[HCDX] DX Logs - Ralph Perry - 13 Mar
BRAZIL: 9593.0v-.23v, unid. Brazilian but strongly believe Super Radio Deus e Amor in Sao Paolo. First noted as an unid LA, when fading-in at 2236 3/10. Het notchable, OM vy weak with anmts in PP or SS, orchls, but weak signal. Followed to 2257, sig building but not really workable. Retuned at 2230 on 3/12 and rewarded to hear no het this day. Initially only a carrier but sig soon fading in with nightfall in ZY land. Definitely PP anmts and seemed sports/futebol nx show with replay, recorded game clips. Noted EZL / MoR ballads at 2310 recheck when signal better still, but no ID yet. Searched lists at hand and learned that frequency-nomadic Super R. Deus e Amor of Sao Paolo has recently been IDed here by Euro DXers. Cool log. (R Perry, Illinois) COLOMBIA: 5910, the Puerto Lleras xmtr noted with a morning xmsn on 3/12, 1104-1118. Romantic HJ canciones with guitar and accordian. Deep fade cycle, nice at peaks and all but gone at troughs. OM locutor mentioning la radio colombiana but didn't ID relay source (Marfil Estereo or Alcaravan Radio). Need to get to this earlier next time, before propagation path fade-out. But as luck would have it, gh in Enid OK was tuning this just hours earlier and reports that it was a relay of Radio Alcaravan -- tnx for ID! (R Perry, Illinois) BOLIVIA - Radio Lipex, Uyuni, heard with fair sig but blipping ute QRM at 1025 until lost at 1047 on 3/12. Ancr a high-voiced OM in SS and lang (QQ or Aymara?) between Andes-flavored music, with clear mentions of 'Bolivia' and several t/cks for GMT-4. Nice opening this morning to the Andes, with good signals noted when checking the usual suspects: 4700 R San Miguel @1020; 4747 R Huanta 2000 also @1020, 4815 R El Buen Pastor @1040; and 4955 R Cultural Amauta @1045. No show for 6134 R Santa Cruz, tho. (R Perry, Illinois) SOLOMON ISLANDS - 5019.85t, SIBC Honiara, tentative, noted 3/13 1125 tune-in with pretty good carrier level and pgming decipherable mainly when blaring Cuba 5025 in pgm pauses. Sig fading up by 1200 but still nearly unusable. Fragments of orchl and piano music, OM with muffled anmts (intonation and pace at times sounding EE but not readable). Some country music. OM long anmt 1155 to top of hour, with burst of orchl mx. Anmts continued on hr, then orchl music or theme 1202 (almost sounded lika NA, but not sure) and lost 1204. At 1205.30 seems carrier was cut. All I can say is this is a pretty painful way to tune Honiara -- back in the day, they used to come in a heckuva lot better than this . . . ;-)(R Perry, Illinois) - Ralph Perry, Wheaton, Illinois Drake R8B; Eton E1; Hallicrafters SX100; Knightkit Star Roamer Dentron Super Tuner + Ameco PLF-2 + Palomar P-408 Longwires (150' + 100') ---[Start Commercial]- Order your WRTH 2011: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2011 ---[End Commercial]--- Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ ___ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.

