[HCDX] Peace Radio, Afghanistan on 9000
I didn't see this Dave's message mirrored in HCDX yet, so here it is: --- On 3 Oct 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- Re: [HCDX] Re DXLD 3-174 Afghanistan Hi Jari, Glenn, Sorry, I meant to send this in three weeks ago, but it slipped my mind! The station on 9000 kHz, formerly Information Radio, was observed on 17th September identifying as Peace Radio [Radyo-e Soleh in Dari]. Regards, Dave Kernick You wrote: Hi Glenn. DXLD 3-174 had an item about Information Radio of Afghanistan. I can hear a station on 9000 on daily basis, sometimes with good signal, but often badly interfered by rtty-like ute station. It sounds like AM mode now, both sidebands, perhaps a bit reduced carrier. Best audible here around 15-16 UT. I believe they sign off sometime around 1830. Mostly local music with very short announcements in Dari/Pashtu. I've been trying to find out what is the station name/ID nowadays, but no luck yet. They were on 7000 and disappeared sometime in June, maybe moved then to 9000. On 7000 they used id like Radyo Mau'lumati but this might have been changed now.

[HCDX] My first backpack mediumwave miniDXpedition ! (long)
First off, many thanks for all the opinions on portable receivers. I settled on the Palstar R-30 and quickly found one on eBay ( thanks Rick ! ). At the same time, I picked up an old Realistic VSC-1000 portable tape recorder for $10 also on eBay. The more I use it, the more I like the Palstar R-30. I don't notice any front end overload on MW with my EWE antennas even during the day (my Icom R71a has a little trouble when the locals run day power), and the selectivity with the stock filters is more than adequate. My only disappointment is that it's quite deaf on LW below 500khz. Hopefully someone will come up with a mod for this. For portable operation, I wrapped the receiver in bubble wrap leaving the front and back panels accessible. The local American Science and Surplus store had 4 A-h, 12 volt rechargeable batteries cheap and I'm running one of those instead of the internal AAA batteries. The radio plus recorder fit easily inside my day pack, leaving plenty of room for full sized headphones and a spool of wire. Fully loaded the pack is quite light. Today it weighed 22 lbs because I had 700 ft of wire and some water pipe that was to be used as a cable winder. The goal of tonight's test was more equipment oriented: How long will it take to set up? Will the radio get overloaded? Will I freeze my butt off? So I only spent 40 minutes listening. I drove to a large local park about 5 miles from home, walked about a half mile to a secluded grassy field, and set up next to a tree at the edge of the adjoining woods. Using a rock, I pounded an 18 inch piece of 1/2 inch water pipe on top of which I had a T fitting with two 6 inch pieces of pipe that makes a handy place to put the spool of wire. I took 500 ft of #14 stranded wire with another 200 ft of speaker wire soldered on the end (yup, it fit on the spool). The 700 ft of wire just fit across the field, laying on top of some long grass. I could go longer, but it would cross a gravel access road. I tied the near end to the tree for fear that some 4wd truck would blast across the field, snag the wire, and drag away my radio! I had brought a home-brew matching transformer, but it wasn't working, so I just used the high impedance wire clip on the radio and that worked fine. I had no problem at all with overload even with a 5kw directional local 2 miles up the road that really tears me up at home. I had the wire running towards the Caribbean but wasn't hearing any Cubans at all. RVC Turks and Caicos was running S9 down on 530khz. Voice of Nevis had a weak carrier on 895khz, I heard some very rapid SS on 1170khz, and some SS under WSB on 750khz. I worked my way up the band and stopped on 1620khz when I heard a very strong station running upbeat reggae type music, I parked here hoping for an ID that I never got but I'm pretty sure it was WDHP Frederickton, US Virgin Islands ... peaking S9 !! This was at about 0230z. Here is the clip in Real Audio (8 mins 14 seconds), it's big, 1 mb, but worth it: http://members.aol.com/j999w/DX Any Real Audio player should play it since I used an old version of RA Encoder to make it. It sounds a little muddy at max signal because the recorder is getting too much audio from the receiver. I need to fix that. Yet, not bad for a 12 year old recorder. The only other time I've heard this station it was very weak with poor copy. I guess these BOGs (Beverage on Ground) really DO work !! It took me 15 minutes to set up including walking the wire out, and only 12 minutes to pack up from radio off to swinging the pack on my back. The water pipe cable winder worked well. More expeditions to follow as time allows. 73, John Wilke WB9UAI Milwaukee, WI Palstar R-30, 700ft BOG ---[Start Commercial]- World Radio TV Handbook 2003 is out!
