Radio Spaceshuttle taking part to Pirate Contest!

Strange, but last weekend of Radio Spaceshuttle is starting today. We shall have few transmissions during weekend of 11.-13.th April 2014. Most sure are transmissions during Friday evening-following night. All transmissions will be aired on our 76 mb frequencies. 3905 kHz ( or 3900, 3927 kHz)
We moved time of taking our antennas down because of Pirate Contest organized By Norrköpings distanslyssnare starting 11th April. So listeners will have a little change to hear last programes from Radio Spaceshuttle! We promise to have some special content in our last tarnsmissions! I wish you will like'em. Each transmissions will last 0,5-1 hour.   First tests perhaps around 18 UTC (=21 in Eastern Europe, 20 Central Europe, 19 in UK).  And after that irregular times during the night

And Special Pirate Contest/ Last Radio Spaceshuttle transmission QSL have been designed and is available for everyone sending correct reception reports from our tx. Please send your reports to,

"NDL has for several years been thinking about a DX listener contest – and now is the time.
The contest begins Friday April 11, 2014 at. 1200 UTC and ends on Monday, April 21, 2014 at. 2400 UTC. Frequencies: short and medium wave
Listen to as many pirate stations as possible. Send reports and count the responses received.
The competition is primarily designed for the Scandinavian countries, but also participants from other countries are welcome. For the Nordic participants apply the competition as SM and NM, individually and in teams.
Easter is one of those times of year that pirate radio transmissions are most intense.
Here are rules and more information:

Glenn Hauser logs April 10-11, 2014

** ALBANIA. 9845, April 11 at 0126 tune in to R. Tirana IS, but cuts off the air, and then repeated carriers on-and-off mostly without the IS, until finally by 0129 comes on and stays on for the 0130 English opening. Couldn`t hang around to confirm if it remained on for the rest of the broadcast. The 23-24 Albanian service on 9850 was again noticeably weaker on April 10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL [and non]. 6148-6170, April 10 at 2327, as I notice RHC [see CUBA] on 6165 now for the `Mesa Redonda` breakaway, there is also heavy interference from some extremely out-of-whack signal making rapid pulses across this range, and strong enough to QRM Cuba on 6165 itself. Could it be RHC`s own transmitter doing this? A ute, a radar? 

No, recheck at 0053 April 11 as RHC is off again, and now I can hear bits of speech modulation in the pulses. RNB/RNA is still missing from 6180, so could this be what`s become of it? Yes! The modulation peaks match what I hear on their other frequency, 11780. Cuba apparently put 6165 on because of the other RNB making a big het with otherwise OK modulation from 5999.6 onto RHC 6000.0, and now Brazil is gettin` `em on the new frequency too, ha2. The heavy pulsing QRM continues at 0105 as RHC is now in English back on 6165, and still with the heavy het on 6000 too, the only other English frequency until The Cuban Five overkill at 0500. Recheck at 0252, no change, still pulsing and hetting both. RNB`s 250 kW transmitters periodically go out of whack and it takes a while to get them back in whack. Doesn`t anyone around Rodeador Park turn on a radio and listen to their own output? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also EAST TURKISTAN; MEXICO

** CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC [non]. 17500, April 10 at 1723, something with poor signal, presumably R. Ndeke Luka (lucky bird), the Hirondelle station in Bangui broadcasting back to the CAR, now via Woofferton UK as in A-14 HFCC instead of UAE as in B-13. WOF can come in a lot better here than Dhabbaya, but not yet, only a little better (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [and non]. 9805, April 10 at 2351, Firedrake, yay, seldom heard any more, fair signal atop victim, which per Aoki is: RFA in Tibetan via UAE this hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6165, April 10 at 2327, RHC is on this frequency at unscheduled time --- it`s the `Mesa Redonda` TV simulcast, // 6000, which has that nasty Brazilian het on it, so apparently the reason for adding 6165. This hour is separate from other RHC Spanish not // on 11670, 15230, and an echo apart on 6070. But BRAZIL, q.v., gets RHC on 6165 too!!

