FM-DX 2015 in Ruovesi part 17

On the 8th of July 2015, just after 10:30 UTC, the Moldovian and Romanian stations replaced the Ukrainian ones. Also some Turkish signals were detected. Mainly from Istanbul, as usual. One new Istanbul station for me was Radio Slow Time on 91.2. But this time I was quite slow in reporting Turkish stations, so no report was sent.

On 91.6 a Moldovian station National FM was received with quite steady signal, broadcasting political debate. I sent a reception report, not actually expecting reply, but to my surprise the station DID send a confirmation via eMail. Well, with a sad note, because the station’s funding had been ended, and it was closed for an indefinite period. Sure, we have heard about the poor financial state of Moldova …

Around 12:00 UTC the conditions again shifted westwards, and the Balkan stations along with Italians made their come-back. More of that in the next post.
