I then tuned in to Vatican Radio at 1142 UTC on 31st December 2021. Vatican Radio was broadcasting on 15595 kHz in the English language.

The program consisted of Mass in English. The broadcast was coming from the 100kW Santa Maria di Galeria

The overall reception of Vatican Radio was excellent.

Unique Radio – 5035 kHz USB

Posted on by

At about 1042 UTC on 30th December 2021, I tuned in to a new station for me, Unique Radio broadcasting in English on 5035 kHz Upper Side Band (USB).

According to their Facebook page:- “Unique Radio is a Non-commercial shortwave radio station on 5035 kHz USB days/nights & sometimes 3210KHz USB occasional use at nights from Thursday through Monday Morning. Broadcast from within the Tamworth Regional council area NSW Australia.”

The overall reception of Unique Radio was fair to good. Listening to music on either USB or LSB is never great in my opinion. The signal strength was good and there was only slight fading on the signal. There were static crashes on the band.

Radio France International – 13695 kHz

Posted on by

At about 0822 UTC on Thursday the 30th December 2021, I tuned in to Radio France International broadcasting in the French language on 13695 kHz.

The broadcast was originating from their Issoudun 500 kW transmitter. West Africa was the target audience.

The overall reception of Radio France International was fair – good. The signal strength was good and there was no fading on the signal. However, there was some ‘bleed over’ from CNR13 in China on 13700 kHz.
