Glenn Hauser logs October 9-10, 2016

** ETHIOPIA. 7138-7148, Oct 10 at 0353, DRM-style jamming noise, but cannot detect Eritrea carrier amid circa 7146, and strangely not so much of it on the plus side. This is about S8, while just up the exclusive worldwide 40m hamband, louder S9+25 DRM noise jamming from 7164 to 7186, obliterating any Eritrean carrier which might have been on its other frequency, 7175 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 3325, Oct 10 at 1248, the SSOB at S8-S5 in Indonesian talk, so RRI Palangkaraya; also carrier on low side of 3345-, so RRI Ternate. See also UNIDENTIFIED for many more Asian carriers (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11600, Oct 10 at 1257, Denge Kurdistane with Kurdish music at S9+10, flutter, weaker than 11860 Yemen non. Talking after 1300, 1322 music, 1340 talk. By 1418 this is S9 to S9+10, stronger than 11860, but talking about Kurdistan. I prefer the music! Site presumably BULGARIA during this segment (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1846 monitoring: NOT confirmed Sunday Oct 9 at 2330 on 9330v-CUSB as WBCQ is inaudible, apparently off the air (7490+ is still on the air). Confirmed UT Monday Oct 10 after 0030 on WRMI, 7730, very good. Confirmed on Area 51 webcast UT Monday Oct 10 at 0300 but NOT on 5130v-AM as this WBCQ is also inaudible, off the air (while 7490 remains; no 3250v either). Confirmed UT Monday Oct 10 at 0345, amid the 0330 broadcast on WRMI 9955, S9+25 but Cuban pulse jamming audible underneath: tnx a lot, Arnie! I wouldn`t dream of jamming your boring repetitive DX program full of clichés; no need to. Next WORs:
Mon 2330   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
Tue 1100   WRMI 9955 to SSE
Tue 2130   WRMI 15770 to NE
Tue 2330   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
Wed 1315.5 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Wed 2100   WBCQ 7490v to WSW
Wed 2330   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 680, Oct 10 at 1236 UT sunrise here, ``America`s number one sports station, KNBR, 680, the sports leader``. At over 1354 miles/2178 km city-to-city, not easily heard, but this is the best time for it, the only Bay Area station making it here, the other bigshots without a clear frequency (and slightly further than NYC, also rare except sometimes 880 WCBS).

A few minutes earlier I was getting news in Spanish on 680, presumably usual XEORO Sinaloa, as the lowest-frequency XE still propagating vs the inexorable westward terminator (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** YEMEN [non]. 11860, Oct 10 at 1257, Republic of Yemen Radio presumably via SAUDI ARABIA, with great music I enjoy, and S9+10 as its `season` has resumed. Same level now as 11600 Kurdistan non via Bulgaria. 1300 both into talk; 1322 still talking here. 1340 both talking (but there`s World Music to be heard on 11580 WRMI weekdays at 13-15). By 1418, 11860 YL talk has diminished to S7-S9, compared to 11600, minished to S9+10 peaks (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ZAMBIA. 11680, Monday October 10 at 0528, Voice of Hope - Africa, gospel rock ending with applause, African-accented YL preacher with today`s Bible reading from I Corinthians; 0529 transmission break of about 20 seconds! Back on to plug upcoming `Moments in Bible Prophecy` at 7:45 [CAT = 0545 UT]. As expected, 11680 is good at S9+10, while // 9680 is but a JBA carrier. Both allegedly 100 kW, the USward direxional 315 degree antenna on 11680 making all the difference. Scheduled 05-08 UT Mon-Fri on both. No QRM at all, and per Aoki the only problem could be North Korea but it stops Japanesing at 0500. Now, is there any secular programming on the schedule, or at least quasi-secular? Of course not! Except for hard-core intervals like MiBP, the tri-hour is `Rev. Joyce Mwanza, Music in the Morning - LIVE`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, Oct 10, UT:
At 1219, 774-NW, 747-NW, 693-NW
At 1221, 657-??, 594-NW (distinct from 594+ spur from local KZLS 1640)
At 1223, 828-NW, 873-NW, 882-NW
At 1226, 1098-W
At 1227, 1116-WSW
At 1229, 1566-NW
All on the DX-398 with internal ferrite antenna only. Our sunrise today: 1235 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1480+, Oct 10 at 0552 UT, low audible het (LAH) looping E/W, so not either of my closests, KBXD and KQAM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4766, Oct 10 at 1252, open carrier at S5, stronger than 4750. Suspected idling RTTY from western North America, as discussed in DXLDs 16-27 and 16-16.

