Glenn Hauser logs August 2-3, 2019

** CHINA. Local line noise level up to S9+20 has been unrelenting, worst between 3 and 9 MHz, so what little DX there might be on the summer tropical bands is blotted; ergo I amuse myself by surveying once again, CNR1 jammers above 9 MHz; never the same assortment from one day to the next, or even one hour to the next, thanks, presumably to the unpredictability of Sound of Hope frequency selexions among its known scores of choices, keeping the Jamming Department at CNR on their toes. August 2 at 1245 I start hearing CNR1 talk in Chinese, u.o.s., at a wide variety of levels:

9230, S7-S8
10160, S6-S3
10920, S4-S6
11100, S5-S7
11120, S3-S5
11430, JBA music? else?
11460, S2-S3
11540, S4
11580, S4-S5 vs CCI target
11640, S4-S6 vs CCI target
11785, S5-S6
11825, S6-S8 vs CCI target
12190, S3; now at 1256 with music from CNR1
12880, S2-S3
13070, S3-S5
13150, JBA carrier
13550, S3-S4
13890, timesignal to 1300*
Then no others found up to 16 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS. 13690.049, August 2 at 1304, sorethumbly off-frequency carrier while surveying CNR1 jammers before the hour, now back to measure it in Chinese talk; from VOA this hour only via SAIPAN, typical inaccuracy (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 2097.3, August 2 at 0620 UT, CW beacon A every ten seconds, audible despite storm noise level worse than line noise at this frequency; from anywhere *but* Quartzsite AZ. Again audible same August 3 at 0353 check. Have not been able to hear the W weather beacon around 4102+ kHz, however (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 18120-USB, Aug 2 at 1842, at least one hamsig on this band, tnx to sporadic E, ragchew QSO but can`t hear his contact. Talking about activity in AM on 7293, mainly by old-timers dying off and using antique equipment, including him with a 1953 xtal-controlled unit; finally ID at cambio sounds like W7YM, without fonetix. If so, it`s Henry G. Laughlin in Lewistown MT.

18140-USB, then I hear another, Aug 2 at 1844, saying temp is a hot 33C = 89F despite his 5,200-foot elevation in north central part of state implying it`s AZ where Phœnixians escape their heat. Contact unheard but called Steve, HP9SAM as in Panamá; own call sounds like KW6J/7; if so, he is from Corona del Mar, CA, Brian C. Stapleton.

Then I check DXmap for Es MUF patches, and find a 17 MHz one above Flagstaff, but none midway between us (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7490.1v, August 3 at 0000, music unseems William Tell Overture as I try to hear Angela And Allan Weiner WorldWide on WBCQ, but buried in local hi line noise level. By 0004 I`m on the webcast, now with W.T.O. but sounds slightly different and runs late until 0005, when it`s The TimTron hosting instead of A&AW. Says now quadricasting on 3265, 5130, 6160 and 7490 (but if I can`t get 7490, forget the rest!). He doesn`t have AW`s proper theme music so he found another W.T.O. performance on YT. 

People are wondering about Superstation 9330? It`s not 100% complete yet, even tho it was on the air for a while. Transmitter is water-cooled, but additional air conditioning is needed to be upgraded. Antenna system is not 100% complete either; and not sure how properly it funxion: so shut down until these questions be answered. 

Sounds like he opens a beer -- no, he says it`s cold H2O as doctor forbids him any alcohol. On the mend from Lyme disease, tapering off meds. 

Glad to be on new 49mb frequency, and reminisces how, long ago, he and other hams in Massachusetts wanted to play music so did it there instead of 40m. 0013 music break with a Leon Russell song. 0021 two belches; imitates how SSB sounds off-tuned plus and minus, as he prefers AM mode. Is going to tweak the 6160v transmitter for better power. ``Nifty`` 6160 is better than 5130 until band ``goes long`` when 5130 still holds up over shorter distances. 

