[HCDX] Loggings November 4

[Arthur Delibert]

China – 4905 and 4920 kHz – PBS Xizang with poor signal, 22:10 – 22:20.  Music 
and talk by woman.  Parallel to 6130 kHz.

5050 kHz – Beibu Bay Radio heard at 2247.  Very poor signal, but their 
distinctive xylophone IS was audible.

Liberia – 6049.98 kHz – ELWA presumed to be the one here from 20:42 tune-in to 
22:03 tune-out, with Christian sermons in African-accented English and gospel 
music.  Initially poor, but grew to good by the end.  There were announcements 
just past the top of each hour, but if there were IDs in there, I didn’t pick 
them out.  (My ears aren’t what they used to be.)

Re: [HCDX] Loggings 27-30 December

[Wolfgang Bueschel]

I guess this odd fq matter need more investigation on coming days.

Re AIR, mostly Kingsway tx are unstable frequency on upper fq side mostly
Urdu/Pakistan etc. in 7.3 to 7.5 kHz range, up to 2500 Hertz odd fq .

I noted a press release the other month, that AIR ordered already new units
for the Delhi SW sites in future ...

But I noted today Dec 30 FEBC Tibetan half hour earlier 1300-1330 UT speedy
wandered up

11825.670 PHL  FEBC Bocaue in Tibetan-Khams sce - acc Aoki Nagoya database
 list, S=9 in Seoul, but hit heavily by China mainland jamming,
 on even fq. 11825 kHz. At 1309 UT S=8, the Bocaue technicians
 are keen {or was not desired ?} and moved fq upwards 100 Hertz
 step by step to 11826.840 kHz at 1321 UT.
 Wandered 1300 Hertz up-wards within 12 minutes

What's about the other Bocaue outlet 1400-1430 UT
on 11750 kHz ?   Request scheduled

11750  FEBC RADIO 1400-1430 1234567 Lahu 100 305 Bocaue PHL FEBC b17
maybe they are unstable too ?

11828vUNID.   Found a strong OC here at 1417 varying quickly and
drifting as well.  Was able to check on a number of web rxs around the
world and it was noted everywhere.  Went off at 1428:46 w/out any audio
unfortunately.  Must have been someone with a high-powered xmtr.  (See
below)  (Valko 29 Dec.)

mx.  1419:25 clear AIR ID by M and tlk.  Another ID by M at 1429:37.
Discussion by at least 2 men from 1430 until the signal suddenly went off
at 1433:05.  Fair signal w/some QRM from 11830 which was easily notched
out.  I don’t see AIR listed on either 11825 or 11830.  A Youtube video of
the reception can be found by clicking on this link:

5010   PIRATE (NA)   Pirate Radio Newport (relay)  2120-2157 
very good signal w/Rock mx including 2129-2139 “Stranglehold” by Ten 
Nugent.  2140 M anncr w/what seemed to be a full list of songs played in 
the show to that point, and ID, then  LP by The Scorpions.  (Valko 27 
Dec.)


4920   INDIA   AIR Chennai  1228-1229 couple canned anmnts.  
1229 W in hyper-speed mentioning upcoming EG nx.  Deadair, then EG nx by 
soft-spoken M anncr to 1235.  ID by studio W anncr, then subcont. mx.  
Fair.  (Valko 28 Dec.)


5010   INDIA   AIR Thiruvananthapuram  EG nx by soft-spoken M 
1230-1235 could just barely tell it was //4920 and 5040.  (Valko 28

just barely able to tell it was //4920 w/EG nx by M 1230-1235.  (Valko 
28 Dec.)


9809.97  UNID.  AIR Panaji??  Found a signal here with 1 khz test

off at 1416:37.  (See below)  (Valko 28 Dec.)


9809.98  INDIA   AIR Panaji  Weak at 1230 but came up rapidly and 
decent signal in just 5 min.  Indian Pop mx to W anncr in pres. Tamil at 
1240, then deadair for 5 min., and audio back at 1245 w/W anncr and 
canned anmnts in possible Hindi.  Horrible distorted noise in the audio. 
 Audio cut and test tone for 2 seconds, then off at 1254:17.  So this 
was indeed the one with the test tone yesterday.  (Valko 29 Dec.)

6185.02  MEXICO   R. Educacion  Audible at times.  Thought I had 
Turkey in Italian at 1510 but it wasn't sounding parallel to what I had 
on a web receiver in Greece.  The only other thing I could see that it 
could have been was Educacion.  So I tried a web rx in TX, and sure 
enough, it was parallel.  1531 w/W then M in SP on peaks.  W still 
audible on peak at 1546, and M at 1551 and 1556, same as on the TX web 
rx.  Never heard R. Educacion at this time of day before.  Signal 
visible in the display throughout the day even after China came on at 
2000 (Educacion was slightly off freq.).  (Valko 29 Dec.)

 A lot of loggings over the Christmas holiday!!

9650   GUINEA   R. Guinee  Nice lcl Afro mx 1853-1859, deadair, 
then canned ID at 1859:30.  1900 Afro mx briefly, live M in FR w/ID, mx 
bridge, then M w/pres. nx.  Nice signal but wandering band of ruined it. 
 (Valko 19 Dec.)


6940U PIRATE (NA)   Yeti R.  Just caught the last couple min. of 
the bdcst.  2043 “I’m a Believer” by The Monkeys, followed by “Ruby 
Tuesday” at 2044 and “Angie” at 2045 by the Rolling Stones.  2046 M 
anncr in heavy special effect w/anmnt “The ??? FCC.  My name is Yeti.  
This is Yeti Radio”.  Couldn’t ID until someone responded to my post on 
HF Underground.  Fairly good, clear and almost no QSB.  (Valko 19 Dec.)


3325   INDONESIA   RRI Palangkaraya  Found too late, but sounded 
like M anncr at 2315, mx at 2221.  Right at threshold lvl.  Faded out 
just as Palangkaraya should.  Very surprised to find it here and the 
first time to hear an evening Indo in years.  (Valko 19 Dec.)


6942U PIRATE (NA)   Mr. Mayhem R.  ID by M in echo at 2308 t/in. 
 Deadair, then repeating IDs “This is Mr. Mayhem R.” w/pitch getting 
slower.  2309 into Hard Rock mx.  Tuned out at 2310.  Good solid signal. 
 (Valko 19 Dec.)


4764.03  PERU   R. Huanta 2000  2323 Pop song, 2325-2332 live studio 
M DJ w/long tlk, then long ad block 2332-2340  w/abt 1000 ments of 
Huanta.  Phone #’s.  One ad sounded like Quechua.  Canned pgm intro/ID 
by M including other stns in network at 2340 and into pres. regional nx 
by W anncr.  Fairly decent but right on the top edge of a CODAR.  (Valko 
19 Dec.)


6185   MEXICO   R. Educacion  Excellent signal at 2344 
w/Ranchera mx nonstop all the way to 0001.  0001-0003 choral NA, then 
nice full canned ID by W w/freqs and QTH, then back to Ranchera mx.  Abt 
the best ever hrd at this time.  (Valko 19/20 Dec.)


20 December 2017 Micro-DXpedition

6045   CLANDESTINE (SOUTH KOREA)   V.O. Freedom  Getting weak mx 
at 2059 as 6040 VOA Sao Tome signed off.  Gradually getting better 
during the nonstop KR Pops, abt half of which were ballads.  Exc. signal 
by the time of the long anmnts by W over piano mx bed at 2155.  M and W 
anncr in discussion at 2209.  More Pops w/same anncrs between songs.  
Getting blasted by CNR and Evangelizar on 6040 by 2250.  Pulsing jammer 
no match for it.  Tnx to Ron Howard for his continuing 
monitoring/reporting of this.  (Valko 20 Dec. micro-DXpedition)


9930   USA   WTWW  Massive signal w/Christmas mx at 2106, then 
nice canned ID by M w/ment of “…with miles of wires, and thousands of 
volts…”.  (Valko 20 Dec. micro-DXpedition)


9100   CLANDESTINE (SOUTH KOREA)   Echo of Hope  Fairly strong 
w/W anncr in KR at 2109, but of course mixing it up with the UTE here.  
Magnificent signal like a local at 2228 w/M and W in KR w/ments of Kim 
Jong.  (Valko 20 Dec. micro-DXpedition)


6600   CLANDESTINE   V.O. the People   Easily audible over the 
jammer at 2115 w/slow Pop song, but couldn’t get 6520 // as it was 
covered by WLO/KLB UTE on 6519.  2120 opera mx here.  2130+ tlk by M and 
W anncrs in KR.  Still doing well at 2254.  (Valko 20 Dec. 
micro-DXpedition)


6350   CLANDESTINE   Echo of Hope  Barely audible through the 
jamming and UTE at 2115 w/soft mx.  W anncr in KR at 2126.  W anncr 
later at 2210.  Signal had an echo at this time as did 6600 V.O. People. 
 Wonder if I was getting different paths.  Back to mx at 2214.  Too bad 
the jammers didn’t go off.  (Valko 20 Dec. micro-DXpedition)


4450   CLANDESTINE (SOUTH KOREA)   V.O. the People  Barely able 
to hear the M tlking in KR at 2151 amidst the jammer.  (Valko 20 Dec. 
micro-DXpedition)


3480   CLANDESTINE (SOUTH KOREA)   V.O. the People  Sounded like 
the same M speaking at 2152 as on 4450, but the signal was weak and 
QRMed by a strong OC on 3479.6.  (Valko 20 Dec. micro-DXpedition)


3325   INDONESIA   RRI Palangkaraya  Signal wasn’t there at 
2155, so it obviously signs on at 2200.  2159 end of IS but couldn’t 
start the recording fast enough.  Fanfare, then live studio W anncr 
w/clear ID at 2200:00,diring anmnt, Pop-like mx, then canned ID anmnt at 
 2202:40, and live W returned.  More canned anmnts at 2204 w/ment of 
Indonesia, and another mentioning “programa” and Palangkaraya.  2206:20 
short “RRI Palangkaraya” ID, then into ballad song.  Still easily 
audible at 2217 w/ballad.  (Valko 20 Dec. micro-DXpedition)


2850   NORTH KOREA   KCBS Pyongyang  Soft W vcl song, not really 
like the usual opera-like fare at 2207.  Getting some weird rapid 
pulsing wideband QRM here for a time.  Can’t be anything lcl as I wasn’t 
anywhere near anything electrical.  Clear at  but weaker fading 
signal.  (Valko 20 Dec. micro-DXpedition)


9155   CLANDESTINE (TAIWAN)   Sound of Hope  End of fanfare mx 
at 2228, then canned anmnts by W in CH for a min., then tlk by M to 2232 
t/out.  //9180, similar quality signal.

25000 USA   WWV  Despite not having any luck on checks on

experimental reactivation on this freq.  Usual format aired plus they’ve 
been giving this announcement at 16 min. past the hour: “Beginning the 
7th of July 2017 at 2042 UTC, the 25 megaHertz broadcast is on a 
turnstile antenna with circular polarization and will remain in this 
configuration until after the eclipse on the 21st of August 2017.  
Signal reports are requested and appreciated.  Listener reception 
reports may be e-mailed to w...@nist.gov, or mailed to Radio Station WWV, 
2000 East County Road 58, Ft. Collins, CO 80524”.  Audible on the

5915   ZAMBIA  ZNBC  Fish Eagle IS mixed w/fanfare at 0459, then 
ID and EG nx by W.  Ended at 0517 w/manufacturing ad for Zambia Bureau 
of Standards by M, then ID by studio M DJ in vern. and lively Afro Pop 
mx.  Still audible at 0532 w/M DJ came in after mx, and barely w/mx and 
M vcl at 0555.  Fairly readable at start and surprised it was coming in 
this late.  (Valko 25 Feb.)


6120   SWAZILAND   TWR  0458 chime IS and EG IDs by M.  Came 
back later at 0522 and noted M preaching in EG sounding //4775 QRMed by 
CODAR.  6120 better.  Instru. guitar mx at 0528, then W w/segment intro. 
 Fading.  (Valko 25 Feb.)


4885.02  BRAZIL  R. Clube do Para   Massive S9+20 signal at 0539 
w/live ZY Pops.  Poor on the Pardinho web rx and nowhere near as good as 
4895 Novo Tempo or 4905 Relogio, but oddly just the opposite here.  0541 
rooster and "bon dia" jingle.  0544 bon dia and Clube ID promo.  0551 
full canned ID w/freqs and ending w/QTH by M.  (Valko 25 Feb.)


4996   RUSSIA   RWM time station  0609 usual repeating CW IDs.  
Weak but there.  (Valko 25 Feb.)


4989.98   Getting a signal here at 0613.  Too weak to get any audio so 
can't tell if it's Apintie or not.  (Valko 25 Feb.)


4985.01  BRAZIL   R. Brasil Central   "Lucy in the Sky With 
Diamonds" by Elton John. at 0616, and into ZY Pop.  0622 singing ID

9514.96  BRAZIL   R. Marumby  0943 tlk by M in PT.  Usual "Marumby" 
women singing jingle ID at 0946 before going into pleasant PT song.  
Studio M DJ returned at 0950, and back to mx at 0952.  Quick QSB.  
Creating a het as it was off freq, but audible over China.  Oddly, only 
China noted on the Parinho Brazil web receiver.  (Valko 7 March)


7259.95  VANUATU  R.V.  0959 end of song, M anncr in Bislama, 
fanfare, M then W anncrs briefly, usual conch shell blowing ToH 
signature at 1000:41, then W anncr w/nx w/many actualities.  Would have 
been better if not for the lcl QRN on the freq.  (Valko 7 March)


5025.003   PERU  R. Quillabamba  2328 tlk by lady and M anncrs in SP.  
2330 canned anmnt by M w/ID and ment of Cusco, followed by another

Nice signal in absence of Rebelde.  (Valko 7 March)

5915   ZAMBIA   ZNBC/R. One  0310 M DJ in lcl vern. playing Afro 
Pop songs and anmnts between songs.  Great signal on the web rx in 
Pardinho Brazil.  Nonexistant on the rx in South Africa.  0329:20 M 
ended anmnt w/ID and TC "5:29".  0330 W anncr w/rel. pgm segment giving 
Christian EG words every so often.  (Valko 14 Feb.)


5011.3v   MADAGASCAR  R.M.  Was watching from 0210 and it didn’t 
come on by 0232 t/out.  But upon recheck at 0243, found it here playing 
pleasant choral mx.  0253 went into Dance Pop mx.  0257 bubbly W anncr, 
back to mx.  0259 took a quick dive down to 5011.0 but then came back 
up.  Notched out the QRM from 5010.01 Rebelde mixing product.  (Valko 15 
Feb.)


5915   ZAMBIA   ZNBC/R. One  0305 leaving Madagascar came up 
here to find it totally in the clear as Romania had signed off, and 
still no sign of 5920 WHRI.  Fair signal w/M hosting African Pops.  
(Valko 15 Feb.)


11868.4  MADAGASCAR   MWV  Finally figured out who this is.  It’s a 
spur of 11610 Madagascar World Voice.  Also noted the spur below on 
11351.6 as well.  Hrd w/CH rel. pgming from 2106-2143.  Fundamental

journalist in FR to 0951 w/annoying double 'beeps' every 3 seconds.  
Studio M anncr, then another report w/beeps again.  1000 fanfare then 
canned ToH ID anmnt w/several IDs by M, and M w/nx.  Don't usually hear 
Guinea at this time as it fades earlier.  Pres. North Korea underneath.  
(Valko 17 Feb.)


7300   CHINA   CNR1 pres. jammer  1002 nx by W in CH 
w/actualities and occas. breaks, //9500.  Getting an echo here and on

another weak stn underneath presumably stn it was jamming.  Don't see a

off freq.  1012 rel. pgm w/M host in SP w/ments of corazon, Santa Cruz, 
Colombia, gloria de dios, la voz del pueblo, la palabra, and many 
Cristiano.  Into soft vcl song at 1014, then M host returned.  Really 
faded badly, almost complete f/out, but came back up at 1027.  Pgm 
finally ended at 1043 w/outro, studio M anncr giving TC twice, then into 
lively LA tropical mx.  Went off the air suddenly in mid-song at 
:30.  (Valko 17 Feb.)


5875   THAILAND   R.T.  End of VT pgm at 1114.  Usual bells IS, 
M in EG w/ID and lang. pgm anmnt, and several more reps of the bells IS. 
 Good signal.  (Valko 17 Feb.)


