Report from: Mark Connelly - WA1ION
====================================================================

====================================================================
e-mail = MarkWA1ION@xxxxxxx
DATES: 1996 (UTC/GMT) TIMES: UTC/GMT
Only a very brief DX session this weekend with emphasis on stations
not written down 2 weeks ago during a better opening. This time, the
skip was quite short and domestic interference correspondingly worse.
Some listening around local dawn (which I seldom do usually) revealed
a pipeline to Cuba & Florida at the time: not all that interesting
in itself, but possibly an indicator that Central American rarities
could be heard just before dawn along the greyline under more auroral
conditions this time of year, especially if "big wire" (a Beverage)
was available.
* TRANS-ATLANTIC DX *
837 CANARY ISLANDS // SPAIN, COPE synchros, JUN 30 - SS vocal music;
fair w/ het from Azores which was still on 836. [Connelly*Y-MA]
891 ALGERIA, Algiers, JUN 30 0258 - female AA vocal; fair through
slop. [Connelly*Y-MA]
999 SPAIN, Madrid, JUN 30 0341 - SS teletalk to good peak.
[Connelly*Y-MA]
1044 SPAIN, SER, San Sebastian, JUN 30 0328 - fast SS news & teletalk;
very good, strongest TA at the time. [Connelly*Y-MA]
1107 SPAIN, RNE5 synchros JUN 30 0327 - SS teletalk; fair to good.
[Connelly*Y-MA]
1251 LIBYA, Tripoli, JUN 30 0258 - man & woman in AA to fair peaks
through WUOK-1240 slop w/ WARE/WKBR-1250 nulled / notched. [Connelly*Y-MA]
* PAN-AMERICAN DX *
535 GRENADA, St. George's, JUN 30 0218 - calypso / soca music w/
female vocal; poor to fair. [Connelly*Y-MA]
540 MEXICO, XEWA, Monterrey, JUN 30 0926 - Mexican folk-style
music o/u FL domestic. This is the easiest Mexican here on the
East Coast. [Connelly*Y-MA]
570 CUBA, CMDC, Pilon, JUN 30 0904 - Reloj news program in like a
local w/ item about Guantanamo. [Connelly*Y-MA]
590 CUBA, R. Rebelde, CMHI, Santa Clara, JUN 30 0906 - // 600 w/
romantic SS male / female duet; good, o/u WBNW. [Connelly*Y-MA]
600 CUBA, R. Rebelde, CMKV, Urbano Noris, JUN 30 0906 - // 590 w/
romantic SS male / female duet; huge signal here at local dawn.
[Connelly*Y-MA]
640 CUBA, JUN 30 0948 - Reloj program running at this time instead
of usual R. Progreso offerings. Good signal o/ possible KFI about
40 minutes after local sunrise. [Connelly*Y-MA]
660 COLOMBIA (t), possibly HJJM, Cali, JUN 30 0914 - flashy high-
spirited Colombian accordion music, ID that sounded somewhat like
R. Autentica; in messy mix w/ WFAN and a Cuban. [Connelly*Y-MA]
670 CUBA, R. Rebelde, CMQ, Arroyo Arenas, JUN 30 0917 - // 710 w/
female SS vocal; excellent, way o/ a tantalizing SS teletalker that -
at this late time - could have been Costa Rica, Guatemala, or Honduras.
[Connelly*Y-MA]
690 ANGUILLA, Caribbean Beacon, St. John's, JUN 30 0020 - US EE preacher;
loud, way o/ CBF, others. [Connelly*Y-MA]
710 CUBA, R. Rebelde synchros, La Julia et al., JUN 30 0917 - // 670
w/ female SS vocal; excellent / dominant, crushing WOR. [Connelly*Y-MA]
760 COLOMBIA, RCN, HJAJ, Barranquilla, JUN 30 0228 - SS sportstalk
by man & woman, // 770; dominant o/ growl. [Connelly*Y-MA]
760 CUBA, R. Reloj, Las Mercedes / Guanabacoa, JUN 30 0923 - Reloj
SS news & time show; good, o/ others. [Connelly*Y-MA]
770 COLOMBIA, RCN, HJJX, Bogota, JUN 30 0228 - o/u WABC w/ SS
sportstalk // HJAJ-760. [Connelly*Y-MA]
800 NETHERLANDS ANTILLES, PJB, Bonaire, JUN 30 0238 - great Celtic-
folk style female religious vocal, then Australian-accented preacher;
excellent, rolling o/ CHRC/CJAD. [Connelly*Y-MA]
830 ST. KITTS & NEVIS, TBN, Basseterre, JUN 30 0233 - // 7510 w/
sermon in US EE about the meaning of the Cross. Excellent on
sloper, in muddy mix w/ CFJR/WCRN on loop regardless of loophead
orientation. The sloper kills any loop used ... even Kiwa and
RSM-105 ... on the swath of bearings from low Africa to the
eastern Caribbean (100 to 170 degrees). [Connelly*Y-MA]
860 BRAZIL, ZYJ459, R. CBN, Rio de Janeiro, JUN 30 0250 - noted
in passing w/ man in PP mixed w/ two SS stations. This is probably
the easiest late evening Brazilian for eastern US DXers.
[Connelly*Y-MA]
880 VENEZUELA, YVYM, Puerto Ordaz, JUN 30 0253 - continued monitoring
of this channel still finds this and WCBS ruling the roost w/ no
evidence of Montserrat. "Mundial" ID, fast Latin American dance
music heard at 0253; about even w/ WCBS in strength on sloper.
[Connelly*Y-MA]
940 CUBA, R. Reloj, Holguin / Colon, JUN 30 0931 - Reloj SS news w/
on-the-minute timechecks, "RR" beeps; good o/ apparent XEQ w/ CBM
phased. [Connelly*Y-MA]
1100 BRAZIL, ZYK694, R. Globo, Sao Paulo, JUN 30 0339 - most likely
this w/ bits of PP talk in and out of a Latin American pile-up on
this frequency. At times, there was a strong low-pitched growl.
WWWE easily nulled with phasing unit. [Connelly*Y-MA]
Miscellaneous
WEIRD HETS NOTED: 641.15, 989.0, 1140.95. Noted during Cuban
opening, so that's a clue. I think the 1141a thing is the
jammer against WQBA Miami (although I'm not sure that this is
still being used). [Connelly*Y-MA]
