Hello !
We had two visits this evening, one to a 20 year
old friend of my father who is studying both philosophy and photography at
the McGill University (in the Cartierville area of Montreal) and another to a
family (in the St.-Laurent suburb), both romanians. We listened to the 50 kW
local Infos 6-90, CJPX 99.5, the first track of a CD and DX, of course. En
route, my father checked for me some DX channels; the only consisent
LAm signal was obviously R. Vision Cristiana-530, but with a whip antenna,
signals from co-channel domestics cannot be nulled (i.e.: WJR on 760
QRMing Baranquilia). I also heard a good signal from assumed
WRVA-1140, before lost to unknown noise source, near the parking of the
first person. What is interesting is that this car-radio do receive some
side-band splatter 30 kHz away from the nominal frequency of a local (hearing
some slops from CKAC on 760); I do not call this a selectif
receiver.
After listening about 4 minutes of 530 we turned
the radio to FM and listened to some waltz and classic Christmas music on local
CJPX-99.5. It was quite nice, to say the last !
Here is the full

way underneath; some electrical noises QRM from circulation fires on two

appeared prompted my father to move the radio to FM, just before stoping it

This is all we heard in the car this evening.
I hope to do an hour or so of DX listening now, before going to sleep. I'll have
to do a preparation for a french oral tomorrow that we'll have this
Wensday.
That's it for now !,
73 and good DX,
Bogdan Chiochiu
