[HCDX] Interesting loggings from Victoria, BC 16/07/02.

BOUGAINVILLE 3850, 1028-, Radio Independent Makumui Jul 16 First tuned in
at 10:23 with a barely audible signal in AM, not LSB as reported
elsewhere.  Mostly music, with short announcements.  Seemingly gradually
fading up.  A tentative, but presumed logging as I can't see who else it
could be.  Many thanks to Don Moman motivating me to get up at this early
hour to monitor this most interesting station (fabulous audio clip from
yesterday morning).  Minimum static crashes today. Serious fade down by
10:54, so peaked here about 10:45.  No ham traffic at all.  Carrier but not
much else at 11:02.  Gone when rechecked at 11:14. Seems to me to have been
very much more difficult in past years when it was Radio Independent
Bougainville.  Perhaps they have a better antenna and/or transmitter now vs
in the past, as they seem to be widely heard.  Best here using  K9AY antenna.

PAPUA NEW GUINEA 3905, 1112-, Radio New Ireland Jul 16 Absolutely great
reception this morning with news in Tok Pisin.  Same YL followed by a very
brief ?ad, then talk about schools, islands.  Mentioned phone number
9821746 at 11:30:40.  A bit of hash on the upper side.  ID for Radio New
Ireland at 11:32, then good night, and into music.  A real treat having so
many PNGs back!   Every bit as strong as 4890.

TIBET 9490, 1102-, Tibet PBS Jul 16 Fair to good signal in difficult to
follow English.  YL proceeded to talk about dimensions of some structure or
another, though she mentioned a monastery.  This is the end of this program
at 11:11:45, and also mentioned Holy Tibet.  Into a Tibetan (or Chinese?)
vocal song.  Very much a tourist sounding program.  Unable to hear any
other parallels at this time.
