Two things: first of all, I moved back to Pierrefonds for the NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS and secondly, I saw last night the Pirate Radio movie... The characters were much more original and less robotical than those of Hollywood and the topic was as original as it could be... Wow ! Into the logs: Trans-Atlantic DX 183 GERMANY Europe 1, Felsberg NOV 21 0503 - French politics noted in passing while trying succesfully for Iceland-189 and unsuccesfully for Morocco-171. (Chiochiu-PierrefondsQC) 189 ICELAND Rikis?tvarpid, Gufuskalar NOV 21 0536 - playing a very beautiful 80s Icelandic melodic new wave track followed by an instrumental Techno-Dance cover version. Very good, almost excellent ! I didn't listened it on the Sangean or I would had airchecked it ! SINPO 45454. (Chiochiu-PierrefondsQC) 198 ENGLAND BBC Radio 4, Droitwhich NOV 19 2255 - Man with news about something happening overnight. Poor and barely readable, but always nice to hear ! (Chiochiu-HochelagaMaisonneuveQC) 252 ALGERIA Alger Cha?ne 3, Tipaza NOV 19 2232 - Arabic dance music over Ireland and the NDBs (non-directional navigational beacons for the non-DXers reading this). Fair ! (Chiochiu-HochelagaMaisonneuveQC) 585 SPAIN Radio Nacional de Espa?a, Madrid NOV 21 0455 - Man in Spanish discussing the topic of several Spaniard soccer teams. Fairly good through an annoying computer growl with very slight adjacent channel splatter ! SINPO 34232-1 as the computer growl was really bothersome ! (Chiochiu-PierrefondsQC) Pan-American DX 550 VENEZUELA YVKE, Mundial, Caracas, Distrito Federal NOV 20 0650 - program of trad. YV mx (an even mix of gaitas and m?sica llanera) with woman host. ID around 0659 GMT as "Y-V-K-E Mundial" with Y pronounced "Jie" instead of "I Griega" as usually done by YVs and even by this station. Slowly fading from poor to good and back-up and topping semi-local WEVD Waterbury and semi-regular WGR Buffalo, but the QRM underneath YVKE was still quite bothersome for a non-DXer. Therefore, I will write SINPO 42532 ! 2nd time in 2009-2010 yet ! This is the third easiest YV after YVKS-750 and YVNM-780, but lousy conditions toward South America makes it a poor third - hi ! (Chiochiu-PierrefondsQC) 640 CUBA CMBC, Radio Progreso, Guanabacoa NOV 20 0635 - Adult Contemporary music program with woman host. Good in an almost graveyard-like jumble with two domestics and perphaps a second Latin. The strongest station on this channel was AM 640 Toronto. (Chiochiu-PierrefondsQC) 780 VENEZUELA YVNM, Radio Coro, Coro, Falc?n NOV no time - easily heard in a tight WBBM null at both the Hochelaga Maisonneuve and Pierrefonds QTHs the past week. However, at the Hochelaga Maisonneuve, I had a buzz popping up 1 minute out of two ruining what was otherwise a semi-local like signal ! In the meantime, you can always hear them streaming on the web, waiting for them to fade in as the sun sets ! http://200.6.157.20:8034/listen.pls is the first step for your WiFi log on ABDX ! (Chiochiu-PierrefondsQC / Chiochiu-HochelagaMaisonneuveQC) Additional comments: If any of you wants to exchange with me airchecks of French, Belgian, Romanian, French Caribbean, Pan American, American and Canadian dance or AOR stations from the 70s, 80s and EARLY 90s, please let me know ! Aventure FM and MaXXimum are my favorites though ! We're trying to figure out how to make WAV and MP3 files for once again sharing them with many digital airchecks collectors ! We may be using the computer downstairs, down in the basement, for that purpose ! The WiFi of my friend broke two weeks ago, but the temptation is lower... I now think AM Stereo is a bigger challenge than WiFi listening... That being said, the Meducci AM Stereo tuner seems to be gone ! What would be the next step if I want to DX X-band AM Stereo signals ? http://meduci.com/amx2000.html ! Has KCJJ-1630 reduced power ? When I tried to get it the last night (in Mono), I got nothing between CJWI-1610 and CJRS-1650 ! This report is brought to you by Bogdan Alexandru Chiochiu, DXing from Hochelaga Maisonneuve (south-east of MTL) and from the main QTH in Pierrefonds (Montreal's West Island), QC May the good DX be with you !

