DXing with his trusty Sanyo MCD-S830 barefoot in Pierrefonds, Montreal's West Island (Pierrefonds-Roxboro), Quebec, Canada


750 VENEZUELA,   YVKS, Radio Caracas Radio, Caracas, Distrito Federal DEC 20 0232 - talking about a baseball player who knew the best tips on how to cook a ham sandwich. Odd comment regarding a besball game, nevertheless. "Este jugador de Los Leones sabe cual es la mejor manera de cocinar el jamón"... Funny enough !!! Not only this was funny, but the reception itself was truly astonishing. Unlike Toronto's conditions, here YVKS-750 is usually stronger than YVNM-780, but not to that extent. YVNM was pretty fair, but YVKS was damnly excellent !!! SINPO 54434 !!!!! Yes 5 out of 5 for several minutes with CMHG and WSB barely noticeables way down the mud, under this 100 kW Caraqueño !!! (Chiochiu-QC) 
760 COLOMBIA,   HJAJ, RCN Cadena Basíca, Barranquilla, departemiento del Atlantico DEC 20 0238 - Fair with a fast-peace announcer regarding an undergoing HJ fútbol game. SINPO 33333 with WJR nulled as much as possible. Slightly OVER that nulled pest !!! Would be nice if I could get another HJ on a regular basis. HJ signals are weaker than YVs at my QTH. Not a bad thing, since YV mx is more eclectic. You start from gaitas in the estado de Zulia with their salsa-oriented harmonic jams and going straight through the very relaxing llanera styles (golpe, joropo, etc.). While HJ music is seldom melancolic, it does, but not THAT often. When you listen to it, you see a barbecue in your face instead of watching a non-pictures-oriented movie with the actions coming rhough the musical notes. Well... (Chiochiu-QC)
780 VENEZUELA,   YVNM, Radio Coro, Coro, Falcón DEC 20 0244 - strong w/ Xmas oriented tropical music. SINPO 33332. Not that bad overall, though ! (Chiochiu-QC) +DEC 20 0258 - Fading up after a deep fade to a brief, but nice level (S = 3/5 or to be even more precise 13/20 -> 65% as far as its signal strenght was) with a traditional deeply melancholical cumbia tropical groove (not tecnocumbia / NOT tecnocumbia). After about 1 minute, faded down in the mud along with a barely noticeable WBBM from which I tried to escape. Thanksfully, not a peep from the happily missed WABC-770 hash, just some slight WABC and CJAD sideband SPLATTER !!! (Chiochiu-QC)

This was the best South American evening in over a week !

Hope an Aurora Borealis will soon hit our lovely ionosphere so that i can get Radio Tropicana on 540 (HCFA2, Guayaquil) instead of the damned Islip, New York USA radio pest.

May the good DX be with all of you !
Happy Holidays to those attending the most hedonistic part of the year !
