YouTube video highlights of the DXpedition are here

This was our eighth year of mini-DXpeditions in Zion, and the first time since 2009 that all three of us had the opportunity to DX together. Don and Brett set up antennas the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, then Dave joined on Friday for a night of live DXing. Conditions on Wednesday favored trans-Atlantic reception, but then the indices spiked as seen in the graph above and the receptions turned to the south featuring an abundance of Colombians, Venezuelans, and of course Cubans.

Recordings are still being analyzed, so these logs will grow over time; check back later to see more of what we heard. Two weeks after the DXpedition the totals were: 25 TA's, 98 LA's and 78 domestics.

820 COLOMBIA, HJAD R. Vigia (p), Very distorted audio of the USB; 0006-0010 w/tlk by M in what sounded like SP sounding like a nx or press pgm w/ment of Cuba. W at 0020. Really distorted mx at 0057. Hrd a number of other times. Fairly strong at 0714 w/what sounded like lively LA mx, then an ID between songs at 0715:50. Possible mention of Bolivar (Cartagena is capital of Bolivar department). The ID has 3 syllables sounding like "R. Botita" but think it's Vigia given the syllable count and Spanish pronouncation. Vigia was heard earlier in the year but up on 820.18. Another anmnt between songs at 0827 but just can't copy. Last hrd the signal at 1005.  The technical standards are clearly very crappy and this is a Todelar station. Don didn't log this particular station while he was in Colombia, but most of the Colombian stations he heard there that were distorted and/or off frequency were Todelar stations. So that fits. (26 Nov)

820 CUBA, R. Ciudad la Habana, Lively LA mx at 2328. 2330 M anncr w/ment of Cuba. Signature melody along w/canned ID w/FM and AM freqs by M, then ID w/segment intro including "Number one radio show". Dance mx. ID again 0015 and later at 0500. QRM from WCPT and WNTW. (25-26 Nov)

840 CUBA, R. Revolucion (p), Mostly W anncr w/ments of Cuba between 2335-0006. Presumed to be the second Cuban mostly under CMHW. Same W again after song at 0043 w/ment of Cubano. 0550 tlk by M and W over soft instru. piano mx w/ment of Santiago de Cuba, Fidel Castro. 0554 tlk by diff.

850 VENEZUELA Valencia RV 850 (p), 0159-0200.  Faded up with mention of Venezuela followed by what sounded like "Estacion Ocho Cincuenta". Will send recording of this to Venezuelan DXers and see what they think. (Nov 25)

860 CUBA, R. Reloj 0111 time ticks, 1 tick, and CW "R". Too weak and too much QRM for voice audio. 0424 finally audible w/ID by W and nx. Hrd again at 0616 when CJBC faded out. (26 Nov)

860 MEXICO, UNID. 0501 very end of XE national anthem and immediately into another (possibly state) anthem. (26 Nov)

870 UNID 0659-0703 Someone here mixing with WWL and the Cubans with romantic Spanish ballads. Not Reloj and Rebelde. Maybe Venezuela. Format would also fit Besame in Ibague, Colombia.  (Nov 26)
