[HCDX] Fwd: Loggings from Queen Charlotte Is, B.C., Canada

[Walt Salmaniw <salmaniw@xxxxxxxx>]

SRI LANKA  15425  SLBC fair to good, with choral hymn.  Time pips at 0030, 
and time as 0630 local, with All Asia service, in English.  Parallel 9770 
also fair/good with some adjacent splash.  (Salmaniw, 21 Dec.  Queen 
Charlotte Is, BC).

Unidentified  5900  Around 0100 to 0200 always just above 
threshold.  Possible flute IS at 0100, but couldn't make out anything 
else.  Regularly heard daily.  Always wiped out later by Radio Bulgaria's 
Russian service which is often at good levels.  Could this be Central 
African Republic's Radio Ndeke-Luka?  (Salmaniw, 21 Dec.  Queen Charlotte 
Is, BC).

MADAGASCAR  15320  Radio Voice of Hope with rapid xylophone interval signal 
at 0327, then ID in English at 0330 announcing regular transmissions each 
Saturday from 730 to 830 in the evening.  "A program for the voiceless of 
Sudan".  This was the first "official" broadcast.  Reception good, with SIO 
of 3-5-4.  Parallel 12060 fair, with SIO of 2-4-3.
(Salmaniw, 23 Dec  Queen Charlotte Is, BC).

RUSSIA  15105  Radio Tatarstan at 0459:45 with interval signal twice and ID 
in Tatar.  St Petersburg mentioned.  SIO 3-5-4, making this a good high 
frequency evening.  This one has usually faded out by now.  (Salmaniw, 23 
Dec, Queen Charlotte Is, BC).

KUWAIT  15110  Just 5 Khz up from Tatarstan, Radio Kuwait in English at 
0504 with English program about Sheik Abdullah Al Salam, Kuwait's ruler in 
the late 40s and early 50s.  Poor to fair reception.  This same program 
heard later in day on 11990 at 1805 with excellent reception.  (Salmaniw, 
23 Dec.  Queen Charlotte Is, BC).

GUYANA  3289.7  Voice of Guyana just above threshold at 0510, gradually 
fading up, but never better than poor, especiallly due to a pesky ute just 
below.  (Salmaniw, 23 Dec. Queen Charlotte Is, BC).

CANADA  17865  At 1628 was expecting to hear LBH Radio via Sackville, but 
instead heard Letter from Austria, in English.  Very good 
reception.  (Salmaniw, 23 Dec.  Queen Charlotte Is, BC).

UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, DUBAI.  13675  UAE Radio Dubai, heard in English 
closing at 1633, into Arabic.  Good reception.  Parallel 13630 only 
poor.  (Salmaniw, 23 Dec.  Queen Charlotte Is, BC)

ROMANIA  15365  Radio Romania International in English at 1707 with 
ID  fair, parallels on 11940 under Arabic co-channel, 11740 good over a 
weak cochannel, and 9625 poor with cochannel interference.   (Salmaniw, 23 
Dec.  Queen Charlotte Is, BC)

ICELAND  11402  Fair to good, at 1755, seemingly in USB + carrier.  Until 
1825 sign-off.  Also heard with gongs, then into Icelandic talk at 1840 on 
13860, with narrow telephone line audio.  No parallels heard.   (Salmaniw, 
23 Dec.  Queen Charlotte Is, BC)

BULGARIA  9900  At 1802, again looking for Radio Ndeke-Luka, and instead 
heard Radio Bulgaria in Russian, with ID.  Good reception.
 (Salmaniw, 23 Dec.  Queen Charlotte Is, BC)

PAPUA NEW GUINEA  4890  NBC at 1847 (mid day here!) with Chariots of 
Fire.  Poor.   (Salmaniw, 23 Dec.  Queen Charlotte Is, BC)

KOREA (NORTH)  6575  Radio Pyongyang in English at 1908 with fair 
reception.  Parallel 9335.04 good.   (Salmaniw, 23 Dec.  Queen Charlotte 
Is, BC)

THAILAND  9535  Radio Thailand, somewhat overmodulated, otherwise excellent 
reception at 1943, about rice exports.   (Salmaniw, 23 Dec.  Queen 
Charlotte Is, BC)

ALBANIA  7210.08  Radio Albania in English with schedule at 1945.  To 
Europe, but good reception here too.  Parallel 9510 under cochannel. 
(Salmaniw, 23 Dec.  Queen Charlotte Is, BC)

SOUTH AFRICA  11640  World Beacon to Africa at 1958 with ID and Addresses 
with American preaching.  Excellent reception.  Parallel 9675 fair, and 
3230 not heard.  Sorry, I misplaced my list.  Some of these transmissions 
may be via Skelton in the UK, rather than Meyerton, SA.
 (Salmaniw, 23 Dec.  Queen Charlotte Is, BC)

ISRAEL  6280  IBA in English here as well at 2002 with fair 
reception.  Also on 15650 poor/fair.   (Salmaniw, 23 Dec.  Queen Charlotte 
Is, BC)
