Glenn Hauser logs November 8-9, 2015


** PERU. Two correxions to the text of this item, 10 minutes instead of 10 seconds and reset instead of rest:

5980, Nov 8 at 0055, JBA carrier from R. Chaski; 0059 joined by a weaker one from BBC UAE, making the usual double-pitch het with BFO since they are a few Hz apart. Restoring a weaker single-pitch carrier from UAE only, R. Chaski cuts off at 0110:08*, which is 32.5 seconds later than last check Nov 3 at 0109:35.5, or an average of 6.5 seconds later per diem (noctem?). By the time it precesses to as much as 10 minutes ``late``, R. Chaski should be about to reset the slippery clocktimer closer to 0100*. 0138 recheck, no carrier as BBC runs only until 0130 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOMALILAND. 7120.0-LSB, Nov 9 at 0333, S5 carrier presumed R. Hargeisa just after sign-on, and I find no modulation if tuned in the USB mode on the NRD-545, but just barely modulated when tuned in LSB mode, altho that also picks up CW QRhaM. Is this station habitually on LSB only? Recheck at 0355, now there is a Spanish ham on 7120-LSB, still a JBA carrier too (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH AFRICA. 6155, Nov 9 at 0335, Channel Africa with long promo for its coverage of some summit in Jo`burg 29 Nov to 3 Dec; 0336 `Rise & Shine` program ID. Good at S9+25, even tho azimuth of the 250 kW from Meyerton is 19 degrees during this hour only in English; a few minutes later a much weaker signal on 3345, presumably same, which is 100 kW at 5 degrees from 03 to 05, both M-F only as nothing happens on weekends (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1798 monitoring: confirmed UT Monday November 9 starting at 0401:08 on Area 51 via WBCQ 5109.70-CUSB, right after Johnny Lightning finished. But very poor propagation tonight, S5 only here. WOR sounded a little louder than JL. 

Checked at 0340 Nov 9, WRMI 9955 is a JBA carrier, S3, very degraded propagation; likewise KVOH on 9975.0. By 0430 UT Monday Nov 9, I`m back on the WRMI webcast to confirm WOR 1798 still airing then. Next:
Tue 1200   WRMI 9955 to SSE
Wed 1415.5 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Wed 2200   WBCQ 7490v to WSW

Complete WOR schedules, not only SW:

** U S A. 770, Nov 9 at 0350 UT, national adstring culminating in fleaspray.com at 0353, presumably from KKOB and KKOB, and this time I detect a very slight reverb, as if the two transmitters are not precisely synchronized --- which they really need to be, to avoid self-QRM between Santa Fe and Albuquerque. Also another station in English QRMing, KAAM TX? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ZANZIBAR. 6015, Nov 9 at 0338, presumed Ungujan music, from ZBC, S9 but only fair with ACI from 6020 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