15370, April 10 at 2331, RHC Portuguese with modulation somewhat suppressed and distorted, but good signal level (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 6180, April 11 at 0106, poor signal sounds like CRI English, and so it is, scheduled from Kashgar southwards, audiblized by the absence of BRAZIL, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 9420 > 7475 > 15630, April 11 at 0112, the triad of HR frequencies in descending strength order from VG to P, Greek music. 9420 enough to blot out Iran collision (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 6185, April 11 at 0106, XEPPM in the clear! No ACI with BRAZIL q.v. gone from 6180, instead making big mess from 6148 to 6170. Undermodulated but sufficiently readable fair signal, YL talking about pueblos indígenas, e-mail I think went ondacorta@radioeducacion.com.mx so it`s still separate during the evening from MW 1060 XEEP (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6850.65, April 11 at 0101, pirate music here, poor signal, then kid dialog, 0103 e-mail but missed it, Tarzan yell, ``operator of The Crystal Ship`` mentioned, music; 0114 ``the Bubblegum Express``, more such music; 0124 ``Why aren`t you a Democrat?``, ``The-Crystal-Ship`` ID by roboyl. TCS was on 24 hours earlier with advance notice, but none tonight. Looks like we`ll have to bandscan down to here not to miss a pirate below 7 MHz. I was tuning on USB, but then found it just as readable on LSB, so maybe it was AM, but seemed like the carrier was somewhat reduced. 

More matching logs of this; original subject typo says 6859.5 AM:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, April 11 at 0058, R. Chaski carrier, I monitor continuously on the PL-880 in case they have reset to cut off circa 0100, but keeps right on going while I check other stuff on the porch with the DX-398. Cutoff as expected, 0107:58*, a new record, 11 seconds later than one binite ago, and now 8 minutes ahead of my clear-sky-at-sunset streetlight firing up (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** RWANDA [non]. 17540, April 10 at 1723-1727+ open carrier/dead air, presumably MADAGASCAR failing to modulate R. Impala/Mara; fair signal, sometimes a trace of modulation but may have been cross overload from 17610 WHRI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [and non]. 21600, April 10 at 1907, JBA signal here, WHRI with Brother Scare? Yesterday first day on this new frequency ex-17730, it was blasting in. I assumed it was on NW antenna and maybe it was then, but registered eastward toward Africa. Still, should be more signal than this: maybe propagation disturbance has cut down the first-hop MUF, so I check other mostly US frequencies, finding: missing from 15825, 15610; poor on 17850-Spain, 17790, 15770; fair on 15550, 11760-Cuba; good on 13830, 13605 vs jamming, 12160; very good on 13845, 12105, 12050. Ergo: shorter distances, lower frequencies survive such an event best even at midday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SRI LANKA. 11905, April 11 at 0114, SLBC carrier is on and I stand by for the off-timesignal and sign-on, but remains nothing but dead air past 0125+. Wake up and add the modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1716 monitoring: confirmed on WTWW, 9475, Thursday April 10 at 2101. Next: UT Friday 0327v on WWRB, 5050 (stay tuned: was 9 minutes late last week); Saturday 2330 on WTWW, 9930; UT Sunday 0401 on WTWW, 5830; UT Monday 0300 on Area 51 via WBCQ, 5110v-CUSB; Tuesday 1100, Wednesday 1300 on WRMI, 9955 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7506.6, April 11 at 0110 check, tally another non-broadcast of WRNO. But 7555 is on tonight from KJES (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5025, April 10 at 0630, R. Rebelde is still on, and 5040 RHC off.

6000, April 10 at 1238, RHC confirmed still here in the 11-13 period, altho not mentioned in morning frequency announcements after 1300.

17730, April 10 until 1307* carrier only, back on at *1308, still no modulation. Recheck at 1351 it`s now RHC.

9550, April 10 at 1320, RHC is audible vs CRI in Vietnamese, Commies for Commies, vs Commies. At 1436, 9550 is still on with CCI, synched with 17730 and an echo apart from 17580.

