DW in portuguese: compare shortwave and internet streaming

OK, Brazil is not the target of this Portuguese transmission of DW, actually aimed, to Africa. But sometimes I insist trying to tune it in. At weekends it’s a good probability to listen to, presenting the news, the Brazilian journalist Francis França, who studied and worked here in Florianópolis till some years ago. In the Northern Hemisphere’s Winter time I used to have a good reception of the Portuguese program through Trincomale (Sri Lanka) relay station, but in this moment the reception uses not to be good.

In this case shortwave really can’t face the dispute (if we really can say there is a competition) with the internet streaming transmission, as you can compare below.

This is a piece of the recording from the transmission in 17.610 khz, through Sines (Portugal) relay station, on June, 12, at 19:30 UTC.



And this is a piece of the podcast of the same program, downloaded from DWs Portuguese home page.
