KBC on shortwave

KBC Radio via Sitkunai, Lithuanua, on 1386 kHz is heard every Saturday 2200-2300 UT with a musical program announced in English.

The manager Tom de Wit says that as from next week KBC will be on both 1386 kHz and new 6255 kHz.

Tom does not state the location for 6255 kHz but it is most likely also Sitkunai, since their transmitter is used for VOIRI (Iran) transmissions on nearby 6250 kHz (and also 6255) a little earlier in the evening.

Address: KBC, Argonstraat 6, 6718 WT Ede, Holland.
E-mail addresses: kbc @ wxs.nl (seems to be the most reliable) and info @ k-po.com

(Ullmar Qvick in Norrköping, Sweden, Jan 21, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Item does not say but I assume 6255 will run in parallel with 1386 at 2200 on Saturday.
