Firedrake May 3: at 1353 on 13970, but not heard on any higher frequencies. At 1415 also on 9000 somewhat stronger than 8400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 6110, with lite DCJC pulsing against nothing at 0636 May 3. Must be totally uncalled-for leftover jamming from the one hour VOA Spanish uses 6110 at 2300, when it is also uncalled for, not being Radio Mart?. Every frequency-hour Cuba jams VOA should be answered by IBB jamming RHC English in retaliation. Same leftover jamming pulses audible on 9545 and 9565 at 1411 May 3, nowhere near the real times those are occupied by Rep?blica and Mart? respectively (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDONESIA [non]. VOI has become so reliable on 9525 in English at 13-14, but did not check it before 1400 May 3; at 1419 nothing but CRI Russian was audible, when they are usually colliding. So was VOI also gone during the previous hour? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS [and non]. More late-night trans-Pacific openings as high as 13 meters: May 3 at 0631, 17880 with dialog in Chinese; 17510 with different Chinese, woman speaking; 0633 also 21550 just barely audible // 17880 but slightly offset. Presumed R. Free Asia on 21550 Tinian and 17880 Saipan, while Aoki shows 17510 as RFA in Tibetan via Tajikistan during this hour only, so most likely I was hearing ChiCom jaming on that one, if not the others (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. Usual super signal from WWRB missing from 9385, May 3 at 1410, altho nearby WWCR was in on 9980, and WTJC on 9370v. Presumably off the air, and consequently the 9317 and 9453 spurs also absent! At 1733 recheck, 9385 was audible but relatively weak. Transmitter, or propagation problems? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** VENEZUELA [non]. Al?, Presidente service via CUBA finally revived on Sunday May 3: at 1520 check with non-live Ch?vez speech mixed with music, best as usual on 13750; weak on 13680 mixing with Chinese, which is CRI via Kashi, East Turkistan, commies vs commies; 17750 undermodulated; 11690 an echo apart from the others; new 12010, undermodulated with persistent RTTY on hi side 12015. 1732 recheck, still going with Ch?vez speaking, best on 13750; and now 17750 mixing with WYFR which starts at 1700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ### ------------------------------ Message: 8 Date: Sun, 3 May 2009 20:47:54 +0200 From: "Wolfgang Bueschel" <buesch...@web.de> To: "Charles Bolland_ka4prf" <ka4...@peoplepc.com>, "Walter Salmaniw" <salma...@shaw.ca>, "HCDX" <hard-core...@kotalampi.com> Subject: Re: [HCDX] ClewistonUSA Sun Morn DX Message-ID: <81683e26b5a648bca1e59fe6f5d10...@hnpc2> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1"; reply-type=original Was always on air via SW relay in Russia.

Estas dos condiciones rigen en Darfur, la regi?n sudanesa donde milicias apoyadas por el Gobierno luchan contra los grupos ?tnicos locales. Se cree que a causa de ello, al menos 300.000 personas han muerto, y otras 2,5 millones fueron desplazadas desde que comenzara el conflicto en 2003. Radio Dabanga - o Radio Darfur - es una emisora radial que va en contra de la corriente y hace periodismo independiente para los habitantes de Darfur, en Sud?n. Desde Holanda Durante esta guerra no ha sido posible dar parte de los acontecimientos desde Sud?n mismo. Sin embargo, una emisora radial que emite desde los Pa?ses Bajos, ha creado un v?nculo crucial tanto con los darfurianos en Sud?n como en otras partes del mundo. Se trata de Radio Dabanga, tambi?n conocida como Radio Darfur. La producci?n est? en manos de seis periodistas darfurianos, quienes trabajan en un peque?o estudio en la ciudad holandesa de Hilversum, y reciben el apoyo de Press Now, una organizaci?n que defiende la prensa independiente. Uno de los periodistas de Radio Dabanga es Gaafar Monro, quien en 2003 era activista por los derechos humanos y miembro electo del Parlamento sudan?s. Monro se vio obligado a abandonar el pa?s luego de escribir art?culos dando parte de lo que suced?a en Darfur. Sin censura Ahora, con la asistencia de periodistas en Darfur mismo, Monro y sus colegas pueden dar parte de pr?cticamente todo, inclusive de la orden internacional de detenci?n contra el presidente sudan?s, Omar Al Bashir, emitida por la Corte Penal Internacional. Monro explica que los medios de comunicaci?n en Sud?n no comentan nada sobre la orden de arresto contra Bashir. El periodista sin embargo disfruta de total