Re: [HCDX] St. Petersburg Regional Center
Dear Bill, yes, we verify all correct reception reports - but, of course, for our transmitters only (that located in St.Petersburg and Leningradskaya oblast). Regarding RTRN regional web sites: many of them (including St.Petersburg's one) will be out of use approx. till Dec 31st because of the technical works with new servers in Moscow...

[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs December 19-20, 2008
** CANADA [non]. 11895 good and clear Dec 20 at 1505, disgusting sermon in slow English about bringing a female (animal?) without defect as a sin offering, slaughtering and pouring out the blood on the altar, removing the fat and burning it, avoiding unclean stuff; Leviticus V mentioned. What does PWBR `2009` say this is? AWR Guam is the only bar, but summer-only and language-other, so that would be a bum rap. EiBi and Aoki have the answer as usual: Bible Voice Broadcasting, 90 degrees to South Asia at 1500-1530 when English is only on Saturdays; EiBi says Nauen, Aoki says Wertachtal. The Franco-Germans are always jumping the sites around, presumably for logistical reasons (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA [and non]. RHC, 9550, Dec 19 at 2306 news in English, with clear echo during brief fades. Suspect this was long-path, quite a haul from here at some 38 megameters. SE Asian signals were inbooming such as VOA on 9490, which is Tinang at 200 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SLOVAKIA. R. Slovakia International IS and ID in English at 1427 Dec 20 on 6055, weak with flutter, 1430 into German as scheduled. Europe on 49m at this time of day is quite a treat, but surely possible at solstice, and just a band away from regular Pridnestrovye at same hour on 7370. Beam of 305 degrees from RSO helps too, exactly the same azimuth used for English to NAm at 0100, still intruding in the 40m hamband on 7230. This being a Saturday instead of a Friday, the usual dominant on 6055, R. Nikkei was already off at 1415 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SOLOMON ISLANDS. Weak signal on 9541.5, Dec 20 at 0730 with talk, seems English intonation; a bit better at 0735, mostly YL talking and occasional bits of music. Just not enough against noise level, but BFO helped and proved it was not drifting. What else could it be on this frequency? Next check at 1407, no trace of a carrier, just something on 9540.0 masked by QRDRM from 9540-9550, BBC/DW Woofferton 100 kW, 114 degrees. I really wonder if SIBC is running 31m 24 hours (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SWEDEN. 9400, weak with umlauty language Dec 20 at 1511. As a -00 frequency, first suspect naturally Bulgaria, but not this time: Radio Sweden in Swedish scheduled from Hörby. An hour earlier I was getting it much better on 11540 as I was confirming Solomon Islands was not being heard on 9541.5, but instead a carrier from something matching 2.0 MHz below on 9540.0. Anyhow, seems Radio Sweden/Teracom facilities survived the earthquake a few days ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TURKEY. 11810, weak signal in Arabic, Dec 20 at 1501, pronouncing a website with English letters including .net. I assumed it was Jordan but EiBi and Aoki agree Jordan is off by then, and V. of Turkey is opening Arabic at 1500, until 1700, 252 degrees from Emirler, so that is how I will list-log it, presumably, the .net also a positive clew (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U K. Nice to hear Bow Bells preceding BBCWS transmission on 12095, Dec 20 at 1459, but only until 1459:30 opening, and 1500 into stupid ballgames, this being a Saturday when BBC wastes its vast resources on such Sportsworld nonsense. Good signal from Rampisham, 250 kW at 95 degrees for this bihour. Originally, out-of-band 12095 could be used only from UK sites, but now you never know. At other dayparts, it`s Cyprus or Ascension. Also noticed timesignal on the hour was about 1 second late compared to WWV; so why bother, misleading countless listeners about the correct time? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 1, very weak singing and talk underneath WWVH, Dec 20 at 1418. Maybe another instance of mixing product between 31m transmitters, Jordan? No trace of WWV. WWCR 9980 had not yet built up to overpowering strength desensitizing and blocking WWV/H most of the day, and there did not seem to be other super-power signals on 31m which could cause receiver cross-modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ### ---[Start Commercial]- Order your WRTH 2008: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2008 ---[End Commercial]--- Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ ___ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.

This is followed by the NA and then off the air. Signal was fair to good. (Chuck Bolland, December 20, 2008) Rwanda, 6055, Radio Rwanda, 2030-2058, In tune in, noted brief music. This was followed at 2031 with Qur'an type chanting. At about 2034, a male in language(?) comments. Music followed until about 2058 when a female talks briefly. At this point either the signal faded or it went off the air, but nothing heard beyond that. Signal was poor.