[HCDX] DX Logs - Ralph Perry - 8 Mar
INDONESIA: 4750, pres. RRI Makassar (as long reported/listed here). Definitely an Indo here 3/6 at 1115-1202 t/out. Slow orchl EZL mx and II ballads / love songs, YL dj with occasional II anmts. 1131 sounded like nx headline summary, OM and YL alternating brief items. 1136, back into program of 'lagu populer'. At 1159, the old familiar Rayuan Pulau Kelapa theme, an RRI ID on the hr and then, after a pause, the Jakarta newsfeed. Fadey sig, fair but peaking to good, with high noise underlying noise level. (R Perry, Illinois) PERU: 5039.17, Radio Libertad de Junin, heard several mornings this week. Noted 3/7 with fair signal at 1009 with huaynos, echo chamber SS anmts by OM. 1016 anmt: ...Informa . . . hermanitos y hermanitas . . . las cinco de la manana . . . Radio Libertad de Junin . . . Signal building but xmsn suddenly cut at 1030 after OM in echo chamber -- think was xmtr problem. Noted again 3/8 with nice sig at 1046 t/in, OM dj for folklorica pgm, frantic t/cks and anmts over OA mx rifts. Tuned out 1053 during conjunto w/huayno on guitar. (R Perry, Illinois) BOLIVIA: 4699.96, Radio San Miguel, Riberalta, appeared to be cranking up modulation at 1032, from carrier and into programming -- may have just signed on, with OM SS anmts 1034, then into taped echo chamber ad string at 1035. CP mxa folklorica from 1036. Nice signal on 3/8, when a notably good opening to the Andes, a day after the big solar flare. Same time, big signal from R Tarma, Peru, on 4775. (R Perry, Illinois) PERU: 4746.96, Radio Huanta 2000, daily visitor lately in the mornings, with fine OA folkloric programming. Noted from 1042 check on 3/7, with ID at 1051: Amables oyentes, les indicamos . . . al servicio de Huanta . . . Radio Huanta 2000 . . . . Next morning, 3/8, good signal 1015 and booming by 1040. Again, this was the day after the solar flare and hours before the polar / auroral effects were predicted to start. (R Perry, Illinois) BRAZIL: 4885.03, Radio Clube do Para, biggest signal on the band at 1008 3/8 with ballads. OM yelled ID between songs simply, Radio Clube do PARA!. (R Perry, Illinois) BRAZIL: 4865.03, tent. Radio Alvorada, Londrina, the Brazilian here with nice signal at 1023, playing insipid ballads and schlocky pop (e.g. I Never Promised You a Rose Garden, in PP). Couldn't force myself to stay with this fare, too painful to listen and other stations beckoned. Peaking to huge sig at 1045 recheck and, by 1055 recheck, starting to fade down. (R Perry, Illinois) BRAZIL: 4804.98, unid Brazilian, likely Rdif. do Amazonas, Manaus, nx pgm in PP at 1015 check. Taped remote reports. Fair sig, only QRM that bleepin' ute. (R Perry, Illinois) - Ralph Perry, Wheaton, Illinois Drake R8B; Eton E1; Hallicrafters SX100; Knightkit Star Roamer Dentron Super Tuner + Ameco PLF-2 + Palomar P-408 Longwires (150' + 100') ---[Start Commercial]- Order your WRTH 2011: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2011 ---[End Commercial]--- Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ ___ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.

[HCDX] DX Logs - Ralph Perry - 03 Mar 2011
BOLIVIA - 4716.70, R. Yura (aka R. Yatun Ayllu Yura, Yura, San Antonio de Quijarro). Decent opening to the Andes 3/1, noted thru high ambient noise level at 1025. YL tlks with patriotic theme, catching words la libertad . . . importancia . . . la patria . . .. Weak signal in high QRN but caught ID 1033, R Yura . . . las cinco de la manana y tres minutos . . . m.b. dias, amables oyentes . . . Sig fading down by 1040, about as late as I can ever hold onto a 60 meter Bolivian in the Midwest. (R Perry, Illinois) PERU - 4746.97, Radio Huanta Dos Mil, OM dj playing huaynos at 1022 on 3/1, pretty good signal and my clue to hunt for other, more desired Andean stations (see above). Came back to recheck at 1042 and caught nice ID by OM, R Huanta Dos Mil . . . (R Perry, Illinois) UNID - 5019.85, unid station noted 1045 during pause in Cuba 5025 modulation, but rocked by splatter shortly thereafter when Cuba ended brief silent period. YL tlks to the hour, then OM with what sounded like newscast. Couldn't make content out very well at all, but tempo and 'shape' of speech sounded like it could have been English. Would love to hear the Solomons again, after all these years, so will keep watching / working this fqy. (R Perry, Illinois) INDONESIA - 9525.93v (to .96) - Voice of Indonesia. Fair sig poking hole in the band here, and wandering a bit. Was previously on the low side of 9525 and am hearing it better now, in new location above 9525. (Listening in exalted carrier SSB so was tracking fqy, from .93 at 1302 tune-in, up to .96 by 1314 and then back down to .93.) At 1302 EE nx and comment by OM, 1307 musical burst and into EE pgm narrated by YL. At 1314, after orchl burst, This is the Voice of Indonesia... f/by an organ rift, and ID again at 1318. At 1320, rather monotonous sparse gamelan band (very few instruments) gonging away, with YL talking over, in spurts. At 1331, nice ID as she mentioned, Greetings, where ever you are! This is the Voice of Indonesia . . . Then into a local musical program with interesting fare -- music was a capella choral, from the far eastern Indonesian islands -- therefore, a tip of the cap to Voice of Indonesia. It is noteworthy, in this traditionally totally Javanese-dominated country, to see the more far-flung areas getting some respect on the country's international service.

