ARC Newsflash: Radio Beograd relay and Berlin DRM transmitter off air

1602 kHz Radio Beograd 1 had a relay at Sjenica with power of 1 kW. This transmitter seems to have stopped. It hasn’t been heard for 2 weeks.

1485 kHz DRM transmissions from Oldiestar in Berlin has been off since Sunday June 13th and several stations are now fighting. Most interesting is the new Twoje Radio AM at Walcz in Poland with the power of 800 watts. Heard in competition with AFN in Germany and Radio Merkurs in Riga, Latvia after 1900 UTC.

ARC Newsflash: Sjenica 1602 kHz

On 1602 kHz, July 19 at 2000 UTC a station came up with a Radio Beograd –ID. This was the 1 kW outlet at Sjenica, situated far south near the border of Montenegro. I also checked 882 kHz for Podgorica in Montenegro but without results. They are reported to having reduced their power below the nominal 5 kW. (Bengt Ericson, Växjö, Sweden/ARC)
