[HCDX] Radio Republic.
The best reception at 2-3 UTC on February 21 on 6100 kHz. It sounds very much an extension of Radio Marti. The rethoric is similar and even the announcers appear cookie- cutter sort Radio Marti clones. They announced a Florida address to report the station. Lowe Europa; LW about 25 meters with MFJ tuner. Fabio Mota in Oklahoma.

Folks, here's the complete record of loggings during my recent stay on the Queen
Charlotte Islands in northern B.C. Errors are purely my own, and attributable
to lack of sleep, dxing for 7 to 10 hours daily. 2 receivers, the AOR 7030+ and
the NRD 535D. 3 Beverage antennae (2 N/S, and 1 E/W), and a Misek phasing unit
were used. Enjoy!
CANADA 680, 0529-, CHFA Edmonton Feb 10 First logging during my stay at our
Masset cottage, and the first time I'm using Steve Ratzlaff's phaser. French
vocals easily over KNBR. KBRW is one of my goals on this visit! Fingers
crossed. Rechecked at 14:55. Station was playing a Spanish song, followed by a
Carly Simon tune, but with some deep fades. Hoping for an ID at the TOH. A
mish mash near the TOH. The French station in Edmonton faded up. Another
station said 'a long time ago', and another with music in the background. Hmmm.
KOMW ID at 15:04 from Omak, WA into an instrumental piece followed by CHFA
fading up strongly. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
USA 505.20, 0533-, WD2XSH/20 Feb 10 Good reception from this experimental
station with code. Well heard also in Victoria. Located in Oregon as I recall.
(Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
ALASKA 1610, 0524-, WPT1714 Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel, Portage Feb 11 Fair
reception of loop for winter operation of the tunnel. Successfully able to hear
this one only when phasing my N/S Beverage with a slightly shorter wire on the
ground or almost, beneath the same wire but extending another 30 or 40 feet to
the high tide line. No luck so far for 680 Barrow, though!. (Salmaniw, Masset,
BC)
ALASKA 529, 0543-, Nome (Fort Davis) ? Feb 11 A question for Steve Ratzlaff. At
the moment, I'm hearing SQM in CW cochannel a voice loop that the 'Transcribed
aviation weather broadcast is suspended'. Is this SQM which continues with it's
own SQM CW id, or is it Nome with the TWEB, cochannel to SQM? Only fair
tonight. Seems north isn't all that great tonight. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
ALASKA 394, 0549-, KAK 20 (RWO) Kodiak (Woody Island) Feb 11 Good reception with
ATIS special reports for numerous Kenai Peninsula airports including King Salmon
and Kodiak. Again CW in background. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
ALASKA 358, 0558-, KAW 27 (SIT) Sitka Feb 11 TWEB voice loop at good levels at
times. Broadcast suspended until 15:00 Zulu, 06:00 local time. Call
1-800-WX-BRIEF for pilot weather briefing and other services. (Salmaniw, Masset,
BC)
ALASKA 379, 1355-, WSX 70 (IWW) Kenai (Wildwood) Feb 11 Good reception with
Kenai transcribed weather broadcast. Not heard late last night. (Salmaniw,
Masset, BC)
ALASKA 251, 1406-, KBB 54 (OSE) Bethel (Oscarville) Feb 11 Fair reception with
Bethel transcribed weather forecast. Loud CW overtop, but improving after a few
minutes. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
ALASKA 277, 1415-, KCH 20 (ACE) Homer (Kachemak) Feb 11 Just barely audible with
transcribed weather forecast. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
ALASKA 338, 1418-, KBX 44 (CMQ) Anchorage (Campbell Lake) Feb 11 Poor to fair
reception with transcribed weather report. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
ALASKA 347, 1420-, KGD 82 (DJN) Big Delta (Delta Junction) Feb 11 Fair reception
with Fairbanks area transcribed weather forecast. Heard again at 06:42 12Feb07
with good reception with numerous airport observations. i.e Galena (temp -8),.
(Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
ALASKA 355, 1423-, KCK 35 (AK) King Salmon Feb 11 Good reception with
transcribed aviation weather.1400 observations. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
ALASKA 371, 1429-, PDN Port Heiden Feb 11 Poor reception with transcribed
aviation weather. Much better when used with phaser. ID'd as Kenai transcribed
aviation weather, including Kodiak Is, Homer, Kenai, etc. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
ALASKA 385, 1439-, KKW 92 (OCC) Yakutat (Ocean Cape) Feb 11 Fair reception with
tape loop re transcribed weather forecast suspended until 06:00 local. Faded
completely for about 30 seconds before fading back up. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
ALASKA 411, 1441-, KAI 82 (ILI) Iliamna Feb 11 Poor reception with transcribed
aviation weather. Remarkably better with phaser, however, becoming perfectly
readable (noise completely obliterated)! Aviation weather at 14:00 including
Iliamna special weather. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
ALASKA 529, 1448-, FDV and SQM Feb 11 Interesting indeed! I can hear two
stations co-channel. The dominating station presumably is SQM (KQA 59) from
Sumner Strait with loop stating that the Transcribed weather broadcast is
suspended until 15:00 Zulu. Under this is another voice with aviation weather,
presumed the more distant FDV (KBN 58) in Nome (Fort Davis). (Salmaniw, Masset,
BC)
JAPAN 1449, 1531-, JOQM Abashiri, Hokkaido Feb 11 Very good reception of this
HBC station. Not heard yesterday. Stronger than //1287. Not bad for 5 kw.
(Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
CHINA 1377, 1541-, Zhengzhou Feb 11 Very good reception of CNR1 programming //
to 5030 in absence of NHK2, with Chinese EZL music. Then into a presumed ad,
which sounded very strident, harking back to the old days. (Salmaniw, Masset,
BC)
JAPAN 1575, 1558-, AFN Feb 11 Keeping an eye on this frequency this morning and
far different from yesterday. AFN Japan is reasonably well heard under VOA
Thailand. With music programming ('You can ring my be-e-e-ll, ring by bell',
etc). Into English news at 16:00 but VOA faded up. As for the station heard
yesterday, very briefly at 15:57, the bubble jamming around 1574.4 became quite
evident but only for a few moments. Conditions must be very variable today.
Overall not as good as yesterday's. AFN back into modern techno music at 16:03.
Signal would be quite decent if not for VOA. Interesting that they became
dominant for a time at 16:04, well over VOA. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
KOREA 1341, 1608-, KBS Feb 11 An interesting frequency with at least 2 stations
audible, neither is the expected NHK1 relay. The dominant is, I suspect, Kimpo
in Korean while the second is just too weak to be sure. Possibly English.
(Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
JAPAN 1332, 1613-, JOSF Nagoya Feb 11 An interesting frequency with at least 3
cochannel audios. For a time JOSF completely dominated with a 8 to 9/10 signal,
then faded down revealing another station with a vocal, possibly HLAO in
Chungju. Another Chinese station briefly also heard. What peaked my interest
was Russian sounding music, but this disappeared quickly. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
ALASKA 890, 0358-, KBBI Homer Feb 12 Public service announcements. Keys found,
etc. Very good with a fade-up over CJDC Dawson Creek, BC (C&W music there).
Into weather for the Kenai Peninsula. Somewhat difficult to follow as the dj has
quite a soft voice making it difficult to punch through the fades. Very good at
05:00 with jazzy EZL music, but no ID at the TOH. Rechecking at 05:20 yields an
unusual flutter about once per second. Never heard anything quite like it.
(Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
ALASKA 248, 0627-, KGA 25 (GLA) Gulkana Feb 12 My 13th TWEB from Alaska so far
with aviation weather for various airports including Gulkana, Hayes River,
Anchorage and Homer. Good reception.. Best using LSB. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
ALASKA 332, 0636-, KAJ 28 (MND) Juneau (Mendenhall) Feb 12 Just barely audible
tape loop with the usual 'Transcribed aviation weather broadcast is suspended'.
14th Alaskan TWEB heard so far. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
ALASKA 338, 0638-, KBX 44 (CMQ) Anchorage (Campbell Lake) Feb 12 Good reception
with automated weather for numerous airports such as Portage Glacier
(temperature -7), Stewart, Homer, etc. 15th TWEB Alaskan. (Salmaniw, Masset,
BC)
ALASKA 355, 0644-, KCK 35 (AK) King Salmon Feb 12 Good reception except for the
usual beeps and squels with aviation weather reports including King Salmon.
Bristol Bay area forecast reported. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
ALASKA 356, 0648-, KEJ 28 (HHM) Kotzebue (Hotham) Feb 12 A difficult target with
AK just 1 kHz below. Best heard in AM mode. Tape loop of 'Transcribed aviation
broadcast is suspended until 1500 zulu, 0600 local). My 16th TWEB from Alaska.
(Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
RUSSIA 180, 0659-, Radio Rossii, Petropavlovsk Feb 12 Early fade-in with
time-pips and Radio Rossii ID into Russian news. Fair reception. //153 barely
audible. 189 has a signal, but too weak to tell whether in // or not. 234
Magadan is poor. Big fat beacon on 279, but weakly audible using USB.
(Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
UNITED KINGDOM 1215, 0712-, Virgin Radio Feb 12 Lot's of presumed TA hets
tonight and snippets of audio as well. Virgin Radio had quite good audio for a
few seconds before fading back into the mud. A mixture of TAs and TPs, I
suppose as 1287 definitely sounds Japanese at 07:14 presumably JOHR. (Salmaniw,
Masset, BC)
CHINA 5050, 1604-, Voice of the Strait Feb 12 Presumed logging. I monitored
this on and off for an hour. Not a single announcement just non-stop western
music. There is a strong het from 5049.9, from ARDS which would yield decent
audio if the Chinese station were not present. No other station fits the bill
here. Very strong signal. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
CHINA 981, 1609-, CNR1 Feb 12 Strong reception with multiple site feeds as
there's a slight delay between feeds. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
?KOREA 1467, 1639-, HLKN Mokpo Feb 12 Help is needed with who's on here. Rated
a 9/10 initially but faded down. I thought from the strength that it was a JJ
station, but only low powered NHK2 stations listed, and they're off the air by
this time, so it's either a Chinese or KBS. I'm suspecting the latter. Right,
I've answered my own question. // to 738. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
CHINA 1377, 1655-, CNR1 Zhengzhou Feb 12 Very strong signal // to 5030 with ads
in Chinese. Amazing how strong they can be!. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
JAPAN 1368, 1700-, JOTS Wakkanai, Hokkaido Feb 12 A decent 7/10 signal with
light chatting. No time pips or ID at 17:00, though. // to 1287. (Salmaniw,
Masset, BC)
CANADA 570, 0214-, CFWH Whitehorse Feb 13 CBC Radio One's major news program,
'The World at Six' at good level. Some deep fades. By far the best on my N/S
Beverage. Not at all audible on the E/W Beverage (CKWL Williams Lake totally
dominates here). Watson Lake and southern/central/high north Yukon weather at
02:28. Lows down to -32 Brrrr! Into 'As it Happens' program. Very good
reception at this point. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
USA 910, 0301-, The new KTRO 910 Feb 13 Not sure who this is, often very good
reception, and then fading down with IDs for Talk Radio Oregon. Finally at
03:01, gave an ID as 'the New KTRO 910'. Not listed in my NRC AM Radio Log.
They also ID more frequently as 93.1 Talk Radio Oregon. The only OR station
listed in KURY Brookings, but only 37 watts. This station mentions Portland, so
presumed another station. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
GREAT BRITAIN 1215, 0336-, Virgin Radio Feb 13 Great evening so far with most
channels producing a carrier, many at 4 or 5/10 scale. Deep fades as is common
for TA reception. Apart from Virgin Radio (an 8 at times), other audios thus
far include 531, 684, 711, 873, 1071, 1089 and 1125. Virgin is the strongest so
far. Haven't heard this strength since the fall!. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
RUSSIA 1089, 0321-, Radio Rossii Feb 13 Initially I thought it was a French
speaking station, but further monitoring confirms a Russian speaker. Really
difficult channel with adjacent splatter +++. I have a new found respect for my
second receiver here in Masset...my old JRC NRD 535D which seems up to the task
for difficult MW reception. Appears every bit as sensitive as the 7030+ as well
as dealing with the adjacent splatter. Never very strong, but occasionally
fading up to about a 7/10 strength. Second strongest on the band tonight for
Euros. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
?DENMARK 1062, 0420-, Danish Radio P3 Feb 13 A possible here. Another strong
performer with non-stop modern western music. Surprisingly strong at times
despite adjacent splatter. Not sure who else this could be besides listed
Denmark. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
GERMANY 1269, 0428-, Deutschlandfunk, Neumunster Feb 13 A decent 7 to 7.5 signal
with German variety programming pretty much in the clear. Nice piano piece just
before 04:29. Time pips at 04:29:50 and talk in German. Presumably news
program. Faded up to almost an 8!. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
SWEDEN 1179, 0455-, Swedish Radio Feb 13 Really strong reception at 04:55 in
obvious Swedish. Quite the night, with audio after audio for the TAs. I'm very
pleased!. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
ALASKA 630, 0614-, KIAM Nenana? Feb 13 A bit of a dilemma here. Tuned in to
here weather for central Alaska. No ID heard, but I realize that this was not
KJNO, which is not that far from me in Masset. The quality was much more folksy
and amateurish. Lots of temperatures in the minus 10s and 20s....definitely not
coastal Juneau. They were cochannel, presumably Juneau and gradually faded down
to oblivion. I'd be very pleased had I heard a legal ID, though!. (Salmaniw,
Masset, BC)
ALASKA 640, 0602-, KYUK Bethel Feb 13 Nice ID for the station in passing, and
then into NPR programming. Good reception. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
ALASKA 670, 0731-, KDLG Dillingham Feb 13 Excellent reception with Bristol Bay
weather forecast. KBOI is almost completely eliminated thanks to the phaser.
Amazing how long the Alaska weather forecasts tend to be! Life and death, I
suppose!. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
RUSSIA 720, 0733-, Mayak, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk Feb 13 Presumably this station with
Russian language call-in show. Very good at times, but at least once completely
faded out to be replaced by very strong KDWN Las Vegas, but then returned again
at excellent strength again by 07:51. I was wrong! This is actually coming
from Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk with local Russian programming. That explains call-in
from Moscow, and the local ads, including for tomatoes! Mayak ID at 07:58.