0032 another W.T.O. version, jazzed up! Ha. 0038 another song break, ``Ring of Fire`` by Social Distortion. [0042 do I feel a quick earthquake tremor in Enid??] Another song until 0047 outroed as ``See My Way``. 0049 talking about Tesla coils, belch. 0050 a cough and 7490 webcast stops! Must be delicate connexion there; at first suspected problem at my end. 0053 I think to try the Area 51 webcast and it is still running with TTT playing yet another version of W.T.O, from a video he says is worth seeing. 0056 talking about feeding and adopting a stray chat [sic]; belch, and SFX, woman talking briefly presumably Mrs. Tron. Over without an outro or goodbye at 0100. Said he kept computer off so no e-mail; and no phone calls either.

John Carver also monitored the hour on an axual radio:

``Tonight's show started a bit late this evening on 7490 with TimTron as the host. He says they are broadcasting on 3265, 5130, 6160 and 7490. He repeats what Allan previously said about the cooling problems with the new transmitter and the continuing antenna work. He also states that his Lyme disease seems to be on the run and he is feeling better and they are cutting his medication back some. Then into some music.

Some talk about 49 meters and why he prefers AM for ham work. He also said that in general 6160 was doing better than 5130 at getting out to people. Evidently he hasn't listened to it from my QTH. Then more music. Some more talk about 6160. He must really like it. Some talk about Tesla coils and how he modified one to play music. Then he played a recording of two Tesla coils playing the William Tell Overture.

Program was off the air at 0100. Some dead air for a bit on 7490 then into Brother Stair. A minute or two after that music started and we had both music and Brother Stair at the same time. John Mid-North Indiana``.

6160v, Aug 3 at 0131, I manage to detect a JBA carrier from this WBCQ on the air after nothing for several weekdays, vs local HNL (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9475, August 2 at 1835, no signal from WTWW-1, nor on night frequency 5830, but could be on below noise level. Let alone 5085 WTWW-2. 31m propagation is OK with audibles: 9395 TOMBS via WRMI; 9265 JBA WINB carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** U S A. 1210, August 3 at 0355 UT, heavy SAH typical of KGYN vs WJNL as previously measured, this time about 168/minute, or 2.8 Hz; national commercial, but then ``94.5 WJNL`` ID and back to Jim Bohannon show live. So 50 kW daytimer in Kingsley MI, Traverse City market is still cheating as first noted here a sesquimonth ago. 94.5 would be their FM affiliate in Mackinaw City (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Correxion: this should have started with 9320-9340, not 9320-9330; fixed:

9320-9340, August 2 at 0042, wideband weak whine centered about 9330, making me wonder if it`s something leaking out of WBCQ-6 Superstation, which has been off the air for further antenna work. On AWWW last week, AW said it would not resume until late August, but a twit from him August 1 via Artie Bigley said it would be ``soon``... (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

World Music Radio: antenna direction change

For the past few weeks World Music Radio has been broadcasting on 15805 kHz with 200 W every Saturday and Sunday at 07-20 UTC beamed north from Randers, Denmark, in other words towards Northern Scandinavia, Western North America and Japan. Signal strength has been excellent in Northern Scandinavia and the signal has also been audible in Japan (from around local sunset in Japan) and Western North America (Alberta and British Colombia). Unfortunately not one single reception report has been received from DX’ers in Japan - and only two from Western Canada. And the interest among DXers in Northern Scandinavia has also been very limited.

So –weather permitting – the direction of the 3 element yagi used on 15805 kHz will be changed to due south within the next few days – most likely this coming week.

That means that this weekend – August 3-4 2019 – will be the last chance of having very good chances of picking up WMR on 15805 kHz in Japan and Western North America. 

There is a slight change of broadcasting hours this weekend: The transmitter on 15805 will be on the air continuously from Saturday morning August 3 at 07 UTC - until Sunday afternoon August 4 at 16 UTC. (The coming weeks the sign off time on Sunday will be back to 20 UTC).

Reception reports are welcome at wmr@wmr.dk and by snail mail to World Music Radio, PO Box 112, DK-8960 Randers SØ, Denmark.

