Glenn Hauser logs June 12-13, 2013

** AUSTRALIA. 12085, June 13 at 1350, poor signal in Chinese, i.e. R. Australia on ex-11665. Incomparably stronger in English USward on 12065 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BANGLADESH. 15505, June 13, Bangladesh Betar carrier from *1355:45, 1356:54 tone starts, 1358:40 tone off and hum on, 1358:45 IS plays thrice, 1400:03 timesignal ends and opening Urdu; very poor (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake June 13:
13795, poor at 1223 with CCI, and still at 1311

** CUBA. 6165, June 13 at 0059, RHC open carrier has lo hum, like propeller, but carrier itself is stable. Same situation on 9850 at 1157 check except it`s already modulating (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUAM. 5765-USB, June 13 at 1153, AFN is JBA today after missing yesterday; QRM from stronger Spanish 2-way, too close on the lo side (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. Had the
http://www.ert.gr website up for live video streaming, but had been stalled for a while when I refreshed at 2048 June 12, to find it is now gone. ERT is reported continuing to webcast elsewhere.

15630, June 13 at 0449, ERT is still on here, fair signal in Greek (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. Sporadic-E analog TVDX opening continued from last report, June 12, UT, occasional MUF peaks into channel A2 NTSC:
1821, on 2, ad for something in Spanish
1846, on 2, Gala TV swirl bug in LR during novela; no audio MUF
1920, on 2, +v bug UR, i.e. XEWO Guadalajara; CCI
1940, on 2, a graphic mentioning Guadalajara
2000, on 2, algo still
2048, on 2, net-7 bug UR during drama; dark so maybe movie not novela
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 960, June 13 at 0459 UT tune-in to KGWA Fox-hole, to find it`s totally off the air, so I can hear KGKL TX [see U S A] *0503 KGWA carrier cuts back on: like last night it`s weaker than usual, and easier to null and hear the other stuff even after modulation resumes at 0505. But KGWA still has problems. At 0515 I notice it`s off the air again --- no, it isn`t: the signal meter is full but it`s broadcasting noise and mix of audio; STL failure? A few minutes later it`s again back to normal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, June 13 at 0100, R. Chaski carrier stays on until 0102:28.5* which is six seconds later than yesterday`s four seconds, maintaining an average of five (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TUNISIA [and non]. 17735, June 13 at 0512, open carrier; I can only assume it`s IWT which last time heard went off before 0500 when 7275 was starting up. Checking 7275 now, it`s audible poorly including modulation. 16m is certainly open as far as Wulumuchi in German on 17820 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 15450, June 13 at 1228, very poor signal from VOT, but it`s not playing the usual IS, instead some other repetitive music. Have they changed IS? Or a switching error? 1230 accurate timesignal and opening English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1673 monitoring: first airing confirmed on WRMI webcast at 0330 UT Thursday June 13, and JBA on 9955 at 0348, about equal level to pulse jamming. WRMI repeats are Sat 1500 & 1730, Tue 1100. Next:

Thu 2100.5 on WTWW-1 9479; UT Friday 0330v on WWRB 5050; UT Saturday 0130v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB; Sat 0630 & 1430 on HLR 7265-CUSB; Sat & Sun 2329v on WTWW-2 9930; UT Sun 0400.5 on WTWW-1 5830. Also could appear any time any day after 1800 on 9930 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 12105, June 13 at 0055, WTWW-3 is still off; maybe had been off all day but not checked since morning. WTWW-2 is also off, neither 5085 nor 9930, but WTWW-1 is on, 5830.

12105, June 13 at 1321, now it`s back and in Arabic today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
