QSLs Received / Sternradio eQSL - Nov.19

« on: November 20, 2023, 1823 UTC »

Thanks for broadcast, very enjoyable - a very handsome eQSL, too!  Almost looks like you once designed album covers for the groups Boston and ELO  .

And now in German (software translator) as the emails come in that language:

Vielen Dank für die Übertragung, sehr unterhaltsam – auch ein sehr schönes eQSL! Es sieht fast so aus, als hätten Sie einmal Albumcover für die Gruppen Boston Und ELO entworfen.

Ich kann kein Deutsch, ein Softwareprogramm wurde für mich übersetzt.

Excellent reception on the Tecsun 600 with its own antenna - about 1,200 air miles from my qth. I believe my first catch from Iowa.. Correction: I have picked up WHO 1040 from Des Moines.

0005 OM "...it's 51 degrees, here on your voice of eastern Iowa - KXEL."

Shortwave Broadcast / Radio Tamazuj 21485 AM 1546 UTC 15 NOV 2023

« on: November 15, 2023, 1550 UTC »

Unid service - Asian/Arabic?  Fair reception - noise/fades/garbled. Could not find this on any database. Found a data base that listed this 90 minute daily Sudanese service broadcast.

1546 Have been listening for a while, initially 2 OM's talking maybe one interviewing another on phone, then transition music, to OM giving news headlines.  (Maybe on top of another broadcast)
1559 Off as scheduled

1538 "Shake It Up" among the many
1547 YL briefly in English "goodbye"? to  “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service “ Propellerheads
1548 Off
