Hello everywhere,
once again I spent some nice days in Denmark. We were a group of 4 radio
enthusiasts from southern Germany. We rented a holiday cottage at the Danish
west coast. There was place enough for Beverage antennas up to 500 m to all
relevant DX directions.
Here now the reception results of the recent DX-Camp:

Hey All, Its sad to hear that this service is now over! Having worked in
broadcasting, I understand the economics of this move. It is VERY expsenive to
run a program like this. That sead, I still wish that they would reconsider. I
would tune in as well from time to time. I think that we are seeing the end of
an era starting now.(I hope not, but it looks that way) Good dx to all, Robbie

I would like to express my personal thanks, as well as gratitude for all
list subscribers, to our amigo Arnie Coro for his tireless efforts on behalf
of the Short-Wave listeners who benefit from DXERS Unlimited. As a QTH.NET
list admin for over ten years, a totally voluntary role, I know how seldom
anyone remembers to say 'thank you'. So thanks Arnie!

Just a note to let everyone know that Saul and I are working on processing
the CFFX QSL cards. Because we received a large number of requests, and
because the transnational nature of the QSL process is a little convoluted,
we are trying to get all the requests and responses taken care of with the
minimum number of mailings.
The bottom line ... the QSLs will soon be in the mail. We ask that everyone
just continue to be patient. I promise that everyone who heard the test and
wants a QSL will get one. Thanks and 73s,

** AFGHANISTAN [non]. R. Solh, 15265 via UK, 1452 UT Feb 18, exactly same music
as always, and rather poor signal today, but with additional problem: Spanish
2-way SSB on 15266.5, probably drug runners or poachers (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** ALBANIA. R. Tirana, 13640 to NAm, Tue Feb 19 at 1539 with reports about
independence of Kosovo, US recognition thereof, etc. Good S9+20 signal reaching
SINPO 45444 but somewhat overmodulated and distorted; better than being
undermodulated. 1549 music break, 1552 mailbag reading several reception
reports with their SINPOs; 1558 theme, open carrier, 1558:30 bit of IS, open
carrier again until off at 1559* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. CRI via Sackville, 15230, Feb 18 at 1453 in English with frequent
audio dropouts, unlistenable. Is anyone paying attention? Why is it so hard to
maintain a clearly modulated feed from Beijing to Sackville? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15710, Feb 18 at 1450 check, NO jamming at all! Have they finally
turned it off? Why was it ever here? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. Another morning I wish I had been tuning earlier: Feb 18 at the
late hour of 1415, on 4790 island music, also CODAR and SSB QRM, best Indo
signal on band, then 4605 with different music; 4750 had only a very weak
carrier, maybe not Makassar (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. 7380, Feb 18 at 1432 Qur`an with long pauses, 1434 into M&W talk in S
Asian language. Qur`an on the half-hour is a clew toward Iran, and indeed when
uplooked later, it`s IRIB Kamalabad in Bengali (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTNEING
DIGEST)
** MAURITANIA. ORTM must be back, after missing a few weeks: 4845, Feb 18 at
0633, Arabic talk and characteristic string music; QRM from ute pulsing 40
times a minute, but no CODAR on this frequency. At this hour was somewhat
stronger than Chad 4905 in French. Also Feb 19 at 0719 check, French talk still
audible on 4845 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. Waiting in the car at a grocery parking lot, I tuned around on the
portable DX-375 with its intermittent whip antenna connexion, and found only a
few strong signals on 19m, including, going off the air just a few seconds
after I tuned in, V. of Nigeria, 15120, 2058 UT Feb 18, sign-off in English
with address, adequate modulation. Not the place for WBCQ to be in A-08 (Glenn
Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WWRB, 9385, again splattering Brother Scare down to 9330 at 1435 Feb
18, and also up to 9410 a few minutes later. On 9385 itself, distortion. Why is
it so hard to get a clearly modulated signal from Walterboro to Manchester and
beyond? Maybe he should start by speaking in a normal tone of voice. Yeah, sure

Some tips
4985 20/2 0225 Brasil Central, religious talks and music, fair
5000 20/2 0220 Observatorio Naval Cagigal, Venezuela, pips and ids, fair
6009,96v 20/2 0150 La Voz de tu Conciencia (pres.), Colombia, talks, under
another station, poor
6035 20/2 0055 La Voz del Guaviare, Colombia, ids, nice signal, QRM from
Bhutan
6035 20/2 0058 BBS Bhutan, slow songs, talks at 0100, clear even if under
Guaviare!
6047,21v 20/2 0205 Radio Santa Rosa, Peru, (presumed), too low modulation!
Only some music traces... just a tent.
6067,12v 20/2 0200 IRIB, Iran, Holy Kuran and short talk mentioning Iran,
strong but low modulation and splatter. It would be prg to Africa
9720 20/2 0215 Radio Victoria, Peru, usual rel. program, fair