9830, April 10 at 1320, can`t hear anything but RTTY on new RHC frequency; at 1437, now I can barely make out RHC vs RTTY and other CCI, and match it to other frequencies. This is a very weak outlet (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TIBET [non]. 15530, April 10 at 1421, fair signal from presumed VOT via MADAGASCAR, sounds more like Chinese than Tibetan (and VOT does broadcast partly in Chinese), but not // CNR1 jammer frequencies. Presumably VOT started the semihour on 15525 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U K [non]. 15420, Thursday April 10 at 1300, BBCWS news in English, good signal! At last a decent frequency for us --- too good to be true as cut off abruptly at 1304* before the news is over. A runover from the previous hour? No, the only BBC usage left of 15420 in A-14 is Somali at 1400-1500 via SOUTH AFRICA, plus Saturdays from 1300, per Aoki (EiBi implies the 14-15 hour is Sun-Fri only and so does HFCC, but doesn`t show anything on Saturdays). Anyhow, this too was probably Meyerton with a pre-transmission test, or just a mistake. At 1420 check April 10 now in Somali with crowd roaring (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1716 monitoring: confirmed first airing Thursday April 10 at 1230 on WRMI, 9955; sufficient atop pulse jamming. WRMI repeats: UT Sunday 0030 on 9495 (tho often it`s previous show); Tuesday 1100, Wednesday 1300 on 9955; UT Thursday 0330 on 9955 (or first airing of 1717 if ready in time.) On WTWW: Thu 2101 on 9475, Sat 2330 on 9930, UT Sun 0401 on 5830. On WWRB: UT Fri 0327v on 5050. On Area 51 via WBCQ: UT Mon 0300 on 5110v-CUSB.

WWV has resumed broadcasting on 25 MHz on a limited, experimental basis

As of Friday, April 4, 2014 WWV has resumed broadcasting on 25 MHz on a limited, experimental basis. The broadcast consists of the normal WWV signal heard on all other WWV frequencies, at the same level of accuracy.

Current 25 MHz Broadcast Specifications (subject to change):

Schedule: variable; as an experimental broadcast, the 25 MHz signal is not continuous. It will typically be on the air from approximately 1500 – 2100 UTC Mondays through Fridays, but may operate outside these hours as well. The broadcast may be interrupted or suspended without notice.
Radiated Power: varies; no more than 2500 W

Antenna: broadband monopole, coordinates: 40 deg. 40' 50.8"N, 105 deg. 02' 32.6" W

Listener comments and reception reports may be emailed to: wwv@nist.gov, or sent via postal mail to:
National Institute of Standards and Technology
Radio Station WWV
2000 E. County Rd. 58
Fort Collins, CO 80524


NIST radio station WWV broadcasts time and frequency information 24 hours per day, 7 days per week to millions of listeners worldwide. WWV is located in Fort Collins, Colorado, about 100 kilometers north of Denver. The broadcast information includes time announcements, standard time intervals, standard frequencies, UT1 time corrections, a BCD time code, geophysical alerts and marine storm warnings.

Broadcast Frequencies:

WWV operates in the high frequency (HF) portion of the radio spectrum. The station radiates 10,000 W on 5, 10, and 15 MHz; and 2500 W on 2.5 and 20 MHz. Each frequency is broadcast from a separate transmitter. Although each frequency carries the same information, multiple frequencies are used because the quality of HF reception depends on many factors such as location, time of year, time of day, the frequency being used, and atmospheric and ionospheric propagation conditions. The variety of frequencies makes it likely that at least one frequency will be usable at all times.

Antennas:

The WWV antennas are half-wave vertical antennas that radiate omnidirectional patterns. There are actually five antennas at the station site, one for each frequency. Each antenna is connected to a single transmitter using a rigid coaxial line, and the site is designed so that no two coaxial lines cross. Each antenna is mounted on a tower that is approximately one half-wavelength tall. The tallest tower, for 2.5 MHz, is about 60 m tall. The shortest tower, for 20 MHz, is about 7.5 m tall. The top half of each antenna is a quarter-wavelength radiating element. The bottom half of each antenna consists of nine quarter-wavelength wires that connect to the center of the tower and slope downwards to the ground at a 45 degree angle. This sloping skirt functions as the lower half of the radiating system and also guys the antenna.

