Glenn Hauser logs December 3-5, 2011

** CHINA. Firedrake Dec 4, before 2400:
16700, fair at 2357; none in the 17s, 18s
16100, very good at 2357
14970, fair at 2359
13920, fair at 2359-2400*; none in the 12s
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9810, Sunday Dec 4 at 2352 UT, middle repeat airing of RHC`s `En Contacto` in progress as Manolo conveys good news that the special QSL cards designed by a Guatemalan listener, commemorating Manolo & Malena`s 35th anniversary on RHC (tho she has now retired/withdrawn), of which only ten were printed, have been reprinted, so it`s not too late to send a report and get one of those rarities. Responding to an inquiry, Manolo mentions something else that gets my attention: in giving the new times for EC since Nov 13, he says that Cuba`s time change was on that date.

I thought it was Oct 30, as in previous years it was the last Sunday in October; in 2010: Oct 31. I`m quite sure that when I checked http://www.timeanddate.com/time/dst/2011.html
in late October 2011, it did show Oct 30, 2011, but now it too shows Sunday Nov 13, 2011 as the DST end date. So that explains why RHC`s Spanish and some of its other programming abruptly shifted one real UT hour later on that date. Why Nov 13? Just to be out of step with the Great Satan, er, I mean Imperalismo Yanqui; and the rest of the world.

It does not explain why any serious international SW service would be governed by local time changes --- either stay on UT constantly, or change on the dates in your target area(s), NOT local time, which should be irrelevant (unless you are really talking to yourselves). Nor does it explain why any DST is necessary in a tropical country where there is little variation in sunrise-sunset times.

Manolo gave these Sunday times for EC: 1435, ``sobre 2340``, meaning approximately --- must have started around then this week, but some weeks already at 2335; and 0235 [UT Mondays].

I had started listening on 9810, then found 9710 was stronger, but modulation there cutting out below peaks; skipping 25m, 13690 was better, and 13640 was best. Why would the European antenna roughly 90 degrees off from here surpass the S American antenna, roughly opposite from here? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 89.5 MHz, Dec 3 at 1830 UT, parked near the intersexion of West OK Garriott and Oakwood Rd, after consuming three free pancakes at IHOP, there is a fully-quieted strong signal here with hum. I assume it is a nearby car with an RF feeder left on. In the next hour I drive a mile west and a mile east and I am still hearing it, altho starting to lose out. That`s a lot of range for an RF feeder. Then Dec 4 at 2150 I am again hearing it as far as another two-three miles east, toward downtown Enid.

FCC FM Query for OK does not show any likely sources; there is a 205-watt CSN satellator in OKC, which is enough to block 50 kW KWGS Tulsa from getting into the OKC area, but that can`t be what I am getting in Enid. Must keep an ear on 89.5. See DXLD 11-18 where I had another 89.5 carrier last May, discovered right across the street from IHOP at Braum`s dairy store. If it keeps up I really must try to track it down exactly. Or maybe someone`s `part 15` warming up for an Xmas sound and light show like we had last winter? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 6055, Dec 5 at 0007 I notice that REE`s English hour is instead dead air, open carrier. I leave a receiver on there for a bihour: no automatic timesignal at 0030, FWIW. Still DA past 0100 when would normally go into Castilian, still DA at 0145; finally at 0152 Spanish modulation cuts on, and timesignal is back at 0200. Someone finally woke up at Noblejas. Fortunately for regular listeners, I think the English shows for Sundays are just repeats from earlier in the week (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 9430, Dec 4 at 2348, Xmas music with organ has taken over 9425 where I had been listening to Hindi comedy music, including yodeling a bihour earlier in the madrugada there. It`s // 9355, 15400, and best by far 15440. So YFR is still emitting only one program stream from Okeechobee, due to ``meltdown`` of automation system a few weeks ago, all English instead of Spanish, Portuguese, French or English as originally scheduled for B-11 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1593 monitoring: starting 0333 UT Monday Dec 5 confirmed on Area 51 webcast,
http://www.splatterbox.us:5110/listen.pls
following Larry Will`s Free Radio (Live) program; and presumably also on WBCQ 5110v-CUSB. This was a last minute change, after announcement that WOR could no longer be carried after 0400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs December 5, 2011

