Well, this would have been the week to really listen to Radio Cairo,
BUT NO! 7115, 11855 and 12050 all are down, thank you very much Mr.
Sun.
I really do like Radio Cairo, btw, the music is fantastic, you almost
can feel the desert.

Yes... Radio Cairo is great but I got tired of the poor audio that made it
nearly impossible (for me) to listen to---have they improved?

I'd have no idea. I tried this week too, but they got
hammered by conditions.

No, the mad hum and distorted audio were still there the last time I
checked :-)

This has been going on for at least 20-years. You would think they'd
have figured it out by now.

It actually sounded intelligible last night. I still
love their "newsdesk", which is the same guy reading
a few headlines.

I have recordings of my letters being read over RC from back in the 80's and
they sounded just fine on my R-390. Later on their audio just became
unbearable.

I was in Cairo in the early 90's on official business, I just did not have
the opportunity to dash about visiting---I didn't even give a listen to them
on my portable or station equipment.

I tried to rally interest among technical capable individuals to make a
goodwill visit and maybe make a few changes to improve RC audio---no takers.
I posted comments to various newsgroups about RC and their problems hoping
the word would get back to responsible individuals---I thought it worked...
I tried to emphasize that RC was an important source of information of
mid-east affairs. I even tried a post to this newsgroup to get SWL's to
write the Egyptian embassy in Washington hoping their pleas might make a
difference---I don't think anyone wrote. Besides, every so often when their
signals sound particularly good, I would write a letter complementing their
engineering stafff for their improvements their broadcasts.

Having been to Egypt I can understand why their signals are the way they
are...

It just so disappointing, RC staff puts on good programming and their
signals have been consistently strong (here) yet there signals are
unreadable because of bad audio.

As I said in a post years back, SWL's are complaining about SW broadcasters
leaving the air, yet, without adequate feedback from SWL's RC might be the
next station to go.

Does anyone have any idea why their audio sounds so horrible? Even
Vietnam, Thailand and many Asian countries sound much better than
Cairo Egypt does.

This is really strange. :-) I like their music though.

They've sounded like that ever since I can remember. Obviously they just don't
care, even though they've certainly been informed of the problem for many years.

I suggest you contact them and try to impart some 'knowledge'.
