Welcome


Hello and welcome to my blog.

My wife and I relocated to Mangawhai, Northland, New Zealand - just over 100 km north of Auckland in July of 2018. Whilst not as active as I would like to be, this is a record of what I have been hearing.

Tuesday 23 November 2021

A further SW verie

 Another VOA verie from São Tomé. This time on 6080 kHz. They were heard on November 1 2021 at 0605 UTC. 

Saturday 30 October 2021

A Shortwave Verie

 VoA broadcast out of Sao Tome e Principe on 7265. I heard them at 0605 and they were at quite good levels. An e-QSL arrived on Friday.

They all count.

A Shortwave Verie

 Nothing terribly special about this QSL, but it is Radio NZ International heard on 7245 kHz. Thanks to Adrian Sainsbury for the QSL.



Friday 17 September 2021

A Shortwave Verie

 VOA have replied for a report on their transmission on 6080 kHz via Botswana in English. The broadcast was heard on August 10 and the verie received this morning. The address the report was sent to was QSL@usagm.gov



Thursday 2 September 2021

Another Verie

 KSHO 920 kHz in Lebanon, Oregon was heard on August 21 at 0907 UTC, 9.07 pm NZ time. It is a 1 kw station and it poked its head up through the noise for about 20 minutes with a few tunes I was able to identify.

Charlie Eads, President and General Manager was kid enough to verify the report. I also had an email from James Wright, a Marketing Consultant, who had been in NZ for a couple of years as a Mormon missionary: a lovely man and a lovely email.

Friday 27 August 2021

A Verie

 KYNO (940) in Fresno, CA recently swapped frequencies with KFIG (1430). It now booms in to Mangawhai when the conditions are right. I sent a report not expecting much and was delighted to receive a verification from Jim Roberts who has worked in the Fresno radio scene since 1991. He was originally at KFRE 940. I verified KFRE on 940 back in September 1980! Jim's address is:  Jroberts@OnePuttBroadcasting.com

SW Loggings

 I didn't realise it had been so long since last I posted to this blog. Life has been busy, I have had problems with my EWEs and I haven't made the time to listen.

However, in a fit of energetic activity this morning, I decided to have a scan of the SW bands. I began at 1800. It is dark here until 1900. The list below is the result of that.

Some people bemoan the fate of SW now that so many international broadcasters have closed. When I began DXing in 1973, you had international broadcasts from the USSR, Sweden, Norway, Finland, West Germany, Italy, Portugal, Switzerland (used to love listening to Swiss country music), Canada, Australia, the Netherlands and Belgium among many others. Now they are all gone and the bands are flooded with CRI in multiple languages spewing out their world hegemony propaganda. The VOA, as you will see below, seems now destined only for Africa or parts of Asia.  

I was surprised - in an hour of listening I logged nearly 20 different countries. There are one or two stations which I didn't add to the list below.

Who says shortwave is dead!

3320    1805    NTH KOREA Pyongyang BS Fair with martial music and mass choirs. Not a clear signal. SMF 9/8

6040    1831    SAO TOME, VOA poor. Advertised in Shona, but there was EE spoken with an African accent. Horrible woodpecker QRM at 1837. SMF 9/8

6080    1836    BOTSWANA, VOA fair in EE. SMF 9/8

6130    1844    SWAZILAND, TWR audible but poor in Umbundu. SMF 9/8

6165    1845    UAE, TWR Fair in Tigray SMF 9/8

6180    1845    SAO TOME, VOA Fair/ poor in FF. SMF 9/8

7485    1853    SINGAPORE, BBC WS fair in EE. Became noisy as day broke. SMF 9/8

7485    1859    NTH MARIANAS (Tinang) VOA signing on suddenly over the top of the BBC with usual axmnts and Yankee Doodle and then into KK. Fair/ good. Haven't heard this for a long time. SMF 9/8

All of these were heard using a WinRadio G33DDC connected to a 5m EWE antenna pointing NE.

