9995 KOREA, NORTH, V. of Korea heard 19 Nov. at 1518 with AR pgm to the Middle East. The signal was S3 at best. I was quite surprised at the lack of strength, especially as it is supposed to be beamed to the ME. 9990 ISRAEL, Kol Israel, heard 19 Nov. at 1501 w/s/on in FS and news. English recordings of Simon Peres. Loud signal, but not quite S5. If I recall correctly, they were going to quit SW a few years back. 9970 BELGIUM, RTBF Intl., heard in French talk and music w/IDs at 1529 on 19 Nov. Good signals, but suddenly creamed by R.F.Chosun tuning up on freq @ 1533. 9970 CLAN, ARMENIA, R.F.Chosun relay via Gavar. KR nx, political talk and mx at 1545 on 19 Nov. They started tuning up on freq at 1533, beating RTBF Belgium into the dirt. Pounding S4+ sigs. I decided to explore 31 meters a little bit and see what there was left on there. Belgium is an old friend and I still proudly have my QSL from BRT ca. 1977. I had seen all sorts of reports that Israel was giving up on Shortwave, but it seems the unfortunate political state in this area of the world has kept them on the air. Port Blair, Andaman and Nicobar islands, India still on 4760 this morning, but not quite as strong as yesterday. Tajikistan was pounding at 0020, but at shortly after 0030 the seemed to change antenna patters as their signal dropped considerably. No help for Port Blair though, whose signal continued to deteriorate. Have a great day, everyone! 73s de Al "It has been observed that a pure democracy if it were practicable would be the most perfect government. Experience has proved that no position is more false than this. The ancient democracies in which the people themselves deliberated never possessed one good feature of government. Their very character was tyranny; their figure deformity." - Alexander Hamilton, Speech on 21 June 1788 urging ratification of the Constitution in New York. ---[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.
