Glenn Hauser logs December 8, 2009
** ALBANIA [and non]. Checked the R. Tirana webcast for the first time in a long time, UT Sunday Dec 6 at 0130-0145, and it was running, but no audio from the scheduled English broadcast.
http://radiotirana.funkhaus.info:8000/listen.pls
Again checked stream and also SW Monday night = early UT Tuesday Dec 8. Apparently what`s on the stream does not necessarily match what is on the air. Is it planned this way? Is there a specific different schedule for the webcasts?
At 0236 UT I brought up the stream early, I thought, and the English broadcast was already in progress, soon going from news to press review. 0242 wrapping up. Modulation quality fine, and the theme music sounds of good quality, but the interval signal after it sounds like a worn-out recording even on the webcast. The label on the winamp player shows 0245-0300 even tho it is not yet 0245!
Then when it is really 0245, the English broadcast starts over on the stream. I then check 6130, but cannot hear Radio Tirana. European conditions are quite poor tonight.
0320 I check the stream again but now there is no connexion ``service unavailable``. At 0345, when the SW broadcast is in progress again, the stream is still unavailable. I check 6150 and can barely hear the RT announcer, and there is a fast subaudible heterodyne indicating another weak signal on the frequency. Again, conditions from Europe are very poor tonight, with the usually big signal from Spain on 6055 quite poor.
What could the other station on 6150 be? The possibilities I can find are Perm, Yakutsk and Bayrak, Cyprus. Under these poor European conditions probably Yakutsk would be most likely. I hope that when conditions from Europe improve, Radio Tirana will have no trouble surpassing it as was the case earlier in the season (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 5075, Dec 8 at 1402, something in Chinese vs perpetual ute beeper. Has to be the only station in the world on this frequency, V. of Pujiang, Shanghai, at 1130-1600 per Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. CMRH (the callsign which RHC never announces, discussed in DXLDs 8-074, 9-012, 9-075), Dec 8 at 0643 with 6140 in English this time instead of Spanish.
5960, RHC English audible weakly aside REE/CR 5965, Dec 8 at 0650. This is leapfrog of two powerful fundamentals, 6060 over 6010. There could be another in the opposite direxion on 6110, which at this hour is no longer on the air as a fundamental, but not heard there aside CRI/Sackville 6115.
At 0706, after nominal closedown time, 6140 and 6060 still on the air in English.
At 1420, 11760 with Voces de la Revolución, hoary old Fidel speech from 1989y about imperialismo yanqui, phone ringing in background, that presumably dating from 2009y. // 11730 and 11800 and could not hear phone, but inconclusive as much weaker signals there.
At 1426, leafrog on 13880 = 13680 over 13780, hitting S9+5, a respectable signal in its own right, e.g. stronger than PMS on WWCR 13845. The fundamentals were S9+20.
At 1432, the other leapfrog on 13710 atop AIR GOS. Much weaker than 13880, but enough to be very damaging. This is 13770 over CRI relay on 13740, but only RHC Spanish audible on 13710 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. As I was monitoring Equatorial Guinea on 6250 and Polisario was opening on 6297, I noticed that Cairo was still running on 6290 past nominal 0700*, Dec 8, until it cut off at 0705*. As usual, strong signal in Arabic, but badly distorted (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 6250.0, RNGE, Dec 8 at 0653 choral/hilife music, 0700 announcement, more music, weakening vs. ute QRM as sun is well up there in UT+1 zone and SR time varies little near the Equator. Presumed, as never well enough to be certain this was in Spanish. Seems quite irregular, but not usually audible this late after sign-on varying around 0530 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY [non]. DW in German on 6075, Dec 8 at 0644 good but with a very quick echo/reverb due to two sites not exactly synchronized; needs tweaking. Registered as both Sines, PORTUGAL, 250 kW, 40 degrees, and Woofferton, UK, 300 kW, 114 degrees between 0600 and 0743, except weekends when Sines stays on until 0755 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MAURITANIA. 4845, ORTM is back on after a brief absence, Dec 8 at 0646 in Arabic; fair signal but very weak modulation. Since this is so unreliable, we wonder if the vast outback regions of this country are without national radio service when it is off? And now it also has DRM from Alaska to contend with (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO [and non]. 6185, XEPPM lucked out with a few more minutes than usual of non-interference from Brasília, still in the clear at 0643 Dec 8 with guitar music, but by next check 0652 RNA was on and blowing it away (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 6010, R. Mil, Dec 8 at 1352, a time when it is reliably QRM-free, with ``Escuela Enfoque`` discussion attributed to Estéreo Cien y Radio Mil, altho at first I thought they said Radio México. Poor but clear signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN [and non]. In regular chex for the 8GAL CW marker at 1400 on 6074, I have been noticing the absence of the Chinese radio war starting on 6075 at that hour as had previously been the case. Closing timesignal from Russia would overlap two seconds apart with opening timesignal from Taiwan and/or CNR1 jamming, but again Dec 8, neither of the latter audible at all, nor 8GAL. Aoki still lists from 1400, RTI with a 4-hour jammed service to the mainland in Chinese. Is it off or just not propagating? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Dec 8 at 1434 UT I came upon a fire-and-brimstone preacher on 15550-USB, which has been an area rather vacant of signals this season, strangely enough. No carrier, pure USB. What could this be, WBCQ here instead of 15420 which clashes later with BBC? Typical sermon about resurrexion, etc., occasional murmers of assent from audience. Worx himself up into a lather periodically. 1445 suggests to start tithing with a quarter or a nickel tonight, then build up. 1450 becomes stronger needing attenuation to avoid pumping. 1451 some brief audio dropouts. 1455 fades a bit, start recording in case ID is coming up.
1501 preacher abruptly interrupted for hymn, which leads into ID as ``WJHR Radio International, Milton, Florida`` and asking for reports to wjhr @ usa.com 1502 resume same preacher in progress. Sounds like they have the rough produxion values of a WWRB. 1506 some music, 1510 more of preacher. Still going at 1520. And still audible vs local computer noise at 1600. Still detectable at 1715, but much weaker.
This is the brand-new SW station which has been in the making for some time, but we had seen no registration at all for this or any frequency from them. Now we know. And just what we need! A clip of the 1501 ID has been posted on the DXLD yg.
No reply yet to my e-mail report as of 1725 UT, also requesting info on what power they are running, antenna direxionality, other frequencies if any and schedule, whether this is their first day and if anyone else has reported to them yet.
But here`s what the FCC has on WJHR:
http://www.fcc.gov/ib/sand/neg/hf_web/WJHR.txt
50 kW, emission 4K50R3A, Cubex/quad antenna with 16.24 dB gain at 5 degrees azimuth, 64 degrees beamwidth and 11 degrees elevation
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 13645, Dec 8 at 1428, US gospel huxter closing with address in Massachusetts, open carrier till off at 1430*. Per Aoki, it`s some Pan American Broadcasting client via Nauen, GERMANY, which uses 13645 at 1415-1439 Mon-Sat, expanded on Sundays to 1400-1445 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** WESTERN SAHARA [non]. 6297, LV de la RASD, Dec 8 at 0703 playing anthem, brief announcement and into chanting which is presumably Qur`anic devotional, tho not like a regular recitation heard from stations closer to Mecca (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
http://radiotirana.funkhaus.info:8000/listen.pls
Again checked stream and also SW Monday night = early UT Tuesday Dec 8. Apparently what`s on the stream does not necessarily match what is on the air. Is it planned this way? Is there a specific different schedule for the webcasts?

A Volpiano si cambia...
