Fishing Drift Net Beacons / Re: DNB logs for August 2020

« on: August 26, 2020, 0806 UTC »

Wednesday 26th August 2020:

2.692MHz  CW  OZ6  1617z  559 report.
2.665MHz  CW  VQ1  0930z  519 report.

2.275MHz  CW  GE8  0748z  539 report.
2.235MHz  CW  XY1  0520z  319 report. (Continuous, at 0802z 539 report, at 0930z 569 report, at 1110z 569 report.)
1.910MHz  CW  NN6  0944z  419 report.

NB:  An interesting observation is XY1 on 2.235MHz transmitting continuously, first logged at 0520z barely readable at 319 report and still audible at 1110z but now 569 report. Would be interesting to learn where this beacon is located as consistent signal despite propagation being poor and few other beacons logged. BX2 was last logged on this frequency back on 01st August but not heard this session, only XY1 continuous.  Sometimes up to three beacons can be heard using the same frequency.

Utility / Re: Marine CW beacons/markers log.

« on: August 22, 2020, 0957 UTC »

Thanks Costas, when you have some time please check the following for me as they have not been heard this season:

SVO  Olympia Radio  8.424.0MHz
 
TAH  Istanbul    4.209.5MHz
                       4.560.0MHz
                       8.434.0MHz

I think Olympia Radio on 8.424.0MHz may be off air as I hear TAH on 8MHz regular on 8.431.0MHz.

Appreciated....

Thank you Costas, by chance, did you hear 4.331.0MHz at the same time? Interesting to see if they were both on air together, at present 1625z I have 4.331.0MHz at 419 report but nothing on 4.009.0MHz. LG

You logging has been added to the main list, thanks again...LG

MW Loggings / Pacific Islands on MW

« on: July 28, 2020, 0639 UTC »

A surprise tune around the band last night:

0945-1015z Monday 27th of July 2020:

0953z  1035KHz  2ZB News Talk Radio, Wellington, New Zealand with "feeding native birds, ring us 0800-80-1080" 5X8 report.
0955z  1044KHz  4ZB News Talk Radio, Dunedin, New Zealand with "ring us now as lines are now open, talk to us New Zealand." 5X6 report.
1008z  1017KHz  A3Z Nuku'alofa, Tonga with traditional village singing. 5X5 report when Australian Sports Radio fades down.
1015z    558KHz  Radio-1 Fiji, Naulu, Fiji, Viti Levu Island with traditional Fijian singing by women and children, no new break at 1000z.  5X5 report.

Very few MW stations remain in the Pacific with most going to the FM band over the years so nice to hear Tonga and Fiji, New Zealand fairly regular here.