3325   PAPUA NEW GUINEA   NBC Bougainville  1122-1143 long 
speech by M w/ments of Bougainville.  1143 brief deadair, and into mx. 
1151 reggae-like island Pop song.  1155 live W w/closing ID anmnt 
"...broadcast on NBC Bougainville." and ment of SW and FM freq, another 
ID, date, and ments of Papua New Guinea, "ogala night", Monday, and 
suddenly off at 1156:55 before she could finish.  Pretty nice signal.  
Not as strong with the Delta Loop but quieter than the Wellbrook for 
some reason.  (Valko 17 Feb.)


5020   SOLOMON ISLANDS  SIBC  1157 usual xmsn ending rel. 
inspiritional segment.  1200 instru. mx and canned EG voice-over closing 
ID anmnt by W "You've been listening to the Solomon Islands Broadcasting 
Corporation, R. Happy Isles.  We have been transmitting on 1035 
kilohertz in the mediumwave band and the shortwave frequency of 5020

for today but we resume transmissions tomorrow morning at 6 o'clock.  So 
until then, from all of us at SIBC, goodnight everyone", instru. NA, and 
signal off at 1202:16.  Despite Rebelde, this was the most readable

5008.3MADAGASCAR   R.M.  Found way down on this freq at 0241 
w/Afro Pop mx.  0245 M anncr.  0247 song sounded like a remake of "Last 
Friday Night" by Katy Perry.  Usually wobbly signal.  Dropped down below 
5008 briefly at 0247, and down to 5008.1 when next song started at 0355. 
 So the freq drops every time there's a change in audio (song to song, 
anmnt to song, etc.).  0300 ment of Madagascar but couldn't tell if it 
was an ID.  Had to notch out the Rebelde mixing product on 5010.  (Valko

4865   BRAZIL  R. Verdes Florestas  Rel. pgm hosted by M from 
1035-1101, nice canned ID w/freqs by M over instru. beat mx, and into ZY 
Pop song.  Decent but modulation always seems a little low.  (Valko1 
Feb.)


6105.33  UNID.  Signal here at 1114.  I couldn't get any audio on it 
and there's QRM from 6105.  I had the signal on 2 ZY web receivers as 
well but no audio there either.  Panamericana??  (Valko 1 Feb.)


11895.06BRAZIL   Super R. Boa Vontade  2208 caught full canned PT ID 
anmnt (w/freqs) by M, but the plug was pulled just before the end at 
2208:37.  Fairly readable and actually better than Bandeirantes and RB2 
above.  (Valko 3 Feb.)


9664.91  BRAZIL   R. Voz Missionaria  Caught a short EG/PT ID by M 
at 0010 “RVM, national(?) Brazilian missionaria radio (then in PT)”.

Jan. and 3 Feb., but later time.  (Valko 5 Feb.)


9510   ITALY   IRRS (pres.)  From 1236 t/in, hrd Rock and 
Alternative mx w/M anncr in EG between songs giving only artists/groups 
European concert venues and times/dates, but nothing else.  No IDs.

as it hasn’t been updated since Nov.  (Valko 5 Feb.)


6065   ZAMBIA   V.O. Hope Africa  Signal noted as early as 2027 
but little audio at that time.  Returned at 2106 and found live M anncr 
in EG w/”We are V.O. Hope radio” ID and voiceofhope.com, and rel. tlk.  
Into rel. Pop-like mx.  2126 M w/ment of 4965 and 6065, phone #, and

tomorrow for more music and ministry from the Word of God", cont. mx, 
then 1800 hz tone, and off at 2201:04.  Good but 6070 CFRX QRM.  Youtube 
video of the reception can be found using this link  
https://youtu.be/cakU_lqX7Kc  (Valko 10 Feb.)


9664.9BRAZIL   R. Voz Missionaria  0016 same short EG/PT ID by M 
as hrd on 4 Feb.  Still looking for that full canned EG ID.  Fair.  
Youtube video of the reception can be found using this link  
https://youtu.be/clcs6oPOkOI  (Valko 11 Feb.)


7550   PIRATE (NA, rel.)  ex: YHWH  Found as early as 0232 
w/usual rel. tlk and many many ments of Yahweh.  At 0302:26, when into 
another pgm, exact same one hrd back on 8 Dec. in the 60mb.  So tuned 
out at 0304.  Quick QSB.  Decent and near 100% copy on peaks, but 
inaudible on fades.  Youtube video of the reception can be found using 
this link  https://youtu.be/vQhr7tbBfOs  (Valko 11 Feb.)


7220   GERMANY   Bible Voice Broadcasting (via Nauen)  0808-0829

Here are most of the loggings from this month so far:

6049.99   LIBERIA   ELWA  Gospel Pop-like mx from 2326.  No sign of 
HCJB.  2336 live M anncr w/happy new years greeting, poss. ment of 
Liberia, “God bless you and Happy New Year to you”.  More mx.  Closing 
anmnt by same M w/”ELWA Radio” ID, then NA and off at 0002.  (7 Jan.)


5950   ETHIOPIA   V.O. the Tigray Revolution  Although the carrier came 
on around 0254, the flute IS didn’t start until 0302.  Fair at best.  (7 
Jan.)


6089.96  BRAZIL   R. Bandeirantes  Found the Caribbean Beacon off when I 
checked the band at 0740 and this here w/tlk by M, although it was a 
little too weak to determine the lang.  But I did hear the usual Kitty 
Cat meowing at 0743, 0744, and 0746.  And at 0748, it peaked enough to 
tell it was definitely PT.  Trailed off a bit after 0800.  (12 Jan.)


7259.96   VANUATU   R. Vanuatu  0754 noted a W tlking, almost able to 
copy.  Same W hrd in Pidgin on the Freemans Ranch Australia web rx.  (12 
Jan.)


7254.94   NIGERIA   V.O. Nigeria  0758 usual drum IS, then W anncr in EG 
w/ID, gave her name, pgm rundown, then ID "You're listening to the 
English service of Voice of Nigeria...", and M w/pgm intro giving 
website at 0800.  Fair signal.  (12 Jan.)


15420   CLANDESTINE   R. Itahuka (via Madagascar)  Big OC came on at 
1757, but went off the air at 1800 just as the pgm started w/Afro Pop 
mx.  Came back on at 1800:35 followed seconds later w/M in mid-anmnt in 
pres. Kinyarwanda w/ID.  Into apparent political feature w/same M and a 
diff. deep-voiced M w/ments of Rwanda and America.  Also had some sound 
bites from remote reporter.  (Valko 14 Jan.)


6000   ARMENIA  R. Adygeyskoye (tent.)  Signal here from the start at 
1925.  Sounded like a W anncr once at 1940.  Maybe mx at 1955.  W anncr 
at 1958.  Signal went off at 2000:03 on schedule.  Seemed strong enough 
on peaks, but modulation must have been really low.  Hrd on a 
micro-DXpedition.  (Valko 15 Jan.)


5790   PIRATE (NA) (religious)  YHWH  At 0303 got an ID sounding like 
"You're listening to station YHWH", then a mention of "...e-mail address 
??WH...".  Rel. tlk w/many ments of Yaweh.  Unfortunately there was some 
noise just on the upper side and I had the tuner bypassed.  Good on 
peaks.  (Valko 19 Jan.)


I had half a dozen or so loggings from this morning to send out but lost 
them when the laptop battery died.  So, from (short term) memory, here 
is what I can recall:


3310   BOLIVIA   R. Mosoj Chaski   Was surprised to find this suddenly 
go off the air as soon as I rechecked them at 1025:22.  Was fairly good 
earlier.  (Valko 25 Jan.)


6134.83   BOLIVIA   R. Santa Cruz  Excellent signal this morning w/usual 
full canned ID in SP by M over instru. mx at 1001, then into lovely 
rustic flute mx.  (Valko 25 Jan.)


6160.04   BRAZIL   Super R. Boa Vontade  Quite audiable at 0916 t/in 
w/live studio W anncr in PT w/ments of "Deus e amor", espirito, and 
Cristo.  Also bon dia.  0917 clear ment of Boa Vontade.  Very rarely get 
IDable audio on this.  CKZN mixing in by 0930.  Although still audible 
at 0945, CKZN way on top.  Hrd the same pgming quite well on the 
Pardinho Brazil web rx.  (Valko 25 Jan.)


11895.08   BRAZIL  Super R. Boa Vontade  Found as soon as I turned the 
rx on at 0906 w/childrens choir, then W host in definite PT.  Faded 
pretty quickly.  Came back later at 1009 (while listening to Gaucha) and 
noted the same studio W anncr as hrd earlier and also on 6160.04 and the 
Pardinho Brazil web rx.  Very fady signal, but sometimes fairly decent 
easily readable on peaks.  Looked like the only stns on 25m were from 
Brazil at this time!!  (Valko 25 Jan.)


11915   BRAZIL  R. Gaucha  Shocked to find this on at 1009-1030 in 
apparent nx pgm w/M and W hosting (mainly M anncr) in PT.  Ment of 
Gaucha near end of ad block just as I tuned in, and again later.  Time 
ticks noted at 1015 and 1030.  Oddly, this was in the clear here, but 
was extremely weak way in the background under Taiwan in IN on the 
Pardinho Brazil web rx.  Seemed to be a negligible 3 or 4 hertz above 
11915.  Having not hrd it in many months, I thought this was either long 
gone or temporarily inactive.  I see one of the last loggings was from 
Manuel Mendez in early October, so maybe it's been off since then.  Nice 
to see it's still around.  (Valko 25 Jan.)

Re: [HCDX] Loggings 20-30 December 2016

[rdangelo3--- via Hard-Core-DX]

Dave,
 
I see that the weather cooperated enough to let you back into the great 
outdoors for several DXpeditions.  Some nice loggings to end the year.  I have 
one quick question about the Zanzibar log.  Was the ZBC English news on 20 
December at 1700 UTC or 1800 UTC.  The time check for 9 o'clock fits 1800 (UTC 
+ 3 hours) although the flow of the log seemed to imply 1700 UTC for the 
English news.  I have tuned several times for the 1800 UTC the English news 
feed only to hear Swahili news instead.
 
73, Rich

Angola. 4949.73 kHz.  R. Nacional.  Station appears to have had difficulties 
this weekend.  For the week ending December 2, it had an unusually strong 
signal every night, as if they had boosted their power and/or added a new 
antenna.  On December 3, it came on the air late, and the signal was quite 
weak.  On December 4, it didn't appear at all.  On December 5, it's back, noted 
at 2325 with a fairly strong signal.  (Delibert, MD 12/5/16)


China.  5050.0 kHz.  Beibu Bay Radio (presumed).  Listings say this station 
signs on at 2300, but I've noted  several nights that it's been on a bit 
earlier.  On December 4, I parked just off-frequency and waited for the het to 
appear, which happened at 2247.  Xmsn started with what I would characterize as 
traditional Chinese flute music for 3 minutes, followed at 2250 with pop music. 
 China-style time beeps at TOH, but announcements were not readable.  
(Delibert, MD 12/4/16)


Zanzibar.  11735.0 kHz.  1758 - 1802. Tuned in to hear a woman in presumed 
Swahili.  At 1759, several mentions of ZedBC, followed by about 45 seconds of 
drumming, time pips (only about 1 second behind actual TOH), and then news in 
English.  BC was close to 100% readable, first time ever to get such a clear 
signal that early in the day at this QTH.  (Only heard their English BC one 
other time, and that was from Martha's Vineyard, where signal levels are 
better.)  I'd like to attribute this to having turned by pennant antennas 
horizontal, which has dropped the background noise considerably, but the 
super-quiet magnetic field of the last few days may also have contributed.

Chinese mx.  6200 should be on as well but nothing there.  Other Chinese 
on 4820, 4800, and had some very weak audio on 4750.  (2 Oct.)






5580.24  BOLIVIA   R. San Jose (pres.)  Weak mx, obviously R. San 
Jose at 2253.  M anncr noted after 2300.  Hrd later after , but only 
a tad better.  (2 Oct.)






5990   CHINA   Qinghai PBS  2304 M tlking in Chinese or 
similar alternating w/Chinese instru. mx on 5990.  Same as hrd on the 
Delhi Perseus.  Got to be Qinghai.  About the same strength as it is in 
the morning.  (2 Oct.)






Looks like hurricane Matthew knocked off WRMI, or they took the 
transmitters off intentionally.  Oddly 6855 is the only freq on though.  
(7 Oct.)






6160.045BRAZIL   Presumed R. Rio Mar on already at 0945.  Quite a 
het created w/CKZN just below 6160.  Had drifted up from 6160.03 to 
6160.045 by 1010.  (7 Oct.)






3274.990PAPUA NEW GUINEA   NBC Southern Highlands  First noted at 
0949 found on the Brisbane Perseus.  //3260 at 0953 w/EG nx.  Weaker 
than 3260 Madang.  Broke away from 3260 at 1001, had what was probably 
an ID promo but I couldn't copy, then played an updated version of the 
native mx w/birdcall (a short fanfare substituted for the native mx) 
signature, then into more NBC nx.  1018 mention of "NBC Radio".  Also 
noted here in PA right at threshold audio level in the 1100-1130 time 
frame.  Sounded like M tlking at 1131 as hrd on the Brisbane Perseus.  
Nice to see this one back on!!  (7 Oct.)






3325 Bougainville was off at 0953 but was on at 1016 check but only abt 
as strong at 3275.  Much much weaker than usual.  (7 Oct.)






On the Brisbane Perseus, found someone on 3210 playing Pop Dance and Rap 
mx in the 1155-1225+ time frame.  A very short sentence by M at 1209 but 
couldn't copy.  Went into a feature at 1221 presented by M anncr in US 
accent EG giving ment of “?? Radio” and a website.  Couldn’t copy the 
word before “Radio”.  No harmonics work out.  (7 Oct.)

Audio just not strong enough to determine the lang.  CODAR QRM and 
heavy thunderstorm QRN made matters worse.  (17 August)

here on this freq in weeks.  (20 August)

2359 w/W mentioning “beautiful weekend” and “New Life Station” ID,

1457:04, pgm start at 1500:04 w/organ then W w/ID “The following

BRAZIL. Radio Rio Mar, 9694.47 kHz, 10:59 - 11:11.  Ad string at tune-in.  At 
TOH, ID and then into apparent news, with male and female anncrs alternating.  
Fair at best, sometimes fading to non-existent.  Local noise kicked in at 
11:11, making further copy impossible.  (Delibert, Vineyard Haven, Mass. 
10/8/15)

ZANZIBAR.  ZBC, 11735 kHz, 18:00 - 18:10.  At tune-in, female anncr reading the 
news in English.  (Didn't realize they had English language news until I caught 
this BC, but now I see that it is listed.)  ID at 18:03 and at 18:07 end of 
newscast; then male anncr in apparent Swahili.  Fair at best.  (Delibert,

Nothing from 4965 R. Alvorada again this morning in checks after 0924.
Haven’t found it the last several times I’ve looked.  (21 August)

already fading at 1004 recheck.  (21 August)

ARGENTINA   6070vRAE   The severely distorted signal jumping and
drifting around this freq is indeed RAE.  Found the signal came on at
0954:47 then mx started shortly later.  Caught a M anncr giving an ID
at 0959, 5+1 long time ticks at 1000, then usual multi-lingual ID
sequence for abt 2 min.  It was just clear enough in AM mode with a
width bandwidth.  Was way up on 6071.3 (roughly) when the signal came
on, down to 6070.2 at 1000, and 6069.7 by 1016.  Posted a video on

BRAZIL   11735R. Transmundial   Surprisingly good signal at 1020
w/end of soft vcl song, then canned pgm intro by M w “Bon dia Brasil”,
and live M DJ over instru. mx w/”Bon Dia”, nice ID, and cont. tlk.
There was an R1 radio blackout with another M class flare just a half
hour previous, so I can’t understand why this would be so good, but
the rest of the band was very poor.  In fact this was abt on par with
11780 R. Nacional Amazonia.  There was almost nothing on 19m.  The
only signal audible was the CRN1 jammer on 14920.  (21 August)

BRAZIL   6160.06R. Rio Mar   Already on at 0938 w/end of tlk by M 
in PT and into pleasant vcl mx.  Surprised this was quite audible at 
this time.  In and out then w/more tlk by M to 0952 pres. soft rel. 
mx.  Fading quickly though.  Was able to // to 9694.65 at 0953 during 
mx.  One of the very rare times to get audio on this.  Youtube video 
can be found at  https://youtu.be/UwONT2uqaU4  (17 August)


UNID.   6070vOnce again, found the distorted signal here coming on 
at 0944:22.  Drifting a bit w/QSB and mixing w/CFRX.  At abt 1022 tlk 
by what sounded like a W anncr.  Too distorted to determine the lang. 
though.  Plainly audible during deadair from V.O. Korea before the IS 
started at 1029 on the “akky” Perseus receiver in Kanuma City Japan, 
and also very weakly on Neils Perseus in Brisbane Australia.  I 
suspect this is RAE/R. Nacional, but it would be way off freq.

