Like this would be any surprise to anyone? Anyone whos been Dxing knows what a waste they are.
Today was a GOOD day, quality wise for Radio Cairo's English Service on Shortwave at 9800khz but it still sounded like utter garbage. This worthless broadcast has been going on for DECADES. Usually transmitter modulation is like 10 percent and audio quality is OK to GOOD or transmitter modulation is pretty decent at 70-80 percent but audio quality is over modulated and distorted. The fact the music is "listenable-ish" and you can somewhat understand the speech make it a GOOD DAY in the book of Radio Cairo broadcasting standards, but still pure garbage by any normal broadcasters standards This could be a GOOD station, they often put a GIANT signal into North America but the audio quality fall incredibly far short of anything acceptable and enjoyable Here is a recording from today's 2115UTC broadcast, starting an hour long recording at 2145UTC https://goo.gl/kUW5AB _ 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.