The K7RA Solar Update

No sunspots were observed over the past week, and solar flux remains flat, with average daily values declining from 67.3 to 67.

Average daily planetary A index went from 5.3 to 5, and middle latitude A index from 6.3 to 5.9.

Predicted solar flux for the next 45 days remains at 67, August 2 through September 15, every day.

Predicted planetary A index is 5 on August 2-3, then 8, 18, 15, 12 and 8 on August 4-8, 5 on August 9-16, 8 on August 17-18, 5 on August 19-26, then 8, 16, 8, 5, 8, 22 and 16 on August 27 through September 2, 5 on September 3-12, 8 on September 13-14, and 5 on August 15.

Geomagnetic activity forecast for the period August 2-28, 2019 from F.K. Janda, OK1HH.

Geomagnetic field will be: 
Quiet on August 2-3, 8, 12-15, 21-22 
Quiet to unsettled on August 9, 16-17, 23, 25 
Quiet to active on August 4-5, 7, (10-11,) 19-20, 24, 28 
Unsettled to active on August 6, (18, 26-27) 
Active to disturbed-None!

Solar wind will intensify on August (2-3,) 6-8, (9-14,) 27-28

Parenthesis means lower probability of activity enhancement.

Spaceweather.com reminds us, "BE ALERT FOR PERSEID FIREBALLS: Earth is entering a stream of debris from giant Comet Swift-Tuttle, source of the annual Perseid meteor shower. Forecasters say the shower won't peak until Aug. 12-13, but already NASA cameras are catching Perseid fireballs streaking over the USA. The Perseids produce more fireballs than any other annual shower--largely due to the size of the parent comet--so your chances of seeing one are good."

Larry and several others including Max White, M0VE, reported recently about solar tsunamis: https://bit.ly/2OvhlDr

George, N2CG, in Saddle Brook, New Jersey wrote on July 29: “So far this year's Summer Es season daily FT8 openings between North America and Europe on 6 meters have mostly bypassed the FN20 and adjacent grids. They seem to favor the southeast (especially grids EL and EM) as seen daily on the DXMAPS Website.

“Whatever European openings I did manage to work so far were short lived, lasting just a few minutes to 20 minutes at best. However, that changed on Sunday July 28, 2019 beginning around 2100 UTC in southeast and around 2200 UTC at my location in New Jersey, when Finnish, Swedish, and Norwegian stations were copied on FT8 for more than an hour. I managed to decode the following stations: OH2MA, OH2FQV, OH2FNR, OH3XF, LA2XPA and SM3CCM, and I worked OG2M, OH3SR and OH3XA. This was my first time working Finland on 6 meters, and shortly after my contact OH3SR he verified our QSO on LoTW!

“August will bring the prime 6-meter Es season to a close. However, maybe the 6-meter gods have another surprise opening before the end of the season."

Media & Tech - 02/08/2019

Propagation News – 4 August 2019

A solar coronal hole pushed the Kp index to three last week and the solar flux index was static at 66. The plasma from the hole impacted the Earth on Wednesday, but it didn’t have the dire results that many had predicted. In fact, there was a pre-auroral enhancement that saw the maximum usable frequency over a 3,000km path climb to more than 18MHz at 2030UTC on Tuesday, the 30th. Two even larger coronal holes followed, matter from which is expected to hit the Earth on Sunday, the 4th. These latter holes have a positive polarity though, so the solar wind may not connect fully with the Earth’s magnetic field.

Next week NOAA has the solar flux index pegged at 67, but the good news is that once the high-speed solar wind stream from this latest coronal hole calms down we can expect more settled geomagnetic conditions.

In other news, 40m has been humming at night with many reports of US and Caribbean stations being worked.

The CY9C DXpedition to St Paul Island, off Nova Scotia, should now be under way. It’s planned to last until 8 August. The VOACAP online HF prediction tool shows that 20m from 2100 to 2200UTC may be favourite for a contact. Thirty metres offers an even better opportunity from 2000UTC to midnight, but is obviously restricted to CW and data modes. Later, 40 and 80 metres take over through the early hours, until sunrise. Good news for lesser-equipped stations is that CY9C is using FT8 in Fox and Hound mode at times.

