[HCDX] RE: Hard-Core-DX Digest, Vol 5, Issue 20 -- Message 7 re Tahiti
It's still on 738 MW. I've never heard it (too close to KCBS-740, 90 miles
or so from Sacramento), but others -- as far east as New Hampshire -- have.
For many years Tahiti was on SWBC, but a few years ago their 15167/11825
xmtrs went out and they've never ben replaced. I verified Tahiti with 4 kw
on 6135 from Dallas Texas in 1968 (Tahitian mermaid QSL card).
The Chief Engineer is reportedly a big Chicago Bulls fan.

You didn't give the time, but I suppose that's IBRA Radio which broadcasts
in several West African languages (but not Swahili) from 1900-2000 UTC on
that
frequency via Julich, Germany.
Before that VoA / Radio Free Afghanistan use that QRG for long hours in
Pashto and Dari, which sounds neither christian nor african.
You may find my website http://www.eibi.de.bu/ useful in such cases. Yet
there's no frequency-wise listing, due to lack of time and mood for
programming, but CTRL+F is "find" in most browsers and in most cases is not
too much of
a trouble.

Gary,
Botswana used to transmit on 4830 until the early nineties. After that, they
moved to 4820. Until a few years ago they also used 3356 in the 90m band,
but that one has been silent for the last few years, as far as I know.
Maybe it was not 100% clear from one of the other reactions, but the animal
sounds are not real animals. They were apparently imitations by humans.
Sounds quite good, though. Certainly something that has attacted attention
among DX-ers.
Regards,
Aart Rouw
B|hl, Germany.

to use an alternate around 4830? It's been a few years. That must be what I
remember. Or was I hoping for the return of R.Tezulutlan? 'Pretty sure it

use that same alternate 4830?

Hello !
The past night was a very good one for Latin American DX with some
semi-auroral conditions. The results aren't too good (i.e.: Caicos-530 only
very poor), but this is barely suprising considering the time of the year
when even hearing Cuba on 1180 is challenge. The best and the most
"listenable" Latin American signal was from Radio Rebelde-Cuba on 1180 kHz,
wich seem to be a regular even now in the late spring, with WHAM nulled,
here in Montreal. The high-light was getting a very propable reception of
Radio Carzpano on 1110 kHz, a station I've never heard during what most
people call as "DX season". Into the logs now:
530 TURKS AND CAICOS, Radio Vision Cristiana MAY 13 0151 - Very poor with
gospel music. (Chiochiu-QC)
1110t VENEZUELA, YVQT Radio Carzpano, Carzpano, Sucre MAY 13 0313 -
Tentative ! Woman in Spanish noted way under a strong WBT-NC. Way too poor
and also too much WBT to clearly pick up any words though. If I would have
been able to get an ID, this would have been a new one for me and my 2nd
station from the YV Sucre state (the first one was YVRZ Dos Mil on 1500 in
Cumana noted around sunset on an auroral evening in Sept. '01).
(Chiochiu-QC)
1180 CUBA, CMBA Radio Rebelde, Villa-Maria MAY 13 0142 - Fair w/ intense
fadings w/ good-quite strong and poor peaks, over / under weak remains of
nulled WHAM; sometimes interference from powerlines. Man in SS with mention
of "Rebelde" at 9:42 PM. (Chiochiu-QC)
Bogdan Chiochiu from Montreal (Pierrefonds-Est), QC using a Sanyo MCD-S830
rx with it's barefoot antenna
Also heard what sounded like WPRX on 1120 with salsa music and something
very weak on 640 mixing with WNNZ and CHGO (Radio Guadeloupe, Union
Radio-Venezuela and Radio Progreso-Cuba are all equal possible). I tried to
hear Spain-1080 wich Mark Connelly can receive from time to time with WTIC
phased, and I nulled out WTIC as much as I could, but couldn't get much of
anything. I hoped to get this one along with Portugal-1170 and Madeira or
Sao Tomi-1530 since these are even-channel TAs and in the summer adjacent
channel skip is much worse due to short-skip signals dominating and D layer
absorption wich never cease completly, not even after mid-night (the D layer
do not have the time to dissapear 100% because of too much day-light hours),
so I tried to find frequency where weak signals partly aborped by the
D-layer, in theory, are not absorbed, but couldn't find anything (there was
somethign co-channel with WSAI, but most likely WDJZ on late rather than VOA
Sao Tome or RDP Madei!
ra, let alone the Vatican).
I also got to do some SWL, on my Sangean 606. I got ranchera and mariacci
music on 6185 kHz out of Radio Educacion with some 6190 splash (Radio Havana
Cuba in SS) and got a man in SS on 6013 (I had to tune 3 kHz above the
frequency to escape from the very badly modulated RHC English service on
6000 kHz) wich was probably XEOI Radio Mil. Radio New Zealand International
was huge on 17675 kHz and soemtimes peaking to local-like; they had the
classical music program (before the pgm ended, they played two pieces by
Shubert, followed by an announcement with mentions of all the frequencies of
Radio New Zealand International to the Pacific and mentioned that this one
is on until 0500 UTC), then a very short newscast, then a program of 1930's
music. WWV was also huge on 20 MHz during the first half of the evening,
afterwards they weakened. Just after sunset, RAE was quite strong on 15345
kHz but with a loud growl making listening quite awfull. On 60 meters,
around 0153 UTC, Radio Bra!
zil Central was strong on 4985 and begun playing the Michel Brown and
Santana song. Radio Tachira had also a decent signal on 4830 kHz and WWV was
fair to strong on 5000 kHz. On 90 meters, CHU on 3330 kHz had the only
strong signal and on 120 meters I could hear almost nothing (WWV was really
extremely weak on 2.5 MHz, but maybe this had something to do with the
semi-auroral condx the past ev. ?).
That's it for now !
73 and good DX,
Bogdan

Hey everyone...
Now that this thread's gone on for a little bit...
Please remember to type a subject (e.g. "Botswana" or "animal noises at
sign-on") for your message before sending!!
I QSLed Botswana-4820 in 1986. The card says "1966-1986 MASOME MABEDI
A'NGWAGA TSA TSWELELOPELE. TWENTY YREARS OF PROGRESS" ( presumably 20
years of Bostwanan independence, 20 years of Radio Botswana, or both). I
have not heard this station for a long time, but I've always assumed that
those barnyard sound effects were real.

Now that I have the animal sounds solved...by the way Ross at
Dxrcomeau@xxxxxxx had the most interesting comment that Botswanas sounds are
not animals at all but rather humans just sounding like animals. Must be a
great country. Anyway, out on the California coast I've always wanted to log
Radio Tahiti but never had any luck. Does anyone out there know if they're
still on the air either shortwave or medium wave? Thanks Gary
