Boy I tell you Voice Of Russia must possess the absolute cutting edge in antenna technology. The fantastic signal you see in the video is from a transmitter in Russia, but it is so strong as if it was from a stateside relay. Notice my preamp was off too.

They make efficient use of all 250,000 watts. I realise now that the transmitter is on the very eastern edge of Russia and they have a clear shot across the Pacific to me.

Here is a bigger challenge-Voice of Romania which is a lot further around the globe.

I just logged Radio Sweden on 6010 at 0130UTC. They go off the air at the end of October so you have until then to try for a QSL card. They are the last Nordic station on shortwave.

Last thursday I also logged Voice of Croatia on 7375 at 0130 UTC.

Loosing R. Sweden? Noooooooo ....

I like listening to them in the mobile. They have a great signal and I have a card from them some 30 years ago.

Sigh ...

 

[bryan_herbert]

Yup, they will cease shortwave and medium wave operations on October 31st.

 

[ridgescan]

Why? That sucks-did they even say why? Lack of listenership for that part of Europe I suppose.

 

[ridgescan]

Egypt again but in an unusual spot on the dial

Fewer, But Stronger, Language Services from Swedish Radio

“I want to strengthen our quality and competence, including in Arabic, which is the most important language for new arrivals in Sweden”, says Ingemar Löfgren, head of SR International. “It is important to strengthen the broadcasts for the listener groups who need it the most, such as Somalis. In addition I want to give a higher profile to the official minority language Romani, which will shortly start daily broadcasts.”

From the Fall Swedish Radio’s output in immigrant languages will change, with resources concentrated on fewer languages than previously. This is the result of the latest review of SR International’s programming. Swedish Radio will also be ending broadcasts in short and medium wave, and will instead concentrate on Internet webcasting.

“The number of languages broadcast by Swedish Radio has changed over time, in order to adapt to changes in the world around us,” says Swedish Radio’s Program Director Björn Löfdahl. “This is the way it is now, and will be in the future.”

“We have to be where the audience is, and today our audience in the rest of the world is on the Web,” Björn Löfdahl continues. “It doesn’t feel relevant to broadcast on short or medium wave, and it isn’t economically defendable or journalistically justified. Now the money can be directed to where it is needed.”

After the latest review, Swedish Radio will broadcast in the following languages from October 31, 2010:
English - FM and web
Finnish - FM and web
Meänkieli (Tornedalen Finnish) - FM and web
Sami - FM and web
Romani - FM and web
Arabic - FM and web
Somali - FM and web
Persian - FM and web
Kurdish - FM and web
German - web
Russian - web
The following language services will close:
Albanian
Assyrian/Aramaic
Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian
