Shortwave Broadcast / Voice of Islamic Republic of Iran English service 13780 KHz 16:15 UTC 4/12/14

« on: April 12, 2014, 1620 UTC »

Heard via Twente with fair signal. They repeatedly ID'ed as "Voice of the Islamic Republic of Iran" & not as "Voice of Justice" as they do for the North American service on 11780//13650 3:20-4:20. Is VOJ only for N.America?

Shortwave Broadcast / All India Radio 11670 KHz

I have enjoyed, for a while now, returning home from work & tuning AIR's General Overseas Service in English on 11670 KHz & hearing their newscast & usually falling asleep to the sub continent music they play. Unfortunately that HF bully Radio Havana has taken up residence on 11670 at 21:00 UTC leaving a mere 15 minutes of AIR GOS English service. Cuba is on an additional 6 frequencies in Spanish (5040,9710,9550,9810,11840,13740) at the same time so its not like 11670 is even needed.

Heard on 6955 with fairly good signal while I walked the dog. 4 out of 5 bars on funky PL660 s meter.

Shortwave Broadcast / Re: Who is under WWV 15000?

« on: April 10, 2014, 1925 UTC »

In looking for info about who the unid time station could be I see a couple I have never heard. LOL from Argentina seems to still be active 1 hour a day, Mon - Fri on 10 MHz (14:00-15:00 UTC). I don't think I ever logged that one. Really, what is the point of 5 hours a week? Also I see a Spanish time station EBC which I think is no longer even on air. They were only on from 1000-1025 , 1030-1055Z Mon-Fri on 15.006 MHz. Even less than LOL.

I'm not sure why you wouldn't hear the music if this is Italcable as Chanter said, but the other details match. They also do SSTV every few minutes.

General Radio Discussion / "Sunray Major Calling" Last of the summer wine episode about radio

« on: April 10, 2014, 0502 UTC »

I really love this show & it takes a looooong time to watch all the episodes as it is the longest running sitcom ever going from 1973 until 2010. It is a British comedy about three old guys & their child-like take on the world. Set in Yorkshire , the beautiful scenery is as much a character as anybody else is. This episode concerns the three guys playing with "portable radios" , huge back pack military type HF rigs.

I've been trying for this since they reactivated it a few days ago & today heard a JBA carrier with audio at the wishful thinking threshold.

Really nice 20 over S9 signal on portable Satellit 750. A good time to walk the dog with my PL660 as I will have something cool to listen to.
