There has to be be a mistake in the original item. Bolshakovo 1386 carries
Voice of Russia until 1900 UTC when this tx is obliged to close down in
accordance with the agreement between Lithuanian and Russian telecom
authorities. From 1902 UTC, Sitkunai in Lithuania takes over 1386 with
China Radio International. I spoke with the operators in Lithuania and they
say that they definitely did not carry the Overcomer Ministry on 1386 at
any time. It is highly unlikely that the operators in Russia would break
the agreement and would leave Bolshakovo on the air together with Sitkunai.

I can also add that the antenna in Bolshakovo for 1386 is not a mystery. It
is no "rhombic antenna" monster, but a type called "SV4+4", one of the
standard types for long distance MW transmision designed in the USSR. It
consists of two rows of 4 masts (each with a height of 100m), one active
row and one passive. Bolshakovo has three such units for different
directions.