libertad para contar la historia, y a la vez permite a los oyentes expresarse con franqueza. En este marco de libertad, tambi?n reciben llamadas de personas que defienden a Al Bashir, y sus opiniones son objeto de debates. Radio Dabanga no ha practicado ning?n tipo de censura sobre las llamadas que recibe, porque da mucha importancia a la libertad de expresi?n. Contacto con los oyentes Aunque Monro se encuentra pr?cticamente al otro lado del mundo, no considera la distancia como un problema, ya que utiliza toda la tecnolog?a disponible para recabar informaci?n. Posiblemente, la principal fuente de informaci?n de Radio Dabanga sea su audiencia. La emisora recibe un promedio de 300 llamadas por d?a de los oyentes, un n?mero sorprendente considerando los costes telef?nicos de una llamada larga distancia. Recientemente, Monro agreg? un nuevo y m?s joven grupo a su audiencia. Esto ocurri? al recibir una llamada de un grupo de estudiantes de ense?anza secundaria en Nyala, en el sur de Darfur. Los j?venes comentaron que estaban formando un club de oyentes llamado "Amigos de Radio Darfur", y que iban a comprar una radio de transistores para poder escuchar las emisiones de Radio Darfur en el instituto. Tambi?n lleg? una llamada desde Ndjamena, la capital del vecino Chad. En esta ciudad se encuentran de momento unos 250.000 refugiados darfurianos. En la llamada telef?nica se inform? que ya no hab?a m?s radios de transistores disponibles, ya que mucha gente las compraba para poder escuchar Radio Darfur. Monro tambi?n ha hablado con personal de Naciones Unidos en Darfur, quienes afirman que Radio Dabanga es la m?s escuchada en la regi?n. Al periodista le enorgullece saber esto, y afirma sentirse inspirado para trabajar a?n m?s duro. "Dabanga" es originalmente el nombre de una grande y pesada olla de barro, elemento esencial en la mayor?a de las cocinas sudanesas. Hay un dicho sudan?s que dice: "La vida es tan fr?gil como una dabanga, cu?dala con esmero". En el D?a Mundial de la Libertad de Prensa, podemos concluir que esta libertad tambi?n es tan fr?gil como la dabanga misma. ------------------------------ Message: 11 Date: Sun, 03 May 2009 15:43:03 -0400 From: aurel chiochiu <a...@videotron.ca> To: cumbr...@cs2.ralabs.com, playdx2...@yahoogroups.com, a...@yahoogroups.com, hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com, condigl...@yahoogroups.com, nrci...@aol.com, baco...@aol.com, latinm...@yahoogroups.com, m...@yahoogroups.com Cc: Juan Carlos Lemieux <elroockie...@hotmail.com>, mtardi...@hotmail.com, lacatl...@live.com, pepe8...@hotmail.com, ve2...@yahoo.com, Jorge Garcia <garcia.jorgegar...@gmail.com>, curious.geo...@att.net, Sylvain Naud <esn...@globetrotter.net>, Perez Ricardo <canadac...@hotmail.com>, jrtrevi...@free.fr, brasileiro_...@hotmail.com, "olivier.tequi" <olivier.te...@laposte.net>, da_18gu...@hotmail.com, flo-the-1...@hotmail.fr, pklo...@bigpond.net.au, bourdeau_annemari...@hotmail.com, rakaille rakaille <rakai...@hotmail.com>, o_p_nimig...@yahoo.com Subject: [HCDX] foreign LW, MW, SW and Internet WiFi logs Message-ID: <004101c9cc27$5fb07340$6800a...@b> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset=iso-8859-1; reply-type=original Warm greetings to all of you ! The solar activity stayed quiet enough to allow for some feeding-frenzy reception the past night, here in the Montreal area. I had fair to good signals on 162, 171 and 183 and, believe it or not, Iceland-189 got VERY strong. The further north you get, the longer and stronger the half-daylight / half-darkness grayline effect gets and Iceland is sitting right on the Polar cercle ! That being said, not only were the LW TAs really astonishing, but the MW Latins were so as well. While nothing properly from South America was heard during the last week, I had the pleasure, on Tuesday late night, to pick up WKAQ out of Puerto Rico on 580 kHz for the first time EVER in spring. A drawback, albeit a small one, was the lack of any mediumwave TAs, but, hey, I'd rather hear the longwave ones anyway... Just for your knowledge, I tried for 549 Algeria (since CHLN moved, this frequency is relatively clear here) and 585 Spain to no avail... I can't listen to too many highband MW TAs, because the overspills from adjacent channel NA domestics are too harmful to the reception of such weak signals from accross the pond ! See below my comments concerning the possible purchasse of a better radio than what I'm owning right now... Into the logs now: Trans-Atlantic DX 162 FRANCE France Inter, Allouis