Redsun RP2100 Logs
 

I just got hold of this used Redsun a few days ago, but it's an
interesting radio. Dual-conversion, very sensitive off the whip. Much
better than an S350. Here's some logs:

13810 - 1450 UTC - Overcomer Ministry, via Juelich, Germany - (EE) -
sio:242 - Brother Stair's unmistakeable voice in a frenzy of
preaching. Weak, but Stair's voice really cuts through the threshold
static. Bryant-KY- Mar 22

13720 - 1430 UTC - CRI, X'ian, China ? - (EE) - sio:232 - Man's voice
rising above threshold in English w/ CRI's English URL address, and
back below the noise. weak, but pretty clear for about a minute.
Nothing listed here at this time from China. Not in // with 13675-
Sackville, so I'm thinking a possible extension of CRI's English
program from X'ian, usually w/ 1200 UTC s/off. Mike Bryant - KY, Mar
22

12080 - 1410 UTC - R Nederland, via Madagascar - (EE) - sio:444 - YL
interviewing YL about why Western nations won't take a tougher stance
against Chinese human rights abuses in Tibet. RN ID. Good,
particularly given the transmitter site and target area - SE Asia.
