No good conditions for Dxing last weeks here in Roma (today is
summertime): storms, lightnings, heavy statics, bad  waves propagation
etc.

with pleasant Oriental melody faded up and down to accommodate short
announcements by man and woman in tonal language (a good guess might be
Tibetan); into extended talk at 0003. Fair signal but boomy, muffled
speech audio. Transmitter cut off at 0009; returned about 20 seconds
later, but only an open carrier when rechecked at 0013 past 0015. Is
supposed to run till 0030*.  (Hill, USA Apr. 23)
