Re: [HCDX] Good Shortwave Station List

Hi James and everybody, There is one called "iocham" (either .txt of .dbf, readable in Excel). I found this last autumn using http://www.docuchannel.net/ . I believe the files are old (B07), and I do not know whether they will be updated. The format is "ILG", though.

Re: [HCDX] SW R Africa from Norway

Indeed, a very strong signal (9+40dB) in my QTH, too. The Rampisham signal *here* used to be about S=5, and I guess that the target area reception was about adequate in those days. I hope that the signal strength is better now also in Africa (a more "suitable" skip etc.). 7

** UNIDonia: Probably Zimbabwe on 4828 kHz at about 1830 UTC, May 28, 2007. African music, deep QSB at times, very poor reception, no idea of the language used. Another weak carrier detected on 4828.002, causing some "whining" - this may be local interference. 73 de Matti Ponkamo
