Glenn Hauser logs May 22-23, 2015


** ALBANIA. 9850, May 23 at 0128, R. Tirana, good with its own low audible het (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 12070, May 23 at 0058, R. Cairo is open carrier/dead air, except for some hum, on good signal

11935, May 23 at 0058, R. Cairo also open carrier/dead air here: usually one of them mods something; ACI bleed from 11930 Cuban jammer against nothing

9315, May 23 at 0058, R. Cairo fair in music, Spanish, suptorted

9965, May 23 at 0059, R. Cairo, VG in Arabic, modulation mildly suppressed but not very distorted, plus whine (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. 11890, May 23 at 0127, bit of Qur`an, then talk in presumed Kazakh from VIRI as scheduled 5 degrees from Sirjan at 0120-0220; poor (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 780, May 23 at 0122 UT, no signal from KSPI, 250 watt daytimer in Stillwater, which doesn`t have to go off until 0130 UT in May; 0145 UT in June and July. Yet another anomaly from this station. And no WBBM has faded in yet (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, May 23 at 0056, JBA carrier from R. Chaski with traces of modulation, until autocutoff at 0112:17*, which is 18.5 seconds later than three nights ago at 0111:58.5*, averaging 6.17 later per (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** ROMANIA. 7335, May 23 at 0100 tune in to RRI opening Romanian hour, including ``ora exacta`` (with a breve over the last a), but the 5 pips don`t end until 0100:30, exactly one semiminute late, so here`s another unexpected mistimesignal station (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH AFRICA. Correxion to previous log, 7285, not 7185 (tnx, Ron Howard): 3320, May 22 at 0450, R. Sonder Grense is still in with poor signal in Afrikaans; by 0459, it`s upped to 7285 with fair signal, evidently news already started, defaulting to English for the expression ``corrupt officials`` of which I gather there are plenty in RSA, but not to be expressed in Afrikaans? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SRI LANKA. 11905, May 23 at *0114.16.5 SLBC VP carrier on; 0114:58.5 music starts; 0115:19.5 the 2+1 mistimesignal ends (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
