Glenn Hauser logs March 25-27, 2014

** ALASKA. 9615, March 26 at 1251, `Creation Moments` anti-science nonsense, fair signal in English from KNLS as per ID at 1252, music by the Naughty Boys featuring Sam Smith, with la-la-la and clips of others --- o, this is just a promo: ``new music from your New Life Station, KNLS``; 1254 more music and wrapup with English schedule as 9615 at 10 & 12, 9655 at 15, then ``Hey, Brother``.

All this will change March 30 for A-14, HFCC registered for English: 08, 10 and 12 on 11870; 12 also on 7355; 14 on 11765 --- but we`ll be surprised if this schedule prove accurate (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BANGLADESH. 15505, March 26 at 1355, BB with open carrier, then tone; 1358 IS; timesignal ending at 1359:42, only 18 seconds fast; just barely audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 13530, March 25 at 1348-1400*, CNR1 on fair signal, a traditional Sound of Hope jamming frequency. No others noted, but not thoroly searched (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11760, March 25 at 1924, RHC English is audible at modulation spikes only, mostly dead air; wiggle that patchcord!

15230, March 27 at 0236, good signal, one of best on band, except RHC is just barely modulated, plus periodic noise bursts.

11840, March 27 at 0237, RHC modulation also suppressed here, but not so bad as 15230, and still readable; tho why would one listen to this instead of loud & clear // 11760, or even less loud and less clear 11670? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EQUATORIAL GUINEA [non]. 9955, March 25 at 1333, `Viva Miami` on WRMI has Jeff White mentioning that R. Africa Network is on 9840 at 04-08, but from 30 March that will change to 15190. Yes, HFCC A-14 shows WRMI registered on 15190 straight thru from 21 to 08 UT. Another nail in the coffin of R. Africa = Bata. The 04-08 transmission consisting of nothing but Brother Scare one might assume is just an RMI transmission but it`s apparently a sub-lease via RAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FRANCE [and non]. 11995, March 25 at 0559, ~5 Hz SAH between two colliders, but should only have been brief, as VOA Kurdish via Biblis, GERMANY is ending, and RFI Hausa via Issoudun is starting, with 3-pip timesignal, ID, and then alone a poor signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUATEMALA. 4055, March 26 at 0556, R. Truth with multilingual IDs and contact info, pre-sign/off, going from Swedish to Japanese (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 9526-, Tuesday March 25 at 1336, VOI is JBM with heavy ACI from 9530, and also a lite het from something on 9525 during the presumed `Exotic Indonesia` Tuesday show with RRI Banjarmasin. Are they still doing that? Haven`t been able to hear it for months, and still unusable. In A-14 we look forward to the China radio war vacating 9530, but RVA Sinhala will still be on 9520 from 1330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [non]. 11975, March 25 at 0600, NHK opening Arabic with ID, typical sounders, news, poor. This is via Issoudun, FRANCE, like RFI on 11995 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17775, March 25 at 1350 UT, KVOH is in well, DJ giving time check of ``10 para las 11 en el Pacífico``!! Is he looking at the wrong clock on the old studio wall? Or is it really not live? PDT is 6:50 am, and 10:50 am would be ADT, or, say, Argentina (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 11870, March 26 at 0552, WEWN Spanish is just barely modulated, while the whine continues; 11520 English with OK modulation.

12050, March 26 at 2049, WEWN Spanish with suppressed modulation, occasional surges; like somewhere in the audio chain, stereo channels are out of phase in mixdown to mono; unusable (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 730, March 26 at 1319 UT, ``Full Service Radio, KLOE`` IDs twice during regional newscast from Goodland KS in the NW corner. Seldom heard in the clear like this, except some splat from 740 KRMG Tulsa; then at 1320 UT, Korean QRM fades up from KKDA in The Metroplex (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12160-12195, peaking around 12170, March 26 at 1305, extremely distorted FMy spurblob, seems oriental language, not // CNR1. Nothing is scheduled above 12160 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
