« on: July 23, 2022, 2030 UTC »

Exact frequency is 7424.87 kHz. S9+10 with the Northwest Ireland KiwiSDR. Bad QRM from CRI on 7415 kHz and a heterodyne on 7425.00 kHz. NHK in French via Madagascar came on at 2029 UTC obliterating it.

2026 UTC-Unknown Dutch Music
2028 UTC-Talk in Dutch
2029 UTC-NHK via Madagascar now at S9+35

Based on the frequency and offset I think this is Radio Piepzender.

This is Radio Channel 292 from Germany. People can buy airtime on this station and it will air their programming. It is a legal station, not a pirate.

Heard on my Sony ICF-2010 with the internal antenna. I believe this is my first logging of Saskatchewan on mediumwave (I haven’t done a lot of MW DX in the past). Programming was mostly music with occasional identification as “Classic Hits”.

Yesterday I got my Sony ICF-2010 repaired (finally!) I could hear CFRX with understandable audio last night. With my previous radio I could only ever get a carrier and faint audio.
