Some 60 meter band loggings 15/16 August 2018
« on: August 16, 2018, 1712 UTC »
I recorded the 60m band last night, used the AFE822x and the 2m x 2m crossed parallel loop. Here's what I found:

4955 2320-0202* R.Cultura Amauta, Huanta Peru, very weak, SIO 111
4875 2320-0156* Radiodifusora Roraima Brazil, very good, SIO 433 to 444
4925 2320-0255*  R.Educacao Rural, Tefé Brazil, good, SIO 333 to 444
4960 0455-past 0618 VOA, São Tomé and Príncipe. Faded in slowly, maybe SIO 333 on peaks.
4845 2320-0153* R. Cultura do Amazonas Brazil, very weak with traces of audio, obliterated by WWCR at 2359, after that I just had the carrier.
5000 Entire recording, WWV, hey why not, we're logging everything.
5000 0707-, WWVH, Weakly heard starting at 0707.
5025 Entire recording, Radio Rebelde with the usual strong signal
5025 2320-0554*, Radio Havana with the usual strong signal
4965 0933-1020 Rádio Alvorada,Parintins Brazil, faded in around 0933, some greyline enhancement around 0945, gone by 1020
5010 *1058-1113 WRMI signed on, I think with an AWR program.
5055 1020-1113 4KZ Australia, carrier was there for quite a while before it got strong enough so I could hear audio. Never better than an SIO 111 however.
4940 0930-1113  Voice of Strait, China. Carrier from before 0930, some audio starting around 1020.
