Propagation News – 11 December 2016

This past week had been reasonably settled, geomagnetically, with the K-index generally being between zero and three at the beginning of the week. The noon-time critical frequency as measured by the Chilton ionosonde near Harwell on Tuesday was just over 6MHz, which meant 40m often struggled for contacts close in around the UK, but 15 metres was potentially open to DX at times. The critical frequency climbed higher during Tuesday afternoon, which meant that 12 metres may have been open. This also confirms that noon doesn’t always bring the highest critical frequencies. 

We then had a succession of B-class solar flares on Wednesday. A large recurrent coronal hole moved across the Earth-facing side of the sun and became geo-effective from December 7th. 

Enhanced geomagnetic activity, including minor (G1) storm conditions then occurred on Thursday when a high-speed solar wind stream passed Earth. Don’t forget you can get a short pre-event enhancement just as the plasma hits and the K-index rises, but the prognosis for HF is then not good if we get prolonged storming. 

NOAA predicts that the coronal hole effects will diminish after the weekend, leaving a more settled ionosphere for the rest of the week. Conditions may become more unsettled again from around December the 19th. 

So Monday to Saturday next week may be the best times for working DX on the HF bands, but don’t forget to check the low bands for DX during late afternoon and through the hours of darkness as we are at an optimum time as we near the Winter solstice. 

VHF and up propagation news: 

This week sees one of the biggest meteor showers of the year. The peak of the Geminids is expected on Wednesday morning at around 0020UTC, with a zenithal hourly rate of around 120. All the low VHF bands will be affected, with EME-capable stations on 70cm also able to make meteor scatter QSOs. 

There seems to be a common theme in the weather models for the coming week, which is that there is likely to be high pressure nearby to the south and east of Britain, over the continent. A series of low pressure systems will continue to pass by the north-west of the country with cloud, rain and periods of stronger winds. This means that any tropo conditions are likely to be confined to the southern and eastern half of Britain, closer to the high pressure over the continent, which is the direction to look for any tropo DX during the next week. 

The latter part of the week will probably see a stronger development of high pressure over the south of Britain, maintaining the tropo options into the following weekend. 

Low losses and high declination this week make it a good one for EME contacts. E44QX should be QRV on the GHz bands from Jericho until Wednesday.

Glenn Hauser logs December 8-9, 2016


** CHINA. 5979.0, Dec 9 at 0015 and 0042, JBA carrier definitely here, i.e. surely PBS Gannan, Hezuo, which Ron Howard has been hearing in our mornings on 5979 ex-5970. It seemed to me like a mispunch on a keypad, but if so, it has lasted several days now. Aoki shows it`s only 15 kW, ND, alternates Chinese and Tibetan, this segment until 0100 in Chinese. Hezuo is between Xining and Baoji in north central China. (I was of course checking for 5980, R. Chaski, Perú, but no signal from it tonight. In my years of tracing that, never had anything on 5979 before!) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** COSTA RICA. 2859.82, Dec 9 at 0019, JBA carrier. Suspected to be R. San Carlos, 2 x 1430v, as tipped by Tim Tromp in MI the night before:

``For those interested in DXing medium wave harmonics, we have one right now on 2859.8 kHz: Spanish language with a *very* tentative ID caught at 2300 UT TOH that sounded like "Radio San Carlos" (Costa Rica), which would be 1430 x 2. Fair and steady carrier but weak modulation that seems to come and go. Still there at 0017. A quick search of Glenn Hauser posts reveals Radio San Carlos has been reported on 2859.8 in past years. 73, (Tim Tromp, West Michigan, Perseus + D-KAZ aimed due South, Dec 7-8, IRCA via DXLD)``

