Noted a couple of males in Russian language comments during the period. Signal was fair to good. (Chuck Bolland, December 4, 2008) Bolivia, 6134.79, Radio Santa Cruz, 0958-1020, Initially noted a program of Bolivian music which continued through the hour mark. At about 1005, a series of promos and ID's heard, all of them canned; then at about 1010, back to music. Signal was good. (Chuck Bolland, December 4, 2008) Peru, 4826.46, Radio Sichuan, 1021-1040, Mainly heard Spanish comments from both a male and female during the period. Some music heard, but only as a "bridge" so to speak. Signal was fair to threshold during the period. By 1040, it was evident that the signal was fading out for the morning. (Chuck Bolland, December 4, 2008) Indonesia, 4976.02, RRI Pontianak, (Pres)1058-1105 At tune in noticed music in progress. Gotta make this a "presume" since no break on the hour or comments during the period. Signal was poor. (Chuck Bolland, December 4, 2008) Peru, 4835.45. Radio Maranon, 1115-1120, Surprised that this is still readable because of the late time, but noted a female in Spanish language followed by a male. This signal is cycling in and out as it fades into the noise trying to hold on for just a few more moments. Unfortunately that doesn't happen as it fades down to nothing. (Chuck Bolland, December 4, 2008) Unident, 4865.03, 1120-1130 Noted a female talking joined by a male at 1123. Signal was barely audible over the noise. The nuance of the speech sounds like Spanish, but can't be sure? Could this be that elusive shadowy Radio Station called Logos that hasn't been heard here in Florida yet? Signal is audibly gone by 1130, but I can still see it on the scope.

This is followed with National Anthem til 2059+. At 2100 dead air heard and then off. Signal was fair during broadcast. This is suppose to be the domestic service on 9704 KHz. I don't know? I couldn't Ident the language and the QRM was overwhelming, so this is possibly correct from what I heard?

Thailand heard at 2006 on 4 Dec w/GM program, some pop music then s/off w/station ID and freqs in EG. Nice S4 signals here in Kabul, even tho aimed at Europe. 9575 MOROCCO, Medi 1, heard at 1941 on 4 Dec w/AR and FR talks, pop mx and commercials. Pretty low signal (S2 at best) and barely above the noise. QSL: BELGIUM - RTBF International, 9970, f/d email in 15 days for FR report. V/S Fabienne Pasau ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), who also complimented me on my FR language skills (which I personally think are execrable.....). Well, folks, I'm back in Kaboom, ermmm, Kabul, and my reward was a couple of good catches. Security here is ramped up in preparation for the Eid, and the Government has declared a weeklong holiday from Saturday the 6th thru Friday the 12th of December because of the Eid and various other things. The parliament has approved and presented a bill to President Karzai to sign making the weekend Friday/Saturday and the work week only five days. President Karzai is hopefully going to sign this soon. Theoreticlaly, I should have the week off for DX, however, because this is an ISP, we're all on duty 24/7/365 and I still have to do some office time, but I still anticipate a lot of DX time. Incidently, if there are any other network engineers out there who may be interested in some fun, travel and adventure (including dodging bullets, IEDs, polluted air, and the chef from Hell), earning some good tax-free money (lodging, transport and meals included - perqs you have to negotiate), please send your resume/CV my way and I will present it to the CEO for consideration. You should have at least five years network engineering experience and relevant certifications: MCSE, Network+, Security+, CCNP, CCIE, etc. A formal degree is not necessary.
