[HCDX] DX-Camp Bavaria, November 2002

["Michael Schnitzer" <michael_schnitzer@xxxxxx>]

Hello to all,

once again the DX-Camp Bavaria took place from November 14th to 18th 2002.
As usual Beverage antennas were installed into all relevant DX directions up
to 300m. I would like to emphasize some highlights:

Already the first day of the Camp enabled a special DX experience on 3220
kHz at around 1950 UTC. Radio Morobe, a local station from Papua New Guinea,
was audible on the Asia Beverage with sensational signal strength (S=9). On
the following days the station was not to be heard any more. Sound file
(mp3, 140 KB) available on demand.

We also used the first Camp night in order to listen to the Bhutan
Broadcasting Service signing on at 01.00 UTC on 6035. Bhutan was a new radio
country for the most of the participants. We heard flutes, drums and monk
singing and had the impression to be in a buddhist monastery. Due to the
local sunrise in the Himalaya the station faded out at around 01.30 UTC.
Also in this case I can offer a mp3 audio clip (215 KB).

Important information for all Pacific-enthusiats: all DXers who hear
something on 5020 at around 1915 UTC on 5020, should strictly avoid to send
a reception report to Honiara. SIBC is not active on shortwave at present.
What we heard here was the fewer exotic RAI from Rome, obviously a mixing
product(spurious).

Always of interest for European DXers is Radio Vanuatu, which can be heard
at present under good conditions in the morning from 6.00 to approximately
7.10 UTC on 7260. This station ran best on the 220°-Beverage, i.e. reception
via long path.

The enthusiasts of Pacific-DX sometimes can observe strange music pieces
like German folksongs etc. played by PNG stations and others of the region.
Something similar on Radio Vanuatu: In the middle of November we could hear
the Christmas song "Silent Night, Holy Night". And R New Ireland starts its
program on 3905 at 1930 with the melody of a well known German song ("Muss i
denn zum Städtele hinaus").
