Re - R Kuwait shortwave service outside the requested signal of 15515 kHz, the violently frequency drifting transmission, in the wideband range 15420 to 15550 kHz in 19 mb in Febr, March, April:

led on 14 April to a personal contact to the Ampegon Thurgi Switzerland technician Bodo DF8DX known to me, in order to point by him, to ask for assistance to contact the accordingly R Kuwait technicians to this matter of incorrect transmission outlet during spring weeks 2022.

One day later he told me that although he was not himself involved in the renewal process of the TX and antennas plant in Kabd in 2015, when the 'BBC SK55' types of th 90ties were renewed and also erected some latest Ampegon design revolving antennas. He will contact R Kuwait to inform the technician departement there.
