I listened to a program of vocal music *on 7440 Khz from 0252z until
the transmitter went off at 0300z.

A woman was speaking in badly accented Russian(??) for a moment just
before sign off.

I understand Polish (slowly) and can recognize Russian, but the
woman's language was a very stong regional accent or dialect, not what
you would expect from a Muscovite.

Does anybody have any idea of who or what I was listening to?

* *Indeed, it is actually slightly more understandable to a polish or
czech native speakers than some others in the slavic language family.

Here in California, R. Ukraine usually puts in a good signal. *On many
evenings, a decent signal from Europe, easily hitting S-9. *Only
Croatian Radio beats it, and that is relayed via Wertachtal,
Deutscheland.

Last night, however, Radio Vaticana was a steamroller - for 30 minutes
at 0250z it was "next door" on 7305 kHz, 41 meters - without doubt the
strongest reception I have ever had from their Vatican City
transmitter site. *I did not bother to try the 6040 Canada relay.

Hey Bruce, now that the Passport To World Band is history - are you
using the WRTH (or whatever it's called)? This week I'm going to pu
that book for the first time, many in here say it's even better the
PPWB - or do you use info off the net? Curious minds want to know.;-)
