15400 I have only a faint signal from Meyerton, just barely sufficient for making out what this should be. And nothing at all on LW 252 kHz, it gets completely overriden by local noise. But then neither 252 nor RTE via Meyerton are exotic anyway. Btw, these RTE sports specials also used to include a DRM transmission to Europe from a UK site. Not so anymore.

The 19deg beam is not good for reception in Europe, while 340deg from KNX seems to reach Germany and the UK well.

What you heard earlier was the minors match, also between Kerry and Donegal (by coincidence). Kerry teams won both championships. Next week's special will be the All-Ireland Hurling Championship, starting at 1600 UT on Saturday [Sept 27].

-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- From: Volodya S Sent: Sunday, June 22, 2025 4:04 AM To: wor ; _ DXplorer ; Hard-Core-DX ; cidx@groups.io Subject: [HCDX] A historical question I continue to digitize my cassette collection (the oldest I've found so far dates to 1979, but there are older ones, I'm sure). Today's question: One tape is labelled 1/1996 RTE. It's in English. I don't have an older WRTH available than 2000 here at the condo. I suspect that this was via a N American relay. The date of transmission was 7 January 1996 (as per the sports reports). Was this via WWCR on 12160 at 2000? That's what is suggested in the 2000 WRTH. I do recall special broadcasts from RTE on SW relays, but not the regular programming. Thanks for the help! 73, Walt _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/
