POLAND 1584 kHz A new Twoje Radio station has recently started on 1584 kHz. Heard for the first time by me on May 17th. Identification ”Twoje Radio AM, Slupsk……….. 1584 kHz”.
The station has 0.8 kW, but still no local programming, but it will probably soon start. Normally the local evening program is 1500 – 1600 UTC.
The signal is very good due to the location near the Polish coast only 300 kms southeast of Växjö. The station was identified thanks to assistance from Hasse Mattisson. (Bengt Ericson, ARC, Växjö)

ARC Newsflash: VOA Deewa, Afghanistan upgraded
AFGHANISTAN
621 The US Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) has issued a modification to its contract with Harris Corporation concerning a recently-installed BBG mediumwave transmitter in Afghanistan. Harris is the only firm capable of meeting BBG´s requirement to enhance the capabilities of the existing 200 kW shelterized mediumwave (MW) transmitting system in a remote location of Afghanistan to provide for 24-7 operations. The enhancement to existing Harris designed and provided broadcast site includes the design, fabrication, shipment, optional installation, commissioning and testing of one (1) additional Caterpillar C-18 generator capacity and fuel capacity at the recently completed site. It is mandatory the new equipment be precisely integrated into the existing site with no downtime. Harris is required to provide all personnel, design, equipment, materials, supplies, documentation, training, fabrication, assembly, packing for overseas shipment, shipment, installation and otherwise do all things necessary and incident to the delivery of a highly efficient and highly reliable commercially available enhancement to the existing solid-state mediumwave (MW) transmitting system. Minimal US Government security is provided at the site.
This appears to be the VOA´s Deewa Radio Service in Pashto serving the area near the Pakistan border.
The transmitter is already on the air and have been heard in Scandinavia.

Log from Fredriksfors April 22nd
Spanish on 1510! Faded down just on top on the hour but quite good up to and after. ”Must be” Boston on its high 1510,019. Have been heard with brokered program at nights earlier and Spanish isn´t quite a surprise but very wearth noting.
In the evening Brazilian signals on 740 and 1220 but nothing interesting and I went to bed at 22.15 uTC.
At 01 some eastern (common) NA:s together with Bahamas very good on 1540. 1370 (WDEA with sports from Sox) and 1200 (with C2C) best.
Signals went southwards and mainly Venezuela and Colombia. Some channels, as 1290 and 1190, to be checked a little better. WIPR alone on 940.
Instead of La Plata at sunrise (03.07 UTC) signals went north again, but to week and to noisy then.

Spent the night in Fredriksfors. Nothing ”interesting”.
The Brazilian(?) carriers were too weak to be audible and I went to bed for a couple of hours sleep at 22.30 UTC.
A new try at 01 but only some ”mumble”.
A little ”better” at 02. Apolo on 1320 quite descent and some LA:s also on 1280, 1290, 1370, 1380, 1470, religious on 820 and 1610. Nothing interesting. 1570 didn´t seem to be ”Q”, but no id.
About 03.30 (at sunrise) a week ”top” from La Plata with signals on 1070, 1190 and 1620 (best a for quite a time, but onlu audible on AM).
