[HCDX] Loggings for the Past Week

[Dave Valko <djvalko@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

USA   1640  WPVY987, Clearfield PA (TIS), 2320 short road construction loop 
w/ID by M.  Found QTH on FCC web site.  Never hrd this before, but its only 
about 60 miles away.  (Valko 23 July)

BOLIVIA   6079.97  R. San Gabriel, 0857-1002, Canned anmnts at t/in then 
tlk in Aymara by usual M and W.  On this morning fairly strong and in the 
clear w/no sign of Australia until it suddenly appeared at 1001 w/ABC nx 
already in progress.  Both stns abt equal then.  (Valko 24 July)

BOLIVIA   6155.07  R. Fides, 0904-0932, Pleasant campesino and Ranchera mx 
w/animated M anncr host giving many many accurate UTC-4 TCs.  0907 M 
briefly w/roosters crowing in background.  There was some sort of nx pgm 
with sound-bits/reports by diff. M. from 0911-0920.  Ments of 
Bolivia.  Back to mx at 0920.  Long tlk by M over mx 0925-0935+.  Break for 
time ticks at BoH, and cont. tlk.  Caught ment of Santa Cruz at 
0932.  Would've been easy copy if not for the terrible slop QRM from 
6150.  Fading after 0915.  First time heard on this freq in the morning in 
a long time, and also heard in the evening at 0100.  Not hrd in the 
mornings on subsequent checks when I was able.  (Valko 24 July)

FRENCH GUIANA??   6110  BBC, Hrd w/PT pgming from as early as 0755 to past 
1000.  Plays a lot of ZY contemporary Pops and BBC promos.  Hrd ments of 
Brasil, nacional and thought hrd ments of Mato Grosso which had me fooled 
into thinking this was a ZY stn.  Certainly sounds like one.  Hrd BBC IDs 
around the ToH.  Looking at the BBC Web site shows that there are no longer 
any xmsns to Central and South America, and no ment of 6110 on the other 
xmsns, so what's going on here??  (Valko 28 July)

UNID.   4993.43  UNID., Drifted down and found here at 1001 this morning 
but getting TV noise.  Had to leave and couldn't leave the recorder run as 
storms in the area.  W tlk in lang., M at 1005.  Still not strong 
enough.  Hrd on the HQ-129X as well.  Seems to be on only 1000-1030.  Not 
Apintie as it is presumably on 4990.  (Valko 28 July)

BRAZIL   6135  R. Aparecida, 0935, Canned anmnt by M w/ments of nacional 
and ending w/ID.  Tlk by live M.  //9630.  No longer off freq on 
6134.9.  Fair.  (Valko 30 July)

UNID.   5925.9  UNID., 0938-1000+, Soft mx, W anncr in lang at 0942.  Into 
rel.-sounding mx.  More mx later, but horrible 5920 slop QRM too much when 
they were playing mx which was most of the time.  W back at 1000.  Too weak 
though.  Definitely not // to any of the mega-powered bdcsters in the low 
end of 49 meters.  Hrd on the HQ-129X too.  (Valko 30 July)

That's all for the moment.            73             Dave
