I first heard about the Chilean earthquake last year on Vatican Radio,
from the Vatican.

I suspect I heard it on the BBC or saw it on a Chyron somewhere. The
Vatican gives me the creeps. They are very dark.

...but they gave me a Santa Maria Galliera QSL for that report :-)

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.- Hide quoted text -

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

RAI was pretty strong in 2002...but they were not paying attention to
reports any more, either by snail mail or e-mail.

Looks like DW had the "Cyclops" relay there until 1996 -