MAY 3 0310 UTC - with man talking about an undergoing litterature-related project, then a brand new oldfashionned French chanson, probably in the style of B?nabar, a singer of La Nouvelle Sc?ne. Fairly good, amazing for the month of May when the darkness path is less solid than during the fall and winter months, though enabling more D layer absorption on the lower frequencies !!!! Some botheringsome static scratches, though these static craches are not as annoying as the powerline buzz with gives a painful lethal vaccine shot to my gorgeous and innocent ears. SINPO 45232 some fading, though as with every LW signal, the fading was VERY slow, slower than on MW or SW ! (Chiochiu-QC) 171 MOROCCO Medi Un, Nador MAY 3 0410 UTC - a very eclectic and unpredictable music mix, as requested by the Medi 1 listeners. The DJ doing the request show was bilingual, French and Arabic. They even played "Without Me" by Eminem. Rising from very poor (S2 to S3) at tune in around 11 PM EDT (Eastern Delayed Time) to fair (S5) between 0400 and 0430 UTC (12 AM to 12:30 AM EDT) with grayline enhancement, then almost suddenly lost to S1 noises at 0430 UTC with the D layer absorption already undergoing, starting at 0430 UTC. This was the last LW broadcast signal to fade out ! (Chiochiu-QC) 183 GERMANY Europe 1, Felsberg MAY 3 0328 UTC - playing "Hot Stuff" by Donna Summer, then back to the Laurent Rouquier contest show... One of the participants to the Laurent Rouquier show was a contemporary dancing teacher... The guys out there seemed amazing too see such an unusual guy trying to win their contest ! They even asked him a question about global warning... Fair to occasionally good on short and slow peaks, but I had to be very careful to copy out the content, as this fair-good signal was thrown in a bunch of distant T-storm static crashes ! For those new to my DX repports, this station is located in Germany, right accross the French border, but always broadcasted in French and never in German. The reason was that prior to the 1981 Fran?ois Mitterand election, private radio was strictly prohibided from France and the very few people involved with pre-1981 French private stations had to run them from accross the border. Europe 1 is one such exemple ! (Chiochiu-QC) 189 ICELAND Rikis?tvarpid, Gufuskalar MAY 3 0320 UTC - Woman talking in Icelandic and playing obscure English-speaking oldies. VERY GOOD when detuned to 192 kHz in AM Wide mode or 191 kHz in AM Narrow mode for several minutes in a row ! I needed to detune in order to avoid a high-pitched growl on 188 kHz. I guess the Icelandic greyline is the only darkness path at the transmitter end at this time of the year... Wow ! (Chiochiu-QC) 4845 MAURITANIE Radio Mauritanie, Noukchott MAY 2 2340 UTC - playing tribal African music with a very slight Arabic flavour... Poor, but fairly clear with minor utility QRM ! (Chiochiu-QC) 9550 unID Arabic station MAY 2 around 1930 UTC - playing Arabic music including Arabic dance music and religious talk with mention of "Allah" (God). I'm puzzled on this one, since my outdated 2003 PWBR (Passport to World Band Radio) does not list anything helpful ! +MAY 3 1907 UTC - Man doing fairly dramatic Arabic talk followed by an IS (Interval Signal), more Arabic talk, then what seemed to be Christian religious music. Weird ! unID...any ideas ? (Chiochiu-QC) 9575 MOROCCO Medi Un, Nador MAY 2 2350 UTC - playing a flamenco influenced ra? vocal in the style of Radio Tarifa followed by an Arabic dance music number. Poor using the connecting cable close to our longwire to very good (but fadey) when completly connected to our longwire until blowed away by Romania sinnging on with the RRI English service on 9580 kHz after the Africa Num?ro Un sign-off when completly killed by huge China-9570 and huge Romania-9580 without the possibility to slightly detune from either QRM offender on the low side or the high one ! (Chiochiu-QC) 9580 GABON Africa Num?ro Un, Moyabi MAY 2 2330 UTC - Very poor signal noted in passing with music. When the solar activity is very low, the nighttime propagation on 9 MHz is poor because the strength of the F layer isn't very robust ! Adjacent Morocco-9575 was better, because the path to Morocco had less darkness. At this time of the year, the daylight holds longer in Morocco than in Gabon ! Morocoo has a subtropical clime, while Gabon has an equatorial clime and is almost sitting on the geographic equator ! (Chiochiu-QC) http://fr.radiocontact.be/page/radio-contact-live-on-air/15.aspx