Thank you Carlos for a beautiful reminder of the Christmas story.
This was a wonderful show.
I often listen to Radio Romania and tuned in on Christmas Eve. Thanks for sharing

I think this recording reinforces the view (certainly among some broadcasting technical experts) that reasonable quality sw reception is really only feasible in situations where there is only one hop between transmitter and receiver locations. Once the signal has to bounce between earth and ionosphere more than once, reception is spoiler by multipath distortion and poor signal strength. More power alone at the transmitter end doesn’t solve this.

Not true… how many hops do you figure there are between Radio Nacional de amazonias in Brazil on 11780 and my QTH in alaska?
listen to this then get back to me:

11780 is often very good here….. especially in spring and fall
