[HCDX] Caribbean Logs
Hello everyone,
on a fantastic cruise through the caribbean, I was able to capture some domestic medium wave and fm stations from the following countries/territories. my stations are logged either from the upper deck of the Ship M.S. Elation in the ocean or in the country/territory itself. I wish that I could have had more time to DX, but there were more things to do like tour and sight-see all day ion the islands and party all night on the ship.
The radio used was a Sony boom box with CD, digital am-fm radio, and cassette. here in usa, the FM had numerous overload of local brodcasters ending up all over the band, however, this good sensitivity was not overloaded in the Caribbean or Atlantic or on the islands where signals were not as congested or strong. I was glad for the sensitivity then. The AM was also very sensitive after a good re-calibration of I.F. and R.F. pots. the AM was very satisfactory in sensitivity, selectivity and did not overload with intermods. for a $50.00 boom box with digital radio, cassette, and cd, from wal-mart, I was very satisfied. However, it was NO kenwood R-5000.
I have hours of recordings with excellent music, id's, and domestic programming. now, to convert them all over to professional CDR.
Here are the loggings:
Turks and Caicos Islands: 101.9 FM, Grand Turk, "Radio Turks and Caicos Islands" also ID as "RTC". 23:10 to 23:55 ID, local music program, and advertisements "Now time to pay some bills". I had the pleasure to run up to the station building and tower and get my photo taken. No time for a studio tour. (Steve Price, Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos Islands, 09-15-06)