[HCDX] the Grundig Eton G5: a major disappointment
Hello ! I'm writing again because we just tested the Grundig Eton G5 receiver and we are highly disappointed... We get overload on every frequency on both LW and MW. It overloads even worse than the Sangean CST-818 rx with local 1450 kHz Arabic station wipping out any signal on 550 in both the DX and LO mode. In LO it is just SLIGHTLY weaker... I purchased it, because a lot of the interesting LW channels such as Tipaza-252 or Azilal-207 were hammered by local false mixing products between CINF-690, CFAV-1450 and CHUC-1450 on the Sangean CST-818, but with this rx things are only worse. While the 550 RECEIVER-GENERATED spur is poor-strenght using the Sangean CST-818 barefoot, it is SEMI-LOCAL-like with excellent strenght semi-Hi-Fi using the Grundig Eton G5 receiver... I wonder why CHUC the 1450 Arabic station in Le Parc Industriel de Saint-Laurent generates spur on 550 in all the radios in our house (even on a broken Venturer clock radio) WITH THE EXCEPTION of the Sanyo MCD-S830 AM/FM Hi-Fi chain with tape copy and recorder which cleanly receives the weak WEVD Vermont groundwave and skywave from low-power domestic regionals, as well as occasionally YVKE-Venezuela without any 1450 local receiver-generated spur and even better had a TA het on 549. Is there a mathematical formula for a signal on 1450 to appear on 550 d! ue to overload concerns ? We need some advice concerning European LW DXing and a receiver able to cope with strong signals. I'm very sad; looks like I can't do too much longwave DXing and I'm sure the fault is the receiver... What should I do ? We purchased the Eton from Ontario...can we get back and what should we do in order to get it back ? I'm so disappointed an old Phillips LW/MW transistor from my grandmother got so sadly broken. Aside from having a sentimental value, it hardly suffered any overload, had the dynamic range and the sensitivity just about as good as the Sanyo MCD-S830 portable, if any drawbacks, it was less selective than my Sanyo, but this was hardly a problem on LW, especially on the nearly empty 153-198 kHz section of the band... Of course, the 2002-2003 DX season was full of solar flare, so aside from a threshold unID around 180-185 kHz which I *guessed* was Europe 1, I didn't received anything on LW. Of course with the Loop antenna placed close enough to the receiver's ferrite bar, as I do with the Sangean CST-818, magic things could happen... Maybe it's a God's lesson to finally purchasse an used Drake R8B ? Is the Drake R8B along with the AOR, the Icom and the Degen the only options for LW DXing ? Is there anything even *SLIGHTLY* cheaper ? I would really like to hear at least 162 and 171 regularly... Now, 171 is badly covered by mixing products on the Eton G5... Listen, I have severe overload on 150, 171, 180, 210, 252 just 4 kHz above the UL beacon on 248, 550 and several other channels... On SW and on FM is a different story. It even beats the Sangean CST-818 with Radio Rebelde particularly easy on 5025, but I'm more interested in TA and LAs on LW and MW rather than SW DXing these days... I have one project in order to calm down my negative thoughts: a research project concerning the best affordable receiver for picking up overseas powerhouses in the 153-279 kHz. May the good DX bless your receiver and your ears !

[HCDX] brand new domestic DX logging
NA domestic DX: Heard on the Sanyo MCD-S830 barefoot: 550 WGR Buffalo, NY 1814 EST - out of the poor-strenght domestic caught a live sports announcer with the mention of a team in Buffalo; very briefly alone for less than 1 minute before fading back under the rather weak domestic mess. NEW ! I'm lucky CHLN has moved to 106.9 FM rendering both 549 and 550 free for DX ! (BC-QC) Heard on the Grundig Eton G5 barefoot: 550 WGR Buffalo, NY ??? Well not, instead CHUC Saint-Laurent, QC 1814 - instead of getting the weak domestic mess that included the brand new catche of WGR, got here at an excellent level Arabic dance music, followed by a Celine Dion's personal remake of Feliz Navidad with season's greetings in both Arabic and French. This is clearly a receiver-generated local spur ! I get a lot of them on LW ! It's even worse... (BC-QC) As I showed my mother that, she just couldn't believe how a Hi-Fi entertainement receiver (the Sanyo one) that intentionally might have notoriously bad AM could receive at a poor but clean level an assorted amoutn of distant USA domestics, while on the Grundig Eton G5 we had an overspill from a signal that I showed her could ONLY be received on 1450, AND NOT on 550, while on the Eton G5 it was audible on both 550 and 1450, as well as on various LW channels mixing with CINF-690 and CFAV-1570. I knew only good things about the Eton G5, I didn't believed it overloads so badly. With the LO button turned on, it still receives the 1450 local on 550 with a very slight background hiss... Well, seems like I'll only have mediumwave and shortwave to deal with, unless I find SOMETHING GOOD on LW... I'm so disappointed...I'm always ready for changes (albeit postive ones) in my DX career !

