[HCDX] band conditions and antenna questions

2003-06-25 Thread Chris
Hi Tonight band conditions below 6 mhz seem to be really bad.Hardly any MW to speak of,and nothing really coming through on 90 or 60 except for Quito on 60 and maybe Ghana as well.Going up to 6 mhz ,signals are somewhat improved.That 6020 station,Radio Victoria is audible but not nearly as good

HI At 0900 GMT,I am thinking I have Radio Nacional from Brasil on with low to fair signal and some interference from unknown source.Male speaking mentions Radio Nacional after what sounded like an interview (over phone?)with female.Interference now from my least favorite station WYFR on 6175

...through which I probably just demonstrate my ignorance, but what the heck ;-) 1. Who or what is Radio Farda? I listen to them right now (0810UTC) on 17835, according to ILG from Morocco, and wonder. Are they one of these U.S. sponsored U.S. propaganda things or a clandestine gone commercial?
