Glenn Hauser logs October 27-28, 2011
** ALBANIA. 13625, Oct 28 at 1430, R. Tirana still missing from English to NAm; then I tune up to 13640, and there is Klara! with her opening schedule announcement, but reception too poor to tell if she has updated it; I seriously doubt it, since they never updated last spring`s initial frequencies after a change. But what`s RT doing on 13640? That`s the frequency planned for B-11, but not until Oct 31, when the time will have shifted to 1530!
Then we see a delayed by p-mail report from Edwin Southwell in England, via Mike Barraclough:
``Radio Tirana frequency changes since October 24 for the English service; noted at 1430 on 13640 (ex 13625) good reception. At 2000 noted on 7530 (ex 7465), noted Radio Tirana on 7465 with music and interval signal at 1957 for a minute or so then transmitter cut off and opened on 7520 (sic, assume typo for 7530 which is the B-11 registration) in English (Edwin Southwell, Hampshire, World DX Club Contact)``
So they made the frequency change a week early, but not the time change! Since the NAm frequency on 13 MHz was to be dropped in B-11 when English would have been at 1945 and 2100, I suppose that explain why we have not been hearing it at all on 13735 at 1845 or 2000 this week (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Oct 28, before 1300:
16100, good at 1257
15900, good at 1257
13970, good at 1258
12500, good at 1258
11500, fair at 1258; none in the 10s
7970, poor at 1259
Before 1400:
16980, poor at 1356
16100, good at 1356; none in the 15s, 14s, 13s
12600, very good at 1358-1400*
10300, fair at 1359
7970, poor at 1359
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CYPRUS. 24997-25022 and 23975-24000, OTH radar pulses, presumed from here, Oct 28 at 1426; none others heard in the 22-26 range, but there was some CODAR again above 25 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 15710, Oct 28 at 1400-1402* tone test; surely the only thing scheduled, 1230-1400 R. Cairo in Indonesian, 250 kW, 106 degrees from Abis (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 15770, S Asian language, with big hum, cut off abruptly at 1251:12* before I lined up my eye to parallax the frequency for sure on the FRG-7, but since nothing is scheduled on 15765 or 15775, it looks very much like this, as in Aoki, running late:
15770 ALL INDIA RADIO 1215-1245 1234567 Telugu 250 132 Aligarh
After 1245 the language may have been other than Telugu, altho I don`t find another one scheduled to start at 1245 on any other AIR frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 15540, Oct 27 at 1800, I am monitoring R. Kuwait on the portable, but it`s too weak to tell if still in Arabic instead of English. Checking on the main rig at 2012, 15540 has faded out and 13650 is in Qur`an.
Oct 28 at 1815, 15540 is JBA, so it`s becoming moot what language it`s in, but I can just barely tell that it`s playing music, no longer // 13650 which is speaking Arabic, so maybe English service is back? Please check in Europe where presumably it remain audible.
As for resuming 11990 for 18-21 English, the frequency they used in past years, and continued to announce until this week, in B-11 that is going to be open, altho squeezed by Russia/Armenia on the lo side and France on the hi side (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1600, KUSH Cushing, missing for several days, is back Oct 27 at 1800 UT check, local ads, Oklahoma News Network (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. RF32, KXOK-LD is again being seen on the duplicate adjacent channel to its regular one, RF31 in Enid, morning of Oct 28 from 1518 UT tune-in onwards. They also have a DTV translator on 35 in Lamont, halfway to Ponca City, which I don`t usually see. Still no explanation of what they`re doing on 32.
Altho we had a near-freeze this morning, a little tropo enhancement developed tnx warmup by 1437 UT Oct 28, with visible analog signal from KWDW-LP channel 48 OKC with Univisión`s `hoy` program from Televisa, all about Salma Hayek. Then the ch 19 LP in OKC also barely locked in, so these two are still on the air in an otherwise vacant analog TV spectrum here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9990, Oct 27 around 2015, big open carrier, no doubt WTWW-2 testing again, but no modulation this time, and cuts off and on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 15825, Thursday Oct 27 at 2034, VG signal from WWCR during a decent musical program, `Into the Blue`, which means bluegrass, not blues or naughty comedy. Lots of banjo tunes. 2057 interrupt music and switch to another, interrupt again at 2058 for QSY announcement to 7465. Earlier in the hour I tried to listen to `Couleurs Tropicales` on RFI via GUF 21690, but they were chatting more than musicking (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1588 monitoring. Confirmed on WTWW 9479, excellent signal Thursday Oct 27 from 2100:30, after ID inserted into SFAW, back to SFAW for a few more sex before WOR. Other time on WTWW is UT Sunday 0400+ on 5755.
