Luigi, I agree it is important to know where SW signals are really coming from. But this info is readily available, if you consult current A-10 schedules, e.g. linked from my home page, http://www.worldofradio.com You have to understand/reference the different abbreviations used to indicate transmitter sites.
Yes, you are a bit confused --- ``Rumania via China`` is a bad example. RRI is ONE station that does not use relays abroad, and have excellent signals nonetheless thanks to new transmitters and antennas installed at two domestic sites a year and two ago. (They did have some DRM via other countries, but not currently, doing their own DRM too, what a waste.) Voice of Korea (North) does not use external relays either (who would want to help them?), so if you hear VOK it`s bound to be direct. Should not be that difficult even in your location. 73, Glenn Hauser, OK --- On Sat, 4/10/10, Hector (Luigi) Perez <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Hector (Luigi) Perez <[email protected]> > Subject: [HCDX] Radio Station Location > To: [email protected] > Date: Saturday, April 10, 2010, 9:16 AM > > > > > RADIO STATION > LOCATION A FRIENDLY DILEMMA > > > > For a long time, I have had in > my mind this friendly dilemma: where is the real location > of the station I am > listening at? > > > > My shack is this “small > sanctuary” where I sit at home without been disturbed by > no other thing than a > good radio program. > > > > I have many radios at my > shack; some very old but in mint condition, some other, > modern ones. > > > > I also have a good number of > special stations that I tune to for the quality of their > programs.
