R B2
92 news programming and Radio Drina music programming
(both in Serbian), transmitter site later confirmed
as Marcali, Hungary. However, others still suspect
that this might be the mothballed TX site at Szolnok.
Anyhow, after a few days with Yugoslav stations, the
frequency has been used by the IBB. When I first heard
the station, telephone numbers for ANEM, the Independent
Media Association were announced within both programs,
so - on the eve of the interesting elections - this
seems to be an operation of the Yugoslav opposition,
combining various FM sources. Radio B2 92 was said
to broadcast on 89.2 and 93.0 MHz, and Radio Drina
on 93 MHz.

Weekend R, Virrat. The station was audible by groundwave
only as far as 5 kilometers away from the 50-watt
transmitter. So this one had to be picked up just
around the corner... during the Finnish DX Association
summer meeting. The skip would enable it to be heard
in Central Europe, but not in Southern Finland. |
