(Sei-ichi Hasegawa-JPN, dxld Aug 2) 14980 kHz, July 25 at 1900 UT, TWN, R Xi Wang Zhi Sheng, SOUND OF HOPE - talk, idioma similar mandarim, news (?) ate 1950 UT - 25322 (Sarmento Campos-BRA, radioescutas yg via dxld Aug 2) I've never heard anything but Firedrake all-music jamming on 14980. Your clip was certainly not FD. However, there's a good chance what you had was not a 100-watt Sound of Hope transmitter, but the ChiCom using hundred+ kW of CNR1 programming instead to jam SOH, which they sometimes do. Should seek // on numerous other CNR1 frequencies, preferably not used for jamming. (Glenn Hauser, dxld) And Sound of Hope is another interesting catch. Recently, to be more precise since last month, I have not heard any Firedrake jamming! That's weird and I don't know how to explain it. Crazy propagation? Before I start logging, I usually scan all the bands, manually, in 5 kHz steps, AM mode, filter wide, including non WARC bands. If I catch something strange, I switch to narrow filter, maybe SSB (ECSS), try both dipoles using a switch box, and then start investigation. And it was what happened with 6793 kHz and 14980 kHz. On 14980 kHz, my initial thought was a CRI or regional emission from China, and I have scanned 25 and 31 meters to check for parallel, and I found nothing similar, just the classical CRI emissions, nothing compared to this. A woman talking a lot - for a long time - is a little bit different (completely to be more precise) than regional programming of China (lots of music, changing patterns, and so). A German DXer who subscribes to my channel, has accessed the recording posted at Youtube, and commented he has already logged this emission. Of course I can not assure 100% that it was Sound of Hope, but probability is very high to match it. (Sarmento Campos-BRA, dxld July 28) CUBA 5055 very poor signal in Spanish, music mix, Aug 2 at 0527 UT. Soon realized it was leapfrog of Cuba 5025 over 5040 kHz, and then confirmed by // audio. This might explain some unID on 5055, if both the Cubans are strong. Also lower leapfrog would land on 5010 kHz, leading people to hypothesize Honduras, dream of Dominican Republic or even imagine Madagascar. So always check for Cuban parallels, the dirty birds. (Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, dxld Aug 3) see also under BRAZIL CYPRUS If you please, I am looking for the current address for the BBC Limassol, Cyprus relay station. The 2009 address I have is apparently outdated or incorrect, the PO Box (209) no longer being correct. Thanks in advance. (Bruce Jensen-CA-USA, dxld Aug 3) Hi Bruce, curiously enough, the East Mediterranean relay station is listed among embassies and consulates (!) on the Foreign & Commonwealth Office web pages The address you are looking for is: file:///Z|/DOKUMENTATION-BULLETINS/WWDXD-BCDX/2010/BCDX975.TXT[11.06.2012 10:40:14]
