``Hola, todos! Nací el 13 de mayo de 1967 en la localidad de Quillota,
República de Chile, radioaficionado licenciado desde 1981, cuando
tenía 14 años.

Mi primera licencia fue la de solicitante número 1881, luego obtuve
ce2fau, ce4fau, ce4ats, ce2ats, y en la actualidad ce2tp. Estoy
felizmente casado con Claudia Bernal desde el 28 de agosto de 1993,
tenemos dos hijos.
Me gusta el radio hamming y lo disfruto mucho, es el único hobby que
tengo.

Lo que me gusta es la comunicación de larga distancia (dx) en todas
las bandas, pero sobre todo intente la propagación en la banda de 6
metros.

En mi choza hay un Icom IC-746 pro, Icom IC-7000 versión europea, Icom
Ic-761, raro Icom IC-740s, solo 25w PEP con el que utilizo un pequeño

TS-440sat, TS-850sat, TS-450sat, TS-130s, Yaesu FT-891, Yaesu System

FT-100 D, y Icom IC-706, con antena helicoidal de Eco veicolare
fabricado en Italia, y el Kawasaki pongo Alinco DR-135mkII VHF, antena
de 5/8 ondas.

Las antenas que utilizo como se muestra en las imágenes de abajo hacia
arriba: 3 elementos yagi Hy gain TH 3 jrs. Elaboración casera 3 el.
monobanda para 6 metros. En la parte superior de la torre hay una VHF
9-el. viga, espaciamientos largos, fabricada por Tonna (Francia).

In my brief F2 10m session, heard only one other phone higher up and
two Es beacons lower down from MEXICO, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, May 15 at 0638, huge S9+10 dead air, got to be RHC way
out of whack again, supposedly daytime only frequency. Now it`s the
SSOB by far -- strongest signal on band, not even 15770 WRMI more than
JBA carrier. No other RHCs found now on any band. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORWAY [non]. Re R Northern Star via TRSW via WRMI, "All the music
is US classic rock, in English, and even the wide variety of jingles
and IDs are in American accent." Kari Kallio, Finland replies:

``RNS buys the entire music program package ready-made, I remember
from the USA. Svenn might have said the name of that company to me,
but in that case I've already happily forgotten it. br Kari`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Mon May 15 at 2200, NO signal from REE to NAm; 15520
& 17715 in OK, as Justin skips any news, about this being 40th
anniversary from 1983 teletext in Spain, then interview with an artist
named Williams (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. Correcting my comment about 5960 not in English, May 14:
``5960 always carries Turkish, English at 18:30 was on 5945 kHz as
usual. Announcer Omar was reading out the latest election figures
followed by some music. I did not stay listening for long.
11785 at 23:00 [2200 UT] is too late for me to listen.

Earlier in the day at 12:30 on 15450 kHz, the lady announcer with the
almost incomprehensible accent was on duty, speaking about the
election. She appears to have been suffering from a sore throat - due
to a virus - or maybe from over enthusiastic shouting at a rally?

It looks like a winner for Erdogan in the run-off in two weeks time.
So another 5 years of oppression of the media in Turkiye. Alan Holder,
G4ZBH, Isle of Wight, U.K.`` on the WOR iog.

9875, May 15 at 2042, VOT English via UTwente, S9+20/30 but
heavyaccent YL about elexion. 2045 `Feeling Supreme` theme; 2105
multi-lingual ID filler reel.

11785, May 15 at 2200, not off the air direct but poor. It would take
very careful listening with perfect reception and accent to evaluate
whether VOT reporting is objective or partial to Recep (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