Also confirmed on WRMI 9955, Thursday Oct 27 from 2100, just after signing back on. Poor but readable signal, not jammed. Further WRMI airings: Friday 0500, 1430, Saturday 0800, 1500, 1730, Sunday 0800, 1530, 1730. . .
Also confirmed on WBCQ 7490 (NEW, ex-7415), from 2130 Thursday Oct 27, checked around 2140 with readable signal and no QRM audible, as closer to sunset. Next week will still be at 2130, but B-11 schedules in effect elsewhere, including konflict with Kazakhstan until 2200. Week after that, we switch to 2230 UT, and then the co-channel will be BBC via Thailand. Other time on WBCQ: UT Monday 0300v on Area 51 5110v-CUSB (last week it was at 0200 by mistake).
Also confirmed before 0400 Oct 28, the UT Friday 0330 airing on WWRB, now much better on 3195 but still // 5051 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6942, approx. center of strange tones, Oct 28 at 0555-0610+, seems like some different carriers both with tone modulation and beating against each other, constantly shifting up and down a few kHz. Never any ID or talk at all. Poor signal. Maybe a legit ute, HAARP? It sounded rather spooky, so perhaps a pirate gearing up for the Hallowe`en weekend extravaganza here in the pirate band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 28564-USB, Oct 28 at 1420, pileup of ham stations evidently desperate to work some DXpedition? Calls or partial calls making it thru were K3HV and PE1-something. It`s really exasperating that in such situations all they say is their own call over and over, so a bystander cannot know what station they are trying to work and whether it`s on the same frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
Then we see a delayed by p-mail report from Edwin Southwell in England, via Mike Barraclough:

Glenn Hauser logs October 26-27, 2011
** ALBANIA. 13735, Oct 26 at 1845, R. Tirana still absent from previously active English broadcast. Ditto 13625, Oct 27 at 1437 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ANTARCTICA. 15476, Oct 27 a Thursday, so a thoro search for LRA36 is called for, supposedly active Tue & Thu 13-15. Nothing detectable at 1301, 1337, 1352, 1409. However at 1439 I again have a JBA carrier near 15475 instead (comparing to remnant of Australia on 9475). The computers here are off, so I increasingly suspect something is really transmitting on 15475; RNASG slipped a kHz down? Spur of something else? Nothing is scheduled now or in B-11 HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. The ionosphere still hasn`t recovered from the geomag storm 2-3 days ago. Firedrake chex Oct 27, before 1200:
10300, JBA at 1153. Did not to a complete search at this time
Before 1300: none audible 10-17 MHz around 1255-1300
Before 1400:
7970, poor at 1353
10300, fair at 1353
11500, good at 1345; none in the 12s
13850, good at 1355 but ACI from 13845 WWCR
13920, very poor at 1355 with fax QRM, Australia? None in the 14s
15440, fair at 1356 with noise; still on at 1404 plus CCI
15545, good at 1356; het on hi side
15970, very good at 1356
16100, very good at 1358
16980, very good at 1358; none in the 17s, 18s
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9525-, Oct 27 at 1307, VOI still AWOL when English used to be houred. The adjacent RRI transmitter on 9680 is still funxional but always with QRM from China/Taiwan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 15540, for the third day, Oct 26, R. Kuwait is in Arabic instead of English from 1800. Already going at 1757 tune in, poor signal today, but // 13650. 1842 both in Qur`an; 1900 announcement and more Q. 1915 faded to JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1588, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Pre-sunrise MW DX Oct 27:
560, Oct 27 at 1203 UT, ``La Primera en Monclova``, Casas Luxor sponsors time & temp, from ``XEGIK, presenta Son Noticias``. That`s a play on words, both ``the sound of news`` and ``this is the news``
620, Oct 27 at 1206 UT, two stations mixing, one playing NA late atop, and the other in Spanish talk. 1207 the NA station sign-on mentions Chihuahua2, so it`s the usual XEBU. The other one is more southerly, news mentioning Estado de Veracruz, then many other place names, Estado de México; most likely XENK in the DF
650, Oct 27 at 1200 UT, NA, 1201 ID as Radio Viva, Radio K(?), Grupo Chávez, tuba ensemble, 1202 ``Panorama Agropecuario`` farm show from Sinaloa heard any morning at this time, so it`s still XETNT Los Mochis
860, Oct 27 at 1218 UT, novelty or children`s song about escuela, 1220 quick singing ID Radio Recuerdo, interviewing kids including first-graders Brítany y Stéfani (no telling how they really spell the names) about what they are learning. Seldom log any XEs on 860. Cantú:
860 XENL Radio Recuerdo Monterrey, N.L. 5,000 2,000
1030, Oct 27 at 1231 UT, from WSW, gobierno federal PSAs, news about Euro financial situation; 1242 PSAs from Estado de Chihuahua, gob. fed. So XEYC, R. Fórmula, Ciudad Juárez.