At 1315, 9550 still audible vs CRI Vietnamese; no 9830 or 9850; 15240 and 15370 now on, plus mixing product at 1322 on 15400.

At 1329 copy new frequency announcement and repeated at 1400; for a while they had been omitting fq announcements: 17580 & 17730 -15; 15230 -15; 13-15 on 15340 & 15370; 11760 & 11860 & 12010 & 9830 -15; 9550 at 13-15. Presumably the unspecified times ending at 15 do start at 11. No mention of 6000 or of 9850 at any time. But at 1331 I am still hearing 9550, and now JBA on 9830 with Asian CCI. At 1404, still on 9550 with CCI, 9830 now audible but with RTTY QRM. 9830, great choice, Arnie! Not only RTTY, but also non-jammer CNR1 Beijing 572 site thruout; Romania in Arabic from 1400, and Iran in Russian from 1420, per Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1716, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FRANCE [non]. 17660, April 9 at 1255, RFI Afrique IDs in passing until 1300*. This one is 342 degrees via SOUTH AFRICA, good for US too from 1200 in French (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGESET)

** KUWAIT. 15540, April 9 at 1948, R. Kuwait in English with PSA from Ministry of Interior warning to be careful at game parks (I think they mean video games, not animals!), then a novelty song; fair (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non non]. 21600, April 9 at 1949, WHRI with Overcomer, tho not BS talking at the moment, ex-17730 for the first day, and // 15770 WRMI not synchronized. Huge signal on 21600 presumably aimed NW, and the OSOB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also USA: WRMI

** SWEDEN [non]. 11875, Wednesday April 9 at 1953, poor signal in African language with French influence. Aoki shows it`s IBRA Radio (R. Ibrahim, but surely Christian, not Moslem), which is in Malinke at 1945-2000 on Wednesday and Thursday (Jula other days; 1930-1945 in Moore or Tamajeq in a different pattern; and 1900-1930 daily in Fulfulde); 300 kW, 182 degrees from Woofferton UK (Glenn hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17530, April 9 at 1951, peuple speaking French in variety of accents, including Creolish; maybe people-on-the-street interviews from VOA Greenville; meanwhile, 15730 is open carrier, since it doesn`t start until 2000 while 17530 starts at 1930.

13605 & 11930, April 9 at 1952 check, R. Martí via Greenville, detectable but not readable vs wall-of-noise jamming, incomparably weaker than the bigsig French frequencies, 15730 & 17530, Altho azimuths are different, hard to believe GB is running full power on the Martí frequencies, which is of course totally necessary when confronting jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Ogg: RE: Report reception from Italy 25 MHz

Thanks for your email, and your reception report of the WWV experimental broadcast at 25 MHz.

WWV first began broadcasting on 25 MHz in 1946, but the broadcast was suspended in 1977. Due to listener interest and changes in broadcasting technology, NIST is pleased to be able to provide this service on a limited basis once again. At present, the broadcast is carried on a base-fed broadband monopole antenna. All normal WWV frequencies operate on a center-fed half-wave dipole antenna, with a dedicated backup transmitter that will come online automatically should the main transmitter fail. The 25 MHz broadcast does not have this capability at this time. Please note that the experimental 25 MHz broadcast may be interrupted without notice at any time.

For the latest status in the 25 MHz broadcast, refer to the NIST Radio Station WWV web site.
http://www.nist.gov/pml/div688/grp40/wwv.cfm

Due to the number of QSL requests to this experimental broadcast, it may take more time to respond to your QSL request.
Thank you for your continued interest and support.

