THE HAMRADIO DOT COM

Here are my loggings between the 5th and the 22nd of February. I could easily say that this is possibly the best (station qualitywise) log blog post here ever. The evening of the 5th had outstanding sunset-propagation to ME/MA-region around 2200z. Next days provided such a stations as Radio Curom and VON on 860 kHz. The 12nd in the morning there was short peak to Lima with very rare midband Peru stations etc.

The first weeks of February were very interesting propagation-wise. I am still listening to the 6th Feb files, so lots of files to listen.

North America

560 4.2. 0400- USA: WQAM Miami FL. Also WIOD 610 loud.

The local ad to Fairmont before this confirmed the identification. Replied to my reception report quickly.

Slow QSL start for this year.

609. R Rossii/Karelii, Petroskoi 765 kHz
Back in the days I remember that I’ve sent them a reception report from their Finnish programme but got no replay. Now “Юлия Громова” replied in 11 days via email.

610. WLQY Hollywood FL 1320 kHz
I have found this FL-stn few times, but it’s not the most common Florida-station. I got confirmation from Rick Hunt, who is the Vice President and Director of Radio Engineering Entravision Communications.

611. WGIT Faro de Santidad, Canovanas 1660 kHz
WGIT used to be the most common CA-station on Mediumwaves. Lately its signal has been weaker. They also changed their format from news station to religious station with name “Faro de Santidad”. I got my replay from Facebook.

612. HJZI G12 Radio, Bogotá 1550 kHz
G12 has had very good signal lately during the Bogota openings. Fabi Locutora confirmed my reception.

613. Radio Turbo Mix AM, Cajamarca 1540 kHz
This Peru station is fairly easy catch on its split, 1540,5 kHz. Quick replay via email.

614. OCX4R Radio La Inolvidable, Lima 660 kHz
After several attempts I found a v/s information which worked. Manuel Soto F. kindly confirmed my reception via email. Perhaps this is the second QSL from this station to Finland?

615. R Beograd 202 1503 kHz
Thanks to JUS, I got a quick replay from Svetomir Cuckovic, who is 80 years old and has a ham radio call YU7SC. It is also my first QSL from Serbia.

The peak of the propagation was on the 21st Jan when there was one hour extremely good peak to Medellin, Colombia area. The band was full of unheard stations when usual Bogota dominants were absent. Also some NA/CA-condx but not many new ones for me. Reception report -wise I am much behind – sending out reports for stations heard in late December. And already heard almost 100 new stations this year!

Condx have been awesome lately. Good period of radio propagation started on the 16th January, so this post has only a small portion of which was heard. The reason is that I haven’t listened through all the files – 16th Jan took almost two full days to listen all!

Propagation has been up and down recently. 29th Dec was very good morning to Columbia with 1140 HRVC La Voz Evangélica, Choluteca as a big suprise. 1st Jan was reasonably good but so far the best day in 2014 has been the 7th of January. Highlight that day was 940 HCBZ1 R Casa de la Cultura Ecuatoriana, Quito.

New improvement for the station has been that I am using now TeamViewer 9 for remote control. I can now listen to Perseus-files over the internet and also listen live.

1140 7.1. 0300- CUB: CMBF R Musical Nacional, Villa Clara. New Cuban for me! “Radio Musical Nacional transmitiendo desde La Habana, Cuba”. Mielenkiintoiset kelit 7.1.
1140 29.12.2013 0528- HND: HRVC La Voz Evangélica, Choluteca. I noticed this split Spanish [.028] station, which was quite weak and signal had lots of fading. Although split indicated that this is something interesting, I couldn’t figure out anything from this. Then I heard that in Sweden this was identified as Hondurasian with CVC programme “Píldoras y reflexiones”. Again to the file and after careful listening, I found “HRVC”-ID. ID approved by HK & PW, tack!
1570 29.12.2013 0600- GTM: TGVE VEA Voz Evangelica de América, Guatemala. Appearently signing off.

940 7.1. 0357- EQA: HCBZ1 R Casa de la Cultura Ecuatoriana, Quito. I heard this few minutes with very nice signal with clear ID. HK approved this also, tnx. They had station promo with Glenn Miller tune (In the mood). Although OLL has no loggings for this, it has been heard back in the days. [.998] Afterwards I heard Glenn Miller tune also 1.1.2014 0302Z.
1020 10.1. 0330- VEN: YVMX R Continente, Maracaibo. 10th Jan some VEN on low band, but no new ones.
1100 7.1. 0300- CLM: HJCN R BBN, Bogotá. With Caracol.
1130 27.12.2013 0637- CLM: HJVA Vida AM, Bogotá.
1140 1.1. 0704- CLM: HJDL R Paisa, Medellin.
1260 29.12.2013 0700- CLM: HJDA R Auténtica, Medellín. Weak on split [.984]. PUL’s log entry helped with ID.
1280 27.12.2013 0633- CLM: HJKN R Única, Bogotá. Quite rare recent years. Below NotiUno [.972].
1300 1.1. 0258- PRU: OAX4S R Comas, Comas. Audio had typical Peru sound. Fine IDs and strong signal few minutes. No other Peru heard!

1380 29.12.2013 0655-0705 CLM: HJJD NSE Radio, Medellín. This station I was wondering for a long time. WWW-address was given and I thought it is something like “mferadio.com” and this must be Nuevo Tiempo. It made me suspicious as I didn’t notice any other stations from Lima. Then I saw PK’s log entry for NSE Radio and it “opened” this case. It didn’t help that WRTH 2014 lists this with full name (R. Nuestra Señora del Encuentro con Dios).
1520 7.1. 0500- CLM: HJLQ Radio Minuto, Barranquilla. At this point the strongest SA on the band.
1540.5 29.12.2013 0701- PRU: R Turbo Mix AM, Cajamarca. “Turrrrrrbo Mix … aa emme!”.
1550 7.1. 0358- CLM: HJCB R El Sol, Barranquilla. New one from CLM. Radio El Sol- and RCN-IDs. [.000].

