SRI LANKA: SLBC noted on 9770 at 0130z 29 March 2010
SRI LANKA - SLBC, 9770, 29 March 2010, 0130 - 0145 and beyond. SINPO
= 14321. Discussion by YL and occasional OM possibly in EE, punctuated with musical selections typical of subcontinent. Signal modest but worth a try, maybe worth a reception report (if they ever respond :-/ Bruce Jensen California, United States |

However, after following your sage advice, I now and the proud owner of a Deutsche Welle - Trincomalee QSL card; so life ain't all bad ;-) Bruce Jensen |

Either they are greatly undermodulated or else the sidebands were somehow being attenuated in the ether while the carrier came on through. If this station had the same level of audio most anyone else has with this signal level, it would have been armchair copy. Anyway, couldn't stick around long enough to wait for improvement - my offspring was in a HS band concert this evening, and he gets priority :-) Bruce Jensen |

Last night I heard a YL early followed by almost 1/2 hour of instrumental music then a preacher in English until about 0145UT then a YL again with what sounded like an address in Sri Lanka given. Fade out after 0155UT. Could it be SLBC is carrying TWR? Or is it just a religious broadcaster camped out there. The only thing listed on 15745 is SLBC. Could not compare to 9770 since Turkey was on the frequency. I know Thailand was propagating on this band. They were s9+10db on 15275 from 0000 to 0028UT. Maybe you wil have better luck being on the west coast. If we get a repeat in propagation you should have reception through to 0200UT and maybe you can get a positive ID. Good DXing Jim |

They are strong here. See next post.... Jim |

Good DXing Jim Interesting - SLBC has been a religious broadcaster, so what you heard is consistent with that history. I have heard SLBC on 19 meters before, and it usually resembles what you describe. I will try 15745 this evening if I get a chance. 0155 is about then the 9770 channel died two nights ago. If the 9770 carried Turkey beginning at 0100, I guess it could have been them (I did not get the new A10 skeds for other languages yet). The deadish carrier would be consistent with VoTurkey. Thanks!

Bruce Listened for Sri Lanka on 15745. Transmitter came on for 30 seconds at 0102UT. Off then on again at 0110UT. Appeared to be just a carrier or signal was too weak for audio to be heard. Carrier weakened and the band looked pretty dead so gave up at 0140UT. Jim |

Carrier weakened and the band looked pretty dead so gave up at 0140UT. Jim Heh - my experience sort of matches yours - I tuned in at about 0055 - heard a *faint* carrier on 15747.1, which then gave out completely at 0102, then not a peep thereafter...dead for several minutes (probably 5 minutes). This was well before sunset - so I took a 1-hour bike ride to just before local sunset, came back and lo! a weak carrier spot on 15745 at about 0215, just before local sunset. I listened for several minutes, but only rarely did I hear a snippet of voice on LSB/ USB, always male. I gave up after about 0240 when the carrier became even weaker and no more voice was audible at all. ....and that's all she wrote! Bruce |
