Voice of Greece
« on: March 29, 2022, 2333 UTC »
Last night 0200gmt., 9.420 am caught Greece as usual a good to very good signal, was playing versions of American tunes from the '60's: "House of the Rising Sun", "California Dreamin' ", & "I Say a Little Prayer For You" Dionne Warwick's own version. Now!
I googled for Greece's web site & got this: int.ert.gr , yeah, that IS exactly what happens...! What I want is an email address to send a reception report. What is with the site disappearing after less than a second!? It did the same thing yesturday! Who's got a clue-It sure ain't me!

Strange things are happening.  I checked 9420 khz tonite at 13:30 and no signal from VOG.   I did , however, get a weak  Radio Marti  signal on 9420, something thats never happened before

Curiouser and curiouser.

Yeah, don't know how to respond...I receive a good to very good signal every evening (P.D.T.). I just tried their web page & Woah! It Actually stayed put today. Took a bit of exploring to find a specific page devoted to "Voice of Greece" short wave. Strange you don't hear their xmit.  ??? Will let you know if they respond to a reception report. Signing off now.  8)

I've got them at 0034 UTC, 31 MAR (Wednesday the 30th still here in N. America) with a good signal.

Try these emails - you may get an answer, but I've gotten nothing when I wrote to implore them to stay on the air.

ertinternational@ert.gr
thevoiceofgreece@ert.gr

It used to be this email, where I got my QSL from several years ago (2017 or so), but it's a personal email and I'm not sure it's still valid.

0150 UTC 1 April 2022. Voice of Greece sounding very nice with a S9+ signal. Maybe it's not shutting down after all. Fingers crossed.

Yeah, its weird.   I've never had a problem pulling in VOG but at the time indicated in my previous post the non-result was identical despite various attempts with receiver/antenna combos.  I initially thought it might have something to do with the Coronal Mass Ejections but that wasn't supposed to hit until the following day.  Maybe my QTH was in a galactic black hole that day.  :)

Hope you're right. That "cannibal" solar flair didn't seem to do much for reception here, So far... ::)
