The SWL QSL Museum Bugaria Europe Radio Varna - 9800 Khz - 2003 - Station Overview    QSL Contributed by Hashimoto Kenji (Japan) The station utilized a powerful 100-kW transmitter based directly in Varna, Bulgaria. Unlike full-time international broadcasters, Radio Varna’s shortwave signal was primarily on the air only on weekends (specifically targeted around Sunday nights into Monday mornings UTC) This brief era of shortwave broadcasting allowed the local Bulgarian Black Sea coastal station to cross borders.
