After WBZ ID's you can hear "WONQ Oviedo" ID, then Haitian music mixing
fairly evenly with WBZ's news.
Thanks to everyone who reported this on the various lists.

I am getting WBZ clear as day, nice steady clean signal... nothing over or

Have you tried those ferrite doughnuts you clamp around any cables coming into

Hello All,
There must have been some happy DXers this morning as Asian signals improved
quite a bit, with a generous sunrise enhancement that continued until 1450
here. The NHK big guns on 594, 693, 747, 774 and 828 were all very strong at
times during the 1300-1450 listening session,
To me it sounded surprisingly more Parisian than Creole. That was my first
impression when I heard the "Radio Diffusion" bit. Okay. Maybe I'm
exaggerating. But a rather light Creole accent; I don't know what French sounds
