The website of Radio Romania International carries the following
announcement:
On August 4th, at midnight (Romania's time) or August 3rd at 21 hours GMT,
the new 300 kW, short wave transmitters located in the locality of Galbeni
started operating. The transmitters are the property of the National Radio
Communications Company, RADIOCOM. We are waiting for your written feedback
related to the quality of reception.
The old transmitters in Tiganesti will be decommissioned, to be replaced, in
about 2 months' time, with new 300 kW transmitters. Therefore, in the coming
months, RRI's broadcasts can be received on the same frequencies on which
you have listened to our programmes so far and which we announced in mid May
2008.
RADIOCOM has given a warning though, that, given the complexity of the
radiant system and of the new automatic switch system, the functioning of
the new short wave transmitters in Galbeni might be interrupted. We will
notify you about these possible interruptions as soon as we get news of it
from our colleagues at RADIOCOM.
In fact, only one of the two new transmitters is functioning normally.
Shortly after publishing this item, a follow-up message was posted on the
RRI website. the following frequencies have been or are being affected:
The programs beamed to India at 3 hours UTC on 11 895 Khz, to Australia at 5.30 hours UTC on 17 770 Khz, to Western Europe at 17.00 UTC on 11 735 Khz, to North America (the East Coast) at 20.30 UTC on 11 940 Khz and at 22.00 UTC on 9709 Khz.
On August 4th, the new 300 kW, short wave transmitters located in the locality of Galbeni had been scheduled to start operating.
The old transmitters in Tiganesti will be decommissioned, to be replaced, in about 2 months’ time, with new 300 kW transmitters.
As soon as the malfunction is remedied RRI’s broadcasts can be received on the same frequencies on which you have listened to our programs so far and which we announced in mid May 2008.
We wish you good reception conditions.
