Hi Derek, BEL2 is the official name for the 100 kw 738 kHz station in Penghu, Taiwan. You may remember the buzzing signal it had this time last year, as in this recording using a 3' bedside loop last September: _http://www.mediafire.com/?njno91gntme_ (http://www.mediafire.com/?njno91gntme) For some bizarre reason this station seems to come in very well at this modest DXing location (in comparison to what the other TP-DXers reported last year). Around October it is often the strongest TP on the band here. 73, Gary In a message dated 9/1/2010 12:42:36 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, eargaz...@aol.com writes:
