BULGARIA
VORW Radio International via Kostinbrod (presumed) was caught around 16.54 UTC, just before sign off. While audio was negligible, a decent carrier was present, earning a SINPO of 25432 on 9.400 kHz. This is likely only insomuch as signal was beamed towards Europe, not Asia, and reception was from the back end of the antenna.

An English broadcast of news, programmes on English idioms and "Horizons" was observed from 04.10 till 05.05 UTC (broadcast time 04.00 till 06.00 UTC). Reception on the short-wave frequency of 17.730 kHz (SINPO): 33232 -- poor to fair signal depending on the duration of fading, atmospheric noise and station splatter from adjacent frequency (17.740 kHz). Otherwise, signal was audible and occasionally heard with clear content.