[Dave Valko]

BOLIVIA   5952.47   R. Pio Doce   Nice signal at 0029 with the usual

a good R. Santa Cruz at  https://youtu.be/3u1GNcyVhbk  (14 June)


PAPUA NEW GUINEA   7324.96Wantok R. Light   0938 good signal, best 
heard in months w/rel. pgm of local M preaching in EG.  Not just 
religious but political also at 0942.  Too bad it was noisy.  (14 
June)


BRAZIL   9694.7R. Rio Mar   Deadair at 0948 t/in.  0949:58 start 
of soft Pop-like rel. song.  Quick ID jingle by M then W at 0952 
between songs.  Weak audio and lucky to get the ID.  Getting a little 
audio again at 1012 w/rel. song, then W anncr in PT.  Strong signal 
though w/slop QRM from 9700 so had to use LSB.  (15 June)


ARGENTINA   6056vRAE/R. Nacional   Off-freq again at 0954 with 
start of the RAE IS routine.  Strong at t/in but weakening.  Drifting 
down as well and only 1 khz away from 6055 Japan by 1001.  Video at

MONGOLIA   11999.88V.O. Mongolia   Some sort of feature by M and W

ARGENTINA   15344.13RAE/R. Nacional   1208 Tango mx.  1211 tlk by 
W anncr in PT.  Later at 1300, caught time ticks and IS routine 
briefly and SP ID by W.  Weak.  Went off the air at 1530:32.  Signal

Could then hear just bits of audio.  Finally able to recognize EG at 
1848.  Went into the usual IS/ID routine at 1855.  Finally up to good 
level by 2145.  (15 June)


TURKEY   15450V.O. Turkey   Fair signal at 1323 w/W in EG giving

CLANDESTINE   15498V.O. Tibet  Just barely able to hear live 
speech by M in Asian lang. at 1415.  Better on the Twente rx.  (15 
June)


CHILE   12365UCopa America Soccer game  Thanks Ron Howard alert, 
found the Soccer game here w/excited M play-by-play anncr w/loud crowd 
noise.  Ment of Mexicana, Mexico,  Sounded like many short promos by 
the same M during lulls in action.  One ended w/”…AM” at 0111, and 
possible ment of Cooperativa at 0112.  Pretty steady signal.  Video at 
https://youtu.be/Z4k4XnIZDaU  (16 June)


GUYANA   3289.98V.O. Guyana   0848 ID during anmnt by M over 
lively instru. mx in the “Early Bird Show”.  Hellos to the civil

workers again, sunrise at 6:38 and sunset at 6:09, then another 50’s 
song.  0857 inspirational tlk abt the best letters being N, O, and W. 
Hindi mx at 0900.  Nice signal this morning but noisy from lcl 
thunderstorms.  Video is at  https://youtu.be/ouiN4B_8mT0  (16 June)


No Wantok R. Light at 0859 this morning.  (16 June)

UNID.  3230Fady signal here but did get tlk by M on very brief 
peak at 0906 and 0907:20.  MW harmonics don’t work out.  Wasn’t in 
long enough to check // to poss. 3185 WWRB.  (16 June)


UNID.   3150Definite M in SP at 0911 on peak which was quite 
readable.  More audio at 0914, and 0915:35, but not as good.  Freq is 
a Harmonic of 1050 and 630 but only EG domestics hrd there.  (16 June)


BOLIVIA   3310R. Mosoj Chaski   OC already on at 0847.  Pgm start 
at 0901:12 w/ethereal Andean instru. mx, then instru. folk mx 
w/Rooster crowing and M giving opening anmnt in Quechua starting w/”Mosoj 
Chaski…”.  0902-0904 CP instru. NA.  0904 more instru. folk mx w/same 
M anncr voice-over w/ID, freq, ment of Cochabamba, 
www.mosojchaski.com, e-mail, mailing addr, and ending w/nice “Mosoj

BRAZIL   5965R. Transmundial   M tlk in PT at 0925 t/in.  MOR vcl 
song at 0927.  W anncr mixed w/mx at 0929.  Sounded like a canned ID 
by M at 0930, then W again.  Getting nasty slop-over QRM from the 
jammer on 5980.  Was able to // webstream at 0936 which was about 43 
seconds behind.  Rarely hear this outlet.  (16 June)


BRAZIL   11749.5R. Nacional da Amazonia   Horribly distorted 
massive signal centered here and splattering QRM all over the lower 
25mb.  Had to tune in FM mode to copy, but still severely distorted. 
A Voz do Brasil nx w/M and W anncrs in PT from 1003 t/in.  Many ments 
of Brasil, Sao Paulo, etc.  Many soundbites.  At 1030, gave ID for “A 
Voz do Brasil” and mentioned R. Nacional Brasilia and R. Nacional da 
Amazonia.  Later found it was indeed // 11780.  Still going after 
1100, but the CRI signal was on 11750 making it more difficult to 
copy.  I was too late to confirm a // to A Voz do Brasil webstream. 
Video is at  https://youtu.be/KUNQNIyqmAk  (16 June)

15064.92PIRATE (EUROPE)   Shortwave Papa   2207 w/”Thunderstruck” by AC/DC 
followed by another, then another Pop song, and off at 2215 w/out any anmnt.  
Was in the chat as shortwave_papa_15065, so obviously him.  Fairly decent on 
peaks.  (24 May)



4055   GUATEMALA   R. Verdad   Nothing on the freq by 0940, but did 
catch the last rep of the midi IS at 1001, then long choral NA, and 
multi-lingual IDs including EG.  Really good signal for 800 watts, per Dr. 
Madrid who says they just got back on the air.  They’ve been off for a while 
due to another lightning strike.  (28 May)



6089.96  BRAZIL   R. Bandeirantes   0918 pres. nx pgm by M and W in PT 
mixing just about equally with NHK R. Japan.  Japan finally off at 0930 and 
Bandeirantes // to 9645.4 where nice canned ID was noted.  Much stronger than 
6089.96, but QRM from CNR1.  Youtube video at  https://youtu.be/hV68Ida0E30  
(28 May)



9505   SUDAN   R. Omdurman/SNBC   Regional vcl mx at 1851.  W anncr at

again at 1926 and 1929, mx briefly, W anncr w/very short anmnt, and off at 
1930:40.  First time to hear audio let along get anything here in a long time.  
(28 May)



4747.564PERU   R. Huanta Dos Mil   Found OC here at 0845.  But there were 
also spurs of the carrier out 2.777 khz on 4744.187 and 4750.341, and also the 
harmonics as well.  Never seen that before.  (30 May)



11999.875  MONGOLIA   V.O. Mongolia   Per Ivo, found on this NF in EG at 0900, 
but just missed s/on.  Apparent nx and features.  Could only copy a few words 
like Pakistan, 50,000, and India, etc.  Played occas. pleasant mx.  A little 
better by 0928 w/English lang sked at 0929, website given, letter request 
w/mailing addr., then into the usual IS.  (30 May)



5952.42  BOLIVIA   R. Pio Doce   Signal came on the air at 0959:04 in long 
mid-ad/promo block including a nice promo with the Pio Doce male chorus at 
1004.  Into what may have been the “Pio Doce Contacto” pgm.  At least the 
anncrs sounded the same.  But they were playing mx after 1030.  Good signal 
this morning.  Clear with just a little noise.  Youtube video at

[HCDX] Loggings for the last week, 2015 May 8-14

[Dave Valko]

15590 CLANDESTINE (TAJIKISTAN)   R. Free North Korea   Signal already 
on at 1229 and start of the usual soft instru. BBC mx prior to xmsn.  1230 
immediately into R. Free North Korea w/instru. mx and pres. voice-over opening 
anmnts by W in KR, fanfare, and into feature by what sounded like the same W 
anncr.  Poor, but up to fair on very brief peaks.  (8 May)





15630 CLANDESTINE (BULGARIA)   R. Ranginkaman (Rainbow)   Signal on the 
air at 1553 and pgm start at 1600 w/opening by W in Farsi w/sked and ment of 
“kilohertz” and ending w/what sounded like a website.  Immed. into tlk feature 
by M.  Mx at 1607 for a short time.  W over Classical piano mx at 1613, then 
into another tlk feature w/nice peaks.  Went off at 1630.  Heavy deep QSB and 
mixing w/co-channel Greece which was weaker for the most part but was on top 
when Ranginkaman faded.  In fact the Greece IS could be hrd equally briefly at 
1600.  Made for a tricky reception.  Also slop QRM from 15610 WEWN blasting 
away.  Glad this finally added a higher freq.  The lower freqs in the 49 and 41 
mbs during the day are imposs.  (8 May)





9545   SOLOMON ISLANDS   SIBC   Found here again at 0945 w/island Pop 
mx, ad block, W anncr, Reggae song, 1000 promo w/ments of SIBC, usual calliope 
ToH signature at 1001, then M w/EG nx starting w/ID.  W w/more nx to 1025, then 
back to mx.  Came back at 1153 and still there w/QRM from 9550 China.  Usual 
inspirational message feature leading up to s/off, cut off for canned closing 
ID anmnt by W, NA to 1202, deadair, then at 1205 audio came back w/Pop mx which 
Hasagawa stated was relay of Wanton FM 96.3.  Hrd occas. anmnts and ads but had 
faded and too difficult to copy.  Very gradually getting weaker and finally 
lost audio at 1410, but the signal was still there to at least 1630!!  Mauno 
said it went back to SIBC/R. Happy Isles at 1900, and that it was back on 5020 
at 2000.  (11 May)





No sign of 3290 V.O. Guyana this morning.  (13 May)





4824.93  BRAZIL   R. Cancao Nova   0827 end of ZY Pop rel. song, then 
Rooster crowing, TC, and canned anmnts to 0830 starting w/poss. ID/promo, ments 
of Brasil, Sao Paulo.  0830-0833 live M anncr w/ment of Sao Paulo, Santa Maria, 
Fatima, Corazon, etc.  0833 Rooster and TC again, then back to mx.  Live studio 
W anncr.  0838 W w/ment of what sounded like “…radio telecomunicao….”, and also 
ment of Sao Paulo, Brasil, and partial e-mail “…nova.com”.  Found // to the (R. 
Cancao Nova 96.3 FM) webstream at 0848 w/”Maria” song.  Webstream was 1:07 
behind.  Rooster and TC again and another song.  0851 W anncr tlking w/M guest 
giving many ments of Fatima.  Glad to finally ID this.  S.F.= 163, A Index = 
15, K Index = 6 with G2 geomagnetic storm.  (13 May)





4810   PERU   R. Logos   OC on at 0851:00, and long choral NA start at 
0853:25.  0856 M w/ID and freq, then canned ID w/call, another short canned 
anmt, and live M w/speech briefly and into beautiful rustic flute mx.  In the 
clear w/out the UTE on, but ever-present CODAR QRM.  Poor signal amid 
geomagnetic storm.  (13 May)





3290 V.O. Guyana found back on the air at around 2350, but very weak.  Much 
weaker than 3320 Sonder Grense.  (13 May)





3290 V.O. Guyana very weak at 0945 check this morning.  Must be running low 
power again.  (14 May)





2899.75HUSA   KWHW, Altus OK (2X1450 harmonic)   Found w/reasonable audio 
at 0946.  0947 end of wx by live M anncr giving temp and ID as high of 83. 
 That's the forecast on ?? Country KWHW.  The word before Country is 
possibly Pure per its given slogan, but I'm not 100% sure.  Went into a CW 
version of “Crazy” by Aerosmith then.  More CW songs followed.  Seemed to go 
over 1000 ToH w/out ID, but it seemed there was one later around 1003.  Its 
listed as only 668 watts.  This 2nd harmonic would put the fundamental on 
1449.877.  That's quite a bit off freq.  I don't see anything there.  Surprised 
to ID this.  (14 May)





4810 Logos in the clear at 0955, but not very strong.  (14 May)





7259.94  VANUATU   R.V.   Caught the usual conch shell blowing signature at 
exactly 1001:00, then into pres. nx by M.  Better than it has been lately but 
not good enough to copy.  (14 May)





e-QSL in from DP07 Seefunk from Reiner Dietzel in 1 day.  Filled out an actual 
hard-copy QSL, then sent a picture of it as an attachment to his e-mail.  (14 
May)

[HCDX] Loggings and Reception Video Links

[Dave Valko]

SRI LANKA   9720   SLBC   1114 signal sudden on, then brief drum IS, time 
ticks, opening anmnt by W in pres. Tamil, and into mx.  Weak but there.  (1 
August

MYANMAR   9730   Myanma R.   1105 incredible strength and thought it was CNR 
back on this freq again, so tried to // but found none.  By the time I came to 
the realization it was actually Myanmar, it had already dropped down.  Was way 
down by 1120.  Probably the best heard this year.  (1 August)

USA   17775   KVOH   1515-1529 Frecuencia al Dia DX pgm in SP w/many 
recordings of stns including R. Tarma, and mentions of other OA stations 
including R. Cultural Amauta, R. Chaski, and R. Quillabamba. SP ID at 1529, 
then into pleasant Ranchera mx pgm w/host Lorenzo Martinez who gave his name 
and many KVOH IDs and QTH as Los Angeles CA.  Also ment of Internet website.  
Not very strong and quite a bit of QSB.  (1 August)

PIRATE (NA)   6950U   R. Gallifrey Intergalactic   0008 Dr. Who theme, then 
instru. ethereal mx.  More mx w/breaks in between songs.  Sounded like there 
was SSTV at 0037 and off at 0039.  Nothing came up on the SSTV decoding.  
Recorded the audio, slowed it down and copied what seemed to be code but it 
just turned up jibberish.  Very strong.  (2 August)

USA   7505.24   WRNO   0058 full ID by M, then another ID by different M at 
0059 w/freq. email wrnora...@mailus.net, addr in Ft. Worth TX. (record)  Into 
New Years rel. mx pgm The Haven.  Very good signal and nice audio, but off 
freq as usual.  (2 August)

PAPUA NEW GUINEA   7324.96   Wantok R. Light   End of what may have been the 
Unshackled pgm at 0955, then studio W anncr giving the pgm contact info, and 
China came on and ruined one of the best receptions as of late.  (2 August)

PERU   4774.92   R. Tarma   Signal popped on at 0958:34, some deadair, then 
surprised to hear the Windows XP opening theme melody at 1000:35!!  A little 
more deadair, then start w/full canned ID anmnt by M w/freqs and calls and 
contact info, into mx pgm.  Only fair and very noisy.  (2 August)

MYANMAR   9731   Myanma R. (pres.)   Off freq and barely audible.  Just voices 
here and there after 1108, then mx pgm from about 1114.  Couldn't detect the 
usual them mx at 1129 but there was mx.  W anncr then at 1130, and gone at 
1130:50.  So it must have been Myanmar.  Nowhere near as strong as it was 
yesterday on 9730.  (2 August)

CLANDESTINE   15550   R. Dabanga   Found here at 1528 mixing w/WJHR.  Since 
WJHR is in USB, Dabanga was audible in LSB w/usual singing ID jingle.  Both 
stns about equal.  (3 August)

USA   7555.033   KJES   0157 children singing then repeating something in an 
almost screaming manner.  0159 girl w/usual ID and QTH, then spiritual readings 
by W with group repeating.  Good signal but UTE QRM.  (4 August)

BRAZIL   5999.99   R. Guaiba   018 discussion by men in PT, 0024 ad block 
starting w/poss. ID, then definite ID at 0025:05.  Adj. slop QRM from 5990.  (6

MALAYSIA (SARAWAK)   9835   Sarawak FM   1014 studio W DJ anncr in BM and 
into rom. SE Asian song.  W again at 1024 w/ID, tlk, and another ID at 1025 
before going back to rom. mx.  Apparent canned promo/ID by M over mx at 
1031, then immed. back to mx.  Has been off for a long time due to fault in 
a transmitter transformer and in the antenna per e-mail Ron Howard got from 
the stn.  (29 May)


BOLIVIA   6024.97   R. Patria Nueva   Discovered that the stns webstream was 
1:26 behind the live audio.  Accounting for the delay, I was able to hear 
one of the three Patria Nueva IDs during the promos at 2359:37 despite 
V.O. Vietnam (Albania) playing music and splattering over.  Also heard ment 
on El Mundo.  But the other IDs just didn't make it through.  (7 June)


BOLIVIA   6024.97   R. Patria Nueva   1000:20 canned ID by W before the next 
hour of nx.  The morning reception here has been QRMed by Marti and the 
jammer on 6030, but the evening reception is clear in the half hour before 
Marti comes on 2330- (China fades out).  (9 June)


PIRATE (EUROPE)   6220   Tip  Elvis   0014* closing anmnt by M, part of a 
song, then off.  Confirmed in a chat this was Tip  Elvis and 500 watts. 
(15 June)


BRAZIL   5990.07   R. Nacional da Amazonia   0835 end of ZY Pop song, then 
deep-voiced M anncr taking phone calls.  Bom dias.  Tlk w/ment of Parana, 
Sao Paulo, Puerto Alegro.  Back to more Pops at 0847.  Fair signal // 
tremendous 6180.01.  (17 June)


AUSTRALIA/ROMANIA   15399.973   HCJB (via Australia)   1057 Heard w/EG and 
CH rel. pgm (M speaking in EG repeated in CH by another M) over R. Romania 
Int. which was on 15400.  You could plainly hear the 27 hz het created by 
the 2.  Romania was ending their FR program, went off the air, and came back 
on weaker w/apparent EG program.  (17 June)


CLANDESTINE   15430   R. Free Sarawak   Came on with a false start briefly 
at 1046, then on at 1050 and audio up at 1052 w/mx.  1100 hrd the usual sign 
on w/IDs and website easily copied.  Only fair signal though.  (17 June)

GERMANY   6095   The Mighty KBC   1000 ad over ToH but could only copy it in 
between words from 6090.  1014 in the clear w/Pop mx, but was fading.  
1017-1025 long tlk over mx by M in DT w/many ments of info.  Back to mx then. 
 Still in at 1043 w/Pop mx.  Went off at 1100.  (26 Nov.)

