Anyone on the east coast have any luck picking RU up with a
random/long wire? I get a ton of other European and Asian broadcasts,
but even at 1 million watts, no Radio Ukraine. Is it me or do they
have lousy engineers?

It may just be propogation. If the atmosphere is not such that it will
reflect signals, no one will hear the transimitter S.

I'm on the East coast and I'd love to pick them up. Last I had heard,
they weren't on, or were on occasionally.

They have a MILLION watts??? Good grief. Whom are they trying to
reach, martians? Are they aimed at Mars?

I get Nigeria here, 250K supposedly aimed at Europe, in the
mid-afternoon. So why isn't the 1000K of radio Ukraine playing out my
TV set?

I show Radio Ukraine as having a 100,000 watt transmitter. I haven't
yet heard of a station with a mil output wattage (not that one might not
exist). "Voice of Russia" is an 800,000 watt powerhouse, though. FWIW,
I have yet to pull Radio Ukraine, either.

That could be. I pulled the data from ILG.

Nope, the info is correct. They have not one but 3 transmitters at
1000 KW.

Here is the link I used to confirm it: http://www.tdp.info/ukr.html

Whoops, I mean they have six (6) at 1000KW. Got some birdy sounding
interference too, he,he.

They are currently on 9810 0000-0100 in English amidst some nifty
interference (at least here).

Hi Steve,

Guess thats another one ILG needs to update. I almost got them a
couple days ago on12040 but there is so much signal from DW to Africa
on 12045, Radio Ukraine doesn't stand a chance.

That's probably a pretty good idea because I don't think Radio Ukraine is
using 12040.
