[HCDX] Loggings from Victoria, Canada

CANADA 9625, 0505-, CBC North Quebec Service Jun 7 Superb 5-5-5 reception in English until TOH then into indiginous language, then sign-off announcement in French with frequency, studio location and transmitter locations, phone number (they accept collect calls), and off with National Anthem until 0508, and then a single tone and into open carrier. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC)

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 7535, 0559-, WHRI Jun 10 Using WHSB's former transmitters, now carrying WHRI programming. Sign off at 0558, then at 0600 sign to eastern Canada at 25 degrees. 'This is WHRI International, broadcasting over WHSB Cypress Creek, South Carolina.' Excellent reception. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC)

CUBA 11760, 2309-, Radio Nacional del Venezuela Jun 11 Very good reception with ID and address in Spanish, and Venezuelan music. Many mentions of Venezuela. Full ID at 2311, and mentions of Simon Bolivar. 'Republica Bolivaria Venezuela'. // to 9820 but not in sync. Wonder why?. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC)

PAPUA AND NEW GUINEA 4960, 1231-, Catholic Radio Network (CRN) Jun 12 I wonder whether CRN has made antenna adjustments to minimize radiation beyond PNG, or are they off again? Last weekend reception was at times almost good here in Victoria, but since then it has been virtually non-existant, whereas 4890 continues at a good level. I'm glad I've heard them when I did! I'm sceptical that it's just poor propagation. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC)

AUSTRALIA 15435, 1234-, HCJB Australia Jun 12 Poor reception of DXPL. At the same time direct from Quito on 12005 is excellent, though not exactly in parallel. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC)

VIETNAM 9550, 1251-, Voice of Vietnam Jun 12 Very strong reception of VOV's Russian service with talk of Russian-Vietnamese relations. Way over Cuba, and no sign of Bangladesh at this time. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC)

BANGLADESH 7185.0, 1252-, Bangladesh Betar Jun 12 English programming at good level with decent modulation today. This station is often heard with poor modulation. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC)

USA 7505, 1309-, KTBN Jun 12 5-5-5 reception of KTBN with TV feed, so still on the air, at least for now. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC)

ICELAND 13855, 1316-, AFRTS Jun 12 Fair reception with discussion of putting Ronald Reagan on the $20 bill. // to Pearl Harbor on 6350U and Guam on 5765U (both at good to very good levels). (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC)

UZBEKISTAN 15295, 1330-, Radio Tashkent Jun 12 Best frequency with IS and into English programming. Only at poor level, and // to 17775. Unable to hear other listed //. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC)

MEXICO 4810, 0301-, XERTA Jun 13 Presumed on this frequency. A very difficult catch due to the very noisy ute on both USB and LSB. Lots of Spanish talking and piano music in between. The only way I could monitor is to use a Timewave 599zx with a narrowed bandwidth. The signal would be quite good if not for the unwanted utility noise (no CODAR, but a very loud buzz on both USB/LSB heard widely, it seems). (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC)

PHILIPPINES 11795, 1544-, Radio Blagovest Jun 13 Excellent reception in Russian, with Protestant type programming in Russian, with organ music (foreign to the Russian church), then ID 'Vy sluyshayte Radio Blagovest', followed by Moscow address, and finally 'Radio Blag'. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC)

CHINA 17719.98, 1556-, Radio Canada International Jun 13 RCI in English to India with sign-off announcements, including parallel of 15455 and then immediately off. Good level. I wasn't quick enough to check the //. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC)

PAKISTAN 15100, 1602-, Radio Pakistan Jun 13 English news at fair+ level on exact frequency. End of the news and transmission at 1615. I did not hear any // today. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC)

FINLAND 15400, 1632-, Radio Finland Jun 13 Rarely reported anymore. Very strong reception in Finnish with what I assume is a sermon with slight reverb/hollow sound like in a large church/cathedral. Too bad no English :( At 1644:30 went into organ music and choir. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC)