Re: [HCDX] the Grundig Eton G5: a major disappointment
Bogdan, Too bad you got another cheap radio with little image rejection. Hearing 1450 signal on 550 is not a spur (which implies it is transmitted by the station), but an inherent characteristic of radios with an IF (intermediate frequency) of 450 kHz. Double that, subtract from true frequency, and you get the image produced in the receiver. There is the formula. Sometimes the IF is 455 in which case the image is 910 kHz below. A double-conversion receiver (mainly for shortwave) should reduce or eliminate this problem. 73, Glenn Hauser --- On Sat, 12/20/08, aurel chiochiu a...@videotron.ca wrote: From: aurel chiochiu a...@videotron.ca I'm writing again because we just tested the Grundig Eton G5 receiver and we are highly disappointed...

Re: [HCDX] the Grundig Eton G5: a major disappointment
Bogdan, Too bad you got another cheap radio with little image rejection. Hearing 1450 signal on 550 is not a spur (which implies it is transmitted by the station), but an inherent characteristic of radios with an IF (intermediate frequency) of 450 kHz. Double that, subtract from true frequency, and you get the image produced in the receiver. There is the formula. Sometimes the IF is 455 in which case the image is 910 kHz below. A double-conversion receiver (mainly for shortwave) should reduce or eliminate this problem. 73, Glenn Hauser --- On Sat, 12/20/08, aurel chiochiu a...@videotron.ca wrote: From: aurel chiochiu a...@videotron.ca I'm writing again because we just tested the Grundig Eton G5 receiver and we are highly disappointed...

Re: [HCDX] the Grundig Eton G5: a major disappointment
I am reluctant to make specific receiver recommendations. There are lots of reviews out there, and no doubt others have first-hand experience with receivers benefiting from good image rejection. 73, Glenn --- On Sat, 12/20/08, aurel chiochiu a...@videotron.ca wrote: From: aurel chiochiu a...@videotron.ca Subject: Re: [HCDX] [mwdx] Re: the Grundig Eton G5: a major disappointment To: m...@yahoogroups.com Cc: hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com Date: Saturday, December 20, 2008, 9:10 PM Warm greetings Glenn ! I'm actually back at the computer since a bunch of powerlines-like noise (TV sets in the neighborhood ?) appeared throwing away any audio from the 585 Spaniard and likely others... I think in the Sanyo, the IF is around 910, since I do get like a pulsating growl right on 540 with bits of poor-strenght audio from the 1450 local tx which dissapears when tuning on either the low or the high side of 540 and it sounds really weak... What double-conversion receiver would you suggest me ? We might try out a few in the medium price range if there are any MEDIUM... May the good DX be with you !

Re: [HCDX] Missed QSL
Hi Björn, Maybe you can ask Hotmail to restore your mailbox from that date. I know that option is available on Yahoo. Why not give it a try? I hope they can help you out. 73 Al Muick Kabul, Afghanistan -Original Message- From: hard-core-dx-boun...@hard-core-dx.com [mailto:hard-core-dx-boun...@hard-core-dx.com] On Behalf Of bjorn fransson Sent: Sunday, December 21, 2008 11:07 AM To: Hard-Core Hard-Core-DX Subject: [HCDX] Missed QSL Dear Friends on the list! As an early Christmas present I had a QSL in my mailbox. Unfortunately it was directed to the Junk department by Hotmail because it came from an address I didn't have in my address list. I always check the Junk box before marking what's in it as Spam and deleting them. Always, but not on Friday Dec 19th. With my new glasses on I only noticed the subject line: QSL and maybe a Spanish spelled name, before I pointed on Delete instead of Inbox and my Christmas present was in the Cyperspace faster than a moment, without any possibility to get it back. Hotmail does collect Deleted, when you delete them from your Inbox, but never collect Deleted from your Junk. So, my question: Is there anybody out there having got the same QSL and who can give me a hint about where the QSL might have come from? I wish all Hard-Core-DX-ers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Björn Fransson _ Show them the way!
