Glenn Hauser logs June 14-15, 2009

** BRAZIL. Missed checking last UT Sunday, a week after the first appearance of RNA on 6500 instead of 6185, but June 14 at 0513, it was back on 6185 as usual colliding with and atop XEPPM, nothing but the ute on 6500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake check June 14: around 1330 poor on 9400; at 1351, very poor but detectable on 14420, same at 1355 on 18320 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. RHC was way off schedule UT Sunday June 14, with DXers Unlimited just ending at 0522 on 6140, which means it started around 0505 instead of 0535. Or a permanent change? Also heard Arnie giving a propagation forecast toward the end of the Spanish DX program En Contacto, June 15 at 1346 on 11760. He had been absent from that show for quite a while (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [and non]. 7460 with big blob of noise, not the Cuban kind, atop barely discernible talk, June 15 at 1108; listened harder around 1130 and sounded like Korean underneath. Then looked up in Aoki, the answer: Juche jamming against R. Free North Korea, 11-12, 100 kW, 60 degrees via Tashkent, UZBEKISTAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530 with unholy mix of Kurdish(?) talk and Christian music, both weak, June 15 at 0439. It`s the collision of Denge Mezopotamya via Ukraine, and WYFR in Portuguese, both of which start 11530 at 0400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VIETNAM [non]. 6175 with Mideast-sounding music UT Sunday June 14 at 0514, until some lyrix in Vietnamese appeared, and later announcement in Viet, reassuring us this was just VOV via Sackville (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