BELGIUM Radio Contact - French service, Bruxelles APR 27 2045 UTC - "Le Patoche Club" -> inside this openminded talkshow known in French as "libre-antenne" a medium named Mohad was calling on the station to say he saw the Iraq war before actually happening and was trying to tell the Belgium gouvernment to give the USA's Bush administration an ultimatum for peace, but they didn't listened him. Therefore, he was trying to obtain money from the Belgium's gouvernment ! Patoche, amazed, was trying to understand him, asking him more details about other bad events the medium was able to predict succesfully. +APR 27 2115 UTC - "Le Patoche club"; with the jock Patoche at this station receiving a phone call from a 15 years old youngster named Lo?c who failed to merge a relationship with his loved one because his "half" thought he was too smart for her. At the phone, Lo?c seemed very shy and was almost crying. Patoche was trying to understand him... One listener argued Lo?c and Mohad were the same weird guy trying to fool the jock ! Excellent Hi-fi stream ! SINPO 55555 ! (Chiochiu-QC) http://www.radio21.ro/site/Radio21Live.m3u ROMANIA Radio 21, Bucharest MAY 3 1847 UTC - playing "Desire" Intelligent Dance Music (IDM) vocal smash hit by Morris & Play & Win, followed by the "We'll Be Burning" Sean Paul well-known Dancehall ragga hit, then unknown "All I Want Is Your Kiss" dance-pop number, followed by an English spoken ID "Radio 21, your fun station", then a commercial R&B number "I'm Taking Back My Love". This station is famous for having an all-English jingle package ! Their only real show is their normingshow "Fabrica Dementa"... Aside from it, they are a fully automated Rhythmic CHR station which playes maybe 5% of rock, the rest of 95% of their music programming is either R&B, Dancehall, Latin or electronic dance music ! Excellent Hi-Fi stream ! SINPO 55555 ! (Chiochiu-QC) http://www.medi1.com/player/playlist.php?p=real_player MOROCCO Medi Un, Tanger MAY 3 1922 UTC - End of the last U2 single, the the female jock was talking about how U2 manages to build at the same time electric and melodic tracks, then introduced the last song before their 1930 UTC lengthy French newscast ! In my WiFi DX repport, I wrote "Tanger" instead of "Nador", because while the LW/SW transmitters are located in the city of Nador, the FM ones are scattered through the country and judging from the Hi-Fi sound they put into my computer speakers, they must stream the feed from a local Tanger-based FM transmitter ! Almost excellent Wi-Fi stream ! SINPO 45555 ! However at 1931 UTC, the connection went bankrupt and now I'm enjoying silence...lol. (Chiochiu-QC) Pan-American DX 555 ST KITTS ZIZ, Basseterre APR 30 0410 UTC - Very weak, realying BBC World Service. (Chiochiu-QC) 580 PUERTO RICO WKAQ, San Juan APR 30 0405 UTC - with ID sounding like "Mega" or "WKAQ 580, la emisora (?que te trae?) informaci?n ? analisis". Very good with slight QRM mainly from WTAG Worchester, MA in CFRA null ! First time ever I'm listening to Puerto Rico during the OFF-SEASON SPRING MONTHS ! Semi-regular during our fall and winter months though ! (Chiochiu-QC) 600 CUBA CMKV, Radio Rebelde, Urbano Norris APR 30 0403 UTC - with woman doing fairly dramatic chatter in Spanish, sounded cultural related. Good, but mushy signal with some fading and CKAT QRM. SINPO 43522 ! (Chiochiu-QC) 640 CUBA CMBC, Radio Progreso, Guanabacoa APR 30 0407 UTC - with man talking about the city of Matanzas (a Havana suburb, east of the capital) followed by old-fashionned Cuban music. Briefly good, then faded down to very poor and mushy with domestic QRM from WNNZ and/or CFYR (AM 640, Toronto). SINPO 42522 ! (Chiochiu-QC) http://200.6.157.20:8034/listen.pls VENEZUELA YVNM, Radio Coro, Coro, estado Falc?n APR 27 2230 - "La Informadora 7-80" with the news announcer talking about several cases of porcine flu in Colombia and in Spain ! Average stream, fairly Lo-Fi ! SINPO 45354 with a slight buzz in the background but the stream was in stereo; apparently using the Motorola C-Quam AM Stereo system which enjoys a certain degree of popularity in Venezuela ! A frequent catche DX wise, though lately conditions toward South America have been inexistent... I don't have a Motorola C-Quam AM Stereo receiver at this time, but I beat at times they will be strong enough to be picked up here in the Montreal area with a fairly clear stereo sound on 780 AM ! As far as this Wi-Fi log goes, entering the URL address into your Winamp's URL fonction, is the