Glenn Hauser logs December 19-20, 2010

** AUSTRALIA. Check 120m almost every morning, but nothing from the VL8s has made it here vs the high noise level for several weeks. Dec 20 at 1337, I am hearing music with a YL singer on 2325. Only a weaker carrier on 2485, and unseemed any signal on 2310 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 15190, Dec 19 at 2234, poor signal with Brazilian music, so must be R. Inconfidência; possibly second carrier, but R. Africa normally dominates if on, so perhaps was off earlier on this Sunday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [and non]. CNR1 jamming, with echo, on several frequencies Dec 20: at 1438 on 9785 big clash with VOA Chinese via Tinang, PHILIPPINES. Same thing on 9825 but not as strong.

At 1521 on 7540, BBC Mandarin via THAILAND is getting the same treatment, ditto on 9605 via SINGAPORE. Also // CNR1 jamming on 9450 vs Sound of Hope (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. RHC, Sunday Dec 19 at 1946 found to be in French on both 11760 and 11770, Spanish on 11730, absent from 11690, 12040. Meanwhile, ``Aló, Presidente`` was still consuming three transmitters; see VENEZUELA [non]. 11760 is supposed to be in Spanish until 2000, then English, and no French until 2100, per http://www.radiohc.cu/espanol/c_frecuencia/frecuencias.htm
At 2125 check, 11760 was again in French, while 11770 and 11730 were Spanish.

Esperanto was missing from Sunday 1500 on 11760, instead Spanish. One schedule version claimed Esperanto would also be on 11760 Sundays at 2100, but not. Another says at 2230 on 15370, but that too was in French Dec 19 at 2233, very strong signal but the lo-fi feed/transmitter, very clipped audio. At this time, 11770 Spanish, 11760 off, during this hour on 11670 instead with RNV relay.

Apparently the Esperanto service is sporadic, despite the big deal of the World Esperanto Congress in Havano, Kubo last summer. Or maybe the programs are produced but get lost before airing in the confusion of Sunday schedule variations.

This Sunday, Portugal was not on 12040 at earlier check 1946, but is on at 2121 with very strong signal, hard to tell if Cuba is now underneath (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FRANCE [non]. Conosuristas were wondering what became of RFI, since a B-10 Spanish schedule can`t be found on their website, so I extracted the schedule registered in HFCC, all via GUIANA FRENCH:

1000-1030 7375, 9825
1200-1230 15515
2100-2130 17630
0100-0130 5995

If at all possible I will be snoozing at 1000. I couldn`t hear 15515 on Dec 19 before 1230, but the band was still dead. Missed checking at 2100, intend to later. But at 0125 Dec 20, discussion of sports was in progress until 0129*, so I am confident RFI is still broadcasting in Spanish on SW; subject as always, of course, to disruptions by strikes, when music will fill (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 7475, Dec 20 at 0629, VOG fair with talk in Greek instead of classical music fill, so apparently the strike is over, for now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUAM. 5765-USB, AFN, Dec 20 at 1331, news/talk about Korea, so apparently back to original format at the moment (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDIA. 9690, AIR GOS Dec 20 with enjoyable music before 1400 and after 1415; also 1437 giving schedule of other English broadcasts during Faithfully Yours mailbag with M&W. Better signal than usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MOROCCO. 15345+, Dec 20 at 1515, undermodulated Arabic with hum, so RTM made the change from 15341.1v today around 1500, and is all set to heterodyne Argentina later in the day (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND. 5950, checking whether RNZI Mailbox is on this week, Monday Dec 20 at 1332, but no, it`s some other show about a discovery program for children. The alternate-week appearance was scheduled next for Dec 27, but checking the website: ``Mailbox is on holiday and returns Monday 24 January 2011``.

Meanwhile, audio of the last two programs remains available, dated Nov 28 and Dec 12. ``DX report`` feature in both is from Kevin Hand, ZL4QD, about receiving weather fax. Also mentioned http://brogers.dsl.pipex.com for link to Mystery Signals of Shortwave, then linx to new ENIGMA newsletter about numbers stations.

