It’s been several days now since the Greek government tried to shut down Greek National TV and Radio broadcaster, ERT<\/a>. In fact, ERT was only off the air for a few hours; they immediately set up a live Internet stream and restored shortwave service to the Voice of Greece. They’re still going strong and, evidently, expanding.<\/p>\n

SWLing Post reader, Christos, lives in Greece and has been keeping us up-to-date with field reports. He writes:<\/p>\n

This day [Friday] the employees of ERT took over the frequencies of medium waves 666 KHz, 729 KHz, 981 KHz, 1008 KHz (Corfu) and 1404 KHz (Komotini), that the previous days remained silent.<\/p>\n

Short waves (9429 KHZ) and 1260 kHz from Rodos Island continue active.<\/p>\n

[There] are now two radio channels in operation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
