I tuned the frequency 11540, Radyo Denge Welat, according to the shortwaves.info website database.

Thank you very much for your letter, but In our schedule there is no session with a frequency of 11540 kHz. Now there is a repair of the antenna damaged by Ukrainian saboteurs. For this reason, broadcasting on short waves is temporarily stopped. Best regards, Administration of Pridnestrovsky Radiotelecentr.’ I found the answer very interesting, showing very different aspects of the world, through short waves. (Marsan Theobald Fritzen/WRTH FaceBook Page) “The reception Report was sent to the transmitter site, not to Denge Welat. In some cases, it is the person responsible for the transmission site who confirms receipt. As an example, WRMI, several broadcasts are confirmed by it.” “James Clark The transmission of Denge Welat.

TURKEY Instead of the traditional English name Turkey (pronounced “Terki”), all official documents use the word Turkiye – this is how the name of the country is pronounced in Turkish. Turkey has been actively promoting its image and its products on the world market for several years in order to achieve maximum recognition of the country as a brand. The change in the name of the state is intended to formally finalize this PR campaign of Ankara. In particular, the country continues to actively promote the brand “Turk mal” (“Made in Turkiye”) in the world. In June 2022, the official representative of the UN Secretary General, Stephane Dujarric, announced that the world organization had satisfied Turkey’s official request to change the name of the republic in all official documents in foreign languages so that it was written in accordance with Turkish phonetic norms.

7780, Voice of Indonesia via WRMI. Dec 31, 0800+ UT: VOI – Channel II relay in English from WRMI; very brief news (ASEAN item); after the news, as usual, played patriotic song “Bagimu Negeriâ€; numerous VOI IDs; YL DJ with the majority of the programming being pop Western style songs; mentioned “last day of 2022”; OM wishing “R-R-I” listeners a Happy New Year; 0815, world weather report, starting with Banjarmasin, etc.; several brief spots (not programs!) about indigenous music and foods; 0830, “Newsflash,” weather warning. Certainly this is NOT the relay of VOI – Channel I, as noted on 3325; as heard from 1300 to 1400, in English. I would say that Channel I has more indigenous information about Indonesia, while Channel II has more of a Western style flavor to it. (Ron Howard-CA)
