                       -- TEST TRANSMISSIONS FROM 02:00-03:00 UTC
                           WILL BE CONTINUED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

Recently started test transmissions on 7,125 kHz, mainly intended
for North America and other non-Western European countries, will
be continued on a slightly reduced schedule, daily from 02-03
UTC. These one-hour broadcasts will include program selections
from members of NEXUS-IBA in English (Mon-Sats). The latest
United Nations news in Russian will be heard between 02:30-03:00
UTC every Sunday. Listeners reports on all these test broadcasts
are especially welcome.



    -- UNESCO RADIO COVERS THE SITUATION IN THE FORMER YUGOSLAVIA
       WITH A SPECIAL REPORT FROM THE BESIEGED TOWN OF DUBROVNIK.

On August 30, 1992, UNESCO Radio will be on the air on
IRRS-Shortwave with a special report from Serbia Erzegovina.
Erin Faherty Mella from UNESCO Headquarters in Paris and UNESCO
Radio's reporter Naiju Naravane who visited Dubrovnik recently
will be speaking about the situation in the besieged town, and
the activities of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization in that area. The programme will be aired
at 09:30 CEST, with repeated broadcasts during the following
week(s).

UNESCO Radio reports in English to Europe are aired every last
Sunday of each month at 09:30 CEST over IRRS-Shortwave. United
Nations news broadcasted every Sunday at 09:30 CEST (excl. last
Sunday of each month) will also cover the major weekly events in
the former Yugoslavia.



                                                -- DEUTSCHE WELLE
             JOINS NEXUS-IBA TO AIR OVER OUR FM OUTLET IN MILANO.

It has been just announced that Deutsche Welle's application for
membership to NEXUS-IBA has been accepted by the NEXUS-IBA
Executive Committee. Early in September, Deutsche Welle will
begin feeding some of its English programmes to NEXUS FM relay
station in Milano, Italy. These transmissions will complement the
strong presence of the BBC World Service (one of the first
members of NEXUS-IBA) on FM, thus providing listeners in Milano
with comprehensive news reports live from the Astra and Eutelsat
satellites on FM 88.85 MHz.


       -- CURRENT AFFAIRES AND EUROPEAN NEWS REPORTS FROM GERMANY
                  WILL BE ADDED SOON TO OUR SHORTWAVE PROGRAMMING

As an additional benefit of the recently acquired membership to
NEXUS-IBA, Deutsche Welle may also use IRRS-Shortwave to relay
some of their best selections of current affaires programmes,
some of which were - until now - especially produced for North
America's public radio stations.



                                     -- SWISS RADIO INTERNATIONAL
               AIRS NEWS REPORTS ON SWITZERLAND ON IRRS-SHORTWAVE

Preceding other major broadcasters who also have similiar
productions available for re-broadcast, from the beginning of
August, and till the end of September, SRI's 'Swiss MIX' will be
on the air on IRRS-Shortwave. These experimental broadcasts are
mainly intended to test the interest of our listeners to such
items which describe the life, culture and beautiful landscape of
nearby Switzerland, and may become a regular feature in the
future. The producer, Swiss Radio International's Bob Zanotti,
talked about 'Swiss Mix' on a recent edition of 'Hello There',
the NEXUS-IBA listeners' mailbag programme.

SRI's short reports may be heard every day on 7,125 kHz,
especially during our evening broadcasts between 19:00-22:00
Central European Summer Time (23:00 on weekends).