From 1248 to 1255 Oct 10, scans of 120, 90, and 60m finds more carriers, most on usual spots from Asia, skipping the major ones on 4835 Australia and 4940 China:

2325, 3345-, 4750, 4790, 4800, 4810, 4820(2), 4870-, 4885, 4895, 4910, 2485, 4920, 4970, 5010, 5040, 5050 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11770.921, Oct 10 at 0534, open carrier with flutter, making me suspect it`s real, but gone once I unplug my router, possibly by coincidence. Nigeria, maybe? Only thing scheduled on 11770 now is Urumqi (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs October 9, 2016

** ARGENTINA. 15345v, re my non-hearing anything from RAE ATTW on Saturday Oct 8, nor on 11710.6v, UT Sun Oct 9, Wolfgang Büschel agrees: ``15345v, No signal observed on this channel of RAE around 1015 to 1025 UT, Oct 9th, nothing heard here in Europe, nor on east coast NoAmerica remote units. wb`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11600, Oct 9 at 1357, Denge Kurdistane is S9+10 with flutter during Kurdish talk, better to S9+20 by 1419. Site probably BULGARIA at 13-17 per latest info from Ivo, but known to switch around with PRIDNESTROVYE and FRANCE (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 540, Oct 9 at 1226, promo for Liga Mexicano [béisbol?] broadcasts on La Mejor, 90.9 --- so I have managed to get XEHS, 5/2.5 kW, Los Mochis, Sinaloa, past usual XETX in Chihuahua (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 930, Oct 9 at 1235 UT, WKY OKC still with ICDs interrupting music for instants. Are local listeners putting up with this? (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1846 monitoring: confirmed UT Sunday Oct 9 at 0342 a few minutes before ending, so started approximately 0315 on 1860-AM, WA0RCR, Wentzville MO. Next:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 660, Oct 9 at 1228 UT, Navajo drumming, 100% signature of KTNN Window Rock AZ, 50/50 kW U2, but likely on ND day pattern already ahead of October official sunrise at 1315 UT (November: 1345 UT) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1030, Oct 9 at 1238 UT, ``The new Real Country, KCWJ`` and soon, ``Country favorites back-to-back, Real Country 1030 AM KCWJ``. Is 5/0.5 kW U4, CoL Blue Springs MO, address in Independence, i.e. greater Kansas City (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1440, Oct 9 at 1242 UT, open carrier/dead air, obviously KTNO The Metroplex TX from its direxion (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1480, Oct 9 at 1243 UT, continuous S Asian pop music, 168/min SAH with KQAM Wichita = 2.8 Hz. Sounds like KBXD is back to stunting, as never hear any ID for Radio Salam Namaste which was programming it for a while. At least there is a variety of music instead of computer stuck on IDs and TX DOT PSAs over and over as recently logged. 1300 UT ToH canned ID twice for KBXD, 1480, Dallas, and back to music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** YEMEN [non]. 11860, Oct 9 at 1333, Republic of Yemen Radio is S9+20 in Arabic talk interspersed with stingers. Best signal yet this fall, as its season is resurging like a year ago. At 1419, still S9+20 talk, no echo. Saudi Arabia site? Longpath? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ZAMBIA [and non]. 13680, Sunday Oct 9 at 1209, checking for Voice of Hope - Africa, supposed to be on proper frequency today unlike yesterday on 11680 by mistake: nothing yet. 

