Santa Maria di Galeria is kind of extraterritorial from Vatican City itself,
however NASWA does count it as Vatican City.


To 'actually hear' Vatican City, one must hear the Citta del Vaticano site, on
4005, which I think is the only frequency in use these days, at various times.

FWIW, I also do not have a RAI Italy QSL (Back when they still
broadcast, they never replied to my reports), so either way I'm good
with it.


Do you remember when RAI broadcast from Sicily as well?- Hide quoted text -

I've been using SW for about 40 years; but I don't recall TX location
details of European stations very well from that time, except who was
in business. Sicily would be fun, as would Malta and Corsica.

You can turn old, or new, Microwave ovens into Weapons.I once saw a
website how to do that.

Do you remember the Amana Radar Range? In World War Two in England, some
Americans were setting up a Radar.They had it set on too much power, or
aimed too low/whatever.The nails in that old wooden Aircraft hanger
started getting hot and popping.

My 43 foot fiberglass telescoping mast has RF friendly hardware, in case
I decide to put more than 4 Watts into the #12 solid copper wire up the
middle.

Didn't Malta have a BBC relay station ? RAI always had a weak signal
as compared to the rest of European powerhouses .
