Tag: Yle Radio Yksi

QSL YleX Posio/Susivaara 91.5 MHz

In addition to Yle Radio Yksi I also received another staton from Finland: YleX on 91.5, 91.9 and 93.2 MHz. My report was confirmed by Tekninen neuvonta department but also by Hanne Kautto, programme manager of YleX.

It is so nice that the head of a broadcaster still recognizes the avid listener via the airwaves. In my view it is still important to ensure that people are interested in the technology behind the broadcast. A big thank you to Hanne and her team!

I listened to a mixed music/news program and I picked up the word “Grill” in the oh so difficult Finnish language in the second clip below. It turned out that the news was about an elderly couple using a grill at a balcony and the whole apartment building burned down. The first clip is not the best quality, but I included it as i think you hear the ID YleX in it, just before the song “Maailma on mun” by Minttu starts:

(Jari Lehtinen confirmed this, and thanks to him I finally spelled the Radio Yksi station name correctly. Apparently this letter combination apparently triggers my dyslexia).

QSL Yle Radio Yksi 88.2 MHz

May 24th was one of the first days of Sporadic E propagation this season, and it featured a nice opening to Finland. A country that I had not received on the FM band yet. I heard both Yle Radio Yksi and YleX on a couple of frequencies.

Yle Radio Yksi is Yle Radio 1 (Yksi is 1 in Finnish). My report to yleinfo(at)yle.fi on my reception of Radio Yksi on 88.2 MHz was confirmed by the Tekninen neuvonta department:

All DX colleagues reported the 88.2 MHz reception as originating from the 60 kW transmitter in Lapua. The other transmitter on this frequency is situated in Rovaniemi with 30 kW. One is more in the general direction of the opening, the other one is more in line with SpE propagation distance. I don’t know how to distinguish these two, but if you know how, just let me know in the comments.

I listened to a program discussing Finnish politics:
