Tropical Band Loggings for Sept. 23: Indonesia & Japan
INDONESIA 2960, 1354-1405, RPDT2 Manggarai Sep 23 Probable. Two women in
discussion or interview at 1354; heard one of the women exclaim 'That's the way it is! Talk to me, baby!' in English, and then return to Indonesian talk. Light folk music from 1358 to 1404, then talk by woman announcer; too weak of a signal for ID. Poor level, with occasional peaks to fair. Best on NW Beverage. (Atkins-WA) JAPAN 3970 USB, 1413-1421, NHK Unid. Outlet Sep 23 Two men in discussion in Japanese to instrumental music 1418; mentions of 'NHK' 1421. Fair to good signal with some ham radio QRM. Most likely the 600 watt Sapporo station rather than the further south and weaker Nabeta transmitter. (Atkins-WA) NOT SHORTWAVE, BUT...this week has been another interesting one for trans-Pacific MW DX during the fall equinox period. Japanese and Korean stations continue to be audible on my NW antenna in the few minutes before local dawn (1355 UTC). On Tuesday, JOAK Tokyo on 594 and JOUB Akita 774 were the strongest, while JOQR Tokyo on 1134 has consistently put in the best high band signal.

re 2960 IND - Its very hard to get anything down so low on the band.
It's over 8,000 miles from you and only 300 watt power - very nice catch.

Nice catch there Steve - it amazes me how you QSL them with local stamps and
in the local language - who gives you that stuff? The only thing I get low down the band occasionally is 2310 Khz ABC "Territory R." Alice Springs. Last catch I got on a DXpedition that far down was: Frequency Time Date Mode Language Station Town Country Power QTH 3,395.00 2311 01/03/13 AM VV RRI TANJUNG KARANG INDONESIA 10 ARN1 -- John Plimmer, Montagu, Western Cape Province, South Africa South 33 d 47 m 540 s, East 20 d 07 m 541 s.
