[HCDX] Loggings from Victoria, BC

[Walter Salmaniw <salmaniw@xxxxxxx>]

TUNESIA 9720, 0409-, Tunesian Radio and Television May 9 Good reception of 
an Arabic language program with western EZL instrumental music, with a lot 
of adjacent splatter, but strong signal.  Parallel to equally strong 7275, 
and weaker 7190.  Just as I'm typing this they have reverted to Arabic 
music. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC)

USA 7384.98, 0426-, Radio Netherlands May 9 I didn't know that RN is 
relayed via WRMI, with an English program about Estonian music, followed by 
an ID.  Then into Amsterdam Forum from Toronto.  Good, but not nearly as 
clean as the signal from Bonaire.  Checked their website, and it's a relay 
of WRN. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC)

ALBANIA 7354.90, 0225-, TWR May 12 Tentative logging for this station, as 
they were typically off frequency in the past.  Too weak to identify the 
language with certainty.  Talk by male until 0227, then music, then talk by 
YL.  Lots of atmospheric noise tonight.  I was wondering about WRNO, when 
the TWR IS sounded at 0230.  Frankly, I was hoping that WRNO was back!. 
(Salmaniw, Victoria, BC)

NORTH KOREA 9335.16, 1528-, Voice of Korea May 16 Mind numbing programming 
in English with somewhat distorted audio.  Program about the 'Role of 
Ideological Conciousness in Socialist Society'.  Exciting programming, let 
me tell you.  This followed the 59th installment of the readings of the 
great leader, or some such topic.  Frequent IDs. Parallel to 11710 (also 
good).  9325.02 was on at same time, but in Russian at good level as well. 
(Salmaniw, Victoria, BC)

CHINA 9785, 1535-, China Radio International May 16 Excellent reception of 
English programming to WCNA about events in Beijing, including Riverdance 
from Ireland, with the Irish cultural official mentioning the similarities 
between Ireland and China (?!).  Then an ad for CRI on line, at 
www.crienglish.com. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC)

CHINA 17720, 1546-, Radio Canada International May 16 Spotlight program in 
English at fair level from Xian, China.  No useable parallels heard. 
(Salmaniw, Victoria, BC)

PAKISTAN 15724.64, 1600-, Radio Pakistan May 16 Interval signal for several 
minute before TOH, followed by English ID and news.  Initially very 
difficult to understand, but slowly improving.  Fair at best, and parallel 
to 15100.  End of news at 1509 with headlines. Followed by news 
commentary.  15100 is stronger and much easier to follow.   11570 barely 
audible here.  Off when rechecked at 1616. (Salmaniw, Victoria, BC)