VHF and up;

The end of this last week, and most of next, will still be on the unsettled side of high summer with areas of low pressure close to the British Isles. At this time of the year it often means heavy showery bursts of rain with a risk of thunder in places, so that’s a good signal for rain scatter on the microwave bands. High pressure is just putting in an appearance over the North Sea and Biscay, which means that some tropo paths might develop to the continent.

We have a feeling that the sporadic E season is in its last phase now, but don’t abandon the idea that sporadic E can still occur, since some good openings have been seen in previous years even into the first week of September. Keep a check on the clusters for the much rarer openings in August. They can be productive, although tend to be short-lived.

Moon declination goes negative on Monday so peak Moon elevations will be under 20 degrees by the end of the week. EME Moon windows will therefore be short. Path losses will still be reasonable though as we are still two weeks from apogee.

While the Perseids meteor shower doesn’t reach its peak for another week, the shower is quite broad so you can expect improving meteor scatter conditions as the week progresses.

Shortwave Radiogram, 1-4 August 2019

There were not very many responses last week to my question about whether you prefer "natural" line wrapping versus the CR/LF that I usually put at column 65 (or less). But the answers I did get favored the line breaks at 65. We will try it again this weekend: Natural wrapping in the MFSK32 news item (Ethiopia trees), and the line breaks in the MFSK64 news items.

Last weekend's mishaps included the previous weekend's show Friday at 1300-1330 UTC -- because i forgot to uplink the latest show to WRMI. That was corrected in time for the Sunday shows on WRMI. And Sunday at 0800 UTC, 5850 kHz did not come on the air. This was because of a feed line problem that could not be fixed until daylight. The good news was that 7730 khz was on the air and provided good reception in North America and the Pacific region. 

This weekend's show is in the usual MFSK32 and MFSK64, with ten MFSK images.

Here is the lineup for Shortwave Radiogram, program 111, 1-4 August 2019, in MFSK modes as noted:

 1:41  MFSK32: Program preview
 2:49  Ethiopia plants 350 million trees in one day*
 7:06  MFSK64: Discovery of an "ultrahot Neptune"*
10:54  Prefab wooden houses popular in the Czech Republic*
14:28  This week's images*
28:01  MFSK32: Closing announcements

* with image(s)

“This is a Music Show” is the newest addition to digital modes via analog shortwave. Most of the show is a music show, but the host transmits some MFSK text and image near the end of the broadcast. It’s transmitted on WRMI, 5850 kHz, Thursdays 0100-0200 UTC, and 9395 kHz, Thursdays 0130-0230 UTC (overlapping broadcasts Wednesday evening in the Americas). Also look for a waterfall ID at the beginning of the show. thisisamusicshow@gmail.com . www.instagram.com/thisisamusicshow/ www.twitter.com/ThisIsAMusicSho/

New York and Pennsylvania NBEMS nets. Most weekends, as KD9XB, I check in to the New York NBEMS (Narrow Band Emergency Messaging Software) net Saturday at 1200 UTC on 3584 kHz USB, and the Pennsylvania NBEMS net Sunday at 1200 UTC on 3583 kHz USB (with out-of-state check-ins now starting at 1130 UTC). Check-ins are usually in Thor 22, and messages are in MFSK32 (PA NBEMS is experimenting with Thor 50x1 for messages). Messages generally use the Flmsg add-on to Fldigi. If you are a radio amateur in eastern North America, feel free to check in. Outside the region, use an SDR in the eastern USA to tune in and decode. You do not need Flmsg to check in, and most of the messages can be read without Flmsg. If you can decode the net, send me an email to radiogram@verizon.net , or tweet to @SWRadiogram , and I will let them know you are tuned in. USEast NBEMS Net: Please also note the USEast NBEMS Net, Wednesdays at 2300 UTC (7 pm EDT) on 3536 kHz USB. I will try to check in to this net more frequently.

