BULGARIA Petition. Sofia Vakaral history.
<https://www.facebook.com/save.vakarel/info>
Historical and technical information on the Vakarel transmitter.
Radio transmitter station "Vakarel" is located 2 kms from village Vakarel
(Ihtiman) and is situated at an altitude of 900 m. The station was designed
and built by the German company Telefunken specialists after long research
to find the best place for broadcast in the ranges of long and medium waves.
Very best features of the terrain and location ensuring RPS "Vakarel" to
01.01.2015 one of the leading country and Europe places in quality local and
international broadcasting.
On November 17, 1937 were carried out the first experimental broadcasts, and
on 8 December the same year the official Launching and began regular
operation of the station. With the start of broadcasts of Vakarel in Europe
begin to clearly hear emissions Sofia Radio broadcast wave of 352.9 m / 850
kHz with power 100000 watt.
The antenna of this transmitter type Blaw-Knox, is a real technical marvel,
not only the time, but today. It has a diamond shape, high is about 200
meters tall and weighs about 130 tons, it is reinforced with four massive
steel guyed. Of this type in Bulgaria has one antenna - Stara Zagora - also
built in 1936, but the Hungarian company Standard. In Europe there are only
two antennas - one in England and Hungary.
Transmitter's contemporary, the technician Ivan Pickles tells about the
construction of Vakarelska transmitter: "In 1936 year on a high hill near
the village began construction Vakarel ... Facing the big spindle diversity
antenna, 214 meters high, which ultimately rested on a glass insulator stick
with four strong steel ropes. Dug deep ditch, which takes special
high-frequency cable to the studio in Sofia. The construction of the
transmitter is held by the company-builder "Telefunken", but in construction
attended many of our workers, technicians and engineers, including Eng.
Martulkov, Eng. Pipev, Eng. Kolarov."
Ing. Stanislav Martulkov gives a detailed description of the facility in
1938 in year-on BIAD: "The location of the new transmitter is selected after
basic research - about 905 m. Above sea level, 37 kms from Sofia, about 2.5
kilometers before Vakarel ... alarm antenna for airplanes going through the
revolving lights of a thousand watts, with a red light, built 15 meters high
masts on both sides of the antenna."
Eng. Gregory Uzunov describes antenna Vakarel "powerful transmitter antenna
near the village Vakarel built by "Hein-Lehmann" Berlin is an iron mast
structure with fish shape (wider in the middle of its tapered at the ends)
with a height of 179 meters. At the top of the antenna is extended by a
metal rod, which rises in height and 17 meters in such a way that the entire
height of 196 meters. (In other calculations height was 199.82 m). Conductor
current serving four flange beams, power antenna becomes the bottom of
tubular wire."
Eng. K.Todorov: "From its center are tensioned steel cables (93 th meter),
four in number, in 60 mm thick, composed of 121 wires. The base of the mast
is concrete block, heavy 48 tons and blocks which are nailed ropes are 67
tons apiece."
In the words of eyewitnesses lies only a hint of the colossal work on the
construction of a high-quality national transmitter. Work laid with love and
professionalism, sent waves of RPS "Vakarel 'homes even English.
The transmitter of Vakarel is not affected by any natural disaster - did not
hurt nor earthquake or hurricane winds. During World War II survived the
bombing because it serves as a reference to the Anglo-American airmen. After
1944, the national transmitter end Vakarel came to be called "Transmitter
Hristo Botev". Due to lack of spare parts, the transmitter works with half
power - 50 kW. In 1950, the General Directorate for broadcasting contract
with Hungarian company "Standard" for the repair of "Transmitter Hristo
Botev". On February 24, 1954 the facility was put into regular ekspoatatsiya
with renewed power of 100 kW.
In 1984 vavveden in eksploatatatsiya Bulgarian transmitter development of
the Institute of heavy radio electronics (led by the famous engineer. Hristo
Bachvarov) with power of 40 kW, reset by means of long waves with a
frequency of 261 kHz, a frequency known to thousands of Bulgarians and
foreigners. The transmitter works until 2001, when after one month break is
replaced by a Russian type DSV-75 with power 75 kW, which is currently
unavailable. This transmitter was delivered to RPS "cape", but was never
installed there. RPS "Vakarel" is one of the 26 remaining operating
transmitters of long waves in the world. Broadcast programs can be heard
here very well throughout the country and in Europe, have a loyal following.

