[HCDX] 18-25 Sept. Loggings

["Dave Valko" <djvalko@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

TAJIKISTAN   7480.005   Open R. for North Korea (tent.)    2151 definite tlk by W anncr.  Too weak to tell the lang. Slop QRM from 7490 WBCQ.  VOA Kuwait signal popped on here at 2158:45, but since this signal was 5 hz above, I could see it go off at 2200:07 as scheduled.  Other Open R. for North Korea xmsns are blocked here.  I think this will get better and better toward the solstice.  (18 Sept.)

UNID.   5965 UNID.   Had a signal here at 0932.  Couldn't really get any definite audio but there was something here.  I didn't stay with it long as I went on to check 6050 HCJB.  (19 Sept.)

ECUADOR   6050   HCJB   Again noted that there was only a carrier with the "clicking" effect today at 0932.  (19 Sept.)

BRAZIL   4874v   R. Difusoras Roraima   0935 playing the "Bon Dia" song, and ZY Pops w/M anncr DJ, taking phone calls.  Rooster crowing during song.  Really drifting around fast between 4873-4875.  Sometimes as much as 1 khz in 30 seconds!!  Impossible to keep tuned.  (19 Sept.)

BRAZIL   4865.02   R. Verdes Florestas   Caught middle of canned full ID at t/in at 0936.  Rel. pgm w/M host and rel. choral mx.  Full ID again at 0954 at end of pgm.  Nice clear strong signal with the UTE off.  On earlier than yesterday morning.  (19 Sept.)

PERU   4747.09  R. Huanta Dos Mil   Beautiful fast slurred "R. Huanta Dos Mil" by M at 0919:54 as the live studio DJ ended an anmnt and went into a campo song.  Of course I wasn't recording unfortunately.  So they really are still using the Huanta Dos Mil IDs.  Fair signal but noisy.  (19 Sept.)

PERU   4747.09   R. Huanta Dos Mil   1013 very nice pleasant slow Pop ID jingle song by W w/ "R. Huanta, Huanta Dos Mil" in chorus to end a very long ad/promo block then into OA campo mx and stopped at 1015 for live M DJ including ID at 1015:55.  Mixes SP and pres. Aymara.  Many PSAs then.  Nice campo mx at 1020.  Accurate (barely) TC by M during song, then live M and cont. song briefly, and 2 ads at 1022.  Abt 85% readable at this time.  1023:10 nice canned ID w/mx.  Couple songs to 1031 w/long tlk by M but sudden fading quickly though.  Seems to come on the air at 1000v w/lower power and then brings it up after about 15 minutes.  Although that could be a result of propagation too.  (20 Sept.)

BRAZIL   4874   R. Difusoras Roraima   Noticed it went off the air at least once at 1013.  (20 Sept.)

BRAZIL   4865   R. Verdes Florestas   1003 into nx pgm "Journal Difusora" w/M anchor.  Good and fairly clear.  Didn't have the full canned ID over ToH.  (20 Sept.)

UNID.   4709.99   UNID.   Getting some audio before 1000 but nothing substantial until the BoH. 1026 short canned anmnt by M but just not strong enough to copy.  Then stronger w/usual Ranchera mx.  Peaked around 1028 and then faded.  So another teaser.  (20 Sept.)

MONGOLIA   7469.875   R. Free Asia   1114 found a nasty het.  At first I thought R. Free Asia was the one on 7470, but it turned out to be the CNR1 jammer, and RFA was actually on 7469.875.  CNR1 was the stronger and //9845.  (20 Sept.)

MYANMAR   5985.78   R. Myanmar   Popped on at 1131:21 w/tlk by M already in progress.  (20 Sept.)

YAKUTSK   7230   R. Rossii   0809 ID by M in RS, brief anmnt by W, short period of traditional RS song w/W vcl, then discourse between diff. M and W.  Fair and //7320 (Magadan) which was much better.  Yakutsk still well in daylight.  (21 Sept.)

