AZERBAIJAN Voice of Azerbaijan heard 14 Nov at 1500-1630 on 6110 kHz.

[non, NAGORNO-KARABAKH] A radio station 'Voice of Justice' broadcasting
in Stepanakert in the Azerbaijani lang tries to establish a 'trust bridge'
between the Karabakh conflict parties.

9677v kHz. The station is on the air since August 1997, the "actual" name
(in Azeri) is "Aedaelaen Saesi Radiosu". (Bernd Trutenau-LTU, ibid.)

BELARUS RFE/RL's Belarus Service reported that participants in an
international conference organised by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation in
Warsaw November 6th mentioned the establishment of a European radio
station that could broadcast to Belarus as one of the EU's possible
measures to influence the situation in that country. "The chance that such
a radio station will be created is very great," European Parliament Deputy
Chairman Janusz Onyszkiewicz said. He noted that the European Parliament
is not going to cooperate with the Chamber of Representatives elected in
October in what it considers to be democratically defective elections.

"We will be looking for ways to co-operate directly with Belarussian
society and support the formation of a civic society," Onyszkiewicz said.
"For example, we can do that by setting up a new Belarussian lang European
radio station, this idea enjoys a lot of support in the European
Parliament." Hans-Georg Wieck, former head of the OSCE Office in Minsk,
also backed the idea of European radio for Belarus. In addition, Wieckk
suggested that Europe should consider launching a new television channel
that would reach viewers throughout Belarus or paying Russian television
stations to air "regular opposition programmes."

4625 kHz from Numbers & Oddities #89:
>From a usually well informed source, I received interesting info about
UVB-76 (not UZB-76) a.k.a. "The Buzzer".

The exact location is 40 km North-West of Moscow, half-way between
Zelenograd and Solnechnogorsk. The facility is being operated by the army.
It is a communications hub of the General Staff of the army (Uzel Svyazi
Generalnogo Shtaba Armii). Earlier notes that state that this station
belongs to the Strategic Missile Troops are said to be incorrect.

The tx is a 15 kW "Molniya". The station is using a horizontal multi-wire
dipole ""VGDSh". The antenna farm is near the village of Lozhki.

According to my contact this channel is part of a network that transmits
coded orders to military units, civil defence objects and recruitment
centers ("Voyenkomaty"). The recruitment centers reportedly monitor UVB-76
around the clock.

UKRAINE Radio Ukraine International put in a pretty good signal on 7440
at 0100 UT Nov 29. Their newscast dealt exclusively with the current
political crisis in Ukraine. No interviews, just a woman reporter. Two
days of blockades of govtal buildings continue. A rumor that 300 military
cadets were expelled for attending a demonstration was untrue. After the
news, "Ukrainian Diary" focused on the past week in the Ukraine. There had
been thousands on the streets (especially in Kiev) starting on Sunday.

The Supreme Court revealed on Thursday it had received a petition about
the election. There were 600 international observers that had determined
that the elections did not meet international and European norms. Three of
these representatives were quoted at length. Free and fair elections are
still lacking in Ukraine. The presentation seemed to be low key in its
presentation, just factual information (though nothing really new) with no
commentary attached. (Roger Chambers-NY-USA, ODXA)
