[HCDX] 4-9 August Loggings and Observations

["Dave Valko" <djvalko@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

PERU   No sign of 4789.9 R. Vision this morning at 0845.  (4 August)



BOLIVIA   6134.83   R. Santa Cruz   Caught full canned s/on ID by M at 0848 as I tuned in, followed by the usual R. Santa Cruz theme song.  Very weak oddly enough.  MUF was down to 8 mhz though.  (4 August)



UNID. LA   4709.99   UNID.   Definitely M anncr at 0852.  Still not strong enough to get the lang.  0937 definite Ranchera song.  0941 M anncr.  A soft song, possibly a Ranchera at 0944:50.  0950 pretty fast Dance beat definitely not // to (the100kw Mexican) La Poderosa webstream.   0953 another Ranchera.  1004:00 canned anmnt by M in slight echo, then W anncr, and back to more Ranchera mx.  This has the "feel" of a harmonic.  (MP3 recording at  https://app.box.com/s/3viqdcqqfxt8zqs2kem8)  (4 August)



AUSTRALIA   4835   ABC Alice Springs   1010 audible and readable amid WWCR slop QRM.  Almost as strong as WWCR at 1024!!  Live Australian Football coverage perfectly readable.  Pacific reception better than usual.  (4 August)



PAPUA NEW GUINEA   3325   NBC Bougainville   1013 sounded like the nx by M w/actualities.  Possible ment of PNG and government.  Not //3385. Definitely in Tok Pisin.  Into mx at 1018.  Didn't hear or see any sign of Palangkaraya.  Only other PNGs noted were 3205, 3360, and 3365.  (4 August)



MALAYSIA   7295   Traxx FM   1034 Usual Pop and Dance mx pgming.  1045 longer anmnt by live studio M DJ ending w/ID.  Guns & Roses song.  1100 time ticks and nx by M starting w/headlines.  Peaked around 1048.  Best hrd in a while.  (4 August)



MYANMAR   7344.99   Thazin R.   Killer signal this morning at 1046 w/pleasant SE Asian Pops.  Didn't seem modulated up to 100% though.  Song at 1055 kind of sounded like "Romeo's Tune" by Steve Forbert.  (4 August)



MYANMAR   7200.09   Myanmar R.   1100 M anncr after Pop mx.  (4 August)



INDONESIA   7289.94   RRI Nabire (pres.) 0837 definite tlk by M.  Couldn't tell the lang though.  Went off at 0846.  Not quite strong enough but glad to hear something here again.  (5 August)



BRAZIL   4915.03   R. Daqui/Anhanguera   0857 long anmnt by M w/sev. ments of Anhanguera and mailing addr, then soft vcl song, and Ranchera-like song.  0903:15 canned Anhanguera ID by M, and another ZY Ranchera.  0906:10 full canned Anhanguera ID by M.  Then rel. pgm ending w/contact info and website.  Starting to fade by 0930.  Not one ment or ID of Daqui.  It actually looks like there is another signal here beside it, but is probably that most of the modulation is on the high side.  There was a het from another signal on 4914.94.  (MP3 recording at  https://app.box.com/s/zxbmo7gjcdptuze9o0fd)  (5 August)



PERU   No sign of 4789.9 R. Vision again.  (5 August)



PERU   4789.89   R. Vision   Carrier back on at 0837 but no audio to speak of at that time.  But did get a little extremely weak mx at 0851.  OA campo mx better at 0903.  (6 August)



BRAZIL   4914.99   R. Difusora Macapa   Ment of Macapa by live studio M anncr at 0953 during anmnt after ZY Pop song.  Nice ID by M over "Ave Maria" at 0955, then what sounded like inspirational tlk by W until Daqui/Anhanguera fired up at 0858:41.  It looks odd that both stns modulation is mostly on the high side.  Wonder if both are using the same type xmtr??  Very noisy conditions this morning.  (6 August)



BOLIVIA   3310   R. Mosoj Chaski   Wasn't there when at 0837 check but was there at 0903.  So must have changed their sign on to 0900 instead of 0830 as they were before they went off the air in July.  (6 August)



CHINA   11580   CNR1   1049 alternating CH tlk by M and W.  Fair signal and //9830 which was about 1/3 of a second behind oddly enough.  (8 August)



INDONESIA   9680.05   RRI Jakarta   Tuned in 5 min. too late but could barely see something on the freq at 2205.  I'm not 100% sure it was RRI.  Came back at 2235 and there was a plainly visible signal showing for at least the previous 8 minutes.  So either the original signal was something else and RRI popped on while I was away from the radio, or the original signal was indeed RRI and had faded up in dramatic fashion.  At 2235 it was just below audible level but getting close.  Unfortunately there's another signal just below splashing over.  Later at 2313, barely hrd mx, M anncr briefly, then more mx.  Just at audio threshold.  (8 August)



UNID.   9677.55   UNID   First observed at 2335 along with the carrier of RRI Jakarta on 9680.05.  Is strong enough but I'm not getting any audio.  From the looks of the waveform, it may be airing just a low 500 hz tone.  Not quite high enough to overcome the het between the 2 signals.  Getting splash QRM from 9675 CRI and 9680 R. Free Asia (Kuwait) 0100-0200.  Was quite strong and peaking around 0130, but QRMed.  Had faded after 0200 but still fairly strong.  Below audiable level by 0300.  Could barely make it out in the display at 0600, and gone at 0630.  No audio ever noted.  Fade out time seems it might very well be eastern Europe or western Asia, indicating possibly Talyshistan.  Then again it could be nothing at all!!  (8-9 August



TAIWAN   9734.863   R. Taiwan Int.   1017 getting blasted out by CNR1 on 9735.005.  (9 August)



CHINA   9744.998   V.O. Han (pres.)   1040 definitely soft Chinese-like mx. W anncr at 1043.  Teasing signal but just too weak.  (9 August)



MALAYSIA   6050.025   Asyik FM   Geting mx here mixing w/HCJB in tlk at 1054:15 and 1056:40.  Just far enough away to here a het between the two.  1102 sounded like W giving pres. nx while HCJB had M speaking.  Apparent end of nx at 1105:30, mx briefly, then W again.  (9 August)
