[HCDX] 657 KHZ Ticking
I received a report on another radio forum of a European beacon on 500KHZ. I tuned there at 0200 UTC and copied the same ticking and tone but much stronger. I stand corrected on the time and date of the reception of it on 657 KHZ. It was October 3 at 0145 UTC. Perhaps this ticking and tones are a spur or harmonic of the 500 KHZ beacon if that's what I was hearing. Location unknown but on 500 best reception is with my loop antenna set at 70 degrees at my location. I'm baffled.

To answere Luigi's question about relays, many broadcasters relay their programming through Radio Canada Int'l, but I don't think that Voice of Greece is one of them.

[HCDX] Hi end of AM broadcast band
I want to report what I'm hearing per Glenn Hauser's report of strange tones and hets in this range of frequencies. I tuned from 0439 until 0522 UTC on september 24, 2010. I heard no test tones in this range, I listened to KHRW, Sikeston, Mo. on 1520 KHZ and tuned off to 1521 and didn't hear tones. WDJZ on 1530 religious with an ESPN station underneath. 1540, Waterloo, Iowa. I tuned to 1539 and heard a het underneath them. On and near 1550 I was hearing a weak signal in Spanish. Cuba? There is a mish mash of broadcasting in this range making Identification of broadcasters difficult. In the mess a couple of times I could hear unidentifiable weak foreign broadcasting. I don't know if this information is helpful or not. Off topic but I'm not familiar with the regions. Is North America including Canada region 1? Thank you in anticipation of replies, Wishing good DX to all. Rich Brock Beaver, Pa.

[HCDX] Antarctica LRA36 Finally
Hello Fellow Members, I'm going to report my probable reception of LRA36, Antarctica, after months of trying. My reception was on Saturday, September 11, 2010 on 15476 KHZ at 1348 UTC. The broadcast was very weak and unintelligible, I lost them at 1402 UTC. I coud hear a male, and I think, a female announer. I'm going to stick my neck out and say that this was LRA36. I tuned above and below the frequency and heard nothing. I'm going to keep trying hoping for a clear enough reception so that I can send a report to them, hoping for a QSL card.

[HCDX] Voice of Russia with interference
At 2259 UTC on 9890 KHZ I tuned to VOR World Service. There was a steady bird chirping sound in with them, almost as strong of a signal. This sound seemed to cover 9890 to 9898 KHZ. I seem to remember this back in the 1960's, the same sound but on various frequencies. The word was then that it was over the horizon radar? I haven't scanned to find out if it's on other freq's now and I haven't heard that for many years. It's fading in and out now at 2318 UT. Just wondering. Rich Brock Bridgewater/Beaver, Pa.

[HCDX] Antarctica Station
Hello DXers, For weeks now when I'm not DXing I leave my receiver tuned to 15476 KHZ hoping to hear the station. I've been monitoring this frequency at random, night and day with no results, just open air. Right now at 1758 UTC There's a fairly strong carrier with a motorboating sound. Could this be jamming from an unknown source? Since I'm near Pittsburgh, Pa. USA, my problem might be that I need more antenna.

[HCDX] Syria 594 KHZ
The report of the Syrian station sounds interesting so on Jan. 16 at 0430 UTC I tuned to 594 KHZ and all I can hear is a mish mash of heterodynes and a preacher splashing from somewhere near 594. At one point I heard what sounded like Mid-East type music and a female that was speaking what sounded like Arabic. The signals are so weak with a lot of fading so I can't claim what I heard. It's still early so maybe conditions will improve. My home made loop antenna is getting the best results on that frequency. Perhaps it's time to switch over to my Zenith Transoceanic radio?

[HCDX] KEVT DX Test
Hello DXers, I regret to report that my attempt at hearing KEVT during the test was a flop. I had overwhelming QRM from WPHT in Philadelphia, Pa. and couldn't null them enough using my home brew directional outdoor loop. I switched to my long wire and managed to mostly null them using the MFJ Versatuner II but then all I ended up with was a mish mash of at least four stations down in the mud causing somewhat of a het and making all unreadable. I tuned up on 1210 KHZ at 0700 UTC and worked at receiving their signal for two hours before giving up. At least four times I briefly heard Spanish but not readable and at the top of each hour I couldn't copy any station Id's in English. Needless to say I couldn't get enough for a good reception report to send to them. I guess that there's too many miles between KEVT and me. I hope that other DXers had better results than I did.

I can hear Arab style music, male and female announcers, stations unknown so far but haven't checked any schedules yet. Severe fading with weak to strong signals and a het which is understandable due to multiple stations. Rich Brock Bridgewater/Beaver, Pa.

