[HCDX] Loggings from Victoria, BC

Some very nice openings on 60 meters in the early morning hours, if you're awake!  Also when the MUF permits, lots to hear in the evening on the higher bands.  Equinoxial conditions are always best, so spend some quality time listening to the bands!


CANADA 6030, 1623-, CFVP Calgary Mar 2 Fair signal under a Chinese speaker
(?VOA or CNR)  with the Garden show. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC, Canada)

CLANDESTINE (FRANCE TO IRAN) 17525, 1628-, Sedeye Iran Mar 3 Already
beginning s/on announcements at 1628:30, then into vocal revolutionary
sounding anthem, and then mentions of kHz.  Water drop jamming faintly
heard underneath.  Strong signal.  When rechecked at 1653, 15690 via
Moldova is in parallel, but only weak under the same loud jammer.
(Salmaniw, Victoria, BC, Canada)

DOMINICAN REP 6025.65, 0333-0300*, R.Amanecer Intern. Mar 2 Tentative
logging with low level Spanish talk and EZL music.  An exceptionally
difficult target with terrible splatter from Marti and jammers on
6030.  Best audio using USB, however, no AGC, gain at 50%, and PBS at -0.7
kHz on my 7030+.  Sounded like a choral anthem at 0358, but talk by OM
continued past TOH. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC, Canada)

GUAM 11980, 1654-1700*, KSDA GUAM Mar 3 I had thought that RNZI had moved
here, but caught instead the tail end of Wavescan at this time.  Very
strong.  AWR fanfare at 1658, with Nicossia address, then in English, and
invitation to listen to their Farsi service on 41 meters. (Salmaniw,
Victoria, BC, Canada)

NETHERLANDS 15069.7, 2324-, Alfa Lima International Mar 2 Very weak signal,
in the clear, with ALI ID at 23:27 following usual technopops.  Prolonged
talking at BOH, with frequent mentions of Alfa Lima International, 19m
band, etc.  Not the strongest I've heard them, but not too bad of a
signal,  nonetheless. Rechecked at 0100.  A nice S5 to S7 signal.  This is
about as good as I ever hear them.  Well done, Alfred!  Suddenly off at
02:22 during music.  Still at about S5. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC, Canada)

NORTH AMERICAN PIRATE 6925, 0135-, Mystery Science Radio Mar 2 Stong S9+10
signal with Cherokee Jack giving ID for Mystery Science Radio, and QSL
requests to POB 69, Elkorn Nebraska, 68022.  Nice music programming
overall.  When rechecked at 0316, KAIM was there at same strength, also in
USB.  ?same location?. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC, Canada)

OMAN 15355, 0257-, R.OMAN Mar 3 Arabic music, into National Anthem played
by military band, then into English with time check for 0700 AM.  Fair
reception, best in LSB. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC, Canada)

SOLOMON ISLANDS 5019.94, 1615-, R.Solomon Islands Mar 2 Surprising
reception, still, with BBC sports news.  Some splatter from dirty Chinese
tx on 5030.  About an S5 signal. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC, Canada)
