1143 TAJIKISTAN, Russian Intl.R. relay heard at 19.40 on 10 Nov with S4 sigs and steady level. Some nice RU rock and pop mx made for a half an hour or so of enjoyable listening. Listed as 150kW 4940 SAO TOME E PRINCIPE, (tent.) VoA w/African/Latin-style mx heard at 20.05 on 10 Nov. Didn't really hear any announcements. It was mostly straight mx. OM talk heard at 20.32 in poss. Hausa (fits sked), poss. nx. Sao Tome relay ststion is the only thing sked'ed on this freq at this time per HFCC, although pattern doesn't really fit typical VoA, and SAm seems too far to consider in the realm of the possible. Fair to poor sigs with a fluttery fade. Seems to jive with 100kW and a 30 degree beam... 5915 SLOVAKIA, SRI heard at 20.45 on 10 Nov in FR w/some kick-ass Slovak hard rock. Yeah, anything rock or heavy metal causes me to pause on freq. I refuse to grow up! LOL Excellent sigs into Kabul at this time. Too bad it's 01.20 in the AM here... I will be doing some antenna remodeling here in the coming days and have ordered the company servicing the generator to ground it as well. I was inspecting it the other day and there is no earthing from the genset to the ground. I will also be preparing a proper house ground pit (salt/charcoal/water/3m copper rod) and we'll see if this all improves the noise level. Hope everyone concerned has a great Memorial/Armistice/Remembrance Day! 73 de Al "We feel that our cause is just and holy; we protest solemnly in the face of mankind that we desire peace at any sacrifice save that of honor and independence; we ask no conquest, no aggrandizement, no concession of any kind from the States with which we were lately confederated; all we ask is to be let alone; that those who never held power over us shall not now attempt our subjugation by arms." - President Jefferson Davis, Confederate States of America, April 29th, 1861 ---[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.
