[HCDX] 18 August logs

[Dave Valko <djvalko@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

LATVIA   9290   Not a peep from any of the relays here this morning in the 
0655-0802 time frame.  Then again I may not have had the antenna tuned 
exactly either!!  (Valko 18 August)

PAPUA NEW GUINEA   3334.97   R. East Sepik  1014-1033  ?Baby When You Talk 
to Me? by The Outfield, then live M anncr w/song anmnt, short canned ad bhy 
W along w/same live M mentioning 5 o?oclock and PNG, then back to mx 
w/pleasant island Pop song, 1020 M anncr again w/song anmnts, and cont. mx 
w/?More Than a Feeling? by Boston.  Has drifted down from the usual 3335 
since the last time I?ve hrd it.  Best PNG on 90 meters.  Also noted the 
120 mb Aussies doing well, 2850 N. Korea, and a signal from pres. RRI 
Gorontalo on 3266.44.  (Valko 18 August 2007)

INDONESIA   3987.06  RRI Manokwari (pres.)  1036-1103  Nonstop Indo Pops 
amid Ham QRM.  Finally deep-voiced M anncr came on at 1059 but was covered 
almost immediately by Ham.  What sounded like a stn signature melody 
followed, then M anncr again, but Hams made it impossible to 
copy.  Different M anncr after 1100, pres. nx.  Indos doing pretty well for 
a middle of August morning.  Fading though.  (Valko 18 August)

USA (ALASKA)   7370   KNLS  While looking for Wantok R. Light, found OC 
here around 1033.  Noted OC all the way to the ToH.  Came back at 1102 and 
found 2 stns at equal lvl.  VOA in SP and KNLS playing soft Rel. vcl song 
sounding very much like Meatloaf!!  Got KNLS ID call at 1106 after 
song.  KNLS would be decent without the VOA QRM.  Tnx Glenn Hauser 
tip.  (Valko 18 August)

JAPAN  9695   R.J.  Weak in EG at 1115 w/feature by M.  Many ments of Japan 
and Tokyo and what sounded like ??a Samurai first in?.?.  Different pgm 
segment at 1117 w/conversation by anncrs.  Another co-channel stn was 
taking over for a time while this faded a bit.  Also had a carrier on 
9694.96 which may have been Brazil.  (Valko 18 August)

NEW ZEALAND  9655   R.N.Z. National Svc   1123 ?Alright Now? by Free, 1024 
M anncr w/song anmnt, ID, then song anmnt and another song from 1975.  1127 
brief song anmnt, and into ?I Never Promised You a Rose Garden?.  More of 
the same w/70?s Pops.  Good.  The DRM signal on 7145 was strong.  (Valko 18
