Santa Maria di Galeria is kind of extraterritorial from Vatican City itself,
however NASWA does count it as Vatican City.

To 'actually hear' Vatican City, one must hear the Citta del Vaticano site, on
4005, which I think is the only frequency in use these days, at various times.

BTW, Aoki shows 4005 as 10 kW.

I can hear 4005 (under heavy RTTY QRM) here at 2310.

I will 'note' that a 'web-search' for BBC Shortwave and
BBC Radio Frequencies now does produce -results-
that lead to the BBC Shortwave Frequencies.

A year or two ago that was not true. You had to dig
to find a link to them. ~ RHF

not very polite to brag about it ... This is how I look at it .

That may be my case as well - once in a great while.

Understood. I may have heard it once or twice, but right now there's
a potent RTTY or some such thing right on top of that frequency 24/7.

FWIW, I also do not have a RAI Italy QSL (Back when they still
broadcast, they never replied to my reports), so either way I'm good
with it.

This may be due to the recent events in the Middle East . Internet can
be turned off instantly, as we just witnessed .

Turn the internet off in America and see what happens! There would be

Do you remember when RAI broadcast from Sicily as well?

Not priceless, $2,000. I have spent maybe $4,000 total my whole life on
radio hobby stuff. Two years ago I had a Drake I bought with inheritance
and sold for cash. Then I had a Ten-Tec 516 while I got my feet wet in 2
way HF. Then I sold that, put in some Xmas bonus money, and got the
Elecraft, because I don't expect to be around for Cycle 25. This is my
last Solar Max and I'm not going through it without adequate equipment.
I deserve to be spoiled. I've earned it. I am not wealthy by any means.
Since I quit smoking 11 years ago I spend the $200 a month on fun
stuff, as a reward.

I mean using superstition to manipulate people; play with fire darkness.
