[HCDX] Fri Morn DX

["Charles B" <ka4prf@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bolivia, 4716.70, Radio Yura, 1000-1015,  Noted a very weak signal here that is
audible intermittently with music and Spanish comments from a male.  As noted
the signal is threshold at best.  (Chuck Bolland, October 09, 2009)


Peru, 4775, Radio Tarma, 1012-1033,  Noted music and Spanish comments
from a male.  This signal was threshold with periods when it disappeared
completely.  (Chuck Bolland, October 9, 2009)

Peru, 6075, Radio Causauki Coca, 1018-1030,  Although Causauki Coca is 
at a threshold level, it's easy to identify with a male in Spanish language comments.
His talk continues during the period.  Signal was threshold.  (Chuck Bolland,
October 9, 2009)

Peru, 4824.47, Voz de la Selva, 1036-1045,  With a very strong carrier but having
poor audio, noted a program of steady music here.  There's some canned 
promos occasionally between musical selections, but everything seems to 
be canned.  Signal was poor.  (Chuck Bolland, October 9, 2009)

Peru, 4835.44, Radio Maranon, 1040-1050,  Noted music at tune in with a 
female (possibly canned) giving TC over music.  However, after each tune
concluded a male in Spanish comments.  Also heard a female commenting.
The signal was poor.  (Chuck Bolland, October 9, 2009)

Peru, 5039.19, Radio Libertad, 1049-1100,  This signal is threshold consequently
the signal is "iffy" at this time.  Noted a female(?) in comments between fade
out.  Music was also heard during the period.  (Chuck Bolland, October 9, 2009)

Solomon Islands, 5020, SIBC, 1053-1100,  Noted a male in Pidgin language 
comments. At 1057 local type music heard.  Signal was poor.  (Chuck
Bolland, October 9, 2009)

Although there were a good quantity of stations on the air this morning,
none had listenable signals.  Each one was either very poor or threshold.
Even so, a month ago conditions were worst.  I guess I should be thinking
positive and be looking forward to the fall and winter months when traditionally
DX improves.  In the meantime, I might get out there with some Brasso and
give my antenna a good cleaning - just joking.  I doubt if that would help?  
Or maybe it would?  I wonder ....?

Whatever I decide, I must remind myself to be careful.  I saw a rattle snake
in my yard yesterday as I was cutting the grass. It was only a "pigmy" rattler,
but those things can put a hurting on me if I get bite?  One of them bite my 
dog last year and my dog was hurting for a week.  I haven't been killing the
rattle snakes I find in my yard. Instead, I catch them and carry them to another
spot away from my property.  Unfortunately, the ones I carry away either come
back or they have a bunch of twin brothers?  Someone told me to get some
"snake away" which I did, but it seems that doesn't repel them. In the meantime,
I'll keep an eye on where I walk.
