TA LOGGING
On the 25th December between midnight and 1am I picked up WEGP on 1390 Khz from Presque Isle, Maine USA. It's a 25kw outfit so not a bad catch from eastern England (Newmarket). At best the signal was a 14312 although there were regular fades to nothing lasting several minutes. Also caught a hint of VOCM on 590 Khz from St Johns, Canada- one I used to hear quite a bit when I lived in Wales. I wonder if WEGP is a commonly received station in Europe? Nice clear channel at that time of night.
Regards, and all the very best for 2009, Giles Merritt (29/12-2008)

One good tip to offer from Newfoundland is Tajikstan on 972 kHz, VOA's R. Aap Ki Dunyea broadcast to Pakistan. Noted with a pre-sign-on announcement at 0050 with contact info for VOA, then on with VOA ID and Yankee Doodle signature at 0100. All in Urdu language,
as far as I know. Listed as 500 kW from Orzu.

Re item of May 20th: The Orzu transmitter is a Thales/Thomcast (or whatever they are
this week) and was new on install in Orzu, not a move from anywhere else.