INDONESIA   7289.93   RRI Nabire (pres.)   0802 carrier showing up.  0817 could just barely hear the percussion in the mx.  Right at audio threshold.  0822-0825 kind of sounded like a speech.  0838 W anncr and then mx.  Went off sometime between 0839-0844.  (21 Sept.)

ECUADOR   6050   HCJB   0833 got their audio fixed and was hearing opening w/M anncr over instru. mx.  Fair but QRM from Marti jammer.  (21 Sept.)

SOUTH KOREA   7275   KBS World   0854 tlk by W in JP over instru. mx.  //6155 which was better.  (21 Sept.)

CANADA   6160   CKZU/CKZN   0903 getting an echo of the CBC Radio One nx at this time, obviously due to both stns coming in.  Broke away to own pgming at 0904.  CKZN has now gone below CKZU.  CKZN 6159.964, and CKZU 6159.974.  Just 10 hz separates them and close enough not to hear a het.  While doing a screenshot, noticed CKZN is drifting by a couple hz.  (21 Sept.)

PAPUA NEW GUINEA   7324.94   Wantok R. Light   Signal on the air at 0925:00.  Appeared they didn't put the audio up enough as it was barely audible after 0932-0935+.  (21 Sept.)

UNID.   4985.013   R. Brasil Central??   0935 found the double UTE here had gone off (it was there earlier) leaving a signal in the clear.  Sounded like mx at 0937 but already too weak.  (21 Sept.)

BRAZIL   3375.07   R. Municipal   0959-1008+ ZY Pops w/occas. tlk by M anncr in PT.  Strong enough to tell it was PT, but not strong enough to ID.  There was a slight buzz to the signal.  Audio sounds like that of a Pirate w/homebuilt xmtr.  (21 Sept.)

PIRATE (EUROPE)   6209.95    R. Borderhunter   End of song and ID/song anmnt at 0023 t/in. Songs "Odia", "Brown-Eyed Girl", "Black Magic Woman", "Nights in White Satin", " 0054:40 song anmnt.  0100 anmnt said was midnight 3 hours ago, 0101:25 short ID.  0102:45 song anmnt, ID.  (22 Sept.)

AZERBAIJAN   9677.58   V.O. Talishistan (probable)   0116-0130+ Just getting a weak carrier but definitely there.  QRM from both sides; 9675 CRI in EG, and 9680 R. Free Asia.  Went off at 0147:52, so never did get anything more.  (22 Sept.)

INDONESIA   7289.94   RRI Nabire   0852 Koran, right on cue as the Sun was setting there.  0901:50 somber M w/outro, then back to studio M anncr DJ briefly, and then 4 light Pop-like songs in row (0902, 0906, 0910, 0913).  Some Ham left his xmtr on and ran across the freq twice at 0915.  Finally, M DJ returned at 0917:14.  Just a tad too weak to copy though.  0919 back to soft mx.  Went off in mid-song at 0923:07.   Never really did improve in the half hour from 0852 t/in.  Wantok came on at 0924:55.  (22 Sept.)

BRAZIL   4877.6   R. Difusora Roraima   0937 end of tlk and into ZY Pops. The signal just looks like a blob when zoomed in on the Perseus.  (22 Sept.)

INDONESIA   9526.89   V.O. Indonesia   Already on w/pgming at 0947.  Kind of sounded like EG but too weak.  (22 Sept.)

PERU   4747.09   R. Huanta Dos Mil   Played the "R. Huanta, Haunta Dos Mil" them song jingle at 1014 ending the usual long ad block from 1000.  (22 Sept.)

VIETNAM   7220.55   V.O. Vietnam   Noticed a signal here going off and on a number of times around 1053. Then noted NA-like fanfare at 1057.  Sounded familiar.  Couldn't match it up with recording on Interval Signals Online but confirmed tnx to Ron Howard.  North Korea was playing their NA at 1101 on 7220.  Blasted by Hams on 7225.  (22 Sept.)

