Radio Ukraine
Anyone on the east coast have any luck picking RU up with a
random/long wire? I get a ton of other European and Asian broadcasts, but even at 1 million watts, no Radio Ukraine. Is it me or do they have lousy engineers? mike |
It may just be propogation. If the atmosphere is not such that it will
reflect signals, no one will hear the transimitter S. |

Is it me or do they have lousy engineers? mike I'm on the East coast and I'd love to pick them up. Last I had heard, they weren't on, or were on occasionally. They have a MILLION watts??? Good grief. Whom are they trying to reach, martians? Are they aimed at Mars? I get Nigeria here, 250K supposedly aimed at Europe, in the mid-afternoon. So why isn't the 1000K of radio Ukraine playing out my TV set? -- Col. I.P. Yurin Commissariat of Internal Security Stakhanovite Order of Lenin (1937) Hero of Socialist Labor (1939) |

So why isn't the 1000K of radio Ukraine playing out my TV set? I show Radio Ukraine as having a 100,000 watt transmitter. I haven't yet heard of a station with a mil output wattage (not that one might not exist). "Voice of Russia" is an 800,000 watt powerhouse, though. FWIW, I have yet to pull Radio Ukraine, either.

I almost got them a couple days ago on12040 but there is so much signal from DW to Africa on 12045, Radio Ukraine doesn't stand a chance. mike |

Nope, the info is correct. They have not one but 3 transmitters at 1000 KW. Here is the link I used to confirm it: http://www.tdp.info/ukr.html mike |

Got some birdy sounding interference too, he,he. mike |

I can't help but wonder about one country - and not a terribly rich one at all - with six one million watt transmitters. Maybe - but it doesn't seem likely, to me. I'm getting it this evening clearly, with some interference, on 9810, too. But it's no stronger than most stations from that part of the world that beam broadcasts to the west, and not nearly as strong as Voice of Russia usually is (though I know that doesn't prove anything with all the variables involved).

I haven't tried them for a month or so but they were coming in fairly well on 12040 in the evenings here in Baltimore, MD.
