QTH: Pattaya, Thailand RX: WinRadio G303e ANT: 10m Longwire/Randomwire ACC: None
918 10 SEP, 2226 UTC, UNID (poss. Cambodia?), Rolled up on-freq at 2226 hoping to find NRK, but there was already a station on there playing light R&B. I know the sign on time is variable, so I sat listening and the same song was played in a loop until 2300 when there was some talk by a man. Signal was quite weak, so I was unable to clearly hear the language. Seems to me that if Phnom Penh was really at 120kW, it would be a much better signal, unless a directional antenna. There is also a 100kW Radio Thailand station on frequency, but this audio was not // to any of the other RT channels. I'll try again after sundown and see what I get. 4750 10 SEP, 1134 UTC, INDONESIA, RRI Makassar (tent.), long-winded Koranic singing with occasional prayer and talk. Sounded like Bahasa Indonesia, but unable to confirm via RRI live audio stream, and Makassar regional live audio not offered. Checked on Bangladesh website to make sure I didn't have them and they were happily playing light pop. 5050 10 SEP, 2327 UTC, CHINA, Beibu Bay Radio, in presumed Mandarin (according to schedule) with man talking in soothing tones over classical music, then ID with many mentions of Beibu, into some light jazz music. Allegedly only 15kW, but good signals with only a slight fade. 6130 10 SEP, 1444 UTC, LAOS, Lao National Radio in Lao with talks by female announcer into several Laotian tunes. Station ID at 2201 after song ended by woman announcer with extremely laid-back voice. Constant S9 signal with no QRM on this night. Not a bad day for logging. Sure wish I could get a positive on NRK above, and am curious about Makassar (anyone else in the area noticed this programming at this particular day/time?). 73s Al "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks...will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered... The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." - President, Thomas Jefferson ---[Start Commercial]--------------------- Order your WRTH 2009: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2009 ---[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.
