[A-DX] UNIDentified in DRM

[Eike Bierwirth]

Um 1955 UTC auf 7430 mit nur einem Sender (Krasnodar) ganz brauchbar mit 
Wunschkonzert "Old School". Grad hat sich jemand die Scorpions gewünscht 
- Still loving you, davor russischer Rock und ein Bardenlied. Mit 14 
kbps kann man da einigermaßen gut zuhören, nicht so wie beim 
Telefonterror aus der Pjatnitzkaja. 20-25 dB.

Um 20.00 UTC die gute alte Mayak-IS zum DXer-Herzerweichen!

Dann Wechsel nach 7370, jetzt aus Kaliningrad/Bolshakovo, mit 
Hardrock-Version der russischen Hymne zur Moskauer Mitternacht. Slavsja 
otetschestwo... leider mit mehr Aussetzern als eben aus Krasnodar, eher 
knapp unter 20 dB, ab und zu ganz im Keller. Die Version der Hymne muss 
ich mir mal im Internetradio reinziehen (und mir dabei den 
oben-ohne-Putin mit einer Flasche Baltika beim Headbangen vorstellen... 
brrrr....) Jetzt Russendisko-Ska "Njetu internetu" ("ich hab' kein 
Internet"), da macht Kurzwelle Laune, hopa!

Mal sehen, wie es in 10 Minuten läuft, wenn beide Sender gleichzeitig 
senden.

73,
