[HCDX] Logs for Al Muick
QTH: Kabul, Afghanistan
RX: WinRadio G303e
ANT: 200m Longwire/Randomwire
ACC: Palstar MW-550P Mediumwave Preselector
1557 TAIWAN, Family Radio, Kouhu, heard at 1430 on 22 Dec. w/EG pgm "Open
Forum" w/the older fellow, who was getting a real earful from some of the
listeners that called in. Co-channel Iran was off for some reason (probably
tx issues as a dead carrier came on now and again) and everything underneath
could be heard. WYFR had some severe fades that lasted minutes but always
came back up with fair sigs, along with some of the regional Chinese
stations that are normally blocked. Air distance between Kabul and Taipei
is 3171 miles. Nice catch for me, even at 300kW. This furthers my
disbelief in the 1500kW rumor of Qatar on 954.
5860 KUWAIT, R.Farda relay, heard at 1355 (actually "seen" before heard)
on 22 Dec. w/pop FS music and big UGLY carrier with 20kHz + occupied
bandwidth. This was splattered far and wide, making the spectral display
resemble a public toilet. They ought to fire the engineer responsible for
this (sorry, professional pride getting in the way here). Thankfully, they
left the air at 1358, just a couple of minutes before their scheduled s/off
@ 1400.
Best 73 de Al Muick
"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine whether
Americans are to be freemen or slaves; whether they are to have any
property they can call their own - The fate of unborn millions will
now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army. Our
cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave
resistance, or the most abject submission. We have, therefore, to
resolve to conquer or die."
- General orders, 2 July 1776, in J. C. Fitzpatrick (ed.) Writings of
George Washington vol. 5 (1932) p. 2
