[HCDX] Fwd: [DXplorer] Loggings from Victoria,BC, Canada



Fellas, here are some loggings for the past weeks.  Not as much time as I would normally like, but with the in-laws visiting, 10 deliveries in the past couple of weeks, etc, has left me with less than enough time.  Nonetheless, here they are.  I tried for RASD, below on 7460 last night, but could only hear a carrier, by the way.  The R. Nac spelling is directly from the ILG database and then using the Scan320db program for logging.  Not the usual way I've seen it spelt (in case you were wondering).  Happy New year to you all!.......Walt.



ALGERIA 7460, 0721-0800, R.NAC.SAHARAGUI P.F. Jan 5 Strong reception  with
local Arabic sounding pop vocals.  Solid S7 to S9 signal.  Occasional ute
QRM on USB.  Went back and checked MD recording.  Deteriorated reception,
as one would expect with daylight at transmitter by 0730.. Mentions of
Arabiya and democratiya at 0730, and short ?news items , followed by longer
items and a speech.   Into brief  National Anthem as per Dave Kernick's IS
website  at 0800 following a short announcement in Arabic.  Then off.

BANGLADESH 9550.00, 1745-1815*, Voice of Islam Dec 30 Weakly heard this
morning with time check at 17:45, then English ID as the Voice of
Islam.  On exact frequency today.  Into Koran.  Fair at best.  No other
parallels noted today.  Improving signal with nice ID, IS and address given
at 18:14.  Followed by time check and same IS tune, but the audio which
followed was far inferior to the Voice of Islam.  Very low
modulation.  ?Produced in different studios, possibly.  ID at 18:16:50 as
the External Service of Bangladesh Betar, and into news in English.

CROATIA 13830, 1805-, CROATIAN RADIO Dec 30 Croatian news at fair
levels.  Haven't heard this station direct from Croatia before. Parallel
9830 poor to fair. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC, Canada)

GERMANY 15715, 1700-1800*, VO OROMO LIBERATION Dec 30 Nice sign on without
IS, a few seconds after sign-off of Voice of Hope.  Stronger than
them.  Oromo, frequency and meter clearly heard in opening ID in presumed
Oromo.  Is this indeed from Nauen, or is this Julich?  S9 signal.
(Salmaniw, Victoria, BC, Canada)

IRAN 9790, 0331-0527*, VO ISLAMIC REV.OF IRAQ Dec 30 Messy frequency
tonight.  This station heard with a 1 kHz tone at 03:30, then into an ID
and presumed National Anthem.  Other nights, this one is in the clear, but
tonight it's cochannel with RFI in French.  11660 is a bit stronger with
CNR 2 just audible underneath.  7100 is at fair strength. (Salmaniw,
Victoria, BC, Canada)

KOREA-SOUTH 6348, 1718-, ECHO OF HOPE Dec 30 S7 to S9 signal with presumed
news, easilly overpowering a feeble jammer, with news (mentions of Beirut
and Taipai heard) in Korean. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC, Canada)

KUWAIT 9880, 1723-, R.KUWAIT Dec 30 Rarely reported frequency in Arabic
with fair signal.  Parallel to superbly propagating 11990.  Fantastic
audio.  Very clean.  Wish all of the broadcasters in the Arabic world did
as well!. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC, Canada)

MALI 11960, 17:56-1800*, R.Mali Dec 30 Superb S9+10 to S9+20 reception with
male DJ with like bantering with callers in French.  He signed off at
17:59:30 followed by the IS and canned sign-off by YL.  This continued
until 18:00:30 with sign-off, followed coincidently with immediate sign-on
of VOA at 30 seconds past the TOH.  Strange!. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC, Canada)

OMAN 15575, 0315-, BBC LONDON Dec 30 BBCWS with S9+20 signal.  Marred
slightly by pulse jammer (?from where). News program. (Salmaniw, Victoria,
BC, Canada)

PHILIPPINES 11890, 1730-1930*, R.PILIPINAS Dec 30 Excellent reception at
sign-on, though telephone like audio.  Many mentions of Radio Pilipinas,
the Voice of the Philippines, with incorrect frequencies, in
Tagalog.  Announces 11720, 11890 and 17720 instead of the correct 11730,
11890 and 15190. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC, Canada)

RUSSIA 7175, 0714-, R.TIKHIY OKEAN Dec 30 Test tones from 0710 or
earlier.  At 0715 Govorit Vladivostok.  Superb S9+40 signal.  There has
been some confusion over the exact time, with reports of 0615, but
confirmed here tonight.  Russian. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC, Canada)

RUSSIA 11840, 0112-, R.Rossii Dec 30 R. Rossii, easilly overpowering HCJB
with Russian talk.  Normally difficult to hear when HCJB occupies the
frequency. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC, Canada)

USA 10000, 0318-, Time Signal Radio     WWV Dec 30 Did I miss something
here?  No propagation forecast heard at 18 minutes past the hour.  How
come?  Both WWV and WWVH well heard at this time, as well as a morse ID for
another station. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC, Canada)
