[HCDX]: Re: logs 16-23 OCT 1999

["Neil Kazaross" <neilkaz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Re : your 648 AA log.. we didnt seem to log things that far east very well
on the low end due to AU effects. I believe you may have Libya. If I recall
correctly, the Saudi should be // 1521.

Also try to ID that thing on the low side of 1530 and you may add a nice
Uruguayan to your log.

Re: St. Helena Jean has 1548 QSl'd from a few years prior. We tried like
hell to here them as cx were VERY AU. The only QRM on the channel was a weak
sig from a jammer just below 1548. The S meter registered about 2 S units
less signal on 1548 than it did from 500w Ascencion on 1485 at the time. As
Angola 1502 was in well.. I must think that St.Helena was using 100w at the
time. WRTH lists them as 1/0.1 and the way cx were I honestly expected to be
able to at least get a positive // when distinctive mx was played even if
they had 100w since the channel was so free of usual Brit/VOA QRM.
