[HCDX] WWRB-Finally verified
Received yesterday a verification for WWRB Morrison, TN 12172 via rev. Turner, the host for the AV 1611-hour, who replied my reception report after 6 weeks with a nice personal letter, saying my report was the first overseas report he had received (he had received some from Mexico and Canada before). The letter ended with some passages from the Bible in Swedish!! Enclosed with the letter was a big US stamp block. It seems like the only way to get WWRB verified is to write to the different program makers. A direct report to the station will not result as Dave Franz doesnt seems to like us DX-ers according to the WWRB web site, where he writes under QA: A hobby listener can be likened to a trophy hunter; they listen to a station for a short period of time, send in to the station a reception report, request a QSL card (proof of reception card,) and are rarely heard from again, unless the station makes a radical change to its QSL card design or hosts a reception report contest, offering station related paraphernalia such as pennants. The hobbyist is only interested in getting something nifty from his efforts and pays little, if any, attention to the programming, other than the writing of a brief transcript, required to prove reception. Also like a trophy hunters guns, hobby listeners usually posses powerful receiving equipment to pick up even the weakest signals, so shortwave stations often attempt to pass hobbyist reception reports off as proof of world coverage (Beware!) 73 de Lennart Weirell, Västerås, Sweden ---[Start Commercial]- World Radio TV Handbook 2004 is coming out!

[HCDX] Nice domestic DX log from this saturday afternoon
Hello to all of you ! I have been very buzzy burning CDs and going out with a friend in the downtown Montreal areas, as well as with my parents so I didn`t have time to mention this log that I made on the car-radio, the past saturday afternoon: 1320 CKEC, New Glasgow, NS OCT 11 1753 - playing I Shut The Sherif (But I`ll Better Shut The Deputee) followed by man talk w/ ment. of New Glasgow, Nova Scotia followed by ads, one of them for a Canadian cancer association and several IDs. Then back to the oldies program. Very huge signal, way over both CJMR and WTAR. First time that it is noted with a decent and really listenable signal and reception on the car-radio wich omni-directionnal can`t null WTAR to make CJMR the only source of QRM like my old Sanyo did and will have done. (Chiochiu-QC) Bogdan Chiochiu on the road in Saint-Laurent and Dorval, Montreal, QC Also a note for the FM DX`ers and enthousiasts, this Monday on the Thanks Giving Day we went to Cornwall where we could get locals, semi-locals and tropo-scatter FM on almost all the channels. The best catches are WIZN The Wizard from Vergennes, VT in the Platsburg-Burlington Market and CBC Radio 1 on 107.5 from Kingston. Locals were noted on 94.7, 96.3, 97.3, 102.9 and 104.5 and probably 1 or 2 other frequencies I didn`t checked with attention. Then in the end of the morning, we drived back to Montreal, into the south-eastern corner of the island, in the Hochelaga-Maisonneuve quarter. There we walked outside a very, very little bit and we eated something from McDonald in the car while listening to CFXM M105 from Grandby, a nice semi-local that is completely blocked by CJLA Lachute here in Pierrefonds. They played a lot of great songs, several of them from the 80`s. My favorite song wich they played was Time (Clock of the Heart) by Boy George and Culture Club wich I burned on my last CD. Another great 80`s song that I knew since a long time and that I founded on the Internet was Automatic by the Pointer Sisters. A very great tune that until yesturday I didn`t know wich artist performed it. Extremely great happy and rhythmic 80`s funky music with a sad atmosphere ! Well, that`s for now ! 73 and good DX, Bogdan Chiochiu ---[Start Commercial]- World Radio TV Handbook 2004 is coming out! Preorder yours now!
