Glenn Hauser logs September 30-October 1, 2015


** BANGLADESH. 15505, Sept 30 at 1400:09, 5+1 mis-timesignal ends introducing Bangladesh Betar`s Urdu service; a little stronger today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 15430, Sept 30 at 1506, Chinese good at S9+20 with soft music, CNR1 jammer instead of RFA Chinese via Saipan this hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [non]. 7210-LSB, Sept 30 at 1252, anti-Castro ranter Nelson Roig, N1NR presumably still in Pensilvania, lecturing on tecnología (or the lack of it) in Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 9420, Sept 30 at 0542, VOG with news in Albanian?, 0544 music interlude, fair with flutter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MALI. 17630, Sept 30 at 1502, I go after the CRI English Bamako relay as scheduled, and all I get is a JBA carrier. No wonder we can hear nothing of it during previous hour when CRI English is also on 17630, aimed toward Europe and beyond from Urumqi, East Turkistan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 760, Sept 30 at 1235, R. Geny ID after some music, as KCCV is taking over from XENY Nogales, Sonora (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SUDAN SOUTH [non]. 15550, Sept 30 at 1504, Arabish talk about Sudan, R. Tamazuj ID in passing, S9+ good signal but with CCI from WJHR in Florida on USB only; evitable by switching to LSB tuning, but WJHR cannot avoid the sesquihour clash via VATICAN --- who`s managing these frequencies, anyway? Not that ANYONE wants to listen to another dead gospel huxter, John Hill`s Radio. // 15150 via MADAGASCAR is much weaker (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, Sept 30 at 1346, WRMI `Viva Miami` in Spanish this time, Jeff & Thaïs White talking about their visit to KVOH in California, apparently on their way to New Zealand last month, but this may mean that they are finally back and producing new programs. Among other things, the Zambia SW station will be remotely operated from studio at HQ in California; still working on getting the 100 kW Harris on the air at KVOH itself (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17775, fair, Sept 30 at 1500, KVOH opening `Voz de Restauración` from Valle de San Fernando. That of course, was the former owner of the whole station, now on the sked only Wed & Thu 15-16 with two different preachers. 

Hadn`t looked at the whole KVOH sked lately, now updated as of Aug 24, and I see some changes for the 9975 evening English: 01-02 UT Sunday, `CBS Radio Mystery Theatre`; 0100-0130 UT Monday, `Unshackled` --- both seem like fillers. Why not another DX program somewhere in there? Anyhow, the sacred-soccer show is gone. *also Mutual Radio News at 01, 02 and 03 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7505-, Oct 1 circa 0115, quick check while recording WORLD OF RADIO 1793 finds WRNO again on air after reactivation 24 hours earlier. No time to pin down the frequency this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 880, Sept 30 at 1458 UT on the NRD-545, KRVN NE with a 260/minute SAH or 4.33 Hz. Yesterday afternoon during presumed KJOZ TX log, I did not note a significant SAH with KRVN, so beat this time may be something else, such as remnant of KHAC skywave? Probably, as at 1510 UT I no longer hear the SAH (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