The fed PSAs are now appending a rapid condensed-speech disclaimer at the end, the text of which I wish I could copy. Unfortunately, we never see any ``domestic`` MW logs from Mexican DXers; apparently there is no interest there in such pursuits (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 15510, Oct 27 at 1254, mostly hum and flutter, then classical fanfare (Handel?), more JBM music, 1257 more audible classical music bits, just filling time? 1300 brief announcement and ``Chariots of Fire`` theme, still heavy flutter. Aoki & HFCC show this as VOR Pashto/Dari service at 12-14, 250 kW, 140 degrees from Samara; a regular here, but not for long, going elsewhere in B-11 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 15450, Oct 27 at 1305, VOT with good signal in English, discussing fight against terrorism = PKK, with bits of music, Kurdish? Why don`t they just cede a chunk of Turkey to the Kurds and be done with it? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9990, Oct 26 at 2050, WTWW-2 transmitter is on with test, simulcasting PPP on 9479. Good audio and excellent signal; even with max attenuation on the FRG-7 I can`t tell any difference in strength compared to 9980 WWCR, but George McClintock tells me WTWW was only running 25 kW. This rhombic antenna seems to be funxioning well. There are still a number of minor things which need to be done before #2 can be put into regular service. Night frequency 5080 has also been tested but I haven`t heard it yet. That has QRM from a ute data station, and WTWW has applied for 5095 instead which may have less QRM. Once it`s in full operation he will decide on a program client; there are two interested in 24-hour operation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1588, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5000, Oct 27 at 1145, JBA carrier from presumed WWV or WWVH. This is extremely unusual, neither of them audible on 5 MHz. Fortunately, 2500 still bore WWV. Further, lower-latitude signals remained such as 4055 Guatemala and 5025 Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17820, Oct 27 at 1308, big open carrier atop DW Hausa, as IBB Greenville makes another habitual brief appearance around this time far ahead of scheduled 17820 broadcast, VOA Portuguese at 1700. In B-11 this moves to 17650, with an earlier start Fridays at 1630 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1588 monitoring: first airing confirmed on webcast from WRMI 9955, UT Thursday Oct 27 until 0400. Further WRMI times: Thu 1500, 2100, Fri 0500, 1430, Sat 0800, 1500, 1730, Sun 0800, 1530, 1730.
WTWW: Thu 2101 9479, UT Sun 0400 5755
WBCQ: Thu 2130 NEW 7490 ex-7415; UT Sun 0300v 5110v-CUSB (last week was at 0200 by mistake)
WWRB: UT Friday 0331 on 3195, 5051
WRN via SiriusXM 120: Sat & Sun 1730, Sun 0830
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15331 approx., Oct 27 at 1303, 2-way in SSB, not Spanish, maybe Chinese. I notice my logs of these things are seldom published elsewhere, apparently of no interest. Well, I think documenting intruders is important, and wish others would do so, especially those who could understand the colloquial languages employed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ANTARCTICA. 15476, Oct 27 a Thursday, so a thoro search for LRA36 is called for, supposedly active Tue & Thu 13-15. Nothing detectable at 1301, 1337, 1352, 1409.