Sembra sia finalmente stata trovata una nuova soluzione per l'impianto ad onda media di Volpiano, è imminente un cambio di frequenza che porterà il riposizionamento dei 1062 khz a 999 khz. Su questa nuova frequenza dovrebbe finalmente essere possibile l'utilizzo della potenza originariamente prevista per questo impianto, 200 kw, anche se resta ancora il problema dell'antenna al momento utilizzata che non sarebbe adatta neanche per i 999 khz. E' alta soltanto 50 metri, ben lontano dal 1/4 d'onda, ce ne vorrebbero alemno 80 per far sì che l'impianto possa rendere in maniera accettabile e non diffondere solo verso il cielo...

Concorso RRI: Buzau - la piccola Romania e le sue attrattive
Radio Romania Internazionale vi invita a partecipare al concorso a premi "Buzau - la piccola Romania e le sue attrattive", dedicato a una regione meridionale del nostro Paese. I suoi abitanti la chiamano con orgoglio "una piccola Romania", per la diversità delle sue forme di rilievo. Seguite i programmi di RRI, visitate il sito www.rri.ro, rispondete correttamente per iscritto alle domande del concorso fino al 31 marzo 2010, bollo postale attestante, e potete annoverarvi fra i vincitori.
I premi in palio - due vacanze di 9 giorni, per due persone ciascuna, vitto e alloggio compresi in più agriturismi della provincia di Buzau, rispettivamente tra il 26 maggio e il 6 giugno e tra il 5 e il 13 giugno. Il concorso è sposorizzatto dagli agriturismi "Casa cu Tei" di Sarata Monteoru, "Casa Matei" di Berca, "Tata Lice" e "Varlaam", entrambe di Chiojdu. Come al solito, le spese di trasporto fino a Bucarest sono a carico dei vincitori. Sono in palio anche altri numerosi premi a sorpresa, legati alla provincia di Buzau, offerti dai nostri partner: il Consiglio provinciale, l'Arcivescovado di Buzau e Vrancea, il Museo provinciale, la filiale Buzau dell'Unione degli artisti figurativi, il Centro di ricerca-sviluppo per viticoltura e vinificazione di Pietroasa, la Camera di commercio e industria, il gruppo Romet spa Buzau, la Eximprod Grup spa Buzau.
La provincia di Buzau, che collega l'arco dei Carpazi e la Pianura del Danubio, è situata nel sud-est della Romania, nel sud-est dei Carpazi Orientali, sul corso medio-alto del fiume di Buzau. Uno dei principali pezzi del Tesoro di Romania proviene da queste parti. Il Tesoro di Pietroasa, noto anche come "La chioccia dai pulcini d'oro", fu rinvenuto nel 1837 da due contadini. Del tesoro che all'inizio contava, a quanto pare, 22 pezzi, sono stati recuperati solo 12, che pesano complessivamente 19 chili. Dal 1971, il tesoro, che ebbe una storia tormentata, è custodito dal Museo nazionale di storia della Romania.
La zona di Buzau, nota anche per i suoi vini rossi secchi e per il tipo Tamaioasa color rosato, dolce e semidolce, vanta un'autentica "Via del vino", con soste a Pietroasele, Zoresti, Merei, Breaza, Naeni e Sahateni. Tra le attrattive naturali, ricordiamo i vulcani di fango a Berca, la "miniera" di petrolio a Sarata Monteoru, l'unica del genere funzionale in Europa, col greggio estratto attraverso gallerie e pozzi a 250-300 metri di profondità. La tecnologia delle gallerie del 1925 è utilizzata a tutt'oggi. Vale la pena di scoprire la località balneoclimatica di Sarata Monteoru, lo straordinario Lago delle aquile, chiamato anche "Il Lago senza fondali", le grotte saline di Meledic, il Fuoco vivo di Lopatari, ma anche la Vallata di Buzau, le vallate dei fiumi Basca Mica e Basca Mare oppure l'area della Vetta di Penteleu, alta 1.772 metri.
Sempre nella regione di Buzau si trovano gli insediamenti rupestri di Alunis-Colti e Nucu-Bozioru, le tombe daciche e la chiesa fatta di una roccia a Naeni, i conventi-fortezze di Vintila-Voda e Bradu, il monastero Ciolanu, l'atelier di scultura all'aperto di Magura, il Museo provinciale di Buzau e il Museo dell'Ambra, a Colti, il castro romano di Pietroasele e tante altre attrattive.
Ecco le domande del concorso:
I premi in palio - due vacanze di 9 giorni, per due persone ciascuna, vitto e alloggio compresi in più agriturismi della provincia di Buzau, rispettivamente tra il 26 maggio e il 6 giugno e tra il 5 e il 13 giugno. Il concorso è sposorizzatto dagli agriturismi "Casa cu Tei" di Sarata Monteoru, "Casa Matei" di Berca, "Tata Lice" e "Varlaam", entrambe di Chiojdu. Come al solito, le spese di trasporto fino a Bucarest sono a carico dei vincitori. Sono in palio anche altri numerosi premi a sorpresa, legati alla provincia di Buzau, offerti dai nostri partner: il Consiglio provinciale, l'Arcivescovado di Buzau e Vrancea, il Museo provinciale, la filiale Buzau dell'Unione degli artisti figurativi, il Centro di ricerca-sviluppo per viticoltura e vinificazione di Pietroasa, la Camera di commercio e industria, il gruppo Romet spa Buzau, la Eximprod Grup spa Buzau.
La provincia di Buzau, che collega l'arco dei Carpazi e la Pianura del Danubio, è situata nel sud-est della Romania, nel sud-est dei Carpazi Orientali, sul corso medio-alto del fiume di Buzau. Uno dei principali pezzi del Tesoro di Romania proviene da queste parti. Il Tesoro di Pietroasa, noto anche come "La chioccia dai pulcini d'oro", fu rinvenuto nel 1837 da due contadini. Del tesoro che all'inizio contava, a quanto pare, 22 pezzi, sono stati recuperati solo 12, che pesano complessivamente 19 chili. Dal 1971, il tesoro, che ebbe una storia tormentata, è custodito dal Museo nazionale di storia della Romania.
La zona di Buzau, nota anche per i suoi vini rossi secchi e per il tipo Tamaioasa color rosato, dolce e semidolce, vanta un'autentica "Via del vino", con soste a Pietroasele, Zoresti, Merei, Breaza, Naeni e Sahateni. Tra le attrattive naturali, ricordiamo i vulcani di fango a Berca, la "miniera" di petrolio a Sarata Monteoru, l'unica del genere funzionale in Europa, col greggio estratto attraverso gallerie e pozzi a 250-300 metri di profondità. La tecnologia delle gallerie del 1925 è utilizzata a tutt'oggi. Vale la pena di scoprire la località balneoclimatica di Sarata Monteoru, lo straordinario Lago delle aquile, chiamato anche "Il Lago senza fondali", le grotte saline di Meledic, il Fuoco vivo di Lopatari, ma anche la Vallata di Buzau, le vallate dei fiumi Basca Mica e Basca Mare oppure l'area della Vetta di Penteleu, alta 1.772 metri.
Sempre nella regione di Buzau si trovano gli insediamenti rupestri di Alunis-Colti e Nucu-Bozioru, le tombe daciche e la chiesa fatta di una roccia a Naeni, i conventi-fortezze di Vintila-Voda e Bradu, il monastero Ciolanu, l'atelier di scultura all'aperto di Magura, il Museo provinciale di Buzau e il Museo dell'Ambra, a Colti, il castro romano di Pietroasele e tante altre attrattive.
