5110 USA WBCQ 09/04 2355-0025 Tuned in as Captain Ganja was signing off his show because he had to, as he put it, "...take a shower and wash all the grease out of my long, long hippie hair." Then usual stuff on what was announced as "The station that lifts and seperates." (Barker, Broomall PA)
6040 MOLDOVA Radio PMR 09/02 2215-2230 Gangbusters signal in EG. Program on independence proclamation on Sep. 2nd 1990. At s/off gave address in Moldova instead of Pridnestrovye, the self-declared independent region in southeastern Moldova. Some kind of agreement with Moldovan govt? (Barker, Broomall PA) 7505 USA WRNO 09/03 0300 Checked for WRNO but the freq was silent. Checked other licensed freqs just in case, but nothing there either. Tuned in again on 09/04 at 0100 to try for s/on but still no WRNO signal. (Barker, Broomall PA) 9280 EGYPT R. Cairo 09/01 2130-2150 in EG for some reason (thought it was usually AR at this hour). Strong signal but the worst modulation I have ever heard from Cairo. Every third word or so was intelligible. As a blessing, audio kept dropping out, once for 11 minutes. Carrier left all alone. Gave up at 2150. Next day was in AR on 9280 with clean audio. On 09/02 I tuned to Cairo in EG to Europe on 11550 at 2200. Again with the same defective modulation. Is it just the EG services? (Barker, Broomall PA) 12035 SAO TOME VOA 09/01 2100-2130* FR relay for Africa. Nx after s/on with several stories about Gustav hitting the Louisiana Gulf coast. Following nx into long detailed report about Gustav. Then a special program about Willie Nelson included playing some of his songs. Signal knocked your socks off at s/on but began fading badly into band hash and became difficult to copy. At 2128 could hear short Yankee Doodle then the familiar VOA s/off in EG "This program has come to you from Voice of America, Washington. This is VOA signing off." Into Yankee again and s/off at 2130 on the dot. (Barker, Broomall PA) 15205 SAUDI ARABIA BSKSA 09/04 1600-1640 S/On with national anthem followed by Q'uran recitations until 1607. Then OM sounded like reading, followed by more Q'ran chanting. Band noise was high and finally swallowed the signal by 1640. (Barker, Broomall PA) Bruce Barker, Broomall, PA. NRD 535D, new Alpha Delta sloper isn't up yet so it's still a short longwire. ---[Start Commercial]--------------------- Order your WRTH 2008: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2008 ---[End Commercial]----------------------- ________________________________________ Hard-Core-DX mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