7970, poor at 1353
10300, fair at 1353
11500, good at 1345; none in the 12s
13850, good at 1355 but ACI from 13845 WWCR
13920, very poor at 1355 with fax QRM, Australia? None in the 14s
15440, fair at 1356 with noise; still on at 1404 plus CCI
15545, good at 1356; het on hi side
15970, very good at 1356
16100, very good at 1358
16980, very good at 1358; none in the 17s, 18s
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9525-, Oct 27 at 1307, VOI still AWOL when English used to be houred. The adjacent RRI transmitter on 9680 is still funxional but always with QRM from China/Taiwan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 15540, for the third day, Oct 26, R. Kuwait is in Arabic instead of English from 1800. Already going at 1757 tune in, poor signal today, but // 13650. 1842 both in Qur`an; 1900 announcement and more Q. 1915 faded to JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1588, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Pre-sunrise MW DX Oct 27:
560, Oct 27 at 1203 UT, ``La Primera en Monclova``, Casas Luxor sponsors time & temp, from ``XEGIK, presenta Son Noticias``. That`s a play on words, both ``the sound of news`` and ``this is the news``
620, Oct 27 at 1206 UT, two stations mixing, one playing NA late atop, and the other in Spanish talk. 1207 the NA station sign-on mentions Chihuahua2, so it`s the usual XEBU. The other one is more southerly, news mentioning Estado de Veracruz, then many other place names, Estado de México; most likely XENK in the DF
650, Oct 27 at 1200 UT, NA, 1201 ID as Radio Viva, Radio K(?), Grupo Chávez, tuba ensemble, 1202 ``Panorama Agropecuario`` farm show from Sinaloa heard any morning at this time, so it`s still XETNT Los Mochis
860, Oct 27 at 1218 UT, novelty or children`s song about escuela, 1220 quick singing ID Radio Recuerdo, interviewing kids including first-graders Brítany y Stéfani (no telling how they really spell the names) about what they are learning. Seldom log any XEs on 860. Cantú:
860 XENL Radio Recuerdo Monterrey, N.L. 5,000 2,000
1030, Oct 27 at 1231 UT, from WSW, gobierno federal PSAs, news about Euro financial situation; 1242 PSAs from Estado de Chihuahua, gob. fed. So XEYC, R. Fórmula, Ciudad Juárez.
The fed PSAs are now appending a rapid condensed-speech disclaimer at the end, the text of which I wish I could copy. Unfortunately, we never see any ``domestic`` MW logs from Mexican DXers; apparently there is no interest there in such pursuits (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 15510, Oct 27 at 1254, mostly hum and flutter, then classical fanfare (Handel?), more JBM music, 1257 more audible classical music bits, just filling time? 1300 brief announcement and ``Chariots of Fire`` theme, still heavy flutter. Aoki & HFCC show this as VOR Pashto/Dari service at 12-14, 250 kW, 140 degrees from Samara; a regular here, but not for long, going elsewhere in B-11 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 15450, Oct 27 at 1305, VOT with good signal in English, discussing fight against terrorism = PKK, with bits of music, Kurdish? Why don`t they just cede a chunk of Turkey to the Kurds and be done with it? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9990, Oct 26 at 2050, WTWW-2 transmitter is on with test, simulcasting PPP on 9479. Good audio and excellent signal; even with max attenuation on the FRG-7 I can`t tell any difference in strength compared to 9980 WWCR, but George McClintock tells me WTWW was only running 25 kW. This rhombic antenna seems to be funxioning well. There are still a number of minor things which need to be done before #2 can be put into regular service. Night frequency 5080 has also been tested but I haven`t heard it yet. That has QRM from a ute data station, and WTWW has applied for 5095 instead which may have less QRM. Once it`s in full operation he will decide on a program client; there are two interested in 24-hour operation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1588, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5000, Oct 27 at 1145, JBA carrier from presumed WWV or WWVH. This is extremely unusual, neither of them audible on 5 MHz. Fortunately, 2500 still bore WWV. Further, lower-latitude signals remained such as 4055 Guatemala and 5025 Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17820, Oct 27 at 1308, big open carrier atop DW Hausa, as IBB Greenville makes another habitual brief appearance around this time far ahead of scheduled 17820 broadcast, VOA Portuguese at 1700. In B-11 this moves to 17650, with an earlier start Fridays at 1630 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1588 monitoring: first airing confirmed on webcast from WRMI 9955, UT Thursday Oct 27 until 0400. Further WRMI times: Thu 1500, 2100, Fri 0500, 1430, Sat 0800, 1500, 1730, Sun 0800, 1530, 1730.