Ecco le domande del concorso:
Con quali altre province romene confina Buzau?
Dove si trova il Tesoro di Pietroasa, noto anche come "La chioccia dai pulcini d'oro", tesoro archeologico rinvenuto nel 1837 nel paese di Pietroasele, in provincia di Buzau?
In quale località di Buzau si trova una "miniera" di petrolio, unica in Europa?
Nominate altre quattro attrattive turistiche della provincia.

# SIDC Weekly bulletin on Solar and Geomagnetic activity #
#--------------------------------------------------------------------#
WEEK 466 from 2009 Nov 30
SOLAR ACTIVITY
--------------
Solar activity was at its lowest level during the whole week.
The Earth was facing the inactive hemisphere of the Sun. Indeed,
over the last 8 Carrington rotations, almost all active regions
appeared in restricted longitude ranges, mostly 200 - 300° and also
0 - 50°. So, all recent active regions were on the far side of the
Sun during this week.
As unique event, a limb CME was observed at the West limb on Dec.3.
A small low-latitude coronal hole rotated in a geoeffective position
late in the week by Dec.5.
Also, on Dec.1st, the transition from GOES10 to GOES14 led to a
jump in the X-ray flux measurements that is only due to a difference
in the sensitivity of the instruments.
GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY
--------------------
The geomagnetic activity remained quiet over the entire week, with
only a brief unsettled interval on Dec.5, associated to a weak
solar wind disturbance produced by a small low-latitude coronal
hole.
The highlight of this week was an extremely quiet period from Dec.3
to Dec.5, when the solar wind parameters all reached exceptionally
low values: speed < 250km/s, density < 0.3 electron/cm3, temperature
< 20000K and magnetic field strength < 4nT. Given the vanishing
and stable dynamic pressure of the solar wind on the Earth
magnetosphere, the corresponding geomagnetic indices stayed mostly
at Kp=0 in most ground stations from Dec.1 to Dec.5.

lunedì 7 dicembre 2009
Glenn Hauser logs December 7, 2009
** BRAZIL [and non]. 9675, Brazilian YL musing about some ``senhor``, Dec 7 at 0607, and on stronger 9645 similar YL but not //, with OM discussing copa do mundo. Obviously 9675 was Canção Nova, and 9645 Bandeirantes, both from SP state. Hardly anything else audible on 31m,worst night in quite a while for the band after 0600: no WYFRs to be heard! Typically they are strong to extremely strong on 9680, 9715, less so but well audible on 9355, 9985. Only other significant signal was regular RA Brandon, Australia on 9660 plus a rippling SAH which could only be Vatican. Checked the other Brazilian frequencies but nothing much on them either (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Dec 7: at 1350, poor on 8400, 11300; JBA on 10210, 9000. But at 1521, all four of them were poor at roughly equal levels (Glenn Hauser, OK, DEX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. We can never get enough CNR1 frequencies --- the lucky network which not only enjoys multiple overt SW channels but countless frequencies more, used as jamming. Dec 7 at 1520 I noticed Chinese // on 9430, 9440 and 9450, YL announcer and music. So to investigate in Aoki:
9440 and 9450 have a*terisks indicating jammed services: 9440, R. Free Asia in Chinese via Tinian; 9450, two for the price of one, VOA Uzbek via Tinian, AND Sound of Hope via Taiwan! 9430 has no jamming or CNR1 listed, but FEBC is in Chinese via Philippines as well as Democratic V. of Burma via Armenia --- both of which might be secondary jamming targets by the ChiCom (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 9690, AIR GOS, Monday Dec 7, so another edition of mailbag, Faithfully Yours, concluding at 1445 with address airgos @ yahoo.co.in Fair here, but // 13710 ruined by RHC leapfrog from 13770 over 13740. Why would one of the world`s major broadcasters depend on Yahoo for its e-mail? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. While on Dec 6, VIRI`s Russian from 1430 was better via Ahwaz on 9730 than Sirjan on 9575, it was the opposite on Dec 7 at 1518: 9730 quite weak, but 9575 quite strong, altho still distorted (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9955, WRMI, Dec 7 at 1516, R. Prague`s English program from yesterday, S9+18, not as strong as it can be, but perhaps indicating they are back on the NW antenna? A fast SAH mixed in, rather than jamming, no doubt YFR via Taiwan in Russian (they cannot use 9955 from Okeechobee because of their Hialeah neighbor, but by God, they`ll use it from Taiwan!). A semihour later, WRMI a bit better during Studio DX in Italian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 9685, VOA Border Crossings music show, poor at 1510 Dec 7; per BDXC-UK`s handy booklet Broadcasts in English for B-09, which I can keep next to the rig while the computer is off, site is Lampertheim, GERMANY. Not // 9760 PHILIPPINES with Spe-cial Eng-lish. If you crave world news, now! during the 15-16 UT hour, from VOA you are out of luck. But we`re fortunate there is anything left in English at all from this nation`s station under extreme mismanagement (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 17680, Dec 7 at 1427, praise song in English instead of usual Spanish. Is there hope for CVC resuming English via CHILE? Transmission then dumped off for less than a minute, probably God dropping a hint that they`d better get back to Spanish as scheduled. In 2010 CVC is reported quitting SW from Australia, and perhaps elsewhere in favor of webcasting (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. 11680, RNV via CUBA, routine check Dec 7 at 1539 just as they were announcing their transmission schedule. Yes! It is STILL the one years out of date from their earliest broadcasts, always starting with ``to San Francisco at 11 am on 13740``. This and all the others mentioned have been gone for years, except the final one, ``to Rio de Janeiro at 17 hours on 17705`` which by sheer luck still exists, except the current local time at 20 UT is 1800, and all the times given are local standard, ignoring DST, and never stated as such. Well, the rest matter not since no one can hear them on the frequencies given, anyway. How can any studio be so ignorant of its own broadcasts?? Listened another dekaminute, and it was right back to The Voice of the Personality Cult of Hugo Chávez, all in Spanish. Listening to RNV, you would think that nothing ever happens in Venezuela that is not somehow derived from the revolutionary socialist Bolivarianwisdom of Hugo (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4695-SSB, Dec 7 at 0613, caught my ear since the intonation sounded like a broadcast rather than 2-way; language tentatively Korean, but then there were pauses, and nothing further heard (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
Studio DX in TV
Oggi alle 18.00 la versione televisiva di Studio DX sul canale SKY 922 (12.111 Ghz, pol. V, SR 27500, FEC 3/4), solo un esperimento estremamente provvisorio cui stiamo lavorando, non aspettatevi nulla di che...
Roberto Scaglione
Glenn Hauser logs December 6, 2009 part II
** CHINA [and non]. 7105, intruder in the exclusive worldwide 40m hamband, Dec 6 at 2216 with alternating YL in Chinese, OM maybe Chinese but sounded like a different language. Per Aoki this is a 100 kW Sound of Hope frequency from Taiwan during this hour only, but always jammed and more likely to have been hearing CNR1 instead. Only other broadcaster audible 7100-7200 was Guinea on 7125, in French at 2217 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. En Contacto, the DX program of RHC, Sunday Dec 6 at 2152 on 13790 with mailbag for rest of show until finished at 2157 so must have started at 2142. When 13790 went into brief fades, long-path echo could be heard, some 38 Megameters away.
