For Europeans and (North) Africans, and probably for people far beyond these designated target areas, there are currently opportunities to listen to Radio Taiwan International (RTI) directly from Tamsui, Taiwan, without much trouble.
The German service can be listened to on every Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening from July 26 – 28 and August 2 – 4.
If you are more into French, their series of broadcasts, also from Fridays to Sundays, starts on August 9, with their last transmission from Tamsui on September 1.
Apart from that, both services can regularly be heard, daily from 19:00 to 19:30 UTC on 6005 kHz (French) and on 5900 kHz (German), both via Kostinbrod, Bulgaria, with news updates at the beginning of those half hours from Mondays through Fridays. On weekends, the programs become more magazine-like.
