GREECE looks like the maintenance 'repair day Tuesday' not solved their faulty transmitter audio problem.
Checked 9420 kHz outlet channel now at 19.34 UT in various Kiwi-Net SDRs in western Europe and U.K. at S=9+40 -34dBm level measured in SUI, GER, BEL, HOL, and GB too. Typical Balkan flute folk music played tonight. Two x 100 kW Continental shortwave units of 1996year are still out of service now at present. Looks like the 3rd 250 kW unit from former US IBB RFE Portugal GLORIA site is now in use again - with distorted audio kind. Moved-in from Portugal to Avlis in 1998 year, and appeared real in service later in December 2004. Old Greek chap Babbis: In an e-mail dated Febr 27, 2004 "Dear John: In Avlis is 2 x transmitters 100 kW and 1 x 250 kW where it works 70 kW. Babis." And same happened in July 15, 2017: GREECE 9420.005 Voice of Greece, Helenic Radiophonia Avlis, for the FIRST TIME since months, - using the 3rd FAULTY Continental 250 kW transmitter this July 15 !! HEAVY BUZZ AUDIO annoying, at 0445 UT on July 15, music program from the 30ties of the past century played. Either sideband, 20 or more terrible buzzy audio peak strings visible, 11 kHz wideband signal block.