Checked all the other frequencies and found the other kind of echo, between transmitters not precisely synchronized because they are from the two different sites and/or with different feed routing. Synchro with 13790 were 6110 and 11770. An echo apart from those but synchro with each other: 13770, 11800, 11730, 9660. Meanwhile, 11760 was in separate musical programming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GABON. 9580, Africa Numéro Un, Dec 6 at 2203 in French news of Somalia, VG signal. I also had them well at 0700 as in previous report. I am beginning to wonder if during the last several months they had been running reduced power and have just recently resumed full power, 500 kW per WRTH. We are also still waiting for them to reactivate a second transmitter (WRTH shows three), and bring back daytime frequencies 17630, 15475. BTW, there are no Gabon registrations in HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. AIR GOS, 7550 // 9445, good signals roughly equal but with polar flutter, Dec 6 at 2157 with what I can only describe as lite music, not Indian, such as Girl from Ipanema at 2159, which had to be cut off at 2200 for ID and news. Could also // them to much weaker 6180. More lite music until all signed off at 2230 after listing frequencies to AuNZ at 1000 and one other target (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES. 11560, VOA news in English about Thailand, Dec 6 at 2212, fair with flutter. At 2301 had improved to VG signal but `hollow` sound indicating multipath reverb rather than long/short path which makes more pronounced echo. This is on that 21 degree antenna from Tinang, i.e. along the north coast of Alaska, across Canada thru Sioux Lookout, SW Ontario, Michigan, South Carolina (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAIPAN. 12090, Vietnamese songs at 2254 Dec 6, fair signal aside BBC 12095. At 2258 switched to Christian hymn in English, ``All Hail the Power of Jesus` Name . . . And Crown Him, Crown Him, Loo`oord of All``, making me suspect it was a gospel huxter; brief Vietnamese announcement and convenient English ID for KFBS, Saipan, off at 2300* sharp. EiBi, Aoki and HFCC all agree that the only occupant of 12090 at any time is KFBS at 2230-2300, 278 degrees, so there are 23.5 hours available for some other station needing to escape from interference (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WINB, 13570, which was outputting spurs the morning of Dec 6, still doing so the afternoon at 2150, peaking as before around 13510, 13540 and 13600. Must have switched to 9265 at 2200, since there it was at 2214 but with no spurs and slightly better modulation on this fundamental (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Tried to listen to Marion`s Attic on WBCQ, 7415, Sunday Dec 6, from 2218 tune-in. Fair at first but before the hour was over became unlistenable. DentroCuban Jamming Command against Radio Martí on 7405 was putting out regular noise pulses at plus and minus 10 kHz, as happens very frequently, due to at least one of their multiple jamming transmitters suffering from spurious output.
No, these were not scratches on Marion`s records, which also can occur at a steady repetitive rate! There was also a subaudible heterodyne indicating co-channel broadcast interference. By 2237 WBCQ was losing out to the DCJC noise, and by 2242 the CCI in Chinese had reached WBCQ`s level and soon surpassed it as WBCQ was also fading down. At 2245 there was also a brief continuous tone, and then a few dots and dashes, after which I gave up.
The co-channel interference is sadly to be expected, since someone at HFCC signed off, agreeing for BBC in Mandarin via Thailand to use 7415 during this hour, necessarily requiring ChiCom jamming, which is probably what I was hearing with the CNR1 program, rather than BBC itself. (And during the hours preceding and following, CRI itself is on 7415!)
The adjacent channel interference from Cuban jamming is also to be expected, as any station is just asking for it by operating only 10 kHz away from any Radio Martí or other service jammed by Cuba (VOA, Radio República, WRMI). This could be solved by one or the other moving away, but I doubt that either would be willing to relinquish a longtime familiar and traditional channel. So everybody loses (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. En Contacto, the DX program of RHC, Sunday Dec 6 at 2152 on 13790 with mailbag for rest of show until finished at 2157 so must have started at 2142. When 13790 went into brief fades, long-path echo could be heard, some 38 Megameters away.
Checked all the other frequencies and found the other kind of echo, between transmitters not precisely synchronized because they are from the two different sites and/or with different feed routing. Synchro with 13790 were 6110 and 11770. An echo apart from those but synchro with each other: 13770, 11800, 11730, 9660. Meanwhile, 11760 was in separate musical programming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GABON. 9580, Africa Numéro Un, Dec 6 at 2203 in French news of Somalia, VG signal. I also had them well at 0700 as in previous report. I am beginning to wonder if during the last several months they had been running reduced power and have just recently resumed full power, 500 kW per WRTH. We are also still waiting for them to reactivate a second transmitter (WRTH shows three), and bring back daytime frequencies 17630, 15475. BTW, there are no Gabon registrations in HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. AIR GOS, 7550 // 9445, good signals roughly equal but with polar flutter, Dec 6 at 2157 with what I can only describe as lite music, not Indian, such as Girl from Ipanema at 2159, which had to be cut off at 2200 for ID and news. Could also // them to much weaker 6180. More lite music until all signed off at 2230 after listing frequencies to AuNZ at 1000 and one other target (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES. 11560, VOA news in English about Thailand, Dec 6 at 2212, fair with flutter. At 2301 had improved to VG signal but `hollow` sound indicating multipath reverb rather than long/short path which makes more pronounced echo. This is on that 21 degree antenna from Tinang, i.e. along the north coast of Alaska, across Canada thru Sioux Lookout, SW Ontario, Michigan, South Carolina (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAIPAN. 12090, Vietnamese songs at 2254 Dec 6, fair signal aside BBC 12095. At 2258 switched to Christian hymn in English, ``All Hail the Power of Jesus` Name . . . And Crown Him, Crown Him, Loo`oord of All``, making me suspect it was a gospel huxter; brief Vietnamese announcement and convenient English ID for KFBS, Saipan, off at 2300* sharp. EiBi, Aoki and HFCC all agree that the only occupant of 12090 at any time is KFBS at 2230-2300, 278 degrees, so there are 23.5 hours available for some other station needing to escape from interference (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WINB, 13570, which was outputting spurs the morning of Dec 6, still doing so the afternoon at 2150, peaking as before around 13510, 13540 and 13600. Must have switched to 9265 at 2200, since there it was at 2214 but with no spurs and slightly better modulation on this fundamental (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Tried to listen to Marion`s Attic on WBCQ, 7415, Sunday Dec 6, from 2218 tune-in. Fair at first but before the hour was over became unlistenable. DentroCuban Jamming Command against Radio Martí on 7405 was putting out regular noise pulses at plus and minus 10 kHz, as happens very frequently, due to at least one of their multiple jamming transmitters suffering from spurious output.
No, these were not scratches on Marion`s records, which also can occur at a steady repetitive rate! There was also a subaudible heterodyne indicating co-channel broadcast interference. By 2237 WBCQ was losing out to the DCJC noise, and by 2242 the CCI in Chinese had reached WBCQ`s level and soon surpassed it as WBCQ was also fading down. At 2245 there was also a brief continuous tone, and then a few dots and dashes, after which I gave up.
The co-channel interference is sadly to be expected, since someone at HFCC signed off, agreeing for BBC in Mandarin via Thailand to use 7415 during this hour, necessarily requiring ChiCom jamming, which is probably what I was hearing with the CNR1 program, rather than BBC itself. (And during the hours preceding and following, CRI itself is on 7415!)
The adjacent channel interference from Cuban jamming is also to be expected, as any station is just asking for it by operating only 10 kHz away from any Radio Martí or other service jammed by Cuba (VOA, Radio República, WRMI).

** CHINA. Firedrake Dec 6 at 1438: 10210 poor with heavy flutter; 9000 JBA; 8400 inaudible; 11300 very poor (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC philately show in English, UT Sunday Dec 6 at 0609 on 6060, 6010; and much weaker 6140 instead of Spanish. UT Sunday Dec 6 at 0708, the weekly RHC Esperanto service in progress, on 6060 only.
