Saturday 22.08.09

The politically pompous Voice of Korea threw me for a loop this a.m.
when I came upon their broadcast in French. The male announcer was
actually speaking credible French and the dialog was sans the insane
communist slant and military music.. At least it sounded that way but,
then, I don't understand French. The only improvement would have been
a female announcer.

For all you young DXers out there (Are there any?) Radio Japan has an
interesting music programme called "Pop Up Japan." It's MC'd by Pack'n
Mack'n. No, this is not the same someone who showed up at a recent
Town Hall Meeting on health care. Actually, it is two YMs, one Pack
and one Mack. Every week the show features J-Pop tunes, musical
guests, unique elements of Japanese culture, and the latest Tokyo
fashions. If this is not your pint of ale, let your children give a
listen.

Reception was rather poor this morning. Many of the signals were
plagued by more noise than usual. This may have been caused by weather
conditions. In Las Vegas it is partly cloudy with the possibility of
thunderstorms. But that's OK, the temperature presently stands at a
cool 85.
