TV DX Moldova 1 Analogue TV 77.25 MHz C75 From Malta [E-Skip]

TV DX Moldova 1 Analogue TV 77.25 MHz C75 From Malta [E-Skip]. It was caught on 10/06/2021 at around 19:25 PM (UTC+2). It is a very weak E-Skip catch of Moldova 1 which is the first one for the season. Beam must have been very far away unless enhanced by tropo by SpE. In the beginning, it shows the 'Moldova In Direct' logo which makes it the channel itself. In 2021, it is very rare to encounter Analogue TV on VHF Band I because of the digital transition. It is caught from Straseni in Moldova with an unconfirmed power of 910 kW according to FMScan, which its TX is unknown and approximately 1,710 kilometres away. 73 😊
EDIT 1 - 20/06/2021 10:50 (UTC+2) - Thanks to Danut BE for the clarification of the TX power of Moldova 1. 73 😊
Channel ID: Moldova 1

Moldova was the last country I received via analogue TV image when DXing in the E Skip season some years ago. Since then all I've had is TV audio from Moldova, Russia & maybe Ukraine. Thanks for keeping this one & 73.

Hello John, thanks for your comment :) Same here, this was my last SpE catch as I do not remember catching anything beyond 2022, although I may be lucky to get something off Eastern Ukraine but it is the maximum distance I can get via Es. Cheers buddy nice Sunday 73!

Hi Kosmin, nice to see you back ;) Yes and even if it is weak, it is nice to have caught Moldova 1 :) Hope to catch it better next time before the season ends. Cheers my friend 73!

The power of the TX is actually 91 kW And it is from Strășeni village in Moldova, it isn't far from the capital of Chișinău Tip: Make sure that the exact freq is 77 MHz and set it on SECAM

Hi Danut, thanks for the confirmation and clarification :) At first sight, did not know that I caught Moldova 1, up until had been ID'ed from your end of the 'Moldova In Direct' logo :) Cheers 73!

[@DxJordanPalestine]

Fantastic capture

[@ParamDxer]

Many thanks for your feedback my friend :) Cheers 73!

Hi my friend, great to see your catch from the past there!! This would have been a very strange awareness so many years after analogue closedowns everywhere? So the Moldavian people served by this TX are not hurrying to go digital. I sure hope you will get it again as I read the chances are good it will stay some more years?

[@ParamDxer]

Hi buddy, many thanks for your feedback :) Hope to catch Moldova 1 again during this season as the past days, SpE activity is a bit low compared to last weeks and before. Hope that Moldova 1 continues to stay on VHF Band I as well ;) Cheers 73!

Analog TV is gone in Moldova

[@ParamDxer]

Sad to hear that the switch off was earlier this week :/

[@kosmin4386]

I saw that yu catched Moldova for the 2nd time ! When are you gonna upload it ? 🤔

[@ParamDxer]

Hi Kosmin, yes I had another catch but it was very weak and only parts of it I managed to compile. Not too much long. Cheers 73!

[@Pepek94]

Moldova will switch off analogue TV because analogue TV has no future.

[@jiafeitiktokproducts3773]

Yes, there's a point that the signal will be cured (That's maybe in 2025) Yet, they do have DVB-T2 but few people made the switchover, and there was many deadlines, but all of those has been canceled, so the majority will stay on the vintage analogue, but there will be a moment when it will be gone forever

[@ParamDxer]

Hi my friend, Moldova began its transition but at certain villages, Analogue TV is the most preferred, but a day might come that it is switched off :( Glad to get it before it switches off like the rest of channels that were on VHF Band I. Cheers 73!
