[HCDX] Loggings This Week
MADAGASCAR?? 5011.5V Studio M anncr in Swahili-sounding lang. taking phone callers at 2328. Did hear several ments of Africa. Anncr answered the phone "Hello, hello...". Also phone tones, ringing, and busy signal SFXs. Finally into Hi-life Afro mx at 2341. 2344 tlk by studio M anncr w/ment of "program", more Hi-life mx 2346. Went over ToH w/mx. 0002 Dance song sampling Abbas "Gimme Gimme Gimme". 0004 M anncr returned. Faded by 0055, but was able to recognize a live version of "You've Got a Friend" at 0059. Still going at 0158 when the MD ran out. Drifting down continuously. Madagascar on all night?? Have they been off freq lately?? Haven't hrd any sign of it since. (Valko 23-24 Sept.)
28-29 SEPTEMBER 2007: Was hoping that LA reception would be improved with the currently disturbed Geomagnetic Field, so I decided to try an evening micro-DXpedition. Unfortunately LA conditions were just normal.

BRAZIL 4894.89 R. Novo Tempo (pres.) 2300 Fanfare for "Voz do Brasil" pgm, then said pgm hosted by M and W w/occas. breaks w/canned anmnt and pgm IDs. R. Bras. jingle at 2324. After Voz do Brazil ID at 2358, hrd complete canned ID by M giving only one freq. but the key word sounded like only one syllable. Peaked around 2320. CODAR QRM of course. (Valko 28 Sept.)
BRAZIL 9685.31 R. Gazeta (pres.) Definite canned excited PT tlk by M at 2322, then immediately into ZY Pops. Weak. Really drifted up since the last time hrd. (Valko 28 Sept.)
BRAZIL 3365.09 R. Cultura Araraquara (pres.) Definite here w/PT tlk by M at 2327. PT ballad noted at 2335. Didn't stick around for ID. (Valko 28 Sept.)
BRAZIL 6104.96 R. Filadelfia (pres.) Usual long-winded impassioned PT preaching by M. Very nice signal w/6100 slop. Hrd the next morning around 0945 as well w/more preaching. (Valko 28 and 29 Sept.)
BRAZIL 5969.93 R. Itatiaia (pres.) Nice strength but really low modulation. M tlk in PT at 2342. Is a regular, but nearly imposs. due to low mod. (Valko 28 Sept.)
UNID. (BRAZIL??) 4926 Hrd here again at 2353. Definite M anncr. Wasn't strong enough to verify it was in the PT lang. until 0010. Seemed best around that time as it dropped off towards 0030. Could it be Taubate?? (Valko 29 Sept.)
Other LAs hrd this evening on 5580.3, 5470.75, 5460.38, 4650.3, 4409.81, and 3380.07 (which I presume is a harmonic; lively LA mx at 0013+).
INDIA 5040 AIR Jeypore Tone at 0023, tone off, then IS at 0024. 4860 IS also. 0026 Vande Mataram, then M anncr. The best strength of all the Indians, but extremely low modulation. (Valko 29 Sept.)
HONDURAS 3339.96 R. Misiones Internacional 0918-0925 Lively SP rel. Pop-like mx, 0922 canned full ID anmnt by M, followed by another simple "Radio M.I." ID, then what sounded like live evangelizing by M over mx. Fairly strong but low modulation lvl. (Valko 29 Sept.)