WTWW: Thu 2101 9479, UT Sun 0400 5755
WBCQ: Thu 2130 NEW 7490 ex-7415; UT Sun 0300v 5110v-CUSB (last week was at 0200 by mistake)
WWRB: UT Friday 0331 on 3195, 5051
WRN via SiriusXM 120: Sat & Sun 1730, Sun 0830
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15331 approx., Oct 27 at 1303, 2-way in SSB, not Spanish, maybe Chinese. I notice my logs of these things are seldom published elsewhere, apparently of no interest. Well, I think documenting intruders is important, and wish others would do so, especially those who could understand the colloquial languages employed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
mercoledì 26 ottobre 2011
Glenn Hauser logs October 25-26, 2011
** ALBANIA. No signals from R. Tirana to be heard UT Oct 26: 0040 on 9860, 7425; 0150 and 0235 on 7425 where there had been English. Nor at 1431 on 13625. So are any R. Tirana broadcasts on air this week? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Oct 26, before 1300, mostly with flutter:
7970, poor at 1255
10300, good at 1255
12230, good at 1255
12500, very good at 1256
13970, very poor at 1257
14600, poor at 1257
15900, fair at 1258
16100, fair at 1259; none in the 17s or 18s by 1300
Before 1400:
16100, very good at 1346
15545, very good at 1348
15440, noise jamming way over the FD at 1349
14600, very good at 1349
13970, very good at 1351
12500, very good at 1352
12230, poor at 1351
11520, good signal at 1353 but very distorted! And mixing with noise
10300, good at 1353
7970, very poor at 1358
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5040, Oct 26 at 0505, RHC Spanish is still on late past nominal 0500*, via a squealy transmitter, but not as bad as the one with English on 6150 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CYPRUS. 14693-14718, Oct 26 at 1349, OTH radar pulses, presumed from here, conveniently occupying a space vacated by Firedrake which was on 14600 instead (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 15540, Oct 25 at 1757, R. Kuwait is already on, instead of Urdu, in Arabic speech, mentioning Palestine, Sudan, perhaps a special live event, because it continued past 1800 without timesignal, and was // 13650 which is normally in Arabic. 1826 recheck, speech is over, but still in Arabic on both, so looks like English is kaput from 15540, which now is much stronger than 13650. 1914 rerecheck, both still // with Qur`an. 2000 announcement, back to Qur`an, and now the // to 15540 is 17550, weaker but at least audible, ex-13650. 11990, the long-announced English frequency is still not on the air as it ought to be at 18-21. So no more English from Kuwait on SW; we can`t help but wonder if the 15540 broadcast was an ``intentional mistake`` whose time has run out (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. The aurora-induced sporadic E opening of Oct 25 continued to bring in some weak analog ch 2 signals as late as 1815 UT, but no more at 1900 and several later chex that afternoon (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Pre-sunrise DX Oct 26 UT:
770, Oct 26 at 1225 UT, string of government PSAs, 1228 full ID for XEACH, R. Fórmula Monterrey, including address and 800 number; 1229 rock song in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. RF 32, the duplicate ``TV-OK`` signal same as KXOK-LD on RF 31, lasted a few more days and is now gone, without any explanation from the Enid station (Glenn Hauser, Enid, Oct 26, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN. 9960, Oct 26 at 1355, surprised to hear VTC/BaBcoCk fill music loop, but shortly to Vietnamese announcement. Not in original Babcock A-11 schedule or HFCC, but Aoki shows Family Radio at 13-14 on 9960, 100 kW, 267 degrees via Tainan. I guess this is routed thru BaBcoCk, like some other Taiwan relays such as 9950, Furusato no Kaze at same time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGESET)
