Radio Liberty: nuovo TX da 200 KW in Lituania. Con un piccolo giallo. Poi risolto: 1386 kHz

Una vecchia QSL di Radio Liberty - RFE
Un nuovo trasmettitore da 200 KW in Lituania per diffondere il segnale di Radio Liberty per la Russia e la Bielorussia. Secondo quanto riportato dalla Tass, agenzia russa, l'inaugurazione e l'entrata in servizio on air è prevista per martedì 29 agosto (cosa poi avvenuta)

C'è un piccolo mistero. Le fonti parlano di onde lunghe, cosa che lascia perplessi. Anatoly Klepov, di Mosca, editore di RUS-DX (clicca qui) che ha dato la notizia per primo, infatti ipotizzava che ci fosse un errore.

La frequenza? Un piccolo giallo, presto risolto: 1386 kHz
(Buon segnale anche a Milano)

LITHUANIA. Vilnius is preparing to include a transmitter for broadcast Radio Liberty  to Russia and Belarus.

VILNIUS, August 25th. / TASS /. Lithuania received from the United States, mounted and next week will turn on the transmitter of long waves for broadcasting to the Russian Federation, Belarus and Ukraine programs "Radio Liberty." This was reported on Friday by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Baltic republic.

The inclusion ceremony will be held on August 29 with the participation of Foreign Minister Linas Linkevičius and Transport and Communications Minister Rokas Masiulis.

"The new Nautel NX-200 transmitter will replace the old equipment, which worked for about 40 years," the Foreign Ministry said. "The program will be broadcast in Russian with the help of a new transmitter mounted at Veshintai in Anikščiai district."

The arrived technician is three times more powerful than the previous device: its power is 200 kW, and the former - 75 kW.

The US-funded broadcasting of Radio Liberty, launched in 1953 from West Germany, is now being conducted from Prague. On the territory of the USSR, this instrument of Western propaganda, which occupied the extreme anti-Soviet positions, was drowned. In 1991, the radio station was allowed to operate directly in Russia, but in 2012 Radio Liberty stopped broadcasting to Russia, but continues on the Internet. Re-broadcasting of programs by Russian radio stations is not carried out.

Maybe the correspondent was wrong and the Transmitter will work on MW? (Bravo Klepov, aveva ragione, infatti la frequenza è 1386 kHz. Ma i politici che ne sanno di radio? ndr)
