I listened to a program of vocal music on 7440 Khz from 0252z until
the transmitter went off at 0300z.

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?

It wasn't a Radio Rossii or some other regional outlet, was it?

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.

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
