Before I get to the logs I thought I would give everyone a quick update on the ongoing noise problem at my location. Spoke with the technician in charge of investigating such problems last week. He said the utility companies engineers had completed work on a detailed map of their power lines in the area and that he was coming up the next day, Wedsnesday the 7th, with the necessary equipment to try and pinpoint the source of the noise.
I will check back with him next week. Patience continues to be the order of the day. LOGS: Have taken the radio out the past two Mondays to the Albany Covered Bridge parking area, adjacent to the Swift River, 7 miles from Conway Village on the Kancamaugus Highway. The site of my previous DXPDs, Sugar Hill, is inaccessible as snowplows dont clear the parking area in the winter. Would like to stay out more than a couple of hours but already chilly temperatures plummet once the sun sets. 4635, TAJIKISTAN, presumed Tajik Radio, 2228-2243, Feb 12, Vernacular.
