[R-390] A couple good R-390a loggings including Tibet.

[Phil Atchley]

Good Morning.

I thought that I'd forward this log to the list as it includes a couple
stations not often heard here.  Guess it took an R-390a to pull them =
out.
=20
This morning Asia was coming in well, as it usually does here on the =
left
coast in the morning 8^)  Anyway, a couple stations made it into the =
logbook
that might be of interest. =20

1430 UTC, 9465 KHz, KFBS Saipan, In Russian with a Male speaker.  SINPO
35333.  For some reason not a "regular" here though it "should" be.

1436-1454 UTC, 9490 KHz, Tibet Peoples Broadcasting Service, Lhasa, =
Tibet
(China), Some very pretty vocal music with mostly Female singers, =
totally
different from the typical Chinese music.  Female announcer.   SINPO =
25332
with total fade into the noise at 1454 UTC.  Rarely heard here this =
well.

    NOTE:  I also checked this last logging on the Yaesu VR-5000 with =
DSP.
At first, with the DSP on it was a 'little' clearer than the R-390 but =
it
was lost in the noise significantly sooner than it was on the R-390A.