** U S A. 9370, Oct 25 at various times I noticed WTJC very undermodulated, and while that was no bother to any neighbor, I said to myself, ``a bad sign, I bet they will be squeezing out spurs before long``. And so they were! Oct 26 at 1218, huge distorted blobs around 9395 and 9345, i.e. 25 kHz either side, while 9370 remained very undermodulated. A weaker pair could be heard 50 kHz on either side, circa 9320 and 9420. However, by 1255, the spurs were gone, no doubt only temporarily, as WTJC goes thru periodic continuous cycles out of whack and back into whack (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 920, Oct 26 at 1232 UT, dominant signal looping NW/SE with low-key local newscast, no hype, no ads, items such as: rock art vandalism in Utah, call BLM; Wyoming/Colorado water pipeline controversy; local elexions in Ballard City; Hallowe`en parade route changed in Roosevelt; tri-county health department sponsoring expired drug drop-off in Vernal. Finally fading at 1239 with increasing religious signal from NE/SW, no doubt KYFR in Iowa. This was obviously KVEL in Vernal UT, 5/1 kW U2 and should have been on night power before sunrise even in Enid (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1430, Oct 26 at 1245 UT, ``Johnny, Be Good`` by Chuck Berry, 1247 ID sounded like ``All News KQGZ``, then mixing with `The Buzz` from Tulsa. I think the first one must have been KZQZ Saint Louis, where 1430 was originally WIL --- why would they replace a great heritage call with such an ugly unpronounceable one? FCC patterns show 5 kW daytime with a broad lobe to NNW, but plenty of signal to the SW; and a 50 kW daytime CP with quite different pattern, major lobes to the WSW and ENE; is that on air yet? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENINGN DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 17550, Oct 26 at 1345, open carrier. Maybe the only thing scheduled, R. Cairo in Pashto at 13-16, 250 kW, 70 degrees from Abu Zabaal; but I don`t recall ever hearing it modulating. Also strange open carriers at same time on 17473.5 stronger than 17477.5, producing a 4 kHz het with sufficient receive bandwidth (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Oct 26, before 1300, mostly with flutter:
7970, poor at 1255
10300, good at 1255
12230, good at 1255
12500, very good at 1256

# SIDC Weekly bulletin on Solar and Geomagnetic activity #
#--------------------------------------------------------------------#
WEEK 564 from 2011 Oct 17
SOLAR ACTIVITY
--------------
Solar activity was moderate during the week with
3 M class flares, which occurred on Oct. 20, 21
and 22. The M1.6 flare of Oct. 20 (0325 UT peak time)
was partially occulted as it occurred behind the
west limb. The M1.3 flare of Oct. 21 (1300 UT peak
time) took place in NOAA AR 1319. Finally, a M1.3 long
duration event occurred in NOAA AR 1314 on Oct.
22 (1110 UT peak time), close to the west limb.
This last event was associated with a >10 MeV
proton flux enhancement that barely reached
the threshold for a proper proton event on Oct. 23.
A filament eruption occurred on Oct. 22
around 0200 UT, followed by a CME potentially Earth
directed.
GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY
--------------------
The geomagnetic conditions were very low during the week.

Onde medie... adriatiche!
Di seguito alcuni ascolti dalla solita postazione sulla costa adriatica; come sempre buona propagazione da est con le ormai "solite" (e ci metto le virgolette perchè rimango stupito ogni volta che arrivano) stazioni più potenti dall'est asiatico... sempre con tecsun pl660 e rgp3

Couple arrested in Germany for spying whilst listening to numbers station
German investigators have arrested two suspected Russian undercover agents -- a married couple believed to have been spying on Germany for over two decades. The case could hurt relations between Germany and Russia.
It was still dark when a unit of German police commandos burst into a family home in the western town of Marburg at 06.30 a.m. last Tuesday. Heidrun A. was sitting in her study in front of a wireless transmitter that was receiving encoded messages on a shortwave frequency and was hooked up by cable to a computer.

Glenn Hauser logs October 25, 2011
** ALBANIA. 7425 and 9860, Oct 25 at 0038, R. Tirana inaudible on either; K-index would soon hit 5 in severe propagation disturbance; did not get 7425 checked for the subsequent broadcasts.
13625, Oct 25 at 1437, no R. Tirana detected now either, tho various other signals on band, still not fully recovered from disturbance. Earlier checking at 1406, there was some intermittent ute noise circa 13628 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ANTARCTICA. 15476, Tuesday Oct 25, no carrier detected from LRA36 at chex 1313, 1355, 1405. Yimber Gaviría found an article about their 32nd anniversary last Thursday Oct 20:
32 años de radio argentina en la Antártida http://bit.ly/rjLLGW
First it says that LRA36 started in 1982 at a different base, Marambio; then later it says it started in 1979 at Esperanza! It may be the `first and only` Antarctic station now, but of course there was AFAN, the US station at McMurdo for a number of years on 6012, which the Argies like to overlook.