PERU - 4789.92t, R Vision, Chiclayo, tentatively the one here 1106 tune-in on 2/16 till 1125 t/o due to horrendous noise on the bands. Fair sig, news program by OM in SS with lots of remote phone-ins by YL, GMT-5 t/cks matching Peru. 1120 OM ...las seis de la manana . . . programa de noticias . . .. Widely reported in Europe on this precise off-fqy. (R Perry, Illinois) DOMINICAN REP - 6025.06, R Amanecer Int., 1125-1154 2/13, segued mix of schlocky rlg vocals and Christian pops.

(R Perry, Illinois) BRAZIL - 4754.85, R Imadulada Conceicao, Campo Grande, 0950 good sig on 2/15 with OM in PP, echoing over orchl background mx. Live studio ancr followed, mentioning several times Santa Maria (3 times in 5 mins). 1005 tune out.

CHAD - 6165, Radiodiffusion Nationale Tchadienne, N'djamena, good signal 2150-2215 2/7, pleasant African rhythms to 2200 nx and commentary show in FF by OM, with remote feeds by YL and others.

El Buen Pastor, 1050-1110, decent signal and in the clear on 2/5 (ute missing) but noisy. Upbeat nondescript music to 1052 when quick theme burst and OM on top, Radio El Buen Pastor, nuestro programa esta manana . . . t/ck and fqy quote. Into what sounded like brief rlg tlk, mtning El Senor . . . Dios . . . and then MOR orchls at 1102 with another ID over. (R Perry, Illinois) INDIA - 6155, Bangalore, noting this 2/10 and 2/11 with good signal and in the clear, early local evenings. A bit unusual to hear the subcontinent in Illinois at this time, although a darkness short path exists. On 2/11, fqy clear when carrier switched on 0012 and 0015 YL abruptly speaking. Believe this is the Urdu domestic service. 0015.30, chanting by OM, sound like Islamic call to prayer (interesting to hear this on an India xmtr, but a reminder that about 15% of Bangalore population is indeed Muslim). 0021 OM in Urdu and then into subcontinental music. YL singer with subcontinental combo featuring sitar, tabla, etc. Segued to 0029 t/o. Same pattern pgming heard prior day, when noting call to prayer already in progress at 0018, the 0021 anmt and then into Hindi music. Nice signal and just a lot of fun to hear this.

(R Perry, Illinois) CHINA - 6030, China National Radio 1, fine signal 1305 2/12 with what sounded a lot like a Lion Dance performance with clanging symbols, drumming. Into local folk music by small band with local kazoo-like horns, drumming, etc. Seemed live performance. Wonderful listening, nice to play inthe background while typing, etc. (R Perry, Illinois) - Ralph Perry, Wheaton, Illinois Drake R8B; Eton E1; Hallicrafters SX100; Knightkit Star Roamer Dentron Super Tuner + Ameco PLF-2 Longwire ---[Start Commercial]- Order your WRTH 2011: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2011 ---[End Commercial]--- Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ ___ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.