** CANADA [and non]. 6030, Dec 5 at 0640, ``Here Comes Santy Claus``, by cowboy singer, Gene-Autry-like, or himself? No jamming for a change, allowing CFVP`s hectowatt to penetrate from Calgary, two megameters away. However, from only slightly further in the opposite direxion, overkill RHC English frequencies nearby, 6010 and 6050, not to mention 6060 and 6125, were overloading and desensitizing the FRG-7, so CFVP audible only at minor peaks (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake Dec 5, before 1400:
15900, very poor at 1352
14970, very poor at 1349; none in the 16s, 17s, 18s
12230, JBA at 1354; none in the 13s
11500, poor at 1354; none in the 10s
 9200, very good at 1355; none in the 7s

Before 1600:
 9200, good at 1535; none higher up to 19 MHz by 1538
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 10000, Dec 5 at 1359, under strong WWV, hear CW ID for BPM, and I thought a quick voice announcement instead of WWVH? Just before WWV voice announcement (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9540, Dec 5 at 1357, tuning across RHC, caught partial frequency announcement including ``13680`` which has been abandoned this season. 1358 asserts ``las nueve de la mañana en todo el territorio nacional`` and starting `news`. They should turn on Radio Reloj in the RHC studios to find out what time it really is. Furthermore it`s rhetorical fluff always to say ``all over the country``. Of course it`s the same time all over Cuba, in one single timezone. But let`s hope the time is two minutes fast only at RHC. At least this station has never employed timesignals, which would be far beyond its capabilities to convey correctly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FRANCE [and non]. 5925, Dec 5 at 0634, RFI news in French // 7390, so strike not in effect here at the moment.

17690, Dec 5 at 1601, RFI Musique already replacing news in Spanish, VG signal now as during previous airing at 1400 on exactly same parameters, 250 kW, 305 degrees from GUIANA FRENCH, including southern/eastern USA among official CIRAF targets. HFCC says 1600-1630 is M-F only, while Aoki says both are sevendays.

Announcement in French, not Spanish, at 1603 reminds us that RFI en Phnom Penh is on four-score-and-twelve MHz. 1608 playing Aretha in a song similar to R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

15300 direct checked at 1606 is newsing in French, unstricken (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA SOUTH [and non]. 6600, Dec 5 at 1349, Korean talk well atop noise jamming, which is unusual, and almost as much on // 6518, i.e. V. of the People, clandestine from the South to the North, altho Aoki says it`s 50 kW non-direxional, vs 250 kW from each jammer. Hmm, since does not broadcast in English, we ought to learn its Korean ID as in WRTH 2011: ``Inmin-e sori pangsong-imnida``, or ISPI, which would be an appropriate initialism for a station really run by the S. Korean National Intelligence Service! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MAURITANIA. 7245, Dec 5 at 0639 and last check 0650, still not on the air this date; you never know whether they will be on late, on early, or not at all. Yet, when on, there does not seem to be anything wrong with the transmitter, and spot-on frequency. Are there severe power supply unreliability problems even in the capital Nouakchott? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. Sunrise MW DX December 5, UT, only poor signals with no big SRS boost at the moment:

700, Dec 5 at 1319 UT, poor signal with 8-note tune on fiddle repeated over and over almost like an IS; 1320 gobierno federal PSA, 1321 another similar tune. 1325 a few words in unknown language, then repetitive drumming; fading by 1330. Sounds quite rustic, an indigenous station? Most likely XEETCH, La Voz de los Tres Rios, Etchojoa, Sonora, which 2011 IRCA Mexican log says broadcasts in Spanish, Mayo [sic], Yaqui and Garijio. BTW, I previously logged this in late November 2010, but it was erroneously published in Dec 2011 CIDX Messenger as a 2011 log, along with several others.

Another indigenous on 700 is XEXPUJ, X`pujil, Campeche, La Voz de la Sierra Norte [sic], LV del Corazón de la Selva, in Spanish, Mayan and Choi languages --- but it`s a bit late in the day for it, and my log was looping WSW. How in the world do you pronounce X`pujil?