I had several logs of it in 2009-2010y but not since! At that time it was signing off circa 0200. I scan the 2 MHz band almost every night for harmonix, but none heard in a long time now. Where has this been, and why is it back now? WRTH 2016 shows 3 kW on 1430 from Ciudad Quesada, TIRVDC, at 11-03 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** EAST TURKISTAN [and non]. 5060, 4980, 4850, 4500, Dec 9 at 0024, JBA carriers from the Urumqi Four, except 5060 has a little audio, probably Chinese. Also Sino-Tibetan carriers on 4905, 4800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEWFOUNDLAND. 2598-USB, Dec 9 at 0021, YL voice in English with marine weather, S9 peaks, but noise level is S8. CCG schedule shows starting at 0007 is VCP Placentia, via St John`s transmitter site. Nothing now on 2749-USB from NS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1855 monitoring: confirmed Thu Dec 8 at 2130 on WRMI 13695, excellent. Also confirmed UT Fri Dec 9 at 0030 on WBCQ 9330.08v-CUSB, VP. Next:

** U S A. 7490.02, UT Fri Dec 9 at 0016, WBCQ is again filling with Ramsey`s `Furthermore 29-54` show, mentioning only his original time, Monday 7 pm east-coast-time, and plugging for more time sales on WBCQ. S9+15 on meter but sounds poor and noisy, weakening. 

0031, now it`s James Branum on `Broad Spectrum Radio` talking about his plans for 2017y. Consistency has been a problem, and a big load financially for an individual. Gets some free time on Channel 292 and Unique Radio; says will suspend WINB, but continue with 15 minutes a week on KTLR 890 OKC, which costs $25 each (Fridays 1700 UT); also still on WBCQ for 30 minutes a week, around $20. Will change to approx. monthly hour-long shows on Channel 292, which has been drawing good response from Europe; and Unique Radio, ``best of`` several segments each month. More content is coming, all of which will be online, with selected parts put on air. Total cost per year is about $4K, so needs sponsors, donors, or will have to pare back further. More about this currently on homepage:

He is also developing a mobile app (which I don`t see mentioned on website), shortwave all wave radio tool with lots of features and more being added, branded by his ham call KG5JST, upon which search. Free and pay versions, but those sending reception reports for QSL will get the ad-free pay version. Also plans a special app for BSR itself (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs December 6-7-8, 2016


** ANGOLA. 4949.73, Dec 8 at 0520, RNA with Portuguese talk and music at S7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** AUSTRALIA. 9580, Dec 8 at 1300, the Oklahoma Service (70 degrees from Shepparton) of Radio Australia, with ABC News, leading with dispute between South Australia and federal government over energy policy. 1306 right into YL interviewing some English ballet dancer named Kevin, but no last name, and no program title opening! At ``1300`` [sic] Thursdays is supposed to be `Conversations with Richard Fidler` but Ann Jones is subbing, guest Kevin O`Hare per

12085, Dec 8 at 1400, RA with splatter from 12050 WEWN S9+40, 1405 `All in the Mind` interview about ECPR – emotional heart resuscitation, a guy who fought his own psychosis:
But there is no entry on the RA schedule for ``1400`` London Time Thursday.

In case you still haven`t heard, Radio Australia announced Dec 6 that ABC would CLOSE DOWN SHORTWAVE as of January 31, 2017 (and also the NT Shower Service). We`ve feared this terrible news after severe downsizing a few years ago, and abrupt test outages earlier this year. This has led to a huge amount of discussion, in the DXLD yg and other fora, even IRCA (mediumwave), rounded up for the next DXLD 16-49. Via Mike Cooper, Here`s one place for the official announcement about getting rid of ``outdated technology``:


``The move is in line with the national broadcaster's commitment to dispense with outdated technology and to expand its digital content offerings including DAB+ digital radio, online and mobile services, together with FM services for international audiences`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1855, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 5035.013, Dec 7 at 0648, music and talk in Brazuguese, S9, so R. Aparecida, better on LSB to avoid 5040 Cuba, and // JBA 9630+. Better than on VP 6135.2, and 11855- (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 5964.96, Dec 8 at 0524, music at S8, presumed R. Transmundial, as always reported off to the low side.

