I will be interviewed on air by The South African Radio League's
(SARL) ARMI amateur radio mirror international on Sunday July 5th at
0800UTC/zulu.

See http://www.amateurradio.org.za/armi.htm
Best frequency is the Sentech Meyerton 50 Kw transmitter on 7205 kHz

This should easily be picked up in Europe, but may be more of a
challenge for my American friends when the broadcast is in the wee
hours of the morning and the signal may not propagate.

John Plimmer, Montagu, Western Cape Province, South Africa
South 33 d 47 m 32 s, East 20 d 07 m 32 s
Icom IC-7700, Icom IC-756 PRO III with MW mods
ERGO software
Drake SW8. Sangean 803A
Sony 7600D, GE SRIII, Redsun RP2100
Antenna's RF Systems DX 1 Pro Mk II, Datong AD-270
Kiwa MW Loop.

They asked me how I got into DXing and what had kept me at it for so
many years (43). And how was I finding DX on the shortwave bands now.

What did you say???

Hi Burr,
I can't condense a twenty minute talk into a few lines, so try and
listen. It may be possible for you to get the broadcast on Monday at
1905z on 3215 kHz. Or they have a "Listen on the web link" on their
webpage
http://www.amateurradio.org.za/armi.htm but it only appears actually
when it is on air.

If all that fails the talk really has content along the lines of my
profile at
http://www.dxing.info/about/dxers/plimmer.dx
regards

JP

Last night at around 11:30 PM, just before I took doggy out in the front
yard and the Golden Girls tipped that Airplane over, I clicked on the
site John Plimmer provided and I read an interview.

Married ... With Children is on the SPIKE channel now.

Thanks for trying fellas - all is not lost as I see on their website
they have loaded an MP3 of the program - click on 5JULY to get it
running and then fast forward to 39 minutes 30 seconds you will hear
the presenter Hans van der Groenendal interviewing me.
