Glenn Hauser logs October 14-15, 2016


** CUBA. 5025, Oct 15 at 0041, S9+25 open carrier, dead air except for lite whine from R. Rebelde (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EAST TURKISTAN [and non]. 7425, Oct 15 at 0026, W&M conversation in English, with some Mandarin interjexions, soon confirmed as CRI, since it`s // but about one second ahead of 6020 via ALBANIA. 7425 is 100 kW, 174 degrees from Kashgar for S Asia during this hour only, so surprisingly good here at S9+15 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 9895, Oct 14 at 2035, motorboating atop some unintelligible talk modulation, S5 fading to S1. It`s the French disservice of R. Caire, 2000-2115, 200 kW, 325 degrees from Abis, consequently USward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NICARAGUA. 539.80 approx., Oct 15 at 0056, hearing a het about here to 540 stations. Maybe Spanish, but too tough to split it off from XEWA 40 Principales. Have been alert for this since reports from Terry Krueger in FL of Managua`s R. Corporación on 539.83 as of Oct 3; and finally at least I`m getting the het/carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9460, Oct 14 at 2036, S8 Turkish music, as TRT Turkish to Europe at 16-21 is now carrying on to North American beyond; similar music and signal from Greece on 9420 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15220 & 11720, Oct 14 at 2022, VOA Kriyòl service is strangely playing a song in English, a few KK announcements, 2024 more music until 2030 sign-off, carrier off at 2031*: the final outsending of this 5-day revival post-Mathieu SW series, perhaps until another disaster (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7730, UT Sat Oct 15 at 0022, WRMI is yet again replaying the CDXA special from early August in tribute to Ecos del Torbes, followed at 0030 by another `Wavescan` repeat, which now shows on the skedgrid, while 0000 remains blank (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** U S A. 7490+, UT Sat Oct 15 circa 0015, WBCQ `Allan Weiner Worldwide` in phone conversation asserting he`s still backing Trump; also delayed on 5129.85, but no signal circa 3250 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9275, Fri Oct 14 at 2038, no signal from WMLK. It was originally running until 2100* but I`ve seen some other reports lately of closing around 2000* so presumably it hasn`t broken down yet again. It will take Sabbathday off, so check next Sunday from *1600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1380, Oct 15 at 0048 UT, mixture of weak stations including one in Spanish, so perhaps KRCM Shenandoah TX (Houston market) be back in whack, with 43 or 50 watts night instead of 22,000 watts day power? OTOH, NRC AM Log shows there`s another SS religious Texan on 1380, KWMP Pleasanton, (San Antonio market), 4000/160 U5 which should have a chance now if KRCM be legal. Will check further for usual bigsig tantamount to a European service from KRCM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
