[HCDX] Loggings from Victoria, BC

[Walter Salmaniw <salmaniw@xxxxxxxx>]

Here's some loggings from Victoria, BC.  Glenn, as you can see for my China 
entry, 17720 continues cochannel RCI and CRI.  Some pretty half-decent 
reception conditions of late.  An improvement over a few weeks ago.  Good 
DX everyone!..................Walt.

CANADA  6029.95  CFVP Calgary.  Haven't heard them reported for a while, so 
decided to check them out.  Definitely there at 0000 13 May, with oldies 
format.  Poor to fair on that day.  Improved over the next hour.  Best 
heard by far with my R390A and SE-3.  A perfect match for the oldies 
format!  Much better than my 2050, my usual premier receiver.  Open carrier 
of Radio Marti at 0059, but able to hear full ID for AM 1060 CKMX Calgary 
at that time.  Also heard at 2141 on 18 May on 6029.93 with ID.

CHINA  17720  An interesting frequency. See also France below.  Just before 
TOH, at 1459, I can weakly hear the Voice of Hope ID (Guam), then an almost 
equal match between CRI in English and RCI also in English, via Xian 
China.  I'm able to select several antennae to allow one or other broadcast 
to dominate.  Heard this morning, 20 May with good to very good 
reception.  (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC  20 May)

TAIWAN  15059.24  Radio Taipai International in Mandarin at 1521 with very 
good to excellent signals.  Light bantering between a YL and OM, and modern 
Chinese vocals.  Very westen sounding.  Parallel to 15125 which is weaker, 
and seemingly jammed.  (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC  20 May)

RUSSIA  17645  University Network via Samara at 1526 with usual tape loop 
of phone numbers, back into normal programming at 15:30:30.  Fair, with 
lots of splash from 17640 RFA.  Haven't been able to hear this one 
before.  (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC  20 May)

MEXICO  6184.96  Radio Educacion.  I'm always amazed how strong they are 
heard here.  Easilly the most powerful LA domestic station heard in 
Victoria.  Sounds more like 100 Kw than 10.  Heard at 06:20 with English 
language ballads.  ID at 0629.  (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC  20 May)

FRANCE  21620  Don't you believe the published schedule for English.  At 
0618, I'm only hearing French.  Poor level, parallel to stronger 
17800.  I've not heard them at this time in English.  Now at 1455, they are 
audible in English.  Heard them on 11610 at good level, just behind 17720 
with interview with Rev Jesse Jackson at Cannes.

AUSTRALIA  21680  Radio Australia via Darwin heard in Indonesian at 0005 
poor to fair.  (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC  20 May)

EUROPIRATE  15070  Alfa Lima International at 0000 poor to fair with their 
typical modern music format.  Always sounds the same to me!  Better at 
0030.  (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC  20 May)

SOUTH AMERICAN PIRATE:  14566 LSB  Radio Blandengue, presumed at 0013 with 
just about threshold signal only.  Nothing when checked at listed sign-on 
at 0000l
(Salmaniw, Victoria, BC  20 May)

GUATEMALA  5954.97  Radio Cultural.  Good signal at 0448.  No ID at TOH, 
but full ID at 0507:30 and again at 0508.  Off at 0510.  All in 
Spanish.  (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC  17 May).

GUYANA 3291.40  GBS  has been a regular here with poor to fair signals 
around 0446.  Sports programming at 0446.  0514 parallel and just behind 
BBCWS on 6175.  A little worse when rechecked at 0600.  (Salmaniw, 
Victoria, BC  17 May).

MALAYSIA  15294.86  Voice of Malaysia at 1640.  Supposedly listed as 
Arabic, but not so when checked.  Much more likely Malay, very akin to 
Indonesian programming.  Light chatter.  Fair reception.  (Salmaniw, 
Victoria, BC  19 May)

PAKISTAN  15100.49  Radio Pakistan in English with news at 1603.  Fair 
reception and parallel to 15723.97 poor.  Ran out of time to check for 
other parallels.  (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC  19 May)

ALBANIA  9539.90  Radio Tirana in English at 2151 poor to fair.  I thought 
that it might have been Radio Tashkent, but ending with "Goodbye Dear 
Listeners" and ID at 2156.  (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC  18 May)

UK  11680  Seldom reported BBC to Falklands still here at 2142 on a 
Friday.  Ended at 2143:30 with "have a good weekend".  Used USB to avoid 
Pyongyang on 11679.75 at the same time.  Poor reception.  (Salmaniw, 
Victoria, BC  18 May)