Glenn Hauser logs April 8-9, 2014

** BRAZIL. 4815, April 9 at 0051, R. Difusora Londrina, Brazuguese sermon, fair vs CODAR, but certainly the BBOB tonight --- best Brazilian on band, only one listenable, vs several weaker carriers (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 5999.6, April 9 at 0114, terribly excited announcers, surely futebol from R. Nacional, Brasília, and making big het against RHC English 6000. Can`t // it to 6180, since that RNA frequency is off! But certainly // 11780. This is no 4 kW, as originally publicized. Could they have moved the 250 kW transmitter from 6180 to 6000? That would be insane, vs Cuba, while 6180 was owned by RNA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 9630.0, April 9 at 0040, Brazuguese talk, very bassy with rumble, but don`t think it`s CCI, and not off-frequency unlike much clearer // 11856.5 promptly with R. Aparecida ID in passing. It`s also still colliding with Bolivia on almost the same frequency 6134.8v (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 17720, April 8 at 1932, still no signal from RHC despite own schedule online claiming it`s here in Spanish to Europe starting at 1930; maybe really old info? At same time, 11840 is on again in French, new frequency to Europe.

11670, April 8 at 2126, RHC Spanish is on here now, blotting All India Radio General Overseas Service, which used to be the best frequency for us in North America. Possibly only a SAH from the AIR signal. Also noted with complaints by DXLD listeners further east in North America where AIR signal would be better. RHC also on earlier than before on // 11760, and audible on undermodulated 11840, 9710.

RHC has this unfortunate habit of: once a frequency is in use for one daypart, they add it in another one, when the QRM/collision situation is completely different, a sign of clueless frequency management. 11670 had been in use only at 0000-0500 UT in B-13, not a problem for India which finishes with it at 2230. 11760 had been in a break between 2030 and 2400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE [non]. 7450, 7475, 9420, 11645, 15630 and 15650 all provide NO signals from Helleniki Radiophonia, April 9 at 0120 check; 9420 has Qur`an from Iran poorly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KUWAIT. 15540, April 8 at 1933, R. Kuwait is fair with pop music, even on the DX-375 with built-in whip I keep in the car for quick chex while mobile (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6851-RCUSB, April 9 at 0037, pirate music, poor with storm noise in the distance; 0103 better with Beatles` ``All You Need is Love``. Following tip on The Crystal Ship mailing list from John Poet that a relay was expected starting around 2345 or 0000. (Since an encounter with the FCC, TCS relies only on others to transmit his programs.) Still on at my final check 0121. Reduced carrier helps a lot in tuning in accurately during instrumental music. Other logs of this:http://freeradiocafe.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4491
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6150.6-AM, music and announcements, 0054 UT April 9, 0058 jingle? Pulsing QRM, OTHR? Past 0100+; presumed pirate, Channel Z, which was reported around here April 2 by Chris Lobdell, at the same hour, within the 49mb. Just too weak to copy any details; same time as TCS relay was active on 6851-RCUSB. Numerous other logs of Channel Z tonight at:http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,16484.0.html
link which some log editors will surely delete. I`m on the lookout for list-logs of this as Radio Bayrak, TRNC --- tho latest lists omit it, not in WRTH any more, nor Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 7160-AM, April 8 at 2130, not much to be heard on 40 or 41 meters this early, but here`s somebody in AM, good with fades, commenting about medical care, mentions going to Oklahoma City; soon ID as W5JO, and closing contact with K5SEE(?). W5JO is James P Wilhite, in the southern OK town of Sulphur (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, April 9 at 0055, R. Chaski carrier, very poor but enough to provide some modulation, until cutoff at 0107:47* which is 6 seconds later than yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SERBIA [non]. 9685, April 9 at 0039 check, zero signal as always from IRS, despite A-14 dated schedule on own website http://voiceofserbia.org/program-schedule
still claiming ``Radio Yugoslavia`` is on the air to North America, including English at 0030-0100 Tue-Sat. That was really deleted about a year ago, IIRC. Whom do they think they are kidding? Hey, maybe they are still collecting government money to pay for this non-broadcast? Shhh (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 17730, April 8 at 1932, WHRI is still here with BS, pending QSY sometime to 21600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also USA: WRMI

** TURKEY. 9770 = 9870, April 9 at 0122, VOT is back on both Spanish frequencies tonight, while 9770 was missing 24 hours earlier. Now they are about equal level, only poor-fair, and little if any India QRMing 9870 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9690, April 8 at 1932 check, now WRMI is back on here with BS, after having apparently run Him on 7455 by mistake earlier in the day as in my previous report, heard as early as 1349 and as late as 1620.

