In the arsenal of the center there is a directional antenna system of the medium wave range - Bolshaya Zarya (a chain of towers) The center goes on the air according to the schedule at the following frequencies: 864 kHz, 1350 kHz, 1377 kHz, 1395 kHz Previously used frequencies: 234 kHz and 1314 kHz Until April 1, 2014, Voice of Russia was relayed from here http://www.radio-int.am/rus.html Suddenly, who wants to tell. The cost of an hourly broadcast on medium waves with a power of 500 kW is $ 250 (23,000 rubles at the exchange rate).

It is important to note that the decision to close the transmission center has nothing to do with the BBC World Service. All land on the Kranji site is owned by the Singapore government, which has wanted the land back for the past 30 years and said more than 6 years ago that once the lease expires, it will not be renewed.

"The time has finally come... After a (too) long hiatus, FRS-Holland will be back on the air in July/August. The combination of circumstances forced us to be inactive for more than 6 months. We regret this inaction, but: with new energy, we will soon return to the shortwave ether. Good news: all the familiar FRS voices will be with us: Jan, Mike, Bert, Dave and Peter V. Important: Our site frsholland.nl will be down for a while as we are moving to a new hosting provider. This means that we will create a new site starting in July/August. We will be airing on Sundays for three consecutive weeks with a two hour show. July 23: 18:59 - 21:04 UTC July 30: 18:59 - 21:04 UTC August 6: 18:59 - 20:59 UTC All programs will be thematic and include various radio materials. Do not miss! Frequencies Frequencies will be 6185 kHz and 7700//5800 (or 5790) kHz. Last year, we had difficulty finding a suitable frequency around 5.8 MHz, so it is difficult to give an exact frequency. But it will be around 5800 kHz. New stickers New stickers with the logo of our station are available. Printed on high quality paper in full color. Only for reports sent by regular mail to P.O.Box 2702 in 6049 ZG Herten, the Netherlands. We hope to see you soon on the shortwave bands! Enjoy the summer of 2023."

The signal repeats every 22 minutes and lasts about 5 minutes. Surprising is the fact that scientists have been receiving this radio signal and even recording it for the past 30 years, but they have not paid attention to it. An unusual space object, called GPM J1839-10, is mentioned in a study published in the scientific journal Nature (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06202-5). According to some researchers, a magnetar, a neutron star with an extremely strong magnetic field, can be the source of the signal, however, according to modern scientific data, magnetars do not emit radio waves. To date, the number of various repeating radio signals from space that scientists have managed to fix has already reached two and a half dozen. One way or another, but at the moment astronomers do not have a convincing theory explaining the occurrence of such activity, and for now they continue to record cosmic messages in the hope of deciphering them in the future.

The Shortwave Modernization Coalition believes that the 2-25 MHz band is underutilized and wants to use it for long distance transmission of delay-sensitive data from ground stations. Users will be companies working with certain types of financial transactions; the proposal would prohibit voice transmission and use by mobile stations.