Thanks for your reception reports!

Glenn Hauser logs July 31-August 1-2, 2019

** CANADA. 1610, Aug 2 at 0133, YL mixing English with S Asian language, no doubt CHHA, Toronto, Voces Latinas, in two languages which are anything but Latin. Four-year-old program grid still comes up on website http://chha1610am.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/PostCard-CHHA-1610AM-2016.jpg claiming Portuguese occupies the M-F 9-10 pm ET hour, but I`ll bet it`s Punjabi shifted from the 10-11 pm EDT hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer search, August 1 at 1337:
11100, JBA carrier
11150, JBA in Chinese
11440, Chinese S1-S5
11460, Chinese S6-S9

Now from 1342, all audibly in Chinese talk:
12190, S9-S7
12500, S8-S5
12550, S9-S7
12800, S5-S3
12880, S5-S7
14640, S6-S3

14900, JBA carrier --- None WOOB higher up to 16.0 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, Aug 1 at 0434, RHC English is S9+20 but JBM, suptorted. Wiggle that patchcord! Only // at this early hour, 6165 is JBM but not distorted. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KIRITIMATI. 846, August 1 at 0532, JBA carrier vs storm noise level, presumed R. Kiribati, 10 kW, rather than anything from Europe this late where there are only *3* stations on 846 ranging from 0.3 to 1 to 3 kW, in Ireland, Denmark, and Italy.

Just when is sunset at London=Ronton, the main town on Xmas Island? I normally consult gaisma.com, but it`s wrong! Based on wrong longitude for this place:

``London, Kiribati - Basic information
Latitude: +1.99 (1°59'24"N)
Longitude: +157.78 (157°46'48"E)
claiming Aug 1 SS at 19:41 local - 12h = 0741 UT

It`s at 157+ WEST, NOT EAST!!! Off by some 46 degrees, which makes all the other info about it wrong.

Kiribati is a very ``large`` country, widely separated island groups. Kiritimati is the most easterly, in fact in the western hemisphere, where it should be east of the Dateline, but to keep the country in the same day, DL has been pushed eastward. Total population only about 100 K. Yet Kiribati encompasses three timezones, UT +12, 13 and 14, which only a few other countries in the world can match or exceed (not including the largest, India and China).

Wikipedia and Geohack present the correct coordinates: 1° 59′ 0″ N, 157° 28′ 30″ W

Now I go to https://www.timeanddate.com/time/zone/kiribati/kiritimati where the timezone is shown as UT +14 and the current sunset time at: https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/kiribati/kiritimati is 18:41 local - 14h = 0441 UT

Now that makes a lot more sense for 846 kHz being positioned for nighttime propagation, even an hour earlier than I was hearing it: not, until two hours later (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1650, Aug 2 at 0131 UT, 479-area code ad, and non-ID as ``Life 98-7``, i.e. the puny translator in Fort Smith AR, of KFSW which is really in Sallisaw OK. 

In QRM also a mention of ``The River Valley``, which seems extremely
generic applicable to anywhere, but is a known monicker for eastern
Iowa, i.e. KCNZ Cedar Falls (BTW, what a coincidence that WCNZ is on
the next frequency 1660, in Marco Island FL, presumably unrelated with
widely divergent formats) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 9690, August 2 at 0040, REE North American frequency still AWOL, while 11940 for S America is still well audible. If one transmitter is out of order, there are still two more which could be used weekday evenings for us, after they are finished with the Eastern Hemisphere at 2200 ---- but that would make too much sense (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1992 monitoring: confirmed Wed July 31 at 2100 on WBCQ 7490.1v, JBA. 

NOT confirmed on WRMI 9955, until abrupt *cut-on Wed July 31 at 2100.5 with WOR joined already in progress, poor with Cuban pulse jamming already. Such are the risks of being the very first program on a given transmission. Far from synch with WBCQ which is too weak to figure out the displacement.

