KYRGYSTAN 4050.03 presumed KTR-Bishkek, at 2245-2305+ on Jan 30, poor- fair with weak audio, sounds like RS bard mx, 3 or 4 pips top-of the hour a couple of secs. late, QRMed top-of the hour routine, Female talk after. Not // R. Rossii web feed. 4009.97 kHz noted up at 2308 check, wasn't there prior to 2300 UTC, woman talking with even lower modulation level than 4050.(David E. Crawford-FL-USA, DXplorer Feb 18)

Please note that this is not a tx of "KTR" (Kyrgyz National Radio). It's a transmission of the Ministry of Communications (which owns all txs in Kyrgyzstan) and it is now leased by Radio Rossii from Russia. It carries a time shifted edition of Radio Rossii, that is why it is not // to the (European) webstream of RR. (Bernd Trutenau-LTU, DXplorer Feb 19)
