    1. You can post it, we will test it today and tomorrow. Yesterday it was very good…..

      Program:
      8.00 UTC / 12.00 UTC
      15.00 UTC / 19.00 UTC

  2. Hallo, Aart! Ich bin seit Beginn der heutigen Sendung dabei und teste den Empfang mit meinen Geräten auf dieser Frequenz. Einen SINPO-Rapport habe ich Euch geschickt. Gute Idee, eine neue Frequenz zu testen. Viel Erfolg! Ich bleibe heute wieder dabei. Vy 73 + gd dx, Horst vom Niederrhein

  3. Since 823 UTC the bands opens and the reception is very good and stable – no QRM and lessfading. The 9800 kHz sieems to be a little better since the 6170 kHz. There are sometímes many fading and QRM on the 49 mBand. My vote is clear for the 9800 kHz. We will see how the recepetion is on the afternoon because of the China stations… Radio Delta is on a good way for the future on shortwave… Many thanks. 73 from Hamburg, Dieter

  4. Listening on a HF225 Lowe receiver with 15 metre long wire in Watford, Hertfordshire, England. Signal good 444 with some fading. 10.30am UTC Abraham Cadabra Steve Miller band. I would love a QSL Card. Many thanks

  5. Hello, according to my reception observations, the 9800 kHz is better than the 6170 kHz. Unfortunately, there is a lot of garbage on the 49 m band, which makes reception after 10 UTC hardly any fun. There is occasional fading on 9800 kHz, but the signal has more consistency into the afternoon. Radio Delta already has a good instinct and a lot of experience in implementation, which is shown by the good modulation and sound quality.
    We will continue to be excited because Radio Delta is only happy when the listener is and that is what sets this radio station and the team apart.

    73, Dieter