710, Dec 5 at 1320 UT, ad or promotion mentions an auditorio [building, not audience] somewhere, ``B-M Radio``, so XEDP in Ciudad Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua, briefly atop QRM, KGNC? This slogan/corporate name is not found in the IRCA Log, but here`s a view: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/8957899

730, Dec 5 at 1323 UT, Radio Viva Villa singing ID, i.e. XEHB, San Francisco del Oro, a.k.a. Hidalgo del Parral, Chihua2; as heard better many October mornings. Its very name could be construed as anti-American (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TAIWAN [non]. 6875, Dec 5 at 0638, RTI still in German instead of Spanish via WYFR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15825, Dec 5 at 1604, WWCR-1 seems to have cleaned up its signal, not splattering over half the 19m band, but how about the plus/minus 15.6 kHz spurs? I can still detect JBA carriers just below 15810 and above 15840; fundamental is strong but not super-strong at the moment which would bring up the spurs, and possibly the splatter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs December 4, 2011

** CHINA. Firedrake Dec 4:
12600, good at 1447; none in the 9s, 10s, 11s, 13s, 14s, 15s, 16s, 17s, 18s.
At 1524 none at all found, not even 12600
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13750, Dec 4 at 1410, RHC on nonsensical Sunday-only frequency, and this time 9850 is absent, as `Amigos de Cuba` themed mailbag program is starting: no dissing allowed there!

I did not start early enough to find whether 13750 was on 13690 instead before 1400 as last week due to jamming VOA on 13750 daily until 1400. 13750, not 9850 also applied to `En Contacto` at 1435-1451. Manolo keeps promoting the Dec 25 show, repeated Jan 1, which will name all their listener-contactors during 2011y (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CYPRUS. 15240-15265, Dec 4 at 1418, intruding OTH radar, hi pulse rate, presumed from here? Mainly blasting a broadcaster on 15245, i.e. Poland in Russian via Woofferton UK (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FRANCE [and non]. 7220, Dec 4 at 0615, RFI is back in business, English news, or rather sports segment about football, instead of strike-filling RFI-Musique; but 7390 French service is still in musique. English also JBA on // 9765, but 7220 goes off as usual at 0630, apparently mistaken feed instead of scheduled Hausa. Other Hausa frequency 9805 too weak to be sure of.

17690, Dec 4 at 1421 via GUIANA FRENCH, RFI with music, but then Spanish narration, so this service too is (temporarily?) back to programming instead of RFI-Musique fill. Is the strike over or not? Seems they `roll` it, hitting and missing different services from day to day.

17620, Dec 4 at 1427, however, the French service direct, is still en grève with RFI-Musique, including an ID in English as RFI-Music, then didgeridoo, in laudable eclecticism (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MAURITANIA [and non]. 7245, Dec 4 at 0623, no signal from IGIM, but next tuneby 0628 there it is, chanting, as 250 kW SMG has also just popped on adjacent 7250, taking over from 10 kW usually inaudible Vatican Garden unit (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TUNISIA. 7375, Dec 4 until 0630* IWT closes abruptly, apparently ex -0627* so reset the timer? IWT = short for the Arabic ID as in WRTH 2011: ``Idh`atu-l-Wataniya at-Tunisiya``. Since it`s all in Arabic, why keep referring to it by French name? // 7335 continues, free of co-channel Vatican after 0620 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs December 3-4, 2011

** ALBANIA. 7425, Dec 4 at 0240 UT, R. Tirana is back here again after starting the 0230 English broadcast a month ago on 7420. Vacillating? Good signal and modulation tonight, and strong enough to push aside weaker adjacent 7430 QRM, while 7420 and 7415 are vacant (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ARGENTINA [and non]. 13363.5-LSB, Dec 3 at 2317 UT, two or three guys with rapid play-by-play in conosur Spanish of some silly ballgame; one of them interrupts frequently for quick commercial plugs of about 5 seconds each, and at 2319 an ID for LS4, Radio Continental goes by just as quickly, which I reconfirm in WRTH 2011 originates on MW 590; this being one of the Argentine army SW relays to Antarctica(?), a.k.a. LTA, which had a fair signal with some flutter, while 15345+ R. Nacional and 15190 R. Inconfidência were much stronger, but each with added carrier and extra sideband. No sign of AFN Guam, which by a horrible coincidence is on almost the same SSB frequency, when active (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FRANCE [non]. 17630, Dec 3 at 2110 UT, RFI Musique with musique and soon ID as such, replacing Spanish service via GUIANA FRENCH, as the grève continues; excellent signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** RUSSIA. 6135, Dec 4 at 0247-0300* UT, monitoring the St. Petersburg site for special anniversary QSL offer, the last few minutes of VOR Spanish to S America. When it starts before 0000, as previously reported, it heterodynes another weak signal from R. Santa Cruz, Bolivia on 6134.8, but by now 6135 is clear of any QRM, and none on adjacents either. VOR is somewhat undermodulated; SINPO 25422 with heavy fading thru our dynamic ionosphere.