9495, UT Tue April 9 at 0043, WRMI-14 is playing PCJ Radio on a secret repeat, Keith Perron interviewing Dan Robinson, ex-VOA who says he chose to take a buyout rather than keep working there under unpleasant conditions, wrapping up at 0055. Part 2 to continue in a later edition. Fair-poor with deep fades and some jambleed from 9490 unless tightened (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7506.6, April 9 at 0120 check, still no WRNO (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs April 8, 2014

** CHINA [and non]. 13830, April 8 at 1338, Firedrake jamming, poor with CCI. Usually only hear CNR1 jamming here --- vs RFA Tibetan via TAJIKISTAN.

16100, April 8 at 1343, CNR1 jamming, good with flutter.
NO other FD or CNR1 jamming found in the 10s, 12s, 14s, 17s, 18s, 19s
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5025, April 8 at 0556, R. Rebelde transmitter produces only a big hum, while 5040, RHC is already off.

9550, April 8 at 1333, RHC is still here despite colliding with CRI in Vietnamese, but no RHC any more on 9540. The weak 9550 signal sounds like it used to on 9540, minus the QRM.

15370, April 8 at 1333, RHC is here for the second day, so looks more like it`s intentional, ex-13780. Not quite as strong as // 15340, but the combo now make leapfrog mixing products not only on 15400 but also on 15310. At 1342 April 8, 15400 is axually better audible than seriously undermodulated fundamental 15230!

Ivo Ivanov found another new frequency today at 11-15, 9830, which he thinx replaces 9540. Now to check for 17720 starting at 1930 as in web schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDIA [and non]. 9690, April 8 at 1351, with BS from WRMI unexpectedly on 7455 instead, how about the AIR GOS at 1330-1500, which has been blocked for months? Unfortunately there is a third station QRMing and hard to hear AIR. Aoki shows the only other one at this time is V of Nigeria, which would be unusual here at this time, maybe long-path remnant? Not in HFCC, of course, and EiBi shows VON on 9690 but not between 1200 and 1630; their operation is however, unpredictable.

AIR // 13710 is fair-good until 1400 QRMed by Kashgar with CRI English; while third AIR //, 11620 is a JBA carrier. Aoki shows nothing else there now, except evil jamming by China, even tho AIR is in English. We can only hope WRMI will stay off 9690, but see USA, could be just a mistake on 7455 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 9526-, April 8 at 1334 check, VOI is fair with flutter --- but dead air, or possibly a trace of modulation. So much for ``Exotic Indonesia`` with RRI Banjarmasin this Tuesday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [non]. 15745, April 8 at 1429, fair-good open carrier, 1430 `Sakura` and NHK opening in Hindi, via MADAGASCAR. At first I thought it would be in Indonesian or Swahili (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TIBET [non]. 15525, April 8 at 1357, fair OC is on from Voice of Tibet, MADAGASCAR, 1400 programming, 1407 jump to 15530 to avoid ChiCom jammer, which however I can`t hear today on either frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 12050, April 8 at 1339 is today`s missing frequency from WEWN, while 11550 Spanish and 15610 English are inbooming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7455, April 8 at 1349 past 1400, surprised to find Brother Scare here, with blessedly non-boosted modulation typical of WRMI, and indeed // synch with 15770 WRMI. 7455 is on instead of 9690, which we have rued from the very first day of WRMI Okeechobee, since it blox All India Radio at 1330-1500. Often when trying [hee hee] to hear BS on 9690, there would be QRM here from India. So a welcome change, altho see INDIA [and non]. However, I fear it`s a mistake, since the same transmitter #13 on 285 degree antenna is carrying TruNews on 7455 until 1100, so probably failed to change frequency to 9690 when resuming at 1200. We`ll see. 1620 recheck: still on 7455, not 9690.