Instead parallel 11940 RRI in music-culture show announced in Romanian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SUDAN [non]. 17745, SRS via PORTUGAL, Sat Nov 21 at 1530 tune-in, English talk by M&W, heavy accent and heavy echo but not during the music breaks. Same date, Brian Alexander was hearing them in English from *1459 but Arabic at 1529, as per WRTH saying English is Sat/Sun only. But back in English when I intuned (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. ``Ears to Our World``, the PCJ Media special about radio in Africa, was repeated at 1400 UT Sat Nov 21 on WRMI 9955, but DentroCuban jamming was at about the same level, sometimes on top. Tnx a lot, Arnie! I only heard the first quarter on the first airing UT Fri Nov 20 at 0200 when it pre-empted WORLD OF RADIO, so hope the entire file will be availablized at http://www.pcjmedia.com/Other_PCJ_Shows.html but not yet as of 1945 UT Nov 21 (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. Surprised to hear Martha Garvin`s ``Musical Memories`` Sat Nov 21 at 1407 on 7490, i.e. following ``Rock the Universe`` at 13-14 on WWCR-3. Per the current pdf program grid dated Nov 1, the Sat 1400-1430 program is supposed to be Country Crossroads. MM has Martha accompanying herself loudly on piano, belting away hymns and somewhat secular songs on a theme: this week, what else, Thanksgiving, with ``We Gather Together`` as I intuned, and after some comments, next on to Irving Berlin`s ``Count Your Blessings``, and at 1414 ``Great Is Thy Faithfulness``. MM is on the WWCR grid as follows: Sat 1530 on 15825, Sun 1100 on 5070, Tue 1830 on 15825, Wed 1330 on 15825 --- so this week at least, she`s on a frequency with a big signal, and at a waking hour! However, 7490 had massive distortion from selective fading on top of WWCR`s audio processing, not ideal for music in the first place. MM is missing from the program linx page at http://www.wwcr.com/pgm-links.html but googling soon finds her website http://www.musicalmemoriestv.com/ ``OLD SONGS OF THE CHRISTAIN [sic] FAITH!" with portrait where several of her shows are available online and by DVD. Google also reminds us that she is or was also on WINB but her website gives no SW schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 13845, WWCR with PMS, Nov 21 at 1434 and QRM from WEWN 13835 parasitic hash which always accompanies at least one of its transmitters plus and minus 10 kHz. We have been outpointing this for months, but it goes on and on. Perhaps a direct complaint from victim adjacent stations WWCR, and in other cases WYFR, would get something done about it, unless nobody really cares! Not that I am dying to hear PMS, DGS or BS on 13845 nor anything from WYFR e.g. 11530, 15600. Catholix vs Protestants, or whatever they are (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 6074, 8GAL, CQ/V ID marker from 8GAL just barely audible, Nov 21 at 1400 following grossly out-of-synch timesignals between R. Rossii, 6075, Pet/Kam signing off, and CNR1/Taiwan radio war already in progress. While I hate to `lose` the all-too-brief, 8GAL signal, with the BFO originally zeroed on 6075 audibilizing the CW, I did downtune quickly to reconfirm it`s really on 6074 as the pitch of the CW decreased to zero (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 7660 approx., Nov 21 at 1416 someone singing distortedly as I tuned across. Not AM, and not SSB either as I switched on BFO, so maybe NBFM, but soon gone and did not come back in next few minutes, to downpin frequency which could be +/- 5. Possibly 2 x 3830 or so, some ham around-playing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ### ------------------------------ Message: 12 Date: Sun, 22 Nov 2009 01:13:48 -0000 From: "Jorge Freitas \(Yahoo\)" <jorgefreitas_...@yahoo.com.br> To: "Hard Core DX" <hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com>, <cumbr...@n2jeu.net> Subject: [HCDX] LOG 21/Nov Message-ID: <900749.38138...@smtp146.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Sorry English google.