BULGARIA   11610   R. Shorouq (via Bulgaria) apparently  Mistakenly thought 
this was coming on at 1700.  Just caught the end of OC at gone at 1656:16.  
Signal seemed strong enough for an ID.  I'll have to wait until Mon. for the 
next xmsn.  (27 Nov.)

UZBEKISTAN   7470   Open R. for North Korea (via Tashkent)   2055 heard the 
same whistling melody and presumed closing anmnts by W in KR.  Weak.  It might 
actually be half decent on a good Asian day.  (27 Nov.)

SOUTH KOREA   6250   Echo of Hope   2057 surprised to find a good signal w/tlk 
by M in KR // to much weaker and UTE QRMed 6348.  2058 pgm outro by M and W 
over mx, then 2059 brief Gregorian chant-like choral singing and canned anmnt.

weakly and seemed unjammed, but was jammed at 2102 check.  (27 Nov.)

NIGERIA   6089.85   R. Nigeria, Kaduna   2103 poss. nx by M w/many sound bites 
of M tlking including a ment of Kaduna at 2104.50 and Nigeria at 2110 and three 
very clear R. Nigeria, Kaduna IDs in 30 second from 2110:25 to 2110:55.  
Fairly strong and readable.  Glad to finally ID this.  (27 Nov.)

NIGERIA   9689.89   V.O. Nigeria   2113 M anncr w/apparent end of the nx in 
Hausa, then usual native wind instru., and same M cont. w/feature including 
ments of Washington, Libya, Benghazi, and United States.  2118 end of press 
feature, native instru. again, then another feature w/ment of Addis Abbaba and 
Jeda, and R. Nigeria.  Good.  Off-freq as always.  (27 Nov.)

BELARUS   6150.76   R. Belarus (spur)   Playing what sounds like a Pop song at 
2158.  2200 possibly 1 tone, then a fanfare and M anncr, mx bridge and M 
returned.  2203 W anncr noted too.  Still going at 2221 w/pleasant mx.  Mx at 
2231 recheck.  Still no better by 2245.  Weak but definitely here.  Not there 
at 2347 check.  Upon rechecking the recording, found the other spur on 6159.25 
w/severe QRM from CKZN.  Thought for a while it might be R. Taiwan Int.  Thanks 
Wolfgang Bueschel.  (27 Nov.)

INDONESIA   9680.05   RRI Jakarta   2217 Koran at their sunrise, then back to W 
anncr at 2219.  (27 Nov.)

CHINA   4850   Xinjiang PBS   2354 Pop-like Blues song, then W anncr at 2355, a 
couple canned anmnts, then W returned at 2357.  Lang. sounded like RS, no doubt 
Kazakh.  More Bluesy mx from 2358-0002.   5+1 time ticks while the song 
cont. 0002 canned W anmnt over mx.  (27 Nov.)

UZBEKISTAN   6260   CVC/The Voice Asia   0004 beautiful Hindi mx. Usual 
rapid-paced W and M anncrs in Hindi.  God bless and one point.  Played a 
block of canned promos, then a diff. M anncr taking phone caller wishing her a 
good morning.  Took another call, then another song, and M again w/another 
call.  Good signal and as good as abt 2 mo. ago when it was best ever.  
Incredibly even stronger at 0227 check peaking over S9.  0230 long canned Hindi 
anmnt by M over mx w/The Voice ID.  0233:15 whispered ID during anmnts.  
0234:10 nice EG ID jingle.  (28 Nov.)

TAJIKISTAN   4765   Tajik R.   0035 Arabic-sounding flute and vcl song. 0037 
brief Arabic-like string mx and W anncer then back to mx w/heavy percussion at 
0039.  0043 again played the Arabic-like string mx signature briefly and W 
studio anncr returned, and more Arabic mx.  Arabic mx right to 0100, then 
fanfare, brief anmnt by W and M anncrs, and choral anthem to 0102.  Noticeably 
better on the Wellbrook.  (28 Nov.)

INDIA   4800   AIR Hyderabad   Overtop CNR at 0100 w/subcont. mx.  (28 Nov.)

INDIA   7270   AIR Chennai   0111 nice clear signal w/lively subcont. mx, 0114 
mx faded and M anncr w/pgm closing in apparent Sinhalese, then pleasant 
subcont. instru. mx w/chimes added, and off.  Best ever on this freq.  (28 Nov.)

IRAN   6100   V.O. Islamic Rep. of Iran   End of Bangla pgm w/M giving mailing 
addr at 0119 as ...Bangla Program, Radio Tehran, Post Box number 6767, Tehran 
19295, Islamic Rep. of Iran and another diff. P.O. Box.  Fair w/adjacent 
QRM.  (28 Nov.)

TAJIKISTAN   7245   V.O. Tajikistan   0157 OC. 0158:37 audio on w/instru. mx 
flute prominent.  0200 four time ticks mixed w/the instru. mx.  0200:28 start 
of bombastic choral NA to 0202:15.  Then fanfare w/pres. ID anmnt by 
alternating M and W in Tajik, and echo anmnt by M over mx.  Lively instru. mx 
and voice-over tlk by W to 0204.  Arabic style mx 0205-0210.  0210 mx bridge 
and W returned.  0211 some sort of short jingle or intro w/dramatic mx and M 
saying Watch Out, then same W returned past 0213.  Best ever here but already 
fading by t/out.  Unfortunately there was awful Ham QRM right on the freq over 
ToH, and adjacent QRM from China on 7250 to 0200.  (28 Nov.)

ETHIOPIA   6110   R. Fana  0257 usual 

[HCDX] Loggings from 9-15 September

[Dave Valko]

MEXICO   6010   R. Mil (pres.)   Went off at 0336:58.  Was wobbling again about 
+/-4 hz.  (9 Sept.)

COLOMBIA   6009.98   LV de tu Conciencia   Had a double carrier 10 hz above the 
main from about 0130 check.  No doubt about it as it was mirroring the main 
signal as it drifted.  It started weakening and breaking up around 0310 and 
disappeared completely by 0314.  This is one of the strangest signals on the SW 
bands.  (9 Sept.)

AUSTRALIA   4910   ABC Tennant Creek   1001 on here this morning not switching 
over to the 120mb channel.  End of Pop song and M anncr w/song anmnt.  Request 
phone number.  1028 ment of nx coming up, pgm previews and goodbyes 1029, 
canned promo, 1030 fanfare and ABC nx ID by W and said nx.  ABC Local R. ID 
promo at end of nx at 1035.  (9 Sept.)

PERU   5023.94   R. Quillabamba (tent.)   Getting the carrier here at 1008.  I 
could hear a M tlking at 1011 when I notched out Rebelde but there was way too 
much splatter QRM.  (9 Sept.)

AUSTRALIA   2485   ABC Katherine   1015 end of Pop song and M DJ host w/song 
anmt and phone number again, //4910, and 4835.  (9 Sept.)

MICRONESIA   4755.5   The Cross   1027 The Cross R. ID w/pgm name.  Decent 
signal but really noisy.  (9 Sept.)

PAPUA NEW GUINEA   3384.994   NBC East New Britain   Found a little bit low at 
1046 w/W anncr in native dialect.  (9 Sept.)

PAPUA NEW GUINEA   3364.983   NBC Milne Bay   Also off freq at 1047.  
Bougainville was right on 3325, but Madang was on 3264.995.  (9 Sept.)

AUSTRALIA   2368.48   I see a signal on this freq at 1050, probably Symban, but 
way to weak.   (9 Sept.)

BELARUS   11730   R. Belarus   2100 nice signal today with audio a little 
stronger than usual.  2100 ID by M in EG then feature.  The speed of the tlking 
seemed fast.  Faulty tape machine??  2109-2111 contact info and sked anmnts.  
Abt 100% copy.  (9 Sept.)

BRAZIL   4875.51v   R. Difusora Roraima (reactivated)   0037 anmnt but couldn't 
copy, Reggae-like ZY Pops.  Signal came up well at 0042. 0044 couple words and 
another song.  0048 short canned anmnt, then live M DJ in PT.  Back to mx at 
0052.  Caught the full ID w/freqs at 0106.  At times when the signal would 
peak, it didn't seem as distorted.  Was up tas high as 4875.65.  Some QRM from 
occas. UTE bursts just below.  (10 Sept.)

SRI LANKA   11905 SLBC   0131 ID and website.  (10 Sept.)

CHINA   7315   CNR1   1036 while watching the band, I saw a signal pop on here 
for about 10 seconds, tuned in immediately and hrd M tlking in CH.  Checked 
other freqs and it seemed // to CNR1.  Was just here for that short period of 
time not to return.  (10 Sept.)

AUSTRALIA   4910 ABC Tennant Creek   1028 here again this moring, failing to 
switch over.  Good signal.  (10 Sept.)

MAYNMAR   6165   Thazin R.   1104 mixing with and audible w/usual SE Asian Pops 
slightly under CNR6.  (10 Sept.)

MYANMAR   5915   Myanmar R.   1145 tlk by W in Burmese definitely not // 
5985.78 which also had a W tlking but at much higher-pitch.  5985.78 went into 
mx at 1146 while tlking continued on 5915.  5985.78 much clearer and a bit 
stronger than 5915 which was getting splattered by 5910.  (10 Sept.)

SOUTH KOREA   9570   KBS World R.   1156 usual oriental IS w/IDs by M.  (10 
Sept.)

BANGLADESH   15105   Bangladesh Betar   1231 opening EG anmnt w/pgm rundown by 
W, usual subcont. mx intro and M w/nx.  Best heard in quite some time.  (10 
Sept.)

TAIWAN   7379.94   Sound of Hope   Signal of CNR1 on 7280 was already on at 
1054 when I tuned in.  Then the Sound of Hope signal came on.  At 1055 the CNR1 
signal increased in power.  At 1100 exactly, both stns started pgming.  The low 
60 hz het was audible.  (10 Sept.)

BRAZIL   6104.75v   R. Filadelfia   Signal came on at 0952 and drifted down as 
usual.  Getting some audio at 0955 w/ZY Pops, brief canned jingle at 0956 and 
more mx.  But there was fading and there was just too much CNR1 QRM.  (11 Sept.)

CHINA   6105   CNR1   While passing through, I noticed there was EG at 0950.  I 
quickly calibrated the Perseus, came back, and there was no audio.  Just an OC. 
 Maybe they pumped in EG pgming to test the audio prior to 1000 s/on.  At 1004, 
I did hear a long sound bite of speech by W in EG seemingly abt China and human 
rights.  Maybe they played this soundbite at 0950 for a test of the audio.  (11 
Sept.)

SURINAM   4989.99   R. Apintie   0858 drum IS, then instru. NA, what sounded 
like a long ad in Sranan Tongo by M, then lively instru. Jazz mx w/voice-over 
opening anmnts by live studio M DJ including a nice ID w/Paramaribo QTH and 
ment of FM stereo at 0900:35 and cont. tlk.  Jingle by W and into usual MOR 
instru. mx they play every morning.  Surprised this was coming in steady as it 
was quite fady just a half hour earlier.  Best heard in a while.  (12 Sept.)

PERU   4789.88   R. Vision   0923:05 nice clear strong short ID by M.  0925:40

[HCDX] Loggings from 15-23 July

[Dave Valko]

CHINA   9820   Beibu Bay R.   Have noticed that every day they come on about 15 
min. before the start of the xmsn (0945) w/OC for abt a min. then go off. (23 
July)

SEYCHELLES/U.K.   12095   BBC (Seychelles and Woofferton)   1958 end of World 
Business Report pgm, promo, then off at 1959:29 revealing the OC of BBC 
Woofferton.  Power increased at 1959:46, then TC at ToH, fanfare, ID and 
Newsround beginning w/birth of Prince William and Duchess Kates baby boy.  
(22 July)

OMAN   9760   R. Sultanate of Oman   2359 came on the air, usual ToH routine.  
(22 July)

CLANDESTINE   6003   Echo of HopeFinally in the clear without jamming for 
once.  1010 alternating tlk by M and W in KR.  1016 very brief soft choral mx, 
presumably ending the feature, then another feature w/more tlk by M.  1023:55 
choral singing again briefly, then Korean mx w/poss. pgm intro by M then W, 
followed by tlk by W.  1029 dramatic orchestral mx w/same W outro, then pres. 
ID by same W over choral mx again.  1030 easy traditional Korean songs w/brief 
anmnts by M.   Pretty steady to 1100 ToH, then faded.  Even when V.O. the 
People is unjammed, this has always been jammed.  Wish I would've been there at 
the 1000 ToH.  (21 July)

UNID.   4709.99   UNID.   This was already on at 0706 when I woke up.  Without 
doubt this is stronger using the Wellbrook, contrary to what I thought at 
first.  Not visible in the evenings either.  Hrd daily and first hrd on the 
16th.  Not San Miguel or Yura.  Not Suroriente as it doesn't come on until 
around 0945.  I can't figure this one out.  Being on so early suggests a ZY.  
But it doesn't fade out till after 1000 which indicates western S.A.  And I get 
ZYs better on the Delta Loop, but this is better on the Wellbrook.  (19 July)

SINGAPORE   9740   BBC (via Singapore)   1000 bells IS, time ticks, ID and nx.  
(19 July)

INDONESIA   9680.05   RRI Jakarta   Indo Pop mx w/M host at 0914 t/in.  Many 
stn promos w/IDs from 0919-0924 including one w/ments of life style and 
family at 0921. More Pops and same M anncr.  After more promos, audio 
suddenly dropped out for nearly an hour from 0933:46 - 1028:12.  Resumed w/pgm 
already in progress.  Must have been having technical problems.  (19 July)

CHINA   9820   Beibu Bay R.   What sounded like a CH/EG health PSA at 1024, but 
I could only get a few words because of lcl static noise.  Good signal at BoH.  
Unfortunately it faded by 1100.  Still was able to hear the TC and FM ID.  (19 
July)

OMAN   9760   R. Sultanate of Oman   On prior to  this evening.  Usual Big 
Ben chimes, then ID by M in AR, and nx headlines.  Good but modulation a little 
low.  (20 July)

INDIA   6155   AIR Aligarh   0020 M w/Koran in the Urdu service.  0022 M anncr 
then.  Fair signal and over 6154.915 R. Fides which was slightly weaker.  
Usually Fides is better.  (19 July)

UNID.   4709.99   UNID.   0955 song that sounded like a Ranchera.  1001 generic 
LA song w/booming vcl by M.  Faded really quickly after that.  (18 July)

INDONESIA   9525.9   V.O.I.   1022 EG nx feature by M w/ment of V.O. Indonesia. 
 1057 W w/canned website URL anmnt.  (18 July)

THAILAND   8743U   Bangkok Meteorological Radio  1032 end of info by M in Thai, 
and into IS.  1034 M again in Thai w/ment of broadcasting, and kilohertz.  
IS again at 1038, then W w/EG ID and info in mechanical voice at 1039.  Even 
though the IS was clear, the voice was difficult to copy.  Back to IS at 1042, 
then M again in Thai.  1050 IS, 1051 M in Thai.  IS stopped in mid-repetition 
at 1100 as the xmsn ended.  (18 July)

COLOMBIA   6010.21   LV de tu Conciencia   0917 same EG/SP rel. pgm hrd once 
here last Winter.  W tlking abt having to go down to Colombia to see how the 
money was being used in case the Canadian government looked at their books!!  
Then she corrected herself saying that wasn't the real reason she went down.  
(17 July)

BRAZIL   5939.88   Voz Missionaria   0940:10 mailing addr by M anncr over soft 
mx.  0942:10 full canned ID by W ending w/singing ID jingle.  (14 July)

RWANDA   11800 Deutsche Welle (Rwanda relay)   Signal on at 1959:12, then end 
of promo, double time ticks, W w/ID in EG and nx intro, then M w/EG nx.  Poor 
to fair, //11865 also Rwanda but a little weaker.  15275 good.  (14 July)

FRANCE   11830 AWR/The V.O. Hope (via France)   2000 signal on and EG ID by W, 
and pgm start in FR.  (14 July)

BRAZIL   6000   R. Guaiba   2329 tlk by M in PT w/many ments of Sao Paulo.  
2332:40 definitely ment of Guaiba strongly emphasized at end of sentence.  
2334:30 break for nice ID promo, then right back to M anncr.  One of the 
tougher ZYs and not heard in a very long time.  Glad to finally get an ID on 
it.  (14 July)

BRAZIL   4894.93   R. Novo Tempo   2336 rel.-sounding mx.  Brief anmnt 2340, 
then a soul song.  Live M DJ w/ID and 2342:15, and ID jingle 2343:10, live M 
w/ID, short singing jingle, back to soft mx.  0028:40 another canned ID by W.  
Pretty good signal w/CODAR QRM.