WTFK? The RHC Esperanto website
http://www.radiohc.cu/esperanto/c_frecuencia/frecuencias.htm
claims this broadcast is on 6000; the Spanish version http://www.radiohc.cu/espanol/c_frecuencia/frecuencias.htm
omits this transmission completely (it is quite out of date/wrong otherwise too); and the supposedly more correct B-09 schedule e-mailed out and appearing in DXLD 9-081 shows 6010!
Was talking about the Alexander Humboldt Park, where? Chicago, says Google, tho city not heard mentioned. Then on to the Universal Esperanto Congress, which will be in Havano next July 17-24, as also publicized here: http://www.radiohc.cu/esperanto/congreso/ub_havano2010.pdf
Natch, RHC will be the official radio station for it.
This prompted a cute original song by a guy accompanied on guitar, enumerating the 94(?) cities of the world previously hosting such a congress, including Reykjavik, Kathmandu, Tashkent and Toulouse! With SFX such as Vatican bells.
I retuned to the 1500 repeat on 11760 at about the point I had outtuned eight hours earlier, for more of the song. See also VENEZUELA [non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [non]. 11930, R. Martí, Sunday Dec 6 somewhat atop DentroCuban jamming roar, about the Trio Los Panchos, so a repeat of same program 24 hours earlier on Sat morning. Mentioned 6 or 7 names of people who integrated the trio over its career.
Then onto segment incredibly crediting the Instituto Cubano de Radio y Televisión (ICRT), which is the post-revolution government agency, for clips to follow, originally on CMQ in 1949-1950 of an oldtime comedy show starring Cascarita, a.k.a. Orlando Guerra; Google that for lots more re.
1502 had switched to Resumen Semanal about racism and discrimination in Cuba against blacks and mulattos even today. Someone has been imprisoned since last July for protesting about this. Now there`s something you will never hear about on RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GABON. 9580, Africa Numéro Un, good signal, better than usual, with hilife music Dec 6 at 0651; 0653 ID, ``de Libreville et de Moyabi, au Gabon``. You`d think CVC Zambia on 9430 would also be well-heard, but not tonight; normally it`s better than ANU.
0700, a four-pip timesignal ending two seconds late, compared to WWV! And into brief news in French, soon another ID. Why in the world run a timesignal if you are that far off? A simple announcement of the time should be enough, without a signal implying far more accuracy than in reality (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 9420, VOG, Dec 6 at 0605 going from news to antiphonal chanting, alternating one monk(?) with a group in response. Heartfelt, but not exactly professional singers. Quite good signal here, better than usual, and not so strong on // 7475. Same at 0650 check, and even at 0707. Is Sunday morning Greek Orthodox service. From John Babbis` translation of the current schedule, it lasts almost 2.25 hours:
7475* 9420 KHz Only
0600-0700 Divine Liturgy (Connect. With NET 105.8)
9420 15630 KHz Only
0700-0815 Divine Liturgy (Connect. With NET 105.8)
*Transmission ends 10 min. earlier
And indeed, 7475 no longer heard at 0704 check, but 9420 still in well (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. 9730 at 1430 Dec 6, ``Govorit Tegeran, Golos Islamikiy Respublikiy Irana`` [pardon my declension guesses], VIRI opening Russian hour, good but fluttery and unusually better than BBC Singapore 9740; anthem, 1431 Qur`an mercifully brief, 1432 already back to Russian announcement. At 1434 came across // 9575, but on the latter, undermodulated and distorted.
9730 is 250 kW, 26 degrees from Ahwaz site, while 9575 is 500 kW, 330 degrees from Sirjan site, the latter closer to USward, but inferior here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [non]. 11705, NHKWNRJ, VG via Canada, Sunday Dec 6 at 1415-1429 with monthly on first Sunday World of Haiku feature, which I always enjoy hearing; it`s a subprogram within World Interactive. And it`s so nice not to have to worry about the pre-echo as this season the // from Yamata direct is on 5955 instead of 11705 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA [and non]. Propagation favored eastward rather than westward paths on 31m Dec 6 at 0645. On 9840 just Russian from R. Rossii, Moscow-area site rather than VOR English co-channel from DVR site; and nothing audible from Vladivostok on 9855 either. Was also hearing CW time pips on 9996, no doubt RWM Moscow as previously around this hour.
DRM noise 9670-9675-9680, Dec 6 at 1434. Listed as VOR via Moskva site, 100 kW, 260 degrees at 14-18. Obscuring what little signal from Indonesia may be there on 9680 as 9525.9 was JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. Blessed relief from WWRB, running open carrier again instead of scheduled Brother Scare, Dec 6 at 0637 on 3185. But is anyone paying attention in Walterboro or Manchester? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TUNISIA [and non]. 7335 with big collision between RTT and Vatican Radio, Dec 6 at 0607, Arabic atop some Scandinavian language, with RTT // 7275 and VR // 6185, buried there both by Brasil and México. Vatican runs until 0620 (also colliding with even stronger VOR via GUF until 0600), while Sfax is registered not starting 7335 until 0700, but we know it is on much earlier. This needs to be resolved as Vatican and Tunisia are not that far apart, causing mutual interference all over. And to think, a recent HFCC even took place in Tunis! I wonder if they were confused about timezones in claiming to be on from 0700 instead of 0600? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Re my report of WHW283 on 6224, Dec 2: I should have said the difference between the listed frequency and the SSB reference frequency [i.e. where the carrier is inserted] is the typical 1400 Hz, not 1140 Hz as miscalculated; corrected portion:
The 6.22540 MHz listing apparently relates to a reference frequency 1400 Hz below it which is the way to report SSB logs, 6224.0 kHz and could also be on 6227.0. Oops, grant expired 5.8 years ago! Outdated info on this page? Looks like a daily 9 am CT net (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. While on weekdays, WINB takes a break 14-16 UT between two airings of convicted and sentenced child sex offending evangelist Tony Alamo, on Sunday 9265 still on the air past 1400 Dec 6 with some other preacher; next check at 1514, 13570 already on the air with another preacher. But the transmitter is upacting now, carrier more unstable than usual and also outputting spurs worst at modulation peaks circa 13530-13550 and 13500-13520, interfering with more and more CODAR; also audible around 13600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9955, WRMI amid WORLD OF RADIO 1489, Sunday Dec 6 at 1630, just barely audible, and with SAH either from residual DentroCuban jamming or more likely YFR Russian via TAIWAN. I conclude that WRMI is still unable to use its NW-aimed antenna which could overcome all this, and must stay on the SSE antenna instead. Daily at 15-17 it`s supposed to be USward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 11805, Dec 6 at 1446 with slow songs, good signal; trying to decide if they are Turkish or Persian; let`s split the difference with Kurdish, for it is the VOA Kurdish service via Biblis, GERMANY (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. Aló, Presidente check, Sunday Dec 6 via CUBA: at 1520, nothing showing on 13750 or any of the other frequencies. But at 1623, 13750 was on with Hugo pontificating; at 1627 also much weaker signal on 12010 and even weaker but detectable on 11690. Seemed to be carriers on 13680 and 17750 but could not confirm them as A,P (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
** CUBA. RHC philately show in English, UT Sunday Dec 6 at 0609 on 6060, 6010; and much weaker 6140 instead of Spanish. UT Sunday Dec 6 at 0708, the weekly RHC Esperanto service in progress, on 6060 only.

2. Stations
During the contest bc stations on long- and mediumwave should be logged.
