The operation of the shortwave services installed in Avlida is going on under the responsibility of the redundant employees of ERT. The latter remain active and produce their own program, as they do not accept the decision of the government to shut down ERT. They have also started legal processes to declare the closure illegal. After having been forcefully evicted from the Radio House, they now rent on their own expenses a radio studio, right across the street of the Radio House. Shortwave frequencies had for a couple of weeks relayed the radio program of “Radio Station of Macedonia” by the redundant employees of ERT3, from Thessaloniki. The official interim public radio (one single service for entire Greece) so far does not care for taking over the shortwave resources in Athens. Probably they do not have the staff to operate them, as only the necessary personnel was hired to keep the single radio service running on FM.

Shortwave Listener
I finally was able to receive part of the 9420 Khz transmission to North America. I feel so badly for the workers and for Greece. Shall I assume there is no one to issue verification cards anymore? Thank you for your blog.

I too was able to pickup the station on 9420, albiet the signal was a bit week. I feel sorry for the workers and hope things get back up and running so we can hear more of this station. I am also wondering if they are doing QSL cards or not.
QSL Cards indeed to be issues
I just got confirmation that QSL requests should be sent to ertopen
gmail.com addressed to Mr. Gavrilos Kassimatis. This is as long as the channel is fed by the service produced by the "ERT" ("Elliniki Radiofonia") redundant employees
Courage to the ERT workers!

I DX occasionally and Last evenng I had the chance of hearing its emision on SW at 7450 KHz from mediterranean Spain
And certainly the music selection was truly excelent, no commercial radio could do this.