Adrian Sainsbury was away again on a holiday, this time to Sydney, so no propagation report Nov 28, but he had returned for Dec 12 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA [non]. 17485, Monday Dec 20 at 1400, VP signal with musical drumming, Hamada Radio mentioned in opening of M/W/F 1400-1430 transmission via Wertachtal, GERMANY (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 3431, The Crystal Ship notified us of a test on this frequency Dec 20 from about 0050. At 0055 could only hear a trace of a carrier; a little better with music? 0231 but still unreadable (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA. 5975, Dec 20 at 0221, poor signal in French with strange accent. Figured in might be RRI, and that chex for 02-03 on 5975, 310 degrees from Galbeni to ENAm (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11785, Dec 20 at 1508 ``Saudi buzz`` is back, no modulation audible. Meanwhile 15435, which used to have the same big buzz, remains clear of it but today only a JBA signal there. The closest we can come to finding this listed is in Aoki:
11785 R. RIYADH 0955-1355 1234567 Arabic 500 100 Riyadh ARS 04623E 2430N BSKSA a10 Holy Qur`an (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7506, WRNO still absent Dec 20 at 0223 check. Bill Patalon III in Baltimore got a reply from them Dec 14 that they were trying to locate the problem with the transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WRMI, 9955, has a new schedule grid as of Dec 17, replacing the suspended R. República blox and making several other changes. WORLD OF RADIO has a new time, Monday 1230 replacing Tuesday 2330. See
https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AivhtkIEGb3_dENObnZrMkt1YmtUWGxkbkd3TGNzOXc&hl=en
All the changes concerning DX programs in English have been made on the latest update of
http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html
and additional programming changes are in
http://www.worldofradio.com/calendar.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VENEZUELA [non]. As in previous report under CUBA, ``Aló, Presidente`` was underway Sunday Dec 19 at 1613 on 17750, 13750 and 15370, but only RHC itself on the other two listed frequencies, 13680 and 11690. Recheck at 1946 found El Hugazo still pontificating on the three, but now 15370 is very poor, compared to adjacent RCI on 15365. Furthermore, the regular Radio Nacional de Venezuela service via CUBA at 19-20 is also running separately on 15290, VG signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 17461, strong open carrier Dec 20 at 1446, amid the ear-piercing multi-carrier whines peaking around 17450, and audible from 17420 to 17480, also a trace of same pitch on 17695. What, o what is this? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Glenn Hauser logs December 18-19, 2010

** CUBA. Haven`t heard RHC`s Esperanto service for some weeks, so try again Dec 19: Prime airing is supposedly Sundays 1500-1530 on 11760 --- no, stays in Spanish past 1514 with Filatelia show // all the other RHC frequencies, 11690, 11730, 13680 with CCI, 13750, 15370, 17750.

As usual on Sunday mornings, 12040 is not on the air, never specified as such on the schedules. That transmitter must be one needed for one of the Sunday-only frequencies for ``Aló, Presidente`` (or not), such as 15370 or 17750. No sign of A,P, yet, however, nor at 1548 when I noticed that 17750 audio was rather suppressed, still RHC // others.

Since RHC Spanish programs have all moved one UT hour later this winter, unlike previously, maybe Esperanto has also been moved one hour later, to 1600? I check all the frequencies again at 1614: Esperanto on none of them.

But now El Hugazo has taken over some of the channels, 17750, 15370 and 13750, but not the other two scheduled, which remain with RHC mainstream, 13680 and 11690, // 11760 and 11730.

Let`s have another look at the schedules on the RHC website Dec 19, as always presented in the confusing format you have to unravel. I have at least removed the meter bands:

The main one presented in Spanish:
ESPERANTO (domingo)
San Francisco              6010 07-07:30 UTC
Norte Centro y Suramérica 11760/15370 15–15:30/22:30-23 UTC

The one on the Esperanto-language page itself is totally outdated:
ESPERANTO (DIMANCO)
América del Norte 6000 07-07:30 UTC
Norte Centro y Suramérica 11760/5965 15–15:30/ 19:30–20/ 23:30-00 UTC
América Central 6120 23:30 -00 UTC
Buenos Aires 9600 23:30 -00

