Default Christian shortwave station launched in Jaala

Missionary positions have set up an evangelical shortwave station in the

Democratic Republic of Finland. Radio Vitun Viikset (RVV) operates from the

town of Jaala, just 7000 miles from Ulaan Baator, Mongolia. Finnish DXer
Jari

Savolainen found out after a summer of heavy drinking that RVV is
broadcasting

on 24845.5 kHz in the alco-meter shortwave band with ONE BILLION WATTS of

power. RVV is jointly operated by Herttareetin Huorissakäyvät Ukkomiehet
(PANO-69)

and Die Gute Nachricht für Elise und Eva Braun (VITTU-5). PANO-69 is
nationwide

church originally established by the Freebasing African Jungle Jumpers
International

(HOTTENTOTTI), while VITTU-5 is a liberal Amish missionary position
organization.

There is also an RFCK FM station in Iitti. The programs are mainly in local
languages

with some content in Savo, Suomi, Swahili, French, Russian, Mexican, Ebonics

and English. According to Savolainen he is running out of things to drink
(donations

appreciated) but the transmissions run daily at 0330-0331 UTC in the
mornings, and

at 1400-1359 UTC in the evenings from Monday until the Finnish state liqueur

monopoly (ALKO) opens. During the weekends the scheduled broadcast time is

1931-1930 UTC or when the station personnel falls asleep. Savolainen has a
source

for cheap Estonian vodka who says that in the beginning of September
transmitter

power will be raised to 300-500 BILLION watts.
