Glenn Hauser logs September 5-6, 2014

** ARGENTINA. 11710.46 approx., Sept 6 at 0136, RAE weak in Japanese, without QahiraRM, and closer to nominal 11710 than usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 2749-USB, Sept 6 at 0149, very poor talk, marine weather, presumably scheduled VAR-3 for Fundy NS, but from where, exactly? Starts at 0140 and next one on shared frequency not until 0240 from Halifax, VCS-2, per

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 9965, Sept 6 at 0125, R. Cairo, whine, good signal, Arabic not distorted

9315, Sept 6 at 0129, R. Cairo, fair signal but JBM presumed Spanish, hi whine

11710, Sept 6 at 0136, R. Cairo Spanish still off, clear for ARGENTINA

12070, Sept 6 at 0138, R. Cairo, good signal with hum, extremely distorted Spanish, music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. 9790, Sept 6 at 0126, Qur`an, good with flutter, better than 9860 Spanish, or Turkey 9770. This is VIRI Kazakh service via Sirjan; would be just as good on // 11820 were it not for heavy splash from the BS on 11825 WRMI.

9860, Sept 6 at 0126, VRII Spanish service is open carrier/dead air, or maybe just barely modulated with some rhumble, while // 12025 is nominal, fair in Spanish. Same situation at rechex 0137, 0151 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OMAN. 15140, Sept 6 at 0143, VP signal with talk, music, presumed RSO as it`s missing from 9500 and alternate 15355 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 12105, Sept 5 at 2038 check, WTWW still has BS on 12105 instead of 9930. I wonder if Walterboro knows? Still same at 0133 Sept 6, but signal now fading down to only fair (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 13554-CW, Sept 6 at 0140, HIFER beacon AZ, from Oro Valley AZ, is barely audible, which is all it takes, sending AZ about 18 times per minute. Previous info attaches this to ham KF7A;

Oro Valley, AZ 85737 USA

His QRZ.com info says he is mainly interested in 3-4 watt QRP on 30 m, but nothing about this beacon. I was hoping for the mystery voice comms from Alpha One Alpha on 13555, but nothing tonight until 0153 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1735 monitoring: yes, 1735, two-week-old show appeared Friday Sept 5 at 2130 on WRMI 7570 & 15770, compensating for latest show 1737 instead of week-old 1736 at new time Thursday 2330 on 11580. This week, 7570 much better than 15770 here, and improving more by 2200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7555, Sept 6 at 0147, KJES is on with kid in English reciting rote devotionals; first time heard in at least a week, usually off during scheduled sesquihour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