Christmas and new year clearly were a bit quiet time for QSLing although I sent quite a lot of reception reports. Fortunately some interesting catches arrived:

604. Belorussian Radio 1170 kHz

Anton Vasyukevich, Chief Director sent me an English QSL-letter as an attachment of email. This was also a new country for me – one of those “new” post-1991 countries which I was missing.

605. R Rossii Volgograd 567 kHz

This was a nice suprise. Confirmation arrived in 6 days. I have tried to get a QSL few times before but now they finally replied – and asked me an interwiev via Skype. I replied that unfortunately I can’t speak Russian … So far this is the only one of Radio Rossii local stations which has replied to me. Few others (3-4) which I’ve emailed to recently, have been silent.

606. WRNI Providence RI 1290 kHz

Aaron Read, IT & Engineering Director replied with an email to my second reception report. Read has also an interesting blog.

607. CCI Radio, Tegucicalpa 1300 kHz

Patty de Mejía, Comunicaciones replied with nice email quickly. You can read more about this from my recent blog entry. This was a new country for me.

608. TGVE VEA Voz Evangelica de América, Guatemala 1570 kHz

TGVE “Radio Veea” I heard twice in December. They replied via email in 7 days. Also all time new country for me.

This is a short presentation how my DXing (MW listening) year went. During the summer I listened to FM only. In August I started more active recording of the band. Unfortunately because of technical problems I missed some good DX openings (like USA condx in Sept&Oct).

In the next “Radiomaailma” will be my article based on list above (in Finnish).

Propagation has been very interesting last two weeks. Not very good always, but we’ve got some interesting openings like a long opening to Honduras on the 23rd Dec, shorter to Mexico City on the Christmas Eve and then nice condx to Caracas on the 25th. On the 26th I noticed that my antenna (which is at the remote station) was broken, seems that it went broken at night of 26th.

Central America

1190 24.12. 0458- CUB: CMKC R Revolución, Chivirico, Santiago de Cuba.
1280 24.12. 0400- CUB: CMKW R Mambí, Santiago de Cuba. I noticed a station few Hz below NotiUno with certain “Cuban audio”. Station was fading with NotiUno very badly but after some careful listening I could understand the ID which was something like: “Radio informatico de Cuba … CMKW Radio Mambí … Santiago de Cuba..”. Fellow DXer JMS confirmed my hearing and told that JPR has heard this few times (even there are no loggings in OLL).
1300 23.12. 0628- HND: HRLH CCI Radio, Tegucigalpa. This was heard over half an hour with split [1299.970] same time with HRVC 1390. I couldn’t find real ID from my files but identity of this religious station seemed to be quite certain. Anders Hulqvist in Sweden heard this last year also with HRVC. Many other DXers in Sweden and at least PUL/R in Finland, received this same time. By my suprise they replied to me quickly writing that yes, it is their programme. I’ve heard a programme which was originally a cermon of American pastor Adrian Rogers called “El Amor Que Vale” (or “Love Worth Finding” in English, see comment of Henrik Klemetz below). One of the highlights in 2013 for sure!
1390 23.12. 0631- HND: HRVC La Voz Evangélica, Tegucigalpa/Sta Rosa de Copán. Good solid signal over half an hour. Talk programme with good IDs. [.997]
1470 24.12. 0557- MEX: XEAI R Fórmula, México DF. Excellent IDs and national anthem.
1570 24.12. 0600- MEX: XERF La Poderosa, Cd. Acuña. “La Poderosa” and national anthem. Split was old [.004]. Also XEUR 1530 came somehow but too weak for reception report.
1620 23.12. 0400- VIR: WDHP Frederiksted, St Croix. “You’ve been listening to WDHP…” [.990].

South America

1340 25.12. 0428- VEN: YVNE R Uno, Caracas. Long and good signal with music px. Counted seconds to Christmas. Three new Caracas stations this morning: YVNE, YVXD and YVUD. Now I have heard 45 different YV stations on Mediumwaves (2012-2013).
1370 25.12. 0425- CLM: HJBO Emisora Minuto de Dios, Barranquilla.
1390 22.12. 0459- PRU: R Fé, Chiclayo. Thanks to HK for help with this split [.066] which I heard already in September (24.9.). Henrik had eg. good audio clip of time announcement of this station, which was identical to what I heard. Faint ID here too. Station is closing down just after 05Z.
1460 22.12. 0702- CLM: HJJW Emisora Nuevo Continente, Bogotá. Also strong Columbians 1590, 1580, 1550, 1520, 1490, 1450, 1410, 1400, 1340, 1250, but nothing new or more interesting.
1490 25.12. 0426- VEN: YVXD La Dinámica, Caracas. [.013] Same time also Llanerísima [1429.906], but possible ID is too weak.
1550 23.12. 0701- CLM: HJZI G12 Radio, Bogotá. At first couldn’t understand the ID (“Esta es he doce radio … 1550 AM … HJZI…”). Heard also 22.12. at 0502Z.
1590 23.12. 0700- CLM: HJIP BBN, Envigado. Lately heard in the many mornings.
1590 25.12. 0359- VEN: YVUD R Deporte, Caracas. [.997].
