Shortwave Radio Logs from WDX6AA (Stewart MacKenzie) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Tue, 10 May 2011 04:47:11 -0700 (PDT) From: Ralph Perry <ralphpe...@yahoo.com> To: undisclosed recipients: ; Subject: [HCDX] DX Loggings - Ralph Perry - 10 May Message-ID: <900258.11487...@web39702.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii PERU - 4790, Radio Vision, Chiclayo, good signals on 5/6 and 5/7 during 100-1040+ period. Big signal with charismatic preacher leading prayers at 1010 on 5/6, best signal in the band. At 1000 on 5/7, OM providing network sked into at 1000, mentioning 'cadena peruana radial . . .'. City names (Cajamarca, Chiclayo) in the network also heard. (R Perry, Illinois) COLOMBIA - 6035.02, La Voz del Guaviare, 5/3 with usual rosary show at 1011 first note, modulation cranking up and well heard by 1015. 1030 program change to romantic canciones noted, per usual, along with OM deejay with what sounded like a full info s/on anmt and ID. Horrible side slop gets worse after BOH and never fails to drive me away . . . Nice signal on 5/7 at 1024 with YL locutora giving schedule info, as rosary show had just ended. (R Perry, Illinois) UNID LA - 4865.03v unid Latin heard several mornings this week from. 1015-1030 on 5/6, only weak to fair signal and really can't work. High-voiced OM locutor but too weak to differentiate if SS or PP . . . and then what sounded like a rlg hymn this morning at 1030. Bad QRN. A little better on 5/7 at 1003 t/in with LA ballads, orch and YL/OM duet in love songs. Segued programming, so no anmts for key country clue. Perhaps can eliminate Alvorada (the ZY), as found this pgming not // Alvorada's online stream. Don't want to leap to any identify guesses here, tho, and am still somewhat skeptical that this could be the often-list-reported R Logos from Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia. As the old joke goes, R. Logos may be reported a lot more often than it is heard, hi hi. Other sets of ears invited to work on this one, tnx. (R Perry, Illinois) ETHIOPIA - 6110, R. Fana, Addis Ababa, 0310 5/9 nice booming signal on clear fqy with what others have been called "Horn of Africa pop mx". (This type of mx, often schmaltzy love pop, mainly with organ, horns and heavy bass, is eerily similar to the nightclub music played in cabarets in SE Asia; heard a lot of this stuff in the 1980s. 0316 OM anmts in lang, pres. Amharic, and then the instls continued. Pleasant listening and armchair level -- good enough to set as background music while working on other stuff in the office! (R Perry, Illinois) ----------------------------------------------------- Ralph Perry, Wheaton, Illinois Drake R8B; Japan Radio NRD-545; Eton E1; Hallicrafters SX100; Knightkit Star Roamer Dentron Super Tuner + Ameco PLF-2 + Palomar P-408 Longwires (150' + 100'); Tuned Multi-Turn 20" Small Loop; Single-Turn Coax Loop. ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Tue, 10 May 2011 08:06:10 -0700 (PDT) From: Glenn Hauser <wghau...@yahoo.com> To: d...@yahoogroups.com Cc: s...@mailman.qth.net Subject: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs May 9-10, 2011 Message-ID: <738483.73279...@web114016.mail.gq1.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 ** ANTARCTICA. 15476, May 10 at 1252, LRA36 with music to S9+10 level, and YL quickly mentions LRA36 as in their e-mail address. (I don`t like to convey Spanish fonetically, as everyone should at least learn its simple pronunciation scheme and numbers, but just once I will do so to assist some others in copying the ID: EH-leh, EH-reh, AH, TRAYN-tah__ee SAY-ees). 1300 strengthened noticeably during music; 1303 local weather conditions including temp way below zero, wind velocity, sky cover -- nublado = cloudy; soon started fading down after this peak (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. Firedrake May 10, with very subjective ratings: 10300, fair-good at 10300; poor at 1351 10965, fair-good at 1240; poor at 1351 11500, fair with CCI, het at 1241; only open carrier at 1350, maybe trace of FD 12240, good at 1244 12980, fair at 1244 13060, good at 1245 // others, but with ute QRM 13130, poor at 1348 13920, fair at 1348 14900, poor at 1246 15430, poor with CCI, flutter at 1346 15550, poor at 1249 vs het from 15552 15900, good at 1247; poor at 1347 16100, poor at 1345 16980, fair at 1345 with flutter (like most of them) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDONESIA. 