[HCDX] Pan-American logs from the past evening (DEC 22)
Hello ! Bogdan speaks: As many of you know, especially those of you who are on LatinMWDX, the last night while I was walking with my father and the dog, I bring an old longwave/mediumwave transistor radio, Phillips, with us and it sounded like Pierrefonds/Dollards-des-Ormeaux (Montreal suburbs) were the east coast. Not exceptionnal DX, but Turks and Caicos-530 was often excellent, Colombia-760 peaked to excellent on the Wootside street in DdO, and another Colombian made a showing on 650. DX from my home QTH revealed plenty of cubans, almost exclusively Radio Rebelde outlets. The 50 kW 1180 kHz out-let in Villa Maria seem to arrive via high-angle skip, as it was easily recevable even using a very mediocre Panasonic Rx-D14 AM/FM Hi-Fi portable (no, not my present fro Christmas; I will receive the Sangean, AOR or Sony ICF-2001 or whearever on December 24 only !!), sometimes stronger than on my usual Sanyo MCD-S830 receiver, still mostly way under WHAM, very occasionnally atop, tough. But, the brig surprise comed up with a very seldom heard by me outlet in Colon (I think) on 620 during 2 minutes of dead air by semi-local WVMT in Burlington (just accros the border in Vermont). It was playing spanish disco music and was clearly //ed with 600, 710 and 1180; this may have been the high-light of the last night DX sessions. Guadeloupe made a showing with a very good signal, tough much instable than the cuban powerhouses. Venezuelans were sub-par with only YVKS-750 audible, altough at a fairly huge level at times. Colombia was so and so, 760 was the only really consistentsignal. Turks and Caicos was excellent on 530, and a some dozens of minutessome time before the end of the session, spendon the expanded band, rpovide dme with WDHP-1620; a new log and country nr. 16for me(US Virgin Islands). Tough, since local CJWI-1610 run very low power, and 1620 is quite clear, I do not consider it a so exciting catch asRebelde-620. I would really love to have WVMT silent for a night or so; it may be my only chane for hearing Nicaragua on MW. Conditions were clearly very good, but not excellent; the Caribbean dominated and South America was poorer. There were also some longer-haul excellent domestic signals like WSB-750 and WRVA-1140, but these weren't impressive enough to take me away from this nice LA opening, close to "freeding-freezing", as Mark Connelly says sometimes. Into the logs now: Bogdan Chiochiu DX-ing from around the eastern part of West Island Montreal, QC and from his own QTH in Pierrefonds: Equipment: Sanyo MCD-S830 AM/FM portablew/ his own internal ferrite loop Phillips LW/MW tube transistor w/ferrite bar antenna (bringed from Romania) Panasonic-RxD14 weak portable w/ short internal ferrite rod 530 TURKS AND CAICOS, R. Vision Cristiana, DEC 23 0236 - excellent with SS tropical song about "Navidad". + DEC 23 0249 +/- Excellent to fair anddistortedwith a gospel song followed by a SS version of "Adeste Fidelez". + DEC 23 0400 with Navidad top-of-the-hour jingle, thentriple ID for WWRV-1330, WVIP-1310 and RVC-530; excellent to very good; barely 10 minutes later back to excellent and the neighborhood has shutted down their computer, sothe reception becomed really entertainment quality. (Chiochiu-QC) 600CUBA, CMKV, Radio Rebelde, Urbano Norris, DEC 23 0353 - good for 2-3 minutes with an old-fashionned cuban song (Chiochiu-QC) + DEC 23 0448 with SS disco music, //620. Good signal strenght + DEC 23 0413 - with SS ballads, good-fair signal with some WICC QRM. CKAT North Bay, ON occasionnally in too (even when nulled), but way much weaker(Chiochiu-QC). 620 CUBA, Radio Rebelde, Colon, DEC 23 0351 -Very good with SS disco song until blowed away a bit after 0452 by WVMT-VT coming back with programming; //1180 (fair signal, but way under WHAM) and 600 (good with interference-free at the time) (Chicohiu-QC) 640 CUBA, Radio Progreso, ? , DEC 23 2352 - Rumba mx, poor u/ WNNZ; the sametype of programming as heard on 890 several dozens of minutes later (Chiochiu-QC) 640 GUADELOUPE, Radio Guadeloupe, Pointe-à-Pitre, DEC 23 0442 - briefly very good with France Info newscast; with man in FF talking about politics;lost to heavy QRM from nulled CFYR(Mojo Radio) Toronto barely 30 seconds later(Chiochiu-QC) 650 COLOMBIA, HJKH RCN Antena Dos, Bogota, DEC 23 0202 - very poor with man in spanish; audible only because the CKAC transmitted spur isextremely weakin the Cérez Park,while at home it is fair ! Except for RCN-760 - wich run higher-power again - Colombia is pretty tough to hear at my QTH, unlike Venezuela wich is regular on 640, 670 and 750(Chiochiu-QC) 670 UNITED STATES, WWFE, Miami, FL DEC 23 0347 - presumed with SS talk beetwen man and woman at poor-fair level, not // any Rebelde outlet, and R. Rumbos goes off after0400 (UTC). This may create a confusion forLADX-ers who may think they had either Venezuela or Cuba, when this is Florida !
[HCDX] Domestic DX Tip
Bogdan Alexandru Chiochiu QTH: Pierrefonds-Est, Quebec, Canada Heard on a Sanyo MCD-S830 w/ internal ferrite bar loop antenna: 1320 CKEC New Glasgow, NSDEC 231711 EST - End of wx report for Northern Nova Scotia, followed by a man announcing "Right now Pet Shop Boys -West End Girls" wich is what they played (a very nice 1986 eurodisco hit with some rap); after the end of the song the man said the title again and mentioned "on CKEC", followed by another short, but detailed weather report followed by 2 Hot-AC song (one was RB and the following was soft-rock). Excellent to occasionally fair reception, but about 12 minutes later reception deteriorated dramatically with CJMR Missisauga fading up to excellent level too, unfortunately; still had very, verybrief bursts of this with near-excellent signal, playing the rock song (a bit similar to Roxette). No Latins noted on mediumwave this evening as checked1 hour earlier(Chiochiu-QC) 73 and a very Merry Christmas, Bogdan Chiochiu

[HCDX] 11734 or 11735 Khz ?
Hello, Everybody ! Great Christmas for all !! First of all - you the professionals in area DX, therefore probably also I ask to help me... Yesterday December 22 near Moscow with SINPO 34533 since 19.38 UTC I listened to radiostation, where till 20.00 UTC music non-stop, namely was transmitted Phil Collins, duet man and woman Fall in love ..., others songs on English. After 20.00 UTC similar there was news, and at 20.09 UTC music, but already on a national language has begun to sound. Why I ask to help, business that I can not precisely determine frequency of broadcasting of radiostation at all, not that what even to identify it, as Passport 2003 gives on this time three stations, and I in this connection have got confused in its definition. Someone can all the same is capable me to help, and will call precise frequency of broadcasting and title of radiostation, to which one I listened. Thanks!! Yours faithfully, Vlad. ---[Start Commercial]- World Radio TV Handbook 2003 will be out soon.
