Heard TOM 17770 kHz - probably from Gavar Armenia site ... brokered by IRRS
and Spaceline Ltd. too, two organizations to wash their hands in the rent
sum ...
Checked some remote units in Europe.
Only well 17 MHz reception at right kilometer distance in U.K. and North Sea
coastline, signals as S=9+20dB and more.
All other Holland, Germany, Italy, Germany, Austria and Moscow reception
posts had addit dead zone echo, signals arrived twice paths, direct partly
and a 2nd signal travelled around earth.

ITALY [non]. 15215, August 2 at *1358, brand-new clear frequency for IRRS,
as usual starting clumsily with tail of some report in English about the
Euro, 1358:25 cut to ``Triumphal March from Aïda`` theme, and very brief ID,
``IRRS shortwave in Milano, signing on``. Dead air past 1400, then fade up
The Overcomer Ministry, joining in progress some black-sounding gospel
huxter other than BS, punxuated by hoots from the congregation.
Started at poor-fair level, S7 to peaks barely reaching S9+3 and weakened
progressively. Meanwhile I compared to TOM via WWRB 9385, but never could
figure out which was ahead of which, they were so far out of synch as I was
losing the IRRS signal. On 15215, IRRS will no longer have to worry about
colliding with irregular R. Africa on 15190.
Ron Norton had notified us of the new schedule, as 150 kW: 15215 to Asia at
14-15 and also new 17770 to Africa at 17-18, never mentioning it is still
mostly Brother Scare; as DX Re Mix News reports, these are still via
Tiganeshti, ROMANIA, at 100 and 187 degrees, respectively.
What a letdown after the majestic opening theme to hear nothing but BS.
Heard that again on 17770 at 1659 tune-in August 2, now much better signal
than 15215 had been. Same sign-on procedure and JIP (join in progress) TOM,
same non-BS g.h. as before. I again compared to 9385 WWRB (whose signal was
axually weaker!), and easily found 17770 running exactly 60 seconds behind
9385 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
