Radio WDR 5800 AM 0610 UTC 27 APR 2025
« on: April 27, 2025, 0720 UTC »
Good morning. From 06.00 to 06.23, I picked up probably the supposed Radio WDR on the frequency 5800 KHz with a signal strengh of 7 dB sometimes less, with
a S.I.N.P.O. of 45434. This indoor reception was noisy maybe the radiostation had reduced its radiated power ? Good D.X. from B.L.

Good morning again. This supposed radio WDR broadcasted at 06:22 "Material world" followed by "Follow me" by Amanda LEAR (1978) one minute later. Without any I.D. I can't say nothing else. B.L.
