Vatican Radio Coverage Pope's Indonesian Trip 17540 AM 1030 UTC 4 SEP 2024
« on: September 04, 2024, 1033 UTC »
Good reception with some noise/fades, English service.  Special/extended transmission of Pope's visit to Indonesia.
Broadcast also on 17555 in French (no reception) and 21710 in Portuguese (poor reception).

1030 Pope speaks (Spanish?), Italian accented OM speaking over Pope in English to translate. "Compassion....."
1037 "When John Paul II says....."
1043 Getting significantly noisier