Mayak jingles at 07:00. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
USA 770, 0910-, 'Country 101' Feb 13 Unid station with an ID as 'Country 101' or
'Country 101.com'. Any ideas would be appreciated re legal ID. (Salmaniw,
Masset, BC)
NORTH KOREA 656.94, 1654-, KCBS Pyongyang Feb 13 Good reception with usual
melodic vocal by a female. Much stronger than //3250 and 3320. Faded down
rather abruptly at 16:56, though. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
VIETNAM 675, 1658-, Voice of Vietnam 1, My Van Feb 13 Presumed Voice of Vietnam
1 program with Vietnamese music up to 16:59 and then a brief announcement and
off. No anthem. Sure enough, scheduled s/off is 17:00. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
USA 560, 0225-, KSFO, San Francisco Feb 14 An example of the phenomenal power of
the phaser. Without it, the frequency is owned by CHTK, Prince Rupert...just
across the water on the mainland. With it engaged, CHTK is gone, replaced by
KSFO and a more powerful cochannel with the Cashmir Lady Bulldogs (?) vs Olmak
Pioneer basketball game. During the half time show, mentioned KPQ or KBQ. Ahhh,
it's KPQ Wenatchee, WA. Good to very good at times. No signs, though, of KVOK,
Kodiak. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
ALASKA 920, 1540-, KSRM, Soldotna Feb 14 A tough catch due to the proximity of
KTKN 930 in Ketchikan. They also don't ID very often and are prone to deep
fades. When they do fade-in, the reception can be excellent. At the moment
there are lots of mentions of Kenai, and Homer. Now just for a legal ID! Best
on my W Beverage. Plenty of cochannels as well which also fade up and down
especially an oldies station. The Oldies station faded up saying that they were
the 'Home of Nat King Cole'. Any ideas who that would be? I wonder about KSHO
Lebanon, OR? ID for latter heard, and later still for KXLY. Seems the best time
for hearing Alaskans is around middle of the night to sunrise here. (Salmaniw,
Masset, BC)
ALASKA 870, 1609-, KSKO, McGrath Feb 15 Excellent reception of this elusive
station. KFLD from Pasco, WA owns this frequency for the past couple of hours,
although KSKO does fade in every once in a while. Local news and weather at
this time. Otherwise mostly network NPR programming only. For whatever reason,
I have a heck of a time IDing these guys! Finally some good levels for an
extended period of time. Best using USB to avoid 860 CFPR Prince Rupert. DJ is a
male with a relatively slow monotone delivery. Time check for 7:17 AM and into a
musical interlude. Into business news for Alaska. Sports at 16:23. By 16:26
faded down into the mud and gone. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
JAPAN 1359, 1642-, NHK2 Feb 15 Low power 100w relays. Heard at fair level with
their prolonged sign-off. Nice to see what 100w can do!. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
CANADA 1440, 1649-, CKJR Wetaskiwin, AB Feb 15 IDing as 'The new W 1440'. Not
sure whether the call letters have changed. Local ad from the Chamber of
Commerce. Oldies format. Very good after Sapporo fades out. (Salmaniw, Masset,
BC)
PHILIPPINES 1512, 1702-, DYAB, Cebu City Feb 15 An interesting frequency indeed.
Monitored before the TOH to hear English music and talk, weakly. Rechecked
after TOH and this is a Filipino station. No idea which. Perhaps Patrick
Martin can assist with which station is heard here at this time. OK, got it!
An ID for DYAB at 17:19. Boy am I pleased about this one!!. (Salmaniw, Masset,
BC)
AUSTRALIA 1548, 1705-, 4QD Emerald, Queensland Feb 15 ABC Local Radio with news
and ID as ABC Local Radio. Good reception with some splatter. (Salmaniw,
Masset, BC)
UNID 1584.06, 1709-, Unid Feb 15 Station off frequency with western C & W female
vocal until 17:11and right into another song. Fair to even good levels at
times. Wonder whether this is DWBR Radyo Batay (according to the PAL). Might
just fit. Any ideas, please?. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
?NEW ZEALAND 1593, 1735-, ?Coast Radio, Christchurch Feb 15 Almost non-stop EZL
music. English. Only very brief announcements between some pieces. Oldies
format. I'm suspecting that this may be Coast Radio in Christchurch, NZ. A
good hour after my local sunrise and it's still fading up to fair levels at
times and then down to oblivion. Any help here also much appreciated! I see
that New Zealand is gray lining at the moment. My assumption anyway. Besides
English, they also play the occasional French piece. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
TAIWAN 1557, 1746-, Family Radio Feb 15 Despite what I read in the PAL, they
seem to be here still at this hour with a strong signal with hymns. Not sure
who else this could be. Chinese programming, it seems. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
JAPAN 1287, 1914-, JOHR, Sapporo Feb 15 It's 11:15 am local, and I'm still
hearing plenty of carriers and even some audio. For example HBC Hokkaido Hoso
is coming in at fair levels. Mind you it's 50 kw from Sapporo. Still, something
you never hear in Victoria! Other audio include JOLF 1242 in Tokyo, 972, and of
course 1566 HLAZ. What fun!. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
ALASKA 920, 0531-, KSRM, Soldotna Feb 16 ABC news, followed by local ad for
Soldotna therapeutic massage and chiropractic clinic. ID as AM 920 The One.
Local Kenai weather. Initially good reception, then faded as they ID'd! Back
to Mike Bohanan show. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
USA 780, 0545-, WBBM, Chicago Feb 16 Excellent reception with ID after weather,
and into sports. Dominates when used with phaser. Oldies station dominates
when phase is reversed. Still to be ID'd, but looking for KNOM, Nome, AK.
(Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
ALASKA 920, 0600-, KSRM, Soldotna Feb 16 Finally a nice ID as '920 KSRM
Soldotna/Kenai/Homer', and into news. Good reception, though prone to deep
fades, still. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
JAPAN 1287, 0629-, JOHR, Sapporo Feb 16 While searching for TA stations, came
across audio from HBC, Japan at this early hour. They also happen to be one of
the last audios to disappear in the morning, so obviously one of the first to
appear. 1188 also quite a strong carrier, and I'm suspecting TP rather than TA.
No signs of TA tonight. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
ALASKA 820, 0638-, KCBF Fairbanks Feb 16 Very good reception after trying all
evening (and being spoiled mostly by KGNW, Burien-Seattle). Local Fairbanks ads
for airlines, chiropractic, massage, sports medicine, etc. Post game show for a
Western Washington vs Bellingham basketball game....Ahhh! I did hear this
earlier, but assumed it was the WA station. KGNW is there, but easily phased
out. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
ALASKA 780, 1354-, KNOM, Nome Feb 16 Good reception being able to null KKOH
which would otherwise dominate the frequency with 'Lady in Black'. ID into ABC
news at 14:00 with TC for 05:00. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
ALASKA 770, 1408-, KCHU, Valdez Feb 16 Good reception with NPR 'Morning Edition'
news except for cochannel CHQR from Calgary. Fill music at 14:10 without a
local ID. Darn. //870 McGrath KSKO but latter is delayed slightly. (Salmaniw,
Masset, BC)
USA 1610, 1515-, WA State Highway Advisory Radio Feb 16 Weakly heard. Couldn't
make out call letters or nature of the advisory, just the WA ID. A long way
from WA, so not a bad catch. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
JAPAN 1575, 1524-, AFN Feb 16 Great reception this morning with no sign of VOA
Thailand at all. Public service announcements (proper tire pressures, etc) and
then into music. Not sure whether all 3 listed stations are in parallel. At
15:32 I'm hearing some talk about Japan, with music in the background, which I'm
assuming is one of the other AFN Japan stations. Nope, it's VOA with special
English. Oh, well. Rechecked at 16:00. No ID, but they're booming in with a
S7 to S9 signal with modern American music. Just a short 'Happy Friday', and a
mention of 'Guns and Roses' (not sure of the connotation for the latter).
Occasionally I can hear VOA Thailand beneath, but mostly they have the frequency
entirely to themselves. Into USA Network Sports at 16:20. At 16:22, I'm
hearing PSA for military priority post, but with modern American music
underneath, which isn't VOA. Perhaps the feeds are different for the 3 AFN
stations. Sure wish they'd have local IDs! Incredibly l!
ong lasting! I've been listening to a steady, almost local-like signal for
more than an hour, and they're still very strong at 16:44 (8:44 local) with
mostly non-stop music, with occasional PSA, but nothing that I would call a
definitive ID. At 17:00, heard the following: 'You are listening to the
American Forces Network'. This was repeated a second time but much weaker, so
I'm thinking this is another transmitter. Finally have something I would call a
legal ID! I'm pleased. Sure is blasting in still! What a great dx site!!! At
17:19 still present with perfectly readable signal with a spot for smoking
cessation. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
ALASKA 770, 15:56-, KCHU, Valdez Feb 16 Interesting programming. Earlier they
were in // to 870, but broke off to local programming. After a very lengthy
weather forecast, they went on to describe the lunches at the various schools.
Interesting!. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
ALASKA 870, 1600-, KSKO, McGrath Feb 16 Finally got my full legal ID at 15:59
followed by the weather. I was worried that they would fade out before the ID,
plus the DJ has a fairly monotone voice, but the signal hung in there.
(Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
UNID 1512, 1712-, unid Feb 16 Sure like to know who's here. I'd be able to copy
ok, except for splatter. Occasional English words heard, but the style seems
very Filipino to me. Patrick, have you heard anything here? I see 2 Filipino's
listed in PAL with one signing off at 16:10. Help please! Splatter is from
1520, so I'm trying LSB with notch. Anything's worth a try!. (Salmaniw, Masset,
BC)
KOREA 1566, 1758-, HLAZ Feb 16 Excellent reception of their Russian program
signing-off with Moscow address and mentioning the Korean transmitter on 1566.
Carrier off immediately afterwards at 18:00. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
USA 1450, 2352-, KONP, Port Angeles, WA Feb 16 ID as Newsradio, 1450. Had to
look this one up. Just across the water from Victoria, but a long way from the
Queen Charlottes. Fair reception. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
ICELAND 189, 0552-, Rikisutvarpid Ras Feb 17 Presumed logging with modern music.
Not often heard on the west coast, so maybe the TAs are returning. Poor to fair
reception only. Weak audio isalso audible on 153, with the MW being pretty much
a wipe-out. Well, here's hoping for a good morning!. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
ALASKA 1080, 1430-, KUDO, Anchorage Feb 17 Finally, a full ID for this station
which just happened to fade up nicely. Seems to gradually fade up and down over
the course of a minute. Normally all I've been hearing here is KFXX, Portland
('The Fan'), and occasionally KVNI, Coeur d'Alene, ID. Followed by PSA and back
to network talk radio. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
RUSSIA 576, 14:49-, Radiostantsiya Mayak Feb 17 Surprised to hear Russian here.