On 11680, Oct 9 at 1210, there is YL talk but sounds Asian, probably CRI Cambodian from Nanning as scheduled this hour. And a second signal? Probably P`yongyang. I switch to MW to do an extensive bandscan for trans-Pacific carriers (see UNIDENTIFIED). Back here at 1252, 11680 has typical CRI Chinese lessons, and Cambodian talk a few minutes later. 

9680, Oct 9 at 1253, the other VOHA frequency is as usual totally covered by CNR1 jamming Taiwan, with Chinese opera (meaning traditional instruments and vocalizing, not Firedragon often misidentified as ``opera`` despite nary a voice ever heard on that). 

13680, Oct 9 at 1252, finally a JBA carrier, maybe Zambia, but by 1302 now an S5+ signal and growing with big band music, 1304 ID as ``From Zambia, this is Voice of Hope - Africa service, broadcasting on 9680 --- gospel of Jesus --- Swing Shift with Pat Conrad``. Were they really on the air from 1200, or just 1300-? 13680 continues strengthening but with deep fading, at 1323 with ``Little Brown Jug`` by Glenn Miller orchestra. 1328 break for proselytizing some Bible verse, 1330 contact info in Los Angeles; mentions also playing Benny Goodman and Woody Herman.

Extremely ironically, Benny Goodman was Jewish; yet his art is being used by VOH as bait to turn people into Christians. See the jewornotjew.com website, which says ``Benny Goodman, whose parents were Jewish immigrants from the old Russian empire.``

13680 occasionally has some audio dropouts lasting several seconds, such as at 1345. At 1419 still at S9, it`s on to overt sermonizing.

The 12-17 UT broadcast on 13680 is scheduled for Sat & Sun only. On M-F, the just-activated second transmitter on 315-degree beam is supposed to be on 11680 at 0500-0800, but if not, check 13680 too (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search October 9, before sunrise here at 1234 UT:

At 1211, 774-WSW, 756-WSW, 712-WSW

At 1214, 657-WSW, 612-WSW, 603-WSW, 594-WSW

At 1216, 567-WSW, 828-NW, 846-WSW

At 1219, 1035-WSW, 1098-W

At 1220, 1116-WSW

At 1222, 1314-NW

Sometimes I can`t get a clear DF null on 774, and suspect I am getting both Japan and Australia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 940, Oct 9 at 1235 UT, right at sunrise here, vocal Spanish music, poor signal roughly SW/NE; YL DJ plugs ``la mejor estación, siga con nosotros``. NRC AM Log has no likely SS near west of here, nor east. Cantú, WRTH and IRCA Mexican Log all show nothing between these extremes: XEYJ, Melchor Múzquiz/Nueva Rosita, Coahuila; and XERLA, Santa Rosalía, BCS; ruling out XEMMM Mexicali which is oldies in English. Well, XEYJ should be very close to sunrise too (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs October 8-9, 2016

** ARGENTINA. 15345v, Saturday Oct 8 at 1834, no signal detectable at all from RAE ATTW, nor at 1851. Is English really on the air weekends now as promised?

11710v, UT Sunday Oct 9 at 0307, NO signal circa 11710.6v either, so it looks like their promise to expand to 7 days a week was empty (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5040, Oct 9 at 0002, RHC is back on tonight, in Kriyol, but still undermodulated, and suffering excessive splash from 5050 WWRB. Really, it`s Cuba which ought to do the splashing, like around 11670! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ETHIOPIA [and non]. 15625-15630-15635, Oct 8 at 1827, DRM style noise jamming but VOA Amharic on 15630 is still readable. Then I look for // frequencies.

