Log utility "da balcone"

In crisi di astinenza da HF mi sono portato a Ginevra il Perseus e l'antenna LOOP L-101 e l'ho installata
sul balcone del mio appartamento, in pieno centro al terzo piano. Con mio stupore sono riuscito a fare qualche ascolto utility anche se le HF sono zeppe di rumore:

Glenn Hauser logs September 6-7, 2009

Note: I have raised a number of questions in the logs below, so it would be nice if some answers or discussion would follow. On some of the lists where I post my logs, hardly anyone ever replies, making me wonder if anyone is even reading them. 73, Glenn

** CUBA. 9545, Sept 6 at 2040 with cohetes at variable rates from the DentroCuban Jamming Command on a frequency which needs no jamming at this hour until República comes up at 2300; meanwhile wall of noise jamming on 9565 against Martí (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ECUADOR [and non]. Bandscanning 49m at an unreasonably early hour here Sept 6, and despite hi noise level after getting Mérida on 6104.8 [see MEXICO], I looked for more, and found a signal on 6050 at 2045, also in Spanish, so has to be HCJB`s regional service roughly two hours before sunset there and four hours before sunset here. At 2053 a bit stronger with
choral hymn, amen, 2055 Spanish talk. Hoped to get definite ID and/or characteristic automatic timesignal at 2100 but by then it had faded down and out. A fluky reception.

BTW, a quirk of my FRG-7 (or all of them?) is that in the overlap within each MHz band between about 965 and 055 kHz, there is noticeably greater sensitivity by tuning up from below rather than down from above. Can this be evened out be realignment, and would one even want to? So for 6050 I had a choice of 5 MHz + 1050 kHz, or 6 MHz + 50 kHz. With the former I was getting a stronger signal measuring S9+5 at peak. Best 49m signals at this time were Habana on 6000 and 5965; also barely audible CFRX 6070 and WBOH 5920 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. Tuned in 15190 at 2111 Sept 6 to find open carrier from Radio Africa. Not unusual for there to be VERY long periods of dead air from this station, so while my attention was focused elsewhere, left this turned up to find out just how long the dead air would last: until 2122, when with never an ID, abruptly started a preacher from North Carolina concerned about the last days and the return of Jesus; good modulation on this one, and he paused briefly to turn off an alarm beeper. So the dead air was at least 11 minutes. Are the Radio Africa operators dozing off, inebriated, stepping out for a smoke or some other important business, or just totally nonchalant about getting the paid-for evangelists on the air? What does pointlessly burning 50 kW for 11+ minutes cost in this poor country? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GERMANY [non]. 11670, Arabic station with good signal, Sept 6 at 2033 with several mentions of ``Al-mania``, soon confirmed with DW jingle. Hmmm, that cognates with Alemania, the Spanish name for Germany, so did the Spaniards get it from the Arabs or vice versa, and why call it something completely unrelated to ``Deutschland`` or ``Germania``? Or is Ger a translation of Ale or v.v.? One might ask the same of the French. O, this is DW at 19-21, 250 kW, 100 degrees via Sines, PORTUGAL (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. Despite hi local noise level, I minimised it as best I could by closing down several known household noise sources, and boldly commenced to bandscan as low as 6 MHz at the early hour of 2043 UT Sept 6 = 2 hours and 11 minutes after local mean noon, closer to that than to sunset. Yay, bits of Spanish could be heard at a couple signal peaks on 6104.8, has to be XEQM, RASA Mérida. I did not stay on frequency constantly, but often checked in next semisesquihour, heard it no more altho could detect weak carrier when I quit at 2133. HCJB was also poking in around the same time; see ECUADOR; and also UNIDENTIFIED 9600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA [and non]. 9765, Sept 6 at 2039 with roughly equal mix of Castilian and British talk, fast SAH between them of approx. 15 Hz. Looked up later, this clash is between Spain via Costa Rica site and Romania via Galbeni site, the former using 9765 for very long hours and the latter only during this semihour designated for Europe, altho exactly the same 300 degree heading as designated to NAm at same time on other frequencies; can RRI adjust the vertical takeoff angle to optimize for closer or further targets at the same azimuth? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Substituting for the ``Available Time Slot`` show on WBCQ 7415, Sunday Sept 6 at 2104 was a repeat of Allan Weiner Worldwide, which he said was // 5110, but that referred to the Friday 2300 live airing. Later in hour, as reception was improving, he was advising pirates not to deliberately interfere with other services, a good idea (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. YFR keeps shifting around different relay sites and frequencies, testing? 5930, weakly heard Sept 7 at 0053 with Harold Droning in English // 7360, both of which have adjacent interference from much stronger signals: 7365 DentroCuban Jamming Command and Radio Martí; 5935 WWCR and DGS. These are both via French Guiana (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6110, open carrier as I tuned in at 2107 Sept 6, then off after a few sex. Likely VOA Greenville tuning up for Spanish service which does not start until 2300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. My 49m bandscan uncovering signals out of the noise level earlier than expected found TADIL-A beeping on 6130, greatly improved with BFO on, Sept 6 at 2107; 5 beeps and then a longer noise/data burst. However, one could also detect briefer noise/data bursts at the end of each short beep (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7175 at 2101 Sept 6, sure sounded like DRM roar centered here, but there would not be any broadcaster now that it`s a hamband. But it could be Ethiopian jamming against Eritrea, which others have reported sounds a lot like DRM (or could even be DRM used for this nefarious purpose?). But it vanished at 2102 before I could monitor any further. Could also have been ham experimenting with DRM, or would that have been restricted to below 7100? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. A weak het on 9600 caught my ear Sept 6 at 2036, roughly one semikHz on the hi side, or more like 9600.4. That immediately brings visions of XEYU, Radio UNAM, Mexico City, which when last active a couple years ago was always slightly off-frequency on the low side. But we have no reason to believe it`s back on the air, since the engineer who was trying to keep it on SW moved to another job. What else might be off-frequency here? Not likely Kashgar with its rather new equipment, but which probably provided the other side of the het. Habana not on the air at this hour, for sure. There is really nothing else listed anywhere, so a faint hope remains for XEYU, with further chex called for (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Am stereo con Sodira,