Mayak jingles at 15:00 and then signed-off immediately. This matches RV69
Khabarovsk which is listed as signing off at 15:00, although my PAL states this
station to be inactive. Rechecked at 15:05 to see that there's still a strong OC
present. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
KOREA 603, 1515-, HLSA, Namyang Feb 17 Good to excellent reception before fading
down with Korean music. In parallel to 558 which was weaker. (Salmaniw, Masset,
BC)
KOREA 711, 15:33-, HLKA, Sorae Feb 17 Superb reception with possibly a radio
play in Korean. Parallel noted on 1503. There's also another cochannel station
noted with what sounds like an English Christian hymn. Hmmm. Turned out to be a
Chinese speaker. For a time the Chinese station actually rose above HLKA.
(Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
INDIA 4990, 1555-, AIR Itanagar Feb 17 English panel discussion at good level.
Well over cochannel Chinese. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
INDIA 4970, 1558-, AIR Shillong Feb 17 Very good reception with lovely Indian
music through the TOH. Announcement by YL at 16:01 (not in English) and then an
English ad by an OM about convergence of radio and television (apparently a TV
that also picks up radio...something, Model 80). Full ID in English at 16:04,
then into western music. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
KYRGYZSTAN 4050.02, 1606-, Kyrgyz Radio 1 Feb 17 Presumed logging with weak
audio. A bit too weak to positively ID the language. 4010 is also present, but
even weaker. Some of my older references has DW in Russian at this time.
(Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
TAJIKSTAN 4635.05, 1610-, Tajik Radio 1 Feb 17 Good reception with central Asian
vocal. They then went into some Russian by a YL (a little harder to hear the
spoken voice...I did hear her say 'musey' or museum). Then an OM went on in
presumed Tajik. Followed by more music. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
INDIA 4760, 1616-, AIR Port Blair Feb 17 An interesting frequency with two
equally strong stations cochannel. One is an obviously Muslim station (with
melodic central Asian chants), while the other is a male speaking, and I'm
suspecting this could be TWR from Swaziland. The first station has to be either
AIR Port Blair (which seems to be the most commonly reported) or AIR Leh in
Kashmir. I rechecked at 16:53. Most obviously TWR Swaziland with a good strong
signal way over the presumed AIR station(s). I checked again at 16:59 to see
that TWR was gone, and now a single Indian station is strongly heard. Both AIR
stations are listed as on until 17:30 on Saturdays, so I'll have to recheck in a
few minutes. Stumbled upon 5010 which is in // to 4760, so that confirms Port
Blair, at least after 17:00. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
INDIA 4775, 1621-, AIR Imphal Feb 17 Presumed logging with traditional Indian
music. Fair to good reception. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
DJIBOUTI 4780, 1622-, R. dif. TV de Djibouti Feb 17 Happy to hear this one
showing that it is possible to hear Africa in our local mornings. Typical horn
of Africa music at fair level. Slightly marred by CODAR chirp. (Salmaniw,
Masset, BC)
INDIA 4800, 1625-, AIR Hyderabad Feb 17 Good reception with Indian music, but
marred by cochannel Chinese station at equal strength, so a bit of a mess!.
(Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
INDIA 4810, 1626-, AIR Bhopal Feb 17 Fair to reception except for CODAR with
Indian music by male vocalist. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
INDIA 4820, 1631-, AIR Kolkata Feb 17 A nice S7 to S9 signal dominating with
Indian music, but cochannel, presumed Lhasa, Tibet audible underneath.
(Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
INDIA 4840, 1633-, AIR Mumbai Feb 17 Must be the music hour. All of the AIR
stations I've heard this hour have been playing a lot of music! Again,
traditional Indian music at fair level. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
INDIA 4860, 1634-, AIR Delhi A Feb 17 Good reception with talk in presumed Urdu
(FS is listed in DBS). Marred by a carrier on the high side producing a het, so
LSB used. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
INDIA 4895, 1638-, AIR Kurseong Feb 17 I'm going out on a bit of a limb and
assuming that this is an Indian station. Again traditional Indian music at good
level. Doesn't seem to fit RTM and not sure whether they're still on the air.
(Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
INDIA 4910, 1640-, AIR Jaipur Feb 17 Once again traditional Indian music at poor
to fair level. No sign here of Zambia. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
INDIA 4920, 1641-, AIR Chennai Feb 17 Good reception with Indian music,
unfortunately cochannel to equally strong Lhasa with Tibetan (or Chinese) music.
Too bad they each couldn't use their own frequency. There's plenty of space
these days!. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
BOTSWANA 4930, 1643-, VOA Feb 17 Very good reception with African hi-life music.
Interfered with slightly by some CW interference. I was hoping to hear Kenya,
but realize that they're listed as a Monday to Friday operation only. Drats!
