Ultralight DX Challenge: dia 10 / day 10 (03.12.2020)

Uma noite com uma grande surpresa: a China nos 1377 kHz. Presumo tratar-se da  Xizang RGD Hanyu; não consegui aceder ao "stream" online, mas o sotaque era muito semelhante ao mandarim chinês.

English abstract:

A nice surprise: China on 1377 kHz. I presume it was Xizang RGD Hanyu, although I couldn't check the Web stream. However, the language and the accent was definitively asiatic and very similar to Chinese mandarin.

Bandscan na Onda Média com o XHDATA D-808 / Medium wave bandscan using the XHDATA D-808

Porque importa distinguir o que se sintoniza na Onda Média durante o período diurno do que se escuta durante a noite, publiquei no MWLIST um "bandscan" realizado no meu QTH habitual para o desafio do Ultralight DX, utilizando o meu XHDATA D-808.