Esperanto also failed to appear on 15370 at 2230 on some initial B-10 chex but have not tried it past few Sundays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also NETHERLANDS [non]

** MEXICO. 1570, XERF, Dec 19 at 0605 anthem by male soloist with orchestra, but not the Mexican NA, 0606 into Spanish conversation. Maybe the Coahuila state anthem plays after the NA at 0600? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NETHERLANDS [non]. 9810 via BONAIRE, RNW Spanish, Sunday Dec 19 at 1210 in ``Cartas @ RN`` program, devoting quite a bit of time to replying to a Cuban listener who keeps writing them, using registered mail, and via the Netherlands embassy in Habana, to complain that RN is deliberately not covering the story of Cuban doctors aiding Haitian earthquake victims.

RN says they have covered this story, plus Cuban doctors in Venezuela and Bolivia, and treats Cuba even-handedly, positives and negatives. They have tried to interview some of the doctors but the médicos have to get permission from the Cuban government to speak to foreign media, which has always been denied.

Another subject was about the future of RN: sidestepped the issue of whether SW broadcasts would continue, in Spanish, under new funding scheme, but teased with several major topix they plan to cover in 2011y (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 1521, quite a het to KOKC 1520, Dec 18 around 2345, and still but weaker at next check Dec 19 around 0145 on caradio. Presumed BSKSA 2-megawatter at Duba in the NW corner, the prime alert for trans-Atlantic MW openings. Pulling any audio separate from 1520 is another matter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 9955, WRMI with WORLD OF RADIO 1543, Sunday Dec 19 at 1654 check, fair signal and free of jamming --- oh, oh, at 1655 pulsing hits just as we are wishing Bob Zanotti a happy birthday #65. But it`s minor compared to the wall of noise gushing on 9965 against presumed and totally untraced R. República. No excuse for jamming 9955 at all, as there is nothing in Spanish or of an exile nature on WRMI any day of the week between 1630 and 2130. Today YFR in Russian via Taiwan on 9955v was not a problem.

Further repeats of WOR 1543 on WRMI: Sunday 1830, Tuesday 1630, 2330, Wednesday 0130. Also on WBCQ 7415, Tuesday, Wednesday 2000, maybe Thursday too (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 3160, WPJK, Orangeburg SC, 2 x 1580, Dec 19 *1233:45 UT S9+18 carrier on, 1234 sign-on and into Xmas music, no Q-toots this Sunday. BTW, I have included my recording of a previous sign-on toward the end of this week`s WORLD OF RADIO 1543 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15434, that tantalizing carrier hetting 15435 RVA Urdu via VATICAN, is back Dec 19 at 1454. Aoki still does not show suspected V. of Tibet resumed in this area (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

** GREECE. 7475, VOG, Dec 18 at 0600 classical music, pause, no hourtop ID or any announcement, more classical. The strike continues preventing normal programming from airing, but I must say I approve of their substitute.

John Babbis, Maryland, VOG`s #1 monitor abroad, explained on Dec 17: ``Glenn: I think that this is the Mother of all Greek strikes and is slated to last all week. I am sure that everybody at ERA5 has walked out, leaving the Managers to hire strike-breakers with their albums of American music, etc. The radio employees are also hired by the state.
 
