At t/in, VA7LTX, Richmond, BC, Canada was calling CQ on 7142 and requested the person tuning up w/continuous signal on 7140 give him a call not realizing it was VOBM!! After a few minutes, he moved up to 7143 and got in a QSO w/Ham in KS but was still causing a lot of QRM to VOBM. 0257 ended tone and began guitar IS. A min. later, carrier came on 7140.0 causing a low het, apparently the white noise jammer that was noted later at 0320 check. 0300 M anncr, instru. mx bridge, then diff. M, and HoA mx. Very little audio noted because of the jammer at 0320. (4 Oct.) 7180.02 ERITREA VOBM 2 Like 7140.02, hrd the OC w/1.027 kHz tone from 0247. Odd that both freqs were 22 hertz off (yes, I had calibrated the Perseus). However, the tone here was slightly higher than on 7140.02. 0300 end of tone, then very low level mx (maybe the IS), then stronger audio w/instru. HoA mx w/apparent s/on ID anmnt. Like 7140.02, very little audio making it through the white noise jammer at 0320, but did hear vcl singing. (4 Oct.) 6090 ETHIOPIA Amhara State R. Barely audible at 0255 t/in w/what sounded like mx. 0258 two and a half reps of the haunting echoey IS at better audio level, dead air, then M anncr suddenly at 0300 and lively HoA instru. mx. Not that bad of a signal but massive slop QRM from 6105 Japan when they started at 0258. (4 Oct.) 7120 SOMALILAND R. Hargeisa Already on w/anthem at 0329, barely audible M at 0330, diff. M introducing the Koran briefly at 0332, and into said morning prayers. Clear but they need to boost the audio. (4 Oct.) 6205.01 PIRATE (EUROPE) Laser Hot Hits 0334 quite audible w/song off the Bee Gees ?Spirits Having Flown? LP. Incredible peak at 0336:30. 0338 song anmnt, 0339 into next Pop song w/laser shooting SFX. 0342 ad for ?Off Shore Echos? magazine. Never seemed to peak during anmnts though. Audio can be heard at: https://app.box.com/s/dx1edig0qvd77px6y2my4l91stl5s2nk (4 Oct.) 9730 MYANMAR Myanma R. Surprised to get some audio on this at 1125 w/same W anncr as hrd in the past. Apparent nx by W and M after 1130. Signal off at 1133:50. Very weak w/slop QRM from 9725 CRI. (4 Oct.) 9410 UNID. Fu Hsing?? Found on a couple web rxs around 1150 w/usual weak signal going off and on. Decided to try it here for the heck of it and was shocked to see it in the display mimicking the on/off times on the web rxs, finally going off for good sometime around 1156. No hope for any audio here of course.

Publicity for Famagusta website http://www.travel-gazette.com has several seemingly real story linx, but top of page pimps fake news clickbait to questionable advertising (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ETHIOPIA. 6090, Oct 4 at 0256, carrier on here but not Anguilla, very poor S5-S7, 0258:20 IS starts playing briefly and can`t copy any talk to 0300. Amhara State Radio is the one on 6090, but Ron Howard with help from David Kernick has been hearing ISes of different stations each day, on 6090, the ones also supposed to be on 6030 and 6110. He says on UT Oct 3 it was really R. Amhara IS, but Oct 1 it was R. Oromiya, and on Sept 29, R. Fana, respectively; however the first clip is labeled UTC Oct 2, all in heavy storm noise levels: http://goo.gl/9yN12V http://goo.gl/wjZFN3 http://goo.gl/3e1MXn Recalling my unrecorded log, seems more like the first one, than the second one and certainly not the third one I heard. All the regional stations are transmitted from Addis Ababa, so a mixup could easily happen at the site if not the studios. Even the private station R. Fana, 6110 transmits from the AA/Geja site, same as R. Oromiya, 6030, government station. WRTH does not specify Geja, however, for Amhara SR. It should be interesting to monitor 6110 and if possible 6030 at the same time just before 0300 to ascertain which ISes they are playing. Then there`s 5950, V. of Tigray Revolution, which also transmits on SW from AA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GERMANY. 15449.885, Oct 4 at 1429, still way off-frequency is Biblis scheduled in R.

Next check at 0603, surprised to find him still/again on, very late, and much better at S9+10, now can understand his diatribe including: was former Christian for 40 years, 53-page document, tens of millions of Christians have been fooled into believing in that so-called god, Jesus. 0606 playing his notorious ``creepy tune, Days of Hard Life``, but cut at 0608 for undermodulated closing, ID as YHWH, hello to someone in California, I love you, and pulls plug immediately (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SAUDI ARABIA. 21505.028, Oct 4 at 1433, Arabic talk stronger than 21525 WRMI, but weaker than // 17705.005, i.e. BSKSA General first program. 21505 is 500 kW, 295 degrees from Riyadh.

