MW-Logs, May 2023.

In the last few days, mostly weak signals were heard in the medium wave band, almost exclusively from western South America. The signal strength is usually only usable shortly before sunrise, and then often only for 2-5 minutes. But it’s nice to hear so many Peruvians again.

MW-Logs 29.4 – 1.5.2023

One nice log each from Africa, both Magic 828 from South Africa and even rarer Radio Lesotho on 639 kHz. Lesotho is difficult to separate by the Spaniard on the same frequency, but quite listenable around 22- 00 UT with patience.

Very nice signals from South America, but always very short between 0315 – 0330 UT, but sometimes with really good signal strengths like Radio Campesina from the Andean city of Cajamarca at 2750 metres. Radio Moderna from Cajamarca could also be heard, whose station was even two kilometres further away at 10715 kilometres.

Before the beverage antenna has to be dismantled in a few days, logs like these are a reward for all the work at the station.

QSL: Madeira!

For three weeks I have been recording daily from 22 – 00 UT towards Africa on 1530 kHz to finally catch Madeira after many years – until last week without success, Romania is just too strong in Salzburg. Due to the strong solar storm I thought maybe the medium wave band prefers closer frequencies here. And indeed, on 23 April at 23 UT I was able to receive the daily played pan flute melody briefly in Salzburg. The station confirmed the reception report to me very quickly. My 203rd confirmed radio country according to EDXC list.
