Two hours on Saturday evening have also been been added on 7,290 kHz, to complement our Friday and Sunday broadcasts on weeek-ends between 1800-2000 UTC (2000-2200 CET, summertime).
2) The antenna type and direction for all broadcasts on 7,290 kHz (150 kW) has been changed to allow better coverage of Middle East and the whole of Africa. Europe will be covered through the back and sides of the directional antenna.
3) Broadcast on 9,510 kHz on Sundays will still use an antenna favoring reception of Europe, North Africa and the near Middle East. DX reception, however, may be also possible outside of the above mentioned targets.
