Shortwave Logs From Fort Worth, TX for 02/15/15

Country in brackets is the transmitter site and not  necessarily the 
country of origin, unless specified.  If two countries are in brackets, 
first one is transmitter site. After that, the date, time and frequency
in kHz is listed. All times in UTC and all stations heard on TECSUN 
PL-380 portable in Fort Worth, Texas, USA, with 25 foot reel wire 
antenna, on a first floor, unless otherwise noted.











[RWANDA/GERMANY] 02/15/15, 1828, 17800 khz -- Deutsche Welle
from Kigali, Rwanda, in Hausa language. Two males talk on unknown
subject. Decent signal for daytime, considering this is coming from 
East Africa. Listened for about five minutes. SINPO 33233.

[USA] 02/15/15, 1842, 15610 khz -- EWTN (Catholic) Radio transmitting
from Vandiver, Alabama. "Vatican Insider" program with female announ-
cer. Strong, clear signal with a little noise, as typical for this frequency. 
SINPO 44344

[CUBA] 02/15/15, 1845, 11635 -- Atencion Cuba spy station with short
set of numbers being read in Spanish by female ("tres, dos, ocho, 
siete, siete"), followed by data-like sounds for several seconds, then
more numbers, and so on. SINPO 45454, good signal. It seems like
Cuban spy activity hasn't slowed down since the beginning of thawed
relations with the US.

[USA] 02/15/15, 1858, 15825 -- Religious talk by male, then station ID
and new show at top of hour (Dr. James Blank [sp?]). Male prays while

  1. Hi! Fellow 37 year old SWL in Dallas, looking to get back in the hobby. Do you know of any decent local stores where I could go look at the radios? My Grundig receiver died and with Radio Shack going out of business and Fry's not looking too good, I don't know where I could go to check them in person. Thanks!

  2. Hi, Murumo,

    Unfortunately, I don't know of anywhere you can go in person (other than the now-disappearing Radio Shack). I always get my stuff online.

  3. I heard a strange broadcast earlier today in Oregon. They sounded Asian I don't know if Vietnamese but it was 3 people talking over each other all three saying different things in the same language. With music playing. I am only listening on a Grundig S350DL I am in sort of a Forest area in Oregon near some logging mills. It was on or near 4287 SW1
