Re: [HCDX] Radio Station Location
Luigi,
I agree it is important to know where SW signals are really coming from. But this info is readily available, if you consult current A-10 schedules, e.g. linked from my home page, http://www.worldofradio.com
You have to understand/reference the different abbreviations used to indicate transmitter sites.
Yes, you are a bit confused --- ``Rumania via China`` is a bad example. RRI is ONE station that does not use relays abroad, and have excellent signals nonetheless thanks to new transmitters and antennas installed at two domestic sites a year and two ago. (They did have some DRM via other countries, but not currently, doing their own DRM too, what a waste.)
Voice of Korea (North) does not use external relays either (who would want to help them?), so if you hear VOK it`s bound to be direct. Should not be that difficult even in your location.
