SV: [HCDX]: (HCDX): Silent periods

[Magnus Nilsson 2066 <mni@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello !
Regarding off air due to planned service, the Swedish MW-transmitter in
Sölvesborg on 1179 kHz usually goes of the air once every month but
naturally, when we have a 10 kW backup....
I am sure most other major stations around the world does the same.