Loggings for May

 Here are my loggings for May

# after the date means I logged this station on the DX League's SDR, also located in Mangawhai. 

It is housed in Bryan Clark's back garden, right on the edge of the Mangawhai lagoon. He has better reception than I. I am about 8km (5 miles) back from the sea.

A new verie and a new country

 Harbour Light of the Caribbean 1400 kHz come in here quite well on occasion. One such night was the 6th May. I received them at 0905 UTC and listened for about half an hour. I sent an email and this morning received a reply from Randy Cornelius the station Director/ Engineer (harbourlight@spiceisle.com). He is doing a great job on the engineering side as we are 13,800 km from Grenada.

It is a very welcome QSL.

Monday 10 May 2021

A verie

 For the past few nights, WJCC 1700 kHz in Miami Springs, FL has come in very well on the League's SDR, with its EWE pointing towards Sth America. It has dominated XEPE, the station normally heard on the frequency.

I sent a report off for reception on May 9 along with a short audio recording to a Mr Alex Saint Surin (alex@radiomega.net) the General Manager.

Within an hour a reply came back. 

Bonjour Mr Forsyth

Vous avez parfaitement raison. Vous avez capté Radio Mega 1700 am émettant de Miami Etats-Unis d’Amérique. 
 Nous émettons en créole, francais et anglais pour une communauté haitienne d’environ 750000 habitants

Merci d’avoir partagé cette information  avec nous

Alex Saint Surin

I am delighted to have it. It joins KBGG, KVNA and WEUV (all logged and verified 2002-2004) on the frequency.

A further new verie

 KZOO 1210 in Honolulu has come back for an April 2020 logging. I sent the report via Messenger and reveid a reply almost a year later. Another welcome verie.

Friday 16 April 2021

A new verie

 KSTN 1420 in Stockton, CA has come back with a verie for a logging on March 30. They were heard with a music program with no sign of the Hawaiian KKEA. I sent the report via their Facebook page and back came the reply just over a week later. I have only just seen it.

Thanks to the people at The Bull 105.9!

Monday 12 April 2021

A new logging

 Conditions have been a bit up and down of late. I recently installed a new EWE pointing more or less south east. as a result I have been hearing some South Americans, particularly in Argentina and Uruguay.

I will post a list of my loggings for April shortly. 

In the meantime I was very pleased to hear Radio Uuruguay last evning broadcasting on 1050 kHz. They were playing a programme of jazz music and at times were heard at quite good levels. There was no sign of the station I normally hear on that frequency, KTCT in California.

I have sent a report off as well as a short recording, so hopefully something may come of it.

Thursday 1 April 2021

A new verie

 A verie has come in from CDNK on 7580. This comes out of Uzbekistan, broadcasts in Korean and is destined for North Korea. The verie was signed by J from the Republic of Korea and the email address was thfskan54@gmail.com

I recorded the programme at 1359 for the opening and it registered S9 here in NZ.

A Shortwave Verie

 There has been a hobby broadcaster on the air in Australia recently - Bay Islands Radio 5045 kHz - licensed, I might add. They are based near the Gold Coast in Queensland.

Shannon is the contact I have and he said he didn't know if they would ever be on air permanently. In the meantime, they are pumping out the sound in the evenings and it is coming in pretty well to Mangawhai. 

I sent a report last evening and back came the verie this morning.  The email address to use is: islandradio88@gmail.com

Thanks to bryan Clark for the info.

Wednesday 10 March 2021

A Shortwave Logging

 This morning (March 10 - UTC time) I had great pleasure in listening to the VoA broadcasting on 11720 kHz at 2100 UTC. The program was destined for West Africa, but appears to have slipped over the continent and gone 3/4 the way round the world to Mangawhai. It was a program of modern popular music. I have sent a report so await a reply with interest. Does the VoA still QSL?