Says the schedule is Tue & Thu only at 13-15 UT, due to energy conservation restrixions. That appears to be current, but also says power is 10 kW, while other reports said it is a 5 kW unit, and run at much less than that (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 15785, Oct 25 at 0535, Chinese with heavy flutter; HFCC shows CRI via Xi`an. Momentary pause in Firedrake/RFA search (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Oct 25 before 0600 UT, during unusual propagation conditions, i.e. after 1 pm ChiCom time, all with heavy flutter:
16980, poor at 0532
16700, poor at 0532
16100, poor at 0532
15900, poor at 0532
14700, poor at 0545
13960, JBA at 0548
13130, JBA at 0545
12230, JBA at 0548
Oct 25, before 1300:
12500, poor with flutter at 1246; none higher
12230, very poor at 1246
10300, good at 1249
Before 1400:
10300, good at 1357
12670, fair at 1357
13970, poor at 1358
14700, fair at 1358
15440, fair at 1358
15545, poor at 1359 with noise added
15970, fair at 1359-1400*
Started too late, so highers unchecked before 1400
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. Propagation proves the incompetence of the DentroCuban Jamming Command, leaving the nasties running all night and producing harmonix, spurs:
18090, Oct 25 at 0543, jamming, not just pulses, i.e. more than one, 3 x 6030 vs Martí
17865, Oct 25 at 0543, exactly same sound as 18090, 3 x 5955 vs. R. República, which is probably no longer on at this hour
13820, Oct 25 at 0546, pulse jamming long after R. Martí is off
9805, Oct 25 at 0551, slow pulse jamming at rate of 2 per second, against another absent Martí
9965, Oct 25 at 0552, pulses of 2 per second like 9805, but mixed with another faster one. Another non-used R. República frequency
9955, Oct 25 at 0552, similar to 9965, but R. Praga via WRMI holding its own (a bit earlier I looked for jammers on x 2 = 19910 but unheard; in fact think I`ve never caught them there even in daytime).
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9525-, Oct 25 at 1251, 1355, VOI still absent, so another Tuesday no-show for `Exotic Indonesia` with RRI Banjarmasin. Ishida http://rri.jpn.org/ as of Oct 25 at 1515 shows no reception of 9525 since Oct 20 at 1035 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MAURITANIA. 783, Oct 25 at 0033, the only TA carrier I could detect, 9-kHz stepping down the entire band, likely IGIM, with higher paths blocked by CME (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Checking MW early UT Oct 25 for TAs but not much heard; instead somewhat auroral conditions favoring southern signals. Facing south on the porch, little did I realize that by 0120, visible aurorae would be reported as far south as Tulsa and Edmond OK. But our northerly horizon is light-polluted, tree-blocked when checked later.
690, Oct 25 at 0059 UT, after a Gardel-like song, ``La 69.com.mx``, full ID for XEN, 690 amplitud modulada, Radio Rey, 100,000 watts, street address, etc. 0102 ``La 69, 6-90 AM`` promos. Cantú, then IRCA info:

780, Oct 25 at 0103 UT spacey sounders and ``la poderosa`` slogan, WBBM nulled, but heavy SAH from illegal KSPI Stillwater OK carrier never turned off. Slogan is too generic, but XESFT usually dominates.

At this late hour one would like to think they were really on 100-watt night power!
900, Oct 25 at 0045 UT, one can no longer assume the Mexican here is XEW, but heard the familiar from sesquidecades past four descending chimes of XEW, then #1562 in the series of ``La Colita`` programs.

Therefore it is:

690, Oct 25 at 1200 UT in KGGF null, local adstring but frustratingly without any gotcha names recognized; 1204 mentions 107.1 y 690; No such frequency matches on the 690s in Cantú or IRCA
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. CME and geomag storm set off some very off-season sporadic E into VHF, Oct 25 UT:
1410 turn-on of channel 2 analog, there is the f network-4 from SSW: Large f bug in lower left, smaller one in upper right
1412 on 3, toons surely net-5, likely XHBQ, plus CCI
1417 on 2, net 4 fades in again, f talk show
1440 on 2, net 7 fades in, with soccer clips; 7 bug in LR plus digital time and temp; CARTA BLANCA sponsor bug in circle in UL; soon fade out; back at 1446 with some audio
1515 on 2, fade-in with net-5 bug UR, toon
1535 on 2, algo fades in with nasal remedy ad, map of facial innerds (at first I thought intestinal until zoomed out to a face).
