[HCDX] Logs for Al Muick
QTH: Kabul, Afghanistan
RX: WinRadio G303e
ANT: 100m Longwire/Randomwire
ACC: Palstar MW-550P Mediumwave Preselector
5130 15 OCT, 1718 UTC, UNID, poss. Radio Maranatha, Kyrgyzstan. Heard
with long winded religious-sounding soft talk by a man. The language was
not oriental, and sounded more like Farsi. At 1730, short pieces of gospel
music were played, done by a mixed chorus to guitar and piano. After that
there were two long selections done by a woman and then dead air after 1743.
AOKI lists this from 1457 to 1743. I guess they just keep the carrier on
or make adjustments, etc. Perfect signal with no QRM except for about 30
seconds at 1730 due to 4-level FSK bursting about 3 kHz down. With this
signal strength it should easily make it to Europe and Asia.
Had a really bad power line noise since yesterday which finally went away
this afternoon. I spent most of my free day today watching my favorite
horror movies, and cleaning my side arm. Hope everyone else's DX day went
better than this!
73s
