Hello to all of you !
Condx were not excellent like they were Thursday
(when I had SS all the way up to 1180), but I still managed to get at least the
regular stations. I only DXed beetwen a half-hour 10-10:30 PM intensively, but
maked a quick low-band band-scan beetwen 8:43-8:46 PM, so some logs were made
then (0143-0146 UTC). What was interesting is that while RCN
Barranquilla had commercial ads, another SS was heard underneath,
probably I have a possible ID ont ape, but need to review it. I
also remarked that this station signal was actually modulated by the
HJAJ carrer (see below). Other noticing this effect ? Not anything
new, but...:
Equipment: Sanyo MCD-S830, long barefoot, 6 kHz
filter
QTH: West Island of MTL (Pierrefonds-Est), Quebec,
Canada
530 Turks and Caicos, Radio
Vision Cristiana JAN 12 0314 - old-fashionned SS song. Fair w/ some
computer QRM originating probably from our neighborhoods
(Chiochiu-PQ)
600 Cuba, Radio Rebelde, CMKV,
Urbano Norris JAN 12 0315 - SS talk (not sure if a Castro monologue
or a sports event). Fairly good, but with some QRM including a fairly big
growl wich maked this sound a bit muffed. A slow-rhythm bachata song
was heard underneath, probably this was the cause of the growl as
noted several times, but not sure. David Crawford in east-coast FL also
heard this one (Chiochiu-PQ)
640 Venezuela, YVQO, Union Radio, Puerto La Cruz,
Anz. JAN 12 0302 - Venezuelan newscast hosted by a man followed
by a report with several furrious manifestants. Fair reception (good
signal, some QRM) ! (Chiochiu-PQ)
750 Venezuela, YVKS, Caracas, D.F. JAN 12
0143 - Man in Spanish noted in passing at a poor-fair level
(Chiochiu-QC)
760 Colombia, HJAJ, Barranquilia JAN 12 0205
- 0207+ - w/ ads for Supermercado (supermarket) and other thing occ. mixing
with another SS stn underneath (Venezuela, Peru, XEABC, WLCC - SS domestic
in Florida ? + 0207 - suddenly dropped power !
(sudden cut, then faded a minute later with a much weaker signal,
probably a power cut ?) with just a barely detectable signal from the other (SS)
station - station being modulated by the OC of another ? I've also remarked some
days when WSB-750 was MUCH stronger before YVKS sign-off at 0400 UTC than after
? When I had 9 or 10 years old in Romania (1996-1997) I also remarked this
effect - when there was a carrer from another station present, then this
modulated and maked stronger the signal of the other station on the same channel
(i.e.: WSB strong when YVKS is on and weak after Venezuela goes off or when I
listened to Ghana on 4915 kHz (or 4905 ?) 60 meters and heard Brasil underneath
quite strong, Radio Anhanguera Goina then when Ghana would go off (at
their local mid-night - 2400 UTC) my Realistic DX-351 with all the gain,
wire into the ground (floppy-disk) of the computer and box and
keyboard I put to enhance reception will not have enough gain for the red
lighter of my SW radio to stay on even though Brasil was still audible - by
the way this was my first 60MB Brazilian (June 2001). This could explain why Jim
Renfrew heard the Globo ID easy even when WTAM had it's OC on, perphaps
! (Chiochiu-QC)
73 and good DX,
Bogdan Chiochiu