Tuesday 9 March 2021

MW Loggings Early March

 I have had some problems with my EWE antenna and the cable running to it. Thanks to the good services of Paul Ormandy in Oamaru, I have a new cable. I got home fromwork last ngiht, installed the cable only to discover that the aerial didn't work on MW - but it did on SW. Closer investigation revealed that the earth wire had come adrift at one end. Once that was connected, away I went.

What I heard follows. I should point out that the X-Band stations heard on 3/3 were caught on the NZRDXL's Mangawhai SDR, located at the home of my good friend, Bryan Clark.

I am using an AirSpy HF+ Discovery, which seems to work very well. I would like ot be using my WinRadio G33 DDC Excalibur, but alas it is not well and WinRadio want to charge $400+ AUD just to open it up. That's without the courier postage. It was cheaper to buy a new radio - literally. 

The AirSpy HF+ Discovery is a good radio and on the SDR Sharp software performs well. I am not running the latest version (1810), rather the one before - 1790 from memory.

Anyway here are my loggings:

FreqTime UTCDetails
14100831CANADA, CFTE fair but suffered splash from 1413. SMF 9/39/3

I was very pleased to hear the Ecuadorian and the Colombian. They were not dominant, but each had music that was quite distinctive and with the web feed quite identifiable.

Thursday 4 March 2021

A Shortwave Logging

 I had the pleasure of listening to Rádio Nacional da Amazônia's DRM broadcast on March 3rd on the frequency of 11910 at 0213 UTC.

The receiver was the NZRDXL SDR based in Mangawhai, connected to a 5m EWE. It was a very good and clear signal until a thunder storm arrived and then the signal deteriorated badly, unsurprisingly.

I have sent a report and will be interested to see if they reply.

Sunday 28 February 2021

A verification has come in

 KZOO 1210 in Honolulu, HI has been kind enough to reply to my nagging on Facebook Messenger and have verified my report of April 2020.

Thursday 18 February 2021

Loggings for February

 I finally received my new AirSpy HF+ Discovery receiver: good value for $162 USD. The first night was very disappointing - it just didn't work and I was despondent. However, when I went outside I realised that the earth wire had come off the EWE and so the aerial wasn't working! Once it was put back on, it was all systems go.

Highlights of the month have been a couple of nights where overseas stations have come in like locals. XEB 1220 was one such exmple. Radio Felicidad in Lima was another. The last time I heard stations form that part of the world as strong was back in about 2004-5 when at Tiwai we would hear ZNS1 Bahamas at local strength. It was incredible and so were these stations. 

I have not had much opportunity to listen this month due to going back to school. However, that is about to end and so hopefully I will hear a whole lot more shortly.

Meanwhile, the February loggings are posted below. I have not included stations I heard last month as there is no point. 

9400853USA, KFIG Fresno fair with football talk. 6/2 SMF

Saturday 16 January 2021

Mediumwave Loggings

 A very happy New Year to all.

My wife and I have moved into our as yet unfinished home on the hills above and behind Mangawhai. We have spectacular views over the estuary, see and islands. One of the first things I did was to erect a 5m EWE antenna pointing north east towards North America.

My WinRadio Excalibur has broken down and I cannot afford to have it repaired $415 AUD just to have a look at it without mentioning courier charges.

Fortunately my AOR 7030+ has just been repaired and is now working as well as ever. While DXing with a conventional radio has its frustrations, it has proved that is was worth the money I originally paid for it back in 1996!

There is nothing terribly spectacular in this list, but there is quite a lot of it. Conditions have been up and down - noisy some nights and quiet others. The good thing is that there appears to be no electrical interference evident form our house, nor from the neighbour's new house. It has also been interesting that even on evenings where the band has been noisy, the bottom end of the band (530-700) has been pretty quiet.

As a result of my WinRadio going kaputt, I have purchased an AirSpy HF+ Discovery, the arrival of which I am awaiting with bated breath!
