Glenn Hauser logs June 4, 2009

Some items omitted inadvertently from my previous report:

** CANADA [and non]. CFRX still suffers co-channel interference on 6070, from which it is inconceivable that it would ever move; equally inconceivable that RCI at HFCC would lift a finger to protect 6070. Wouldn`t do any good anyway in this case, as the culprit is an outlaw nation, which refuses to participate in HFCC, hardly the worst of its sins: Voice of Korea, per Aoki on 6070 at 0900-1250 in Japanese, with the usual breaks before hourtop, 125 kW at 109 degrees from Kanggye. June 4 at 1156 a fast SAH from this was marring reception of CFRX. Better news in the evening: CVC Spanish via Chile has replaced 6070 with 11665 at 2300-0200 as of June 3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. R. Rebelde, 5025, June 4 at 1156 with subaudible heterodyne of a few Hz. This always makes me suspect that VL8K is stuck here on its daytime frequency instead of 2485; but no 120m reception now to see if 2485 is missing while 2310 and 2325 are not. If it isn`t VL8K under Cuba, what could it be? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PALAU. Thursday June 4 at 1218 as I tuned past 9930 I noted it was in Japanese, and they mentioned `KWHR`, which is the defunct Hawaii station of World Harvest Radio! Apparently this program is just as confused as WHR HQ in South Bend about which station really exists at the moment. Aoki listings show ``Preparing for Jesus`` is indeed scheduled, in Japanese since May 29, on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 1200-1300 from T8WH Koror, 100 kW at 345 degrees. Disregard the WHR schedule in DX Mix News which claims Sound of Hope in Chinese is on at this time. If it were, it would have been jammed. In fact, disregard the entire WHR schedule as presented there as much of it is imaginary (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
