[HCDX] Logs for Al Muick - 6 February
QTH: Kabul, Afghanistan
RX: WinRadio G303e
ANT: 200m Longwire/Randomwire
ACC: Palstar MW-550P Mediumwave Preselector
7135 BELARUS, R. Station Belarus heard at 2341 on 6 February in Russian
with Techno music and DJ. Fair signals, even though meant for Europe
7225 CHINA, PBS Sichuan "Minorities Program" heard at 2317 on 6 February
with a woman announcer in Mandarin. Seemed to be reading from a list and
was quite repetitive until some piano and guitar music and a presumed
station ID at 2330. Very weak for 10kW.
Feels like forever since I have had a chance to DX! A major power disaster
at work on Thursday left about 70% of our IT infrastructure down and most of
the weekend was spent replacing and repairing that equipment.
NEPAL - I haven't seen the 5005 carrier in a few days, but I have just
received an email from Ram Karki who is working out in the field there. He
tells me:
"Great apology for not replying on time. I was away from home and it is very
difficult to find internet and power supply together. We have power supply
only 8 hours a day and 16 hours of power supply cut.
"Regarding SW transmitter, I need to find the donors. Government is not
funding us this time. We are not in priorities. So it may take long time."
I had no idea that things have gotten so bad there. It seems that DX'ers
will still have to wait a while more before a new shortwave transmitter is
brought online in Nepal. Ram personally delivered my QSL to me in 2006 when
he returned to Sudan from annual leave. Maybe USAID or some other grant
machine will come through for them.
73s de Al Muick
