[HCDX] DXing in Lemnos
Report from Lemnos
Hello after a small computer disaster and more than 2 weeks without
it. Hard disk suddenly shown hardware bad sectors that caused
temporarily several programs to 'freeze' for 4 days.
As it is referred in my previous message, my 14 day vacation in
Lemnos was also for monitoring projects. Lemnos is a relatively
small island located 80 km SE from Mt Athos with many mountains .
You will find the island on SE of the Athos peninsula . I had 3 radios
together with me: Yupiteru 7100 scanner , Degen 1102 and Kchibo
C300 and two antenna wires: 8 m wire and Degen 's 5 m wire used
outboards.
However as the rooms had TV sets the lower HF bands (below 6 MHZ)
were nearly impossible to be heard
A map can be found at this page

Here is my DX report from there: ( a quite big list) . I preferred to DX
than watch the Olympics!
Comparative monitoring
Australia / New Zealand comparative monitoring on 9615 RNZI to
15515/415 RA . Both stations have been checked on the 06UTC time
slot . RA had a signal level of [2-3]4232 in both freqs at most of th
days while RNZI was at [1-2]4332.At days after 23 signal was in favor
to RNZI ( nearly fair while RA was poor) Liangas
Australia/SPORE: Radio Christian voice 7180(14-?? , 17820 vs Warna
Spore 7235.[MY favourites ]
RCV as Wartna have been found with nearly same signal level 34433
o all days monitored. Warna until 23? was audible only after 1500 due
to QRM from VOA Corean which seemed to have stopped its
transmissions in that freq There is also a slight QRM from VoChina tha
makes some co-ch QSB . Musical programming is in big favor to
Warna.
RCV 7180 is audible after 1525v due to local level signal from
