Shortwave listening and everything radio including reviews, broadcasting, ham radio, field operation, DXing, maker kits, travel, emergency gear, events, and more
Sadly the broadcast were short lived, becoming intermittent at the weekend of 5-6 March 2022 before finally ceasing.
The transmitter was near the Black Sea port city of Mykolaiv which has been on the front line of the Russian gression since the end of last week.
However, Polish Radio has been broadcasting news in Ukrainian on 225Khz at 10:07 14:05 and 17:07 local time.
I feel admiration and pain when I follow thé struggle of thé brave and United Ukranian peopie. Beeing à Finn I recognize thé feeling to have been abandonned by thé international community as was Finland during thé Winter war 1939-1940 against thé same neighbour as you are now. I am listening to your transmission 6/3/2022 at 00.20.
God bless your nation and your people.
I could hear it clearly in Stockholm, Sweden yesterday. Not so great video but anyway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rp_Dvcs3NP8
Hearing this via Fulda Germany SDR at 1930 UTC — interference from a music station same frequency…
The video shows it as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mykolaiv
at 400kW in the far south near the sea. I don’t see how they managed it unless it’s really under Russian control or it somehow slipped their notice.
Have to amend myself: apparently it was off air before Feb 2nd due to funding cuts but back on air after that. The headline made it seem it was down due to the war but that would seem not to be the case yet?
The Fog of War is like that…
I’ve just watched a video from a fellow radio listener who lives in north Italy with audio of Radio Ukraine 549kHz on facebook.
