Signals were booming in at my ordinary stereo set (with AM) in southern Sweden. Should surprise no-one, as they used 1200 kW from just across the Baltics... Still, it would be nice if the Russians could get some nice AM broadcasts a la good ol' Luxembourg. The AM sound from Kalinigrad is a lot better than on old 1440 kHz. For your info, part of the email QSL: = = = = = DATE: August 12, 1997 TIME: 2010-2245 UTC FREQUENCY: 1386 kHz We used a half power of 1200 kW on 12/8 and a full power of 2400 kW on 13-14/8 with a directional aerial system beamed to the U.K. and Ireland. There were the transmitter's problems on 13/8 at around 2000-2030 UTC when the transmitter's valve went out of use... Yours sincerely, Mikhail Timofeyev (nerrs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) = = = = = Meaning that this past week I have got two QSL's in more modern format. One email, and the other by fax from Malawi Broadcasting Corporation, on 3380 kHz. I did send the reception report by ordinary mail, including my business card. Made the difference, as I got a QSL after many tries. /Hermod Pedersen Nordic Shortwave Center <http://swl.sds.se/> Hi Hermod I am almost sure you will get the original copy of the Malawi Broadcasting Corporation QSL letter also via regular air mail in the next days. This is the way they usually confirm reception reports if they know the fax number of the DXer. This happened to me just 1 year ago. 73's Giovanni D'Amico Switzerland pennant swap site: http://www.srg-ssr.ch/PRV
