\"Elad-FDM-S2-VOG\"<\/a>Early this morning, around 01:14 UTC, I tuned to 9,420 kHz with the Elad FDM-S2<\/a> and heard the Voice of Greece<\/em> for the first time since the Greek national broadcaster,\u00a0ERT had been restored.<\/p>\n

SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Richard Langley, also noted the strong signal from Greece. \u00a0He has kindly shared the following information which he also posted in the DXLD Yahoo group:<\/p>\n

“Greece is back on 9420 kHz this evening after being absent for some days and is now carrying the Voice of Greece […]\u00a0program and not ERT from Athens or Thessaloniki. Noted with good signals in eastern Canada at 01:40 UTC. Radio audio is about half a minute delayed with respect to Internet stream: […](http:\/\/www.ert.gr\/i-foni-tis-elladas\/?<\/a>). Not noted on other frequencies.<\/p>\n

[…]9420 kHz signed off just after [02:00] UTC. Internet stream continued. And I should correct myself when I mentioned “not ERT from Athens or Thessaloniki.” Should have said not ERA from Athens or Thessaloniki. ERA is the abbreviation for Hellenic Radio […], as opposed to ERT which stands for Hellenic Radio-Television […]. ERT1, ERT2, etc. are TV stations while ERA1, ERA2, etc. are radio stations. This is a bit like BB1, BBC2, …, and BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2, and so on.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Richard followed up a few hours later:<\/p>\n

“I continued listening to the Internet stream after the SW transmission ended, and at 02:57 UTC, the station identified itself in both Greek (“Edo Athina, I Foni Tis Elladas”) and English (“This is Athens. You are listening to the Voice of Greece”) several times, followed by the traditional interval signal and then what I believe to be the Greek national anthem at 03:00 UTC. A program of Greek music then ensued.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Many thanks for sharing the details, Richard. \u00a0My recording actually ended when VOG signed off–I suppose I caught about the last 46 minutes of the broadcast.<\/p>\n
