VANUATU, and Lots More...
« on: March 25, 2014, 1046 UTC »
Some excellent DX noted over the past few days! Vanuatu was just one station.

3945   VANUATU. R. Vanuatu - Port Vila. Kenny G. song at 1843, then the national anthem at 1845. Full ID in English and freq annct for MW, SW and FM. Good signal but listening was difficult due to high thunderstorm noise on the band. Gone by 1945 (6.45am Port Vila time). Runs // to 7260 kHz but not as good there, Mar 21. Also at 1120 with island music and an excellent signal in Bislama on Mar 22.

7260   VANUATU. R. Vanuatu - Port Vila. Noted at 1845 with the anthem and s/on anncts, then religious message in Bislama and English. Then good signal but difficult listening due to heavy QRM CRI 7255, Mar 21.

15190   ROMANIA. R. Santec - Tiganesti. English preaching (Sundays only) at 1523, but sudden break in transmission at 1526, then back again 1528 in time for the ID and station address. Then at 1530, the IRRS relay ID followed by another R. Santec program, generally good signal on Mar 23. EiBi lists this station with Swahili at 1530 but not so on this occasion.

Quite a few other stations noted as well. If interested, take a look at the latest post at the Mount Evelyn DX Report.