3. Participation Conditions
Participation is free and irrespective of any listener's club membership. Newcomers as well as medium wave specialists can participate. Every station has to be heard at least for 10 minutes. Notes on the programme heard have to be logged as detailed as possible to really identify the station (no empty phrases like "music", "news" etc.).
4. Scoring
Every bc station heard on longwave and mediumwave can be logged.
Logs without a clear identification will be awarded only one third of the points achievable for this station. Points for a certain log are depending on the CIRAF zone of the particular station. The CIRAF zones are based on the publication "EDXC RADIO Countries" that we will provide together with this invitation.
Scoring scheme:
Station logged from the same CIRAF zone as the place of reception - 10 points Station logged from a CIRAF zone bordering the zone containing the place of reception - 20 points All other stations - 30 points
Example:
Your place of reception (QTH) is in Germany - therefore your CIRAF zone is 28. All stations from this zone are worth 10 points. Logs from CIRAF zones bordering zone 28 are worth 20 points. In this case bordering zones are 18, 27, 29, 37, 38 and 39. Stations from any other CIRAF zone are worth 30 points.
5. Sending your logs
Please send all your logs in one single (!) email until 10. Jan 2010 per email to contest@wavetalk.org using the following format:
"frequency - date - time - ITU - station - SIO - details"
e.g.:
"1395 - 22/12/2009 - 2200 - G - Big L - 333 - Music (Michael Jackson "Thriller", ID „Big L", Music (Santana "Maria")"
Please also do not forget to send your real name, your place of reception (QTH), your RX and Ant. details as well as the CIRAF zone you are in! We will be using this data for the complete listing of all logs.
6. Award
Every participant will receive a participation certificate showing individual score and ranking prompt after the contest has finished.

La sua avventura tra scoperte geniali e tante passioni. In replica anche in nottata alle 05.00. Anche LA7 commemorerà Marconi proprio il 10 dicembre alle 17.00, giovedì, giorno in cui nel 1909 ricevette il prestigioso riconoscimento.
Glenn Hauser logs December 3-5, 2009
** BRAZIL [and non]. 6185, RNA, *0631 Dec 4, wiping out XEPPM which was playing some nice Mexican music. The earliest I have caught Brasília cutting on so far. Altho quite different, I might enjoy the Brazilian music too except I resent what they are doing to Mexico, and Radio Educación still has enough co-channel signal to make RNA listening unpleasant (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Dec 4 at 1420: 8400 fair, 9000 poor, 10210 JBA. Dec 5 at 1334: 8400 poor, 9000 JBA, 10210 & 11300 zilch (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6140, RHC mostly in English in the 05-07 period, but Dec 4 it was back in Spanish at 0612 check, much lower modulation than // 6150, 6120.
6010, RHC, UT Sat Dec 5 at 0609, ``Ed Newman`` with ``Thursday night`` news, but this is Friday night! Stories included Comcast buying NBC, which could be 24+ hours old, and Bobby Woods ``executed last night in Texas``. That occurred at 6:40 pm CST Thursday Dec 3, so it`s Ed who must have been confused about the current day, rather than a 24-hour-old program being played, which certainly could happen at this erratic station (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CZECHIA [and non]. 9845-9850-9855, DRM noise Sat Dec 5 at 1341, not usually heard here. It`s R. Prague via Woofferton Fri and Sat only at 13-14 in German and English per own sked, 35 kW.
Fortunately, R. Prague also still broadcasts in analog which I have no trouble decoding; less than a semihour later on 13580, Dec 5 at 1409, offbeat stories including a goat escaping pursuers into a town named Goat-Eaters, punxuated by Dixieland music. Show might be named ``News of the Weird`` but already taken; instead it is just ``Magazine`` and 1412 into SoundCzech, as described in the schedule: ``Magazine - The show that starts where the news ends - we bring you the stories you might otherwise have missed. SoundCzech - learn useful Czech phrases through song lyrics``. You can hear all this 25 hours later on WRMI, 9955; or not, depending on antenna use and jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. AIR National Channel, Dec 5 at 1318 with IS on 9425 fair, // blobless 9470 poor at sign-on. As usual, VBS on 9870 was much better (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. VOI missing from 9526 and 9525, Dec 4 at 1425 during Malay hour. Wish I had checked an hour earlier for English, but probably the same. No carrier at all detectable now. Don`t think it was propagation, as RRI home service on 9680 was S9+15, fair with dialog in Indonesian. Altho seldom with adequate modulation, 9525.9 had been reliably on the air the last few weeks.
Next day Dec 5 at 1338, 9525.9 had a very poor but detectable carrier, and JBA modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PORTUGAL [and non]. 15560, RDPI with usual big weekend signal, Dec 5 at 1420; during pauses could hear squeal on the transmission. Modulation somewhat distorted, not just, I think, due to selective fading. Program: Hotel Internacional which is really a pop music chart show, nothing to do with the hostelry biz, Sats 1410-1500. Plays same jingle between each pair of songs.
Some of the songs in English so not clear to me just what the parameters are. This page has audio files of last few shows, says based on Tabela AFP: http://ww1.rtp.pt/multimedia/index.php?prog=1278
This page autolaunches the `latest` show, still 11/28 as of three hours after airing new one 12/5
http://ww1.rtp.pt/programas-rtp/index.php?e_id=&c_id=5&dif=radio&p_id=1278
So we have yet more musical choices on 19m Saturday mornings: from 1430 on 15700, R. Bulgaria`s rather more exotic folk music show; on 15410, R. Farda with its mix of Farsi and western pop music; 15330, R. Martí`s music documentary, this week at 1445 on Trio Los Panchos, but that`s mostly narration, with musical clips (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. RRI won`t speak English to us in our mornings any more, but on 11940, Dec 5 at 1353 after kid`s squeaky voice in Romanian, at least played cowboy song in English, ``Wherever You Go, We Go, Amigo``. VG signal here as well as in German on 11970 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** THAILAND [and non]. 7365, at 1314 Dec 5, R. Thailand with English ID in transition from Japanese to Chinese, over co-channel QRM already in Mandarin. In this case I don`t think it is deliberate ChiCom jamming, but a genuine collision which should have been avoided, as CNR1 Shijiazhuang site is also scheduled on 7365 at 1200-1735, 37 degrees. The CIRAF zones even match at #44 for the Mandarin quarter-hour from Thailand, so a red flag, if you`ll pardon the expression, should have gone up at HFCC coordination meeting. Also, the A-09 frequency for these languages, 9455, was not collided or jammed. At 1332, HSK9 had switched to Thai for the rest of the hour, still with Chinese clash (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. VOT English on 12035 is still having distorted modulation problems, Dec 5 at 1352 vocal music; 1400 multi-lingual ID filler for two minutes, then more pop music. Good signal level today, anyway. This is one of the supposedly refurbished Çakirlar transmitters (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 13835, Dec 5 at 1406, Nutcracker Suite playing, but in Dec that doesn`t mean any newfound commitment to classical music, just the must-play most-hackneyed seasonal `favorite`, WEWN slipping into secularity, ooooh, but by 1414 back to sacredarity with organ music; unsolid signal as usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DGIEST)
** U S A [and non]. VOA, 15205, Friday Dec 4 at 1433 with Reporters` Notebook, stronger but echoier on // 11985, and weaker on 9760. I can`t find this show on the VOA A-Z program list, tho there is one with a similar name, Reporters` Roundtable supposedly on the African service at 1730. This was not about Africa; one of the segments in the discussion included Dan Robinson from Capitol Hill. I wonder what the other times for it are, if any. It was revived after cancellation.
