(2 April) MALAYSIA 5964.71 Klasik Nasional Nx in apparent Malay by W to 1110, //9835. 6049.63 was not // as John Wilkins noted also.

Nothing special over ToH, which makes sense since it would be the BoH in Myanmar. Strength and modulation wasn't too bad, but there was some Ham QRM. Will have to check this out earlier as it was fading when I tuned in. Tnx Ron Howard tip. (3 April) All for now. 73 Dave Valko ---[Start Commercial]--------------------- Order your WRTH 2011: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2011 ---[End Commercial]----------------------- ________________________________________ Hard-Core-DX mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
