The Luftwaffe pilot who had to listen to the voice of Radio Maryja

During a routine flight, the pilot of a Luftwaffe fighter plane, instead of hearing the flight controller's voice, heard the sound of Radio Maryja, a devout Polish Catholic station. The German air force asked the Polish Defense Ministry for an explanation. It turned out that the signal was not emitted from Poland but from Russia. Radio Maryja, two years ago, signed an agreement with the Russian Television and Radio Network to use their shortwave transmitters, which it now seems are transmitting on more frequencies then they first thought! Both the Russian network and Radio Maryja did not want to comment on the incident. Radio Maryja uses different partners across the world to rebroadcast their station. (Gazeta Wyborcza pp.1, 2) A.L.
