Italy, 5965, Vatican Radio (Tentative), 0725-0800, Listening here to Radio Exterior Espana in Spanish prior to 0730. At that time however, a BBC English News relay broadcast began. There was no announcement as to it's origination or identification except it was pretty obvious it was the BBC. At 0744 English ceases. This is followed by the Italian/Vatican interval signal briefly. That is followed with a female and male in news in Italian Language. I can only catch a word here and there. At 0749 singing heard for a few minutes. The 2007 Passport has Italy scheduled on this freq a little earlier, but not the Vatican. The only solid piece of evidence to help with Identification is the Interval signal noted above. It was definitely Italy's. Signal was poor. When listening to the Italian portion of this mess, the format didn't sound religious as one would expect from the Vatican. (Chuck Bolland, November 3, 2007)
