Glenn Hauser logs June 25, 2013

** CHINA. Firedrake [non], CNR1 jamming, June 25 before 1200:
13530, fair at 1153
13830, poor at 1153 with echo
13920, fair at 1153
13970, fair at 1153; none in the 12s or 14s, 16s, 17s or 8s
15250, poor at 1153 with het, SSOB in otherwise almost-dead band

Before 1400 June 25:
13970, fair at 1335; none in the 12s
14700, poor at 1335
15900, poor at 1336
16920, very poor at 1336
17250, poor at 1336

** CUBA. 14375, June 25 at 0457, big open carrier: I bet it`s Cuban number station, with an RHC (-like?) 250 kW transmitter, altho an unfamiliar frequency. Yes: at 0502, Spanish 5-digit YL numbers are underway. Searching UDXF yg gets only one hit on frequency this year:

``14375.0 ---: Cuban DGI CUB 06:40 H3E/DSB RDFT/120/4600 SS coded messages and RDFT modem traffic (30 Apr)(PPA)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 15340, June 25 at 1335, RHC signal atop HCJB, but distorted modulation at peaks only, unusable: wiggle that patchcord!

11760, June 25 at 1339, RHC is off this frequency but still on 11750, 11690. At 1340, RHC carrier is back on 11760.

Meanwhile on 11760, two other signals mixing. Only CRI English in HFCC, but Aoki shows also Sound of Hope 300 kW from Taiwan, which should surely provoke jamming too, regardless of CRI.

11860, the fourth 25mb frequency of RHC, June 25 at 1339 also with defective modulation at peaks only, but not as bad as 15340 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 13840-13860, June 25 at 0500, the terribly defective R. Cairo Abis transmitter on 13850, aimed 315 degrees toward North America, with very distorted music including `Big-Ben` chimes, but also putting spurs plus and minus 10 kHz, audible out to 13 kHz away. Bad news for R. Farda via Lampertheim, Germany on 13860, totally blocked, and R. Japan, French via Madagascar upcoming at 0530 on 13840 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, June 25 at 0102, R. Chaski with bits of talk modulation until cut off at 0103:32*, which is 5.5 seconds later than yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
