CFVP Calgary where are you? 6030 AM 2210 UTC 5Oct12
« on: October 05, 2014, 2219 UTC »
Left a recorder going overnight on 6030, and recorded many hours of Marti until 1200z, then into presumed CRI.  I did note some weak OM talking behind CRI around 1230z, so maybe yes, maybe no.

Right now I have a good carrier on 6030 at 2210 with trace audio.  Will leave this recording for a while hoping to catch poss greyline in about an hour?

Even though it is too early here, I decided to give 6030 a try. Just hearing China right now.

Around 2252, the live feed went into a commercial block, and China started to fade up big time; I can no longer correlate with the live feed of Funny Radio.

Trying at 1040z. Now I remember why I can't hear CFVP, 6030 is blocked by Cuban Jammers protecting the Proletariat.

Glad I finally caught CFVP a few years back during a Monday Marti and jammer silent period!

This AM China was not in well after Marti off at 1200.  There was a scrap or 2 of OM audio that came up under China around 1225; the live stream was playing a clip of funny man Norm MacDonald at the time.

I tried this morning after Marti went off, but I could not hear anything under the Cuban jammer.

I have some odd beeping now at 1232z, and there's definitely a carrier visible on the waterfall, but I am not hearing anything that sounds like CFVP's audio.

Tried again this AM; no luck.  I have heard this many times before, but right now it's kicking my butt royal.  China is very dominant after Marti.

I haven't heard CFVP in more than a year. Perhaps it's coming in on nights when I'm not tuning the 49 meter band.

Right now I'm getting what sounds like Chinese fading in and out (off the Grundig G2's whip).

But even with my 25 ft. indoor antenna and other radios I always get Marti and the jammer during afternoons and evenings when I'm usually tuning around the shortwaves.

And CFVP is only about 500 mi or so NE of my QTH.

I have received it before, when it was still playing country music -- probably more than 3 or four years ago.

FWIW: Firedrake is coming in really well on 6075 khz. Unreadable speech behind.

An AM radio Boombox DXer.
+ GE SRIII, PR-D5 & TRF on MW.
The usual Realistic culprits on SW (and a Panasonic).
