Default Vacation Logs - 06/13/09

Ah, the first day of my two week vacation. Listening to the radio is
my biggest goal for the next two weeks...


R. Kuwait, Kuwait, 13620 at 1735 UTC in Arabic. ME music. Sio-434,
best in USB to avoid WYFR on 13615. (Bryant – KY, E1, June 13)


R. Japan, via UAE, on 13740 at 1743 UTC in Japanese. Soft-voiced YL in
Japanese, US pop songs being sung in Japanese. SIO-343, target =
MEast. (Bryant – KY, E1, June 13)


CVC Int'l, via Lusaka, Zambia, on 13590 at 1750 UTC in English. US pop
mx, M announcer w/ Australian accent, asking everyone for help in
stomping out cholera. SIO-342, lots of noise. (Bryant – KY, E1, June

R. Kuwait, Kuwait, on 11990 at 1800 signing on in English. Time pips,
M w/ ID & other s/on announcements, including that the EE program will
