 Hi from Trollhättan, Sweden, where the rx was steamed up for 
the first time in months 
1170 Sep 7 2035   Radio Minsk had a DX-px in German 
at this time, Sat night. Said they had a fine 
                           special 
QSL-card for this. (I thought I had gone more bananas than 
usual when 
                           I 
stumbled on this px, hearing old ids of Radio Schweden and 
Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk 
                           here 
plus one Colombian, Caracol I think.) But frankly speaking R Minsk itself 
seemed  
                           
to be a bit of a DX station as it was only S7 on the K9AY direction east, 
so I really 
                           
doubt they are using a megawatt tx. Other stations on the frequency were 
heard better, 
                           
such as Radio Capodistria and a UK one, serving "..Staffordshire and Cheshire" 
so most 
                           
probably Big AM, Stoke-on-Trent. The latter one has 200 
watts.....    
1278 Sep 7 2005   "Vous écoutez France Blue Alsace" 
, easy listening with old goodies. So this one  
                            
has escaped, with thanks, the changes on AM in France. 
1314 Sep 7 1945   BBC WS with EE/Arabic px must 
be Al Dhubbaya, UAE.  NRK off ?! 
1593 Sep 7 1800   Radio Neumarkt, px in German from 
Targu Mures, Romania. A couple of very  
                           
good ids, songs and features in German but heavy competition from R 
Romania 
                           Cultural  
and  R Cluj,  also on the qrg.