only way to listen to the Radio Coro's stream. The stream link on http://www.radiocoro.com/ has broken, as the web-site URL has expired since a few weeks ! (Chiochiu-QC) Additionnal comments: Boy, was I excited to receive both Europe and North Africa so late in the DX season... Unbelievable ! I always dreamed, since I came up here, to receive broadcast signals on bands NOT used in North America such as the 153-279 kHz LW band, the SW tropical bands of 120, 90, 75 (a regional band in Europe and a tropical one in Africa and Papua New Guinea !) or 60 meters and the OIRT-FM band 65-75 MHz ! Why ? It's hard to explain, maybe because those frequencies weren't featured on most radio which only had MW AM and CCIR-FM and it was like gold for me ! Now with all the IBOC hash all over the AM band, DXing the longwave or the shortwave bands is more appealing than ever ! I'm leaving for Romania on the 15th of May and will probably carry the PK's Shielded Magnetic LW loop with me in order to see how far I can get on LW in a country that has only one LW broadcaster, albeit a very big one, on 153 kHz ! I'm also looking forward meeting Romania's top DXer, Zvartoshu and I should do a priest in order to allow a huge sporadic-E opening to coincide with my visit ! I'm already subscribed to its softpedia radio-related messageboard and yesturday, while listening to either shortwave radio or Internet webcasts, I posted my first two messages ! At the end of March, another fairly excentric guy, at least as excentric as I am, with roots in both Brazil and Angola, came to my house and after a succesfull demonstration of huge, albeit routine mediumwave DX signals, on the Sanyo MCD-S830 barefoot, we promised to meet sometime in downtown Montreal to look for some used receivers. There are some "sweet spots" in downtown, at La Arm?e du Salut, where they sell old radios. Maybe after we get back from Romania in early June, if we don't find an affordable communication receiver sometime soon ? As far as my equipment goes, I see that the telescopic antenna of my Sangean 818 is almost beginning to die... If I place it on a weird position or if I play too much with it, I seem to loose almost all SW signals and most of the weaker semi-locals on FM... I also see that most of the empty FM frequencies in my area have this awful and really ugly CBF 95.1 / 105.7 Rythme FM (ex CFGL) mix which I didn't had before to such a botheringsome extent ! I wonder if there is a solution with it... The telescopic antenna does not appear to be broken, just weaker in terms of performance and...well...more fragile. It seems for some unknown reason that for good SW reception, both the telescopic antenna must be in a good place and the random wire attached to a Yagi I never used must be connected; if one of those elements is missing, then reception is abysmal ! I was hesitant to replace my Sanyo and Sangean receiver for one main reason: I love airchecking ! Both the Sanyo MCD-S830 Hi-Fi portable and Sangean have tape decks and what I love the most about this hobby is taping, especially the music and the jingles and playing back until I learn them by heart or until I get tired of them ! Is there any way to aircheck from a Drake R8B... It's not impossible we'll purchase an used one for EBay... After all, it is thanks to EBay, we were able to purchasse the PK loop and it is thanks to this loop I got involved in LW broadcast DXing... That being said, if someone friendly is finding an used receiver, I would be glad if he could let me know. It will be 10 years next year, since I'm involved PROFFESIONNALLY in this hobby and I don't want to miss out weak signals. I just want to know if there is a receiver even better than a Drake and more important HOW TO RECORD WHAT I'M HEARING... I see most DXers only want to pick up as many stations as possible, but for me the program content is very appealing. I see myself somewhere between a hard-core DXer and a SWLer (though LWLer or MWLer would be more correct). I saw lots of encouranging comments regarding Kenwoods and Icom... I see that the Perseus receiver is top-shape, but it is probably too expensive for now... Still, it wouldn't hurt to learn more about it. Another thing I NEED to find on EBay until 2012 when the sun will probably be exploding once again would be an OIRT-FM tuner or maybe a Japanese one. F2 is more likely to reach 65 or 76 MHz than 88.1 where our FM band begins and I have a local on A6 with the sound right on 87.75 MHz, so between 87.5 and 88.0 I will never