Program is playing excerpts of some American tunes, including one title I recognized for sure. 0256 outro as `Revista Cultural`, music beat fill, 0259 quick sign-off mentions 41 and 49 metros, `Great Gate of Kiev` IS four times, carrier off shortly after 0300. I had to monitor this with portable DX-398 from the porch to get away from computer and TV noise inside; reel-out antenna, temp 38 F and the windchill increasing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17362-USB, Dec 3 at 2105 UT, robotic feminine voice with high seas marine weather, for various coördinates in the NE Pacific, several mentions of gale warnings, distances in ``nautical smiles``, which certainly brought one to my landlubber face. As in DXLD 11-42, this is listed as WLO Mobile AL, not KLB Kent WA. On inside antenna as there was some transient thunder here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5050, Dec 3 at 2309, WWRB still with airtime sales barker loop by Dave Frantz, // 3215 but promoting 3215 and 3195. Yes, back on 5050 ex-5051 for several weeks, no explanations or acknowledgments of the 1-kHz shift and back. Still on 5050 at 0437 recheck Dec 4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15590-15630, Dec 3 at 2310, WEWN English is quite strong on fundamental 15610 plus ``squishy`` spur field peaking around 9 and 18 kHz above and below.

12030-12070, Dec 3 at 2313, WEWN Spanish fundamental 12050 is always ``squealy`` but now it`s resembling 15610 in also putting out a spur field 20 kHz on both sides, main peaks about 8-9 kHz away (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. `Tis the season for daytime MW DX with the Sun approaching its low noon nadir. Dec 3 at 1850 UT [18 minutes after local mean noon] on caradio at a quiet hotspot store parking lot in western Enid, I search for skywave signals, making sure I am far enough away from the building and its security(?) MW noise sources:

830, just barely audible, seems to be discussion about football, heard Minnesota mentioned, unseems play-by-play. Bothered by WBAP 820 splatter especially when emitting bits of music. 830 faded down by ID time at TOH, but surely it`s WCCO, a megameter away. (1500 might do better, but OK and TX stations are there.) Trouble is, the WCCO website shows the 12-1 pm Saturday show is Yard & Garden. But when clicking on podcast for that, it`s headed: ``Join us Saturday at 1 for the S & S Tree Specialists Yard and Garden Show``. I couldn`t find anything on the WCCO website about SBG broadcasts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs December 2-3, 2011

** ANGUILLA. 11775, Dec 3 at 1347, dead air from DGS, The Valley, over lite CCI; left a receiver on here, to find that PMS would finally start modulating in progress at 1414:30 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake Dec 3, before 0700:
17450, first found here during drumming passage, very poor at 0654. New for me, and only one previous report of this one, Nov 13 at 1049 from Arthur Antonio Raimundo in Goiás. Several other signals now on 17 MHz, including CRI Chinese on 17650, German on 17720, EAST TURKISTAN
16980, fair at 0657
16700, very poor at 0657, and vs local cable DTV bubble jammer box
16100, very poor at 0656
15900, poor at 0657
14700, poor at 0658
13970, very poor at 0658
13920, fair at 0658; no others down to 10 MHz by 0700

Before 1400:
17100, very poor with flutter at 1357
13970, very poor at 1352, mixing Chinese talk presumably Sound of Hope
13920, fair at 1352; none lower, nor higher in the 14s, 15s, 16s, 18s

The latest DXLD, http://www.w4uvh.net/dxld1148.txt
contains a periodic compilation by Harold Frodge of all reported Firedrake frequencies this year, ``Crash & Bang Chinese Opera Music Jammers``; Steve Handler also puts out his own Firedrake monitoring grid, but it`s restricted from publication (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FRANCE. The strike at RFI is now in its sixth day. 7220 // 7390 Dec 3 at 0623 with RFI Musique (song in English at the moment) replacing English news which earlier replaced Hausa on 7220, and replacing French on 7390 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [non]. 15720, Dec 3 at 1430, `Sakura` poorly audible, so must be NHK, opening a language, scheduled Hindi via MADAGASCAR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MAURITANIA. 7245, Dec 3 at 0648, IGIM in Arabic music, somewhat chanty but with instrumental accompaniment, not the Qur`anic soloist (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TAIWAN [non]. 6875, ditto several weeks of previous almost-daily chex (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15610, Dec 3 at 1355, WEWN missing, normally on air from 1200; the two Spanish frequencies, 11550 and 12050, were operational nominally. Therefore, also missing were the constant squishy spurs from the English transmitter, 15601 and 15619 being the worst. Meanwhile, some intermittent ute was on 15605, a frequency not listed for any broadcaster. All of WEWN`s signals back on at 1514 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15825, Dec 3 at 1356, horrible modulation in gospel music (?), but announcement about it from Columbia SC was clear; therefore program audio partially far below broadcast quality.

