[HCDX] A new name

["Johan Berglund" <johandx@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

going to town this morning I (almost) skidded into the side of the postman's 
lemon-chicken-yellow car.  He had a registered letter for me, and I signed the receipt over the hood, and he said he was grateful for not having to take a turn to my place.

It was from

1557 Radio Osijek, Croatia. Very nice data  QSL letter, signed by 
Slavko Milas, General Menager (sic). 

I had reported them last Oct 3, at 1645 and indeed - as the splendid 
EMWG says - the program was in Hungarian. 

As I'm a bit interested in demographical matters I looked up the town
of Osijek, I did not find a Hungarian name for the town, but one that is 
obviously from the Austrian-Hungarian  era - Essen. 

1557 is not a very hard catch here, most DX-ers interested in Balkan stations
have surely heard it. 

[There is one snug to this matter. In the minds of many people, and peoples of
the region, the word Balkan is pejorative. They don't like it, and for good reasons.
Would an Idaho farmer like to be called a Yankee, or gringo ? Or a very ordinary
Swede to be called Laplander ?]

73 and GOOD DX-ING

Johan Berglund, Trollhättan, Sweden
