Radio Canada International back on shortwave via Radio 700

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Richard Langley, who shares the following message:

Only a barely-detectable carrier [of Radio Canada International] on 7310 kHz from Radio 700 Kurzwellendienst (or Radio 700 Shortwave Service using the web-interfaced University of Twente SDR receiver at 15:00 UTC. However, the online streaming of Radio 700's 7310 kHz transmission came through clearly and, indeed, an RCI program is being transmitted. In fact, it's this week's "The LINK Online"!

So, finally, RCI is back on shortwave. Too bad the signal for the English program isn't stronger. I was waiting for the scheduled start of the French RCI program at 14:30 UTC on 6005 kHz but when I tuned in via Twente at 14:15 UTC it was already in progress with a good signal! So, obviously it starts at an earlier time. Perhaps 14:00 UTC? What's the point of having the English and French programs on at the same time? Some of us might want to listen to both.

["]The French-language RCI program was the weekly program "Tam-Tam Canada" (with the familiar tam-tam drum signature music) and it was today's edition that was broadcast. Good reception via Twente. It ended at about 14:52 UTC with then a switch briefly to Radio 700 programming. I have queries out to both Radio 700 and RCI about these programs and will report back if I get further information.

["]I wonder if there's an active collaboration of RCI in this effort?

Please let us know what you discover, Richard! Though I imagine this broadcast of The Link and Tam-Tam Canada may be a limited broadcast run, it would be incredibly cool to hear RCI on shortwave once again.