Also, I am daring to hope WWCR has finally fixed severe problems with number one transmitter, as have not noticed it splattering over half the 19m band lately. This signal was merely spreading 15805-15845 or so, so could not either make out the plus/minus 15.6 kHz spurs on 15809.4, 15840.6. Is anyone still hearing those parasites to #1 on this or its other daypart frequencies, 7465, 3195, 3215, 7465? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1593 monitoring: 1628 Dec 3, JBA on 9955, the Sat 1600 airing on WRMI, repeating at 1830, Sun 0900, 1630, 1830, Monday 1230.

Jeff White says the Michael Méndez show UT Fridays at 0430 is in English. So there is never any need for jamming during that hour, including blocking WOR 24 hours earlier, UT Thursday 0430.

On WTWW 5755: UT Sunday 0500.
On WBCQ 7490: Tuesday 2230 (at least it was last week, by surprise)

Larry Will advises that for financial reasons, schedule for Area 51 has to be reduced, so WORLD OF RADIO will no longer be heard, at least for now, UT Mondays at 0400 on WBCQ 5110v-CUSB; nor International Radio Report at 0430. Our thanks to Larry for availablizing WOR when possible, and we hope financial support for A51 will pick up. New schedule is here: http://www.worldmicroscope.com/?p=2324
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6150, Dec 2 from 2300, trying to get something identifiable here from R. Bayrak, TRNC: at 2305, two stations with very poor signals on slightly different frequencies, says the BFO. Some talk seems to have Brazilian intonation. But at 2308 a slight surge from one of them is surely in Chinese. Bayrak may well be somewhere down there, but not for sure here yet. It seems both it and R. Record, São Paulo, play western pop music, and Bayrak sometimes says something in English. We need to hear some definite Turkish talk.

Martien Groot, Netherlands, logging at 0255 Dec 3 the Bayrak carrier only, reaffirms that it is stuck on 6150.03, (Büschel says 6150.037) but the main signal I was getting was close to 6150.00, using the 5-kHz step method against nearby signals with BFO. Martien says R. Record is on 6150.00 or only very slightly lower. The Chinese is RTI in Chinese at 22-24, which means it`s more likely CNR1 jamming I was hearing. The latter may be turned on and off at odd times (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

QSL Broadcast Italia

Please QSL Greenville direct

** U S A. VOA Greenville recently offered to QSL direct with its own card. Lots of reception reports, especially from abroad, should help encourage the powers that be in Washington that this shortwave site is still being listened to and worth keeping on the air. Its closedown has already been postponed more than once.

You can find the current Greenville-B frequencies here:http://hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B11&broadc=IBB

Repeating the QSLing details, which shows the curtain antennas:

Reports are to be sent to:
Voice of America Transmitting Station
3913 VOA Site "B" Road
Grimesland, North Carolina
27837-8977 USA

No return postage needed (Glenn Hauser, Nov 30, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs November 30-December 2, 2011

** ALBANIA [and non]. 7425, Dec 1 at 0033 check, R. Tirana`s only Albanian hour left to North America at 00-01, continues to have moderate to heavy CCI from CHINA, and I continue to recommend that if China will not move, Albania should, to 7420. This would also avoid V. of Russia adjacent on 7430, with nothing adjacent any more on 7415. There was a JBA carrier on 7420, presumably Hohhot, China, which Tirana can easily overcome here in deep North America. If Tirana causes QRM to that around China, tough luck, they`ve got it coming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, another Thursday no-show by LRA36, not even a JBA carrier when checked at 1316, 1455 December 1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA [and non]. 9625, Dec 2 at 1445, CBC NQ buried by Vietnamese, i.e. R. Taiwan International during this hour, CBC evidenced only by the lo het it makes by being off-frequency. Also scheduled on 9625 this hour is South Africa in Portuguese, and until 1428, Iran in Japanese. Can Sackville really overcome all this at least in Northern Quebec? I doubt it. However, since no one else is targeting CIRAF 2-4 (really all of northern Canada), it looks just fine on the HFCC books (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake has been sparse lately, propagation or operation?
12500, Dec 1 at 1311 very poor with some music I could not be positive was FD, but a known FD frequency; no others from 9 to 17 MHz by 1315

