QTH: Kabul, Afghanistan RX: WinRadio G303e ANT: 100m Longwire/Randomwire ACC: Palstar MW-550P Mediumwave Preselector
5130 15 OCT, 1718 UTC, UNID, poss. Radio Maranatha, Kyrgyzstan. Heard with long winded religious-sounding soft talk by a man. The language was not oriental, and sounded more like Farsi. At 1730, short pieces of gospel music were played, done by a mixed chorus to guitar and piano. After that there were two long selections done by a woman and then dead air after 1743. AOKI lists this from 1457 to 1743. I guess they just keep the carrier on or make adjustments, etc. Perfect signal with no QRM except for about 30 seconds at 1730 due to 4-level FSK bursting about 3 kHz down. With this signal strength it should easily make it to Europe and Asia. Had a really bad power line noise since yesterday which finally went away this afternoon. I spent most of my free day today watching my favorite horror movies, and cleaning my side arm. Hope everyone else's DX day went better than this! 73s Al "Congress is so strange.
