Radio Inter has finally returned at 918 kHz, now with sporadic tests, although it is unclear whether from the site located on the Humera road, in Pozuelo de Alarcón (Madrid), or from the site  located on the M-503 road in Villanueva del Pardillo (Madrid). The site has been renovated and a new transmitter has been installed that has a maximum power of 100 kW, although it is supposed to be able to emit with the authorized power of 20 kW. ----- Pedro Sedano, Madrid, Spain _._,_._,_

signal of Asmara Eritrea twice this Monday UT afternoon 7140.020 kHz at
15.56 UT noted in Athens Greece and Doha Qatar Perseus Net remotedly,