[Arthur Delibert]

AUSTRALIA -- 4835 kHz -- noted at 11:50 with male voices in conversation; at 
TOH, female anncr and pop mx.  Decent level, but getting too much splatter from 
4840 to be readable. (Delibert, Maryland, 3/3/13)


MICRONESIA -- 4755.1 kHz -- The Cross, heard with music from 11:27 tune-in; at 
11:29, female anncr with clear ID in English mentioning 88.5 but not the 
shortwave freq, and back to music, which continued until automated s/off just 
before 12:00.  Assuming they're still running the listed 1 kW, their sig 
propagates remarkably well, often audible here when others aren't.  Maybe a 
good seaside antenna?  (Delibert, Maryland, 3/3/13)


UnID -- 4995.0 kHz -- Station first noted 11:22 with a sermon in 
American-accented English.  Poor, and faded to nothing by 11:40.  Only listed 
station here at any hour is R. Andina, and I don't think they're on the air at 
all (and I don't recall that they were right on 4995.0 when they were on the 
air).  Checked 9990 kHz to see if this was a sub-harmonic, but nothing there.  
Also checked some of the bis U.S. religious BCers to see if they were in 
parallel, but nothing similar heard.  This was on both the NRD535 and NRD515, 
so I don't think it's an internal mixing product of the receiver, but they both 
have the same IF scheme (70.455 and 455), so I guess it's possible.  If I hear 
them tomorrow, I'll be prepared with a radio that has a different IF scheme. 
(Delibert, Maryland, 3/3/13)

[Dave Valko]

BOLIVIA 6184.81 R. Santa Cruz Strange things going on overnight. Continuous OC 
noted from 0309. Audio/pgming noted on only even numbered hours. 0402:08 audio 
suddenly up w/pleasant LA Pop song, not in progress. 0409 canned ID promo by W. 
Was OK in USB avoiding 6130 BBC, but then 6135 BBC Ascension came on at 0427. 
Perfectly clear then at 0459 when both BBCs off. But audio cut off in mid-song 
at 0502:38. 6135 BBC returned at 0530 in Hausa. Audio brought back up on Santa

ANDAMAN ISLANDS 4760 AIR Port Blair Tlk by W anncr at 1159, sounded like a 
canned anmnt, then 1200 brief anmnt by W, then same instru. subcont. mx hrd on

headlines for 2 min., mx bridge, W again, and 1204 M anncr. (17 Feb.)

TIBET 4820 Xizang PBS //7450 in Mandarin w/tlks by M and W, some soft instru.

BANGLADESH 4750 Bangladesh Betar The 2 Chinese and Makassar were in the clear 
when Bangladesh went off at 1205:55. Came back on at 1212:55 and audio 15 
seconds later. Really nice at 1216 w/subcont. mx. Went off again at 1217:20, 
only to return at 1228:05. (17 Feb.)

PERU 4747.07 R. Huanta Dos Mil 1030 pleasant OA campo mx, then studio W DJ, and

MALAYSIA 7295 Traxx FM 2335-2355 Morning Zoo pgm w/hosts Kevin and Isabel.

w/opening anmnts w/ment of radio. 0301 into Koran going past 0312. Just fair 
signal w/CODAR QRM. (20 Feb.)

UGANDA 4975.97 UBC Radio Suddenly on in mid-pgm at 0301:40 w/canned anmnt by M 
and W in discussion. Brief mx bridge, then live studio M anncr w/greetings 
including date given. W anncr then joined in. Just fair and modulation not as 
good as it was on the 15th. (20 Feb.)

DJIBOUTI 4780 R. Djibouti Surprised to find this on late at 2235 w/speech by M 
mentioning Somalia and Zanzibar. Ending w/clapping. 2240 into funky HoA vcl mx. 
2241:45 W anncr starting w/what sounded like R. Djibouti ID. Long period of 
deadair from 2242 until the signal went off at 2256:53. (20 Feb.)

MICRONESIA (PONPEI) 4755.53 The Cross 1155 Christian Pop mx. Started another

PAPUA NEW GUINEA 3904.998 R. New Ireland (pres.) 1200 audible this morning and 
noticed it was just a few hz below 3905. Looks like 3904.998. Island Pop mx, 
then pres. nx by M. Sound bite from speech at 1209. Hams about .5 khz below 
came on at 1211 ruining reception. 1212 brief mx bridge, then tlk by diff. M 
but imposs. with the Hams. (22 Feb.)

INDIA 9809.972 AIR Panaji 1220 found here off freq mixing w/CNR on 9810.003. 
Pleasant subcont. mx then tlk by M at 1222. Gradually got really strong 
according to the Perseus display (wasn't listening at the time or recording). 
Also looked like CNR went off and VOA Saipan came on 9810.03. Will have to 
check this again. A busy freq at this time. (22 Feb.)

INDONESIA 6125.18 RRI Nabire (pres.) Found on late this morning. 1146 soft mx

A few items worth mentioning --

ANGOLA -- 4949.75 kHz --  04:57 - 05:12.  African hi-life music at tune-in.  
Just before top of the hour, male anncr with ID for Radio Nacional de Angola 
and list of freqs.  4 time pips, and possible mention of __ horas.  Then 
canned ID by male voice with music and flair; lots of bom dias, and into what 
seemed to be a news feature program, with man and woman anncrs passing it back 
and forth with reporters in the field.  Poor to fair, but best in many months 
of trying to chase down a positive ID from this station.  As Glenn noted the 
other day, the modulation on this station has improved a lot in the last month 
or so.  (Delibert, Maryland, 2/13/13)  

CHINA -- 4750 kHz -- Qinghai PBS -- Was listening to this one on the remote SDR 
at Twente, The Netherlands, at 22:00 today and noted that the ID at top of the 
hour is in both Chinese and English, with male (Chinese) and female (English) 
announcing local AM and FM frequencies. (Delibert, Maryland, 2/17/13)   

MICRONESIA -- 4755.5 kHz -- The Cross? -- I've noted a het and weak audio on 
this freq running til at least 12:00 each morning for the past 2 weeks (except 
a couple days I was out of town), so it may be that this station is running a 
more consistent schedule now. (Delibert, Maryland, 2/17/13)   

MYANMAR, 5985.8 kHz -- Myanma Radio presumed to be the one here signing on at 
23:00.  First 2 minutes obliterated by station on 5990, but then piano music, 
female announcer in Burmese or similar language.  Male and female anncrs to 
10:15, then music.  Poor sig, soon lost in the slop. (Delibert 2/16/13)

good, other times gone completely. Gone most of the time. Guess it could be a 
harmonic of 1210 or 880. Not heard since. (1 August)


ANGOLA 4949.75 R. Nacional Angola Surprised to find this modulated at a respectable 
level. 0013-0016 studio W anncr interviewing M on phone in PT. More sound bites to

Hi Dave,
No, that would be 2 x 4840 = WWCR, which has the Power Hour on at 07-10 UT M-F. 
If it`s extremely strong on 4840, might be receiver-produced overload? But 
could also be transmitted.

Dave,
Aoki does list CNR1 jamming on 12085 at 1000-1100 since June 26. No other 
possible target than VOM which has Chinese at 1000-1030 before the English. 
Looks like retribution, for Mongolia allowing R. Free Asia to broadcast via 
there in Tibetan on 7470 and 17730, per Aoki. VOM has only two Mandarin 
broadcasts to its big neighbor, 1000-1030 on 12085 and 1430-1500 on 12015: is 
that one jammed too?

ERITREA   7190   V.O. the Broad Masses of Eritrea   Suddenly on at 0306:21 w/local

TUNISIA   7275   RTV Tunisia   Signal on at 0352:54.  Pgm start at 0357:48 w/piano

ETHIOPIA   7234.2v   V.O. Peace and Democracy (via R. Ethiopia)   Big signal on at 
0342:40.  Funky instru. HoA mx start at 0357:37.  Another song, then M anncr in lcl 
lang. w/echo opening ID anmnt w/ment of Eritrea (Air-a-try).  Different M anncr 
then w/poss. ment of meterband. 0402 brief drums, then more tlk.  Getting QRM from 
DW 7240 the entire time, but listening in LSB eliminated the QRM.  Signal started 
out on 7234.063 drifting up to 7234.239 at 0400, 7234.312 at 0415, and 7234.400 at 
0434:27 s/off.  So it drifted up 337 hz in the 52 minutes it was on the air.  (23 
July)


UNID.   4810   UNID. LA   per Bob Wilkner tip, tuned this in at 0947 and found M

ment of Selva, then possibly el aire, cuidad, and maybe ID as Radio 100 (FM 
relay??).  1001 soft Pop-like mx.  Another song at 1004.  M anncr at 1008, then M 
live preaching to at least 1022 when fading.  Apparently a rel. stn.  Unfortunately 
there's local noise on the freq, plus a horrible UTE just above, and also CODAR. 
Maybe its R. Vision back on and up here instead of ex-4790??  (25 July)  Subsequent 
e-mail from Bob says its R. Logos, Peru.  R. Logos from Bolivia was on 6165 and 
then 4865 4-6 years ago.


VATICAN STATE   Got a raindrops and Goodbye.and thanks! f/d QSL for the very last 
EG lang. broadcast from R. Netherlands Worldwide on 15495 via Santa Maria di

[Dave Valko]

AUSTRALIA   Got a nice, quick, QSL letter back from Gary Baxter at the ABC for 4835 
VL8A today. Said 4835 is on trial from 0830-2130 UTC. The xmtr QTH is 13 km south 
of Alice Springs. (3 July)


SUN   The geomagnetic field has been disturbed the last few days. Solar Flux is up 
to 163 today with R2 radio blackouts. There have been 9 solar flares the last 3 
days including 5 just today!! (4 July)


BOLIVIA   6134.82 R. Santa Cruz   Nice clear canned ID by W at 0037 t/in, then tlk 
by M w/ID at 0037:40, and into pleasant Tropical LA mx. Another ID by the live 
studio M anncr at 0042:10 at end of song. Incredible strength!! Some pulsing UTE 
QRM unfortunately. Pio Doce was pounding in as well. (5 July)


UNID.   5015.19   Just a carrier here at 0046. A little stronger by 0109 but still 
no audio. (5 July)


COLOMBIA   14950.78   Must be that new Colombian Larry mentioned. 0049 carrier, but 
did have audio about 15 minutes earlier. (5 July)


UNID.   6155   Two signals here at 0054; one on 6155 even, and the other on

MALI   5995   R. Dif. Du Mali   Guitar IS 0658, M anncr in what sounded like FR, 
brief mx bridge, then tlk by M. Strong signal but very low modulation, slop QRM 
from 5980, and very noisy conditions as well. (5 July)


CLANDESTINE???   15725   V.O. South Sudan Revolutionary R.???   Extremely weak 
signal from 0655. Could just make out tlk by M at times. Long impassioned tlk by M 
0725-0742 when a little stronger, what sounded like some mx at 0742, then off at 
0743. Just too weak to determine lang. Unusual s/off time may indicate it was this. 
Nothing else sked on this freq at this time though. (5 July)


COLOMBIA   14950.75   Salem Estereo   0756 soft LA rom. mx, then nice clear canned 
ID anmnt by 2 men at 0759:45, and into Ranchera song. Another canned anmnt at 
0805:10 but no ID this time. 0809:30 again but fading and more difficult copy.

UNID.   15735   UNID.   Someone here fading in and out at 0815. Tlk by W but 
couldn't get the lang. Gone by 0823 recheck. R. Japan maybe?? Nothing listed. (5

RUSSIA??   15195   R. Tatarstan (tent.)   0846-0854 long tlk feature by W w/sev. 
sound bites. 0854-0856 plain vcl by M. 0856 brief tlk by M and W, then AR-like vcl 
song. M and W returned briefly at 0859 w/what sounded like ment of studio and 
Tatarstan, deadair, then off at 0900 exactly. (5 July)


SUN   There have been 14 flares in the last 48 hours!! At 2105, Solar Flux = 165, A 
Index = 13, K Index = 3. Background X-ray flux is up to C2. R2 radio blackouts

BRAZIL  15191.73+/-, R. Inconfidencia. 01:35 - 02:10. I was enjoying music on 
R. Inconfidencia on the Collins 51J-4, but getting frustrated that the BFO on 
this normally very stable receiver couldn't seem to remain on the carrier.  
Then I looked at the station on the Excalibur Pro and saw that the station 
itself was abruptly shifting frequency up and down in a range from about 
15191.48 to 15191.75.  Just to be sure it wasn't my equipment, I watched WWV on 
15 MHz for a few minutes -- it was rock solid.  Programming was mostly U.S. pop 
vocals with a male anncr in Portuguese (or Brazilian, if you prefer).  Full ID 
at 02:05.  (Delibert 5/21)   
 
SUDAN  7200.00, R. Omdurman *02:31 -   03:05.  Have listened to Omdurman 
several times this week.  S/on is 02:31, not 02:00, as listed in several 
sources.  Koran, commentary (or sermon?), some great music, IDs for Huna 
Omdurman at intervals.  Time pips come at 03:01:15, not at exact TOH.  Then ID 
and into the news in Arabic.  Typically ham radio interference on LSB, and 
sometimes a ham tuning on top of the USB, so have your notch filter handy.

[HCDX] Loggings the Last Week

[Dave Valko]

KAZAKHSTAN   9310  Family R.  Signal came on at 1046:57, and deadair to 1100 when 
usual IS song started. W w/pres. opening anmnts in Ilocano. 1101 fanfare then 
apparent rel. tlk pgm. Slowly getting better and up to fair by end, 1157 w/same 
rel. theme song and closing by W w/Family R. addr in CA. 1200 IS again, then W w/ID 
anmnt in Tagalog. 1201 fanfare, W w/intro and tlk by M (same pgm an hour 
earlier??). Faded pretty by 1258. IS again at 1300, then what sounded like heavily 
accented EG. Fanfare, then M w/ment of world and revelation. Finally went off 
at 1400:04. Nothing from Kazakhstan on any of the other sub-31mb freqs/times. (28 
Feb.)


UNID.   9375  Bible Voice??  Signal on at 1359:55. Seemed strong enough for audio 
but didn't hear any. Went off at 1415:07. Plus splash from 9370 WTJC. (28 Feb.)


KUWAIT  11510  R. Free Asia  1059 instru. mx, 5+1 time ticks, M w/ID in pres. 
Tibetan, instru. mx, then tlk by deep-voiced M. After time ticks at 1200, it went 
off. Not much stronger than at s/on. So no sign of Kazakhstan from 0950-1210 during 
the MD recording. (28 Feb.)


