Glenn Hauser logs August 3-4-5, 2015


** ARGENTINA. 11710.65, Aug 5 at 0144, RAE poor with Japanese intonation, lite crackling centered circa 11714 from RNA 11780 spur (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11814, August 3 at 0516, the spurcrap out of 11780 RNA/RNB has developed a new sound, in addition to the ``crackle``: now there is also more readable modulation/squealing at peaks; atop 11815 RBC, and same appearing circa 11746, 11712, and barely 11678, i.e. ~34 kHz intervals. 

11813, August 4 at 0142, same enhanced spursound allows closer estimation of center frequency, way over 11825 RBC carrier; also circa 11747, and litely circa 11714 vs ARGENTINA, q.v., ~33 kHz intervals (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 17730, August 4 at 2011 check, no signal from RHC in Portuguese, which is currently scheduled 1930-2300, but no English. When on, one of the few big signals on 16m (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 12070, August 5 at 0140, R. Cairo, Spanish is S9, but totally dead air.

11935, August 5 at 0140, R. Cairo is S9+25 here, suptorted to JBM presumed Spanish

9315, August 5 at 0140, R. Cairo, S9+20 Spanish, but open carrier/dead air (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 9935, August 5 at 0139, VOG with usual big whinebuzz atop the music it`s trying to modulate, successfully on 9420 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1210, August 3 at 0606 UT, KGYN Guymon is inbooming, VG with weather and ID, country music. Must not be on night pattern, supposed to null toward Cleveland; also noticed this the night before.

Make that null toward Philadelphia! (However, KGYN was originally a daytimer on 1220 until it made the Big Time in the clear-channel breakup.) Same VG signal with C&W music almost 24 hours later, August 4 at 0531 check (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1680, went out listening for the Talking House in NE Enid afternoon of August 4, but no signal where I was hearing it a few days ago. Realtor never replied to my webform inquiry about its address, which may have served instead to remind him to turn it off; as previously these things were forgotten, left running after property was no longer on the market (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 29, August 4 at 0050 UT, KTUZ is OFF, so no Telemundo on virtual 30, no Estrella on virtual 48, and no Univisión on virtual 36; but they are all back by 0104. In case anyone was fooled that these are not really out of a single Tyler Media transmitter licensed to Shawnee (hardly Hispanic), this joint outage might have unfooled them. 

BTW, 48-1 PSIP ID is KUOK-CD, but on-screen IDs are quite different as KOCY 48.1 Oklahoma City. Estrella specializes in busty girls jumping around and rather graphic virility-enhancement ads, more so than you see on Anglo TV (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SRI LANKA. 11905, August 3 at 0115 [not 0116 typo in original report], SLBC prélude is underway at poor S3-4 level with flutter, and 2+1 mistimesignal ending at 0115:17 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5830 & 9475, August 4 at 1251, no signal on either WTWW-1 frequency; yet propagation from TN is VG for neighbors on 9980, 9370.

BTW, Mark Sills heard Ted Randall attacking me on the air after coming back from another outage which I missed. Hey Ted, I`m merely the messenger. You screw up, on a Worldwide broadcast, can`t expect it to go unnoticed. At least you`re no Voice of Greece or Radio Cairo, which also get noticed. Anomalies are newsworthy, ordinary operations not so much (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1190, August 4 at 0540 UT, rather rude political screed about a candidate nicknamed ``blow-job``, loops ENE/WSW, but it`s local mentioning Cahokia, i.e. IL side of St Louis. VG signal at first, so suspect day facility of KQQZ, COL DeSoto MO, but address in Belleville IL (and CP to be Fairview Heights IL) --- of course it must be, 10 kW day, direxional toward southwest, 22 watts night! In the ``hot talk`` aspect of its Jekyll/Hyde personality (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Euro Radio 6205 update

An update has been posted on Facebook - "There has been a delay in our commencment (sic)  of broadcasting due to the fact that the company (in Greece)providing some of our transmitter equipment going out of business. We are having the equipment custom built by another company and will be on as soon as posible (sic)."