receive FM DX here (at this QTH) ! I had some DX related dreams during the last night. Bruce Conti was complaining he miss badly the solar storms and the huge auroral openings toward South America related to them with North American and European signals suppressed on mediumwave and the fact he can't understand exactly why the Sun is quieter than it should be, as we are slowly moving away from the "theoretical" solar minimum... Well, after the above-average late-season longwave Trans-Atlantic opening of the past evening, I only wished it has occured in December... I already begun to love things from the other side of the pond a bit more than the ever-familiar tropical sounds coming from the next shore of the Caribbean sea ! I also dreamed I was able to pick up HCFA2 Radio Tropicana on 540 kHz from Guayaquil, Ecuador... It's been a long time since I last had any radio-related dreams, perphaps because during most of April, as buzzy with schooling as I was, I did very little in the way of DXing until the last couple of days ! Another reason for the relative lack of DXing was some slight solar activity, too slight to produce auroral enhancement toward the south but not too slight to allow for good east-west paths ! Since the 23rd of April, however, the solar activity's A indices stayed below 5 and the K ones hover around 1 or 2 which seems almost perfect for east-west paths on longwave ! As far as the exams goes, I was lucky to be able to squeeze out some time for DXing and for repporting here, as the next week I will be almost visiting Hell ! I have 3 exams on Wensday between 9 AM and 4:30 PM, so wish me good luck ! Adding to that, I become member to a Romanian messageboard which has a DX-related section on it, so don't be mad if you don't hear from me too often during the next couple of months... That being said, if I happen to come accross something OUTSIDE North America on 88.1 - 107.9 MHz FM via sporadic-E, you'll be the first to know about it ! My most likely target would be the Bahamas which has strong stations on 104.5 and 100.3. I still have the FM tuner Mike Bugaj gave to me several years ago and I will do my best to take the dust out of it and to connect it to the Yagi in our fairly big backyard when I comeback from Romania... We tried to do some antenna work the last summer, but due to record-breaking rain storms, our plan never could be accomplished ! For now, during the last weeks of May, hearing exotic FM DX would be easy since Romania is within 1Es from several fairly exotic Middle Eastern nations ! Last, but not least, while extensive studies may prevent me from writing down on a piece of paper my logs, I will do my best to at least LISTENING, if NOT REPPORTING those elusive catches that are still there year-round on the lower frequencies, as Mark Connelly told me several times "the DX season never really dies" and I will do my best to catch my first sporadic-E FM opening this year before flying to Romania. This repport is brought to you by Bogdan Alexandru Chiochiu, DXing from Pierrefonds (Montreal's West Island), QC Equipment used: Sangean ACS 818-CST / PK's Shielded Magnetic longwave loop COMBO for LW Sanyo MCD-S830 / internal ferrite bar antenna COMBO for MW Sangean ACS 818-CST / random wire in our yard COMBO for SW May the good DX be with you ! Bogdan Chiochiu Btw. I: Apologies for having send some Internet logs, but to the ABDX online group to which I'm a member since January, the Internet "WiFi" logs are more than allowed; they are even encouraged... There is even a section for WiFi DXing in the ABDX publication ! Btw. II: If you know a place on the web where I can discuss medium-priced used communication receivers for 1 kHz TA splits, if you know a website with critics regarding receivers tuning LW, MW or SW and if somebody could guess what's the name of the arabic station I'm getting on a regular basis on 9550 kHz at this time with a poor to good signal, please let me know...

This was followed with comments from a male and female. A logging by A. Petersen on April 20, 2009 identified a broadcast here at this time as GTRK, Russia. The WRTH-09 on page 456 gives a schedule for Tatar/Russian from 0910 to 1000 on 11915 KHz -"NA VOLNE TATARSTANA". That's probably a year old by now and possibly but not certain, they moved up 10 KHz to 11925 since then. Infact after a few brief comments by a female and some music, the Interval Signal for Russia'sVOR is heard for a minute at 0957 then off the air. Signal never improved beyond poor.
