On Tuesday, 29th November 2016 from 0230-0300 UTC
on 7250 kHz (to NoAM) we will broadcast our first English edition.The topics: we speak with Rimantas Pleikys about radio jamming in former
times and today. He wrote a book about it and made a very interesting film
documentary.And: 4 years ago, on 28th November 2012, Radio Canada International shut
down the Sackville transmission site. 2 years later the facility was
scrapped. Amanda Dawn Christie made a film called Spectres of Shortwave that
is shown at diverse film festivals at the moment. She tells the story behind
the film.By the way: Spectres of Shortwave is shown on 28th November in Sackville at
7PM local time. Perhaps you want to join it.All broadcasts are coming from Gavar Armenia site with a power of 100kW,
at azimuth of 330 degrees.Reception reports and comments are highly appreciated to

An off-air recording of the first broadcast (to Europe) has been archived at the SRAA:

The correct QRG will be 7360 due to the extended ham band in the US we moved up.
Many thanks for clarifying. You should communicate this also when asking for reports. Otherwise people start asking questions 🙂
Other German sw stations have stopped QSLing because of heavy workload. So, good to read that you are still trying.
We do confirm by QSL Cards but we still have a queue of about 250 RRs that have to be answered. As we are a small team it usually takes several month
But Shortwave Service doesn’t confirm reception reports by means of QSL cards. Or this time they will make an exception of the rule?
I have asked myself the same question. But despite non-QSLing they still like to receive reception reports 😉