ECUADOR: 4814.96, presumed Radio El Buen Pastor, Saraguro, 1114-1150 on 2/1 . Ute QRM manageable this day. Couldn't snag clear ID but Saraguro presumed the one as everything else fits, including widely-reported fingerprint of precise decimal off-fqy. OM SS with relaxed speech over mild instl mx at tune-in, then over Andes mx folklorica at 1117; echo ads 1121 but hard to read. 1124 studio ancr again, clear GMT-5 time check and into huayno guitar vocals. 1130 another t/ck ...6 de la manana y 30 minutos Holding on but fading down by 1150 t/out. Again at 1119 check on 2/2, but under horrible ute and much more obscured. (R Perry, Illinois) COSTA RICA: 5954.20, R Republica booming in 1/31 at 0010, OM harange in SS against Havana. (R Perry, Illinois) ARGENTINA: 6060, R Nacional, LRA31, Buenos Aires, domestic programming 0945-1034 2/1, national and regional news pgm at tune-in by YL including on-scene reports. OM mentions ...La Manana en Noticias... possibly the name of pgm. 0952 YL t/ck ... de la manana y 52 minutos . . . At 0953 this xmtr changes over to RAE intl xmsn, with IS of chimes sequence alternating with YL and then OM saying R - A - E . . .

(R Perry, Illinois) BOLIVIA: 6134.84, Radio Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz de la Sierra, big beautiful signal at tune-in 0955 2/1. All QRM gone, fqy clear. OM anmts in SS and romantic orchl mx.

At same time, quickly noting other probable OA 60 mb signals coming in on 5039.1 (R Libertad de Junin) and 4824.47 (LV de la Selva) but IDs on all these will have to await another day with more favorable conditions! (R Perry, Illinois) HONDURAS: 3250, Radio Luz Y Vida, San Luis, signal fading up 1135 with chorus and orch in hymn (melody of I Want To See Jesus). Segued light instl mx.

[HCDX] DX Logs - RALPH PERRY - 1/30
ZANZIBAR - 6015, Voice of Tanzania - Zanzibar, aka the former RTZ, well heard 0300-0340+ 1/30, thanks to Ron Howard's tip! Decent African propagation this nite but more importantly, fqy nice and clear other than the awful splatter from 6020. Sig fair to occasionally fading-in to good level. Checked fqy 0258 and could detect carrier but not hear anything -- missed any IS -- but realized about 0300 YL anmts suddenly there, in progress, very muffled. Signal faded up so that at 0301.20 Islamic call to prayer very well heard, muzzein sadly chanting for about 5 minutes with long pauses between verses. 0306 thru bottom of the hour, OM giving speech or narrative, excited at times, either a political or religious exhortation. Quick mx interlude 0316 broke in, and then OM speech resuming. YL with possible news at bottom of hour, also hearing echoey, excited man, possible taped sports report or the like. 0341 orch mx with YL, probably ad. Gotta hand it to the R8B on this one, rig did well: the AM sync detection mode seemed to really pull this out of the mud at times.Never heard Zanzibar on this fqy before and, in fact, had not heard Zanzibar in 30 years, since the days when RTZ hung out on 3339 kHz and Mr. Omar M. Omar delighted in teasing DXers with letters that explicitly non-verified. Again, thanks again for the tip to Ron Howard, the Nomad DXer of the Asilomar Beach State Park! (R Perry, Illinois) BOLIVIA - 6134.77, R. Santa Cruz, 1009-1045+ 1/30, good time to tune as usual 6135 QRM (initially) absent early morning. Sounded like remote newsfeed at tune-in, 1018 brief musica folklorica break and then OM ancr 1019 and into romantic guitar ballad. 1021 local time ck and mentions of . . . boliviano . . .La Paz and musica del campo and then into extremely rustic musica folklorica segment. Yelling/singing women a capella with only percussion accompaniment. 1027 taped ID by OM YL, clear mention . . . Radio Santa Cruz . . . onda corta . . . 1029 ads and another ID 1029.46, into slow huayno-type ballad by OM with accordianlike instrument. QRM coming up at this point and big het, but still able to follow until 1045 tune out. (R Perry, Illinois) MEXICO - 6010, Radio Mil, daily visitor morning and night, heard 1/30 booming in 1035 with OA pops, DJ wishing folks muy buenos dias and formula ID as Esta escuchando . . . Radio Mil, desde Mexico!. Signal holds up well after daybreak locally, heard still hanging in there past 1300 GMT. (R Perry, Illinois) DOMINICAN REPUBLIC - 6025.06, tent. Radio Amanecer, Santo Domingo, 1202-1240+ 1/29, OM SS at tune-in talking about La Familia . . . nuestro salud . . . Republica Dominicana . . . Fair to good sig, very deep fades and lots of side splatter. 1211 mx breaker by OM with t/ck.