Dopo aver letto un'intessante articolo sull'uso del software Sodira per ascoltare l'Am stereo stasera mi sono messo a fare qualche prova,
e devo dire che funziona molto bene. Mentre vi scrivo sto ascoltando Radio Blue da Parigi sui 864 khz, come ricevitore uso il Perseus
e mediante il VAC (Virtual Audio Cable) l'ho collegato al software free Sodira che mi permette di ricevere in AM Stereo. La qualita' d'ascolto
e' veramente ottima, altro che Drm :-)

L'antenna e' il loop L-101 e mi trovo nel centro di Ginevra con l'antenna montata sul balcone.

Glenn Hauser logs September 6, 2009

** CANADA [and non]. 6070, CFRX Sept 6 at 1249 with fast SAH of approximately 10 Hz, but no other modulation, North Korean noise or audible het, which must have just gone off, and could not imagine that suddenly being so close to 6070.0, so what`s the SAH from? It too was gone at 1256. Possibilities on 6070 testing prior to other dayparts are Yamata, Novosibirsk, Tinang, even Jayapura which has been inactive here longtime. Something intriguing to pursue (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake Sept 6: at 1308 good on 8400 and 9000, at 1318 fair on 10210, no others heard higher (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. RHC, 6010, Sept 6 at 0535 starting DXers Unlimited, VG signal but can hear a bit of a squeal, i.e. hi-pitched and slightly varying. This is what I was previously reporting occasionally also on other stations including some WWCR frequencies, coming from their own transmitters and not a het from an external source.

Cohetes from the DentroCuban Jamming Command against nothing on 9545, Sept 6 at 1314, more than 6 sesquihours after R. República is through with it at 0400.

It`s Sunday Sept 6 so time to check for Aló, Presidente, or anomalies it causes, which I missed doing last week. At 1412 nothing transmitted on 80% of the scheduled A,P channels, 11690, 12010, 13750 and 17750; but 13680 had big signal and huge hum, wiggle that patchcord! And trace of audio which was not // RHC mainstream frequencies such as 13780 which was normal in philately show. 13880 had the leapfrog displaying both the hummer and the stamper.

