Dave Valko 25-26 November Zion PA DX Session, 4 December 2016
25-26 November 2016: Don Moore and his parents were kind enough to host another DX session at his parents home in Zion, PA. Brett Saylor and I joined Don for the night of DX and were not disappointed. Although Don had a number of TAs earlier in the week, almost nothing was showing up the night that we convened for the official session. Instead, LAs were improved. Due to space limitations and to eliminate redundancy, I edited out my MW loggings here. However, you can view our loggings, info, pictures, and also listen to some of our recordings on Brett's Zion DX session website at http://www.radiodxing.com/zion2016/zion2016.html I want to point out that loggings continue to be added as the SDR recordings are being reviewed. Besides Bretts webpage, you can also watch a short video made during the DX session posted on Youtube at https://youtu.be/wGeU46dOJdc Please have a look.

4920 USA UNID. Getting a spur or something here at 1419. I thought it was 5015 WRMI at this time but it wasn't // later. Could be a harmonic of my lcl stn WCRO on 1230. Didn't think to check. (Valko 4 Dec.)

15140 OMAN R. Sultanate of Oman 1449 Pop/Dance mx, 1451 M in EG w/song anmnt then tlk about European Soccer sounding almost like a NA Pirate. Strong but low modulation. (Valko 4 Dec.)

15124 MALI CRI (relay) 1608 found 1 khz off-freq w/tlk by M in AR, then Pop-like orchestral vcl mx. M returned 1611. Poor to fair and fady. A video of the reception can be found at https://youtu.be/Y4TxNYrP2Cg (Valko 4 Dec.)
6150 PIRATE (NA) R. Iluminati While watching the band in the display, saw this come on w/OC at 1630:40, then nice ID/IS routine of IDs over beginning of "Bitter Fingers" by Elton John played over and over. 1634-1637 "Soul and Inspiration" by The Righteous Brothers. 1637-1639 started "Bend Me, Shape Me" but was having trouble with the signal going off. 1639 "Love Is All Around" by The Troggs. Second only to 6070 CFRX in strength. Good strength and nice audio. S9+10 at 1641. A pleasant coincidence I was tuned to the band when this came on.

15170 CLANDESTINE V.O. the Oromo Liberation (pres.) Found a white noise jammer on 15165 at 1658 t/in, but there was nothing else on the freq. Carrier came on 15170 at 1659, then HoA flute mx at 1700 followed by poss. M anncr, but the signal was too weak and the jammer was splashing up on the freq. At 1702, the jammer suddenly jumped up on 15170 making it completely useless. (Valko 4 Dec.)

7146.55 ERITREA V.O, Broad Masses of Eritrea Finally in the clear of Ham QRM w/M anncr interviewing M remotely. 1812 into nice HoA mx w/vcl by child.

Comes up really quickly around 1800. Amazing that this was totally clear the entire time from 1810 to s/off. (Valko 4 Dec.)
7175 ERITREA V.O. Broad Masses of Eritrea Couldn't find this earlier probably because of all the Ham xmsns, but noted at 1824 after changing laptop batteries. Nice signal. Interesting that the plug was pulled on this and 7146.55 at the same time at 1835:32. (Valko 4 Dec.)