15700 via Lampertheim, Germany is reported to be one such, and there is something weak here, and apparently no jamming, but not enough audio to make a // to 15630. Also reported were a bunch in the 12s, as of Sept 23 via Wolfgang Büschel in DXLD 16-39 under USA, which were already getting jammed, but tuning across them now, I don`t detect any AM or DRM, presumably too low to be propagating here at midday: 12040, 12080, 12110, 12140, the sites switching around among Lampertheim, Woofferton and Kuwait. I don`t remember a 13 MHz one, but scanning that band I do find:

13855-13860-13865, Oct 8 at 1845, here`s more DRM noise and enough AM signal within it to make a // to 15630, apparently Woofferton too at the moment. Wolfy also figured the formerly M-F Amharic broadcasts had also been expanded to daily, and indeed this is Saturday. Concerns 18-19 UT Amharic, flanked by Oromo at 1730-1800 and Tigrinya at 1900-1930 on more or less the same jumparound frequencies. 

I wish some DRM enthusiasts would tune these jammers and report if anything intelligible is audible or visible from them. They might as well play some nice music, à la Firedragon (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUINEA. 9649.98, Oct 8 at 2343, African music maybe in French, fair signal, presumed. R. Guinée, Conakry which closes around 2400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA SOUTH [non]. 15360, Oct 8 at 1823, poor signal in Russian. Aoki shows it`s KBSWR this hour, relayed via Woofferton UK, 300 kW at 74 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 15115-15120-15125, Oct 8 at 1820, DRM noise, no doubt Voice of Nigeria, scheduled in English at 1800-2000, but seldom reported lately; has it really been on? I also detect a JBA AM carrier amid at about 15121; nothing else scheduled now: could it be the other VON site competing with the DRM site?? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950.0-USB, Oct 8 at 2348, big band music at S9: bet it`s Wolverine Radio: yes, such an ID interjected at 0010.5 October 9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [and non]. 13695, Oct 8 at 1838, Brother Scare via WRMI is talking about staying on 12 WRMI transmitters if station has survived Matthew, as he hopes, having ``rebuked`` the storm and winds on behalf of WRMI, like Jesus allegedly did about some such threat. Complains of a false prophet from the west coast bothering him, trying to supplant R. G., overcome his ministry.

Apparently a playback now, referring to conditions ``tonight`` and later to Thursday night. Says the Compound is 50 miles west of Charleston, and he is ``not going anywhere``, despite evacuation order that far inland. Well, by Saturday, the hurricane has moved on, leaving flooding and other destruxion in SC. Note to self: must *rebuke* stuff, as it seems to be so effective. 

On another segment BS was begging already for another megabuck donor to cover broadcast costs in 2017, to be renegotiated with stations in December. This is obviously a lifeline especially for WRMI, so sure hope Jeff has a contingency plan when 85-year-old BS imminently goes to his heavenly reward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** UGANDA [non]. 15239.96, Sat Oct 8 at 1818, recheck of R. Munansi via WWRB (which I had heard starting in English just after 1600): Now it`s open carrier/dead air; is no one paying attention? Still DA at 1822, 1834; finally at 1849 modulation has resumed, now lo-fi internet feed of presumed Luganda talk. Still a huge signal today, unlike sometimes JBA; at a critical propagation distance from TN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1846 monitoring: confirmed Saturday October 8 after 2230 on WBCQ 9330v-CUSB via the BST-1 caradio. Next:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. (7490), Sat Oct 8 around 2315 it`s more convenient for me to check WBCQ webcasts, and (5130) Area 51 --- to my surprise, both are carrying `Radio TimTron Worlwide`, altho far out of synch. 7490 is supposed to be `Shortwave Saturday Night`.

By 2336, I am on the NRD-545 instead (never with internet at same time), and now SWSN is indeed on 7490 not // 5130 TimTron; was there a change in the meantime, or a protracted mixup in web feeds? 9330 is in a few-week-old playback of `Allan Weiner Worldwide` about how equipment smells, TimTron guesting here too, and called upon for reception antenna advice. 3250: no signal audible.