Nightline Africa ID at 16:46. Went into their Nightline Africa mailbag. Accent
made it a bit difficult to follow. Several calls from Nigeria. (Salmaniw,
Masset, BC)
INDIA 4940, 1648-, AIR Guwahati Feb 17 Fair to good reception of what sounds
like a radio play, not in English. Does not sound Chinese, so I'm quite certain
it's Guwahati. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
PAPUA NEW GUINEA 4960, 1650-, Catholic Radio Network Feb 17 Just about forgot
about PNG. English religious hymn at fair to good level. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
ZAMBIA 4965, 1706-, The Voice Africa Feb 17 A presumed logging with some
preaching, but mostly under what sounds like an Indian station (?AIR Shimla?).
Both fair at best. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
CHINA 4980, 1707-, Xinjiang PBS Feb 17 Chinese or minority music marred by a ute
on USB, so best on LSB. Fair level. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
INDIA 5010, 1712-, AIR Thiruvananthapuram Feb 17 Very good reception with Indian
music followed by a description of the piece in a local language, then
presumably the same in English. Marred by a choppy ?OTH radar signal at
multiple pulses /second. Also there must be a cochannel station on at 10 Hz
variation, so careful tuning is necessary. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
USA 1020, 0330-, KCKN Roswell, NM Feb 18 Checked this frequency often looking
for KAXX Eagle River, AK. No sign of them. Instead, ID noted for KCKN at good
level. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
ECUADOR 3279.7, 0345-, La Voz del Napo Feb 18 Reasonably good signal except for
a ute smack on the frequency spoiling enjoyable listening. Latin tunes,
sounding quite Cuban to me. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
SOUTH AFRICA 3320, 0348-, SABC, Meyerton Feb 18 Good reception with classical
music. Listed as Radio Sonder Grense. Probably the best I've ever heard them
in the Pacific northwest. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
HONDURAS 3340, 0351-, HRMI, La Voz de Misiones Internacionales Feb 18 Poor to
fair at best with Spanish religious programming. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
SOUTH AFRICA 3345, 0352-, Channel Africa, Meyerton Feb 18 Not as strong as Radio
Sonder Grense, but still a fair signal with EZL music. Didn't wait around for
an ID. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
ALASKA 970, 04:05-, KFBX Fairbanks Feb 18 Finally heard several IDs. A
difficult catch with numerous cochannel stations including CFXE, Edson AB. Into
a music bridge and then at 04:08 into Coast to Coast Live program. Fair
reception. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
RUSSIA 720, 1352-, Voice of Russia,Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk Feb 18 Strong signal with
'Here comes the sun' in Russian! Nice to see them back. This is the Japanese
language service. VOR IS at 13:59, and then faded away with North American
stations dominating again. Checked at 14:24 to notice a station causing a het
from 719.9. I've been hearing them all week. Good audio at 14:27 now. This is
the KCBS in Pyongyang with their usual Korean vocals. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
UNID 1476, 1524-, unid Feb 18 This is an interesting frequency. First, the
Malaysian on1475 provides decent audio, so one must use USB. 1476 itself has a
couple of stations audible. One is off frequency on about 1476.04 and seems
variable. The other is playing some pretty strange oriental music. The closest
I've heard is the Vietnamese regional Son La, but no Vietnamese listed. I'm
thinking that this may be one of the Chinese regionals. The off frequency
perhaps is a Filipino?. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
MALAYSIA 1475, 1531-, Suara Malaysia Feb 18 Decent audio in Tagalog with
sign-off procedures by an undermodulated female. Off at 15:34:24 followed by
presumed NA until 15:35 and then carrier immediately off. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
TAIWAN 738, 1614-, BEL2 Taiwan Area Fishery Brdcstg Stn Feb 18 Dominates this
frequency with Chinese talk and // to weaker 1593 and 1143. Several other
stations cochannel, but this one is strongest. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC)
CHINA 981, 1628-, CNR 1 Feb 18 Interesting sound. Multiple sites with slight
delays between them producing an echo effect. Very good reception. (Salmaniw,
Masset, BC)
UNID 918, 1634-, unid Feb 18 A real mystery. American English but with a weird
echo!!! What on earth is this? Multiple paths? Multiple locations? Good
reception. Continued to improve. Solid S7 reception and in the clear. Story
about George W. Bush. By 16:41 no longer in English. I did hear a www.xxx.com
though, so maybe this is a Chinese station or Korean with an English lesson?
Help please with this one! Yes this was a language lesson. I have the clip from
17:00, so would appreciate assistance on the ID. It's likely Chinese.

** ANTARCTICA [and non]. I don`t check every day, but Feb 20 at 1956, no sign
of LRA36 on 15476. The closest signal was something very weak on 15465,
presumably Portugal scheduled until 2000 at 226 degrees to WAf and SAm (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. Same old story with ERA5 test via SVO, Feb 21 around 1500 on 15630:
frequent carrier breaks making it unlistenable; when on, pretty good signal //
17525 Avlis (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA [and non]. I am again hearing French on 17660, at 1508 UT Feb
21, mixing with and underneath the Afropop music distraxion; something which
was not there before yesterday. It is not // 17630 ANU, nor // 15300 RFI. I
believe it is BSKSA, ex-21600. The signal again fades down greatly before
Afropop goes off at 1531. There is a fast SAH between them of about 15 Hz. An
interesting thing I have noticed more than once. Just before Gabon cuts the
carrier at 1531, for a few seconds the SAH level increases. This must be
because the Gabon output power steps down briefly before going off; that is,
BSKSA momentarily has a relative strength advantage. Presumably BSKSA continues
on 17660 at least until the French bihour ends at 1600, but after 1531 the
carrier is barely detectable. No doubt those further east could confirm this.
