[HCDX] Logs for Al Muick - 11 AUG
QTH: Kabul, Afghanistan
RX: WinRadio G303e
ANT: 100m Longwire/Randomwire
ACC: Palstar MW-550P Mediumwave Preselector
1152 11 AUG, 2212 UTC, PAKISTAN, PBC Rawalpindi, on outside of normal hours
(per WRTH) with many IDs in English by man and woman announcers into a
call-in show in Urdu, with many mentions of broadcasting. Possibly on
outside of normal hours because of Ramadan or the disastrous flooding. They
are only about 230 miles away from me. Signals were very strong with an
occasional fade and no interference.
4319 USB 11 AUG, 2049 UTC, BIOT Diego Garcia, AFRTS with PSA's and money
advice show into NPR's All Things Considered and news. If I ever get lonely
for US-style talk radio, this is the station I would tune into. Good
signals with some RTTY QRM from 2.5kHz higher.
5050 11 AUG, 2300 UTC CHINA, Beibu Bay Radio, time pips into announcements
in Vietnamese (according to sked) by woman and man. Fair signal level with
moderate fading.
6297 11 AUG, 2024 UTC, CLAN (ALGERIA), Radio Nacional de la RASD, heard in
Arabic and dramatic music. Supposedly only 20kW on their shortwave
frequency, so not so bad with only fair reception. No QRM and only summer
static.
7465 11 AUG, 1906 UTC, ALBANIA, Radio Tirana in French with news items and
commentary. Transmission is aimed at Western Europe but heard here in Kabul
with S4 signals and no QRM but moderate fading. Modulation did appear to be
a little low, however.
7530 11 AUG, 1859 UTC, CLAN (ARMENIA), Radio Free North Korea, early sign
on with military march and then news points read by a man in Korean with
brief music bed interludes between items. Very good signals, with jammer
(North Korean?) barely heard underneath. Has anyone ever received a QSL
from these fellows?

"By heeding the artist, man can arouse himself from his present waking
sleep and anticipate the inevitable changes which destiny brings and
so pass consciously, confidently and relatively unscathed into the
future."
- D.J. Richards (Literary critic) 1962.
