    To allow you to listen to the Algerian third programme? although you

    Or maybe they#re just saving gas.


    There's a strong carrier with faint modulation on 252 here in the near
    of Stranraer.

    It's back on again at normal strength here so maybe just scheduled
    maintenance? Maybe RTE publish this somewhere on their website.

    Yes - it was on yesterday, and it's on now (so don't know when it was
    off). BTW, hasn't the Algerian station gone QRT? I'm sure it did some
    time ago.

    There was definitely a French speaking station on there this morning
    when RTE was off.

    Radio Algeria does seem to have been off for a while. This site says "Reactivated in May 2022".

    I'll check again tomorrow.

    Well, this morning there might be SOMETHING there under RTE, but it's
    very weak indeed. Unfortunately, my portable Eton portable radio has
    lots of birdies on various frequencies, and there a weak one of about
    1kHz on RTE (and its pitch changes as you change the tuning in the 1kHz
    steps). However, if Radio Algeria IS there, it's nowhere as strong as it
    used to be.
