["Steve -O" <vinyltocdr@xxxxxxx>]

Egypt:  Radio Cairo in English at 22:14.  Nice audio for once with S-40 pounding signal.  12-14-07 (Steve Price, Johnstown, PA, National NC-173, R-5000, 400 foot inverted L and 200 foot buried ground).

Egypt:  Radio Cairo in Arabic at 22:15.  Nice audio with AA ID, chimes and IS with pounding S-40 signal.  12-14-07 (Steve Price, Johnstown, PA, National NC-173, R-5000, 400 foot inverted L and 200 foot buried ground)

Western Sahara:  RASD 22:20 presumed.  AA chanting and mx.  Weak with S-5 signal but in the clear.  12-14-07 (Steve Price, Johnstown, PA, National NC-173, R-5000, 400 foot inverted L and 200 foot buried ground)

USA/more:  WWV 5000.  22:25 Mixing with another time station.  Other time station's pip or more like a beep was a split of a second after the WWV pip.  Did not hear any "YVTO" voice ID (do they still ID ?) or a female WWVH voice ID, perhaps the voice ID's were buried somewhere under WWV, but I did not hear any.  12-14-07  (Steve Price, Johnstown, PA, National NC-173, R-5000, 400 foot inverted L and 200 foot buried ground)

Mess:  4915 at 22:10.  English religious station talking of the Christmas season mixing with perhaps Brazil or Ghana.  No idea, however everybody was peaking around S-7 and audio equally mixing with each other making any chance of an ID very difficult.  This will take more time.  As I was hoping for the ID of the Relig station at 2300, conditions fell off considerably by then.  12-14-07  (Steve Price, Johnstown, PA, National NC-173, R-5000, 400 foot inverted L and 200 foot buried ground)

Nigeria:  4770 Kaduna (presumed)  22:30 Music and female announcer in English.  Did not stay with it due to possible ELWA on 4760.  12-14-07 (Steve Price, Johnstown, PA, National NC-173, R-5000, 400 foot inverted L and 200 foot buried ground)

Liberia:  4760 ELWA (presumed) 22:32.  Religious music with Silent Night male and female duet.  Continuous program of easy listening religious music.  Tried for ID but down in the noise by 22:50.

49 and 60 meters had a very nice "feel" from the time I started around 22:00 until things kinda died off around 22:50 or so.  Received an email today Nasa Science News about perhaps the start of the new solar cycle.