Assuming the separate VOA A-Z language transmission schedule is correct, and that all frequencies carry the same English programming during this hour, the entire frequency list at 1430 is: 7575 9760 9930 11985 12150 15205 15580 17650 17715.
7405, somewhat above or equal to DentroCuban jamming level, UT Sat Dec 5 at 0556, surprised to hear VOA jingle and editorial in Spanish about Pres. Obama`s Afghanistan policy, but this is Radio Martí. 0600 back to RM programming with ``Noche de Paz`` Xmas carol. There have been reports that VOA Spanish service would be encroaching on RM territory due to budget restraints, etc., so maybe this is a sign of it.
OR: RM has always run VOA editorials and I just haven`t noticed. However, it had been a long-standing policy for VOA to keep the not exactly objective RM at least an arm`s length away, lest it damage VOA`s own reputation. Makes no diff to the Cubans, who jam both.
VOA Spanish service for sure, 9885, Sat Dec 5 at 1342 with Éxitos Latinoamericanos ``en VOASat e internet`` but no mention of SW! And back to pop music really in Spanish for a change. This Greenville signal was rather weak and AIR VBS, one sesquidekakHz away on 9870 from the other worldside was axually much better.
11635, at 1349 Dec 5, ME music which must have been Kurdish, as shortly IDed as ``Denge Amerike, Washington`` and VOA jingle. It`s 104 degrees from Lampertheim, GERMANY, but uncomfortably close to Arabic on 11630 starting Qur`an, i.e. KUWAIT at 230 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3956-LSB, Dec 5 at 0535 anti-Catholic polemic being read by a ham, allegedly quoting Cardinal Newman, etc., to effect that the RCC is either totally representing God, or the Devil, ``Kingdom of Evil`` and the Vatican has the Devil sequestered within its walls.
Gave ID as KC0EBM at 0538, paused, no one replied, and then resumed. Another ID at 0541 and apparently finished for time being. No attempt at 2-way contacts, but at least he IDed. Trouble is, only once each, not clearly and no fonetix. I am pretty sure it was KC0EBM, but could have been EBN. ARRL lookup shows, from official FCC public info:
FRIESS, THOMAS E, KC0EBM (General)
3320 WILLIS
PERRY, IA 50220
While KC0EBN is a previous call sign for someone else, now W0ARL
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. On the caradio circa 2030 UT Dec 3, noticed a lo audible het on 1410, primary groundwave station here being Wichita, but skywave already inkicking. The just updated MW offsets website has hundreds of entries, many of them really LW, and a relative few SW, but only a few US stations are mentioned on 1410, of which only this one is a possibility, by proximity and rough het pitch, but the info is 2.75 years old: 1410 1409.952 USA WDSK (Cleveland, MS) 20070303
http://www.mwlist.org/mwoffset.php?khz=
(Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, X LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6074, 8GAL weak but identifiable with usual V/CQ marker, and a good thing I intuned early as it already started about 15 sex before 1400:00 Dec 4 as Russia was about to go off. But strangely, nothing heard from either China which are usually already ramping up their radio war a few minutes before and to dominate 6075 thence (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6925, Dec 5 at 1325 melodic unrecognized song, poor signal to 1327* off with no announcement. No doubt a pirate; I think WBNY has been active in the mornings, but not much to go on here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
** CHINA. Firedrake Dec 4 at 1420: 8400 fair, 9000 poor, 10210 JBA. Dec 5 at 1334: 8400 poor, 9000 JBA, 10210 & 11300 zilch (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs December 3, 2009
** BURMA [non]. 17495, weak signal in unID language, Dec 3 at 1433 and still at 1522. Has to be Democratic Voice of Burma, the only thing scheduled, at 1430-1530 via MADAGASCAR. Well, WBCQ is also registered here but has not used this frequency in years; kept as an alternate to 15420 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Dec 3 at 1324: nil on 9000, 11300, JBA on 8400, 10210 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CYPRUS. 11640-11665, OTH radar pulses, presumed from here, Dec 3 at 1400, not really bothering any broadcasters audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. AIR National Channel, signing on Dec 3 at 1319 IS, 1320 Vande Mataram announced and that anthem played, poor on 9425 and very poor on 9470, but no blob. Meanwhile, VBS on 9870 from Bengaluru, same transmitter site as 9425 but different azimuth, was a great deal better at 1329 with music, mentioned Masala, 1330 ``Yih Vividh Bharati`` ID by YL, 3-pip TOH timesignal which was 6 sex late compared to WWV! And Akashvani ID, presumed news (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9525.9, VOI modulation in English somewhat better Dec 3 before 1400, and even better during the Malay hour following, which 1435-1455 was almost all music, more modern than the gamelan on RRI 9680, with similar signal and modulation. 1457, 9525.9 IDed only in English, not Malay, and immediately cut off air before CRI Kashgar could cut on. Usually there is an overlap as VOI restarts English and a few minutes of that goes out past 1500 before its own very rude and abrupt cutoff (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 6104.8, XEQM Mérida, Dec 3 at 1338, conversation in Spanish fading in and out, then music with heavy beat; no het, but splash from Cuba 6110. Made sure it was really not on 6105.0, where it seems we have a one-hour no-QRM window between Taiwan closing at 1300 and VOA Philippines opening at 1400, nominal times. XEOI was also in clear on 6010 with much better signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** POLAND [non]. PRES, cane across 11860 in English at 1345 Thursday Dec 3, so quickly retuned to always better // 11675 via AUSTRIA. Slawek Szefs was talking about the ubiquitous Christopher Lewis, who is going to visit R. Prague next week, and wants a report from him about that. Then clips of Chris on phone edited tightly together about PRES reception in England:
11675 is perfect every day; 11860 has some co-channel interference. 9650 in the evening (1800) is a total washout, a shame since it`s just not listenable, very weak, not worth the expense, due to propagation conditions, and low modulation. Altho two days last week it was outstanding, faded out by 25 past the hour. Suggest change of site for this from UAE to Austria or somewhere better for Europe. France or even UK would be preferable on 3 MHz band, where Skelton is well heard relaying other stations.
This was the Multimedia show, ending at 1349, then promo for Off Sides, a sports-cum-music show on Fridays, repeated weekends, and then today, Letter from Poland, by a YL visitor, or resident from abroad, complaining amusingly about how hard it is to travel by train, due to confusing signage and grouchy ticket agents. 1357 signing off, 1358 filling with a bit of Polish reggae, or so it sounded (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 12035, VOT, Thursday Dec 3 at 1416, fair signal but low modulation and cutting out, distorted toward end of Live from Turkey. Not even worth checking // 15300, colliding as it does with France (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9385, WWRB with open carrier only at 1320 Dec 3, and still 1325, after having moved up from 3185. Next check not until 1435 when Brother Scare had begun modulating madness sometime in the interim (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Almost three weeks after `Tony Alámo` was sentenced to 175 years for child sexual abuse, he`s still on WINB, Dec 3 around 1335 on 9265. I wasn`t going to bother to report this again, but there is something else to outpoint: 9265 signs off at 1400, but other frequency 13570 had still not come on at 1524, which means that on weekdays, they have nothing between the two Hoffman broadcasts at 13-14 and 16-17 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 5000, right after the WWV propagation info finished at 18 past the hour, circa 1318:30, Dec 3, I heard a bit of CW, but not prepared to copy. I wonder if this is when BPM China identifies; must be alert for it again. 5030 was in well from Beijing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

EXTRA GRIMETON RADIO / SAQ TRANSMISSION
There will be a transmission with the Alexanderson alternator on 17,2 kHz on December 10 2009 at 08:00 UTC and will be repeated at 16:00 UTC the same day.