NO to the destruction of RPS "Vakarel", the symbol of Bulgarian Radio.
Radio transmission station "Vakarel" - 78 year old pride of Bulgaria, was
stopped on 01.01.2015. Help save her from destruction !

Dear compatriots,
On 1 January 2015 contrary to the interests of thousands of listeners and
national security were stopped long wave transmitter 261 kHz in RPS
"Vakarel" and medium-wave frequencies in Gallikos Kilkis, Samuel, Kardzhali,
Republic and Targovishte. Despite these many listeners medium-wave
frequencies were largely local coverage predvatelyat in Vakarel had even
internationally.
Currently this site with historic and strategic importance is about to be
liquidated following the fate of the majority of suspended radio in recent
over 20 years.
History of RPS "Vakarel" stretches back to back in 1934, when specialists
from the company Telefunken visit Bulgaria in search of the most suitable
location for broadcasting. After almost a year and demand measurements, they
stop at the height above the Sofia village Vakarel. The location is ideal
for a number of natural and geographical reasons. In fact it is the best in
the country. In 1936 construction began on the first transmitter and in
nearby 1937 already made the first tests. On 17 November 1937, the
transmitter enters into operation. And from that moment began the creation
of a legend, fought their way with her beautiful voice as hundreds of
specialists, engineers and native genius of radiodeloto and millions of
listeners. A national pride. Until this New Year's Eve, 78 long and
turbulent years.
The importance of the station is beyond doubt. Through its program of
Bulgarian National Radio reach thousands of listeners outside other coating,
whether or VHF television. Director General of BNR Mr. Radoslav Yankulov in
a gust of inadequate and incompetent fatal modernism is going to war against
the broadcasting of long and medium wave. According to his statements it is
obsolete technology, rejected all over the world, too expensive for
maintenance and generally meaningless. According to him, Bulgaria has 98%
coverage of the country with the FM signal. He is even ready, in his words,
a financial scheme by which to buy the poor listeners VHF radios. The truth,
my dear compatriots, is much different.
Bulgaria is a mountainous country and a considerable part of the population
lives in the mountains. Despite the presence of several dozens of regional
and national radio stations in VHF range, due to rough terrain their
coverage of mountainous areas is very limited. These areas are served until
recently by twenty regional and 7 national radio coverage of the SG and ST.
These transmitters broadcast programs of Radio, plus news content was
provided by the regional studios of Radio, giving listeners an interesting,
diverse and relevant information for the region. Due to the nature of the
spectrum reached their voice not only to the most remote corners of
Bulgaria, but also to our compatriots abroad. Bulgarian speech was reaching
tens of thousands from the western suburbs, the Bulgarians southern Romania,
the thousands in Europe.
According to experts in the industry to achieve too VHF coverage of 98% must
be built between 800 and 1,000 new FM transmitter, most of them must be
located in rugged terrain. Behind the promise of Mr. Yankulov hide millions
of BGN deals for construction of road infrastructure, grid, microwave
network and radio transmission network. And it will come to the Bulgarian
taxpayer tens of times more expensive than the maintenance of all the
destroyed and scrapped transmitters SG and ST will be the peak of stupidity
and nekompetenstnostta, wastage of precious and needed resources. The cost
would be astronomical. Then he is ready to gift VHF receivers of all poor
listeners. If for example we put average supply wholesale price of about 30
lev for receiver and modest Suppose that in our country there are 100.000
people living in remote rural areas receive three million lev, the price of
electricity for RPS "Vakarel" for 16 years.
By what right Mr. Yankulov discriminates against those 100.000 Bulgarians in
Bulgaria and thousands abroad?
According to him, the whole civilized world refuses mass stops transmitters
ST and SG. Therefore you in central Europe evening heard over 25 stations of
the SG and 90 CB? For this reason you constantly modernize existing and
build new facilities in the EU Member States? There are several reasons:
1) Huge coverage with lower costs
The coverage area of a modern 100-kilowatt transmitter SG, suitably located
and having a good quality antenna system is up to 2000 km. The annual cost
of electricity would be about 127 546 lev. These are 17 cents per capita per
year. The coverage area of this transmitter CB would be around 400 km. Costs
1000 VHF transmitter would be drastically higher.
2) high security communication channel
The radio can not be easily stopped. This is extremely important in case of
war, natural disasters and accidents. This is one of the main roles of the
national radio - to reach all in such cases. In a statement Mr Yankulov
expressed the view that it is best to listen to Radio on their mobile phones
via the Internet. Due to its high complexity and multi-layered, his proposed
transmission medium is the most vulnerable, insecure and chaotic. Radio is
extremely safe, in case of disaster, accident or war, transfers can be
organized by themselves transmitting stations protected studios, and from
pre-recorded programs and others.