Also confirmed UT Thu August 1 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, fair S8-S9+10 but not overcoming storm noise level (local hi line noise is off at the moment; but back 24 hours later)

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9320-9330, August 2 at 0042, wideband weak whine centered about 9330, making me wonder if it`s something leaking out of WBCQ-6 Superstation, which has been off the air for further antenna work. On AWWW last week, AW said it would not resume until late August, but a twit from him August 1 via Artie Bigley said it would be ``soon``.

Meanwhile via Ivo Ivanov, different frequencies for the World`s Last Chance Arabic service have been registered with HFCC, effective Aug 5? at 75 degrees: 12120 at 2000-0857, and 15705 at 0900-1157; the rest of the day in English on 9330. Apparently someone is not aware that 12120 is occupied by continuous RTTY at least in the daytime. That should be a fun collision should it ever eventuate.

6160v, Aug 2 at 0050, still nothing from new WBCQ frequency via ``classic`` transmitter ex-9330v. Maybe will be running only on weekends? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1993, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Quick MW bandscan at SSS Aug 2 at 0140 UT finds live anti-Democratic ranting from acting president Drumpf at a rally in Cincinnati on at least: 840 WHAS Louisville, 890 WLS Chicago, 600 presumed WMT Iowa, and on 760 a station with ``Amen`` interjexions, so KCCV, a Kansas City Bott rather than WJR Detroit? KCCV is supposed to cut from 6000 to 200 watts at night, after 0115 UT in August, and normally we hear only WJR. Loads of major AM stations demean themselves by spewing far-right hateshows all day, but the above are worst of the worst. Note, NOT heard on WLW Cincinnati (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5909.5-USB, Aug 2 at 0048, 2-way JBA in English, American military style, vs HNL; one callsign maybe ``Countdown`` and a brief digiburst. Lots of autologs in the UDXF iog, including ``5909.5 is one of the freqs of the US COTHEN network`` meaning Cellular Over-The-Horizon Enforcement Network, first reported in 2010y. What is that all about? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

UNIDENTIFIED. 12025, Aug 2 at 0029, S6-S8 of very distorted modulation on very rough unstable carrier, not improved by FM tuning. Seems to be mainly music, like a spur or badly mistuned transmitter, but NOT matching biggest 25m signals of RHC, REE, or RNA. Maybe Cairo attempting to resume Latin American service? But imaginarily scheduled on 9 MHz band now. 

Another possibility: Reach Beyond Australia is the only thing sked on 12025 at 0030-0100 in Burmese, partly Rohingya; or jamming? (So would the Rohingya be less persecuted in Myanmar if they were Christians?)  Recheck on another receiver at 0116, not heard, so could also be something local (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15400, August 1 at 1348, open carrier at S8, some slow fading to S4, but off by 1349*. Maybe a tune-up check by Ascension or Issoudun which radiate later hours on this frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Last FRS broadcast bad propagation

Last Sunday's FRS broadcast suffered from instable propagation conditions. Some might have enjoyed good reception whereas others' reception was poor. It is commonly known that SW conditions have been poor. Not only during daytime but also sometimes during evening. Last Sunday we were received in Cyprus and Mexico (not via SDR) while reception in areas where 7700 is almost always satisfactory, was poor. Apart from the final 60 min. when the first show (Bert van Leer) was repeated; that was between 23:00-23:50 CEST. During that time 7700 was very strong and also 5810 did well.

There might be a repeat next Sunday August 4th or August 11th. At this  moment things are uncertain. But it's worth while to tune in and give it a try! Same time schedule and same freqs being 7700//5810 kHz. Details are still to be read on our site: http://www.frsholland.nl/20-latest-news/132-frs-on-air-sunday-evening-july-28th.html

Remember there are streams planned for next Thursday, Saturday & Sunday (twice!). FRS'  39th anniversary will be celebrated on Sunday Sept. 1st. Details will follow in the course of August.

73s,  Peter V. on behalf of the FRS team
