Glenn Hauser logs February 12-13, 2019

** BANGLADESH. 4750, Feb 12 at 1345, talk and song I would say is S Asian, so presumed Bangladesh Betar, rather than other possibility CNR1 Hailar --- should have ruled that out by // check to another CNR1 frequency. CODAR QRM swishing from both sides. And QRM from non-Spanish 2-way on 4751.8-USB. Anyhow 4750 is the best Asian signal on 60m along with many JBA carriers corresponding to Tibet, East Turkistan, China, India and peripheries, such as 4760 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL [non]. 6090, Feb 13 at 0001, I`m trying again to hear the alleged Radio Bandeirantes: one weak signal here on the Icom, can`t tell language; 0007 I`ve switched to the JRC and there are two signals mixing, the stronger one sounding more and more like Chinese by 0015, i.e. CNR2 from Golmud. (My closest streetlight ignites with a wideband RF noise burst at 0016; mostly clear sky but some orange clouds on the sunset horizon.) By 0032 the otherlang is atop, and I think it is Spanish rather than Portuguese. The 6090 situation is somewhat clarified:

Wolfgang Bueschel reports Iran already on with IS at 2345 Feb 12. We`ve had contradictory info about when VIRI`s Spanish broadcast start --- 2320, 2350 or 0020, but it appears that 2350 is the winner.

We`ve also wondered whether the Bandeirantes on 6090 heard in Brasil be a pirate and not a reactivation of the real station. And whether report of it as ``Rádio Livre`` which means ``Free Radio`` refer to it as a pirate, or the name of a real program on RB?

Daniel Wyllyans has just answered that on HCDX: ``6090 Rádio Livre Bandeirantes --- Yes and no. Yes, the program is officially from Rádio Bandeirantes. No, TX is not the 10 KW Bandeirantes. Is another person with 30 watts in 6090 MG state. 73 Daniel Wyllyans``

So even if that be on air at this hour, we are certainly not going to hear it in NAm with China, Iran and sometimes even Anguilla also on 6090 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 12300, Feb 12 at 1350, RHC harmonic 2 x 6150 still here at S2-S5. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TAIWAN [and non]. 6075, Feb 12 at 1352 open carrier at S7-S9, except for a brief noise burst; 1400 one tone and lively Chinese programming including song, i.e. RTI as scheduled starting Chinese at 1400 via Kouhu site; but now there is also a second station talking and making a SAH, i.e. CNR1 jamming. Or vice versa (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TAJIKISTAN. 4765.059, Feb 12 at 1345, VP signal from something, presumed Tajik Radio, Dushanbe. Offset to 4765.06 has been reported recently by Gianni Serra, Roma; Wolfgang Bueschel on 4765.070; Anker Petersen, Denmark, had R. Progreso, Cuba on 4765.06! But that would never be on the air at this hour and when I do hear it in the 0130-0500 span, it`s never off-frequency. Tajik is sometimes logged as merely ``4765`` apparently by those not paying attention to detail. From DXLD 18-11: ``Tajik Radio, which was reported by Kouji Hashimoto and Wolfgang Büschel, in the Feb 19-26 period variously as 4765.06, 4765.054, 4765.057, as in DXLD 18-09`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 11570, Feb 12 at 1455, Korean is S9-S7, VOA jingle. This 14-16 broadcast is the sole station anywhen on 11570, 21 degrees via Tinang, PHILIPPINES, carrying right on USward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5970, Feb 12 at 1355, RCM ID and start ``Salve Regina`` chant quickly cut off; by 1358, same is running on stronger 12050. So WEWN is successfully emanating both Spanish transmitters today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Not that it matter much at all, but this log was on Feb 10, not 11 as in original report; fixed: 27185, Feb 10 at 1915 on caradio, someone local is transmitting a big hum on this prime CB frequency (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
