Okay, this will probably boil down to just me participating, but I'm gonna be stuck at home this weekend so I challenge everybody to log as many countries as you can this weekend!
Time: 0000z October 16, 2010 to 0000z October 18, 2010
Bands: All broadcasting bands (longwave, mediumwave, shortwave) just no ham stations.
Logs: post them here in text. Include Country, station, frequency, language, SINPO, date, and time.
List of countries: http://naswa.net/images/NASWA_country_list.pdf
Latest schedules can be found on the combined skeds spreadsheet: S H O R T W A V E S T U F F
Description of SINPO code: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SINPO
Try to be fairly certain that you're hearing what you claim to be hearing. Get the ident at the top or bottom of the hour if possible or at least make sure that the language matches what's on the spreadsheet. Example: I know that I can hear the heterodyne of North Korea on 4450khz in the morning and there isn't anyone else broadcasting on that frequency, but I won't log it unless I can verify that it's Korean I'm hearing.
Also be careful that you're not logging Sweden when you hear Radio Sweden, when in fact it's being re-broadcast from Canada. Or Venezuela when it's being relayed by Cuba.
That's it!
Good luck and have fun!