MICRONESIA   4755.47   The Cross  Went off at 1030 in mid-song.  Pity too because 
it was the best its been hrd in a while.  (3 March)


PAPUA NEW GUINEA   3915   R. Fly  Back on.  Hrd as early as 1025 w/weak mx under 
strong Hams that didn't quit until 1115.  Finally at decent level at 1137 w/Bob 
Dylan song.  Island song then.  Poss. deadair 1148-1149, then another island song. 
Audio level seemed to vary from song to song.  Was getting Ham splatter from 3912 
the entire time too.  Nothing but CH on 5960.  Only other PNGs hrd were 3385, 3365, 
and 3260.  Too late to check 7325.  (3 March)


MALAYSIA   9835   Sarawak FM  1201:45 ID by live W, into Koran to 1204, then W 
again, and more Koran 1206-1209.  Pgm of Asian Pops at 1212.  Best around 1210.  (3 
March)


SWAZILAND   15359.65  TWR  Chime IS at 1359, ID in EG by M, into instru. 
middle-eastern sounding mx and tlk by M in apparent sked Urdu.  Nice signal.  (3 
March)


SAUDI ARABIA   9555   BSKSA  2059 end of AR mx, then tlk by M in AR, accurate time 
ticks, ID by M, then into pres. nx in AR.  Good strong signal with a slight buzz. 
(3 March)


GABON   9580   Afrique Numero 1  2101  Quickly moved up here from BSKSA and found M 
in FR w/ID, and into nx.  Good clear signal.  (3 March)


Spent the 1300 and 1400 hours looking for xmsns from Kazakhstan but nothing 
definitive.  Nothing on 9310 at all while Family R. was hrd there on the 28th.  So 
it looks like Kazakhstan can be added to the list of SWBC countries gone.  (4 
March)


UNID.   7560  Family R.?? 1313 Rel. mx, then M in Asian lang.  Not that bad of a 
signal with a bit of lcl QRM.  Gone after 1400.  Family R. from diff. site 
perhaps??  Armenia??  Tajakistan??  (4 March)


UNID.   9380  R. Free North Korea??  A weak signal here at 1319 w/M tlking.  Too 
weak to determine lang.  (4 March)


PHILIPPINES??   12130 FEBC?? Sounded like rel. mx under RTTY at 1324.  (4 March)

UNID.   9440 Just weak signal w/poss. bits of audio. Maybe just V.O. Russia.  (4 
March)


USA   13570  WINB  EG rel. preaching at 1409.  1457 end of rel. pgm and ID by M 
This is WINB, Red Lion, Pennsylvania, USA, e-mail, phone, and ending with You're 
listening to WINB, then more rel. pgmming.  Buzzing audio, but sometimes perfectly 
clear.  (4 March)


U.K.  15245   Polish R.  Warsaw via Woofferton  1422-1429 tlk by sev. anncrs in RS. 
Filler mx at 1429, W anncr, went off for a second or 2, then continued in apparent

[HCDX] Loggings from Barra de Valizas, Uruguay, Summer South Atlantic DX vacation, Jan 2012, by Horacio Nigro

[Horacio Nigro]

GUATEMALA  R. Verdad, Chiquimula, 0124, on Jan 19. carrier, snippets of audio, 
w/m tks, Listen here to an audioclip first in AM mode, then SSB. (NOT much to 
recover). (Horacio Nigro, Barra de Valizas, Rocha,Uruguay)

THAILAND 8743U Bangkok
 Meteorological Radio, 2200 on Jan 10. Tks by w, IS, ann of fq by m, tks by w.  
(Horacio Nigro, Barra de Valizas, Rocha,Uruguay). New one for me, 
Audio at: 
http://www.goear.com/listen/b0d821a/bangkok-meteo-radio-on-8743-mode-usb-thailand

URUGUAY 6074, CXA3 LV de Artigas, Artigas. 1219-1234 on Jan 11. tks by man 
about political issues in Uruguay,ads in long strings, with many of them of 
local origin, also ID as CX118 La Voz de Artigas. Relays MW 1180. QRK 2/3.Hrd 
also on Jan 12, always at midday hours. QSB, local QRN and mostly 
low signal. (Horacio Nigro, Barra de Valizas Summer Vacation DX activity, 
Uruguay)  
Audio at: 
http://www.goear.com/listen/d53d377/6074-cxa3-la-voz-de-artigas-by-horacio-nigro

And besides logging some ham radio operators (FG4NN, Jules, Guadeloupe, on 7 
MHz, 2215, Jan 11, V5/DJ2HD, Namibia, also on 7 MHz, 0504, Ene 13 ) and MW 
Saudi Arabia on 1512 (0123, Q'ran chant , QSB, Jan 18), as well as MW 670, 
Radio Cultura, Santa Vitôria Do Palmar, RS, Brasil, w/nice ID, and which is 
currently obliterating the dominant Mar del Plata station formerly hrd, 
Argentina, I don`t have more loggings of interest from this QTH to report

FYI, this is the sound of line QRN suffered at times with my Kenwood R600 and 
the 100m longwire (on bushes).

MW and lower section of SW, specially during daytime:
http://www.goear.com/listen/75f527c/ruido-de-linea-horacio-nigro
ON SW, AM as well as SSB:
http://www.goear.com/listen/37afd5f/ruido-de-linea-2-horacio-nigro

Regretfully, I couldn`t get rid of it, since I don't have 12V PS to replace the 
CA source, neither can get the antenna away from the nearby powerlines. Within 
the QTH: my order to my family was to not connect cellphone chargers to the 
power at night. When they turned on a Chinese made boombox for music, with 
provision for an USB pendrive, it created a splashing QRN, all over the rx 
range.

Some photos I took from this QTH are here.

but lcl QRM taking over.  0844 same jingle as at 0826.  Stronger audio at 0850 
w/jingle just before Girls Just Wanna Have Fun remake by Cyndi Lauper.  Dance 
remake of Bette Davis Eyes at 0858 going to 0900, and into next Dance song.  
Sweet Child O Mine by Guns N Roses at 0917.  Sounded like more Tropical LA 
Pops at 0955.  Gradually faded but still audible at 1007.  The jingles hrd on 
the website match up pretty well with what I heard.  It would have been much 
easier if not for the horrendous QRN.  (11 August)

AUSTRALIA   2368.5   R. Symban  1007 strong enough to hear and differentiate mx 
and tlk, but that's abt it.  Nice to get some audio though.  A lot of 
thunderstorm static crashes.  (14 August)

PHILIPPINES   15190   PBS  1859 Hrd again w/usual promo/ID anmnt by M w/both R. 
Pilipinas and PBS IDs, followed by long list of network stns by M and W.  Best 
hrd since 30 May, but still not as good.  Heavy fast QSB.  (21 August)

PHILIPPINES   15190   PBS  Went off in mid-song at 1930 today.  No usual ID 
anmnts.  Did hear the ID before at 1913+.  Getting some lcl static-like QRM, 
and also from 15205 slop, and co-channel Inconfidencia 15189.97.  (27 August)

BAHRAIN   9745   R. Bahrain  2204-2257 Nothing but nonstop AR vcls and AR mx.  
Jammed in LSB.  Clearer in USB.  Another co-channel stn came on at 2230 and was 
equal to slightly stronger after 2237.  R. Romania Int. came on at 2257 and 
wiped it out.  May have had this earlier at 1934 heavily jammed then as well.  
(27 August)

SARAWAK (MALAYSIA)   9835   R. Malaysia Sarawak  Lcl Sarawak nx by W after 
1003, ID during nx at 1006.  1010 jingle and back to mx.  Fairly good at this 
time.  Came back later and caught Koran at 1156-1202, then back to mx.  RTTY 
QRM from 9830.  (28 August)

PHILIPPINES   15190   PBS  *1730 caught s/on w/ID anmnts to start, full ID 
w/sked anmnt, ID jingle, then into mx at 1732.  (28 August)

BAHRAIN   9745   R. Bahrain  Hrd on again w/jammer at 0006.  AR mx.  Definitely 
USB +carrier.  (2 Sept.)

SURINAM   4989.98   R. Apintie  A strange mixture of songs after 0907.  
Carnival like song, fast version of pres. NA, then M anncr w/ment of Apintie, 
and W w/spiritual tlk.  0918 M again w/ment of FM stereo and Internet.  Strong 
but very low modulation.  (4 Sept.)

UNIDENTIFIED   6104.74   UNID.  Definite carrier here at 1003.  Too weak and 
heavy QRM from 6105 Asian.  Thought I did hear mx though.  I hesitate to 
suggest the Mexican Candela FM.  (4 Sept.)

UNIDENTIFIED   6075.74   UNID.  Instru. elevator mx at 0917.  Didn't hear much 
more than that.  Splatter from 6090.  (5 Sept.)

BRAZIL   5990   R. Senado  1002 canned freq anmnt by M, then ID anmnt, and into 
pres. nx by W.  Good but fluttery.  Not surprising since there were 2 solar 
flares in the last 6 hours.  (5 Sept.)

[HCDX] Loggings Over the Past Month

[Dave Valko]

Have gotten into the habit of recording DX while off doing other things over 
the last couple weeks and have just now had the time to review them.  Sorry 
if some of these loggings are a bit dated.


GERMANY15225   Baati Rewmi R. (Voice of the Nation by STGDP) via 
Germany  Carrier came on at 1813:55 and deadair.  1815 start of pgm 
w/drawn-out notes on wind instru. and opening anmnt by M in lcl lang.  Poss. 
ID and ment of Gambia but not 100% sure.  Nothing by tlk by M right to the 
end of the pgm.  Same M hrd in their Web audio stream.  Ended the pgm w/same 
wind instru. and off at 1830.  Tnx Brian Alexander logging.  Someone needs 
to go to The Gambia and set them up with a SW transmitter.  (21 August 2010)


BRAZIL??  4974.79   R. Mundial??  0918-0948  Pgm of soft contemporary mx. 
Only 2 anmnts noted, and they sounded like PT.  Fair strength but very weak 
modulation.  Just abt gone and no audio by 0948.  Someone else was on 
4974.91 at 1027 check.  (28 August)


BRAZIL   4885   Definitely 2 stns here at 0950.  R. Clube do Para had tlk by 
M, while E-Z mx was played on the other stn.  4885.02, tlk by M in PT at 
0956 w/ment of Grande.  CODAR getting too strong.  Different M at 1000. 
Fading then though.  (28 August)


BRAZIL   3375.39   R. Municipal  Incredible signal at 1005!!  Ad block, TCs 
w/time ticks, into ZY Pop song.  (28 August)


BRAZIL   2380.34  R Educadora (tent.)  Definite M anncr at times at 1009 but 
too noisy to tell lang.  Sounded like a phone caller over the air.  (28 
August)


ECUADOR   3810   HD2IOA time signal stn  1030 repeated time anmnts w/one 
second between each.  Good.  (28 August)


UNID  4889   UNID.  Just a carrier here at 0930+.  Got stronger towards 
sunrise and didn't fade w/other LAs.  Sounded like some mx at 1058.  Maybe 
an Asian.  (28 August)


PERU   4826.55   R. Sicuani  OC noted at 0936, then campo mx at 0939.  So 
signed on sometime in those 3 minutes.  0942 rapid-fire tlk by M, so fast 
couldn't copy.  Did hear ment of town or province ending in ??bamba.  (29 
August)


BOLIVIA   4795.92   R Lipez  Nice quick short canned ID by M at 0958:30 
during tlk by M and W anncrs.  Recognized the W anncr from last time I hrd 
this.  Another nice canned echo ID by W between songs at 1006, then pleasant 
campo mx.  (29 August)


PERU   5921.29   R. Bethel (pres.)  s/on anmnts at 1002??  Have noticed this 
one has a highly variable s/on.  Sometimes close to 0930 w/long period of 
deadair, and sometimes closer to 1030 in the middle of pgm.  Sometimes isn't 
on the air at all.  (29 August)


USA (ALASKA)   7355   KNLS  1230, End of EG rel. pgm, then W anncr w/ID, 
request to check out their Web site, and mailing addr.  Not very strong 
w/some adj. channel splatter, but there and readable.  (6 Sept.)


AUSTRALIA   2368.49  R. Symban  0921 already getting usual Greek mx here.  M 
anncr w/roomy audio at 0923 but just too weak.  0924 back to mx.  M again at 
0927, then more mx.  Mx definitely sounded Greek at 0938.  Hrd the mx 
throughout till the MD ended at 1055.  Was expecting it to get stronger and 
ID, but it never did.  (8 Sept.)


PERU   5921.29   R. Bethel  signed on at 0934 this morning.  Nonstop mx to 
0955 except for usual W anncr briefly at 1049, then canned anmnts at 0955. 
But alas, no ID.  (10 Sept.)


CANADA  9624.91   CBC Radio One  Randy Bachman Vinyl Tap oldies pgm. 
Caught CBC ID at 0330.  //CBC 91.5 Internet stream.  SW audio was 2 seconds 
ahead.  QRM splatter from 9620.  This signal distorted, weak, and off freq. 
(11 Sept.)


CANADA   6390   NHK/R. Japan via Canada  Mixing product w/6175 and 5960. 
Traditional Japanese mx 0340-0355.  Fair w/QRM.  Of course //5960.  Tnx 
Glenn Hauser for figuring this odd freq out.  (11 Sept.)


PAPUA NEW GUINEA (ADMIRALTY ISLAND)   3315   R. Manus (pres.)  1106 EG rpt 
by M during nx at t/in.  Nx in PD read by W to 1115.  Pop mx including Boys 
to Men or somesuch Rom. ballad.  M anncr at 1122, then more Pop mx.  Think I 
could have IDed at 1100.  Nice to hear this one back on again.  Other 90 mb 
PNGs noted this morning include 3385, 3364.98, 3290 (carrier only), and 
3275.  (17 Sept.)


GUINEA   4899.97   Familia FM  2352-0001*, nothing but current-sounding 
African Dance Pop mx, no anmnts.  The song was either turned down or ended 
(with fade) at 0001, deadair for a minute or two, then off.  Decent strength 
and plainly audible, but like everywhere else in 60 meters these days, CODAR 
was a big QRM problem.  Have sent a quickie FR report w/MP3 of song 
snippets to Laurent Koulemou (Directeur Technique) and Moriba Tavagueze 
Kolie (Technicien Freelance), and Marcel Loua (SW Website Administrator). 
Hopefully a response will come from at least one of them.  (17 Sept.)

[HCDX] Loggings and other things

[Bob Combs]

This morning between 1500-1600 GMT I was listening to what I assume is Radio
Russia (Moscow transmitter) in Russianon 7270 KHz. I did not hear the
standard ID but can only assume it was their transmissions. Signal levels
were 55545 here into Central New Mexico. When their transmission left the
air (or they changed antenna loading for another direction) I heard VOA in
English coming in (34543). The last listing I had showed that as originating
from Germany, but not at that time. There were a couple of other stations in
the background, but not logable for content here.

I don't get on the SW bands as much as I should, maybe 2009 will change
this?

Anyway, Best of DX to all on the list and hope your 2009 brings you the rare
SW station you have been dearching for.

Re: [HCDX] Loggings and other things: 7270

[Glenn Hauser]

Bob,

It`s not clear at what time you heard the change from VOR to VOA, but VOR is 
scheduled to change from Petropavlovsk/Kamchatkiy to Moscow site at 1500, and 
VOA starts at 1500 via Thailand. 73, Glenn Hauser, OK

[HCDX] Loggings and other things.. Corrected

[Bob Combs]

January 2, 2009
It appears that what I was indeed logging this morning from 1500 GMT to 1615
GMT was NOT what I previously reported.
I was hearing Radio Liberty on 7270, as the ID Govorit Radio Svoboda was
heard at the end of the 1500-1600 transmission
block. At 1601 GMT I did hear a very reduced level English ID of Voice of
America (usual male announcer). It appears that the transmitter phasing was
shifted to a new target area at 1600 GMT, hense the loss of signal levels.

Sorry for my mis-information in the earlier post. I am not correct (I
think).

There could have been a very recent change, but I don`t see any VOA scheduled 
on 7270 at 1600; instead BBC in English via Singapore, following R. Liberty in 
Russian via Thailand until 1600; see Aoki. 73, Glenn Hauser

[HCDX] Loggings for Al Muick for 5th October 2008

[Albert Muick]

QTH:  Kabul Afghanistan
RX:  WinRadio G303e
Antenna: 100m longwire

Not too much Dxing in the last two days due to work and a case of Kabul
Belly, but a couple of nice loggings for me on a good European opening.

11720  PHILIPPINES, Radio Pilipinas, heard with Tagalog to the Middle East
on 5th October.  What's helpful with the Tagalog language is that they work
so many English words into it.  Other than that, my neighbor in the
guesthouse is a great Filipino guy and I can always get him to translate.
Surprisingly, only a fair signal, perhaps because of the weird opening to
Europe at the time.  Made me wish for some Red Horse ale.

11735  ROMANIA, RRI, heard in English at 1714 on Oct. 5 with a hearty signal
despite WYFR on 11730 to the Middle East trying to do the mashed potatoes
all over them.  RRI was supposedly at 307 degrees to Europe according to
AOKI.  Again, I seem to have caught the back lobe.  Interesting talk about
Romanian refusing to wear seat belts and new smoking regulations that were
introduced.  I can relate as a cigar smokerI am banned from nearly
everywhere in the US and some European countries now.  I also remember the
Italian T-shirts that came out with a seat belt imprint on them so it would
look like the person is wearing one to the average passerby and traffic
cameras, LOL.