3) Extremely low cost and simplicity of terminal equipment
National Radio is a public service. It must serve the people of them and for
them. Although urbanization of Bulgarian cities, thousands of our fellow
citizens live in isolated and remote areas where food is retrieved with a
daily struggle with the ground for her gifts. Despite the proven return to
rural life, most of these listeners are elderly and low-income. But almost
all have a suitable receiver. In our country there are still thousands of
fully operable tube and transistor radios.
Despite the claims of Mr. Yankulov last repeated on 19.01.2015 in the
morning of BNT1 that broadcasts CB of RPS "Vidin" of mediumwave 576 kHz
reach all listeners in the country, this is not true. The transmitter is
located in a very inappropriate place for broadcasting. Moreover purchased
400 kilowatt transmitter Thompson is poor and causes a number of problems in
the operation, which requires to work with 200 kilowatts of power. Despite
this power coverage area and signal quality are far from sufficient for the
country.
We are all aware of the financial, organizational and resource difficulties
for the state national media. Abbreviation of regional programs is
understandable. But the exclusion of only a transmitter having a capacity
for national coverage is not.
We appeal to all of you from the ordinary listener, to the members of the
parliamentary committee on culture and media! Let us not allow mercantile
tear everything built to destroy the little left of a once proud our
national radio. Let us save RPS "Vakarel" and turn it into the main
transmitter broadcasting center of Bulgaria.
We call for:
1) Purchase of the State of RPS "Vakarel";
2) Purchase and installation of a new transmitter SG from a reputable
supplier (eg. Transradio, Gates or Nautel) with capacity of 50 kW in the
estimated annual cost of electricity by 63 773 lev or 9 cents per capita per
year;
3) Purchase and installation of new CB transmitter from a reputable supplier
(eg. Transradio, Gates or Nautel) to power 100 kilowatts, at an estimated
annual cost of electricity from 127,546 lev or 17 cents per capita per year;
4) preserving old Dvublokov transmitter DSV-75 as a reserve power, proven in
the toughest conditions.
5) Construction of new diplexer that will allow simultaneous operation of
two transmitters with existing antenna system;
6) Restoration of broadcasting program "Horizon" Radio station SG and ST for
the country and abroad.
7) Construction of the area of one of the residential buildings in the
station of a modern museum of Bulgarian radiodelo an information center and
a library. The museum is open for organized visits of Bulgarian and foreign
citizens, students from technical schools and universities.
A good example of suitable transmitters are Nautel NX50 / NX100, Transradio
TRAM50 / TRAM100, and Gates Flexdivia 3DX50 / 3DX100.
These actions would provide not only 100% coverage for much less money than
those needed to build a grand network of VHF transmitters, but also a safe,
inexpensive and proven method to reach foreign audiences from countries like
Ukraine, Turkey, Egypt, Italy, Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Serbia,
Albania, Belarus and others. All this can be achieved with the vote of
confidence of German experts, chosen height of the village Vakarel as the
best option for broadcasting in the country, with the vote of confidence of
the Bulgarian State again be the master and guardian of a legendary station.
Only in this way Bulgaria's voice can be heard again from all its podannitsi
home and away.

Sounds like an April Fool joke to me.
