August Bank Holiday DX and a midweek wallpaper

MONDAY 30 AUGUST 2010 was a Bank Holiday (public holiday) in the UK, so I used the morning to listen to some of the highest frequencies on the Short Wave band and here are the results:

• 0925 UTC, 17490 kHz : China Radio International. English to Europe, Africa, Asia, Australasia via Kashi, China. 'Beijing Hour'.
• 1019 UTC, 17510 kHz : All India Radio - General Overseas Service to Asia and Australasia. Music of the SubContinent.
• 1030 UTC, 17540 kHz : China Radio International. Chinese language service.
• 1049 UTC, 17720 kHz : Radio Pakistan. Urdu / Tamil service up to 1100 UTC, followed by news in English for four minutes.

And that is what I heard on the Short Wave band.

Wallpaper of the Midweek

I have decided to publish the view of Morecambe sea front unhindered by football results. Enjoy.

Wallpapered football results of the week, August 2010

AS OPPOSED to the usual 'nice picture followed by football results' format favoured here on RFTFT, this week I (Martin Cowin, author) have decided to combine the two, which I hope you like. Firstly, the scene is Morecambe Sea Front, photograph taken May 2010, secondly, the football results are from npower League 1, matches played 27 - 28 August 2010.

The Morecambe mountain wallpaper

THE next time you visit Morecambe, Lancashire, look out for the mountain. Namely The Alps. Not quite. Wallpaper of the Week brings you an image which is part of a metal sculpture on the seafront of Morecambe, which illustrates the range of hills, fells and mountains which are visible in the distance. Do visit Morecambe and enjoy!