The reason for the extra transmission is a centenary commemoration of the Nobel Prize given to Guglielmo Marconi and Karl Ferdinand Brown.

Glenn Hauser logs December 2, 2009
** BRAZIL [and non]. The Dec 2 cut-on time for RNA Brasília, blasting away drumming played by XEPPM MEXICO on 6185 was: *0637 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Dec 2 at 1351: nil on 8400, poor on 9000, very poor on 10210, just barely audible on 11300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. CNR1 Beijing, 5030, still audible in Chinese as late as 1520 Dec 2 eased by weakening Cuba 5025, and usual fast SAH which I can only assume is Malaysia Sarawak, always underneath. // 4460 CNR1 not audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CYPRUS. 12460-12485, OTH radar pulses, presumed from here, Dec 2 at 1410, mixing with CODAR on the hi side (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA [and non]. 9525.9, VOI modulation somewhat better Dec 2 at 1356 in English giving website http://www.voi.co.id Fairly weak het from Kashgar 9525.0 cut on at 1457, so could still hear VOI at 1501 transitioning from Malay back to English, program summary for today`s date, 1502 news starting with something about villages in Bali, 1503 cut off, clearing CRI English, the weak signal left (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SWEDEN. What luck, heard R. Sweden on both 9360 and weaker 9400, Dec 2 at 1459 with IS, ID and opening Swedish, both from Hörby, 125 and 100 degrees respectively. And --- both bothered by splatter from WWRB/Brother Scare on 9385, so neither really listenable. In this area you have to be careful to match the spurs/splash with 9385 or 9370 whence WTJC also makes a mess (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9265, `Tony Alámo` still on WINB, 9265, Dec 2 at 1353 as he started to sing ``Mister DJ``. O, how we shall miss him, but when? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 6224-USB, Dec 2 at 1506, WHW283 calling various vessels(?) by name rather than callsign. Brief check-ins, always responded to with ``if you have nothing else, I`ll talk to you in the morning``.
Was not certain of callsign since op slurred it, could have been ``three-eighty-three``. He was too close to the mike or something, distorting, but no accent. Most of the captains replying had Spanish accents, and much weaker signals, and `283 greeted them by their mostly Spanish names.
Some calls went to: at 1508, Queen Mary (not, I assume, the original one), 1510 Veracruz, 1511 Santa Mónica. The last one did not reply and shortly afterwards WHW283 quit. In next few minutes did hear a few inter-ship(?) contacts, including funny cartoonish voice, jajajajajá; 1519 some whistling.
Googling on the callsign I got one significant hit, http://www.city-data.com/towers/other-Port-Isabel-Texas.html listing a whole bunch of stations, few of them HF, including this:
``400 Washington St (Lat: 26.087861 Lon: -97.206083), Type: Building, Overall height: 3 m, Call Sign: WHW283, Licensee ID: L00001942

The 6.22540 MHz listing apparently relates to a reference frequency 1140 Hz below it which is the way to report SSB logs, 6224.0 kHz and could also be on 6227.0. Oops, grant expired 5.8 years ago! Outdated info on this page? Looks like a daily 9 am CT net (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs November 30-December 1, 2009
** BRAZIL. On some nights, RHC inbooms on 11760, but not Dec 1 at 0625; instead, hardly any signal to bother 11765, David Miranda evangelical empire, heard him wailing from ZYE726, SRDA/R. Tupi, Curitiba, per Aoki 10 kW at 20 degrees and off the air [not] at 03-09 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BURKINA FASO. 5030, RTB is doubtless the reactivated station here, but tough copy against Cuba 5025 splash. Dec 1 at 0622, definitely in French talk, mixed with music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Dec 1 at 1426: fair on 9000, poor on 8400, 10210; possibly a trace on 11300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC Dec 1: at 0630, 6140 in English, usual weak modulation with phone ringing in background compared to loud and clear // 6010 and 6060, the latter also without Spanish mixture which was previously the case (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA [and non]. Checked for further airings of AIR GOS Faithfully Yours, the mailbag on Monday, Nov 30: at 1830, none of the frequencies were audible, especially 9445 only 5 kHz from center of Greenville DRM still running. At 2130, however, most of the frequencies were just barely audible, best, if you can call it that, on 9445; sounds like same program as until 1446 on 9690, 13710, OM announcer speaking directly to listeners, finished at 2135 and on to music. Some days, 9445 is quite listenable around this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA [and non]. 9525.9, VOI, Dec 1 at 1343, S9+18v carrier but just barely modulated and could not even tell if there was yet another Tuesday co-produxion with RRI Banjarmasin. Also yet another Spanish 2-way SSB intruder below it circa 9522.5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO [and non]. 6185, R. Educación Dec 1 at 0637 with classical string music, bothered by intruding ute bursts on lo side from around 6180, somewhere between tweeting canary sounds and machine gun; alternating three different rates, slow, fast, and faster until 0642. At *0645 sharp onpops RNA Brasília covering up XEPPM with 4:45 timecheck (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** POLAND [non]. 11675, PRES via AUSTRIA, Dec 1 at 1353 interviews at a noisy party about director of a film ``My Father, the Iron Curtain`` to be on BBC et al. in Europe; was program International Focus, implying it`s always about the cinema? 1357 closing with postal address at 00977 Warsaw, e-mail english.section @ polishradio.pl then song in Brazilian until cut off at 1359:30. Portuguese? Did their finger slip on some menu instead of adjacent Polish? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WBCQ uses 9330 only on weekdays at 1900-2000+, so after hearing it on 9333 instead, Thu-Fri Nov 26-27, we had to wait until Nov 30 to recheck it. At 1900: back on 9330.0-CUSB opening Money Talks. Mark Taylor says there was no carrier when he was hearing it on 9333, and we can`t go back to recheck that now, but there is definitely a much reduced carrier now on 9330 as usual. I don`t think that`s coming from Syria, but to be sure checked again at 1956 after Syria is usually off, and same as before. At 2017 neither WBCQ nor Syria to be heard, tho Frecuencia al Día was running on 7415.
After some 14 months of occupying an `available time slot`, WORLD OF RADIO was replaced by something else on WBCQ, Monday Nov 30 at 2300. This leaves WOR on WBCQ only at 2000-2030 Tue/Wed/Thu on 7415; UT Fri 0100-0130 on 5110v (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WTJC, 9370 again putting out noise spurs above and below, but don`t seem quite symmetrical, Dec 1 at 1346 peaking around 9342 and 9398 (Glenn Hauser, OK DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. It`s now 18 days since Bernie LaZar Hoffmann, a.k.a. ``Tony Alámo`` was sentenced to 175 years in prison for child sexual abuse, and he`s still welcome to pretend to evangelize on WINB, easily recognized mumbling Dec 1 during one of his three weekdaily hours, 1347 UT on 9265. Appropriately, in a recording which could be 25+ years old, he was talking about ``convicting you``, altho he may have meant ``convincing`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Missing yesterday from 13845, WWCR was back Dec 1 at 1400 with DGS, only fair signal with no Es help (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 15770 in uncertain language, 1500-1505 Dec 1, mentioned Washington DC a couple times, but did not hear any VOA jingles or ID. Nevertheless, it`s VOA in Hausa at 1500-1530 only, 100 kW, 350 degrees from BOTSWANA. No more collision here between WYFR and RDPI both in Portuguese before 1500 as in A-09 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
