1 – they reduced according their limited budget these days
to a single tx USAGE each bcast center, i.e. Tiganesti and/or Bacau Galbeni.

2 - their US made Continentals are of 2008 year era erection, and
especially ONLY their ‘one of three TXs at Tiganesti site north of Bucharest
failed ‘now and then’ sporadicaly.

After 18 year of daily usage, they produce some failures ‘now and then’,

see for example
the 3 x Continental TXs at K-L Kajang Malaysia site usage,
of daily 9835 and 11665 kHz to Borneo / PHL target,

which reported by Mr. Jeff White (wrmi and hfcc.org representant)

during A-26 request frq conference convention at Kuala-Lumpur / ABU

combined of hfcc.org and ABU organizations, in January 2026.

wwdxc

ps the other 11885 and 15295 kHz RTM K-L test series
lately on shortwave happened instead
from the another 100 kW SW TX delivery firm Ampegon from Switzerland,
prepared during Kajang site 2 x 100 kW TX erection performance.

Regular RTM sce to Borneo eastwards azimuth of this
is adviced for March 1st – hopefully.

Subject: Re: [WOR] Radio Romania International
Now after 1100 French with good signal on both 15300 and 17640 kHz.
Looks like these were again confusion caused by the replacement schedule, which is still valid and published for example in WRTH Web App.
They replied:

The Romanian and English broadcasts complained about are listened to on the 7220kHz frequency (English San Francisco and Romanian Paris) of the defective transmitter and for this reason they are not heard. Change to 17790 (English Mumbai) and (6145 Romanian Paris).

Regarding the frequency 9510 (Spanish Caracas and English NY) and 7220 (French Montreal), I discussed with my colleagues on the site and there was no technical problem. Most likely propagation.

We are happy and grateful that we are being listened to and we strive to broadcast RRI programs at high performance.
Best regards, Mauno

Hi Chris -
Thanks for responding. That’s been my experience as well. I know their transmitters are failing which is too bad because RRI has put a huge signal into eastern NA at least with both its NA and Euro services. I’ve gotten good reception of their French service on 7220 many nights, but without explanation the English and Romanian services are often AWOL.

Hi John,
I tried 9510 at 0100 tonight and noticed they were not on. I didn't hear them last night at this time either. I have noticed this pattern for a while. I thought maybe it was band conditions and/or reduced power for some nights I could notice them amongst the noise floor. It seems to run for 4-6 off then they will reappear for multiple days.

Searching for RTM this morning, 1200 UTC, but all I am hearing is a very weak BBC via Oman in English. Anyone hearing them? Are the tests over ?
