grey line dx'ing, 7/27/16
« on: July 27, 2016, 1213 UTC »
1123z, Radio Nikkei 1, 3925 AM - YL, news reading format. Started out 333, quickly faded to 212 by 1130z.

1130z Radio Verdad, 4055 AM - rough copy, music heard at/below noise floor. My first copy of a Central American broadcast. Recording of reception:

1143z China Radio Int'l, Filipino broadcast, 5910 AM - YL, news reading format. Rough copy - good signal but echo effect on voices, plus high-pitched QRM of some sort. SIO 312.

1150z CRI, English broadcast, 5955 AM - 150 kW from Beijing, at/below noise floor but minimal interference. YL news reading format, SIO 131.

1153z, China Nat'l Radio 8, Korean broadcast, 5975 AM - 100 kW from Beijing, pretty much the same listening experience as CRI.

1158z, Echo of Hope, 6003 AM - Music audible in spite of North Korean jamming, SIO 311 (would likely be 333 without the jammer)

1201z, NHK, Chinese broadcast, 6090 AM - YL and OM news reading format. Very nice signal. SIO 333-433.

1211z, BBC, Kranji transmission, 6195 AM - OM, news reading format, Pope Francis visiting Poland. SIO 222 at best.
