SW40 - Dipoles and Longwire
------- Australia -------------
** ARGENTINA
11710.48 RAE, 0259, Interval signal, into French with ID by a man. Only
readable in USB, with threshold station on nominal. 22 April. (David
Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010,
Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker.
Also 100m noise-reducing aerial and 50m dipole.)
** BAHRAIN
6010 Radio Bahrain, English, 2107, with 9745 coming in so well
(reference following log), I took a chance this would also be audible.
Sure enough, at fair level with easy pop music and woman announcer,
mention of 96.5 FM. Rapidly fading with sunrise. Best in USB to escape
6105 slop. (Not to confuse, unlike 9745, which was in USB, this freq was
in AM mode, I used USB only to escape lowside splatter.) 23 April.
(David Sharp, NSW Australia.)
9745 USB Radio Bahrain, Arabic, 2040, surprisingly good with classical
Arabic music, ID by woman, then into conversation by man and women,
between music selections. Into ads or similar in lead-up to 2100 news,
which was read by a man. About the best I have ever heard this. 23
April. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5,
ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000
speaker. Also 100m noise-reducing aerial and 50m dipole.)
** CANADA
14670 CHU, 1246, running carrier+ USB, Time check by man in English,
then repeated in French. This is only the second time I have heard this
frequency (as opposed to 3330, and to a lesser degree 7850, which
generally prove more reliable). 22 April. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950,
NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026,
MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker. Also 100m noise-reducing
aerial and 50m dipole.)
** COLOMBIA
5909.92 Alcaravan Radio, 0717, Spanish, nice ballad, into talk by a man
with ID, sounded like a live announcement and not "canned" comments (as
with an automated format). Fair and improving. 22 April. (David Sharp,
NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave
599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ
959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker. Also 100m noise-reducing aerial
and 50m dipole.)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA
15190 Radio Africa, 0628, end of the "Zion Fellowship International"
program, with USA contact info. Brief dead air, then in to "Jack Van
Impe Ministeries", which proclaimed the European Union, the "Third World
Empire." Presumed, no ID, but don't know who else this would be. Very
strong signal, but overmodulated. 23 April. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950,
NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026,
MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker. Also 100m noise-reducing
aerial and 50m dipole.)
** GUINEA
7125 RTVG, 0802, threshold with French talk (news?) by a man, only
copyable when the hams weren't tuning-up their rigs. 22 April. (David
Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010,
Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker.
Also 100m noise-reducing aerial and 50m dipole.)
** LAOS
6130 Lao National Radio, 1330, nice local music, with occasional talk by
a woman. Not holding up well, with spatter from powerhouse on 6125, but
readable in USB. Doesn't sound anything close to listed 50kW. Sam Neua
(4413v) and the International Service (7145) remain untraced. 22 April.
(David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010,
Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker.
Also 100m noise-reducing aerial and 50m dipole.)
** MYANMAR
5770.027 Defence Forces Radio, 1315, news bulletin or similar, with
alternating talk between a man and a woman, to past 1320. Occasionally
bothered by nearby UTE, but otherwise good. 22 April. (David Sharp, NSW:
FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ
1026, MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker. Also 100m
noise-reducing aerial and 50m dipole.)
** ANTARCTICA
15476 LRA-36, 1837, program of mostly Spanish ballads, no announcements
heard (if given), due to slow and deep fades. Would have stayed with it
but had an early start at work. Hope to try for this again, as it's a
very difficult catch. 19 April. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8,
ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C,
Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker. Also 100m noise-reducing aerial and 50m
dipole.)
** AUSTRALIA
5050.06 "Aussie Radio" Sydney, 1027, woman with "Money Making Moment"
then back to nostalgia format of mainly 40's, 50's and 60's era music.
Powerhouse signal here (as always), pegging the S-Meters on both the
NRD-535D and FT-950. And, for what it's worth, the signal "registers" as
62 dBu on my Tecsun (as compared to 84 dBu for the local 10kW MW
station, which is less than 2 kilometers from my house). 20 April.
(David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010,
Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker.
Also 100m noise-reducing aerial and 50m dipole.)
** BOLIVIA
6134.82 Radio Santa Cruz, 1035, Spanish, banter between two men, with
occasional comments by woman. Audio cut at 1037, only to return at 1040
with mensajes by a man. Fair, and best in LSB to escape het, high side.
20 April. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5,
ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000
speaker. Also 100m noise-reducing aerial and 50m dipole.)
** CONGO
6115 Radio Congo, 1824, usual news magazine program, hosted by a woman.
Signal strength remains fair-good, but the modulation continues to drop,
making copy difficult. 20 April. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8,
ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C,
Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker. Also 100m noise-reducing aerial and 50m
dipole.)
** DEMOCRATIC CONGO
5066.35 Radio CANDIP, 1807, French, weak with lengthy news by a man,
mentions of "Bunia" and "Kinshasa" with occasional Afro music bridges.
Usual CW QRM lowside absent today. 20 April. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950,
NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026,
MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker. Also 100m noise-reducing
aerial and 50m dipole.)
** ECUADOR
4814.94 R. Buen Pastor, 1140, fair, presumed the one with Spanish man
with Bible readings. Did not hear an ID. 20 April. (David Sharp, NSW:
FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ
1026, MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker. Also 100m
noise-reducing aerial and 50m dipole.)
** GUATEMALA
4055 Radio Verdad, 1104, Spanish, listened through 'till 1130, and heard
a program of choral and traditional hymns, with occasional talk by
Spanish man. Best-ever reception, so the higher power and new freq
helps. Previous freq was subject to Royal Flying Doctor communications.
20 April. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5,
ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000
speaker. Also 100m noise-reducing aerial and 50m dipole.)
** OMAN
15140 Sultanate of Oman Radio, English, 1435, world news by a man,
wrap-up with repeat of headlines, ID and mention of 90.4 FM. Fair. 19
April. (David Sharp, NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5,
ICF-2010, Timewave 599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000
speaker. Also 100m noise-reducing aerial and 50m dipole.)
** PERU
4789.93 Radio Vision, 1019, Spanish, sermon by a man with response from
congregation, good signal but some CODAR QRM. 20 April. (David Sharp,
NSW: FT-950, NRD-535D, R8, ICF-SW7600GR, PR-D5, ICF-2010, Timewave
599zx, MFJ 1026, MFJ 959C, Palstar MW550P, SP-2000 speaker. Also 100m
