A small part of Turkey is actually located in Europe, so I have no problems with Turkey taking part in the European Song Contest and they are also trying to be a member of the European Union.

[HCDX] Re: Best Internet Frequency Search?
Hi Gary Here are some internet search sites that you may like to try out. http://www.addx.de/Hfpdat/plaene.php http://www.eibi.de.vu/ http://www.hfcc.org/data/ http://www.primetimeshortwave.com/#mail http://www.fineware-swl.com/schedules/TextListing.html http://www.sover.net/~hackmohr/sw.htm http://www.dxsheigra.freeserve.co.uk/troplogj.htm http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Park/3232/dxlinks/index.htm There are, of course, a lot more to be found lurking around, but as a general rule I find that these cover most eventualities (especially the 2nd one listed here - eibi all language page). It's also worth subscribing to http://www.ilgradio.com/ which is brilliant. But it may take a few weeks for them to register you. (Well worth the wait though, Very comprehensive.) Finally, check out Glenn Hauser's http://www.worldofradio.com/ listening digest. Not actually a search list, but very interesting when it comes to DX news, updates etc... Hope this helps a bit, Gary.

[HCDX] Huge Aurora - Almost no MW skywave signals the past ev. herein Mtl., targets talk
Hello ! The past evening I was surprised even tough there was an hour or so before sunset to not being able to hear at all WPTR Legends 15-40 wich is a short-skip "pest" usually here, from Albany, NY. Then two hours after dark they were not audible at all either and semi-local WICY on 1490 kHz had an interference-free signal. Until just after 10:30 PM when I got a very threshold US talk programk on 1180 out of WHAM on my Sangean 606 barefoot (I expected to get Cuba, but the time of the year along with huge AU condx meaned, I think, southern domestics, Caribbean and South Americans were absorbed too by the D layer). Also WQEW Radio Disney 1560 was poor and fadey playing Pink - Get the Party Started around 10:28 PM. They are usually excellent, tough slightly WEAKER than WPTR-1540. I wonder why I couldn't get WPTR-1540 at all. During the most severe AUroras in the 2000-2001, 2001-2002 and the last 2002-2003 seasons I could still get them weakly with lots of fadings, but that wasn't the case at all. Due to the D layer absorption of long-haul MW signals at this time of the year, unfortunatly, I couldn't hear ZNS at all and it would have been a new log here. RIght now, the ZLS morse-code beacon in Stella Maris, on 526 kHz, is my only Bahamian catche. I go to bed around 11:30 PM unfortunately and I missed a likely Au induced E-skip opening on the FM band, to South Dakota, that many WTFDAers reported. I didn't had much luck this FM season yet with Sp-E-skip and the batteries on my Sangean 606 aren't fresh either and I get a lot of E messages each few minutes, especially when I put the volume high. SOmetimes, I cannot open the radio several times in a row, even when the VOL is at MIN. I get the same E (for Error) message. And I don't have any other decent FM rx. Just in passing, my 89.9 unID wasn't Bahamas, but tropo-scatter from a new Dance-music station in Ottawa, CHIT. I got them with a steadier signal on the car-radio with my father this Monday ! MWDXer John Plimmer in South Africa had, on the other hand, a lot of luck with the recent solar flare. He got WWRL-1600, over 12000 kilometers from his location. A very big amount of congratulations to him ! I'd LOVE to hear any South African MW signal from anywhere. I think, if I could just get the Radio Xhesa 846 kHz radio station wich have been received a few times in NF and Mark Connelly tentatively got them in MAssachussets, then it would be super-fun ! Unfortunatly I haven't heard the faintest TA MW audio yet, and only some really faint ones on LW (from, I think, the 183 and 189 kH stations), so I think a much better receiver and a DXpedition to an excellent coastal QTH would be the best things to do in order to log South Africa from eastern North America. I think Bermuda would be the ebst QTH for that. But, programming-wise, I think the Venezuelan AM stations have better programming than the South Afro ones. More tropical music, more proffessionnal sounding announcers, more IDs... Of course, it would be a once-in-a-lifetime thing If I get SOuth African MW, but I get quite some YVs and would dearly like to log all the 22 (or 23 ?) YV states. Right now, for the next season, I really need the Carabobo state. The best bet in my opinion is YVKK Radio Nacíonal Antena Popular on 770 kHz in Valencia. WHen AU condx are in, during the fall and winter months, I seem to get mostly the 100 kW RCN Bogota station, when WABC is poorer or not there, but once this fall I got a woman in SS with a fair signal, under a somewhat subdued WABC with no Colombians audible, so this may had been a good sign. During really severe auroras, hearing the other Valencia outlets on 1220 and 1470 should also be possible, but less likely. I do know that there is a strong Floridan on 1470 kHz, so hearing Vibracion or Latina won't be easy. But 1220 should be even harder. The only reports I saw are of Radio Globo in Rio de Janeiro heard over aLatin American. Was thisunID Latin American YVVM ? For exemple, take a look at: 1220 BRAZIL R.Globo, Rio de Janeiro OCT 8 0028 - Fair; Globo jingles, whistling, man in Portuguese, and Billy Idol song over an unID Latin American station. [Conti-ME] I think the unID Latin American station that was under Globo was YVVM wich makes YVVM-1220 worth chassing the next season for me. I think YVVM and XEB would be the easiest SS LA's to hear on 1220, in my opinion and easier for me inland than Radio Globo wich is only reported right on the coast. Using the Sanyo MCD-S830 I heard a second SS station on 890 under Cuba, but I think this was WBPS rather than Radio America (YVLW). 890 Valencia has been heard by Bruce Contiin Oct. '00: 890 VENEZUELA R.America, Valencia OCT 9 0040 - Poor; shouting Radio America IDs heard through R.Progreso-Cuba. [Conti-ME] Two of the easiest YV states, both with strong stations on 860 are YVOL Mundial Ocho-Sesenta (from the Mundial network, they relay sometimes the 550

Back again after more than 3 weeks... my computer was for service, new problem on radio reception From 9th of this month powerline noise (PLN) from the nearby 10kV electricity towers effect again my reception , with a S9 to S9+10 level over all the bands. Noise seems quasi ignition or spark type since only in short parts of the band noise blanker can eliminate it. IN other cases my MFJ1025 double antenna noise canceller can beat the noise but not 100% and requires very fine adjustments. The PLN is quite strong around and outside the house I made a call to the national Electricity company DEI for this noise problem . The officer in charge insisted that I was the first claiming about it, and supposes it is a local transformer problem or due to possible overload from electrical appliances. (but still exists though we are in cold weather and rain for today ) It is expected powerline communications to start in late end this year by DEIs daughter company Tellas .
