Second - some news items

ITALY
RAI has multi-lingual news through the night 2300-0500 UTC on 846 and 900 kHz. 3 minute bulletins at xx.00 Italian, xx.03 English, xx.06 French, xx.09 German (sched via Wolfgang Buschel)
 
SWITZERLAND
R Eviva has left the air on 1566 kHz (hopefully for good) ... this means India, Iran, Tunisia & Belarus are available. (MH)
 
UNITED KINGDOM
Wonderful Radio London is broadcasting from off Frinton-On-Sea, Essex until 14 August on 1134 kHz. It's using 1 Watt, and can be heard on both sides of the North Sea, with even a report from Manchester. Best time would be sunrise & early morning.
Radio Caroline will broadcast August 9th through August 31st on 1278 kHz from the Ross Revenge anchored at the mouth of the River Medway in Kent. Thus, for a short while, both Radio Caroline and Radio London will be heard together in the area for the first time in 30 years. Programme plans include a one minute silence on August 14th at 3pm (as in 1967) and a marking of the anniversary of August 19th 1989 when the MV Ross Revenge was boarded by an Anglo Dutch raiding party.
Also: Don't forget Cowes Week, the 2-9 August. In previous years this has had an RSL on MW (usually 1602kHz). Listeners on the South Coast (not much chance in the Kent/ E Sussex area due to BBC Kent on 1602) should look for this one. If the station is not on 1602kHz check out other RSL channels like 1413, 1494, 1503kHz etc
Finally: With the new football season upon us, look out for details of football rsl's ... like Radio Chelsea on 1494 kHz ... details are welcome here!!!
