Shortwave Broadcast / Re: 9420 kHz R Helliniki Radiophonia

« on: April 10, 2022, 0905 UTC »

I have had comments from other north American DXers saying the same thing, the problem being 9420 kHz cannot be reached during those new transmission times.
I also see 11645 & 9935 kHz still being listed, but I have not checked those frequencies out yet since 9420 kHz was always the best one to receive.
The listings on eibispace.de & shortwave.info have not been updated yet to show VOG's new schedules.
They still have a strong signal for Europe, but unfortunately them closing early at 1700 hrs UTC is not helping reception outside of Europe.

Between S5 to S7. In the past it used to be Krania FM relay, but it is not matching stream today. So far 80s rock, now with Journey.

Seems there are two stations on this frequency, can hear one with music but its creating a very loud buzz at the same time.

Gone off air at 1700 hrs UTC, nothing ceremonious. They were still transmitting a church service which was matching their webstream.

I cannot confirm this but I saw a new time schedule for VOG 9420 kHz which was 1159 to 1659 hrs UTC. I suppose this will last until the new deadline closure of May 31st

11 metre coming alive this late afternoon with maybe Turkish comms in FM mode. Today has been much weaker than yesterday although hopefully it will get better.

10 metre band has some signals from the Middle East, also south America.