INDONESIA   4749.95   RRI Makassar   1117 Chinese-like vcl song, then ad/promo block, first by M w/ment of Indonesia.  Ment of Jakarta.  Back to mx at 1123.  Getting a little distortion, possibly caused by the 4750 Chinese. Best signal yet.  (22 Sept.)

MICRONESIA   4755.55   The Cross   1130 canned ID and website by girl between Christian Pop songs.  Fair but was quite good 15 min. earlier.  (22 Sept.)

TAJIKISTAN   7480   Open R. for North Korea??   *2100-2200* Very weak at s/on, but took a big jump sometime between 2130 and 2140 and was right at audio threshold for the remainder.  VOA came on at 2159.  Way too much WBCQ splatter QRM.  (22 Sept.)

INDONESIA   9680.05    RRI Jakarta   2313 definite tlk by M and W. Nx??  Into mx at 2316. 2323 mx sounding AR.  Too much slop QRM from 9685.  Clear reception would have yielded a lot more.  (22 Sept.)

BRAZIL   4881.7v   R. Difusora Roraima   0021 horribly distorted signal but could barely make out PT by M.  Abt 5 khz higher than what it was this morning.  (23 Sept.)

BRAZIL   4884.8v   R. Difusoras Roraima   Extremely distorted and drifting all the way up here at 1008, nearly covering R. Clube do Para.  8 khz higher than where it was yesterday at this time.  (23 Sept.)

UNID.   4826.606.   R. Sicuani??   A signal showing up here at 1017.  Too weak and way too much WWCR slop QRM here to get any audio.  Was drifting back and forth a little.  (23 Sept.)

PERU   4824.4   LV de la Selva (pres.)   Big signal just came on at 1019.  Definitely a M anncr, brief mx bridge, and now W at 1022:30-1025.  Clear flutes and W anncr in SP.  First time I've heard audio here in ages.  Can only hear the audio when its peaking and minimal to no CODAR or WWCR QRM.  Would be pretty lucky to get an ID at the same time it was peaking.  (23 Sept.)

SOUTH KOREA   6550   MND R.   1038 very nice clear signal w/M speaking in KR.  Went into "For Love" at 1054:30.  (23 Sept.)

INDONESIA   4869.92   RRI Wamena   1007 end of nx read by studio M anncr, usual post-nx routine w/RRI ID/promo over "Eye of the Tiger", then M mixed w/mx, and back to mx pgm w/song sounding like Englebert Humperdinct.  1125 ment of the pgm and site ID by studio M DJ.  Really nice signal this morning but the annoying pulsing UTE was right below.  (23 Sept.)

TAIWAN   15374.985   Fu Hsing BS (pres.)   1132 found here finally after several weeks.  W tlking, can't get the lang.  1138 MOR instru. mx.  1140 W briefly in what sounded like CH, then another instru. very clear 1140-1145.  Soft mx w/W voice-over 1146-1147.  1148-1150 soft flute mx.  1150 W anncr again.  1200 W anncr once more at ToH, then tlk by M.  Really faded and barely audible by s/off.  I got to the website and tried bringing up the webstreaming audio but it wouldn't work.  (23 Sept.)

SRI LANKA   11905   SLBC   Nothing but an OC here at 0137.  Stayed with it for a few minutes and nothing.  (24 Sept.)

BOLIVIA   5952.44   R. Pio Doce   0955 nice signal w/tlk by W in Quechua, then ad/promo block mostly in SP w/at least one ment of Pio Doce.  One w/wind blowing SFX.  1001 choral NA and voice tlk by M w/nice ID and ment of "comunicacion Pio Doce".  Checked the webstream and it was 7 seconds behind.  Clearest I've heard a while.  (24 Sept.)

CLANDESTINE   6003   Echo of Hope   1001 alternating tlk by M and W in KR. W mixed w/mx later at 1015, then tlk by M anncr.  Jamming oddly reduced at 1000 allowing this to be audible.  However the jamming was still there.  (24 Sept.)

PERU   4747.09   R. Huanta Dos Mil   1018 really nice signal but a CODAR was right on top.  Nice ID by live M DJ as soon as I retuned at 1020.  (24 Sept.)