As for yesterday`s anomaly, 9955 missing at 2115 April 7, Jeff White explains, ``Brother Stair has not cut back on WRMI at this point. 9955 should have been on at 2115; will have to check to see if there was a problem. We have had some short power outages recently due to osprey nest construction on the ranch, so it's possible. Jeff`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

(via Utilityworld yg)

Glenn Hauser logs April 7-8, 2014

** BOLIVIA. 3310.0, April 8 at 0109, very poor signal but can make out some music and talk among the storm crashes, 0110 yelling. Leaving one receiver on it with BFO offset, finding carrier still running at 0130, presumed R. Mosoj Chaski (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [and non]. 17510, April 8 at 0121, Firedrake jamming, very poor mixing with something, i.e. RFA Tibetan via TINIAN this hour only but allegedly daily (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11840, April 7 at 2019, RHC in Portuguese about esportes, news theme --- surprise new A-14 frequency instead of 13680 B-13 until today for 1930-2100 to Europe; 2035 recheck now in Arabic. Strange that self-styled propagation expert frequency manager Arnie would move down a band for summer instead of up a band (or two), to 15 or 17 MHz.

11760, meanwhile April 7 at 2019 RHC is in French, in the Americas service. By 2114, 11840 has switched to Spanish, and now // 11760, but 11840 is JBM, and also on poor 9710.

These were logged before I found the official RHC schedule had finally emerged effective April 7. Dario Monferini posted the foreign language schedule to playdx yg, here tidied up by gh:

Most of the targets make some sense, except for Portuguese, Creole and Quechua to Buenos Aires!

What about Spanish? One more try to see if their website will display anything: Undated, but as of April 7 at least updated since the DST shift March 9, but see contradictory notes below. In the usual confusing format, forcing you to match up frequencies on the same line with time periods separated by slants; realigned by gh:http://www.radiohc.cu/interesantes/estaticas/frecuencias

I did not notice any 17720 yet as I was tuning around this afternoon. Nor does the above show 15370 instead of 13780 at 13-15, despite my hearing it earlier April 7. Also 11760 was VG in Spanish at 2114, a time completely missing from this schedule. Furthermore the correct frequency for S America tardes is not 11680, but still 11670, as noted around 0100 April 8. More outdated info: 12010 replaced 11690 in the mornings weeks ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** DIEGO GARCIA. 12759-USB, April 8 at 0116, trace of broadcast talk from AFN, no more audible by 0130 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT [and non]. 11710v/11711v, UT April 8, past the weekend, I`ve taken my keyboard out to the porch to measure the pitch of the big het and thus separation of R. Cairo and Argentina, neither of which can attain 11710.00. First measurement at 0050 gets C#5 = 554 Hz; rechex: at 0114, D5 = 587 Hz; at 0129, D#5 = 622 Hz, so the gap is gradually widening. Did not attempt to measure either directly this time.

12052-12088, at least, April 8 at 0126, extent of splatter from 12070, extremely distorted R. Cairo in Spanish, which has VG signal level but totally unusable (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 15630, April 7 at 2015, HR fair signal with music, sounds like cinematic; better than 15580 VOA and much better than 15540 Kuwait. 15630 still going with Greek music, poor April 8 at 0123, and now the other two Avlis transmitters are active for a change, much better on // 9420, and almost as good on // 7475 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDIA. 11985, April 8 at 0100, AIR Sinhala service via Delhi-Khampur with pauses in music unlike // 11740 via Goa; they are as usual out of synch by a couple of seconds but surprisingly difficult to quantify during this kind of music. Altho the Sinhala service ends at 0115 and 11740 goes off, at 0127 recheck, 11985 is still on, not just with hum and flutter, and gone by rerecheck at 0134 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KUWAIT. 15540, April 7 at 2016, poor-fair signal but so undermodulated I can`t be positive R. Kuwait is really in English. 17550 Arabic service inaudible: varies a lot from day to day which one, both or neither will be audible.

