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. Bruce Jensen- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - 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.;-) Gregg, I have had copies of both in the past, and for what I did, PPWBR was the better book. *WRTVH was and is tremendously useful, however, with a different format (stations are listed by nation rather by frequency). *The EIBI and Aoki schedules, plus Prime Time Shortwave on the internet are perfectly good subs for PPWBR in that ascending freq format, but as far as I know, only WRTVH compiles all of the radio station mailing addresses in one place. *I cannot recall if they have transmitter site addresses too - PPWBR did, and for die-hard QSL collectors, that was worthwhile. I do not have the 2010 WRTVH - I think I will get one soon. How about you? Bruce- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - No doubt I'll get one. :-) |
