Glenn Hauser logs August 9-10, 2015

** CUBA. 820, Aug 10 at 0135, harmonious duet in Spanish, as good as WBAP which must be in a fade, on the NRD-545 and fixed N-S wire antenna, but better than on PL-880 which I can rotate to null WBAP. Then ``that Cuban sound`` M&W announcers in scripted text, mentioning Cuba. Meanwhile, not // 4765 Progreso or 5025 Rebelde, which is to be expected since uplooked later the closest 820 Cuban is R. Ciudad de la Habana, 10 kW CMBU in Arroyo Arenas; however, there are two Radios Progreso also listed further on 820 in Ciego de Ávila, and way off in Moa, Holguín. Axually, WRTH 2015 lists *two* Radios Progreso on 820 both in Ciego de Ávila, CMIB and CMBC; all 10 kW except Moa 1 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9545-9550, Aug 10 at 0123, buzzing noise I think is coming out of 9535 RHC transmitter which sounds OK but undermodulated as usual on fundamental. The buzz ``modulation`` seems to correlate with peaks on the 9535 modulation. Also on the lo side 9525-9520, but obscured by splash from 9520 Romania. Also some pulse jamming around 9530 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 12070, August 10 at 0116, R. Cairo, S9+ but just barely modulated, distorted presumed Spanish

11935, August 10 at 0116, R. Cairo only S4 here, but modulation sounds about the same as 12070

9315, August 10 at 0117, R. Cairo, S9 but sounds weaker than 12070, JBM and distorted

9965, August 10 at 0117, R. Cairo, S9+25 with whine in Arabic, JBM but not very distorted (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDIA. 9635, Aug 10 at 0120, poor S5 signal with ME? music, as good as Brasil 9630 altho I usually don`t hear anything on 9635. HFCC has registered: AIR via Aligarh, 250 kW, 282 degrees in Sindhi at 0045-0200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6955-USB, Aug 10 at 0143, heavy beat music, S8 peaks, DJ talks over music but no ID made out, more music, techno; 0152 another talkover, ``live from the bunker, just like in the old days``, autotune. This thread says it was R. Free Whatever:
on as early as 0058, and until 0228* but I was not hearing anything in an earlier pirate bandscan around 0110.

6925.1-AM, Aug 10 at 0147, JBA signal from another presumed pirate. At 2210 Aug 9 on 6925.16, Liquid Radio was reported:
And much later logs closer to mine at 0133 and 0205 assumed it was still the same (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, August 10 at 0103, R. Chaski carrier is JBA in storm noise level tho none nearby here, so I stand by for the calculated cutoff, 7 days later than last check when it was at 0104:06*. 6 seconds later per day = 42 seconds later in a week, so should be circa 0104:48 tonight. No, it really autochops at 0104:46.5*, i.e. averaging only 5.8 seconds later per, which is close to what it used to be, ~5.83 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SRI LANKA. 11905, August 10 at *0114:12, carrier on from SLBC, very poor. Musical prélude starts at 0114:46.5; 2+1 mistimesignal ends at 0115:11, opening in presumed Hindi (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9870, Aug 10 at 0118, S8, VOT in Spanish talking about R. Serbia Internacional, and R. Habana Cuba revamped website: must be their DX program. // 9770 slightly strong S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
