As mentioned in a previous post, this might be DW's final English Broadcast.  There is no mention of English programs on their website for the B-17 season, though there is no official announcement of canceling English transmissions.  I am definitely going to request a qsl on this broadcast.
(Upon further review, the 1700z Broadcasts in French may be the final broadcasts in that language.  Good thing there is not a growing terrorist threat in West Africa that needs to be thwarted by some air borne enlightenment - ugh!)


Both frequencies are received very well.

1600z DW ID  Worldlink segment "Anger and Despair"  by Neil King.  Stories about refugees in Pakistan from Raheem, Myanmar
1607z Report about Jews providing refuge for non-Jews.
1623z DW ID into music then what was coming up on second half of show.
1625z Occupation story.
1635z Feature by YL Broadcast Journalist.
1644z Cooking/Recipe story.
1648z Tale about shipping containers/Japanese immigrant/Oragami.
1656z DW contact info to music
1659z Off
