VoR uses the Grigoriopol site, which is located inside Pridnestrovye, the
area of Moldova which has been annexed by Russian seperatists. It is the
only SWBC site in Moldova, which explains why Radio Moldova International is
obliged to use a transmitter in Romania! The Russians often register
transmitter sites under the name of a nearby (or even not so nearby) city.
This also applies to the HFCC registrations. I asked Mr. Titov, Chief of the
Main Centre for the Control of Broadcasting Networks, about this a few years
ago, and he confirmed that many of the listed sites are not where the lists
say they are! The locations mentioned in WRTH have been researched by Olle
Alm and a team of Russian DXers over many years, involving much travel and
studying of maps. While they are still not 100% accurate, they are probably
considerably more so than the lists used by the people who verify the QSL's!
Sites used to relay foreign broadcasters such as Radio Netherlands are
generally correct as the client stations usually inspect the facilities
before contracts are signed.