Meanwhile weaker 13760 which should have been // an echo apart from 13780 was just open carrier. At 1429, 13680 still humming; 1443 now fixed and // 13780 with mainstream, still nothing on the other A,P channels. By final check at 1549, RHC 13760 back in biz // 11760 but still no A,P and the only other Cuban frequency on the 22mb air was 13740 CRI relay in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRELAND [non]. Looked for RTE special Sunday Sept 6 at 1547 as scheduled on 12050, 17705 from unknown sites to Africa, but could not hear anything. However, S. Hasegawa of NDXC in Japan tells DXLD that at 1505 they both were carrying RCI English instead of RTE1! For a once-a-year highly-anticipated live sporting special, they`d better get it right on the first and only try. This would have been the All-Ireland Hurling Final. Did any of it air on SW?

Same schedule is however in store one fortnight hence on Sept 20 for the All-Ireland Gaelic Football Final: 1300-1700 on 17505 to EAf, 1430-1630 on 12050 to WAf (and also 13-17 on 7265 to SAf) per advance info Alan Pennington posted to the dxldyg (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [and non]. Re my previous report of the clandestines jammed on 6003, 6518 and 6600, as an aside to the QRM caused to Habana 6000 --- I confused two `different` stations, now suffering the same kind of noise jamming.

As in WRTH 2009, the one on 6003 is Echo of Hope, also on 3985 and 6348. 6348 only has a different jamming sound; it used to be whoop-whoop but now it`s more like a clatter, Sept 6 at 1252, with a bit of music audible underneath.

And the one on 3912, 6518 and 6600 is Voice of the People. They are surely closely related, in fact both run by the ROK national intelligence service, WRTH says, all transmitted from Gyeonggi-do (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 6090, Anguilla missing a second night, Sept 6 at 0545 so I could hear some weak chanting, likely FRCN Kaduna, as it normally puts a het on Caribeacon around this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Unlike 24.5 hours earlier, when WEWN had English and Spanish on reversed frequencies, Sept 6 at 1548 check, 11520 // 11550 in Spanish, not // weak 15610 so presumably correctly in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5780, very distorted FMy spur, Sept 6 at 0517, but much weaker than last night, presumably the Brazilian again. Now I`ve found previous report of this, in DXLD 9-062: Spur from R. Tupi on 5775 with delirious ``God Is Love`` IPDA preacher, heard Aug 21 around 1345 by Nigro, Uruguay, and Raimundo, São Paulo. They both said it was strong but did not mention distortion. Which R. Tupi from which nominal frequency? Most likely ZYE726, Curitiba PR, 6060 --- has that been missing? Usually blocked by Cuba here, tho sometimes hetted (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5810, huge open carrier and hum, Sept 6 at 0516 and still at 0532. First idea is WEWN, but Spanish to Mexico/CAm is scheduled there only until 0500, then moving to 7555, which in very poor propagation I was able to confirm as on the air at 0540 in Spanish, modulation OK, but with the persistent utility hash on the high sideband. Maybe 5810 was a Cuban numbers station transmitter, which use a number of frequencies in the 5.8-5.9 MHz area and strength rivaling the strongest RHC broadcast channels, altho I don`t recall this one.

BTW, as I started this monitoring session, the MUF was really down, nothing making it above 12 MHz, and on 25m, only NZ 11725/11675 with poor signals (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

** ANGUILLA [non]. Caribbean Beacon missing from 6090, Sept 5 at 0513, but could not hear anything else, not even Brazil or Nigeria, just DRM from 6085. Should have tried earlier as Brian Alexander who first alerted us about this, heard both plus Ethiopia around 0300.

CB also absent from 11775, Sept 5 at 1247, but again nothing else audible instead. That leaves PMS and DGS totally off SW at this hour! As WWCR 13845 is ceded to Brother Scare in the mornings, and all the Costa Rican transmitters have been silent for many months, altho still appearing e.g. in Prime Time Shortwave! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BIAFRA [non]. Nope, V. of Biafra International still on 15665, Sept 5, the first Friday of the month, checked briefly sometime between 19 and 20 UT, nothing on 17520, where WRTH July update guessed it would move. All one can do is guess when it comes to this station, and who knows, maybe later on will still go to 17520 ``in September``, not necessarily from the first week. Axually, per FCC schedule, WHRI during this hour has not been on 15665 since April 5 and has always been on 17520; surprise! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA [non]. 15325, Sept 5 at 1527 Russian singing with guitar and speaking, 1528 ID and addresses for RCI, cut off at 1529:30 before completed giving E-mail address. This is via Woofferton. Someone please inform them in Montreal that VTC WILL CUT OFF transmission at :29:30 whether it is finished or not, so it would be prudent to wrap up the program before then (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [and non] Firedrake Sept 5: at 1230 fair on 9000 but with aero SSB QRM from 8996 or so. At 1244 good on 10210, 1250 good on 8400. No others heard up to 19 MHz during the next hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

