DXPedition 26th & 27th May 2012

A few weeks ago, I decided to do a small DXPedition in the last weekend of May with my friend and colleague - Ivo Ivanov. During the two days, we stayed in Patreshko Village, 650 meters altitude, far away from any local QRM. Despite the bad weather, the conditions during the DXPedition were pretty good, we received half a dozen of stations from Brazil, as well as many US Christian broacasters, the Sackville relays of KBS World Radio, Vatican Radio, Radio Marti via Greenville, CBC Nord Quebec, CVC International via Chile and many other. Audible on peaks were the ABC Australia Regional stations on 120 and 60 metres. Plenty of pirates were broadcasting from time to time on 48, 43 and 19 metres. Radio Habana Cuba Spanish and English broadcasts had excellent signal strength and quality on all the frequencies on 60, 49, 31, 25 and 19 metres band. The battles between the Cuban jammers and Radio Marti and Radio Republica were also interesting. The equipment used was:

Receiver: Sony ICF-2010D
Antennas: beverage antennas
  • 50 meters beaming East/West
  • 50 meters beaming South-South East/North-North West
Here is a log of the most interesting stations, we received during the two days:

ABC Tests on NTSS Alice Springs 4835 kHz

From 28 May onwards for a period of a couple of months, there's a chance you'll hear VL8A running a single-frequency test on 4835 kHz. This is a high-angle skywave, night service intended primarily for a domestic audience within 400 km of the transmitter. The reason for the trial is because the transmitter contractors are unable to maintain the automation system that controls the day-night change-over between 4835 & 2310 kHz.

Reception reports on the test should be sent to:
Gary Baxter
ABC Transmission Services
Box 9994
Sydney  NSW 2001
AUSTRALIA

Conversely, if people want to report on 2310 kHz then it might be an idea to do so now in case the test becomes permanent. Note that the address above should be used in all instances, and not that of Radio Australia.
