Default Historic shortwave station revived in Poland

Radio Blyskawica (Lightning) from Warsaw, Poland, has been broadcasting
irregularly on 7042 kHz. The station is replicating broadcasts made during
the Warsaw uprising in 1944. Radio Blyskawica is operated by Polish radio
amateur station SP5PPK, but the historic broadcasts can be heard in the AM
mode. The station has been reported heard at least on September 26 by Thomas
Rösner in Germany on A-DX mailing list. Rösner says that the transmitter
power is only 30 watts. According to Jan Bury in Poland, broadcasts take
place at irregular hours until October 2. Reportedly each broadcast lasts
roughly half an hour. One of the builders of the original transmitter,
93-year-old Antoni Zebik, has constructed the new transmitter used for the
anniversary broadcasts. The original station was destroyed on October 4,
1944, by German troops.
