Glenn Hauser logs May 13-14, 2016


** AUSTRALIA. Regarding my previous log of RA, 9580 between 12 and 13 UT: ``Glenn - Both "The World" and "Australia Wide" are sourced for Radio Australia from the domestic ABC News 24 network. As you point out, the latter program - a weekly that runs on News 24 on the weekend - is not part of the RA schedule or program roster. I can only surmise that "The World" used an extended report from "Australia Wide" during its program that day. John Figliozzi, Halfmoon, NY`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHAD. 6165, May 14 at 0057, RHC carrier not on yet, and no carrier either from Chad, like there would have been last night to SAH RHC a bit later (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Re the non-// programming of CRI on 11910, ``Hi Glenn, re: "the only SW chance to hear the once-pervasive `Beijing Hour` show?" 

Alan Roe replies: ``There is still plenty of opportunity to hear rebroadcasts of The Beijing Hour in CRI's regular SW schedule as follows, UT:
2300, 0100, 0300, 0500 (morning edition)
0700, 0900 (midday edition)
1100, 1500 (evening edition - live at 1100)
1900 (night edition)
BTW: I haven't made any effort as yet to confirm that the various
editions are different! Alan Roe, Teddington, UK`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 12005.0, May 14 at 0039, R. Cairo at S3, open carrier, dead air with no motorboating noise or even buzz; nice!

9315, May 14 at *0045, R. Cairo turns on with big humbuzz, maybe trace of Spanish modulation. I happened to be tuning up toward this at 0044 and was hearing the same mushy carrier jumping around 9295-9300 before it settled on 9315.01 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MADAGASCAR. 17640, May 13 at 1800 check, still no reactivation of MWV`s African Pathways Radio, which had been reactivated during its previous airing at 0400 on 9480. So only one transmitter operable; during this hour presumably in Russian on 9570, which we never hear.

9600, May 14 at 0048, very poor S5 signal with music, seems gospel. Evidently MWV is on but not propagating well this date, or underpowered.

9665, May 14 at 0100, checking for MWV`s next frequency, but initially only hear Voz Missionária, with Brazuguese talk, which at 0049 I had measured on 9664.98. However, at 0120 recheck, a second weak signal is making a SAH with the ZY is on 9665, and that would be MWV (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
 
** NORTH AMERICA. 6955.0-USB, 0056 UT May 14, S7 with dense rock music, then vaguely a TV show theme; gone at next check 0110. It`s also unID in this thread
despite sending some SSTV images, unless the name of the station was per visible labels ``FOR THAT SHIT``. It had been playing spooky Hallowe`en music and SSTV until 0107 or so (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6876.02-AM, May 14 at 0111, music at S8, on the The Crystal Ship relay frequency, confirmed as such in this thread:
including some lengthy playlists (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OMAN. 15140.0, May 14 at 0032, S7 signal with Qur`an, so here`s R. Sultanate of Oman, which I have not heard in months during this timespan; wondered which frequency they would be on. Over-registered in HFCC A-16 for the 00-02 UT span are 9500, 9650, 12015, with 15140 supposedly only between 14 and 22. Up to their old trix, leaving sole transmitter on previous frequency much later than scheduled, zzzz, so may not be there next time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, May 14 at 0059, JBA carrier from R. Chaski; adding 6 seconds to last night`s cutoff time of 0103:52*, I`m expecting it around 0103:58, but in fact it cuts off at 0103:55.5*, earlier than anticipated. Perhaps it will all average out over time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TIBET [non]. 18980, Friday May 13 at 1355, JBA carrier here, which matches the 13-14 UT Tue & Fri frequency of RFA Tibetan via Kuwait and consequently CNR1 jamming. Lucky me! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TIBET [non]. 15558, May 13 at 1401, JBA carrier on this split frequency, which matches today`s Aoki listing for Voice of Tibet via TAJIKISTAN at 1333-1405 but also listed at 1402-1415. No carrier audible on 15560 where there should have been a CNR1 jammer (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1825 monitoring: confirmed Friday May 13 at 2130, good on WRMI 15770; and at 2130.5, very good on WRMI 13695. 2330 on WBCQ 9330v missed checking. Next:

** U S A. 5129.9-AM, May 14 at 0101, WBCQ with music not // 7490 `Allan Weiner Worldwide`; maybe it was // during the first hour from 0000? The WBCQ 5130 program schedule continues to lack anything after 0100 UT Saturday. AW has been on the phone with somebody complaining about Facebook banning him from his own SW-interest group twice when he posted a notice that Hal Turner would be coming up on WBCQ Wednesday night. No free speech there, so better get a SW radio! After benedixion and more comments, Allan concludes at 0119 and turns 7490 back over to Brother Scare, while 5129.9 is still playing music. I also check for 3250, and do find a weak carrier varying around 3249, but I think it`s a local birdie, so was WBCQ off 3250 tonight? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
