Longwave Loggings / Radio Algeria Chaîne 3 on 252 khz at 210 UTC
« on: January 29, 2021, 0215 UTC »
Hearing OMs in what sounds like Arabic, not French, tonight (speaking rapidly) with minimal QRN for LW, and just an occasional beacon or similar intermittent beep from an adjacent frequency. Fades in an out, but relatively clear channel tonight.

MW Loggings / Mix of CKZW (Montreal) and CINA (Mississauga) 1650 khz 150 UTC 29 Jan 2021
« on: January 29, 2021, 0204 UTC »
Hearing two low power Canadian stations dueling on 1650 tonight. Sometimes its Jewish programming in French from CKZW (1 kw nighttime) and other times, even more clearly, it's South Asian (Hindi perhaps) programming, music and ads from CINA (0.68 kw nighttime). Interesting finds on this top end of the MW band these days.

QSLs Received / Mystery eQSL Not Delivered
« on: July 07, 2020, 0015 UTC »
I received an email via Anonymousemail anonymizer service on Sunday at 7:08 pm, but there was no message or attachment (just a long string of alpha-numerics). Subject line was "eQSL" but there was no indication of station.
It seems like a much appreciated attempt to eQSL failed due to an email glitch at one end or the other. Just letting the relevant operator know, in case this happened with all attempts to eQSL for whatever transmission it relates to, and so they can re-send if possible.
Thanks and 73s!

0228- Rock music sung by OM I can't ID. Electric guitar and old school sounding (what we'd admiringly call a "garage band" in the 80s).
0235- After about three songs, seemingly from the same band, OFF.
Pls QSL, thanks.