We were wondering about the different program feed routes used by CRI to its many relay sites. A few hours are simulcast via Canada and Cuba, such as Cantonese at 12 on 11850 and 9570 respectively. Sept 5 at 1235 check we found the two just an echo/reverb apart, much closer than some other combinations (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

15600, Sept 5 at 1303 song, sounds like C&W/hymn, 1305 announcement sounds Indonesian; 1306 song starts instrumental, adds choral, sort of Russian style, pop beat. What`s this? Per Aoki, CRI`s Malay service at 1230-1330, 100 kW, 175 degrees via Kunming, ChiCom`s only use of 15600, except when Sound of Hope needs to be jammed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. As I tuned by 15120, Sept 5 at 1301, Tony was about to list frequencies, so I copied them: ``15120, 15360, 13760, 13680, 13780, 11760, 5965, 6000`` (and `audio real` which is really windows media, pace Mr. Gates). Incredibly, the previous listing has been updated two-three months after some significant changes were made. 5965 has finally been added, but still lacking 11800, altho 12000 which it replaced has finally been marked out! RHC still can`t get their act together. Just to be sure: yes, 11800, always distorted is indeed on at 1309 check, as it is quite reliably in the mornings now as well as afternoons. But why would anyone listen to it instead of better modulated 11760? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDIA. 9425, AIR National Channel, Sept 5 at 1432 with news in English, a bit of weather, 1435 back into Hindi ad, Akashvani ID, 1437 dead air, music past 1439, no more English since it`s Saturday, but there is on other days; fair even on kitchen table DX-390 with reelout inside antenna (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA SOUTH [non]. KBS World Radio, 9650 via Canada, Saturday Sept 5 toward the end of Worldwide Friendship, Kevin O`Donovan`s Listening Tips from Farmington NM at 1252-1255 concluded saying he would be posting the scripts on the KBS messageboard. We found that at http://world.kbs.co.kr/english/radio/info/message_list.htm
but his latest one was not yet there; previous ones are down the list from jazzkevin. Unfortunately, no one is keeping out pornspam but easily avoided from garbled senders. It seems KBS is not savvy about how to run a website, also having published full e-mail addresses of contest winners. Board does include weekly English program previews, very sketchy like given on air after Kevin, but better than nothing, such as:

``Preview for the second week of September 

Monday's Business Watch looks at the Sangam World Cup Park, where the new environment-friendly hydrogen station will be built.

On Tuesday's Traveling Korea, listeners will be able to get an overview of the Global Fair and Festival 2009 Incheon.

On Wednesday Culture on the Move will take you on a tour of the Children's Museum, a part of the National Museum of Korea.

It's going to be a week of interesting and informative programs, so don't forget to tune in!`` (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** RUSSIA. 12065, Sept 5 at 1331, carillon, 1333 announcement, pauses, intonation sounds Swedish, more bells; then lots of different bell and  percussion sounds. All references show this hour is supposed to be VOR via Chita in English to SE Asia. If it was really in English, that never clicked in due to poor signal. VOR program grid at http://www.ruvr.ru/main.php?lng=eng&w=225&p=
fittingly shows Music & Musicians during the entire 13-14 hour on Saturdays.

15605, good signal Sept 5 at 1355, VOR with nice Hindi song, 1359 ID and IS, 1400 switch to English, news, 1408 News & Views of Medvedev. It takes a good day for VOR to be listenable at this hour in CNAm, target area opposite worldside from Moscow site, poor second being 9850 Samara sometimes audible, so we hope there will be more, autumnly
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. Brother Scare`s Sabbath via: 9385 WWRB, Sept 5 at 1421 screaming ``you`re stupid!``, to a chorus of murmured amens from his psychophants. When he screams, WWRB overmodulates and splatters more than usual; don`t they have any limiting? So on this occasion, 9395-9400 area has WWRB splash instead of WTJC-9370 spurs which are absent for the moment.

