with central Asian language and many mentions of Iran. Last night's amazing trans-Polar reception continues this morning!. 1548 KUWAIT Radio Sawa, Jan 1 1922 - Armchair copy at very strong level, but there's someone else on the channel, and my guess is Grigoriopol, Moldova which occasionally comes up. PAL lists Bulgarian. Each goes up and down, so it's difficult to know who is dominating! Main transmitter is on 1548.008 while another is on 1547.901 creating a het. Actually, I can see 7 carriers at least, with the strongest to the weaker being: 1548.004, 1547.903, 1548.101, and 1547.981 and several weaker ones too. At 19:30 there was a weak IS for Mayak. No idea from where. Perhaps Moldova? Very fascinating frequency for sure!. 1593 KUWAIT Radio Free Iraq, Jan 1 1925 - PAL lists this service from the 150 kW transmitter in Kuwait City. Non-stop Arabic music at fair level makes this a tentative logging. 1611 VATICAN Radio Vaticana, Jan 1 1916 - Good level and excellent modulation of Vatican Radio. PAL lists Romanian at this time. As seems characteristic of the Europeans today, they'll be there at very good level, then fade to oblivion, and then return. 972 GERMANY NDR Info, Hamburg, Dec 30 2202 - Tentative logging on this one. Before the TOH, I was hearing a Slavic language, sometimes at fair level. At the TOH was English, announcing 22:00 Universal Time and into English. Seems to best fit NDR according to the EMWG. Only 2:00 pm local on the west coast. Farda is still audible with occasional peaks to good on 1575. 1539 UAE VOA Radio Aap Ki Dunyaa, Dec 30 1624 - Absolutely armchair copy with Indian type music, presumably with their Urdu program. Best ever heard here! Still there at great level at 17:10 recheck, but mixing with CNR1, which should be off at 17:35. 1548 SRI LANKA Deutsche Welle, Dec 30 1714 - A very interesting channel. Often excellent levels in German, with DW Europa ID at 17:15. Earlier, around 16:20, I was hearing a cochannel which sounded Asian, perhaps Iran? English between 16:00 and 17:00 noted. 720 KOREA D.P.R. KCBS, Dec 31 1504 - A jumble on this frequency. Tuned in at 14:57 to hear a rumble of stations. Then, the well-known Voice of Korea IS began and continued through until the TOH, and then off. The het (from slightly off NK) left, leaving a couple of domestic stations. One played non-stop Christmas carols, plus another domestic. A tough one. I'm suspecting KOTZ was one of the two. 882 SRI LANKA TWR Sri Lanka, Dec 31 1656 - A fascinating channel for sure. Several co-channels with South Asian sounding talk and male vocal. Most definitely TWR Sri Lanka, as they went into English at 17:00 without an IS, but south Asian accented English with greetings. Several transmitters noted, and this one seems to be on 882.02 according to the Perseus spectrum display. 1323 GERMANY Voice of Russia World Service, Dec 31 0613 - English programming at occasionally good/very good level, but mostly fair to good. Generally a better evening than yesterday which was rather mediocre for trans-Arctic DX to Europe. Still, not as good as my first evening (UTC 29 file:///Z|/DOKUMENTATION-BULLETINS/WWDXD-BCDX/2010/BCDX946.TXT[11.06.2012 10:39:46]
Dec) which seemed best. 6030 ETHIOPIA Radio Oromiya, Jan 1 0324 - Thanks to a tip from Ron Howard in California, I decided to check for this rarely heard station and sure enough at 03:20 tune-in I was already hearing the repetative xylophone-like instrument. This continued to 03:29:30 when there was an announcement in possible French. I don't have access to my home resources, and am not sure whether I have the proper station ID and location. Please confirm or clarify! Very weak, but no sign of Marti or the jammer at my location! Nice ID and very decent reception at 04:00. Whew, what a night!!!. 1566 KOREA Rep. HLAZ, Dec 29 1757 - Very good reception with Russian religious sermon. ID given as Radio Theo at 17:59. Mentioned the South Korean transmitter on 1566. Transmitter cut at 17:59:30. Weaker time pips at 18:00 followed by English, and then ?CC translation. Then, Yankee Doodle. English lesson, as they mentioned, 'today we are going to talk about the problem of pollution'. Suddenly improved markedly by 18:02. Not listed in the most recent PAL. I'm assuming that this is still HLAZ, but I'm not 100% sure. Not a religious program at all. More akin to VOA!. 4850 UNID unid, Dec 29 1735 - Big open carrier first noted last night, and still there now. No idea who this may be. Continues there on the 30th. 4949.79 ANGOLA Radio Nacional, Dec 29 1736 - Presumed logging, as there are 2 stations cochannel with het. The 4950 is presumably AIR Srinigar. Too weak to make much out. Threshold audio only. 7580 EGYPT Radio Cairo, Dec 29 2354 - Very good reception with Arabic male vocal. Rather good modulation for a change! At 00:12 noted an Arabic language lesson, and yes, the modulation could be a bit better!. 15215 LIBYA Voice of Africa, Dec 29 1707 - Very good reception with French program, followed by an African song with 'Africa, Africa, Africa' noted in the French song. I might have thought that it sounded rather Caribbean! Parallel 11965 only poor. 2368.48 AUSTRALIA Radio Symban, Dec 30 1455 - Snippets of audio heard this morning. Also checked for the other reported private SW station on 2355. My Perseus SDR shows a very faint tracing on the waterfall, but that's all. No where close to audio. Nothing at all on 3210. Definite audio but much weaker than in August, when rechecked at 15:39. 3960 LITHUANIA VOIRI, Dec 30 1517 - Fair reception with clearly Russian talk, making this from Lithuania. Also another transmitter on 3959.768 which may be North Korea. 5050 CHINA Beibu Bay Radio, Dec 30 1522 - Excellent reception with Chinese duet. Then lots of Vietnamese talk. No English ID heard as was observed recently, at 15:30. AIR presumably barely audible cochannel. 6095 CHINA CNR 1, Dec 30 1933 - On yet another Chinese attempt at jamming RFA, I hear multiple, slightly out of phase transmitters extremely strong over just barely audible RFA. Carrying CNR1 in the clear. 7100 KOREA D.P.R. Voice of Korea, Dec 30 1837 - Armchair level with French language programming. Excellent accent too. Difficult to hear any file:///Z|/DOKUMENTATION-BULLETINS/WWDXD-BCDX/2010/BCDX946.TXT[11.06.2012 10:39:46]
