[HCDX] Log Report for Al Muick
QTH: Whitehall, Pennsylvania, USA
RX: WinRadio G303e
ANT: Wellbrook ALA1530P active loop
530 CANADA, CIAO Toronto, in Hindi with subcontinental music and
commercial announcements with telephone numbers given in English. Heard
at 1006 UTC on 12 December 2011. SINPO 42433 with bad QRM from
Enciclopedia Cuba, co-channel.
8422 GUAM, US Coast Guard Station NRV heard at 1317 UTC on 12 December
2011 with SITOR bursts and morse IDs as NRV. SINPO 34543
9280 TAIWAN, WYFR relay in special English with sermon. Heard at 1249
UTC on December 12, 2011. SINPO 35433. I can almost imagine the guy at
the pulpit waiving his arms very slowly and slow-motion thumping the
good book as he speaks this. "Special English" seems to have all but
disappeared from the bands.
9335 KOREA, NORTH, Voice of Korea KCBS, heard at 1235 UTC on December
12 2011. Very irate sounding woman (or higher pitched man) ranting away
in Korean. Almost laughable. Also played glorious march music for the
enjoyment of the listening audience. SINPO 45433. This is supposedly
aimed at Latin America, which begs the question of how many people in
Latin America actually speak Korean and listen to this? For a nation
that is so broke, they sure expend a lot of money sending their
propaganda to an area where the language is probably not understood.
9350 TAJIKISTAN, Radio Free Asia, heard at 1210 UTC on December 12 2011
with Tibetan talk and RFA jingles. SINPO 25432
11890 SINGAPORE, BBC Relay heard at 1448 UTC on December 12 2011 with
English talk and commentary. SINPO 35423. Very fluttery propagation.
17745 UNITED KINGDOM, Sudan Radio service via Woofferton (per EIBE
listing in 11 December CSV table) with Arabic talk and African music, at
1620 UTC on December 12 2011. SINPO 45433.
21495 FRENCH GUIANA, TDF DRM test heard at 1729 UTC on 12 December 2011
with banging sigs at 20db SNR and gone suddently at 1736, with possible
antenna switch or tx off. Briefly re-appeared at only 8dB SNR and then
gone altogether. Requesting reports to
engenharia(dot)radio(at)ebc(dot)com(dot)br and
engenharia(at)ebc(dot)com(dot)br via the infor bar scroll.
I am *very* impressed with the noise cancelling and properties and
superior performance of the Wellbrook loop which I just installed
yesterday evening! I can now hear things that were in the dirt and
noise with my previous longwire.
I am hearing a lot of NDBs as well and plan to spend a lot more time on
the tropical, mediumwave and LF bands now.