At 2359, 7490 chops off J. P. Ferraro in progress for a canned WBCQ ID and immediately into a KCAA ID with the `Mitch & Kathy` show at 0000 UT Sunday Oct 9. Now I recheck 3250 and find a JBA carrier about 3250.065, so maybe that`s WBCQ continuing J. P.`s show (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** U S A. 11580, Sat Oct 8 after 2000, checking what`s on WRMI now: `Frecuencia al Día`; and after 2030: Hobart Radio International, additional airing filling in a blank on the sked when last checked. Later in the semi-hour we hear Rob talking about hurricane hitting Bahamas Thursday. Excuse me, but with saturation coverage in the USA, we hardly need someone from Tasmania telling us about it two days later as if it were news (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ZAMBIA. 11680, re my earlier report, Oct 8 at 1434 of a good signal with hymns, suspected of being Voice of Hope - Africa on wrong frequency instead of 13680: Yes, Richard Langley hears from Ray Robinson of KVOH confirming the fill music and the frequency, which tomorrow should be back on proper 13680. Well, 11680 works great for us. New program schedule is up, 

http://voiceofhope.com/schedule/voh-africa_program_grid.pdf

including some long-dormant shows such as the jazz and swing hours, bait for proselytizing which used to be on 9975 when KVOH had English broadcasts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13680, Oct 8 at 1837, S5 open carrier, slightly wavering. Nothing scheduled now but elsewhen on 13680 are VOA, Sound of Hope, CRI, NHK (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

ANNIVERSARIO EMITTENTI
WDR, Germania 702 Khz (1924)

Glenn Hauser logs October 8, 2016

** BOUGAINVILLE. 3325, Oct 8 at 1154, music from NBC, or is it RRI Palangkaraya, INDONESIA? Ron Howard is on holiday so can`t depend on him to sort out which by sign-off times. 1232 still in with talk.

Atsunori Ishida at http://rri.jpn.org logged RRI on the air until 1700v* the past week but today`s info not yet posted (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 720, Oct 8 at 1200, XE NA, 1202 Chihuahua SA, 1203 sign-on from XEJCC, 720, mil watts, El Fonógrafo, street address, then usual inspirational recitation plugging amor and other virtues, ``la noche quedó atrás, un nuevo día``. 1206 over to live DJ with 6:05 TC ``en XEJCC, El Fonógrafo, 720``, current temp 14, and predicted hi. 

I wonder when they plug into feed from 1150 DF parent station, as heard in past with one-hour-plus Central chex. Doing well for 1 kW, owning the channel now. IRCA Log of last year had it as 25 kW day power, but under previous branding as Extremo 720. But WRTH 2016 listed this as 1 kW, also Extremo (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)  

** MEXICO. 820, Oct 8 at 1228, romantic music in Spanish from west, familiarly from XEABCA Mexicali BCN, with hardly any WBAP now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 860, Oct 8 at 1217, Spanish talk about car theft rates in different states, 1219 TC for 6+, so in MDT zone, another TC, ``información nacional``. Loops SW. Ergo Chihuahua or Sinaloa: more likely XEZOL, Juárez, news format, 1000/500 watts, than XENW, Culiacán, variety format, 1000/250 watts. Anyhow, KKOW not really showing up yet, not even for polka-time circa 1227. Our sunrise today: 1233 UT.

1010, Oct 8 at 1213, I also have something in Spanish here, worth pursuing among several possibilities in N/W Mexico, if I can get past Amarillo et al. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** SOUTH CAROLINA [and non]. 7730, Oct 8 at 0619 tuneby WRMI, Brother HyStairical is commenting that despite mandatory evacuation order, he is ``not going``, and further ruminates that ``Everything I`ve done is in vain`` --- admittedly out of context, but I`ll say! An 85-year life totally wasted along with everyone he hoodwinked/persuaded to his sicko/psycho worldview.

