Hello!

Cool. Way to go, YLE! My local JOCR "AM Kobe" on 558 kHz (20 kW, only 30 km
from here) dominates that channel, but the few times they actually leave
the frequency about 2-5 a.m. Mondays I enjoy my favorite DZXL from Manila
(3000 km away), which is really amazingly loud and stable. Too bad most of
the time they just sign off but never shut the TX down. Sorry this is no DX
news, just my whining.
