Belgrade, broadcasting in the Yugoslav Home Service in Serb-Croat on 8 March
at 2100 GMT, transmitted the following text:
"Belgrade -- As is known, at the International Conference in
Copenhagen of September 1948, a new European convention on Radio
Broadcasting and a new plan on redistribution of wave lengths
were adopted. As from 15 March, all medium and shorty wave stations in Europe will change their wave lengths. In connection with
this change, as from 15 March 1950, nearly all radio stations in
Yugoslavia will change their wave lengths. The new distribution
of wave lengths among the European radio stations has been made
with the aim of eliminating numerous disturbances v:h Ich made it
difficult for listening to nearly all radio stations and especially
of those on medium waves. Our radio stations, tt)o, especially in
the evening, have been subject to disturbances caused by various
foreign radio stations. The Federal Radio Station Belgrade will
change its wave lengths from 437.3 to 439 meters so that it will
remain nearly on the same place on (receiving) sets. Besides the
Federal Station of Radio Belgrade, the Federal Station Belgrade I
will broadcast as from 15 March on wave lengths 212.41meters.
This station will broadcast transmissions in our own nd foreign
languages. Of other radio stations in Yugoslavia, only the Radio
Station of the Peoples Republic of Servia, Radio Belgrade II, will
retain its present wave length. Accordingly, as from 15 March 1950,
our radio .tation will broadcast on the following wav lengths:
Federal Station of Radio Belgrade 439 meter
Federal Station of Radio Belgrade I 212.4 meters
Peoples Republic of Serbia,
Station Belgrade II 236.6 meters
Radio Zagreb 264.7'meters
Radio Ljubljana 3271 meters
Radio Skoplje 370.8 meters
Radio Titograd 340.5 meters
Radio Sarajevo 490.9 meters
IV-?i Sad, Pristina, Rijeka and Maribor will broadcast on the wave
length of 202.1 meters; other provincial stations will broadcast
also on this same wave length, some of them only duri g the day.
