Vatican Special Broadcast
« on: January 12, 2014, 1012 UTC »
ON NOW:
21740   VATICAN. VR - site unknown. Special Mass with Baptisms, led by Pope Francis and first noted at 0930, in Italian with English commentary. Also noted on 21760 with Portuguese commentary, and 17830 with French commentary! All aimed towards Africa, although 21760 appeared to be slightly better than 21740 which leads me to believe that there might have been different sites involved in the transmission….not sure though. Still on at 1010 UTC.  Jan 12.

Small correction:  LATIN Mass, of course, not Italian!   :)

The service concluded at 1015 and then followed classical music till 1024. At 1025, 21760 kHz was the first to leave, then 17830 went off a minute later, while mysteriously 21740 carried on till 1030 with dialogue in Italian between two announcers until that txer was also switched off.

That's pretty cool. Did you happen to get a recording?

Unfortunately, no. I wasn't setup for that on this occasion.  :(