Then checked // B.S. frequencies to see how they matched, as approximately timed: 15420 WBCQ 16 seconds behind 9385. 13845 WWCR 3 seconds ahead of 9385. Later at 1530, DTK 17485 joined B.S. in progress, and it was 3 seconds behind 9385. So rearranged into time order:

1, WWCR 13845
2, WWRB 9385 delayed 3 sex
3, DTK Jülich 17485 delayed another 3 sex
3, WBCQ 15420 delayed another 13 sex

17485 probably started at scheduled 1500, and another anomaly, no R. Prague clash audible after 1530; have they moved? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U K [non]. 13855, B-B-C- chimes at 1257 Sept 5, 1259 opening in Uzbek mentioning bbcuzbek.com, timesignal and BBC news sounder which it seems crosses all language boundaries, fair signal. This is 500 kW, 62 degrees from Rampisham at 1300-1330. No jamming audible as on previous occasions; the ChiCom do jam this service as a courtesy to their own oppressed DentroUzbex, or related Turkic ethnix, such as Uighurs who can understand it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 12005, Sept 5 at 1326, good signal with strumming and talking, first guess in Turkish; 1329 interrupted by news about Gordon Brown; by 1342 lite CODAR QRM which could be heard as low as 11980 vs CRI. Looked up later in Aoki, it`s R. Liberty in Kazakh, a Turkic language, 13-14, 250 kW, 348 degrees from Iranawila, SRI LANKA and also USward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DGIEST)

** U S A. In time for this week`s WORLD OF RADIO, WWCR-1 back on 15825, ex-2+ weeks of experimenting with 15820, Friday Sept 4 at 2037 check; JBA without any Es enhancement so all I could do was recognize me, not confirm it was new #1476, but surely it was. Still on 15825 Sept 5 morning.

BTW, JBA means just barely audible. I am not going to explain it every time I use it, or there would be no point in the abbr. Credit to Bob Thomas, Connecticut who came up with this usefully descriptive initialism, altho it means about the same as very poor reception (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. See previous report: WEWN, 15610, far too weak to tell if it was still spurry plus and minus 10, around 1915 check Sept 4, tho WYFR was sufficient on 15600 in Russian.

At 1342 Sept 5, 12160 WEWN English again audible sufficiently and no detectable spurs. Next check at 1520, 12160 was off and now 11550 in English with Catholic stuff, toll-free 1-877-573-7825, and het as always a problem on 11550 due to off-frequency Tainan, Taiwan transmitter at 14-17 among other hours.

As per WEWN`s own website sked quoted in my previous report, during the 15 UT hour, English is supposed to be on 15610, Spanish on 11520 and 11550. 11520 indeed in Spanish, but so is weak JBA 15610! They have their wires crossed, two frequencies/languages exchanged --- antennas too? One transmitter is supposed to be 24h in English to a variety of targets; the other two are supposed to be both in Spanish, one aimed at CAm/Mexico, the other at Cuba/SAm, whatever the frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. On Aug 20 I heard WRNO announcer say that from ``next week`` their SW service would expand to 12 hours a day. Altho on that day they were testing much beyond 0100-0400 UT, now it is 16 days later and still no sign of expanded schedule: 7505v, Sept 5 at 0514 and 1210 vacant. Any news on their revamped website http://www.wrnoworldwide.org/ --- ?
Oops, it must not have been re-upped as that redirects to http://sites.securepaynet.net/HostingRedirect.html so we can`t even hear them webcast, also promised to be 24h (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, Sept 5 at 1514 WRMI ID under jamming, 1515 into YL preacher from Miami, Healing Streams of Grace. WRMI Saturdays is entirely in English at least from 1400, and there`s usually little or no jamming against Prague at 1400. Jamming resumed, why? Because the DentroCuban Jamming Command can; take that! Yet Arnie sounds so friendly, oui mes amis (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 17680, CVC La Voz, Miami via Chile, Sept 5 in Spanish at 1321 had M telling W how to do breast self-exam, best times vs menstrual period; usual good signal back to the USA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VIETNAM. 9550, Sept 5 at 1234, two signals mixing, but dominated by YL in Russian, the other in Vietnamese. Per Aoki, the Russian is VOV, which alternates Russian and Chinese semihours between 1100 and 1330, 100 kW at 27 degrees from Hanoi so also usward, while the Vietnamese is CRI, 500 kW at 193 degrees from Beijing site, in the squabbling Commie neighbors` radiowar over this frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5780, plus/minus 10 kHz, extremely distorted S9+10 FMy spur at 0505 Sept 5, continuous talk, hard to recognize even language, but finally decided it was Brazilian. Did not find any matching modulation thruout the 49m band. I recall that a Brazilian station was reported from Brasil in this area, way off frequency, but can`t find it now as I don`t remember the exact frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9190-9210, presumed OTH radar pulses from China, weak Sept 5 at 1332 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9635, expecting to hear usual CVC La Voz, CHILE in Spanish, instead something in French, quite clearly spoken, Sept 5 at 1513. Mali? Maybe. But per EiBi, TWR Swaziland is also in French weekends at 1455-1525, but M-F in Malagasy. Aoki disagrees, that French is only on Sunday, azimuth for both 53 degrees, but that was B-08. WRTH A-09 update says French is on Saturday only, check; longpath? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Glenn Hauser logs September 3-4, 2009

