6321.5KHz "SVO" Olympia Radio, Greece
« on: March 07, 2022, 2239 UTC »
Has anyone heard "SVO" Olympia Radio on 6321.5KHz CW recently, last heard here in late 2020, not heard since and have not seen recent reports of such station.

Maybe it has been "retired" although the 8MHz transmission is still active and heard each day.

Reports or news on this much appreciated. ;)
Condobolin, NSW.

The last log entry I have for SVO is dated 10 April 2021 at 00:05 UTC. The frequency was 8424.0 kHz CW and beaconing "de SVO".

I also copied it in CW in April. All I could do was verify de "SVO". The rest I could not identify the language, but saw it listed in my 2022 Utility Guide as Olympia Radio, Greece.
There was fading and signal was S4 from my location.
