    1. Thanks for the comment.

      About St.Petersburg, I know there are two separate shortwave transmitter sites there - one bigger, called Krasny Bor or Popovka and other - smaller one, which is closed now, am I right?

      About Bolshakovo, I think there are only DRM broadcasts on shortwave there and medium wave broadcasts in AM. I receive 1215kHz with a perfect signal here in Bulgaria. Are they being broadcasted from different sites, or it is a single site with MW and SW (DRM) transmitters?

      I also have verified some broadcasts, who are listed as "Moscow", but I don't know which of the four transmitter sites around the capital city... Taldom is one of the four, I think, but I'm not sure.

      Razdolnoye and Tavrichanka are two different transmitter sites within a few miles.

    1. Hello and thanks for the comment! Check fmscan.org -> AM -> single frequency and type the frequency, you're listening to, to check the transmitter site, power and other useful information like the geographical coordinates of the transmitter site, the antenna azimuth and other. It's a good website, but there is some old or inaccurate information. But it's useful for a beginner. :)
