[HCDX] Loggings from Victoria, BC
A few items from this morning, plus a few almost stale items
from the past week and a bit.........Walt.
COLOMBIA 6139.81, 0636-, Radio Melodia Feb 19 Nice reception of this
station with many mentions of Colombia, Bogota, and Melodia. About
an S5 signal, with a minimal het. EZL Spanish vocals. (Salmaniw,
Victoria, BC)
ETHIOPIA 9561.07, 1601-, Radio Ethiopia Feb 22 Fair reception of a
variety program in English presented by a man and woman with modern
western music. A very tough frequency with loud hets and much
adjacent splatter. A real tough assignment for my HF-2050 which
outperforms the AOR 7030+ by a wide margin in this instance. (Salmaniw,
Victoria, BC)
TIBET 9490, 1628-, Tibet PBS Feb 22 Fair reception with Tibetan music to
BOH. Then started to hear some local noise and unable to identify
the language afterwards. Do people still hear the English program
at this time? Various other parallels weaker. (Salmaniw, Victoria,
BC)
NORWAY 18940, 1613-, Radio Afghanistan Mar 1 Strong signals with clean
modulation and no fading. Nice ID at 1615 after a brief fanfare as
'Radio Afghanistan'. Off without ID at 1630. (Salmaniw, Victoria,
BC)
UNKNOWN 15530, 1621-, BFBS Mar 1 Fair reception with sports play by
play. Of my 6 available antennae, the 25 MHz vertical provided best
reception. Slightly echoey with frequent short fades. I
believe this favours a European (or Middle East) location. Parallel
to very weak 5945, which must be to the east (again Europe or middle
east), and definitely not the far east. (Salmaniw, Victoria,
BC)
KOREA (NORTH) 6575, 1612-, Voice of Korea Mar 1 Strong signal with
somewhat muddy modulation in Russian with international news items by
OM. Parallel to cleaner 9324.94. At same time English is
heard with very good reception on 9335.15 with very clean modulation with
usual political diatribes. Parallel 7505 heard under KTBN, and
11335.03 (poor/fair), and 11709.91 (buzzy). Transmitters are
variable. For example at 11:23 now on 9335.09 and drifting
downwards. Signed off in English with full schedule, followed by
'Please wait for the next time. This is Pyongyang.'. (Salmaniw,
Victoria, BC)
SINGAPORE 6150, 1534-, Radio Singapore Mar 2 Domestic service in English
with news, and ID as 'News Radio 938', followed by sports news.
Fair to good esp with LSB to avoid a het from 6150.67. Any ideas
who this might be? Bayrak?. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC)
