Glenn Hauser logs October 2-3, 2017


** BOLIVIA [and non]. 5935, Oct 2 at 2336, cannot detect any carrier from R. Yura, altho noise level is not so bad tonight; nor at 2356 just before WWCR blasts on. Yet I am getting various S. American off-frequencies including 5952.46, Pio Doce, which was missing the last two nights. Colombia is but a JBA carrier on 5910.33. Have not seen any South American logs of Yura since Claudio Galaz` on Sept 22. On his clip, sounds like frequency is announced as ``6,236`` rather than 5936. What do you think:

It would be helpful if DXers down there would report non-logs of stations like this, i.e. when heard before and should be audible if on. Art Delibert in Maryland, however, tells me, ``Glenn – I heard a VERY weak het on 5935 in the period leading up to 0000 [presumably Oct 1 into Oct 2]. It’s back again tonight (2348 Oct 2), but again very weak. Regards, Art Delibert`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BOLIVIA. 6024.98, Oct 2 at 2338, JBA carrier, suspected Red Patria Nueva (ex/a.k.a. Radio Illimani), and maybe an even weaker second carrier closer to 6025.00 --- that would be 100 kW from Tibet. RPN is tough here and I`ve never really heard it well. Also getting Cuban Commie jamming bleed from 6030. Valko had RPN on 6024.9 this July, in the morning. Also some more logs from 2015 & 2014 on 6024.9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 17559.96, Oct 3 at 0009, Chinese could be VOA Tinang this hour only, or CNR1 jammer; I`m afraid that this VOA site would more likely be off-frequency; very poor but almost the OSOB except for a JBA carrier on 17490 which would be CRI Beijing site unjammed in Cantonese (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9618 approx., Oct 2 at 2354, Cuban-style pulse jamming at the rate of 4 per second, against nothing, inexplicable and unseems unrelated to the walls of noise on 9565 and 9955; but jamming transmitters can also output spurs (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 12090, Oct 2 at 2344, JBA carrier, presumed RHC leapfrog of 11670 over 11880 another 210 kHz higher, as previously logged; nothing else scheduled on 12090. Also a trace of modulation on 12020, which would be 11880 over 11950 another 70 kHz beyond (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 9420, Oct 2 at 2352, very poor music // bit stronger 9935, ERT back on both frequencies. No one else uses 9935, but China and Iran might be on 9420, such as China right now with CNR per HFCC; Iran at other times if Kamalabad were still operational, for a couple of imaginary English broadcasts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6940.0-USB, Oct 2 at 2341 rock music, 2342 `Goin` up in Smoke` bluesy, 2343 percussive interlude, 2350 with some talkovers I can`t understand; still past hourtop into Oct 3, at 0003 YL plugs HFUnderground.com; 0009 ``Jihad Radio, your local radio staiton, Jihad Radio, to blow you sky-high``, Britishish accent, and off, or rather pause, 0010 siren, and off again. Started out as Clever Name Radio:
also with more about the Jihad Radio parody program from 2013-2014y (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU [and non]. 5980, Oct 2 at 2325, JBA carrier from Radio Chaski until autocutoff at 2330:38* --- but then an even weaker carrier cuts back on, I think, rather than being uncovered. All A-season there has been nothing else on 5980 at this hour (not even a WWCR mixing product which online skeds fail to include later). 

I`m suspecting R. Chaski`s transmitter has decided to keep its exciter going, perhaps unnoticed by the humans in charge (who don`t even need to notice the cutoffs when they happen). Still at 2351 check but not at 2359. 

Or, has something else appeared there? Better check the latest HFCC, Aoki and EiBi. HFCC has nothing new at this hour; however, RNZI has registered 5980 starting at 1300, which would replace 6170; maybe backup, alt or wooden. Don`t think it has really happened yet. 

No, nothing else in EiBi or NDXC/Aoki. However, unlike HFCC, they remind us that 5980 is one of the Scandinavian Weekend Radio frequencies from Finland on the first Saturdays, but not at this hour; Aoki also is outdated for the Chaski sign-off as 0103, which was earlied a sesquihour some months ago, as in EiBi until 2341, which is about the latest I ever got it before recessing autocutoff time.

Speaking of which, today`s time of 2330:38* is 7 seconds later than yesterday until 2330:31* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1897 monitoring: confirmed Monday October 2 just after 2330 on WBCQ 9330.20v-CUSB, good S9+20. Also confirmed UT Tuesday October 3 at 0030 on WRMI, 7730, VG S9+30. NEW WOR 1898 should be ready for first airings Tuesday Oct 3 at 2130 on WRMI 9455 if not 15770, 2330 on WBCQ 9330v-CUSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, Monday Oct 2 at 2030, filling in another blank in WRMI`s new schedule: `Reality [sic] in Jesus`, Denver PA, dedicated to the end-times mythology. Only other known time on sked is Saturday 1130 on 9955. Now to check Tuesday if I can pull away from WOR recording session (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11802.00-USB, Oct 2 at 2347, INTRUDERS, colloquial Spanish 2-way about ``14 kilos, puta-madre``, plus whistling, engine noise, ``no pescan allá``; ``cambio`` to much weaker contact. So is he talking about dope smuggling or fishing? You don`t fish from an airplane (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
