[Swprograms] BBC reception W NAm

["Alan Johnson" <alanjohnson@xxxxxxxx>]

Hard to believe that the BBC WS in EE would ever be a DX target, but here's 
what I can hear in Reno, NV using an Eton E1XM and DX Engineering active 
antenna.  Times in UTC and frequencies in Khz.

0100   Asia service 15360 inaudible,  15280 fair

0200   same, but ute QRM to 15280 after 0230

0300   Asia  21660 inaudible,  17660 fair with CODAR QRM

           Africa 6005 and 6035 good - 6005 stronger signal but more QRM, 
6190 RNW, 7160 fair

0400   Asia 15280 and 17760 inaudible, Saudi Arabia audible on latter 
channel

           Africa 6005 fair with QRM from Cuba, 7120 and 7160 good

Don't forget the other exotic DX target at 0400 - VOA in EE to Africa which 
booms in for the first half-hour on 9575

0500   Africa 6005 clobbered by Cuba, 7160 fair, 11765 poor, but may improve 
in summer, 11940 inaudible

1500    Asia  6195 poor due to Chinese QRM, 9740 excellent

            Africa 3255, 11940, 17830 and 21470 inaudible

1700    Africa 17830 inaudible, 17885 poor and 21470 fair to good

Using a Sony ICF-2010 and ANLP-1, the best reception was at 0300 on 6035, 
0400 6005 and 7120 and 1700 on 21470

I'll recheck after the switch to DST.

73,
