[HCDX] Radio Nikkei on 9595 kHz

["Jouko Huuskonen" <jouko.huuskonen@xxxxxxxxxx>]

JOZ3 Radio Nikkei was heard today Valentine´s Day February 14 on 9595 kHz only ten minutes from 1150 UTC till the powerful sign on of CRI Beijing via Shijiazhuang in Russian at 12 UTC. Signal strength for Radio Nikkei was S5-7 and overall merit of reception 2-3. I tried three other Nikkei frequencies. On 6055 kHz there was an Arabic speaking station, most propably Radio Kuwait. The 75 meter band does not propagate at this time of the day or maybe not even the season.

BTW, it was very boring to listen to Nikkei stock exchange news in Japanese while having Japanese takeaway lunch!