7355, Oct 8 at 0621, another BS frequency, this one WHRI, accompanied by modulation squeals, sign of an ailing transmitter we have also heard on some other stations, but never WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** UGANDA [non]. 15240, Sat Oct 8 at 1600, WWRB is already on with hi-life music, VG signal, much better than neighbor 15825 WWCR; and 1604 R. Munansi starts talking in English about corruption in Uganda, naming numerous businesses owned by Muséveni or his family. So schedule appears to be at least: 16-19 UT Sat & Sun. We are still wondering how well this get to Uganda, as it has been inaudible in South Africa (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1846 monitoring: confirmed Saturday Oct 8 at 1445 check, the 1431 broadcast on 7265-CUSB, Hamburger Lokalradio via UTwente. Readable, but with some ACI. Had been missing at least the past two weeks. Next:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ZAMBIA [and non]. 13680, Sat Oct 8 at 1233, JBA carrier; 1349 no carrier; 1433 W&M speaking non-English, Farsi? Voice of Hope Africa is reported finally to have its second 100 kW transmitter running, scheduled on 13680 Sat & Sun 12-17 UT, via NW antenna toward W Africa and US, // non-direxional 9680, where as usual we hear only the China radio war. 

13680 at 1430-1500 is NHK Farsi eastward from FRANCE; and also registered on 13680 at 15-16 is CRI English to Europe via Kashgar, EAST TURKISTAN. Yet VOHA went ahead with this frequency! Since God is omniscient, He would be the perfect frequency manager, if only He could be bothered and could communicate His better choices to the station. Hmmm, what a coincidence, all three end in -680 already: is there some numerological/supersitious/biblical significance to that?

Richard Langley has confirmed the other transmission on 9680, M-F at 05-08 (Aoki claims this one is 7-days, but I don`t think so), is heard duplicated on 11680, which also has CCI problems; I haven`t tried that one yet, but MUF permitting, it should be best for us. However:

11680, Oct 8 at 1434, I check here anyway and am surprised to hear a new signal, other than KCBS Korea North: It`s quite good, S9+10 with ``Amazing Grace`` variations on guitar, segué to jazz drumming but tune soon recognizable as an hymn --- I`ll bet this is VOH-Z, on its other frequency contrary to publicized schedule! Despite aiming at us, could it be long-path off the back, a better propagational path?

Should have stayed with it, because at 1559 recheck only a JBA carrier on 11680, which could well be NK now. Nothing audible on 9680 or 13680 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA carrier search October 8 on the DX-398, well before our sunrise 1233 UT:

At 1123, 738 from SW is much stronger than the others, almost upgradable to BA instead of JBA, but not enough for modulation; presumably Tahiti, altho there are also Australia/NZ stations on channel.

At 1125, 702-WSW, 693-WSW

At 1126, 774-WSW, 1035-WSW; none higher to topend

At 1131, 774-NW, so Japan competing with otherwise down-unders

At 1133, 738 still strongest and steadiest, from SW

At 1153, 738 is also detectable on the R-75/E-W longwire

Glenn Hauser logs October 7-8, 2016

** ALBANIA. 9855-, Oct 8 at 0127, R. Tirana IS plus humroar = only S3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, Fri Oct 7 at 1918, no signal from LRA36, but time to keep an ear on this, as per report from Italy quoted on WORLD OF RADIO 1846 that they hope to get antenna tower repaired soon and back on the air. Previous schedule was roughly 18-21 UT Mon-Fri only. 

Incredibly, despite its protracted absence, not heard since last year (altho it tried to come back July 27) no one has usurped 15475 (last used by Gabon until it crashed), nor is there anything on 15470 during RNASG hours; but there is now something on 15480, which is AWR Arabic via Madagascar at 19-20 (and also R. Publique Africaine via France to Burundi at 18-19). IIRC LRA36 was rather USB, but in this case one might prefer LSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ARGENTINA. 15345.26v, Oct 7 at 1921, RAE is JBA at S1, and frequency is varying as I measure it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 900, Oct 8 at 0154, historical talk in Spanish about Cuba mixing with ad in English for a .ca website. Therefore I am getting 50 kW R. Progreso from way off in San Germán, Holguín (with // 890, 200 kW in closer Chambas, Ciego de Ávila blocked by WLS which I am not trying to null); and, 50 kW CHML Hamilton, Ontario (likely rather than CKBI Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, a rarity here). One could easily be getting Mexican or lots of little US stations on 900 too, for four countries at once (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5040, Oct 8 at 0144, RHC is OFF this frequency, still on 6000, 6060, 6165, 9535, etc. Maybe they are finally working on that transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. 7215, Oct 8 at 0134, very poor yet S7 signal with Qur`an. It`s VIRI, 0030-0230, 500 kW, 289 degrees from Zahedan in Arabic. Would a ham on top of it be taken as an attack upon Islam? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 17790, Oct 7 at 1913, WRMI has recovered electric fluid, but this one BS frequency is still AWOL (more under WRMI logs). 

