Title: Radio Miraya - gone Nov 5 2015
Post by: fpeconsultant on November 06, 2015, 2305 UTC: > FRANCE(non) No signal of Radio Miraya eff. from November 25:
> 0300-0600 on 11560*ISS 250 kW / 130 deg to EaAf Eng/Ara in B-15
> 0300-0600 on 9940 ISS 250 kW / 130 deg to EaAf Eng/Ara in B-14

Means certainly October 25?

Would be a closure after exactly eight years, and it would be no surprise, considering that they claim to meanwhile have 26 FM transmitters: http://radio-miraya.org/about/

Their shortwave run started in 2007 at Rimavská Sobota, and when they left for another transmission provider in 2011 it spelled the end for this facility because operating it only a few hours on just three days a week, for what's left at Nexus-IBA, was of course not viable. Then they were for a year one of the very last shortwave transmission customers in the Ukraine until the SW transmitters at the Luch facility had been decomissioned in 2012 as well. Next stations were Kostinbrod, Grigoriopol and finally Issoudun if I recall correct.

Chris - I'm not sure - I've seen addresses for QSLs but have yet to see a report of an actual QSL received....FPE

The stations of Free Press Unlimited (Radio Dabanga, Radio Tamzuj), Foundation Hirondelle (Radio Miraya), Voice of Tibet have sent "real" QSL cards in the past few years. Several other replied by letter or e-mail.
