Logs for Al Muick 30-31 October

QTH:	Kabul, Afghanistan
RX:	WinRadio G303e
ANT:	100m longwire
ACC:	Palstar MW-550P mediumwave/LF preselector

Well!  I thought things were calming down around here, but I guess the
Taliban had other ideas.  We had two suicide bombers in the Ministry of
Information on Thursday.  One of them detonated, but the second one
apparently got cold feet and was eventually taken into custody by the
authorities.  Not too bad a weekend-day for DX, so without further ado:

873	BANGLADHESH, Bangladesh Betar heard at 00.00 on 30 Oct. with s/on,
call to prayer and some pretty groovy sitar work reminiscent of 70's acid
rock.  S/on is officially at 00.00 (06.00 Bangladesh local) per monitoring
and web sked and not 00.30 as listed in WRTH.  Truly magnificent S4 signals
without the need for the pre-selctor.

15295	MALAYSIA, VoM English Service heard at 07.00 on 31 Oct. with EG
news, and then a program of 70's/80's pop and rock.  Many station IDs and
fair signals with a severe fade.  This service is for Asia, so I suspect I'm
off the back of a beam.

15360	SWAZILAND, TWR, heard with Urdu program at 14.13 on 31 Oct. until
s/off at 14.15 then IS and English IDs until 14.16.  Very good sigs.

15630	GREECE, VoG heard with Greek programming and pop music with station
IDs at 0920 on 31 Oct.  Weak signal and completely wiped out by R. Ukraine
Intl. on 15635.  Had to peel them off with my variable IF bandwidth.

15635	UKRAINE, R. Ukraine Intl., heard with Ukrainian programming at 09.50

Glenn Hauser logs October 31, 2008

** ALBANIA. Both R. Tirana transmitters at Shijak are back on the air, Oct 31 at 2111 with undermodulated
music on S9+12 7510 signal; 2123 also heard // 9345 which was somewhat stronger with news in English about
Albania; 2126 went to closing theme on 7510 and cut off at 2127 but came back on for another minute or so at
2128-2129* Meanwhile 9345 was playing IS from 2128, rating S9+20, 2130 signing on in Albanian with full
transmission schedule just like they do in English. No co-channel from North Korea audible today (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BIAFRA [non]. On the last Friday of A-08, Oct 24, V. of Biafra International via WHRI at 20-21 UT was on
15280, but their website said it was on ``15.67``. The first Friday of B-08, Oct 31, we made sure to check
during that hour, and there it was on 15665, the scheduled B-08 frequency --- except now their website says:

``Voice of Biafra International (VOBI)
A SHORTWAVE Radio Broadcast Service
transmitting on 15.28 MHz (on 19 meter band)
at 2000 - 2100 Hours UTC (Universal Time [Coordinated]) 
equivalent to 9.00 pm-10.00 pm Biafraland time every Friday.
A project of Biafra Foundation, and Biafra Actualization Forum.``

as in http://www.biafraland.com/vobi.htm

Will they ever get synchronized? I was not listening at the opening or closing when one frequency of the
other may have been announced. Reception was a bit `hollow`, probably back-radiation from WHRI plus
backscatter rather than long-path (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** CUBA [and non]. Despite very strong signal of REE on new 9640, Oct 31 at 2100 with RNE news, I could still
hear the incompetent DentroCuban Jamming Command underneath it, still running the totally uncalled for
jamming against Radio República which formerly used this frequency at another time. Isn`t Spain doing a
lot of tourism business with Cuba? Perhaps diplomatic relations should be broken if Cuba does not desist.
Yeah sure, like the Spanish government even knows, much less cares about this issue.

Re: [dxld] VOA QSL

Bruce,

Wonder if this was direct from ST or via Washington? The engineer there used to be a good direct QSLer until he
retired. Since any QSLs at all are a bonus, and the site is easy to hear, I suggest you just send a new report
rather than making an issue of it. You could ask that they put your name on the reply, which they apparently
did not this time.

Wolfy, please don't use the name "Lvov", unless in the past tense.  Like "Peking, Peiping, etc....now
Beijing), the proper name is Lviv  (formerly Lemberg (German), Lwow (Polish), Lvov (Russian).  It's now
know in it's proper Ukrainian as Lviv.  As for Krasne, it's easily seen on the highway into Lviv approaching
from the south-east in the distance with multiple towers.  Vlad Titarev and I went searching for the sight
perhaps 10 years ago and found it....mostly abandoned at that time, but not in disarray.  It wasn't
operating at the time, but still a very impressive site up close. ......Walt.

Sat DX

Bolivia, 6155.23, Radio Fides, 2350-0015  Prior to the hour, noted a male
in Spanish language comments over and with music.  On the hour, time
ticks while comments continue.  At 0002, a second male talks briefly and
gives ID as, "...Radio Fides...".  Following this, the program becomes a
call in production with music and telephone calls all contributing to the
confusion.  Signal however, was good.  (Chuck Bolland, November  1, 2008)

Bolivia, 6134.81, Radio Santa Cruz, 0011-0020,  Noted an ID being given
as I was tuning by, so t hought I'd log this then with a canned ID by a 
male,
"... transmite Radio Santa Cruz ..."   Then a female comments briefly and
music follows.  Signal was good.  (Chuck Bolland, November 2, 2008

Clewison, Florida
