It is NOT required to send any return postage for a QSL-card from the
Rhein-Main Radio Club for the broadcasts on 09. October 2010. A valid
reception report and the name and address of the SWL are sufficient. It is
also possible to send a report and receive a QSL by E-mail.
The Sitkunai-Lithuania transmitter broadcasts with "AM"-modulation.
The RMRC hopes that these broadcasts can be heard all over the world.

9770 RMRC broadcast at 9.10.2010, 1530-1630 via Sitkunai site, 259
degrees lobe into Western Europe.
Wonderful strong signal of S=9+35dB, here in Stuttgart, Germany, centered
in the main lobe of the 259 degrees outlet from Lithuania, no QRM.
China co-channel now heard at 1633 UT after Sitkunai ceased transmission,
but CRI Hakka bcast weak in 212 degrees from Urumchi site, in direction of
Bombay, Maledives/Seychelles, Madagascar and Eastern South Africa.
... and three seconds bargain of HCJB's German feed too, bcast on 9770 kHz
instead of scheduled 5940 kHz from 1630 UT regularly.
Same excellent transmission signals from Sitkunai heard already 40 years
ago on USSR era. But not that happening content ... :-)
[later] 6130 TCI-California antenna beamed in direction of 310 degrees
serves a powerful signal in target zones 4,7,8,9,10,11 in North America.
6130 here in Stuttgart only co-channel CNR Lhasa Tibet in English (!) with
typical Chinese dance music, S=9+10dB, 2230 UT Oct 9.
From 2234 UT onwards heard the St. Helena Happening broadcast TINY
UNDERNEATH.
In an angle difference of 51 degress ... to main lobe via TCI 8-dipol
beast at 310 degrees.
Danke RMRC und Harald fuers Ereignis. 73 wb

9770 kHz RMRC St. Helena special.
In Freising hab ich die zweiten Haelfte der Sendung mit dem Tecsun PL-380
am Kuechentisch gehoert. SINPO 55544, auch bei 6 kHz Bandbreite kein QRM.
Ein Synchrondetektor haette aus dem P=4 ein O=5 gemacht. Um 1630 UTC kurze
deutsche ID von HCJB, dann Stecker gezogen. Danach leise asiatische
Klaenge auf der Frequenz.

The special broadcast on 9770 kHz at 1530-1630 UT also well heard with
some buzz in the audio at my location in NW England. There was an
announcement from an HCJB German broadcast at the end of transmission!
Signal strength 20dB+ over 9 with co-ch QRM during at least the last half
hour, so probably CRI Urumchi in Hakka. Heard at fair strength when
Sitkunai left the frequency.