11905  PORTUGAL, RdP International, heard at 1649 October 5th in Portuguese
with a football game and 2 very excited sportscasters.  This is supposedly a
75 degree beam according to AOKI, which leaves me an extremely side lobe or
off the back, but signal strength was excelent and no QRM.  Definitely not
longpath DX either as no heavy flutter or echo.

73s de Al

[Dave Valko]

I apologize for not including the countries in my loggings sent out earlier 
today.  I suppose that's what happens when you awake at 4 AM!!  I think that 
most of you will be able to ascertain the countries that correspond to the 
loggings.  Sorry for the mishap.


Until the next mistake

[HCDX] Loggings for Friday

Colombia,(Harmonic), 3200.13, Colombia Mia, 0945-1012+ Noted steady music 
typical of Colombia.Signal was originally at a fair level but by the hour 
had dropped to threshold.  This station was originally I'd  by Bjorn Maim, 
back in January 2005, as a harmonic from 1600 KHz.  The station being 
located at Crepe, Department of Antioquia, Colombia.  Between 1000 to 1005 a 
female comments in Spanish Language.  Comments could be religious from the 
way they sound.  At 1008 singing is heard from a female accompanied by 
piano.  Signal stayed at poor.  (Chuck Bolland, March 28, 2008)



Bolivia, 3310, Radio Mosoj Chaski, 1012-1025 Noted a female in Spanish 
Language comments until 1013 when music is presented.  At 1017, female gives 
live ID during

comments which I missed, but probably Radio Mosoj Chaski.  Signal was poor.
(Chuck Bolland, March 28, 2008)

Peru, 3329.61, Ondas Del Huallaga, 1020-1030,  With QRM from CHU, noted 
music and
Spanish Language comments from a male.  At about 1028, notice canned 
comments from

a male. Signal was poor during period.  (Chuck Bolland, March 28, 2008)

Peru, 5039.17, Radio Libertad, 1034-1040  As usual the signal is threshold, 
but heard a male
in Spanish language comments during this brief listening period until 1035 
when music is presented.  (Chuck Bolland, March 28, 2008)


Argentina, 6059.95, Radio Nacional, 1040-1100,  Steady Spanish language 
comments from
various persons.  Many mentions of Buenos Aires, and Nacional during 
comments.  Signal was good.  (Chuck Bolland, March 28, 2008)


Malaysia, 7295, Traxx FM, via RTM, 1106-1130,  With a male in English 
language news and sports news until 1110.  At that time a female begins with 
comments.  Later at 1115,  music is heard.  It sounds like live singing by a 
female.  By the half hour, the noise had build to a crescendo making it 
almost imposssible to listen.  (Chuck Bolland, March 28, 2008)



Clewiston, Florida
NRD545,

Note:  Possibly we all have problems with the CODAR signals on 4 MHz, but I 
have
found that using the Beat Canceller(BC) function on the NRD545, just about 
eliminates
this nuisance to a point where ones ear drums aren't vibrating from the 
abuse and listening
to a station is a lot easier.  I set mine to about 19 using the commands 
provided in the operating manual.

comments until
1009 with intermittent canned ID's from a female.  Finally at 1009 music

Peru, 4775, Radio Tarma, 1015-1025,  Very difficult to hear due to the CODAR

2008)


China, 5965, China Radio International, 1030-1040 Various persons in

Peru, 5939.30, Radio Melodia, 1045-1100  Noted a male in Spanish language 
comments.

better this morning. Even so, it's at a poor level.  (Chuck Bolland, March 
27, 2008)



Malaysia, 5964.90, RTM, 1057-1100  Had to wait until China dropped of the

At 1014, female comments after music and mentions Peru.  Signal kept

Malaysia, 6049.68, Radio  Television Malaysia, 1013-1029, with a weak 
signal during the period, noted a male in comments, couldn't identify the 
language however; and noted music typical of the area.  I thought I heard
somekind of chanting around 1026, but could not be certain.  At 1029, HCJB 
comes on the air blocking an already weak signal, which resulted in 
Malaysia's wipeout.  (Chuck Bolland, January 26, 2008)

Peru, 4774.97, Radio Tarma, 1100-1115  Just tuning by and caught a live ID 
during comments as Radio Tarma Then into Huaynos music.  Usual CODAR 
interference on this frequency, but signal was still fair.  (Chuck Bolland, 
January 26, 2008)


4790 KHz Observation.  Noted three different signals on this freq at 1105 
UTC.
1.  Peru, Radio Vision
2.  Indonesia, RRI Fak Fak
3.  CODAR
Still each is readable to a certain extend indicating that condx are good 
today. (January 26, 2008)


Indonesia, 4869.94, RRI Wamena  1112-1130  Noted a male in the tailend of 
Indonesian comments.  He is followed with bridge music and then a female in 
comments.  At 1116 music is presented.  Signal was fair.  (Chuck Bolland, 
January 26, 2008)

China, 4905, People's Broadcasting Station, Lhasa, Tibet, 1118-1130, I have 
a reference in my database that  between 1100-1120, this station broadcasts 
in English.  Although I tuned in when there was just a couple of minutes 
left for English, I couldn't tell if they were actually broadcasting in 
English due to the poor quality of the signal.  Comments continued during 
the period in Tibetian probably? Music presented at 1125.   Signal was poor. 
Checked a few parallels, (4920 and 5240) and found same program.  (Chuck 
Bolland, January 26, 2008)

China, 4950, Voice of Pujiang, Tentative, 1127-1135  Tuned into music here 
followed by Chinese comments.  Signal is very, very threshold and only 
fading in periodically.  Pujiang isn't suppose to come on the air until 1200 
UTC according to Eibi.  (Chuck Bolland, January 26, 2008)

6095 is R. Free Asia in Chinese via Tinian. Nothing listed on 5090, but since
you have an RA image on 5120, your 5090 is most likely also in image of 5990,
another RFA Chinese via Tinian frequency, both jammed by Firedrake.

Receiver-produced image of R. Australia on 6020, minus 2 x the IF of 450 kHz.
You need to look for real frequency 900 kHz higher when you hear something like
this. 73, Glenn Hauser

USA   1640  WPVY987, Clearfield PA (TIS), 2320 short road construction loop

BOLIVIA   6079.97  R. San Gabriel, 0857-1002, Canned anmnts at t/in then 
tlk in Aymara by usual M and W.  On this morning fairly strong and in the

already in progress.  Both stns abt equal then.  (Valko 24 July)

BOLIVIA   6155.07  R. Fides, 0904-0932, Pleasant campesino and Ranchera mx

Brasil, nacional and thought hrd ments of Mato Grosso which had me fooled 
into thinking this was a ZY stn.  Certainly sounds like one.  Hrd BBC IDs 
around the ToH.  Looking at the BBC Web site shows that there are no longer 
any xmsns to Central and South America, and no ment of 6110 on the other 
xmsns, so what's going on here??  (Valko 28 July)

UNID.   4993.43  UNID., Drifted down and found here at 1001 this morning

[HCDX] Loggings from Masset, Queen Charlotte Islands 19-23July

[Walter Salmaniw]

SRI LANKA 15475, 0341-, Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation Jul 20 Wonderfully 
warm programming.  Very old fashioned with wooly audio, and wishing everyone a 
good Thursday morning.  Greetings to listeners in Bangalore, and also Dubai.  
Exclusively western music, including 'I believe in music, I believe in love'.  
S5 to S6 signal with some obvious deep fades, but perfectly listenable, even if 
over 13000 km to Ekala!. (Salmaniw, Masset, B.C.)
 
OMAN 15575, 0349-,  BBCWS Jul 20 Excellent reception with sports report about 
the British Open and the problem with the hot dry weather.  Apparently to South 
Asia. (Salmaniw, Masset, B.C.)
 
BELARUS 11930, 0400-, Belarussian Radio Jul 20 After open carrier, jingle at 
03:59:30, interval signal once at 0400 and ID...not Radio Belarus or 
Belaruskaya Radio.  I thought they said Radio Stalitsa, but it sounds in fact 
more like 'Radio Fax' or the like.  S7 to S8 signal. They mentioned the 
evacuation of Belarusian citizens from Lebanon!  Time check at 04:12 and ID.  
I'm sure they're saying 'Radio Fact' (probably as opposed to Radio Fax). 
(Salmaniw, Masset, B.C.)
 
GREAT BRITAIN 11770, 0419-, BBC Jul 20 Ukrainian service heard at good to very 
good levels with talk of the governmental problems in Ukraine.  500kw via 
Rampisham.  Parallel to slightly weaker 9895 (300 kw Woofferton) and 9560 (300 
kw Skelton). (Salmaniw, Masset, B.C.)
 
AUSTRALIA 2325, 1311-, VL8T Tennant Creek Jul 20 Very good reception with a 
call-in car show.  Nothing on 2310 Alice Springs, nor 2485 Katherine. 
(Salmaniw, Masset, B.C.)
 
INDONESIA 2960, 1318-, RPDT Manggarai Jul 20 A real treat and a regular on the 
dxpedition circuit with female announcer taking calls in Bahasa Indonesian. 
Giggling.  S5 signal a good hour after local sunrise.  Some ham type 
interference.  Not heard the following 3 mornings. (Salmaniw, Masset, B.C.)
 
TAIWAN 9485, 1321-, Shiokaze program Jul 20 Superb reception at S9 + 20 in 
Japanese today with lists of names over piano. Very weak cochannel, but barely 
audible so not a problem.  This went on until 13:26:20 and then into their 
canned ID and information for Shiokaze.  Many mentions of Shiokaze, and Tokyo, 
tampa and kHz. No mentions of email or www that I could here.  Off precisely at 
13:30. (Salmaniw, Masset, B.C.)
See below for their English broadcast on July 21st.
 
INDONESIA 3345.02, 1333-, RRI Ternate Jul 20 Solid S5 to S6 reception with 
standard Indo programming with a lone female announcer and into Indo music. 
(Salmaniw, Masset, B.C.)
 
CHINA 3900, 1337-, Radio Hulun Buir Jul 20 Don't recall seeing many loggings 
from this station.  S5 signal strength with EZL vocals.  Listed in the ILG as 
only 2000w, although DBS shows 7.5 kw.  Sounds more like the former. (Salmaniw, 
Masset, B.C.)
 
INDONESIA 4604.96, 1343-, RRI Serui Jul 20 Nice signal with a male DJ taking 
calls from listeners.  Mentioned 'Timor'.  Answers his calls with 'Allo', and 
'yes' (I think). (Salmaniw, Masset, B.C.)
 
VIETNAM 4739.71, 1347-, Radio Son La 1 Jul 20 Usual distorted signal with some 
days much worse than others, and today is pretty bad.  Local language it seems 
rather than Vietnamese.  Fair to good only. (Salmaniw, Masset, B.C.)
 
INDIA 4970, 1358-, AIR Shillong Jul 20 Inspirational Christian vocal until 
13:59:45 when a female cut-in with the end of the program and ID for the NE 
svce of AIR.  Ad at 14:00.  English programming. Fair only. (Salmaniw, Masset, 
B.C.)
 
SOLOMON ISLANDS 5019.87, 1404-, SIBS Jul 20 BBCWS at 14:04 with ID at fair to 
good level, and international news.  Lots of adjacent splatter, all the way 
from CNR on 5030. (Salmaniw, Masset, B.C.)
 
JAPAN 6120, 1422-, ?RFI Jul 20 Unlisted French transmission with mostly African 
news at excellent strength.  Many mentions of 'we are all Nigerian', Morocco, 
Cape Town, etc.  Radio du Monde mentioned at 14:40, so I suspect this is RFI, 
but my ILG lists RFI in Vientnamese at this time from Yamata.  Transmitter 
location sure fits.  Off in mid-sentence at 14:55 with no announcement. 
(Salmaniw, Masset, B.C.)
 
RUSSIA 7220.43, 1444-, Radio France International Jul 20 English program on 
this off-frequency.  ILG lists Chita in the Russian far east as the site with 
500 kw to Asia.  Some adjacent splatter.  Wonder if this is a punch-up error 
since being so far off frequency is a rarity for Russian transmitters. USB to 
avoid het. Otherwise very good reception.  ID for RFI at 14:49 on 90.3!. 
(Salmaniw, Masset, B.C.)
 
RUSSIA 15260, 1622-, Voice of Eritrea Jul 20 listed in ILG as Thursday's only 
in presumed Tigrinya with impassioned talk by a male.  Fair to good reception. 
(Salmaniw, Masset, B.C.)
 
MALAYSIA 15295, 1624-, Voice of Malaysia Jul 20 Fair to mostly good reception 
in the clear in Arabic.  I recall years ago that this was quite a dx catch.  
They must have been running much lower power then, and were slightly off 
frequency.  Bang on now with listed 200 kw according to ILG. (Salmaniw, Masset, 
B.C.)

[HCDX] Loggings from the Queen Charlottes

[Walter (Volodya) Salmaniw]

Summer (oh well, almost summer) DX is alive and well on the Queen Charlotte 
Islands.  Enjoy the following, and apologies for any errors in advance as 
I've just arrived home.  Receiver used was an AOR 7030+, with a classic 
Beverage N/S and a Beverage on the ground running E/W.  Exciting loggings 
at times!  Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC.

UNKNOWN 999, 1206-, unknown May 18 English religious broadcasting.  HLCL, 
Korea is listed as a Christian broadcaster, but do they do so in English as 
well?. (Salmaniw, Masset, B.C.)

JAPAN 1089, 1222-, JOHB, Sendai May 18 Fair reception of English lesson 
with splash from domestics on 1090. (Salmaniw, Masset, B.C.)

JAPAN 1152, 1228-, JOPC, Kushiro May 18 NHK2 English language lesson with 
discussion about whether Pluto should be considered a planet.  Although 
several NHK2 stations are listed, the Hokkaido station is the most likely. 
(Salmaniw, Masset, B.C.)

AUSTRALIA 1566, 1309-, 3NE Wangaratta May 18 Battling it out with HLAZ, 
Korea.  English variety programming with many mentions of 
Australia.  Sometimes dominating HLAZ. (Salmaniw, Masset, B.C.)

BELARUS 11930, 0357-, Belorussian Home Service 1st Programme May 19 Nice 
reception with open carrier at 03:55 tune-in.  Single interval tone, and 
then in Belarusian ID and news headlines dealing primarily with local news. 
Then weather for Miensk, Brest and Grodno mentioned.  Rain and 15 to 17 
degrees in the capitol.  Minimal het noted.  A good solid S7 
signal.  Presumably the same transmitter that once used 11960 during the 
same time period in the past. (Salmaniw, Masset, B.C.)

PAPUA NEW GUINEA 4960, 1155-, Catholic Radio Network May 19 Reception is 
fair to good with inspirational hymns.  Seemingly low modulation.  Much 
better when rechecked at 13:15 (after my MW dx session), with 'God is 
Watching Us' by female vocal. (Salmaniw, Masset, B.C.)

PAPUA NEW GUINEA 7120, 1157-, Radio Wantok Light May 19 Poor reception with 
Christian vocals, and talk in ?Tok Pisin at 11:57.  No where near as strong 
as the virtual armchair copy when they were first on the air several years 
back!. (Salmaniw, Masset, B.C.)

PAPUA NEW GUINEA 1725, 1215-, GA aeronautical beacon Goroka May 19 Very 
happy to hear this 50 watt beacon at surprisingly very good levels!  I 
don't believe I've ever heard this one, with only KUT 1737 Kutubu being the 
only PNG beacon audible.  It was, but at only fair levels. (Salmaniw, 
Masset, B.C.)

AUSTRALIA 2325, 1319-, VL8T Tennant Creek May 19 Excellent reception of ABC 
programming with a call-in show regarding numismatics.  2310 VL8A Alice 
Springs was not on the air this morning. Parallel to 2485 VL8K Katherine 
was also well heard, with it's characteristic buzzing audio. (Salmaniw, 
Masset, B.C.)

KOREA (NORTH) 2850.05, 1324-, KCBS May 19 Superb reception with very clean 
audio with the usual strident female vocalist, marching to socialist 
victory ;-)  !!!. (Salmaniw, Masset, B.C.)

INDONESIA 2960, 1327-, RPDT2 Manggarai May 19 Fair reception with 
Indonesian talk by a male.  A real mom and pop sounding operation. 
(Salmaniw, Masset, B.C.)

