[HCDX] Fri Morn Dx

["Charles Bolland" <ka4prf@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Solomon Islands, 5020, SIBC, 0850-0925,  Initially
noted a female in comments as
she continues talking until 0958.  Then a male
comments.  Signal was poor.
(Chuck Bolland, April 2, 2010)
 
Peru, 4790, Radio Vision, 0900-0910, Noted regular
program for a moment
after tuning in, but by 0905, the format turned to
religious.  Signal was 
better than usual suggesting that they may have worked
on the transmitter?
They seemed to be off the air last week, so that might
be a possiblity that they
did something to the transmitter.  Signal was fair.

Peru, 6019.30, Radio Victoria, 0930-0945,  Noted a male
in religious sermon. 
This is the usual fellow who puts a lot of emotion into
his preaching.  I like
to call him the "weeping preacher".  Anyway, signal is
best heard in LSB
mode because Australia is on the upper side of the
signal and can't be 
notched out with the WinRadio G305e, because there is
no notch!.

Bolivia, 6134.80, Radio Santa Cruz, 0905-1000,  At tune
in, noted a couple
of females in conversation.   Found this using the
WinRadio G305e, but 
had to switch to a real receiver to hear the audio.
The WR just doesn't fill
the bill for DXing.  There's never enough audio
available, eventhough the 
signal can be seen in the spectrum display.  Getting
back to the logging,
noted a male joining in with the ladies as the time
passed.  Signal was 
fair on the Watkins Johnson HF1000.  Best heard in LSB.
Rechecked
this at 1028, and noted that the signal had improved to
a fair to good even
using the WR.  Noted a female and male in Spanish
language comments
then.  Chuck Bolland, April 2, 2010)
 
Bolivia, 3310, Radio Mosoj Chaski, 0955-1010,  Setting
on this for a 
few minutes before any audio is heard; however, at
1003, noted a female
talking in Spanish briefly.  This occurs only for a
minute.   The comments
keep dropping out. Music at 1006.    Signal was
threshold.  (Chuck Bolland, April 2, 2010)
 
Papua New Guinea, 3315, 1007-1020,  Noted a person in
Pidgin language comments.
This is another threshold signal where the audio is
just barely audiable.  (Chuck
Bolland, April 2, 2010)
 
 
Papua New Guinea, 3325, Radio Buka, 1010-1020,  Noted a
male in steady Pidgin
comments.  Signal was poor with tons of noise and
crashes.  (Chuck Bolland,
April 2, 2010)
 
 
Brazil, 3375.40, Radio Educadora, 1020-1030,   In here
with Bras Pop music,
followed with Brazilian language comments from a male.
Signal was poor to
fair.  (Chuck Bolland, April 2, 2010)
 
Indonesia, 9680, RRI Jakarta, 1037-1045,  Noted a male
in Indonesian comments
briefly, then into typical music.  Signal was good this
morning.  (Chuck Bolland,
April 2, 2010)
 
Indonesia, 9525.90, Voice of Indonesia, 1041-1050,  At
tune in, noted music, which
was not typical Indonesian type.  Between tunes, noted
a female in Indonesian(?) 
language comments.  According to the latest AOKI
database, English is scheduled
during this time period.  However, noted that ID's
given between tunes was 
in English.  Maybe they didn't have an English speaking
announcer for live comments?
Anyway, the signal was good this morning.  (Chuck
Bolland, April 2, 2010)
 
New Zealand, 9655, Radio New Zealand, 1120-1130,  Noted
a program of local news
and comments all in English.  Many mentions of
Wellington prior to ID.  "and that's
Radio New Zealand International's ....."  Signal was
Good.  Could not find this
listed in the WRTH or AOKI's database.  Even so, I
recall this being a long time 
frequency for RNZ.   (Chuck Bolland, April 2, 2010)
