[HCDX] Brandon Jordan Logs - Sep 13-15
4699.998 BOLIVIA R San Miguel, Riberalta, Sep 13, *0947:30 - s/on with
contemporary instrumental, soft-spoken OM and YL in Spanish, canned ID
at 0958 UTC (clip: http://tiny.cc/4tMJp), inspirational talks and
vocals. Fair signal with some transmitter dawn enhancement from
1020-1030 UT. (Jordan-TN)
4716.69 BOLIVIA (tent) R Yura, Yura, Sep 13, *0958 - only threshold
audio, drifting up 10 Hz from 4716.68 before stabilizing. (Jordan-TN)
4746.923 PERU (tent) R Huanta 2000, Huanta, Sep 13, *1003 - carrier only
signal at s/on, but strengthening to poor level by 1033 UT with
monologue by YL in lang, fading back to carrier level by 1100 UT.
Relatively stable, drifting +/- 2 Hz. (Jordan-TN)
4769.963 NIGERA R Nigeria, Kaduna, Sep 13, *0428 - transmitter on at
0404 but modulation not heard until 0428. Poor, talk by OM, tribal
music. Much improved at 0500 with news in English then pop and reggae
songs, good peak at 0520 Kaduna sunrise. (Jordan-TN)
4775 SWAZILAND TWR, Manzini, Sep 13, *0342 - vernacular religious
program, English ID at the top of the hour "to Africa service, this is
Trans World Radio" into German program for South Africa. Excellent
signal. (Jordan-TN)
4780 DJIBOUTI R Djibouti, Sep 13, *0400 - 1 kHz test tone from 0342,
possible anthem at 0400, brief announcement by OM in French then
directly to Qu'ran. Poor. (Jordan-TN)
4789.99v PERU R Visión, Chiclayo, Sep 13, 0330 - Power increase? Signal
peaked at 0420 to an excellent level, and remained so the rest of the
night. Iglesia Pentecostal preacher, contemporary Spanish inspirational
vocals, casual R Vision mentions occasionally just after the top of the
hour. After 0600 there many vocals with a strong Andean flavor. (Jordan-TN)
4828.0 ZIMBABWE Voice of Zimbabwe, Gweru, Sep 13, 0330 - poor peaking to
almost fair signal at 0400, talk by OM in heavily accented English,
African pop music. Strong CODAR. Perhaps Sackville should invite the
Gweru technicians over to calibrate their transmitters? (Jordan-TN)
4925.24v BRAZIL R Educação Rural, Tefé, Sep 13, *1009 - poor in CODAR,
drifting from initial 4925.245 down to 4924.237 by 1100 UT. (Jordan-TN)
4949.75 ANGOLA (tentative) R Angola, Mulenvos, Sep 13, 0330 - carrier
only until just threshold audio heard at 0500-0520. Talk by man and
woman, possibly news. (Jordan-TN)
4965 ZAMBIA CVC Voice Africa, Lusaka, Sep 13, 0330 - English with
religious program, peaking from 0400-0415 with more religious talk,
jingles, sound efx, inspirational music, pops. Fair. (Jordan-TN)
4975.966 UGANDA R Uganda, Kampala, Sep 13, 0330 - very little audio
despite decent signal strength, best at 0340-0350 with talk by OM.
(Jordan-TN)
5009.943 MADAGASCAR RTV Madagasikara, Ambohidrano, Sep 13, 0330 - nice
etheric female vocal, talk by OM in vernacular, drumming. Good signal at
tune in despite transmitter being in daylight for 45 minutes, slowly
fading. (Jordan-TN)
5066.34 CONGO, DEM REP (presumed) R Tele-Candip, Bunia, Sep 13, *0359 -
decent strength carrier, possible threshold audio in LSB? Transmitter
dawn enhanced, sign-on is only 9 minutes after Bunia sunrise. Would be
much easier without the WWCR splatter. + Sep 15, *0420 - threshold audio
at 0424 and 0426, OM in French. (Jordan-TN)
15076.02 ANTARTICA R Nacional Arcángel San Gabriel, Base Esperanza, Sep
14, 1800 - on with a Spanish ballad, brief announcement by OM at 1804,
YL mentioning Esperanza and other announcements over ballads. Possible
canned ID by OM at 1815, YL with what sounded to be saludos to oyentes
internacionales, more ballads. Faded down to threshold levels by 1830
then carrier only by 1900. I've been monitoring them daily this month
with the Perseus, today is by and far the best signal. While the
transmitter is fired up between 1730-1740 UT, they do not sign on until
the top of the hour. (Jordan-TN)
