Random Log on 19 Metres

Stations logged using a Tecsun S-2000  linked to 1/4 wave aerial

On 24 March 2016 from 16.00 till 17.00 UTC many transmissions emanating from Africa, Europe, Middle East, South Asia and USA wete observed on the 19 metre band, here in west central Malasia. The Voice of America relayed their programmes across the band from Botswana, Sao Tome and England. Deutsche Welle programming originated from Sri Lanka and UAE. Several international broadcasters relayed their broadcasts from sites outside their country of origin. Radio Cairo continued to send out their over-modulated and indecipherable programming. Surprisingly, WWCR out of Nashville was noted near the end of 19 metre band. And Sound of Hope, the clandestine broadcaster in Taiwan, was heard at both ends of the band. While these stations remain current at this time of logging, much may change on 27 March 2016 when the A16 schedule goes into effect. Until then, tune in and listen to the voices of the world on the 19 metre band. Happy DXing!