VOA, 17895, via Botswana, in English at 1444 Feb 21 had fluttery co-channel QRM
from something. Per EiBi, that must also be BSKSA, which overlaps on 17895 at
14-15, both broadcasting to different parts of Africa. BSKSA frequency
management is the pits:
17895 1200-1500 ARS BSKSA HQ A NAf
17895 1400-1700 USA Voice of America E EAf /BOT
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. REE had an excellent show discussing US-sponsored coups in Iran and
Guatemala in the 1950s, interviewing various authorities in Spanish but with
accents, apparently North Americans. One quite fluent nevertheless slipped and
said ``una programa``. The show was rudely interrupted at 1455 UT Feb 21 on
17595 for the mandatory waste-of-time frequency change announcement. Axually
all they do on 17595 is move the antenna beam southward, which could probably
be accomplished in less than a minute during a real programming break at 1459.
Grrr! Per schedule, this is ``Documentos``, Wed at 1400+ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN [non]. I wrote to SRS, and they kindly sent me a pdf of their new
program schedule as of Feb 14, including SW frequencies still missing from
website; that is now available in the files - programs schedules folder in the
DXLD yg. The frequency schedule converted to UT is:
M-F 0300-0500 7280, 0500-0600 9525; 0400-0600 13720, 1500-1800 9840
Sat 1500-1700 9840
Sun 1500-1600 9840
Apparently no longer a Wednesday 14-15 on 9660. 9840 is Moscow, but where are
the others? Latest EiBi says 13720 and 9525 are UAE; that 9840 switches from
Moscow to UAE at 1700; 7280 switches from Skelton to UAE at 0330, times it
should be interesting to monitor. I wonder if they use Skelton and Moscow
rather than UAE for all transmissions because of transmitter unavailability, or
if it is really thought to be propagationally advantageous to do so? (Glenn
Hauser, Feb 21, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Christians vs Christians! There is a big collision between WEWN and
WYFR now on 7455. The night before I found that WEWN had moved from 7540 to
7455, and posted as such on its schedule, at 23-13, and assumed WYFR must have
moved off 7455 at 07-11, but it did not! Feb 21 at 0711, found both of them
there, along with the RTTY which should have dissuaded both broadcasters from
using 7455 at all. At that moment, WYFR was on top, with Camping in English, at
most favorable skip distance from here; RTTY was next; and below that, WEWN
could be heard in music // weak 11870 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WTJC missing again from 9370, Feb 21 at 1438 check, as well as
various other times, not just on Sunday, as I supposed previously (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Is Marie Lamb OK? I had a report that DXing with Cumbre has been
repeating the old standby pirate show for three weeks. Feb 21 at 1727 UT I
checked WAER webstream for Marie`s jazz show scheduled weekdays 15-18 UT, only
to hear some other woman doing it, Jane McGreasy, who said she was sitting in.
She is not among those pictured on the staff list at
http://www.waer.org/stafpics.html where I went to check the spelling of her
name (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Hello,
Following the ham/swl log that I made with Peter Sprenghel PP5XX in
Itapo? (GG53qw), F?bio Mattos and Anderson Torquato in Garopaba
(GG51qx), cities located in the State of Santa Catarina, south Brazil.
The TEP in 88 MHz was not strong as expected. In 144 MHz we made the
usual listening of Dominica repeaters and contact with Martinica FM5CS.
We have tried several others skeds included with south USA but without
success.
However we enjoyed one Es to Argentina in 88 MHz.
We were under heavy rain in one mountain with great view to Garopaba
city and the south part of Santa Catarina Island, where is located
Florianopolis, the capital of the State. We kept the receiver on 88,1
MHz (Radio Gazeta of Sao Paulo, about 500 km far) when suddenly we heard
one advertising in spanish language for just 10 seconds or nearby. After
some minutes we heard again this station but loud. So we made one
quickly scann and then several others spanish speaking radios were on
the dial of one simple Degen 1103 with telescopic antenna! In one 3rd
period of propagation we stayed in 95,1 MHz listening announcements and
talks related to "La Rioja". Crossing the log data collected with
internet informations we found for this frequency the "Fenix FM" in La
Rioja, northwest Argentina, about 1780 km far from Garopaba, Santa
Catarina, Brazil.
Some days ago (jan,17) Mr. Fran PY2FGJ have monitored in Itapecirica da
Serra (near Sao Paulo city) the Channel 3 TV station from Vi?a del Mar,
Chile. La Rioja is near on the way of this Es path!
The NDBs in LF seemed very familiar of what I?ve heard in the latest
expeditions to Comprida Island with Japy DX and DXCB groups, included
the ASN Ascencion Island, southeast and central Brazil beacons but not
BRR in Bahia (one indicator to central-northeast Brazil). The only
difference was the beacons of the neighbor-state of Rio Grande do Sul.
For this band we used one RGP-3 antenna.
