Hello to all of you !
First of all shortly after I posted on HCDX and the
other lists about my reception of Cuba-1180 on the night of June 18 my computer
was locked and when I restarted it didn`t work properly anymore (we had a very
big virus) and then on June 28 I did leave for a summer camp wich I didn`t like
at all (the worst thing was that a little child of 9 years old did broke the
tape recorder of my Sanyo portable). My father will look for a repairer tomorrow
or Saturday.
Using my Sangean 606 portable with it`s telescopic
whip on Wensday July 2, I heard 105.7 Rythme FM with the recognizable voice of
Mario Lirette, as well as Mix 96 IDs and Justin Timberlake "Show Me The River"
on 95.9 (this was splattering a little bit into the CBC local on 96.1 !) as well
as CKOI obviously (wich was often heard via tropo-scatter as well), CKOO Cool FM
98.5 and more surprisingly Q92 (CFQR 92.5) wich don`t get out too well east
of Montreal (when I heard tropo-scatter from 95.9 and 96.9 just west of Quebec
City on the car-radio, 92.5 was COMPLETLY empty), and tentative CISM 89.3. There
were interferences from a semi-local station on 99.7 (Mix Quatre-Ving Dix-Neuf
Sept), so I couldn`t hear CJPX. Nothing from Ottawa though, 93.9 had weak
Quebecor French and the other Ottawan channels were either empty or with weak FF
semi-locals or adjacent channel splatter.
Now I`m back and one of the first things I did read
today was the accomplishment of TA-FM DX by UK guys. Paul Logan had a station in
Maine (WHCR) along with New-Foundland and Quebec signals; he also had unID pop
music on 95.9. In my opinion, this was almost certainly Mix 96 (CJFM) wich is
was one of the extremely few good local stations (in my opinion) here. They were
audible weakly with signal variations past Trois-Rivières en route to the Summer
Camp wich is near Quebec City, in Beauport. They were also very strong in full
stereo during the
Paul Logan, I really think you had Mix 96 on 95.9
wich would make a triple-hop FM opening if this is possible (Montreal is a bit
far for 2Es from Northern Ireland). I suggest you send a recording to the
station as soon as you can. They have a web-site at http://www.themix.com/.
73 and good DX !
