I arrived in Masset last Friday for a 12 day visit. Usually, this entails a lot of maintenance work to our 4.4 acre ocean-front property, including on the various antennas we have here on the property, as well as the numerous SDRs. However, I made it a priority to also listen, including live which I did getting up before 2 AM and listening overnight. I was most delighted to hear how very strong Radio Vanuatu was propagating my way. So here's a sampling of what was heard mostly overnight, including Voice of Mongolia, an old friend. 73, Walt Salmaniw Masset, BC AUSTRALIA 6230, 1336-, VMW Jun 19 Good reception with marine forecast by Australian English accented OM. Cochannel in AM is the presumed Sound of Hope jammer. (Salmaniw,Masset, BC) BOLIVIA 3310, 0936-, Radio Mosoj Chaski Jun 19 Fair reception with talk, but a fair amount of summer static to make listening comfortable. Not sure of language, but should be in Quechua. Almost all talk during the 10 minutes of monitoring. Checked some South American kiwiSDRs, and not a lot different than my reception. (Salmaniw,Masset, BC) CANADA 6218.570, 1318-, Iqaluit Coast Guard Radio Jun 19 Perhaps on the wrong frequency, and a bit distorted. I caught the tail end of the broadcast, including, 'This is Iqaluit Coast Guard Radio, out', and off. Checking later, the nominal frequency is 6218.6. (Salmaniw,Masset, BC) CHINA 13810, 1052-, CNR Jun 19 100% decode on this channel. // to 15760 also with perfect copy. (Salmaniw,Masset, BC) JAPAN 11815, 1408-, NHK Radio Japan Jun 19 Excellent reception of the rare English Radio Japan broadcasts, especially direct from Japan. A story about a gay couple in Thailand. (Salmaniw,Masset, BC) JAPAN 5920, 1308-, Shiokaze Jun 19 Excellent reception with their English broadcast (weekly) and // to 5965, also very strong, but latter has weaker cochannel Chinese station. Female announcer is a little difficult to follow with her thick Japanese accent. (Salmaniw,Masset, BC) MARSHAL ISLANDS 1098, 1057-, Radio Marshalls Jun 19 Very nice reception with pleasant Islands music. Besides splatter from 1090, reception is otherwise very acceptable. A good night to put my various antennas to the test, and they all performed very well, including a new home brew 20' vertical, and a K9AY array from Quiet Radio (David Evans) in the UK, who confirmed that I was the first user in North America. Thanks, Dave! (who is a worthy successor to the late Andy Ilkin of Wellbrook Communications). I continued to listen and indeed at 11:30, a male announcer came on, presumably with close-down announcement followed by the Marshalese National Anthem. Open carrier remained. (Salmaniw,Masset, BC) MONGOLIA 12014.873, 1259-, Voice of Mongolia Jun 19 Same buzzy transmitter at strong level and the characteristic VOM off frequency. Japanese listed again. I again noted a digital (RTTY or NAVTEX like) signal, this time above the channel on 12016.5 and 12017.5, just like on 12085, so I wonder whether there's a relationship between VOM and the digital signal?. (Salmaniw,Masset, BC) MONGOLIA 12084.874, 1045-, Voice of Mongolia Jun 19 Strong reception, but modulation similar to Radio Cairo's with muddy audio and a loud transmitter hum easily seen on multiple frequencies on the waterfall. I can recognize that it's Japanese. Too bad, as it would produce armchair copy otherwise. A long time since I've tuned them in! Returned at 10:58 to hear the sign-off announcement mentioning Voice of Mongolia, and giving website. Transmitter cut at 11:00 UTC. I'm pretty certain that this is coming off the back of their antenna, as the azimuth of the transmitter is 116 degrees SE towards Japan. Received well on all my antennas here in Masset. (Salmaniw,Masset, BC) NEW ZEALAND 6224, 1350-, ZLM Taupo Maritime Radio Jun 19 Very good reception with machine generated marine forecast. Accent is easier to follow compared to the Australian meteo broadcast!. (Salmaniw,Masset, BC) NORTH KOREA 6140, 1055-, KCBS Jun 19 I don't know what the issue is with the DRM from North Korea. Signal is strong on both this channel and 3205 but zero decode. (Salmaniw,Masset, BC) PERU 4810, 0946-, Radio Logos Jun 19 Almost good reception if it wasn't for the CODAR below and digital hash above the channel. Music. Improving when rechecked at 09:59, with music continuing. Waiting for an ID at the TOH. Might have been one but very short, so not 100% certain. Continues speaking past 10:04. Rechecking at 10:29, the digital noise above the channel is gone, so much easier to hear now. (Salmaniw,Masset, BC) TAIWAN 6279.848, 1345-, Sound of Hope Jun 19 Characteristically off channel and not sounding anything like CNR at good level at this time. A rarity that there's no CNR jammer on channel and the strength of the signal. Back and forth between rapid speaking woman and male. Presumably in Mandarin. Found a parallel at 13:56, also on offset channel of 6214.937 with no jammer. Equally strong. They're always listed as '1 kW', but who knows the accuracy of that. (Salmaniw,Masset, BC) USA 15150, 0507-, WMLK Jun 20 Superb reception of WMLK preaching....presumably a historical recording of Elder Jacob O. Meyer. Perfect modulation, unlike so many other broadcasters. (Salmaniw,Masset, BC) VANUATU 7260, 0920-, Radio Vanuatu Jun 19 Excellent reception with Bislama talk by YL about domestic violence, then local vocal music accompanied by guitar. Signal spreads across 18 kHz. Radio Vanuatu ID at 09:29. Radio Vanuatu, Voice of Unity at 09:31. Continues in Bislama. Drums at 09:32. (Salmaniw,Masset, BC) VATICAN CITY (NON) 11805, 1230-, Vatican Radio Jun 19 Tone until 12:30, then brief modernized VR IS and into Russian program via Tinang, Philippines. Excellent strength. (Salmaniw,Masset, BC) VIETNAM 12020, 1209-, Voice of Vietnam Jun 19 Excellent strength in listed Japanese with a YL sounding very much like a native speaker. Some digital cochannel audible on 12017.5 and 12018.5.
