All
of the summer shortwave schedules appear in the British DX Club’s Broadcasts in English publication and I
keep a copy by my radio to remind me of when to tune to some of my favourite regular
broadcasters, such as the Voice of Turkey and Voice Vietnam by following the schedules.
For those who are more adventurous it offers tantalising glimpses of ever more
exotic sounding stations. Just taking some of the 35 options that are in the
English during the 1300 to 1400 late lunchtime slot, you may be tempted to seek
out signals from Ovozi Tojik, the Voice of Tajik in Dushanbe who target the
Middle East on 7245kHz.
Or maybe Pyongyang’s latest proclamations will liven up
your lunch on 9435, 11710, 13760 and 15245kHz. Radio Tunis Chaine International’s
domestic service is on 963kHz medium wave in English for an hour while, on
Tuesdays, domestic station Radio Nikkei 1 from Tokyo offers the intriguing
prospect on 3935, 6055 and 9595kHz of “Let’s Read the Nikkei” (Japan’s stock
market) in English and Japanese.