Back at 0427 recheck with LA romantic vocals and again, at 0430, YL ID as La Voz de . Can't make it out. There are some reports of a Radio Republica on this precise off-fqy, too, from Costa Rica but too early to say. (R Perry, Illinois) UNID (AFRICAN?) - 4780, 0445-0510, Unid African? Boomy audio. OM anmts at top of hr for 3 mins, then into mainly nondescript instrumental music, but there was one chantlike, very ethnic selection interspersed -- almost sounded like Thai hilltribe type stringed instrument with vocalist. Fair sig at times but rather muffled and couldn't read the lang. Could have even been EE. Interesting one to retry.

QTH:Kabul, Afghanistan RX: WinRadio G303e Ant:100m longwire Hi All, It was just a good night for Indian stations, so I decided to pick the roses before they faded away: 4760 INDIA, AIR Leh, heard at 15.07 on 19 Oct. with good quality signals, but deep fading. Heard several telephone interviews, some traditional music and caught a full station ID at 15.30. I was SO hoping this was Port Blair on the same freq, but I guess that will take some more hard core DXing! 4895 INDIA, AIR Kurseong, heard at 13.38 on Oct. 19th with strong signals but deep and fluttery fading with station IDs, news and commentary and subcontinental music. 4950 INDIA, AIR Srinagar, heard at 13.26 on Oct. 19th, with surprisingly weak signals for 50kW and the closeness compared to other AIR stations being heard. Possible antenna orientation or terrain issues. Heard with IDs, excited talk, call-in show and pieces of music in between features. Signal became entirely useless at 13.44. 73s de Al ---[Start Commercial]- Order your WRTH 2008: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2008 ---[End Commercial]--- Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ ___ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.

Moldova, 6040, Radio Nederland, 2130-2200, This schedule is active from 2100. Noted a number of males talking in Dutch. At 2145, music presented. Noted a parallel signal on 15315 KHz but very delayed. I got two different transmitter sites for this broadcast. The EIBI says Moldova which I like, the WRTH says Grigoriopol, Moldova too while the Passport says various locations. The signal was fair on 6 MHz.

Nigeria, 15120, Voice of Nigeria, 1920-1945 At tune-in, noted African Hilife/Jazz. Between tunes a female comments in English. This must be a featured program because the lady talks about the history of some of the music. This program continues until 1930. A male gives ID as Voice of Nigeria, Lagos. A program about the Nigerian Aviation Industry presented. Signal was good with a little fading.

Re: [HCDX] DX Logs: Jordan 11690
Unfortunately the Shortwave Log encourages list-logging with no moderation. Jordan 11690 has not been reported by anyone else for many weeks. It would be nice to have them back, but is SG aware of this, per Aoki: 11690 CHINA RADIO INTER. 1600-1657 1234567 French 500 308 Kashi 2022 CHN 07600E3930 CRI a08 If hearing French now at 1600 on 11690, one should make very sure it is not CRI. BTW, according to timeanddate.com, DST in Jordan runs from Friday, March 28 to Friday, October 31, 2008, so if and when reactivated on 11690, the transmission should end at 1630 and already be in English by 1600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) --- Jari Savolainen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I wish the Shortwave Log could generate also the location of listener to us all to see.

