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.

During this spoken word segment, the speaking was not just audible but also readable, meaning I could pick out the words being spoken on 9.65, despite some interference in the background from China Radio International. On 9.06 MHz, the speaking also was audible, but it was notably received more poorly than the other frequency. |

On this continually great frequency, the usual wrap-up singing to the tune of "Hush, Little Baby (Mockingbird)" came in nice and clearly before final signoff at 1659 UTC. Thanks for all of this past week's transmissions! |
