WORLD : Jamming of Radio Free Europe Ends
MUNICH, West Germany — Bulgaria has stopped jamming broadcasts by Radio Free Europe, the last Soviet Bloc country to do so, a spokesman for the U.S. government-financed station said today.
Spokesman Bob Redlich said the jamming was halted on Christmas Day. The programs had been scrambled by Bulgarian authorities since the station began broadcasting to Eastern Europe in the early 1950s, Redlich said. Czechoslovakia suspended its jamming of Radio Free Europe 10 days ago and Poland in early 1987. Jamming in Hungary and Romania stopped a few years ago.