I see that Rob Wagner in Australia, ARDXC heard R. Kuwait unexpectedly in English on 6050 as well as 15540, April 4 at 2025-2100, then Arabic until 2110*. 6050 no good for us, but could be elsewhere if it keep up; not unusual for them to mess up feeds and frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, April 8 at 0059, R. Chaski is a JBA carrier, at first suffering heavy splash from 5990 China/CUBA, but then only hash from TVI and storms nearby. Still, bitsig enough to perceive cutoff at 0107:41* which is 6 seconds later than yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA. 17510 // stronger 15170, good and very good, April 7 at 2034, RRI news in English about Russia poised to invade Ukraine; 2036 on to `Radio Newsreel` about inventions. RRI is closest SW station to the action still broadcasting in English to North America, and doing a fine job of it. What a pity that these nice signals from Europe have no companions on the bands (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 11795, UT Tue April 8 at 0125 check, Emisión Sefarad succeeds for a second week in staying away from 11780 Brasil; and again I am hearing discussion in pure Castilian, not Ladino (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY [and non]. 9770, April 8 at 0119 and 0134, no signal from Voz de Turquía Spanish service; one Emiler must be off the air, because still audible poorly with Spanish talk on // 9870 despite CCI from AIR VBS INDIA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15730 // 17530, April 7 at 2025, VOA French, VG with pop music and DJ chat, both cut off abruptly at 2030 for YDD sign-off until 2031* or so. Why in the world not carry the whole hour? 15730 does but on Sundays only. Currently both via Greenville so jumbling the digits can still be correct.

This BBGWatch article (which you might also want to read) illustrates the antenna azimuths on a great circle map centered on Greenville:  http://bbgwatch.com/bbgwatch/appeals-from-congress-to-bbg-to-give-radio-to-ukraine-and-russia-serious-consideration-likely-to-be-ignored-by-staff/

I`m told it is correct, altho there are some discrepancies, like three African antennas at 91 degrees, while all HFCC registrations but one show 94 degrees; which is correct? Here`s the map alone:http://bbgwatch.com/bbgwatch/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Greenville_Shortwave_ERM_Azimuthal_Large.png
Note that there are even two antennas which can shoot over the pole to Asia (beyond Thule, Greenland, propagation permitting!). Antarctica too is very well covered (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17775, April 7 at 2014 tone test, level varies some but not the pitch. KVOH must be on late after scheduled 1900* tweaking some more (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1715 monitoring: remaining SW airings are Tuesday 1100 on WRMI-10, 9955 toward south-southeast; and Wednesday 1300 on WRMI-11, 9955 toward the northwest. Disregard my earlier listing about Hamburger Lokalradio Wed at 0630 & 1430, as Tom Taylor warns the MV Baltic Radio transmitter will be silent on April 9, 12 and 13; which means also missing WOR 1716 this Saturday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, April 7 at 2115, I notice that WRMI is absent, and no jamming either. Brother Scare is scheduled at this time; wonder if he has made some cutbacks this month.

17790, April 7 at 2033, R. Africa via WRMI with undermodulated gospel music; change to 15190 now comes circa 2100. Seems they do have a lot of time to fill with music, but could be up to 24 hours, as registered 21-08 on 15190, 08-21 on 17790; axually using only 14-23 & 04-08. Do they really expect 17790 to propagate as early as 3 am EST?

9495, UT Tuesday April 8 at 0051, WRMI with a Spanish DX program, not sure which, featuring (web) clips of pre- and post-Russian Crimean stations; wide variation in narration level. Better signal now than main frequency 9955 which is still getting jammed, altho R. Libertad now airs at 23-24 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 11870, April 8 at 0131, WEWN Spanish is missing, supposed to start at 0000, audiblizing something weak and fluttery, per Aoki CRI English southward from Kashgar, East Turkistan. WEWN 11870 is certainly off the air, as its 11520 English is VG with squeal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
