Hi all, some logs from a very early Kathmandu morning. Still dark and pretty misty, promising another beautiful day. While many of you probably still freeze your butts off, we enjoy about 28C here in Nepal. Soon it'll be too hot though for my taste. Oh well... ;-)
4000.0, R. Nei Menggu, 2155, weak with deep fades but clearly intelligible Mandarin and martial music in the peaks. //4620 presents a much clearer signal. 4785 carries different programing in Mongolian. (Roth-Kathmandu) 4450.0, presumed Korean National Democratic Front, 2210, sign on in Korean with martial music and clearly audible words (or rather names) Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il. Weak to fair with some fading. (Roth-Kathmandu) 4830.0, presumed R. Ulaan Baator, 2225, talk and 'Chinese opera'-style music, fair to good with some occasional deep fades. (Roth-Kathmandu) 5030.2, UNID, 2235, very weak with deep fades but occasional strong peaks and in a language I never heard before. According ILG it could be RTM Sarawak in a language called Bidayuh. Not at all sure about this one. Definitely NOT CNR Beijing 1 though who should also be on this frequency. (Roth-Kathmandu) 5035.0, Voice of Vietnam, 2245, Hmong service with some talk and lots of "folksy" Gamelan-like music, some UTE CW QRM, otherwise fair. Off air at 2300 sharp.
