Tuned in Radio Cairo today on 11590kHz to the 2300 UTC EE broadcast.
Strong carrier S9+5dB min. Only the music portions of the broadcast
were audible. Voice audio varied betwwen whisper and zero. Finally a
female voice was audible at about 28 minutes past the hour but that
only lasted abour 10 minutes. The only thing I can figure is that they
have no meters in the studio.


I think they read this ng. As soon as I posted that message the
modulation went up. I sent a thank you and audio went out completely..
So I posted it was out again. A minute later it was back on. You can
see my post after that.


You are full of ****. They read nothing. As I stated earlier, they've had problems
for years.

All I know is I listened to the Spanish broadcast yesterday and the
modulation was perfect.

- I was listening a bit today too - decent carrier
- and almost inaudible modulation.

BpnJ,

If they were actually interested in how they were
'getting out' with their Message to any Target Area.
All they would have to do is call-up one or two of
their Embassies in the Target Area for a Radio
Check via the Telephone of Internet.

Or may be their merely being On-the-Air is good
enough for their government to point to their
people that they are getting their Message-Out.

Many government print so-called News Papers
that few people in their own country read -if-
they are several other choices.

Then again the Carrier may simply be a strong
Homing Beacon for their Military Pilots . . . as in
even a broken clock is right twice a day ;-) ~ RHF
