THE HAMRADIO DOT COM

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.

1070 5.1. 0500- CUB: CMKS R Trinchera Antimperialista, Guantánamo. After few poor mornings, some TA-condx. Unfortunately quite weak mixed propagation. Trinchera and Reloj same time also on 1020.
1120 7.1. 0000- PTR: WMSW R Once, Hatillo. Almost all night.
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.

South America

730 7.1. 0531- CLM: HJCU Melodía Stereo, SF de Bogotá. Rebelde was dominating low band.
850 1.1. 0730- VEN: YVZC R Fé y Alegría, Maracaibo. New day’s propagation was up and down, but this was new one.
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!
1310 29.12.2013 0500- B: ZYJ684 R Globo Rondônia, Pôrto Velho.
1310 29.12.2013 0601- CLM: HJAK La Voz de la Patria, Barranquilla. [1309.681].
1330 1.1. 0657- CLM: HJFE RCN Antena 2, Pereira. Good signal. New one. [.003].

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].
1580 7.1. 0358- CLM: HJQZ R Maria, Barranquilla. Lately Radio Maria has had problems with audio. Also Caracol heard.
1580 29.12.2013 0632- CLM: HJRM Caracol Radio, Sincelejo. [.997].

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.

Here are my FM loggings for the 2013 summer season. I was using Perseus FM+ and 4 el FM yagi. Mostly I was listening in the city center where the antenna was hanging in the railing of my balcony and is in the middle of high buildings – very very poor QTH. Few openings I was listening at country side with the same set up. I have plans to have a remote station for Es season 2014, where I monitor Perseus via internet connection and the station itself is at my remote HF QTH. The plan is also to put up Körner-yagi for FM (build by OH1ZAA).

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.

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.

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).

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 25.12. 0359- VEN: YVUD R Deporte, Caracas. [.997].

Some new ones:

600. HJJM Radio Auténtica, Cali 660 kHz

Radio Auténtica is not the most common Colombian, only heard it twice this season on this interesting frequency. They replied in one day via Facebook. My 600th QSL!

601. CFCB Corner Brook NL 570 kHz

This 1kW transmitter has been heard regularly during the NA openings opf this season. I sent my report to Richard King, who confirmed my VOCM receptions earlier and he verified my report quickly.

602. WCCO Minneapolis MN 830 kHz

At my QTH the most common US station in this channel is WCRN, but I was able to hear WCCO in November. I sent an email to their address mentioned on website (newstips@..) and by my suprise I got a quick replay from Colin Smith (Anchor/Reporter) and then later another replay from Adam Carter (News Anchor/Reporter). With Adam I wrote few times – as usual we were talking about icehockey (Minnesota Wild)!

603. WSTX St. Croix VI 970 kHz

I have heard this station from US Virgin Islands 3 times this season. My earlier email was not answered. I found the owner of the station, Kevin A. Rames, and emailed my report to his company’s email address – he is an attorney. Kevin replied quickly with a nice email and said that WSTX AM and FM (Caledonia Communications) is a family owned radio station. He is planning to give the radio station to his son when he graduates. This email was a nice suprise and was a new country verified.

December has been a bit dissapointing condition-wise, but there has been a couple of interesting nights (4th and 16th). Particulary the 16th of December was interesting: it sounded first like another poor night with weak mix condx until around 0700z the band peaked to Peru. With identified stations I heard some interesting UNIDs, like a wobbler religious station on 920, which is probably Radio Vision Cristiana from Peru.

As per today looks like that condx to NA are peaking around Christmas Eve.

Utily stations

570 20.12. 0930- NOR: LF4J Norsky Hydro / Brage. Voimakas läpi yön ja aamun.

Again some QSLs have arrived.

593. – 595. SER Radio Coruña 1080, SER Radio Pontevedra 1116, SER Radio Valladolid 1044
SER stations have been like a black hole for me. Earlier this year I got zero replies to my email reports. Now I tried Facebook and got immediately 3 replies! I think success rate was 75 % (3 out of 4).

596. HJLR Caracol Radio, Pasto 1280
Puerto Rico is often blocking this frequency, but in November I was lucky to catch this Caracol. Claudia Ortega Sarria, Directora de noticias replied quickly.

597. Radio Libertad 620, Cabimas 620
I heard this rare Venezuelan in September. Reception was quite good. I don’t know if this has ever heard in Finland before. From internet I found Colombian DXer who had got QSL from Libertad. I emailed to him and got some v/s information. I also got similar email contact from Henrik Klemetz. By my suprise two months after my email to Antonio Contin, he replied and confirmed my reception. He also promised to send me something in mail. This is certainly my catch of 2013 together with Bolivian Radio Urkupiña.

598. WMSW Radio Once, Isabela 1120
They confirmed my report on Facebook.

599. ZYK766 Rádio Iguatemi, São Paulo 1370
Osmar Zini replied quickly. My second Brasilian QSL in 2013.

Some QSLs have arrived after I sent a bunch of reception reports.

584. NHK via Sitkunai, Lithuania 1386 kHz
I noticed that I have no QSL from Lithuania (post-USSR). So I emailed a report to NHK Russian department via their web page. They confirmed by email and probably will send a paper QSL later.

585. Radio Khvylia, Vinnitsya 1377 kHz
Short Ukrainian email confirmed my report. This is a new local station from Ukraine.

586. BBC R Cornwall 630 kHz & 95.20 MHz
I sent them an email last summer for my FM-reception, but got no replay. Now after hearing them twice on AM, I sent another email and got quick response confirming my both reports.

587. BBC Radio Jersey 1026 kHz
This was heard same time than I heard Cornwall for the first time. Jon Gripton confirmed via email.

588. BBC Hereford & Worcester 1584 kHz
This one has not replied earlier but now Howard Bentham, Breakfast Presenter confirmed my report.

589. AIR Suratgarh 918 kHz
590. AIR Rajkot 1071 kHz
K.C. Sharma of GOS confirmed my reports quickly. Rajkot is regular here but Suratgarh I have heard only once.

591. WLAM Lewiston ME 1470 kHz
The most common US station on 1470, but I didn’t get any reply via email last winter. Now they verified my report quickly via Facebook.

592. OAX4N Radio Bacán, Lince Lima
This was heard in the 4th of October this year. They replied quickly with a scanned mail … via email 🙂

WLAM 1470 QSL