[HCDX] DX logs from the past night and this late afternoon / early evening
Hello to all of you ! I have noticed excellent high-latitude conditions on the AM broadcast band over the past two evenings: had CKEC a few dozen of minutes earlier on my Sangean CST-818 barefoot wich isn't so good and on my Sanyo MCD-S830 while it was fading down to the mess. Also 980 was very strong, SLIGHTLY weaker than local 990 and I got a domestic with a good signal, slightly OVER remains of nulled CJMS Saint Constant, but didn't stick around for an identification when I finished some work on history today, too early for WHO I think, still you never know. When I tuned beetwen 1040 and 1050 I only got splatter from CJMS/unID domestic-1040 and WEPN-1050, so wasn't able to get Spain on 1044 at all. Also, had WRKO almost local-like on 680, they had to be like this to get through the splatter made by superpest CINF Infos 6-90. It's been a lo-o-ong time, since I hadn't heard WRKO. I wanted to get the RNE outlet in Sevilla. With the ferrite bar antenna inside my Sanyo pointed E/W that reduced CINF signal a bit (and a lot of it's splatter) as well as some WRKO wich is SSE (Boston is South-South-east from Mtl) just distorted overspills from WRKO-680 and CINF-690 and could hear nothing beetwen them and I will never hear anything on this channel untill I'll finally have in my possession the Drake R8B (CINF was still too strong anyway to allow RNE Sevilla to be audible on 684 and I beat the Mark Connelly situation is even worse here at his Billerica location, since the local pest - WRKO - is not 6, but 4 kHz from RNE). However around 0320 UTC, I had the ferrite bar antenna in the E/W direction and had bits of light music with my radio tuned between 580 and 590 - this must have been the Madrid station ! The best time to try for 585 with my relatively modest equipment and inland location should be very shortly before dawn at the transmitter site due to the grayline enhancement. I will try again this Friday since I don't have school the next day (I'll give a try when I'll finish this report, but when sunrise hit Madrid I'll be sleeping though). I think 585 is my best bet for hearing my first TA, since there is nothing extremely strong on either 580 and 590. I even failed to broke my radio, since the highest spot in the house is a furniture wich is large on the E/W direction (and the ferrite antenna since it is relatively small, when my radio is E/W it catche N/S and vice-versa) and very small when I aim the radio N/S (with the antenna E/W) so I had the radio with one side on the furniture and the other one on my hands ! I believed it was the only spot wich escaped local noises, but then I founded another one wich was lower but farther from noisy neighborhood TV sets, etc. but couldn't find any signal then - will try Friday during tx dawn enahancement. Otherwise, I just got back from the car-radio a few minutes ago and the apparent Boston station on 980 along with at least two other stations were rolling over the CKGM-990 local splash. Had WABI, I think (I was talking with my father when the ID was actually given) with network news mixing with maybe another domestic and sometimes tropical music (probably YVRQ, I never heard WLAT in CT wich is also in Spanish), the only SS spot on the dial except for 530. Last night, I had a nice reception of Radio Rebelde on 670 (probably the best frequency for Cuba in Mtl) with no sign of anything other than remains of nulled WSCR (I hope to hear Radio Rumbos again, they were nice to hear with their dorbells in their Notirumbos newscast and their mostly salsa/merengue tropical music) and RVC-530 wich was interesting as if propagation conditions were up in all the directions (but not auroral enough for anything South American). Another interesting experience last night when I briefly tuned to local pest CKAC-730 was Ron Fournier talking about l'antenne de CKAC, about the station getting heard in Quebec City. Then had a phone-in from a listener in Vermont that was on his truck and heard them very nicely especially at night. Ron asked him if he was listening over a satellite or something like that and he say it was on 730 AM. The announcer was surprised but he conceded there some nights when NYC stations were coming (they are there every night unless it's aurora and I consider them pest), then he told him in Cincinnati when he was young in the 70's he could hear the Montreal's hockey team and the Toronto one very clearly. He was even more surprised, then changed the topic and talked sports with the VT listener. I wonder what Ron will say if he learned that CKAC is regularly heard in Scandinavia ! He will be drived crazy ! Before going into this week's report, I should mention that I'm still very tired due tot he cancer treatments and this morning waked up once again around 11 AM, this is very stressing, because the next week I will start over intense chimio treatments with the need to wake as early as 7 AM. Also, when
