Note that some languages seem to be missing (there should be 4 for each txion), but frequencies tend to repeat within certain timeframes, do you can fill in those gaps & check if they'll be active indeed. #shortwave #WorldYouthDays #WYD2023 #VaticanRadio

With the sad news that just broke, and, to be honest, I feared would happen right at #NewYearsEve - and it did - these specials by #VaticanRadio on #shortwave will be more special than anyone thought... perhaps even altered?