** CANADA [and non]. CFRX Toronto, back on the 6070 air as of Sept 3 around 0550, again with full modulation and good strength for only 1 kW. Had been off a few weeks for transmitter repairs, first reported by Steve Lare, MI, as reactivated the previous afternoon. No longer Peter Anthony Holder hosting talkshow at this hour, who in the meantime was fired by originating sibling station CJAD, along with a dozen other hosts, but his website is still up: http://www.peteranthonyholder.com/sked.htm

More recently, CFRB also fired several longtime talkhosts. However, at 1310, Bill Carroll was still there, today`s subject ``family stuff``; that was after news on the hour, including gas price currently 97.1 Canadian cents per litre, and Andromeda to collide with Milky Way --- this is news?! Still good at 1355 check; those a bit closer to Toronto can enjoy CFRX all day long.

Here`s the CFRB/X program schedule now:
http://www.cfrb.com/shows/schedule?tab=week
Weeknights at 2-3:30 am = 0600-0730 UT is now The Jim Richards Showgram, obviously playback of part of the weekday 1-3 pm block; several topical hours such as Adventure, Comedy fill the 05-06 UT hour. And Adventure was heard after 0500 Friday Sept 4.

Retuning the MHz dial of the FRG-7 to KFTI 1070 Wichita with BFO on, I could tell the two were not precisely on the same kHz, but very close.

CFRX, 6070, Sept 4 at 1229 with EDT TC, Bill Carroll show, het on hi side and roar from defective Swiss transmitter so kindly sold to North Korea (as discussed in DXLD 9-065); the usual case until its closedown around 1250, whose exact time today I missed, but CFRX in clear at 1257 recheck (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake Sept 4: at 1235 nothing on 8400, very poor on 9000; at 1250 good on 10210; at 1347 poor on 13500, just barely audible on 13970, none others (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. As I tuned by RHC 13680, Sept 3 at 1455, YL was plugging today`s Mesa Redonda transmission at 2230(?) on ``9820 y 6000 kilohertz``. Except the 31m frequency was changed months ago to 9640! In la cabina they haven`t the faintest idea of what frequencies RHC is really using, just read what they were originally told to, and no one takes responsibility for keeping the scripts up-to-date. What a Ratón Miguelito operation.

RHC on 6000, poor thing, gets QRDRM from Australia 5990-5995-6000, now scheduled from Brandon at 12-14, only 5 kW at 10 degrees (to feed PNG or other Pacific island relays??); but also, serves RHC right, from Juche jamming on 6003, which was worse, Sept 4 at 1220, quite a roar and the same sound against 6512 and 6600, all Echo of Hope, which Aoki says on 6003 runs straight thru from 0853 to 2301 UT via Hwaseong, ROK site, 100 kW ND. Aoki does not * these as jammed since that only denotes ChiCom CNR1 or Firedrake-type jamming. Could not hear any EOH on 6003 here while it was audible under the jamming on the other two.

