Greetings to all. First quality time at the radio in days! Regarding the first log, doesn't Lesotho normally sign-off at 2200? I was surprised to hear them at this hour.
4800, LESOTHO, R.Lesotho (P), 2243-2258*, 6/18. Booming signal w/ Afropops at t/in, 2 OM w/ banter, laughter, YL joins via telephone, signal suddenly dissappears at 2258. Continued listening, pips noted at 2300 followed by OM and YL in Mandarin, just audible. Presumably co-ch. CPBS, China. 4820, TIBET, Xizang PBS, Lhasa, 2302-2330, 6/18 CH/EG. Apparent language lesson w/ OM and YL in CH, lots of repetitive words and phrases. Brief mx at 2320 w/ (p) ID by YL w/ echo effect. YL in EG at 2324 spelling "parrot" and "garden", OM repeats in CH. Signal begins to f/out, gone by 2330. Good at t/in. Logged this one on 5/21, same time and format. WRTH lists CNR 1 relay. 6050, NIGERIA, R.Nigeria, Kaduna, 2134-2149*, 6/18, EG. YL w/ nx re government, DPR Congo and National Consortium, construction contracts. Drums at 2145, OM w/ s/off anmts, Pledge to Nigeria, NA?. Poor, choppy signal. 6050, TIBET, Xizang PBS, Lhasa, 2150-2215, 6/18, CH. OM and YL w/ tlks noted over co-ch. HCJB after Nigeria s/off. Pips and (p) ID at 2200, diff. YL w/ nx, jingles and tlk at 2205, HCJB taking over by 2215. 6155, BOLIVIA, R.Fides, 0105-0130, 6/19, SP. OM w/ futbol match, "Goal" at 0119, several quick mentions of "Coca-Cola" throughout, leads me to believe they are sponsors? "Jingle" ID at 0124, fair signal w/ QRM splatter until wiped out by co-ch. RTE Overseas s/on at 0130. Scott R Barbour Jr-Intervale,NH USA Sangean ATS 818, RF Systems MLB-1, RS Longwire w/ RBA balun. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
