5960 "R Pridnestrovye" was on the air Wed, Nov 20, but actually

English. Man announced that next time will be next Wednesday.
Their progr is standing alone (i.e. Tune up tone noted at 1955+,
off at 2030). More interesting: The freq is not coordinated
(usually Moscow does it for this enclave). (Vlad Titarev-UKR,
dswci DXW Nov 20 / BC-DX #603)

6005 [7325 in A-02] The progrmes for the Circassian minority in
the NE, produced by the regional state bc companies GTRK
"Adygeya" in Maykop (Adygeya) and GTRK "Kabbalkteradio" in
Nalchik (Kabardino-Balkariya) seem to be bc now on 6005 kHz
(Tbilisskaya 100 kW, 190 degr) from 2100-2200, after the end of
the VoRussia bcs to that region. The langs used seem to be
Adygei, Kabarda (both are belong to the Circassian lang group),
Arabic and Turkish. However, the exact schedule and lang usage
is rather unclear. Has anybody monitored these bcs? (Bernd
Trutenau-LTU, BC-DX Nov 20)

Monday 2100-2200 in Adygean, Arabic, Turkish; and Friday

There has been some discussion about the powers used by Yakutsk
on its various freqs. R Rossii information from early 2001 says
that 7200 has 250 kW. Monitoring shows, however, that there is a
rather strong 2nd harmonic on 14400. These harmonics are usually
produced by the Sneg model txs produced in the '50s and early
'60s. The power levels of these txs are 50, 100 and 200 kW. As
the current HFCC shows 100 kW for 7200, this is likely to be the
power now used. No harmonics have been observed for the other
freqs (6150, 7140, 7345). It also seems clear now that the new
6150 is a change from 4825. (Olle Alm-SWE, BC-DX Dec 5)

6275 kHz Russian is DEFINITE R Rossii progr. Much stronger in
past days, maybe a spurious fair signal of a Russian tx site
somewhere. // heard 5905 6060 6125 6160.

Maybe via Noginsk-Moscow or Ekaterinburg site I guess.
Calculation 6275 minus 5905 would result to 370 kHz,

divided by 2 = 185 kHz apart.

6275 minus 185 kHz 6090 where the VoRUS Arabic powerhouse from
Moscow area is bc at same time.

'Estimated' spurious signal of R Rossii in Russian on 6275 kHz
left the air at 2300 , when fundamental 6090 kHz V. of Russia in
Arabic lang signed off also. Accompanied 5905 R Rossii still on
air after 2300 [185 kHz apart] (wb)

** RUSSIA. THE RUSSIAN SCENE
Sergey Kolesov in the Ukraine provides this fascinating look at
the flourishing pirate scene in the Russia and the neighbouring
republics. Sergey writes: Below is some info on pirate
activity in CIS. Hope, it would be of interest: Working
frequencies: 1610-1800, 2850-3150 (2890-2930 usb), 3900-3930,
6600-6660 usb, 10450-10470 usb. Majority of stations are going
on air in order to establish contact with similar stations. Some
of them are working in group: a few stations from the same
region are standing by on one frequency, most powerful one is
calling all stations and when contact is established, head
station gives microphone to other group stations to have a
contact one by one. Outstanding stations are Radio Samorodinka
working by fixed schedule and a few more stations like Russian
Roulette, Natalie etc working on 3900-3930 with programmes
sounding like Western European pirates. Below are some logs from

GERMANY EAST Looking back, From the New York Herald Tribune, Nov
6, 1952. 1952: SOVIET RADIO OFFENSIVE. BONN: The Soviet Union is
building five new giant txs in East Germany which Western
experts believe will be used in a new radio offensive against
Western Europe. The txs are expected to go into operation some
time during 1953. Experts say that the Russians' jamming
equipment in East Germany already is adequate, so that these
five txs could only logically be used to drastically increase
propaganda bcs to Western Europe, particularly to West Germany.
My oldest WRTH is the 1964 edition, and stns in the Ge
Democratic Republic n the book were more or less as they have
been until the Fall of the Wall: has anyone books, magazines or
personal records so that we can identify those stns which went
into operation from the GDR in 1953? (SOUTHERN EUROPEAN REPORT
with Stefano Valianti, Dec BDXC-UK Communication / BC-DX #603)
1952-1959 Undoubtly NOT the USSR was built up these txs on
Soviet Zone of Germany/GDR soil these days. The ex-AEG firm
FUNKWERK KOEPENICK in East Berlin-GDR capital built up five
powerful 250 kW mediumwave txs for the GDR state radio
organization Deutschlandsender at: Berlin Uhlenhorst 611 kHz,
Woebbelin 728, Burg 782, and 2nd unit for clandestine usage of
"DFS 904" or "DSS 935" programs. Wilsdruff 1043. The sixt tx at
Wachenbrunn followed in 1959 on 693 kHz. (wb df5sx)

Following up Bernd Trutenau's monitoring of fade times on 4050
and known freqs in CAs : I checked fade out times on Nov 30 here
in Denmark: 4010 Krasnaya Rechka, KGZ 0330 4050 UNID 0330 4635

UNID Not heard 0315-0345

It seems from this monitoring that the UNID on 4050 has sunrise
at the same time as Bishkek on 4010 which means that it is
located in a belt passing Kabul (AFG), Kulyab (TJK), Andizhan
(KGZ), Bishkek (KGZ), Almaty (KAZ), Zyryanovsk (KAZ),
Krasnoyarsk (RUS). (Anker Petersen-DEN, dswci DXW Dec 3 / BC-DX