O yeah, at 1220 RHC was engaging its obsession with Honduras. At least they know how to pronounce Zelaya, unlike Daljit Dhaliwal and another anchor I recoiled from recently. Daljit is getting rave reviews as new anchor of World Focus via PBS, much prettier than Martin Savidge, which is debatable. They really piled on the makeup for her début August 31 but seem to have relented somewhat since (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [and non]. Echo of Hope and jamming: see CUBA [and non]

** MADAGASCAR. 17670, dramatic talk in Vietnamese, Sept 3 at 1326, poor signal, but any at all is something, since this hour is AWR 250 kW at 60 degrees from Talata toward Vietnam (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 12160, the out-of-band frequency pioneered by WWCR, now has a new occupant: WEWN, since WWCR-3 abandoned it before 1600 to use 7490 instead.

WEWN English had been on 11530 until Sept 3, and we had to keep complaining about the dirty spurs accompanying it on 11520 and 11540, as well as the leapfrog mixing product with Spanish 11550 landing on 11510. Possibly they got the message and/or some victim broadcaster complained, since suddenly Sept 4 at 1258 we find WEWN on 12160 instead --- and without the spurs!

Have they really been eliminated along with the QSY? This may be coincidental, so further chex of the same transmitter on other frequencies at other times will be needed. Or rather, all three transmitters, as they could have been swapped around, but for now, no spurs either accompanying the Spanish channels. Whatever happened to the fourth transmitter? Is it still in service, even tho only three frequencies are ever used at once? Or a rich source of spare parts?

1259 English ID on 12160 gave the new frequency already; meanwhile, Spanish was still on 11550 and 12050.

The WEWN website frequency schedule http://www.ewtn.com/radio/freq.htm altho still dated effective starting March 29! also has been amended to show 12160 at 12-15, but strangely, each hour`s entry for this frequency only, has next to it a previous hour, ``11, 12, 13``; so does it start at 11 or 12 and does it end at 14 or 15?

Answer: the latter, as still going at 1445 recheck. But at 1459, 12160 was already off, and at 1459:30, came up on 15610, then ID in Spanish! Boy, are they confused; but then switch to English, and at 1501 re-open in English with 15610 announced and program JIP. Could not detect any spurs at 15600 or 15620 on the portable DX-398 in the yard, but fundamental too weak at first to be sure. Normally, later in the day when WYFR is on 15600 at 19-23, it is constantly QRMed by WEWN spur. We shall hear.

Ex-11530 was 335 degrees over the pole to central and eastern China, plus Taiwan and North Korea, so 12160 presumably is too, yet the target for it now is shown as ``SA`` which apparently means South Asia (note: there are too many continents starting with A-, so a second letter in abbrs. is required!)

The full English schedule is apparently now:
00-09 11520 Af
09-12 11640 SEA meaning SE Asia
12-15 12160 SA meaning E Asia
15-17 15610 Eu
17-20 15610 [no target specified! But listed as CIRAF-9 = Maritime
             Provinces and eastern Quebec, really the same 40-degree
             azimuth as before and after]
20-24 15610 ME

Spanish to Cuba/SAm, 155 degrees:
01-11 11870
11-15 12050
15-17 11520
17-01 17510

Spanish to Mexico/CAm, 220 degrees:
05-13  7555
13-22 11550
22-05  5810
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non?]. Sept 4 at 1304 found steady and stable open carrier on 13570; figured it was WINB about to come up on midday frequency, but gone at 1315 recheck, and still nothing at 1347. Could have been VOA tuneup instead as they are wont to do in hour(s) preceding scheduled broadcasts. Did not check during the 14-15 hour, but at 1511, only WINB was there on 13570 with convicted sex criminal evangelist Tony Alamo. Its carrier is still slightly unstable.

VOA English is currently scheduled on 13570: 14-15 via São Tomé, 15-16 via Botswana, 16-17 via Madagascar, all of them colliding with WINB, authorized to start at 14 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6130, TADIL-A beep intruders, Sept 4 at 1225, weak with two unsynchronized signals, so couldn`t sort out the number of beeps from each before the data noise bursts; weak but no sign of Laos (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11789.9, the intruders with SSB 2-way conversation in tonal Asian language was here again Sept 3 at 1337, one of them quite a bit stronger than the other, with annoying vocalized pauses. Apparently a regular schedule, begging for DF detexion and crackdown. But could be offshore (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

AWR in italian B09

As you know, at the end of october, the 25th, we will change the frequency. Like last years we'll use 9610 kHz - 31 meter band starting at 1000 UTC with Studio DX
