[HCDX] Logs - Feb 23 - Memphis, TN



** AUSTRALIA 6020, R. Australia, Shepparton, 23 Feb, *0900-1315; a few bars of Waltzing Matilda IS into Pidgin service. English service at 1100 lasting until tune-out. Good signal throughout except during the 1228-1314 UTC Vatican Radio via Philippines. No sign of R Gaúcha during the 0700-1315 UTC recordings. (Jordan-TN)

** BOLIVIA 6024.99v, (tent) R Patria Nueva, La Paz, 23 Feb, 0850-1134 fade-out; weak carrier-on at 0850, unsure if modulated. Signal slowly increasing until peaking from 1030 to 1045 UTC, coinciding with sunrise in La Paz. Threshold audio with woman speaking is possible Spanish, best in LSB to avoid R Marti mess on 6030. Fading until the carrier finally dropped below noise floor at 1134 UTC. Transmitter slowly drifted downward to 6024.98 kHz at fade-out. (Jordan-TN)

** CANADA 6030, CFVP, Calgary, 23 Feb, 0613-0645; Barn Dance Saturday Night show, country music, a few ads, multiple "Classic Country AM 10-60". Rather weak but nicely readable and stable signal in the UTC Monday morning UTC absence of R Marti. (Jordan-TN)

** COLOMBIA 6009.96v, La Voz de Tu Conciencia, Lomalinda, 23 Feb 0700-f/out - Programs of easy listening vocals and instrumentals, low key talks, inspirational sounding radio dramas. Nominally at equal levels as co-channel R. Mil up to almost an hour after 1110 UTC sunrise in Lomalinda, although better modulation gave Conciencia the edge. Transmitter very slowly drifting between 6009.95-.97 kHz. (Jordan-TN)

** COLOMBIA 6035, La Voz de Guaviare, San José del Guaviare, 23 Feb 0859-1030; transmitter cut-on at 0859 in mid song. Ballads with male announcer between songs with IDs. Full ID at 0957, also mention Radio Cadena Nacional. Young female voice at the top of the hour with a long monologue with constant mentions of Santa Maria. Slop from the mess on 6030 kHz began affecting readability at 1000 UTC, and station beginning to fade by 1015 UTC. Transmitter started on 6030.1 kHz and had slowly drifted down to a few Hz above 6030 by 1000 UTC. (Jordan-TN)

** ETHIOPIA 6030, Radio Oromiya, Addis Ababa, 23 Feb, 0415-0435; vaguely Horn of Africa type music at tune in and lasting until 0430, then brief musical bridge, Radio Oromiya ID then talk by multiple speakers in presumed Oromo, possibly news. Poor to fair levels in the UTC Monday morning absence of R. Marti + jammers. (Jordan-TN)

** MEXICO 6010, XEOI, R. Mil, México D.F., 23 Feb, 0700-1315; mainly musical content, Radio Mil jingles, brief chatter. Good signal level but lack luster modulation usually gave the upper hand to co-channel Colombia until they began to fade. Transmitter stable a few Hz above 6030 kHz. (Jordan-TN)

** PERU 6047.19v, (pres.) R. Santa Rosa, Lima, 23 Feb, *1111-1250 fade-out; audio only started being heard a few minutes ofter the transmitter was turned on. Decent carrier but only just slightly above threshold audio, man in possible Spanish with low-key religious sounding monologue. Much slop from booming HCJB on 6050. Transmitter steadily drifting, up to 6047.22 kHz by carrier fade-out at 1250. (Jordan-TN)

** PHILIPPINES 6020, Vatican Radio, Palauig, 23 Feb, 1228-1314; sudden cut-on at 1228 with Chinese service. At times at equal levels, but usually underneath co-channel R Australia English service. (Jordan-TN)

** THAILAND 6040, Voice of America, Udon Thani, 23 Feb, 1157-1314; transmitter on at 1157 into Chinese programming at 1200. Weak and noisy but steadily improving to almost fair by 1314 tune-out. (Jordan-TN)
