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.
GERMANY 15225 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.)