On November 30, journalists staged a nationwide strike to protest wage cuts and layoffs. Last week public transport workers struck, leading to the network grinding to a halt in Athens. This week refuse workers, air traffic controllers, bank staff, state-television employees and rail workers are scheduled to strike in separate disputes`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUATEMALA. 4052.5-, R. Verdad, Dec 18 at 0556 very poor with talk, intonation sounds English as nominal during final hour of transmission. Dr Madrid continues to have problems with the transmitter, so operation is intermittent and underpowered as he gets advice from Engr. Rafael Borthwick in Canada (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MAURITANIA. 7245, ORTM chanting, poor Dec 18 at 0616, squeezed by English on both sides, from DW and Vatican (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MOROCCO. 15341.1, RTVM in Arabic with hum but no het, Dec 18 at 1605. The usual shift from 15341.1 to 15345 circa 1500 did not take place today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PHILIPPINES [non]. 15350, Dec 18 just as I tune in at 1504, transmitter cuts off the air. Back on at *1505 talk with heavy echo which I think is self-imposed rather than LP/SP, since bits of children singing do not have the echo. This is R. Veritas Asia, Filipino/Tagalog service relayed by VATICAN back to the ME (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN [non]. 5965, REE via COSTA RICA, Dec 18 at 0606 opening ``Amigos de la Onda Corta``, soon into ``noticias DX`` most of which have nothing to do with shortwave frequencies, logs or schedules, such as some item about Pope Paul VI. Ironic, as once again has major QRM from Vatican in English on 5965. The 25m //s from REE are not propagating here, nor are they intended to. What a pity that REE and VR insist on colliding as they have for years (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SUDAN [non]. 17745, Dec 18 at 1609-1615+ hilife music, good from Sudan Radio Service, currently scheduled 1500-1700 daily, 250 kW, 114 degrees via Sines, PORTUGAL (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15825, Dec 18 at 1606, WWCR has a good S9+22 signal with some fading, indicating that winter sporadic E is in play. Without it, at only one megameter, 15 MHz is mostly in skip zone. Then I check
http://www.vhfdx.info/spots/map.php?Lan=E&Frec=50&Map=NA
and find several 50 MHz ham contacts are underway in the eastern half of the USA. Might make it up into lowband TV or even FM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WWCR`s DX Block is being dropped on Saturday evenings for lack of sponsorship, so from first Sat of Jan 2011, the program which had been following it expands to two hours, as has been wanting to do for some time. The DX programs will be moved elsewhere, but not in one tidy block. Solely an economic move, for no other reason, says Dr Jerry Plummer (Ask WWCR Dec 10, notes by gh for DX LISTENING DIGEST)

So that`s how we find out that one of our most listened-to WORLD OF RADIO airings is going away, 0330 UT Sundays on 4840; as it already did once earlier in Dec, perhaps as an experiment. 0315 has been the only airing of DX Partyline on WWCR. No word yet on what times, if any will replace WOR at 0330 or DXPL at 0315. Meanwhile, the Sat 1700 airing of WOR 1543 confirmed Dec 18 on 12160; and Friday 2030 on 7465 was also very good (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1320, checking out the low het I am getting against KCLI Clinton OK indicating the other station is off-frequency: Dec 17 at 1827 UT, 5 minutes before low noon, I try the DX-398 in the yard. With KCLI nulled, and BFO I do hear a different-pitched carrier and much weaker.

This makes KWHN Fort Smith AR most likely as the source, since KLWN in Lawrence KS is close to opposite from KCLI and would not be audible in KCLI null; further, KLWN is only 500 watts, and KWHN is 5000. Both are non-direxional in daytime (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Glenn Hauser logs December 15-17, 2010

** ANTARCTICA. If LRA36 appear again on 15476, I will certainly report it, but for the record, still absent at the end of a fifth week, Friday Dec 16 at 1444 no trace of a signal.

It might be a good idea to seek its unique frequency at other dayparts, in case they have changed schedule again without telling us. Before M-F 12-15, it was M-F 18-21 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. Strike at Voice of Greece has led to their playing nothing but continuous music, no announcements that I have ever heard, and it`s not the usual Greek music, but mostly classical. Others have reported jazz. This was first noted here around 0630 on 7475 and 1430 on 9420 Dec 15 with classical; thought it rather strange.

Also still the case Dec 17 at 0634 with a violin concerto, good on 7475 and 9420, 0636 segué to a Hungarian Dance on violin and piano. At 1433, 9420 had good signal strength but fluttery, now with Broadway music, 1435 no announcement, on to Bernstein; only poor on // 15650 at 1443. John Babbis sends a story from Xinhua:

Violence again erupts during general strike in Athens (2)
09:01, December 16, 2010 [including:]

``Local television and radio channels, Internet news outlets, and the national news agency also did not broadcast news as journalists joined the strike along with taxi drivers and lawyers`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. Altho not reported recently I should reaffirm that Enid`s GCN pirate on 99.9 remains quite active, tho occasionally missing, especially weekends.

