> Beste vrienden,

>

> Ik schrijf jullie om te laten weten dat ik jullie programma heb

> ontvangen in Finland op 22.11.2020 bij 13.00 – 13.30 uur lokale tijd

> op de frequentie van 918 kHz. Dit was mogelijk omdat de ionosfeer soms

> signalen terug kan reflecteren naar de aarde als een spiegel.

> Bijgesloten vinden jullie een korte opname, klik op de link en luister

> naar wat ik gehoord heb!

>

> Ik zou het fijn vinden als jullie zouden kunnen controleren of ik het

> goed heb gehoord en of dit signaal oorspronkelijk uit jullie

> toren/mast afkomstig was. Ik ben 50 jaar oud en heb deze hobby vanaf

> mijn 35e. Ik heb deze ontvangstbevestiging nu al uit 225 landen (FM:

> 45 landen). Ik wens jullie het beste en hoop dat jullie transmissie

> zelfs nog verder dan Finland te horen zal zijn!

>

> I am sorry my Dutch is not so good, so I hope you don’t mind if I

> continue my letter in English. Thank you very much for your programme.

> It was a great pleasure to listen to Radio Monique on 918 kHz here in

> Finland!

>

> I am 50 years old, married, a father of two lovely & lively kids and

> working with a marketing research company as a managing director. My

> favourite hobbies are sports and listening to foreign radio stations

> (DX-listening).

>

> I work with leading media companies in Northern Europe, including

> online media, print, tv and radio. Thus I find it extremely

> interesting to tune into foreign radio stations. Actually radio is

> both professionally and personally my most favourite media, the one I

> spend most of my time with. Radio simply reaches you everywhere, is

> very useful and is so much fun to listen to.