12500, Dec 2 at 1355 is the only FD I can detect up to 19 MHz by 1400 except:

6045, Dec 2 at 1354, Firedrake mixed with other programming, confirmed by // 12500. VOA Chinese via Thailand at 12-14 is the target, probably also CNR1 jamming

Not getting my full FD fix, I decide to find as many CNR1 frequencies as possible on a single band, 6 MHz, Dec 2 at 1404, and later check Aoki whether they are legit (if overkill) or jamming:

5945: legit, Beijing 572 site
6000: legit, Beijing 572
6030: legit, Beijing 572 (but before 1400 jams Ming Hui Radio, Taiwan)
6085: jams R. Taiwan International
6105: jams VOA Chinese via Tajikistan
6125: legit, Beijing 572 and Shijiazhuang 723 sites
6135: JSR Tokyo Sea Breeze in Friday English has CNR1 splash from much stronger signals 10 kHz both up and down
6145: jams RTI, and incidentally PBS Qinghai
6175: legit, Beijing 572

Another FD scan before 1500 Dec 2: nothing found 7-19 MHz by 1458 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENIG DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. The DentroCuban Jamming Command continues to be hit and miss as far as doing its job at the right times against R. Martí: 5980, Dec 2 at 0723 while RM is in some dramatization, NO jamming audible, while 6030 and 7405 were walls of noise. Fine with me.

13740, Dec 2 at 1356, RHC programing // 13670 and 13780, instead of open carrier warmup for CRI English relay from 1400. Did not keep listening to find when CRI would come on, but there at 1451.

Heavy noise jamming against VOA Spanish 1300-1400 was also running on 13750 for at least a few more minutes from 1356 Dec 2.

15575, Dec 2 at 1357, poor BBC WS English frequency bothered by Cuban jamming bleed from 15590 against VOA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT [and non]. 15160, Dec 2 at 1453, music and Russian announcement from RRI, with continuous 1000 Hz tone behind it. Presumed R. Cairo runup to 1500 Uzbek service rather than jamming or mystery tester (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FRANCE [and non]. The strike at RFI starting early Monday Nov 28 has continued all week, but not always reflected in programming. Thu Dec 1 at 0621, 7220 is in English news about soccer, // 9765, while 9805 is in Hausa. I continue to think 7220 is a mistake, wrong language with Hausa scheduled, and if they meant it to be English it would not be cutting off halfway thru the one-hour broadcast continuing on 9765.

17690, Fri Dec 2 at 1359 already on air with musique, via GUIANA FRENCH, 1400 RFI Musique ID instead of Spanish news (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDIA. 9425, Dec 1 at 1445, AIR National Channel has been putting in a good signal from Bangalore, but with constant humbuzz, in Hindi, an echo apart from much weaker // 9470 Aligarh; meanwhile AIR VBS on 9870 from Bengaluru was very good atop ChiCom co-channel interference (CCCCI = 401).

9425 also, Dec 2 at 1447 this time in English with very heavy accent, or is it Hindi with English phrases mixed in? Like ``the most important thing``. Listening further, seems to be all-English, YL conversation about the differences between men and women. Still humbuzzy. 1503, now clearly spoken English by YL about biosphere, saving the planet, an objective I heartily endorse; 1505 music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 9525-, Dec 2 at 1442, VOI with music, 1443 YL Indonesian announcement, fair signal metering S9+20 but undermodulated; at least no ACI at this time, unlike the lost-cause English hour before it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MAURITANIA. 7245, IGIM chex: Dec 1 at 0438, it`s off unlike Nov 28 at 0407. But it is on at 0622 Dec 1 with chanting; also Dec 2 at 0720 in Arabic talk (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** RUSSIA. 6074, Dec 1 at 1300, straining to hear the Russian Army CW marker at the close-down of R. Rossii, 6075, Pet/Kam: nothing until 1301-1302+ after the RR carrier is off, can tell there is CW there but cannot copy it whether tactical ID today is 8GAL or 2MTL.