9526-, May 10 at 1310, VOI, very poor signal and seems barely modulated too, so no way to tell if they are doing an `Exotic Indonesia` excursion to Banjarmasin or Bali this Tuesday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** IRAN. 15530, May 10 at 0535-0538 in Spanish with lengthy transmission schedule, poor signal, website; 0538 on to other talk by YL. It`s Voz de la Rep?blica Isl?mica de Ir?n, and I must have just missed the opening Cor?n, shux. Too poor to copy details, but the revised sked from DX Mix News in DXLD 11-15 shows: 0030-0227 on 9905 11760 0230-0327 on 9905 0530-0627 on 15530 17530 2030-2127 on 6055 7300 9780 Somehow they managed to stretch that to fill three minutes. 15530 is 500 kW, 289 degrees from Kamalabad (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** IRAN [non]. 17755, fair May 10 at 1325 mentions R. Farda, sounders, more in Persian. HFCC shows 100 kW, 85 degrees from Biblis, GERMANY at 12-14 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** KUWAIT. 17550, R. Kuwait, Arabic to C&W NAm, signal is improving with latening spring sunsets; May 9 at 2030 good signal even rivalling RHC 17560, nice ME music but interrupted too frequently for talk. Much of the time there is too much talk for my taste. Meanwhile, the English frequency 15540 rarely plays any music but Western pop, yecch. May 9 at 2050 news headlines about Libya, Egypt, Pakistan; 2053 music; 2055 again reading the residency and immigration law, as the MOI must mandate it to do (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** LIBYA. Reports of strikes on Tripoli broadcast installations keep on coming, but Voice of Africa from the Great Jamahiriya survives so far: 17725 inaudible yesterday, but May 10 at 1251 poor carrier in presumed Kiswahili; 1344 better with hilife music during presumed English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NIGERIA [non]. Re previous report of no Hamada Radio International on 21480 at 1400-1430: Jeff White says: ``Glenn: Since May 1 Hamada is on 7 days a week at 0530-0600 on 9610 and 1930-2000 on 11945. It has never been on 21810`` [as someone in Europe had logged it] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 15655-15680, May 9 at 2015, WWCR modulation spike spurs scratch thru this range, from S9+18 // 15825 fundamental; looked for a match around 16000, but none there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 12100, May 9 at 2023 open carrier, quickly off; 2043 back on and off briefly: no doubt WTWW testing second/third transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 9330-CUSB, May 10 at 0547, dead air from Rod Hembree`s network, the programming I find most satisfying, while the hard-sell pseudo-hip presentation of Radio 2:11 is annoying, even if I were interested in the content (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 9370, WTJC remains out of whack for more than a week, polluting the 31m band with filthy distorted spurs. Rather like squeezing a pastry with cream filling, more of it comes out around the edges than is left in the center. May 10 at 0547 the usual peaks circa 9320, 9345, 9395, 9420, with 9395 worst. Also at 1238 same setup. Dear Jesus, please make them work to fix their transmitter once and for all, and not wait till You come. Amen (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ### ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Tue, 10 May 2011 18:10:17 -0400 (EDT) From: brian384...@aol.com To: hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com Subject: [HCDX] May 8-10 Logs Message-ID: <8cddd762d9809a6-f50-1...@angweb-usm022.sysops.aol.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" ** DJIBOUTI. 4780, Radio Djibouti, *0300-0330, May 9, sign on with National Anthem.

(Brian Alexander, PA) ? ** GUINEA. 7125, Radio Conakry, 2240-2304*, May 9, vernacular talk over lite instrumental music. Some Afro-pop music and local tribal music. Abrupt sign off. Irregular.
