AUSTRIA: *ORF - Radio Osterreich International, Wien / Moosbrunn, 9820,
f/d illegible signed confirmation letter w/pic “Garden of Mirabell
Palace, Salzburg” by airmail in 12 days (via Slovenia) for report in
English & recording by e-mail (Jensen-CA)


This particular TX was during a time of technical difficulty, and all
they did was play their interval signal over and over for an hour
straight. *Made ID easy anyway ;-)


Does Austria still broadcast in English?


Yepp - two minute's worth :-D...

6155 R.OESTERREICH INT. 06:10 06:12 .234567 English 300 ND Moosbrunn

The QSL was in English, and at that time, the sked said some English.
This has changed, apparently. Now, the only English (apart from that
2 minute bit) is in their IS.