Another good one

** AUSTRALIA. 17840, April 1 at 0535, R. Australia at VG level here after local
``midnite``, and the OSOB; with some hum which turns out to be just from the
phoner clip at the moment, goes away showing how clear the signal is. Also good
on // 15240, poor on 15415, in accordance with different azimuths. May 17840
keep up like this! It`s the one at 21-09 on 70 degree azimuth aimed right at
us, like 9580 at 09-21; just needs agreeable propagation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA. 11590, April 2 at 1325, 1330, 1337, 1406, 1458 chex, no signal
from RBA, where it`s supposed to be now with English after 1445 to S Asia. I
tuned in at 1325 expecting to hear their hymn medley pr?lude. What happened to
it? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1767, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRIA. 6155, April 1 at 0538, ?1 is still playing some lite classical
wake-up music which makes it onto the token 75-minute SW broadcast, now shifted
one UT hour earlier, so a little more darkness on path and a little better
reception, soon to be lost as we progress further into summer. Only poor signal
not enough to enjoy, plus a LAH presumably from Fides, Bolivia, always
off-frequency to hi side. Yet the Moosbrunn SW transmitters are run for many
foreign clients, following in the footsteps of Uzbekistan, dissing its own
broadcasts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BANGLADESH. 15505, April 1 at 1359, BB open carrier, poor with flutter: time
for less than one complete IS before mistimesignal intervenes ending at
1359:33.5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 4885, April 2 at 0540, music audible under CODAR and local storm
noise, so R. Clube do Par? is active for a change (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11710 & 11745 & 11815, April 2 at 0513, crackling spurs from
11780.1v RNA/RNB, the closer ones stronger (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. 19000, April 2 at 1338, JBA signal here, matching the
Thursday 13-14 HFCC and Aoki schedules for RFA Tibetan via KUWAIT, and thus
surely jammed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 13850, April 2 at 0514, VG signal level, from R. Cairo to North
America, but presumed Arabic is suptorted; and splatter up to 20 kHz above and
below (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** HAWAII [and non]. 15000, April 1 at 1308, WWVH is very good such that the YL
voice announcements are slightly overmodulated/distorted, while only a trace of
WWV underneath. But there is a third station with second tix of a different
pitch, and they are not a semi-second out of synch. BPM China would be most
likely if they are now on time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INTERNATIONAL INTERNET & VACUUM. As I mentioned before, we have been relying
on the Smithsonian Channel (Suddenlink cable 328 in Enid), for CBS Sunday
Morning, once we discovered it was being repeated there Sunday afternoons,
Monday mornings, and at least one more time during the week; since there is too
much else going on at 1300-1430 UT original airtime. We would never have known
about this except checking out the S.C. schedule, as it was never mentioned on
CBS itself. Osgood would do a different opening (?) and closing, and the final
Nature Segment would always play much longer on S.C. than CBS itself ? close to
2 minutes instead of maybe a semiminute, as disposable filler to round out the
time.
So on March 29 we skipped the CBS airing, and were all set for it on S.C. at
1800 UT --- but NOT --- something else was on, and searching its schedule, all
the CBSSM airings are gone, without notice. On CBS website it does appear most
or all of the SM segments may be viewed individually, but it`s a pain to have
to mess with it. At least the ``extended`` nature segment, at least this week,
ran about another minute even longer than on TV. CBS is part owner of S.C., so
obvious how this came about, but why quit? Most of the CBS commercials had been
replaced by Smithsonian promos. The bottom line rules (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 11510, April 2 at 0511, poor signal with heavy flutter,
presumed Denge Kurdistane with Kurdish music on A-15 channel ex-9400.
Registered as PRIDNESTROVYE site 03-19, but at least part of it later is
Bulgaria. Same type of heavy flutter on 9700, ROMANIA in French, tho K index at
03 was only 1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 11725, April 2 at 0513, no signal from RNZI, so must be another
Thursday maintenance period; propagation OK, as Australia is in (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, April 2 at 2036 UT, KUCO Edmond with tristation ID including
95.9 Woodward now as ``KCSC`` which was the original call on 90.1, now
preserved for posterity on ex-KZCU; presumably started April 1 when not checked
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Why do you not allow your countless viewers outside storm areas to
continue watching CBS? You`ve been interrupting Letterman. Yet on 9.2 you are
still showing hours-old news/weather!!!!!! Useless. And what about KSBI? You
were supposedly going to put CBS on there, but it isn`t. In tornado season, at
least, any evening likely to be stormy, just put CBS on one of the extra
channels and be done with it --- without weather interruptions. If we need the
wx, we`re smart enough to watch the main channel (Glenn Hauser, Enid, contact
form to News9 = KWTV OKC, 0357 UT April 1, via DXLD)
Glenn, CBS programming is now available on KSBI, Cox Channel 7 or 707 or 52.1
over the air. Thank you, (Jen Billings, Executive Producer, KWTV News9, 0426
UT, e-mail reply to gh, via DXLD)
Yes, but not until 11:00, after missing the first half of Letterman.
You have all these extra channels (and could create more, like 9.3 or 52.2) so
please just put CBS on one of them when there is any weather which will disrupt
9.1) (Glenn, reply, ibid.)
