I heard Radio Japan NHK this evening *0510-0530z
February 22,2010 on approximately 9770KHz.
The broadcast was in English,.
The broadcast * seemed to be intended for somewhere other than North
America.
The sound quality was poor ,the signal was weak and fading completely
out at times.

R. Japan has an English broadcast directed toward Africa at that time
on 9770, relayed via France (viawww.PrimeTimeShortwave.com). *This is

I am in the western piedmont of North Carolina.
The BC was fading deeply, almost totally gone at times at times, but I
did manage to catch the S/off ID.
The announcer had a North American English accent. Not what I expected
from anasian broadcaster.

Many people from Asia are very strong in English as a second language
- however, I think actual westerners at Asian and other shortwave
stations are pretty common. I was just listening to CRI Beijing
yesterday briefly for an ID, and sure enough, a woman with a proper
English accent identifies herself as being an announcer in Beijing for
CRI, and when she says her name (a proper English name) you could have
knocked me over with a feather.
