[HCDX] Logs for Al Muick
QTH: Kabul, Afghanistan
RX: WinRadio G303e
ANT: 200m Longwire/Randomwire
ACC: Palstar MW-550P Mediumwave Preselector
4750, 09 AUG, 1256 UTC, BANGLADESH, Bangladesh Betar, In Bengali wih flute
music until time pips and ID by man on the hour, then into news and call-in
show. Fair reception and improving as dusk approached.
5965, 09 AUG, 1746 UTC, MALAYSIA, RTM Klasik Nasional, in Malayalam with
Malay oldies, IDs and news on the hour. 100kW with very good signal, but
smashed by PBS Xijian on 5960.
6518, 09 AUG, 1708 UTC, CLAN (KOREA), Voice of the People, in Korean with
man and woman in bland talk. // 6600 Both channels have some sort of
roaring jammer on them. Both sides appear to be ratcheting up the rhetoric.
Good sigs and over jammer.
6739 USB, 09 AUG, 1700 UTC, UNID military station. Woman in English reading
phonetic alphabet with numbers and occasionally saying "stand by." Definite
US accent, and this is a known US military frequency. No IDs whatsoever.
6979, 09 AUG, 1630 UTC, UNID, Woman with mellow announcing over
subcontinental chanting/singing. Not sure of language. Didn't sound like
Arabic or Farsi, but heard "Iran" mentioned several times. Not // to any
Iranian MW outlet, and the transmitter kept faulting off. Station would
come back at lower power, and gradually increase its power until it faulted
off again. Checked all possible harmonics that were close in frequency such
as 1161 and 1395, but nothing there that matched. Put two 15dB attenuators
in line to make sure it was not a mixing product in my gear, but it was
still there and appropriately reduced. At 1643, two distinct separate
programs could be heard on the same audio, so possibly some sort of mixing
product at the transmitter(s) or an audio issue. Not // to the BBG local
powerhouse on 1296 either, so not a spur from there apparently. 1395 kHz
does have an Indian 20kW station on it in Bikaner. Did anyone else come
across this? Poor to good signals depending on what stage of power the
transmitter was at before faulting off.
8417.5, 09 AUG, 1532 UTC, CHINA, XSV Tianjin Radio, CW ID and SITOR bursts.
Weak but clear.
8888 USB, 09 AUG, 1513 UTC, RUSSIA, Novosibir VOLMET, Woman in Russian with
IDs and weather data for flights. Fairly strong signal at this time.