I understand... I asked for the programming to be flipped over earlier. I
apologize my engineers were slow to react. I promise we'll work to be better.
Thanks for watching... (Jen Billings, 0502 UT April 1, ibid.) See also
INTERNATIONAL INTERNET & VACUUM: Smithsonian/CBS
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. We habitually watch NHK TV News at the only time
available, via OETA OKLA 13.2 subchannel, M-F 1600-1630 UT. Previous time
references indicated it was one or two hours delayed, but April 2 at 1600 the
anchor opens saying it`s 7 pm Thursday in Tokyo! That was 1000 UT, entirely too
long to delay a world news program. Is no later one available, as 5 am CDT
would not have much of an audience here? By now it`s 1 am in Tokyo (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. 13740, Wednesday April 1 at 1344 as I tune across this AM
frequency, startled to hear a ``CQ`` in Morse code amid music and announcement
in Russian, poor. Aoki shows this is RRI from Tiganeshti during this semihour
only, so was this a DX program? Or like in English merely a mailbag. BTW, in
Russian, there is no C or Q as we know them (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 17855, April 2 at 2033, REE is still missing from what had been its
strongest frequency, on 290-degree N American beam, but audible on 17715 poor,
15490 fair, 15450 poor. Maybe it`ll be back if they get a fourth transmitter
operational again. Supposedly some of the several units are back in Spain after
a visit to America for repairs --- still find it hard to believe they shipped
the entire transmitters back and forth rather than components such as exciters
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1767, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN [and non] 11650, April 1 at 0538, R. Dabanga, poor via VATICAN with
tone jammer; // 13800 via MADAGASCAR is JBA, can`t tell if there is a tone
jammer too.
11650, April 2 at 0512, R. Dabanga poor with tone jammer atop it; 13800, April
2 at 0515, R. Dabanga fair signal but with double-tone jamming, the hi whiner
and the low audible heterodyne (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1767, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** TIBET [and non]. 4820, April 1 at 1246, poor signal with het on hi side,
1248 could be in Chinese.
4920, April 1 at 1248, poor broadcast signal. Both these could be Lhasa, the
latter in Tibetan; or both could be AIR INDIA, Kolkata and Chennai
respectively, all scheduled on air at this time, as the two giant neighbors
cannot or will not agree to use non-conflicting 60mb frequencies. The 4820+ het
could be India, which typically wanders off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** TIBET [non]. 15525, April 1 at 1406, presumed V. of Tibet via MADAGASCAR,
poor-fair, and as expected, jumps to 15530 at 1407:04 to avoid Chicom jamming;
but none heard here before or after on either frequency. So no change in this
from B-14 to A-15. No OOB CNR1 jammers found propagating before 1400 in a 12-18
MHz scan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1766 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday April 1 at 1315
on WRMI 9955, sufficient, no jamming, but usual RTTY on hi side to avoid. Also
confirmed Wednesday April 1 at 2100 on webcast of WBCQ; a few minutes later can
detect a JBA carrier on 7490v. Also confirmed UT Thursday April 2 at 0350 on
WRMI 9955, good signal, as 1767 is not yet ready. Also presumed one more repeat
on 9955, April 2 at 1230 as 1767 is still not ready.
WORLD OF RADIO 1767 monitoring: finished and uploaded by 2118 UT April 2, so
first SW airing will be Friday 2130:
Fri 2130 WRMI 15770 & 7570
Sat 0630 HLR 7265-CUSB Hamburger Lokalradio [time shift for DST]

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11425-SSB, April 1 at 1350, intermittent music, singing and 2-way
contacts, very poor here, again at 1358, and meanwhile several similar signals
below this frequency. Presumably Indonesian QSO pirates, as also heard here
last Oct 22 & 23 as in DXLD 14-44, originally reported by Dan Sheedy in DXLD
14-43 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 13562-CW, approx., April 2 at 0517, vs heavy CODAR I detect a CW
beacon at the verge of inaudibility. Slow ID but copying each character is
difficult as I listen over and over for almost ten minutes. Stops or fades out
by 0526. Closest I can make out is V1RGM/B, but at least one of those is likely
to be wrong, as I find no similar call in the HIFER references, nor is it a
valid ham call. Amazing number of unrelated hits on the web, however, for
V1RGM. Ideas? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
