Radio Romania International in Russian on 9510 kHz: the morning edition
The early Russian broadcast of Radio Romania International, 04:30 to 05:00 UTC on 9510 kHz with 9890 kHz in parallel, from Țigănești. The same service as the afternoon programme, on a band that suits the hour.
What you hear
The Russian half hour of Radio Romania International in its morning edition, 04:30 to 05:00 UTC: news from Romania, a press review, a feature and the station's greetings, the same mix as in the afternoon, with the news refreshed overnight. Two frequencies carry it at once, 9510 and 9890 kHz.
Who transmits and why
The service, the Bucharest studio and the Țigănești site with its 300 kW transmitters, which this broadcast shares with the afternoon one, are described in the main article.
When and where to listen
What differs is the band. At 04:30 UTC the 25 metre band of the afternoon edition would still be half asleep, so the morning goes out on 31 metres, which is at its best before dawn: 9510 kHz covers Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltics and European Russia comfortably, and 9890 kHz is the backup if 9510 is noisy. From central and western Europe the signal is usually easy at this hour; in summer, with the sun already up over Romania, the lower frequency of the pair tends to be the stronger. Receivers in Poland, Finland and the Baltics are a good first choice.