6059.76, Dec 8 at 0527 RHC is missing, uncovering S7 signal from algo, still in clear at 0551, presumed SRDA Curitiba. Brazilians must be off-frequency, nothing else likely (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** CUBA. 6060, Dec 8 at 0527, RHC English is AWOL, uncovering presumed Brasil, q.v. Still on 6165, 6100, 6000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ERITREA. 7146v, 7175/7180/7185, Dec 6 at 0412, no VOBMEs audible, not even carriers, whilst 7205 Sudan and 7120 Somaliland are audible. Sure wish we had a definite schedule for VOBME, but apparently irregular, and wonder if they will vanish again from 40 meters? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 9526.049, Dec 8 at 1246, JBA carrier from VOI, reactivated Dec 5 after several days off, slightly new frequency, ex 9525.9v, so is this a different transmitter? Certainly no better than the old one as far as being too weak, and undermodulated? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** KOREA NORTH. 6003, Dec 8 at 0712, noise jamming already audible, covering Echo of Hope; 6015, Dec 8 at 0712, same noise jamming level here vs KBS-1. These are also a bane much later around sunrise here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MADAGASCAR. 17640, Dec 7 at 1856, tune in just in time for a few notes of music before open carrier and off 1856.6*, i.e. MWV English APR from 1800 is active today. Also on with S9+10 choral music at 2043 check, the other English broadcast from 2000. You never know from one day to the next whether these will appear. Dec 8: made it again, S9+20 at 1853 on 17640 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 4875.0, Dec 7 at 0221, VP signal from [Station YHWH], weaker than het from Brasil 4875.1; tnx tip from Bob LaRose in CA. At least AF MARS is not using 4875-USB at the moment. Joshua`s frequency selexions on 60m are not so good. He`s also tried 4960 and 4920 lately. 

4865.0, Dec 8 at 0402, [Station YHWH] is JBA here now, tnx tips from Tim Tromp and Andy Robins in MI in the previous hour. And also heard by Ron Howard in CA who says he was still on at 0410 but unreadable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1855, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1210, Dec 8 at 0546 UT, KGYN Guymon with C&W tune, tear-in-beer, NOT Xmasmx, despite appearing on a list of stations going all-Xmas, originating in NRC DX News and quoted by Steve Whitt, UK in the MWCircle yg. Of course, *some* Xmasmx could be playing but not all-out. And also KGYN is obviously still violating its requirement to protect Philadelphia at night. Recheck at 1321 UT, ``Today`s Country 1210 KGYN`` ID, after 9-degree-F temp check [official low was 2; now 20 in Enid] (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OMAN [and non]. 15140, Dec 8 at 1516, S9+10 open carrier, really too strong for RSO, but makes a slight SAH with JBA talk underneath, which is presumably RSO in Arabic. Nothing else scheduled now; possibly CUBA which does not start programming on 15140 until 1800, or an IBB GB test, or who knows? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, Dec 7 at 0645, JBA carrier, presumed SIBC already propagating (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY [and non]. 12035.039, Dec 8 at 1338, S9, VOT press review about oil prices, in the clear, since 12050 WEWN splatterer is OFF! 1342 on to `Turkey`s Cultural Centers` about Lake Van in eastern Turkey. It may be scenic, but the largest lake in the country per Britannica.com is brackish and no good for drinking or irrigation. By 1359, WEWN is on at S9+40, splattering upon Turkish music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 7460, Dec 6 at 0411, S9+10 in unrecognized language, but scheduled is VOA in Kinyarwanda via BOTSWANA. I was bandscanning for YHWH but ran across this (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1854 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday December 6 at 0030 on WBCQ, 9330.107v-CUSB, poor; also confirmed on WRMI, 7730, good. Also confirmed Tue Dec 6 at 2130 on WRMI, 15770, good. Richard Lemke in Alberta caught WOR at a new time on WRMI, 9955, Tue Dec 6 at 2300. It`s now been added to their and our schedules. Also confirmed UT Wed Dec 7 after 0030 on WBCQ, 9330.084v-CUSB, JBA. Also confirmed Wed Dec 7 at 1438, the 1415.5 on WRMI 9955, S9 with no jamming, but ACI from stronger S9+20 9960, which is Furusato no Kaze via Palau from 1430. Also confirmed Wed Dec 7 at 2200 on WBCQ, 7490.04. Also confirmed UT Thu Dec 8 at 0030 on WBCQ, 9330.070v-CUSB, poor.