7320, Dec 2 at 0725, R. Rossii, Magadan, is now one of the best signals on band, rivaling Tunisia 7335, but with BFO can tell the carrier is wobbling slightly, also producing a hum in the AM mode. Playing some chansons, i.e. songs in French, 0730 to dramatic reading in Russian, 0733 two IDs (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN [non]. 15170, Dec 2 at 1454, open carrier/dead air over weak music, 1457 OC/DA continues past 1500; 1501 modulation cuts on for REE frequency announcement as 15125 to NW SAm, 9765 to CAm, 17850 to SNAm. Then I check 17850 and it is absent; also can`t hear anything on 9765. Back to 15170 and it goes off a bit after 1502.

On M-F, 15170 (and also 9765) is scheduled 12-15, and the understation until 1457 was Romania. 17850 is not supposed to *start until 1800 M-F, 1600 Sat, 1500 Sun, so was that a sign-off announcement, a sign on played at the wrong time, or a hear-us-next-on? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TAIWAN [non]. 6875, Dec 1 at 0620, RTI via WYFR still in German instead of Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 6140, Dec 2 at 1459 Yankee Doodle Dandy, 1500 VOA English news; is 15-16, 250 kW, 18 degrees from Udorn, THAILAND so also USward, but only fair signal this late. Would this continue with `Border Crossings`? Probably not: Aoki says ``sp`` presumably meaning Spe-cial Eng-lish hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1593 monitoring: first airing confirmed on WRMI webcast, UT Thu Dec 1 at 0438, but only wall-of-noise jamming on 9955; tnx a lot, Arnie! According to WRMI program grid, there is nothing during that hour any day of the week `needing` jamming, except maybe the Michael Méndez show 24 hours later. Is that the same as Trova Libre, or different? Is the MM show overtly anti-Castro?

Missed checking Thu 2200 9479 WTWW and 2230 7415 WBCQ. If anyone noted any problems with those airings, or can definitely confirm them this week, please let me know. Confirmed on WWRB 3195 and 5051, UT Thursday Dec 2 at 0434, after a respectful 40-second pause following the SC preacher, amen, and amen.

Further WORLD OF RADIO SW airings this weekend:
WRMI 9955: Sat 0900, 1600, 1830, Sun 0900, 1630, 1830
WTWW 5755: UT Sun 0500
WBCQ 5110v-CUSB Area 51: UT Mon 0400v
Also on SiriusXM Channel 120: Sat & Sun 1830, Sun 0930

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, Dec 1 at 0623, can make out Jeff White speaking vs pulse jamming, both signals poor, so `Viva Miami` as currently scheduled at 0615 Tue & Thu. You never know whether WRMI will be audible at this time, jammed or not (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6150, Nov 30 at 2305, music and talkovers by DJ, hard to make out language, but lucked out with a clear frequency, no ACI or CCI at the moment, presumed R. Bayrak, CYPRUS TURKISH NORTHERN as others have been reporting? (Glenn Hauser, WORLD OF RADIO 1593, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

However, Jerry Lenamon in Waco TX says in the DXLD yg: ``I caught this again Wednesday evening [Nov 30 also] starting at about 2230z. Pop music again (Phil Collins, Celine Dion, etc) but this time a breathy female announcer trying to sound seductive. No ID or station name but almost surely it's R Record in São Paulo. No QRM until about 2315 when
CNR1 (// 5945) came on channel (or quickly faded in). JL``

There have not been many logs of RR on 6150; however this was reported in August:

``BRAZIL. A Rádio Record, de São Paulo (SP), mudou radicalmente a sua
programação. Todos os comunicadores foram demitidos, entre eles,
Juarez Soares, Paulo Barboza e Gil Gomes. Por enquanto, a emissora
está levando ao ar músicas e noticiários de hora em hora. Em ondas
curtas, a emissora está inativa em 9505 kHz e segue sendo ouvida
normalmente em 6150 kHz (Célio Romais, Sintonizando Ondas Curtas blog via DXLD 11-34, Aug 24, 2011 via DXLD 11-48)``

``Rádio Record has changed its programming, all announcers have been dismissed and it is broadcasting music with news on the hour. 9505 is inactive but it is still broadcasting on 6150 (Célio Romais, Sintonizando Ondas Curtas blog via DXLD, summary translation by Mike Barraclough in Oct World DX Club Contact via DXLD)

