CHANGES IN RRI'S FREQUENCIES
(2008-05-15)
Last updated: 2008-08-20 18:00 EET
On May 18th 2008, at 21.00 hours GMT, the transmitters in Galbeni, north-eastern Romania will stop functioning and will be replaced by Radiocom with new 300 kW short-wave transmitters. That is why in the following months you can listen to RRI’s broadcasts on fewer frequencies. The programs will be broadcast by our transmitters in Tiganesti, near Bucharest.

The programs broadcast by the transmitters in Saftica, near Bucharest, the internet and satellite transmissions, as well as the broadcasts and rebroadcasts of RRI’s programs by WRN will not be affected by the change.

In summer, after the new transmitters of Galbeni start functioning, most of our programs will be broadcast by those transmitters, to allow us upgrade the rest of our old short-wave transmitters, which become more and more obsolete, and replace them with 300 kW transmitters in Tiganesti and 100 kW transmitters in Saftica.

We hope the inconvenience created by the reduction of frequencies on the short waves will be compensated in a couple of months by a significant improvement of the quality of reception, required by many of our listeners.

Therefore at 12.00 UTC listeners in Western Europe can tune in to our programmes on 15 220 kHz.

At 17.00 UTC listeners in Western Europe can listen to RRI on 11 735 kHz.

At 20.30 UTC listeners in Western Europe can tune in on 9515 kHz while listeners in North America (the East Coast) can tune in on 11 940 kHz.

At 22.00 UTC listeners in Western Europe can tune in on 7 185 kHz and those in North America (the East Coast) on 9 790 kHz.

At 00.00 UTC listeners in North America (the East Coast) can listen on 9775 kHz .

At 03.00 UTC listeners in North America (the West Coast) can tune in on 6150 kHz and those in South East Asia on 11 895 kHz.

At 05.30 UTC listeners in Western Europe can listen on 9655 kHz while those in the Pacific area can tune in on 17 770 kHz.
