Subject: [HCDX] some MW and SW logs from
the past evening
Report from Bogdan Chiochiu
4190 Edward Higgins
Pierrefonds, Quebec, Canada
Equipment:
MW: Sanyo MCD-S830 w/ ferrite bar
antenna
SW: Sangean 606 w/ outdoor long-wire,
connected massive parts of it (massive enough to not need a plug) to
the antenna terminal instead of the telescopic whip, so no more
overload !
530 TURKS AND CAICOS, Radio Vision
Cristiana Internacional, South Caicos FEB 25 0311 - Man talking in SS
about God with a passionated voice. Very strong, but
with some computer QRM (Chiochiu-QC)
600 DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, Santo Domingo
FEB 25 0241 - Presumed with LAm mx. Very poor w/ heavy QRM from WICC
Bridgeport, possible Cuba and computer (s). (Chiochiu-QC)
640 VENEZUELA, YVQO, Union
Radio, Puerto-La-Cruz, Anzàtegui FEB 25 0254 - with items about Hugo
Chavez followed by a news about narcotrafficants in Rio de Janeiro (almost the
same nx as RCN carred a few minutes earlier). Good signal, but w/ moderate
co-channel QRM (Chiochiu-QC)
640 CUBA, Radio Progreso FEB 25
0258 - Romantic ballad under Venezuela, probably played on the program Trios
en la noche (Chiochiu-QC)
750 VENEZUELA, YVKS, Caracas DF FEB
25 0226 - Man announcer. Poor and very soon lost to almost nothing. This has
got to be a very poor performer over the last few weeks here. In October and
November they were often excellent and occasionally even almost local-like. Is
it me, their power or just the poorer conditions
? (Chiochiu-QC)
760 COLOMBIA, HJAJ, RCN Barranquilia
FEB 25 0243 - Good-strong. Woman w/ "Informacíon para Nocturna de RCN..." then
ads. Very dominant signal with WJR nulled; the best South American signal on
the MW and SW bands at the time ! + FEB 25 0252 - Talk about the
judiciary process of the Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, followed by an item
about narco-trafficants in Rio de
Janeiro (Chiochiu-QC)
4845 MAURITANIA, Radio Mauritanie,
Nouckchott FEB 25 2254 - Man in AA. Fair with moderate fadings
and some powerline noises; SIO 323 (Chiochiu-QC)
5010 DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, Radio
Cristal Int'l, Santo Domingo FEB 24 2320-2345 +/- - while
playing chess with a friend and listening to the shortwave radio at the same
time (without loocking at the clock) heard 2 meringue songs, local
ads (one was for TV station "Canal 25"), Radio Pueblo IDs wich announced to be
on MW-1510 and on SW followed by Radio Cristal Int'l ID (..."1510... amplitud
modulada... banda tropical de 60 metros...). Very good reception; SIO 444-3
(Chiochiu-QC)
6070 CANADA, CFRX, Toronto, ON FEB 24
-2119+ - Traffic report. Frequent "CFRB" and "CFRB 10-10" IDs during
listening. SIO 443 (with fadings); the strongest (and the only strong) 49 MB
signal at this early time - it was before I begun my homework on maths.
(Chiochiu-QC)
6180 BRAZIL, Radio Nacional da
Amazonia FEB 24 2200 +/- with futboll + FEB 24 2306 - ID as
"Radio Nacional da Amazonia" and mention of 49 and 25 MB
frequencies after the nx (where I heard the first time mentions of
narco-traffic in Rio) followed by more PP talk. Excellent, stronger than
many major international broadcasters at the time; SIO 544. Tryed to get
a // with 9665 but only heard splash from 9660 and 9670
(Chiochiu-QC)
It was fun to listen to the DX yesturday. There
is something interessant to report on both the MW and SW bands; it's nice.
This morning I couldn't get much due to the computer QRM, as many of you know
- if I was less sleppy perphaps I could shut down the basement computer
(wich window is close to the place in our yard we have the SW aerial -
the QRM heard on MW DX was only from our neighborhoods and much less
severe) and do some DX this morning as well... Well, maybe the next
morning...
I would like to try to hear Radio New Zealand
International. I tryed for 17675 kHz wich is a frequency listen in the
Passport to World Band Radio handbook Hans Johnson sent to me, but I didn't
heard anything. Does anyone know a better frequency for NZ ?
That's it for now !
73 and good DX,
Bogdan Chiochiu