[HCDX] Aruba?
Greetings DXers, On November 21 at 0045 UTC I picked up a strong Spanish speaking station on 12000 KHZ. They apparently signed off at 0100 UTC, the last words I heard were distinctly Aruba. I didn't understand a word of the Spanish. This was done by a male announcer but there was a female too about five minutes earlier. After the presumed sign off there was nothing but open air and I listened for about 15 minutes more. According to the EIBI schedule by time, the only station on that frequency in Spanish listed to sign off at 0100 was HCJB. Also according to EIBI, Radio Havana Cuba was running on that frequency but not scheduled to sign of for a few hours and I heard nothing from them or any other station that was listed to be operating on that frequency. Seems a little strange to me, could this actually been out of Aruba? Rich Brock Bridgewater/Beaver, Pa.

[HCDX] WFAW Test
Hello Dxers, The test of this morning was a flop for me. 940 KHZ in Montreal broadcasting Coast to Coast was covering everything up. I managed to null them out a little but then I couldn't pull anything understandable out of the mud. Maybe I'll have better luck on the next test. Have to try anyway!

[HCDX] WIGG Test
Hello Dxers, The DX test of WIGG, 1420 KHZ, Wiggins, Mississippi didn't go well at my QTH. I listened to the frequency during the test hours of 0900 to 1000 UTC and couldn't pull them out. I copied multiple stations on that frequency, for the most part not understandable, which created a high pitched het. What I could pull out was mostly talk radio stations and most of the time WHK out of Cleveland, Ohio covered them up. I managed to filter out the het but still with no results. Once I did hear country music but it was down in the mud but that might have been WIGG but not enough for a positive ID. I had my outdoor loop antenna aimed right at Mississippi. It was a big let down for me as I was geared up and ready with a blank reception report form. I guess that the frequency was just too congested for any kind of verifiable copy from here. I hope that the rest of you that tuned in for the test had better luck than I did! I wish to thank the station management for taking t! he time and effort to do this.

[HCDX] HD Interference
Hello all DXers, In referrence to the posts concerning interference from IBOC, HD, or whatever it is, I live in Pittsburgh. Pa. and listen to KDKA, 1020 on a regular basis at different times of the night and day. I've not noticed any interference from WBZ, 1030 at all, maybe I'm just not tuning in at the right times. This interference thing has me worried since I DX the Meduim Wave Broadcast band as well as shortwave. I can see the writing on the wall. it's going to ruin our hobby eventually. Just my opinion, hope I'm wrong.

Hello Dxers, This Summer Time thing has me confused. I've been using UTC, Zulu, etc, for radio communications since 1965.

[HCDX] Pirate from USA Test
I have possible information on the Channel Z pirate test of May 13 on 6925.2 KHZ @ 0900 UTC. I noted a male announcer talking with an unreadable signal in with the noise level that wasn't even moving my S meter. At 0930 I was able to make out Family Radio's Open Forum program briefly. At 0937 I copied some Morse activity, but again just briefly. During all of this I could hear a het underneath Family Radio and still well in with the noise level, along with the heterodyne, could make out what sounded like a female announcer, but still unreadable. I checked with EIBI's listings by frequency and there was no broadcast listing for anything on that frequency at that time. I believe the activity that I heard under Family Radio could have been the Channel Z pirate. This went on until 1013 UTC when I lost anything that I had. I have an east - west long wire with a tuner and an open air loop aimed north - south, fed with 300 ohm twin lead. I could copy the announcer and Morse ! that was under Family Radio the best using the loop. I believe that the signal was to the south of me because the north facing part of the loop is more or less blocked by a brick building, so it's natural that I would hear better from the south. I was wondering if anyone else tried for this Channel Z pirate or if anyone copied the same thing that I did. believe it or not, the reception, if you want to call it that, was best with the Grundig.

[HCDX] Unid Arad Station
Hello everyone! On Sept 4th at 0327 GMT on 12005 KHZ I copyied a station broadcasting in Arabic with a man and a woman announcer. There were some type of chants in Arabic with random music that I couldn't identify along with noises that a horse would make (?) There were never any station ID's that I heard and they seemed to shut down at 0459 GMT or I lost them. The signal was weak with fading along with a low frequency hum that made reception difficult. Does anyone know what this was? Thank you Rich Brock Bridgewater Pa USA Grundig S350 longwire antenna ---[Start Commercial]- World Radio TV Handbook 2004 is out!

[HCDX] Unid Arabic
My apologies! I should have taken more time listening to the unidentified Arabic station that I copied at 0530 UTC. It turned out to be WYFR Family Radio out of Florida. No wonder it was so strong here. Sorry for taking up everyone's time! Rich Brock Western Pa USA Grundig S350 Marconi longwire ---[Start Commercial]- World Radio TV Handbook 2004 is out!

[HCDX] Reception Reports
Hello fellow DXers, I started back into the hobby after being idle for quite a while. When I started DX'ing and sending reception reports again I have found that stations sending mail to me haven't included a QSL card and only one station verified that my information was correct. All seem to send program schedules and that's about all. Years ago all confirmations sent back to me included QSL cards, perhaps that's an item that must be requested? I always send International Reply Coupons, has anyone have any suggestions? Rich Brock Grundig S350 Various Hallicrafters rigs National NC 303 Longwire antenna Pittsburgh, Pa.
