Log for Week Ending Nov. 26
OTHER ¢t than the new Empire station, there is nothing much to report. Morning reception is very, poor, unless one is up very early. The following log is what I heard during the week during short periods of listening :- (2?) Russia, 74 metres (about).Thursday, 6 a.m., Russian talk at R83, soon faded right out. KVi5, Khabarovsk, 70.1 metres.Heard at good volume in the week,. being ‘silent the last few days. HVJ, Vatican City, 50.26 metres,-RT7-8 between 6.45 a.m. and 7 a.m. most mornings, RV59, Moscow, 50 metres: Very poor unless one is up very early. Thursday was an early morning for the new English station, when this Russian was excellent t 4.45 a.m., being R9. This slowly deto R4 by 6.80 a.m. VQiLo, 49.5 metres: Also the result vt early rising, but very weak, R3 at 4.4 ails fading out by 6 a.m. hicago, 49,18 metres: Heard most afternoons after 4 p.m., but seldom yeaches more than about Rd. WSXAL, Boundbrook, metrose,
Sundays only, not up to their usual last week, also were gushy. WSXK,' Pittsburgh, 48.86 metres: Comes in quite well most afternoons till 5.30 p.m., sometimes later. REN, Moscow, 45.38 metres: Not heard every morning. ‘Thursday was the best. They opened at 4.45 a.m, with a musical programme at R8-9. They sometimes broadcast the .same items as RV59, but not this morning. By 6.45 a.m. they were only just audible. On Saturday at 6.45 a.m. they were still R7. , 39,2 metres (about): At 11.15 p.m., foreign talk at R8-9 was heard. I think it was Russian, but static was too bad to make a good guess. , . 38 metres (about): At the Same as the above station was on, a Jap. was talking very fast on this wave at R8. Static was also bad here. ; 33.2 Metre (about).-Another this time at 8 a.m. on Wednesday morning, when orchestral and vocal music was heard at R3-4. The announcements, which were in English and a¢foreign language, were not readable,’ except an odd word or two. They faded out every few seconds.
