[HCDX] Loggings from this evening 2 March Victoria, BC

[Walter Salmaniw <salmaniw@xxxxxxx>]

Every night is different.  Reception tonight of Zimbabwe is pretty much 
non-existent, but there is an opening to the Indian 
subcontinent.  Wonderful reception from Brazil on 25 meters.  WSHB is 
gone....another SW broadcaster bites the dust.  Sad!

USA 7535, 0700-0800, WSHB Cypress Creek Mar 1 This is the last program I 
stayed up to monitor, waiting for a final goodbye.  Alas, there was 
none...only the same canned announcement at the end of the program 
announcing the discontinuation of SW, after the Christian Science 
broadcast.  I'm not sure if there were any further broadcasts after this 
time.  WSHB is definitely gone as I type this at 01:30 2 March. (Salmaniw, 
Victoria, BC)

PAKISTAN 5027.25, 0142-, Radio Pakistan Mar 2 TBL lists this one as Radio 
Pakistan, Quetta with Regional Service from 0045 in Urdu/E.  The Indian 
type chanting by a male, but more of a Muslim influence fits perfectly.  No 
parallels noted.  Talk is not in English.  Lots of Rebelde splatter, but 
the signal is otherwise in the clear.  Weak. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC)

INDIA 9470, 0151-, AIR Mar 2 Excellent reception with lovely Hindi 
music.  Listed as Hindi-English service.  Parallel 9425 is fair.  Hindi 
talk by YL at 0154, then haunting Indian music. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC)

ICELAND 13855, 0155-, AFRTS Mar 2 AFN programming at fair level with 
news.  In the clear, with some deeper fades. No parallels noted, as all 
other AFRTS stations monitored were carrying a ball game. (Salmaniw, 
Victoria, BC)

BRAZIL 11780, 0213-, Radio Nacional da Amazonia Mar 2 Superb reception 
5-5-5, S9 + 10 to 20 signal totally in the clear with multiple full 
ID's.  All in Portuguese of course. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC)