WORLD OF RADIO 1855 monitoring: confirmed first SW airing Thursday December 8 at 1230 on WRMI, 9955, S9 atop pulse jamming, but ACI from 9950, which I figured would also be Furusato no Kaze, but that doesn`t start until 1300 via Taiwan. Now at 1215-1315 on 9950 it`s AIR 500 kW, 60 degrees from Bengaluru in Burmese. By 1257, WORMI has improved to S9+20, further atop continuing Cuban pulse jamming; Tnx a lot, Arnie! Next:

Full schedule on all media:
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5850 // 7730, Tue Dec 6 at 0721, `World Music` on WRMI. Full hour is now scheduled as such on 7730, Tue/Wed/Thu only, but several times we`ve heard `Viva Miami` at 0700-0715 including on a Friday. But now also shows `Media Network Plus` Fri 0700-0800 on 7730, new time. In no case, except Sundays, is 5850 shown as simulcasting 7730.

7780, BTW continues to AWOL at frequent nighttime chex, such as Dec 8 at 0533. It`s still on the WRMI skedgrid for 22-12 UT, nothing but BS, and same 44-degree XMTR #3 at 12-22 UT on 15770, which IS still active, also nothing but BS except 21-22 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17775; re my continuing obs that Mondays at 1500, Frecuencia al Dia has appearing instead of Antena DX as on the KVOH schedule, still dated August, Ray Robinson replies:

``Hi, Glenn. Antena DX used to be produced by Víctor Gutiérrez in Panamá. However, it went on summer break in July, and never came back in August. The last I heard from Víctor, he said his mixing console was damaged and he had no money to repair or replace it. So, for the last few months, KVOH has been carrying Frecuencia al Día on both Fridays and Mondays. If Antena DX ever returns, we will be happy to carry it again``

Well, `Antena DX` is still on the WRMI schedule several times, so are they replaying last show from June, or really something else?

Axually WRMI has an `Antena DX` audiofile dated Dec 4. Also on the TGAV and WBCQ SW schedules. This page explains the situation, that old shows are being reissued until he can produce new ones again:
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5830, Dec 6 at 0722, WTWW-1 SFAW modulation is breaking up; wiggle that patchcord! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 12050, Dec 8 at 1338-1342, WEWN`s dirty Spanish transmitter is off, uncovering a JBA carrier, presumably RFA Tibetan via KUWAIT, scheduled this hour only (and/or ChiCom jamming). This is great for 12035 Voice of Turkey, and 12085 Radio Australia [qq.vv.], but by 1359, WEWN is back on, causing its usual damage from S9+40 fundamental (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9275.039, Dec 8 at 1854, S9+10 carrier is on! Must be reactivated WMLK, but JBM, not even enough to recognize the intonations of DEJOM, but who else could it be? Have been tuning for it almost daily around this hour.

Time for another check of their FB and website for an update. BTW, I see their address in Bethel PA is 190 Frantz Road, presumably not in honor of Dave at WWRB.

``WMLK Radio December 5 at 8:47am ·

I have been holding back in updating those who are interested and concerned with the outreach and status of WMLK Radio. The Engineer returned today 12/05/16. He was on an overseas mission and returned stateside on 11/14/16. He was scheduled to return on 11/20/16 to begin upgrading and repair of the TX. However, he was in a very terrible accident on the Friday (11/18/16) before his scheduled return. Stopped at a red light he was hit from behind by a car at a very high rate of speed. He was pushed into the car ahead of him, thus totaling his car. By the grace of Almighty Yahweh he was unhurt but his car/conveyance was completely destroyed. The Doctors wanted to keep him close and under observation for a week plus to see if there would be any residual effects from the accident!

