Fetters-Walp, Eric

On this last day of this series of broadcasts, reception of today's program was much better than the past few days. I'm sure using higher frequencies during local daytime hours helped much, as both 9.45 and 9.56 MHz carried good signals. That second frequency, 9.56 MHz, however, was subject to interference from China Radio International. All three of the attached mp3 audio files were recorded from the 9.45 MHz frequency; note that I record audio by placing my cellphone by the radio speaker, so there is some degradation of the sound quality.
