excavation in London. I also enjoyed the interview with Sarah Willingham
concerning the 3.4 billion pounds that UK residents are wasting on their energy
bills. My reception of your broadcast was very good. Signal strength was
excellent. I am 52 years old and am employed at a hospital for spinal injured

listening on and off to shortwave radio since the late 1980’s. I am a third
grade teacher here in Cookeville, Tennessee, and I try to incorporate shortwave
into my social studies lessons. My students are always interested to see the
QSLs and other items I have received from stations around the world. I really
enjoy the programs you carry such as those from Radio Prague and Radio Slovakia,
the EU News Network, Blues Radio International, Wavescan, World of Radio and the
new program from Hobart, Australia. This morning from 1300-1345 UTC I tuned in
on 9955 kHz and listened to the EU News Network and World of Radio. Your signal
was loud and clear. The SINPO was 55545. I enjoy tuning in to your station
every day. It’s too bad that Radio Taiwan only broadcasts in Spanish on your

could be heard again. I also enjoyed listening to the mix of programs on Global
24.
