Some of you may have seen my posts about Radio Cairo's english service in the last week or so.
I heard them on August 23rd at 2030UTc on 9895khz. Modulation was still pretty low, around 30-35 percent but audio quality was fairly good. Here's my recording: https://app.box.com/s/oh3b3kfiof3nqpag40o3e15xzw6e0v5j Well, on August 25th, I'd heard Radio Cairo English at 2230UTC on 9800kHz and regarded that as the best I'd ever heard Cairo in English. audio quality was pretty good, modulation still a bit low, around 40-45 percent but programming was overall pretty understandable. Here's my recording: https://app.box.com/s/tbdzc94e8t1col5cdt3jxqx3vu7jl8tv Well, hold onto your hats because Cairo gets even better, sorta kinda maybe. On August 27, I once heard the english service on 9800kHz. The usual hum was there but this time they were modulating about 60-70 percent however the audio source material sounded like it was recorded way too hot.... however this was still pretty understandable. Voice was a bit distorted, but Music was ok. Here's my recording: https://app.box.com/s/0n7htyi84fpazkmoe8khxkvjjg3mxvm4 I am not hopeful this quality will last and get better because over two decades of history proves otherwise _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
