[HCDX] Tropical Band Loggings Dec. 5

["Guy Atkins" <dx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

CHINA 4820, Tibet Peoples BS 0013-0024 Dec. 5 English language lesson with
announcer alternating phrases in Mandarin. Fair during  grayline condx.
Almost gone by 0036 recheck. (Atkins-WA)

INDIA 4790 AIR Chennai 0038-0105 Dec. 5 very faint signal at tune-in with
sub-continental music and announcer in unid. language;  possibly Hindi.
signal buried beneath strong "space zapper" ute (more commonly called the
"swisher" by East Coast North Am. DXers  :^)  Slightly better level at 0100,
but still too weak and buried for ID. More sub-cont. flute and vocals at
0102. (Atkins-WA)

MAURITANIA 4845, R. Mauritanie 0026-0035 Dec. 5 phone-in show with
announcers and callers in Arabic. Primative-sounding stringed  instrument
(kora?) alternating with Arabic chatter between two men-- seemed to be a
performance by a musician in the studio. Very  good reception; best heard
here in years. Checked back at 0050 but found only a carrier.(Atkins-WA)