And the Part 15 ``WECS`` 97.7 at Emmanuel Christian School continues with kidloops ranging a few blox, changed each week tho they may miss some updates over the holidays (Glenn Hauser, OK, Dec 17, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9330-CUSB, WBCQ with some GFRN program Dec 17 at 1454 talking about pixels, and a ``strategic preparedness conference`` in Cœur d`Alène, Idaho, survivalist central. Noted because there was rather bothersome RTTY QRM from circa 9328. If it`s a US source, could force WBCQ off, but in other cases, RTTY does not seem to care about broadcast QRM in bandedges (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7415, WBCQ, Thursday Dec 16 after 2000 with WORLD OF RADIO, just barely audible here and it`s last week`s 1542 instead of latest 1543, which was available some 16 hours earlier, so WBCQ listeners won`t hear it until next Tuesday at 2000, we hope.

Meanwhile, WBCQ has an ``Available Time Slot`` Thursdays at 2200-2415 UT. I checked to hear what they were filling it with, and found they had turned off the transmitter, and the webcast was running silently until 0014 Dec 17 IS & ID, 0015 Amos `n` Andy.

WOR 1543, confirmed via WWRB 3185, UT Friday Dec 17 from 0432 after a minute or more of silence; also on WRMI 9955, Friday 1530+ without jamming, making overload from WWCR 9980 more of a problem here.

WWCR airings are: Fri 2130 7465, Sat 1700 12160, UT Sun 0330 4840, 0730 3215.

WOR via ACB Radio Mainstream was confirmed last week on some even-UT hours Friday thru 0030 UT Saturday, but this week all the streams are down, Dec 17 thru 1600 at least; http://www.acbradio.org/mainstream (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 600, Dec 16 at 1803 UT, one semihour before low noon, weak signal on caradio inside Enid with Fox `News` Radio, 1805 ``WMT News Crew [Group?] Update``. This station normally does not quite make it by daytime groundwave, altho I can sometimes get a very weak SAH. Now it`s readable, with some fading, also co-channel underneath, so it`s winter daytime skywave, from Cedar Rapids IA.

Then scanned the entire MW band, but nothing much else, even on the hi end at the moment. I need to do this more, at quiet rural locations around low-noon Solstice (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1320, Dec 16 at 1809 UT, Rush from KCLI Clinton OK, the dominant station here, but rumble het also audible near low noon, so must not be too far away; prime suspects Fort Smith AR, Lawrence KS, maybe a couple of Texans (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1510, Dec 16 at 1811 UT, two weak stations; one sounds like the still unID Mexican music, format change in Kansas? And the other in sportstalk about the Clippers; as always, heavy splash from KOKC-1520 (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7850, the frequency CHU replaced 7335 with, has worked out pretty well, certainly no broadcast interference, and until now no ute QRM either, but Dec 17 at 1427 there is Spanish 2-way on 7852.5 SSB approximately (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

SAQ transmission on Christmas Eve

SAQ is planned to be on air on Christmas Eve 24th December at 08:00 UTC. The frequency is 17.2 kHz CW. We start the transmitter about 07:30 UTC for tuning and tests.

QSL reports are welcome and will be confirmed by QSL cards. However, reports from  reproductions of the transmission via Internet (e.g. the receiver in Delft) will not be confirmed by QSL cards.

 

QSL reports can be given via:
- E-mail to: info@alexander.n.se
- or fax to: +46-340-674195
- or via SM bureau
- or direct by mail to: Alexander - Grimeton Veteranradios Vaenner, Radiostationen, Grimeton 72, S-430 16 ROLFSTORP, SWEDEN

Note: SAQ is now a member of the Swedish Amateur Association (SSA) and "QSL via bureau" is OK.
Alexanderson Day, listeners' reports

 

Unofficial transmissions may take place, due to maintenance, training or local events. Reports from unofficial transmissions are normally not confirmed by QSL cards.

 

In summertime, the Alexander Society shows the alternator on Tuesday evenings, combined with a start of the alternator. On these events, there is no transmission from SAQ.
