Glenn Hauser logs August 2, 2015


** AUSTRALIA. 15240, August 2 at 0530, RA in silly ballgame involving Newcastle and/or the Dragons, // much better 17840 which is the strongest signal on band (SSOB); both of which were again absent 4 hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11815, August 2 at 0523 tune-in, immediate ID for Rádio Brasil Central, TC for 2:22, back to music. No crackling spur circa 11814 from RNA/RNB 11780; instead the fundamental is splashing out to ~20 kHz, far enough away from RBC.

11855, August 2 at 0526, R. Aparecida, poor with 2:26 timecheck (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 13920, August 2 at 1247, CNR1 jammer in drama, poor with flutter; none in the 12s, 14s, 16s, 17s, but about same poor level on 15250 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 13850, August 2 at 0528, R. Cairo good in Arabic but suptorted (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FRANCE [non]. 17660, August 2 at 1253, JBA signal; could it be CNR8 revived domestic Korean service? No, improves marginally so I can tell it`s in French, and off after 1300, so per HFCC it`s RFI at 12-13, double registered via two different sites, MADAGASCAR and SOUTH AFRICA, both with 250 kW servicing exactly the same CIRAFs, at 305 and 342 azimuths respectively. EiBi and Aoki both go with Madagascar (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 6185-, August 2 at 0534, XEPPM carrier still on after 0500v* sign-off, slightly on the lo side as ever (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PHILIPPINES. 11870, August 2 at 1328, R. Veritas Asia with YL English ID twice as 11.870 MHz on the 25 meter band, Hindi to follow at 1330; poor signal with music background, 1330 clarion call and into Hindi. Thus begins a sesquihour in Hin/Ben/Zom per HFCC registrations, the last shifting from 300 to 280 degree beam. Zom??? Aoki unlists the latter, but EiBi transforms it to C-Z, which per his README.TXT is: ``C-Z Chin-Zomin / Zomi-Chin: Myanmar (60,000), India-Manipur (20,000) [zom]`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SUDAN [non]. 13800, August 2 at 0527, fast SAH as R. Dabanga is QRMing itself during site transition from MADAGASCAR to VATICAN: at least only one of them is modulating, the other OC. Modulated one continues after other carrier cuts off at 0527.5*. And no Sudanese carriers jamming this time on the hi side (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
