Radio Taiwan International - German Broadcast (via Tamsui)

 

Radio Taiwan International's special German language broadcast from their Tamsui transmitter site was received on 15 July 2022, from 17.00 to 18.00 UTC. I listened to RTI German language announcers talk about Taiwan as it related to listeners' reception reports and queries. This was followed with an interview of a German visitor to Taiwan. The broadcast closed with Taiwanese pop music "Hit Parade". All of this was observed between frequent RTI IDs and announcements about special German broadcasts from Tamsui. Reception on 11.995 kHz rated a SINPO of 35343 -- fair to good signal strength and discernible audio content despite moderate atmospheric noise and slight fading.

Reception report was emailed on the following day. A QSL card arrived in the mail on 3 August 2022.
