What do you think would be the cheapest option ? Repair the Sanyo MCD-S830 tape recorder or put a much narrower filter in the other more new Sanyo receiver that we buyed today from an used radio shop ? Good night, Bogdan - Original Message - From: aurel chiochiu To: [EMAIL

Hi, I don't know where you're located (USA?) but 4845 is a Radio Mauritanie frequency. Ramadan has already begun, and the Arabic-speaking stations usually have extended broadcasting hours during Ramadan. If you're on the East Coast of the US, 5pm would have been, very roughly, an hour and a half