[non non] 17765, meanwhile, Oct 7 at 1914, BS via WHRI is S9+45 and splattering from 17740 to 17785. Fortunately for KVOH it`s already off 17775 this Friday, but would be hit before 1900 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 11580, Oct 7 at 1949, now this WRMI frequency is missing (while 11565 BS is OK as usual); after 2000, 11580 is still off, so I can`t monitor what program or World Music is really on today.

7730, UT Sat Oct 8 at 0009, WRMI is still repeating the CDXA special tribute to Ecos del Torbes from two months ago, altho it had been erased from the skedgrid leaving a blank space. I can think of another DX program which could fit in there, new every week.

See also SOUTH CAROLINA [non] for another missing WRMI frequency.

11580, Sat Oct 8 at 0119, Xmas carol already, ``We Three Kings``, not sure of language on poor signal. This is the quarter-hour merely labeled `Hymns` on schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Over the past week (September 29 through October 5), relative to the

previous seven days the average daily sunspot number declined 9

points to 20.7, and average daily solar flux increased from 81.4 to

86.7. Average daily planetary A index increased from 19.7 to 21.4,

and average mid-latitude A index (measured in Virginia) increased

from 12.3 to 15.1.

Hey, think that was bad? At University of Alaska's magnetometer

which supplies us with the College A Index (see

Propagation News – 9 October 2016

Last week the solar flux index didn’t behave as predicted and rose to 99 by Thursday. This was mainly due to the appearance of large sunspot groups 2598 and 2599. There were no major solar flares, only minor C-class events, but unsettled geomagnetic conditions continued thanks to ongoing coronal hole activity.

The K-index hit four and five earlier in the week, although conditions improved by Thursday. Next week looks to be quite settled, geomagnetically, with the SDO spacecraft’s extreme current ultraviolet image showing no Earth-facing coronal holes. NOAA predicts the highest K-index reading will be two early in the week, rising to four on Sunday the 16th. The US Air Force predicts the solar flux index should remain in the range 95-102. Sunspot group 2599 appears fairly settled, so we don’t expect any M or X-class solar flares.

If the forecast holds true it looks like HF conditions may be good next week. Maximum usable frequencies have been subdued, but if the settled conditions can continue we may expect openings up to 21MHz or higher at times. The best HF paths will still be north-south, but don’t ignore greyline contacts on 40 and 80 metres at dawn.

VHF and up propagation:

There’s one strong message and one very weak message in the tropo forecast for next week. The strong message is that the high, which gave some fair tropo conditions in the last 144MHz UK activity contest, will decline after the weekend and gradually become displaced to the north of Scotland. At the same time, pressure will fall over southern Britain as it turns more showery and the north-easterly breeze picks up a little. So, not a good sign for tropo in the coming week.

The weaker part of the forecast message is that prediction models diverge as we head towards the end of the week. One version rebuilds the high from the north of Scotland to bring a renewed chance of tropo by the weekend, but other versions remain in the showery regime through to the end of the week and offer no potential return of tropo. As we are talking about 7-10 days ahead, uncertainty at this range is not unusual.

There are no meteor showers this week so keep looking in the early mornings for random contacts on the lower VHF bands. Moon declination increases this week, going positive on Friday, so EME moon windows lengthen. Losses are low and falling this week.