IDs, off just before 1330* but probably too late to get the transmitter retuned to 11880 for Kazakh to start on time at 1330.

Message-ID: <3c108ae4-6ad5-d1ce-f23e-b2a1df8cc...@makelainen.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed Here's a unique once-in-a-lifetime offer to foreign AM DXers. Are you interested in DXing in the Arctic DX paradise of Aihkiniemi in the Finnish Lapland with some local help? Can you leave for a week of DXing at a short notice? If so, read on. DXing in an entirely new location can be very challenging, because it is difficult to know what antennas to use (we have 13 1-km-long Beverage antennas), when to listen to which directions and how to interprete the changing propagation conditions. Learning it all is sooo much easier if you go there with someone who is already experienced in the Arctic conditions. Now there is a possibility that one of you could join me for a week in Aihkiniemi from October 28 to November 4. I would be able to personally guide you to the secrets of Arctic DXing, and I can promise you an unforgettable DXing experience, whatever the space weather happens to be. I'm one of the founding members of Aihkiniemi, which was built in 2010. This is the first time in these seven years that anyone of us is making an offer like this, although the cabin is and has been open to foreign DXers to rent and to explore the AM band on their own, and many have taken advantage of that opportunity. Here's the thing. I'm going to Aihkiniemi already on October 21 for two weeks of intensive AM DXing. Fellow DXer Jim Solatie will join me, but it looks like he needs to leave before the first week is over. In that case there would be room for another DXer for one week. I will be traveling back to southern Finland on November 4, arriving by train in Helsinki in the morning of November 5, so that's when the fun will be over. These dates are fixed. So how much would it cost? You would be paying: - half of the weekly cabin fee (250 out of 500 euros) plus expenses when we go for shower in nearby premises - half of our return trip costs by car and rail from Aihkiniemi to Helsinki - your own groceries, meals and other personal expenses - your travel to and from Finland, naturally ;) What kind of a place is it? You can find out everything here: http://www.dxing.info/dxpeditions/aihkiniemi_dx_cabin_for_rent.dx Aihkiniemi has the antennas, but you would need to bring your own receiver(s), hard drive(s), earphones, an antenna splitter and the necessary cables, all-weather clothing, bedsheets and other personal items. Consider seizing the opportunity if you: - already have several years of AM DXing experience - are healthy and fit enough to walk for miles in the Arctic terrain, checking the antennas - don't have a major snoring problem (the cabin is small and we are sharing one bedroom) - are flexible and fast in making your travel arrangements - your equipment don't cause RFI (electrical interference) You would need to fly to Inari/Ivalo in Finland or to Kirkenes in Norway on October 28. I would pick you up at the airport, and after the DXpedition, you would be departing from Helsinki on or after November 5. If this sounds great, then please be in touch with me, and depending on how many interested DXers there are, you could be the lucky one. Don't make any firm plans or reservations before a confirmation from me. I just returned from my previous DXpedition to Aihkiniemi last weekend, and here's my report: http://www.dxing.info/dxpeditions/aih72rep.htm <https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dxing.info%2Fdxpeditions%2Faih72rep.htm&h=ATOG6My6nvibNIYr-R_te3Z-X-BTcMGOxt7Zi9Gv8XyLYsJ8FgZZIhkQt_h1AENdB_e7zxYcBO6-3P_MtAKjB9WbjyFYcvFOIEz2a9D2zgDxn8XIm1W6KyUH7xIOsin_9C-GNmWzCAwnMP3P-7dt_8FWo3H3WttxCBl_gnPD-ILZnmGrPwY8Wghvv5AaWJzprLnNNZ5YNAZ3w02_xhXIaM_YPsf-KR8THrFXl5brny5ZSpyw978cchmvF69ofCFfIvMZ1K_0mMQbTj3B0RPegqUmNWdy0KO9qt006y7JkNTh> - might be useful to know what to expect. I need to point out that I already have thousands of verified AM stations from both east and west so that if you have less, you can count on getting numerous new stations no matter what the propagation conditions will be. Expect the temperatures to range from +10 C to -15 C. DXing in Lapland has never been as easy as this. Interested? :) I'm not following these mailing lists regularly, so email me directly (and not on mailing lists) to express interest or to ask questions. (Don't share this publicly, but you can share this info with a limited circle of fellow DXers in your country/club.) 73 Mika Makelainen Finland, www.dxing.info End of Hard-Core-DX Digest, Vol 178, Issue 5 ********************************************
