Glenn Hauser logs June 22-23, 2013

** ANTARCTICA [non]. BBCWS special webpage still lacks audio, but Richard Cuff reports it`s elsewhere:

The SWLing.com website has the audio posted here:

Found it here too;http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jhdxLaQjOlY&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DjhdxLaQjOlY

** CHINA. Firedrake June 23:
13795, JBA at 1353 with CCI; was better an hour earlier.

All the rest are CNR1 jammers instead, before 1400 June 23:
13830, poor at 1353; none in the 12s
13920, fair at 1353
13970, poor at 1353; none in the 14s
15115, fair at 1355
15870, poor at 1355
16100, poor at 1355
16360, fair at 1355
16920, JBA at 1356; none in the 17s

** CUBA [and non]. 11860, Sunday June 23 at 1235, `Cuba Campesina`, the best show on RHC, terrific guitar work and criolla songs, a respite from constant anti-American rhetoric, altho the fully fluent SS would find some of that in the lyrix. Also listened an hour later to `En Contacto` DX program on 11860; good thing I did as // 11760 checked at 1349 closing had distorted suppressed audio; wiggle that patchcord! 11760 also had CCCCI from CRI English via Kunming, worse during the first hour, almost equal level to Habana, Commies vs Commies (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. Big sporadic-E opening on 6m per maps across eastern USA, June 23 at 1430 UT but nothing visible on analog VHF TV until:

1509 on 2, fade-in with fútbol, México vs Japón --- but not live from Japan as it`s after midnite, and rather early in the day for Mexico; can`t find a full game listed on any Mexican network in TV Guide, so maybe clip, as faded out quickly. This game axually occurred Saturday at 1900 UT, part of the last-biweek-of-June Copa Confederaciones series, apparently played in Brasil. Seems to peak from south

1534 on 2, another fade-in mixture but including fútbol

1535 on 2, graphic shows Tamaulipas, likely XHTAU Tampico

1536 on 2, ad for Instituto Británico de Monterrey, i.e. XEFB, then Despierta Monterrey, show?

1542 on 2, glimpse of Bob El Esponja, i.e. Televisa net-5

1543 on 2, Azteca net-7 bug UR, 27 degree temp below it, likely XHTAU Tampico

1550 on 3, MUF is poking up here now, Spanish audio. Opening continues in and out, to be continued? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, June 23 at 0101, CRI/Cuba has cut 5990 off late after switch to English, and then R. Chaski carrier cuts off at 0103:21* which is five seconds later than yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TAIWAN [non]. 11835, Sunday June 23 at 1304, very poor signal from presumed weekly PCJ Radio International via SRI LANKA; could almost imagine it was Andy Sennitt`s voice. Could also have been R. Daqui, Brasil, which Jorge Freitas in Bahia was hearing instead of this on 11830. Victor Goonetilleke and Ivo Ivanov say from next Sunday, PCJ shifts a semihour later to 1330-1430, still on 11835. Presumably to escape 11840 AIR Chinese and ChiCom jamming until 1315, but then its adjacent will be VOR Pet/Kam on 11840 from 1400 in Russian per HFCC. Too bad that PCJ has not followed up successful UT Monday 00-01 test on 9925 via Germany to North America with weekly broadcasts to here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1674 monitoring: confirmed on WRN via WRMI webcast, Saturday June 22 after 1730 but inaudible on 9955, which is presumably on the air weekends during the day.

The 2330 Saturday airing on WTWW-2, 9930 was pre-empted for continuing live Field Day telephone call-ins. 9930 cut off at 2400 sharp, just in time for Mighty KBC on 9925, but did not immediately hear it come up on 5085, tho on the air an hour later.

WOR 1674 confirmed on WTWW-1, 5830, UT Sunday June 23 at 0400.5; maybe also Sunday 2330v on 9930.

Updated WOR schedule with some other changes:

And also DX/SWL/Media programs on SW:http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html

** U S A. 12105, Sunday June 23 at 1305, WTWW-3 is on in Russian; seems to have settled down, back closer to published language schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 21630, Saturday June 22 at 1939 the OSOB is WHRI providing an insane gospel huxter screaming incomprehensibly; also with hum, probably from the original audio source. WHR sked shows it`s ``Angel 1`` with Bishop S.C. Johnson & Elder Conrad Campbell (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
