Report from Bogdan Alexandru Chiochiu in
Pierrefonds-est (Montreal), Quebec, Canada:
Hello to all of you !
No time to send a full report (i.e.: time, name of
the station, etc...) but I want to say that I did experience excellent condx to
Latin America the past evening. Here is what I heard (all MWs heard on the Sanyo
MCD-S830 barefoot with the exception of WWL-870 wich was audible on the Sangean
606a barefoot only !, the SW ones hear with a long-wire attached to the
unextended telescopic antenna of the Sagean-ATS 606A). A fair to poor spanish
stn on 6180 kHz was heard this Sunday morning around 7:25 AM EST (don't know to
translate into UTC as I usually don't DX at this time) with educationnal pgm
until 0731 EsT followed by old-fashioned Latin mx- very much appreciated to get
any help on this one:
Caicos-530 (excellent and local-like
!)
Dominican Republic-600 (also very strong
!)
Cuba-600
Nicaragua-600
Guadeloupe-640
Venezuela-640 (excellent just before I got to bed
!)
WWFE-FL-670 (w/ possible very weak traces from
Rebelde-Cuba as well !)
Venezuela-750 (poor-weak with WSB)
Colombia-760 (poor to fair)
Venezuela-780 (did copy the world "...lugar..."
wich is part of the slogan "primer lugar en sintoña that Radio Coro use - 2nd
time this season - poor with WBBM nulled almost completly away; but surprinsgly
only minor 20 kHz side-band splash from local CJAD-800 !!)
WWL-LA-870 (at 0257 UTC with WWL jingle and ID,
talk - fairly good signal - the Sangean ferrite bar antenna seems better than
the Sanyo one in the 800-900 kHz area ! - it was detectable as a SAH only w/ the
Sanyo !)
Colombia(HJIJ "Emisora Atlantico")-1070 (new
!!)
Venezuela-1200 (presumed - briefly audible for 1 or
2 seconds with salsa at 0356 UTC)
WOAI-TX-1200 (tentative - all nx format mixing with
Ottawa w/ very minor QRM from an unID NOS domestic as well, but Ottawa too
strong to keep up with this)
Mauritania-4845 (fairly good around 2230 UTC
!)
WWRB-TN-5050
Radio Marti-6030 (Way over the Cuban bubble jammer
tx at 2320 UTC !!!)
CFRX-6070
Deutsche Welle-6075
unID SS-6180 (educational pgm followed by old
fashioned Latin American mx; heard on Sunday morning 0725
EsT/1225 UTC - at 0800 EsT/1300 UTC off or fade-out with nearly
an hour after dawn ?) My guess would be Colombia or XEPMP Radio Educacíon
wich may have moved there from adjacent 6185, both are possible - I have
this one on tape if anyone is interessed.
Radiobras (Radio Nacional AM Brasília) -
Brazil-9965 (Brazilian pops to 2300 UTC, then several spots, ID as "Radio
Nacional AM Brazília" and mention of music pgm followed by an interesting
mixture of ZY and American pops - Very strong signal !)
Real-audio recordings of some of the catches I have
on tape will be made tomorrow or after-tomorrow.
That's it for now !,
73, good DX and good evening !,
Bogdan Alexandru Chiochiu
Btw.: Before I do the home-works on math I was
checking the SW bands and did heard a poor signal from CFRX-6070 wich is usually
very good. A sign of auroral conditions and enhanced LatinMWDX tonight too. I
also heard a fairly good signal out of Brasil-9665 wich is on a southerly path,
so things on MW should be the same too, at least I
hope.
