[HCDX] Corrections to Grayland, WA loggings 9 to 11 July
My apologies for several mistakes and to those who caught them. Running
with little sleep night after night causes me to occasionally miss the
proper keys. I've reviewed them and here are the correct logging
information, as well as a comment or two:
PAPUA AND NEW GUINEA 4960, 1150-, Catholic Radio Network (CRN) Jul 9
Surprising, but an ad for outboard motors and another for a car (only
72,500 K). 'Number one distributor'. 'For your small
business'. 'Telephone or fax us'. This is the first time I've heard
anything but local religious or Vatican Radio programming. Into local
sounding choral hymn at 11:56 until 12:02:30. Then talk in
Pidgin. 'United Nations Development Program'. 'Leadership Development
Program' Good reception apart from static crashes. Still going strong
at 12:52 with ID as EWPN, at least that's what it sounded like. American
accented DJ, and then Amazing Grace. Prayer in English at 1300. Then
Pidgin announcements from 1301, and an ad for PNG Motors used
cars. Numerous phone numbers given as well. Far fewer IDs now compared to
the first week of programming! Still no luck past 1330. Finally, usual
ID at 13:33:30 as 'This is the Catholic Radio Network of Papua New Guinea'
(the same one heard several times an hour in June). (Salmaniw, Grayland, WA)
For your interest, 72,500 Kina works out to $USD 23,325. A fair chunk of
change for a very poor country!
VANUATU 7260.137, 09:45-, Radio Vanuatu Jul 10 Not quite armchair copy, but
close with Latin music (Carlos Santana). Note off frequency. I didn't
notice this last night, though I had to do some surgery on my receiver to
align the frequency standard. 0953 brief talk by OM in Bislama, and into a
French vocal. ID at 09:55:30, again in Bislama, and then into another
French vocal. Mostly about S6 to S7 signal. I believe there's French at
10:02. Definite Bislama at 10:04 recheck, with mentions of
Vanuatu. 'Competition, National Radio of Vanuatu' at 10:12. (Salmaniw,
Grayland, WA)
AUSTRALIA 891, 1226-, 5AN Adelaide Jul 10 ABC Football with the Kangaroo
game. ABC Football ID at 1226. Post gave show. Talk of next gave in
Adelaide. 5AN presumed. Cochannel with a weaker English speaker. End of
program at 12:30, and directly into ABC National news re shark attack on a
29 year male in Perth, who died on the beach. Good signal. (Salmaniw,
Grayland, WA)
This sad news made it into the international news. I heard about it
locally upon my return home.
RUSSIA 11840, 2007-, Radio Sakhalin Jul 10 Virtually a 5-5-5 signal with
Russian news (Radio Rossii). Into weather 16 to 17 deg C and rain on
Sakhalin. This station is not on very often, and is the first time in a
long while for me. Radio Sakhalin ID (jingle ID!), and then good morning
to Sakhalin, with further weather forecast, including the Kirile Is. Takes
me back to the years when they used to have a blockbuster signal on 4485, I
think. I used to hear that one during the day in the Pacific
north-west! At 20:28 Sakhalin weather again (12 to 17 deg C), jingle ID
for Radio Sakhalin, and into program, 'Armiyskiy Chas', or Army
times. Continues a nice level. Off at 2100. (Salmaniw, Grayland, WA)
