[HCDX] Log Report for Al Muick
QTH: Pattaya, Thailand
RX: WinRadio G303e
ANT: 20m longwire
6165, TCHAD, 11 June, 1810 UTC, RN Tchadienne, with shouted
announcements in French by male announcer into a five minute drum solo.
Station ID by a woman at 1815, then into talk show with a man in both
French and some Arabic. Seemed to have some vernacular programming
mixed in, although I will admit that my French is execrable. Very good
signal level with some fluttery fades.
9559.79, ETHIOPIA, 11 June, 1713 UTC, Radio Ethiopia external service in
French with lots of African drum music and male vocals and occasional
French announcements. Good signals with slight fade. Apparently
slightly off frequency.
9835, MALAYSIA, 11 June 2011, 1642 UTC, RM Sarawak FM, heard with
call-in show into time pips and full ID in Bahasa Malaysia as news on
the hour. Fair signals and regular fades, so presume I'm catching the
fringe of the signal as it skips over me. Pretty much alone on the freq.
My Afghanistan contract is finally finished after three years (!) and I
am taking a few well-deserved months off. I have had no time for DX'ing
since shortly after New Year, and only have the job to blame for that.
Pattaya is normally an extremely noisy environment, but I managed to
score an apartment on the 11th floor of the View Talay VI building in
Central Pattaya. The noise level is quite tolerable, even if my antenna
is of somewhat limited length.
Mediumwave is suffering a lot of noise, so until I resolve that issue,
there won't be any DX on there!
I am eyeballing a tall tree in the adjacent vacant lot as an anchor
point for a longer antenna, but don't want any kind of trouble, so I
think I'll make a few discrete inquiries first! ;-)
Hope everyone is well.
