GERMANY [and non] AWR to take German off shortwave.
AWR will cancel its German shortwave transmission on May 25. At present it's 1600-1630 (UTC) via Moosbrunn on 6015 kHz, and in fact this is a fragment of a round-the-clock satellite program now, just like TWR German on shortwave which to myknowledge is merely a relay of Evangeliums-Rundfunk as heard on satellite, also available via our local cable net here because some interested people put continuous pressure on the mom & pop company running the system. Not that any of these gentlemen would be interested in shortwave or 1539reception, I guess they not even know that such things exist at all.
Noteworthy also this statement in a FAQ on the AWR German website, thothey would certainly no longer put it up there anymore, since they have apparently done with shortwave now:"Is it worth to purchase a shortwave radio? Yes, if reception via satellite, Internet or cable will be not possible for you in the short or medium term. Beyond that it is impossible at present to say anything about further developments and changes in the field of classical shortwave transmissions."http://www.hopechannel.de/hope-channel/faq/empfang-mit-radiogeraet/#c47