CHINA 3280, 1334-, Voice of Pujiang May 19 Straight 5-5-5 signal with very 
modern programming with many mentions of Shanghai.  At 13:35 a pop song in 
English (I didn't recognize it),interrupted several times by a young 
sounding female.  A real contrast to KCBS, North Korea!. (Salmaniw, Masset, 
B.C.)

INDONESIA 3325.05, 1339-, RRI Palangkaraya May 19 Fair to good reception 
with easy listening Indo music by a female vocalist.  I suspect both PNG 
and Indonesia was very strong this morning as there are several presumably 
PNG open carriers still present on 90 meters. (Salmaniw, Masset, B.C.)

INDONESIA 3344.97, 1342-, RRI Ternate May 19 Good reception with a western 
pop song, which seems a bit odd for an Indo station, but sure enough 
afterwards the usual sing-song Indo voice of a young lady came on.  Akin to 
Filipino to me.  Open carrier at 13:44:45.  Then at 13:45:00 returned with 
more traditional Indonesian vocal. (Salmaniw, Masset, B.C.)

INDIA 3365, 1347-, AIR Delhi May 19 I wonder whether the very strong 
carrier and weak audio is from an open carrier from PNG.  I suspect 
so.  Indian music heard in the background, which would have been quite 
strong if not for the cochannel OC. (Salmaniw, Masset, B.C.)

UNIDENTIFIED 3480.95, 1354-, Unidentified May 19 Good reception, esp in USB 
to avoid a loud het.  I suspect this is Korean.  None of my more recent 
lists show anything, except for a deleted station in the DBS.  Voice of the 
National Salvation,  Wonson.  I suspect this is the same station.  I have 
always been confused over whether or not these clandestine stations beamed 
north or south ever really left the air. Now I'm really confused.  After a 
short musical piece muddy audio by a man and woman.  Perhaps this is one of 
those Kurdish clandestines?  NA or some such piece at 14:01.  Very 
interesting!  NA ended suddenly at 14:02:30.  I have a 

[HCDX] Loggings from the Amazon

[Walter Salmaniw]

My apologies for the tardiness of this report, but hopefully it may be of some 
interest to you as reports from the Amazon and the Galapagos Is. are rather 
sparse.  I spent three weeks in Quito, Ecuador and environs, the Napo River (a 
major tributary of the Amazon), and finally the Galapagos Is during three weeks 
in March.  My listening equipment consisted of a Kaito/Degen 1103 receiver 
(highly recommended!), with a RS wind up antenna of about 5 or 6 meters in 
length.  I recorded many hours (still to be listened to, by the way) on a tiny 
iRiver mp3 recorder which was capable of recording some 70 or more hours of 
time in mono mp3 format.  Pretty amazing compared to the old days of cassette 
tapes, and then MD.  I did occasionally encounter some noise from the mp3 
display, but this was usually alleviated by moving the mp3 recorder away from 
the receiver.  The jungle was quite amazing (radio wise) as it was 
exceptionally quiet, especially during times of no local power.  At our j!
 ungle location, we had generator power from 1800 to 2200 local only, which was 
quite nice.  Although not noticeable for the most part, there still was a 
slight amount of noise during those hours, but still far far less than what I 
experience in Victoria.  It's like going back in time to the days without the 
myriads of electronics that pollute our RF environment these days.  Quito 
generally was pretty quiet in our location as well.  The Galapagos, for the 
most part were a write-off, as being on a boat made it next to impossible to do 
any serious listening.  Hope you enjoy the report.  One day I'll create some 
audio  links to the various stations heard.  Keep your eye on www.dxer.ca. 
..Walt Salmaniw, Victoria,BC.




 BRAZIL 5035, 1030-, unid Mar 16 Again 2 stations listed on 5035.1, Radio 
Aparecida, and Radio Educacao Rural.  Good at times, with mentions of Amazonas, 
so I'm leaning with the latter station as a possible.  Portuguese programming. 
(Salmaniw, Napo River, Ecuador)

BOLIVIA 4409.8, 0315-, Radio Eco Mar 15 A presumed logging, still on in 
Spanish.  My lists showed a 0200 sign off. (Salmaniw, Napo River, Ecuador)

BOLIVIA 4409.8, 0013-, Radio Eco Mar 13 Fair to good reception with muddy 
audio.  Pretty sure I heard an ID for Radio Eco at 0015. (Salmaniw, Napo River, 
Ecuador)

BOLIVIA 4900, 1002-, Radio San Miguel Mar 16 Nice ID, and again at 10:08.  The 
only QRM was from my mp3 recorder, otherwise good reception in Spanish. 
(Salmaniw, Napo River, Ecuador)

BOLIVIA 6155, 2311-, Radio Fides Mar 14 Fair reception with Spanish talk.  I 
sometimes hear this one better in Victoria. (Salmaniw, Napo River, Ecuador)

BOLIVIA 6165, 1044-, Radio Logos Mar 16 I spent some time searching for this 
one.  At 0857 only a Chinese station could be heard.  At this check, indeed 
there was some religious and possibly Spanish programming.  At 10:53 there was 
a clear ID for 'Radio Trans-Mundial'.  At that time, the language sounded more 
indigenous than Spanish.  Perhaps someone with more information about this 
station could shed some more light about their scheduled programs.  An open 
carrier came on at 10:57, but the presumed Radio Logos programming could still 
be heard. (Salmaniw, Napo River, Ecuador)

BRAZIL 3375.1, 0237-, Radio Municipal Mar 15 I was looking for the Peruvian, 
but instead heard Portuguese talk at 0243 and otherwise mostly EZL music.  At 
poor to fair level only. (Salmaniw, Napo River, Ecuador)

BRAZIL 4754.4, 0322-, Radio Educacao Rural Mar 15 Presumably them with 
Portuguese talk, with many mentions of Brasil.  Off in mid-sentence at 0337 
without an ID. (Salmaniw, Napo River, Ecuador)

CANADA 6160, 0857-, CKZN Mar 16 Local CBC St. John's ID and CBC programming at 
fair level.  Not bad at all, all the way down to the Amazon jungle!  Nice to 
hear news from home. (Salmaniw, Napo River, Ecuador)

CANADA 9625, 1203-, CBC Northern Quebec Service Mar 12 Again, interesting to 
see how this domestic service is reasonably well heard way down in Quito.  
Radio One ID followed by Montreal and Quebec weather forecasts. (Salmaniw, 
Quito, Ecuador)

CHINA 17490, 1220-, China Radio International Mar 12 Very good reception of CRI 
with English business news. (Salmaniw, Quito, Ecuador)

COLOMBIA 6010, 1645-, La Voz de tu Conciencia Mar 14 Very good signal in mid 
day with an 'Egglesia Cristiana' ID at 1657. (Salmaniw, Napo River, Ecuador)

COLOMBIA 6010.1, 1558-, La Voz de tu Conciencia Mar 15 Excellent reception 
throughout the day with a slightly overmodulated signal.  One of a handful of 
tropical band and 49 meter band stations heard all day in the Napo jungles. 
(Salmaniw, Napo River, Ecuador)

COLOMBIA 6035, 1605-, La Voz del Guaviare Mar 15 Excellent reception and ID at 
this time in Spanish. (Salmaniw, Napo River, Ecuador)

COLOMBIA 6035, 1650-, La Voz del Guaviare Mar 14 Very good reception with a 
full ID in Spanish.  Local ads for Guaviare at 1656, then ID as 'La Voz del 
Graviare, la

[HCDX] Loggings from this late afternoon and early evening

[aurel chiochiu]

Bogdan Chiochiu
Report from:
4190 Edward Higgins
Pierrefonds, QC
H8Y 3M9

Equipment: Sanyo MCD-S830 w/ internal ferrite bar antenna
 Sangean CST-818 w/ long-wire antenna

1470 unID (perphaps YVSY in Carúpano, Sucre) SEP 10 0015 - very threshold w/ 
Spanish folk music for maybe 4 seconds, then faded out. Shortly after NOS (ME) 
and sports domestics faded-in to briefly fair. Only Latin presence on the AM 
dial tonight if I exclude a note of tropical drum heard on 1080 (very shortly 
before WTIC faded in); the DX was killed by powerline noises appearing at 2100 
EDT (0100 UTC), still going strong as I type this right now at 0150. 
(Chiochiu-QC)

5005 EQUATORIAL GUINEA, Bata SEP 9 2341 - 2300 - w/ back-to-back African music 
(old ones as well as modern Hi-Life one). Break at 2253 with talk in a local 
language with mention of either Banga or Bata then the last tune was played 
until about 2256 when it switched to anthem followed by a few seconds of dead 
air, followed by carrier cut. Mostly poor, faded to fair at times, but become 
good and better during the last song. First time taped ! Nice ! Around 2301, 
just before I tuned to Morocco(Chiochiu-QC)

9575 MOROCCO, Medi Un, Nador SEP 9 2302 - news in AA with liners between the 
items to 2310, followed by the longest AA tune I've ever heard; still going on 
with the same tune at 2356 when blowed away by extremely intense splatter from 
China Radio Int'l via Havana, //6020 (Chinese tx toward Europe). I've already 
heard a very few soft AA songs - probably religious oriented - lasting over 10 
minutes, but this one beats all the records with the exception of the Koran 
chanting I heard on Mauritanie-4845 a few years ago. I believe what I heard was 
a religious oriented tune too. Always nice to listen to this station; it's 
almost pure DX - it's regular, but never extremely strong like BBC-9575 or 
other too easy things. And the music is often really exotic. (Chiochiu-QC)

9840 UNITED STATES, WWL New Orleans, LA via WHRI in Noblesville, IN SEP 9 2308 
- giving phone number, then call-ins from listeners. One of them talked about 
having cell. phone, then woman called in giving a phone nb. (985) 892-2276 for 
emergency followed by announcer talking giving dates on when the schools will 
open, then what sounded like www.sppc.org announced by a woman. Also heard two 
phone numbers, one of them was 1-888-830-3170. WWL ID at 2231 followed by nx. 
One of the items were about NO's residents looking for their pets (...dog, 
cats and even larger animals (!)...) in order to save their lifes. News 
announcer IDed as The Big 8-70 WWL at the end of the newscasts followed by 
ads, then  continuos around the clock coverage of Katrina with phone-in from a 
man in accented english wich speaked very fast. Almost excellent on peaks, 
though faded down to very poor from time to time. Usually good. The reception 
was better when using just the Sangean's telescopic antenna; with the long-wire 
the signal was poorer and suffered from some overloading from extremely strong 
CFAV Radio Boomer powerhouse on 1570 (ex. Radio Nostalgie). CFAV is just a 
very few kilometers from my house and some slight splatter can be heard from 
them as low as 1500 kHz on my Sanyo. CJWI is hard to listen on the car-radio 
(on my Sanyo I can null out some of the 1570 splatter to listen to 1610, 
but...) (Chiochiu-QC)

That's it for now !
Be the good DX stuff with you,
Bogdan

[HCDX] Loggings from the Queen Charlotte Is.

[Walter (Volodya) Salmaniw]

Fellas, I thought you'd be interested in some interesting loggings up here 
on the Queen Charlottes, just to the south of the Alaska panhandle.  I'm 
still learning the lay of the land, and my equipment.  Running battery 
power, with 2 mini-Beverages of approx. 350' each.  One is N/S, and the 
other is towards Australia.  Still working out the bugs, though.  Internet 
access is dreadfully slow in the town of Masset, and intermittent.  The 
days are very long with darkness not happening until after 23:00 local, and 
light is before 0500 local.  Conditions were poor this morning, compared to 
2 days previous.  On a positive note, after dxing this morning, I donned my 
wet suit, and went out into the ocean to catch some big Dungeness crab, 
abundant in these waters (very cold, but nice with the wet suit).  I'll be 
trying for Australia on MW more often, as well as Alaska.  Here is a 
selection of my loggings.  Good dx to you all!...Walt Salmaniw, 
near Tow Hill, Queen Charlotte Is, BC, Canada.

208 ALASKA OYN Nome, Alaska, Jul 3 0508 - Loop broadcast of this NDB at 
fair level stating that the pilot weather briefings are suspended until 
1400Z (0600 local).  Rare to hear these taped loops further south. 
(Salmaniw, Tow Hill, Queen Charlotte Is, BC)

393 ALASKA TOG Togiak, Ak, Jul 3 0511 - ATIS information from presumed 
Togiak, Ak at poor to fair level. (Salmaniw, Tow Hill, Queen Charlotte Is, BC)

580 ALASKA KRSA, Petersburg, Jul 5 06:02 - Local weather, followed by ID: 
'Making a difference, KRSA'.  Very good reception.  Usually heard all day, 
at fair levels, better in the evenings, but with cochannel stations, but 
best during our local mornings with excellent reception in the 
clear.  Mostly religious programming. (Salmaniw, Tow Hill, Queen Charlotte 
Is, BC)

580 ALASKA KRSA Petersburg, Jul 3 14:20 - Excellent reception with 
inspirational Christian music. (Salmaniw, Tow Hill, Queen Charlotte Is, BC)

630 ALASKA KJNO, Jul 3 14:00 - As the morning progresses, and the 
trans-Pacific stations, and mainland US stations fade, I started to listen 
for the more local Alaskans.  First heard was KJNO from Juneau, with 
'Capitol Radio' and KJNO IDs.  Multiple ads for local businesses at 14:22 
including one for 'the sweet sound of a chain saw'.  'Talk Radio KJNO' at 
14:23:30.  Good reception. (Salmaniw, Tow Hill, Queen Charlotte Is, BC)

650 ALASKA KENI, Anchorage, Jul 3 14:29 - ABC news Perspective program at 
14:29.  'Newsradio 650, KENI' ID at 14:31 at fair reception. (Salmaniw, Tow 
Hill, Queen Charlotte Is, BC)

684 FIJI Radio Fiji 1, Jul 3 12:20 - Presumed logging with islands music 
with fair audio.  First logging this morning using a hastily laid N/S 
mini-Beverage of 350' length.  Not ideal, but a start. (Salmaniw, Tow Hill, 
Queen Charlotte Is, BC)

702 AUSTRALIA? 2BL, ABC Sydney., Jul 5 12:30 - Overall a very poor 
morning.  Unfortunately, my new Australian Beverage is not working (the 
matching transformer had a loose connection).  The 350/170 degree Beverage 
had to do.  Not nearly as good as a couple of days ago.  Yesterday morning 
I was unable to DX due to the batteries falling to about 7v...too low for 
the AOR 7030+ to operate.  Weak audio with Australian accented dj, so a 
presumed logging. (Salmaniw, Tow Hill, Queen Charlotte Is, BC)

720 HAWAII, KUAUI KUAI, Jul 3 12:21 - Another presumed logging with Hawaiin 
music.  Fair reception. (Salmaniw, Tow Hill, Queen Charlotte Is, BC)

738 FRENCH POLYNESIA RFO Papeete, Jul 5 12:33 - Strongest station on the MW 
band with French programming, but cochannel with a weaker station.  Don't 
know who. (Salmaniw, Tow Hill, Queen Charlotte Is, BC)

738 TAHITI RFO Tahiti, Jul 3 12:15 - Good reception with French 
talk.  Being closer to my N/S oriented Beverage, as expected, Papeete was 
heard at reasonably good strength. (Salmaniw, Tow Hill, Queen Charlotte Is, BC)

750 ALASKA KFQD, Anchorage, Jul 5 13:21 - Fair reception with ID as, '750 
newsradio KFQD'.  Public service announcements followed, and then an ad for 
Alaska Tire Service. (Salmaniw, Tow Hill, Queen Charlotte Is, BC)

770 ALASKA KINY, Jul 5 13:25 - S9+ signal with oldies music, and ID at 
13:37 as, 'The music connection, KINY'. (Salmaniw, Tow Hill, Queen 
Charlotte Is, BC)

783 ?NEW ZEALAND 2YB Access Radio, Jul 5 12:37 - Tentative logging.  Weak 
audio in English.  Not sure who else this could be. (Salmaniw, Tow Hill, 
Queen Charlotte Is, BC)

790 ALASKA KCAM, Jul 5 16:42 - S6 to S7 signal strength with Country top 50 
countdown. (Salmaniw, Tow Hill, Queen Charlotte Is, BC)

800 ALASKA KINY, Juneau, Jul 3 14:35 - Interesting relay of WXJ 25 Juneau 
weather radio with ID at 14:40.  Continued until 13:44 with an ID as:  'The 
music connection, KINY'.  Very good reception. (Salmaniw, Tow Hill, Queen 
Charlotte Is, BC)

1008 AUSTRALIA 4TAB, Brisbane, Jul 3 12:25 - A tentative 
logging.  Australian accented announcer with a call-in program.  Fair 
reception.  Brisbane stations tend to be
