INDIVIDUAL LOGGINGS
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
From: David Sharp, Lutz, FL. Using NRD-535D, Superadios 2 and 3, Grundig and
Sangean portables, et al. DSP 59+ signal processor, ANC4 (doubles as a
phasing unit), noise reduced longwire and sloping dipole antennas, along
with a Cushcraft rotatable dipole.
648 UNID, 2320+ Strong carrier, would like to think Gambia but that's a
reach. No audio getting through, but this freq is worth watching.
(Sharp)
765 SENEGAL, Suspect ORTS 2300+, with nx by man in French, hilife mx
bridges, weak. Dominating frequency. (Sharp)
774 SPAIN, RNE-1 (Valencia?), 0155 w/jazz or similar, news TOH. Several
sites listed here, this being the strongest pre WRTH. (Sharp)
1098 SLOVAKIA? Nitra presumed at 2346 w/EZL vocals. No ID. (Sharp)
1107 EGYPT, Egyptian RTV- Batrah, 0006 with Arabic nx by man. Many local
references and best LSB to escape 1110 slop. (Sharp)
1125 LIBYA, LJB- El Beida, 2354, presumed with continuous Arabic vocals,
good on peaks. (Sharp)
1349 MAURITANIA, ORTM, 0100* with distinct Nat'l Anthem. Readable in AM
mode, but obviously much better in LSB. Believe this is only the
second time I've heard this one (and both times this winter/spring DX
season). (Sharp)
1566 TUNISIA, RTVT, 2330, fading-in nicely with Arabic mx, easily //'ed to
7475 SW. (Sharp)
1566 AZORES, CSB81- Vila do Porto, 0039, fair with PT ballads, after
Tunisia vacated freq. Best in LSB. (Sharp)