He was cleared to return but he had to be flown up here instead of his usual car trip. First no car, second to avoid fatigue until completely rested from the accident, so the best choice that satisfies the doctors and family was to fly him here! He is working as this update is being written! Praise Almighty Yahweh for His mercy and loving kindness! Thank you for your patience!``

``WMLK radio update and progress report 
[undated, and apparently predates the above info]

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have been having trouble getting the radio station online. Many hidden problems have been revealed during the past two visits of our start-up engineer. It appeared that something is continually shorting out the TX and causing it to trip the overload protection. These overloads disengage the set when high voltage is applied, if there is a fault in the system. We discovered that many components inside the set were shorting the set to ground. These components were discovered by using sophisticated equipment and a closer observation. The set contains a Crowbar protection system and it is extremely sensitive to any kind of ground faults. This system protects the tubes from being damaged should a problem arise in the electrical system. The components that were shorting the set to ground, included air ducks [sic], the glass cooling tube used in the vapor cooling system, and assorted devices that are not non-conductive in electrical properties. Carbon traces were observed on these components.

DSC00363.JPG Pic. 1. This is a non-conductive PVC unit. This where the air cooling duct plugs in. Notice the arcing traces.

DSC00359.JPG Pic. 2. This is the Pyrex steam riser tube, notice the damage and tracing on it. This glass steam riser was completely repaired, and one-half of the Pyrex was replaced in the repair process.

DSC00357.JPG Pic. 3. This is the four inch air duct that supplies air for cooling the capacitors and assorted parts. Notice the tracing on the end and the physical damage from arc tracing. This is the PVC unit in the first picture before removal from air duct. This air duct, along with others, were replaced.

Pic. 4. These are the components that were sent in for repair. Three Circuit Boards and the Sine Wave Generator (large unit next to CBs).

The last two visits yielded these problems, and since then they have been corrected. We have also added a water filtering purification system to make sure the water that is going into cooling the tubes is the highest quality possible. We have one more process to add to this system to ensure this rigorous standard. We have overhauled many of the circuit cards by either rebuilding them or replacing them since we began repair and reconstruction of this set. We reconfigured and rewired many of the problems that we found. Several cards were sent to be repaired by a professional organization. 

Because of problems with our engineer’s health, he was ordered to take a three month leave of absence which will be monitored by a physician. Two years ago, during first week of November, he suffered a seizure which also involved a blood clot in the brain that gave him a mild stroke. He was put on a six-month medical leave of absence from his work place so he could recuperate from this incident. He has been working for WMLK during his employment with Voice of America whenever time permitted him to come to WMLK. He retired this year from his employment and comes to WMLK when he can arrange it in his schedule. Recently, his doctor put him on another three month leave of absence to make adjustments in his medications and give him the rest that he needs to recuperate his health even further.

Our Start-Up Engineer has commissioned (put into service) five of these type units. He is dedicated to putting this station on the air. He will advise me during him absence via telephone and messenger service. We are dedicated to placing this station on the air.

In 1981 we started obtaining information to begin broadcasting the AOY [Assemblies of Yahweh] message to the entire earth in a broader range. It was decided that shortwave radio would and could fulfill Matthew 24:14 and Revelation 14:6. We began this project at the end of 1981 and the station was placed on the air in the spring of 1985. It took hard work and good support from the brethren and co-workers of the AOY to make this project a reality. The current set, as it stands, has been completed and is ready to be energized. When the repaired parts (Yahweh Willing) are fixed and returned this should become a reality. Remember all things are done according to His will and time frame. We must be patient! Thank you for your prayers and support, financially and through your verbal and written encouragements! Yahweh bless all of you! Deacon Mac``

Names of the persons referred to are not to be found, except Deacon Mac is evidently in the Contact page: Station Manager/OE Gary A. McAvin.

It`s rather ironic that another Yahweh fan, ``Joshua`` all by himself in a desert, manages to get on the air while WMLK cannot. I would dearly love to witness a head-to-head debate between him and DEJOM, but hardly feasible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