Note the precise frequency for Bayrak that Wolfgang Büschel reported, and also English: ``6150.037 kHz - just heard some English spoken fragments at 2310 UT Nov 16. Used a deep notch filter against of even frequency outlet 6150.000 CBSC RTI Kouhu and Chinese - seemingly usual CHN jammer in 22-24 UT slot, latter according to Aoki list (wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Nov 16)``

So we need to detect whether some announcements are in Turkish or Brazilian! Should not be hard to distinguish with decent reception (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7110, rechecking for the mystery Burmese-language station, no longer anything there, Dec 1 at 1303 and Dec 2 at 1351. Was on air around 1230-1430. Did anyone ever identify it, from or to Myanmar? It has not been entered in Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Voice of Greece reduces shortwave broadcasts

The international radio of "Voice of Greece" has fallen victim of the severe funding cuts. Starting from October 3, the service of the Public Broadcaster addressed to Greeks abroad and listened for seven decades throughout the world, stopped broadcasting on shortwave from 6 am to 6 pm every day. The lack of skilled technical personnel and lack of resources are to blame for this twelve hours disruption. So, one of the most historic services of the Greek Radio (it started broadcasting in 1940) has now reached the point of weakening and losing its voice across the Greek borders. Note that the "Voice of Greece" is addressed to some 7 million Greeks worldwide, broadcasting news from home, with greater focus on national issues, but also on news of the international greek diaspora, which it has close ties with (and communicative cultural). Moreover, through satellite and internet, it can be addressed to the younger age groups; meanwhile teh "Voice of Greece" also broadcasts in 12 languages.

# SIDC Weekly bulletin on Solar and Geomagnetic activity            #
#--------------------------------------------------------------------#
WEEK 569 from 2011 Nov 21 

SOLAR ACTIVITY
--------------

Thirteen sunspot groups were reported by Catania during the week (corresponding NOAA AR number is given in brackets): 46 (1346), 50 (1352), 51 (1354), 52 (1353), 53 (1355), 55 (1357), 57 (no NOAA number), 58 (1356), 59 (1358), 60 (1359), 61 (1360), 62 (1361),  and 63 (no NOAA number). The flaring activity during the week was at the low end of the C-level, with the strongest flare being the C4.9 flare peaking at 04:04 UT on November  22 in Catania sunspot group 58 (NOAA AR 1356). A weak partial halo CME was detected by SOHO/LASCO in association with this flare, accompanied by coronal dimmings and a post-eruption arcade detected by SDO/AIA. The CME first appeared in the LASCO C2 field of view at 06:24 UT, with the speed of around 590 km/s and the angular width around 200 degrees. Due to the source region position far from the central meridian (N12E46), this CME was directed mostly to the east and did not arrive at the Earth.

A solar proton event was detected by GOES and ACE starting on November 26. An increase of the proton flux at energies above 10 MeV was detected by GOES starting from around 08:30 UT, and the SEP event threshold was crossed around 11:00 UT. Proton flux at energies above 50 MeV increased as well. The proton event was produced by the full halo CME first detected in the LASCO C2 field of view at 07:00 UT on the same day. Its speed was around 780 km/s. Coronal dimmings, a filament eruption and a post-eruption arcade were detected by SDO/AIA to the west of the Catania sunspot group 52 (NOAA AR 1353) in association with this event. The CME was associated with the double-peaked C-class flare. The C1.2 peak at 07:10 UT at N11W47 was associated with the above-mentioned filament eruption. The C1.5 peak at 08:24 UT located in the Catania sunspot group 55 (NOAA AR 1357) at the north-west limb was not associated with any CME.

The shock wave driven by the ICME corresponding to this halo CME was detected by SOHO/CELIAS at 21:27 UT on November 28. The proton flux was decreasing throughout November 27 and went below the SEP event threshold around 24:00 UT.

Another full halo CME first appeared in the LASCO C2 field of view at 14:00 UT on November 27. STEREO/SECCHI data demonstrate that it was a far side CME and therefore it will not arrive at the Earth.

GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY
--------------------

During the whole week the Earth was inside a slow solar wind flow and geomagnetic conditions were quiet. On November 23 at 13:53 UT an interplanetary shock was detected by SOHO/CELIAS. Due to low solar wind speed, geomagnetic conditions remained quiet.