PERU   5039.18   R. Libertad de Junin   1028 suddenly got a lot stronger than 10 min. earlier.  Beautiful camposina mx, then long canned anmnt starting w/haunting flute at 1029 that sounded like a pgm intro "Con Grau ?? Nacional", and followed by the morning M DJ w/ment of possibly his name Barrio Sanchez Cristobal, and back to mx at 1031, but had faded again.  There was an accurate TC just as the canned anmnt started.  (24 Sept.)

TAIWAN   9745   V.O. Han (pres.)   1111 tlk by W but can't confirm the lang.  Han has been off for a while and just returned the other day.  First time to hear audio here in quite some time.  (24 Sept.)

MALAYSIA   7295   Traxx FM   1118-1124 having technical difficulties continually going off and on and with some distorted audio.  Usual Pop mx w/M anncr DJ. Fair.  (24 Sept.)

MYANMAR   5985.76   Myanmar R.   Popped on at 1136:12 w/tlk by M and W already in progress.  5915 was on early this morning at 1110.  (24 Sept.)

UNID.   4760.008   AIR Port Blair??   Getting a signal here at 1142.  Definitely M anncr at 1144, and mx, but its right a threshold.  (24 Sept.)

ZAMBIA   5915   R. One/ZNBC   2149 studio M anncr tlking w/M phone caller.  Poss. ments of Congo.  Then M anncr mixed Afro Hi-life mx at 2153.  Abruptly switched gears and went into a slower MOR song at 2154.  M returned at 2156 in vern. w/ment of Congo and information.  2158 slow African choral song, and immediately into choral version of the Zambian NA from 2200-2202, and signal off the air at 2202:30.  Very fady.  Too bad they don't have EG at this time.  (24 Sept.)

CHAD   6164.94   Rdif. Tchadienne/R. Djamena   0007 found a big signal here w/Afro Hi-life mx.  0015 abt 45 seconds of deadair between songs.  Into a Rom. song then.  More Hi-life and even one Reggae song.  Audio during one song at 0048 was very low.  Could hear M tlking at 0112 under Cuba.  Incredibly strong sometime peaking to S9+20!!  Oddly on late or all night.  Cuba came on at 0059:22, but it was still easily audible under the OC.  (25 Sept.)

SOUTH AFRICA   3320   R. Sonder Grense   0115 Pop mx at t/in. 0117-0129 long tlk by M anncr in Afrikaans.  4 Pop songs in a row. 0143 sev. canned anmnts w/ment of a website and September.  0144 into "Super Trouper" by Abba starting another block of songs to 0202.  Then what sounded like the nx by deep-voiced M.  Alas no official ID.  (25 Sept.)

BANGLADESH   15105   Bangladesh Betar   1232-1237 EG nat. and internat. nx by W, subcont. mx bridge, then cmntry by M to 1244.  Subcont. mx and canned voice over ID anmnt by deep-voice M as "This is the external service of Bangladesh Betar".  1244-1249 W anncr w/ID and sports intro and immediately into sports nx.  1249 M anncr w/song anmnt and into subcont. mx.  A bit of hum to the signal and stronger when no audio present.  Not the best ever but a nice signal and always a pleasure to hear them.  (25 Sept.)

GERMANY   15350   Athmeeya Yatra   1258 M w/contact info in apparent Punjabi w/IDs, e-mail, and mailing addr. and ment of "radio program", then into next pgm at 1300.  Fair.  (25 Sept.)

TAIWAN   15265.15   R. Taiwan Int.   OC here way off freq as early as 1250.  1300 CNR suddenly came on jamming the signal.  Could just barely hear M anncr at 1301 briefly when a very short break in the CNR audio.  Couldn't notch out CNR enough.  (25 Sept.)

PAKISTAN   15730   R. Pakistan   1250-1258 Pop-like mx, 1258 M anncr in CH including website, then usual choral NA to 1301:00, and off at 1301:37.  Weak but clear.  (25 Sept.)