G.A.B. (Gruppo Ascolto Bergamasco) amarcord

Girovagando in rete ho trovato questo link dove viene ricordato il famoso G.A.B. (Gruppo Ascolto Bergamasco) che fu fondato dal mitico Pierino Cacciamatta, che io ebbi la fortuna di conoscere ed apprezzare, per la sua caparbietà nel divulgare e coinvolgere (a quel tempo) noi giovani appassionati di radioascolto.
Un plauso a Luca (che non so chi sia) per l'idea nel ricordare questo storico gruppo.

Monitoring Radio Cairo webcasts


preliminary results of a monitoring project concerning http://www.egradio.eg

The official web site of ERTU also provides audio streams of Arabic and foreign language programmes. Three of them, named Persian, Swahili and English, seem to promise streams in those languages but it is more complicated.

1. External Services in English and other languages
http://www.egradio.eg/radio.php?PubPnt=English&ChnName=13 (English) did not carry any signal at any time checked, not even the 1 kHz test tone.

(Swahili) and
(Persian) seem to be in parallel and carry a number of foreign language services, including English at 0200-0330 and 1215-1330. KiSwahili is carried 0400-0600 and 1600-1800, Persian at 1330-1530. Exact times for Hausa (1800-[2100]), Portuguese ([2215-]-2330) and Arabic (2330-) are yet to be established. In between some broadcasts and especially the hours until noon UTC you will only hear a 1 kHz test tone.

2. Domestic Services in English, French and other languages
Domestic programmes in English (but including a BBC News Hour) and French are found at 
 
While on 3 August much of the chat in both languages was not political, there was a programme in English taking telephone calls on topics brought up by the moderator. There was some controversial comment on the recent political history of Egypt, that the moderator tried to calm down, while comments on the destitute situation of the Egyptian education systems went out uninterrupted.

On 3 August the BBC Newshour had a very critical report on the Egyptian Government’s crack down on suspected dissidents, but the programme was not interrupted. 

The lyrics of some of the English songs were very explicit, some thing you would not expect on a state broadcaster of a state fighting against Muslim extremism. While the West seems to think of itself as „developed world“, from the viewpoint of its critics it is not „civilised“. It is with great interest that I heard a new expression for the West used in a Buddhist talk: „advantaged world“.

European languages are also heard at 

Taken the broadcasts of 3 August, the German domestic programme found here at 1200-1300 and the German shortwave programme at 1900-2000 on 9665 kHz are produced independently although the domestic programme could have been used as external service (Dr. Hansjoerg Biener, Germany, August 4, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 27 July - 02 August 2015

Solar activity was dominated by B-class flare activity (very low
levels) throughout the majority of the summary period, however,
Region 2390 (S17, L=199, class/area=Dai/170 on 27 Jul) produced a
single C1 flare (low levels) at 01/2005 UTC, which was the largest
event of the period. No Earth-directed coronal mass ejections (CMEs)
were observed during the summary period.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at
normal levels on 31 Aug with moderate levels observed throughout the
remainder of the summary period.

Geomagnetic field activity reached active levels on 27, 30-31 Jul
and 02 Aug in response to an enhanced solar wind environment caused
by the influence of multiple weak coronal hole high speed streams
(CH HSSs). Geomagnetic field activity remained at quiet to unsettled
levels throughout the remainder of the summary period.

FORECAST OF SOLAR AND GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY 03 AUGUST - 29 AUGUST 2015

Solar activity is expected to be at very low (B-class flare
activity) to low levels (C-class flare activity) throughout the
outlook period.

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is
expected to be at moderate levels on 07-08, 17-21, 23, and 26-29 Aug
in response to enhanced geomagnetic field activity cause by the
influence of multiple recurrent coronal hole high speed streams (CH
HSSs). High electron flux levels are expected for the remainder of
the outlook period.

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to reach G1 (Minor)
geomagnetic storm levels on 28 Aug with active levels expected on
06-07, 17, 20, 26-27, and 29 Aug, all due to the influence of
multiple recurrent CH HSSs. The geomagnetic field is expected to be
at quiet to unsettled levels throughout the remainder of the outlook
period.
