There currently is no shortwave broadcasting from Mozambique, the shortwave transmitters were decommissioned in 2001. At any rate, it would be kind of difficult for 3280 to propagate to N. America at that time from Mozambique... China and Ecuador also use the frequency. Steve Holland, MI Drake R7, R8 and R8B http://www.iserv.net/~n8kdv/dxpage.htm |

The language was Portugese and my current database didn't show it as being
inactive. Showed current. I didn't see any other listing for that frequency either. Not in any of the databases. Didn't get a definate ID though, signal was very weak. However I will go listen to it again I did record it. Maybe I can get more the second time around. -- 73's Rick "N8KDV" wrote in message ... Rick wrote: Radio Mocambique 3.280 Signal strength fair.

That's so odd, none of the databases I use show anything but that Radio
Mocambique on that frequency. They've all been updated as well. What is your source? I have one more question, it's about one of your receivers. What do you think of the R7 Do you like it as well as the R8 or R8B? -- 73's Rick "N8KDV" wrote in message ... N8KDV wrote: Rick wrote: Radio Mocambique 3.280 Signal strength fair.

What is your source? Multiple sources. I have one more question, it's about one of your receivers. What do you think of the R7 Do you like it as well as the R8 or R8B? I like the R7 when in a real tough dx'ing situation. I like the true pass-band tuning, and the IF notch. The audio at times leaves a bit to be desired. But in a crunch, it's the receiver of choice. I have the 8, 6, 4, 3 and 2.3 kHz filters installed. -- 73's Rick "N8KDV" wrote in message ... N8KDV wrote: Rick wrote: Radio Mocambique 3.280 Signal strength fair.

At any rate, as I stated before, it would be rather odd for 3280 to propagate from Mozambique at that hour, the whole of Africa is in daylight, and the terminator is over the mid-Atlantic at that time.