1607 on 2, fade-in Colgate ad, hoy show from net-2, 11:07 clock LR
1635 on 2, another fade-in with CCI, some Spanish audio
1704+, weak signals on 2 continue to fade in occasionally
(Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 15120, Oct 25 at 0610, VON is S9+18 way over CCCCI, in African news, undermodulated scratchy sound, some hum (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS [and non]. A few hours after CME producing geomag storm and visible auroras, SW propagation is bouncing back very abnormally. Oct 25 at 0530, huge S9+20 signal from Radio Free Asia in Chinese on 17855, SSOB by far, // second SSOB 17615, only S9+12, and desynchronized a bit ahead of 17855. 17615 had barely detectable CCI under, presumably CNR1 jamming. Then found other //s: 15660 at 0535, but also with CNR1 echo jamming, and // 15615 more unsynchronized. At 0537, even 21580 was propagating // 17855 but not synchro, and with some CNR1 CCI; // 21740 as well. 21580 would sometimes make it at midsummer with near-light paths, but not to be expected now. Sites per HFCC: SAIPAN on 17855 only; all others TINIAN.
21740 was scheduled at 06-07 Sundays only, so must be recent expansion. At 0605, 17855 is still VG and way over CCI, 15615 and 17615 still on and 17870 has been added, synchro with 17855. 17870 is not listed even in the latest IBB update on HFCC. Programming now is W in studio talking to M on phone. 13m channels off after 0600, 21580, 21740, but then at 0604 there`s RFA Chinese on 21755 which per HFCC is Tinian, Tuesdays and Thursdays only at 06-07; what luck!
21535 also has appeared at 0605 with poor signal, non-Chinese. Nothing whensoever in HFCC but Aoki shows RFA Tibetan 06-07 Tuesdays only via Tinian since Aug 30; what luck, again!
Checked 15m but hardly any activity, weak SSB on 21246 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1600, KUSH Cushing still missing Oct 25 at 1437 UT check; instead still hearing skywave Vietnamese from KRVA TX, with SAH from something (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SINT MAARTEN [and non]. 18130-USB, Oct 25 at 0541, PJ7MF is giving 5&7 reports to numerous contacts including JA2IFF, also heard at 0542. QRZ.com shows:
PJ7MF
Marco Ferrante
Sint Maarten Island
IOTA NA-105
Saba, St Eustatius
Mentioning the other islands is only confusing, but presumably on StM.
He also worked W2ASS, pronounced alfa-sierra-sierra, a call I found questionable, but the contact was straight-faced. No, it`s for real per ARRL/FCC lookup:
DIAZ, RAFAEL A, W2ASS
7914 EUGENE DR
PORT RICHEY, FL 34668
Previous call sign: KB2MYM
I daresay IDs by fonetix only are mandatory, not optional. ``17m`` was really hopping with signals in the nightmiddle after CME (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3215 // weaker 5051, Oct 25 at 0051, WWRB, Dave has resumed filling unsold time with repetitive barker loop offering airtime at $30 for 30 minutes, $60 for 60 minutes (= dollar a minute; where have we heard that before?), on prime frequencies 3215 and 3195. (3215 presumably switches to 3195 at 0100 when WWCR starts 3215.) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. One of my references to the R. Martí 11930 harmonic in previous report typoed 23960; of course it`s really 23860 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 770, Oct 25 at 1236 UT, ad for comedian George López appearing at the Inn of the Mountain Gods (which is near Ruidoso NM), in Nov; 1237 Albuquerque traffic report ``on the 7s``, mild 61 degrees in downtown Albuquerque. Weak but steady signal, presumably the KKOB Santa Fe filler with 230 watts until 1315*. How about traffic in SF? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 870, Oct 25 at 1157 UT in WWL null, instead of XETAR which is about to sign on, English reporter with NPR News outro credit, then 90.5 WKAR ID. It`s a rare day to hear any NPR on MW here, so thank you, MSU in East Lansing MI, even if you don`t want to mention you are still also on AM. Is 10 kW D3. Pattern favors the NW, but no deep nulls elsewhere. LSR/LSS are 1145-2300 UT in Oct; 1230-2215 in Nov
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1360, Oct 25 at 1258 UT, American Freedom Network, super-patriotic slogans, American News Network also mentioned, ID KHNC Johnstown-Denver. Johnstown is north of Denver, closer to Greeley and Loveland. 10/1 kW U4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1530, Oct 25 at 1233 UT, local Kansas news by YL, 1225 OM ID as KQNK, weather, low to be 28 Thursday morning. 1227 YL with school breakfast and lunch menus; is 11 miles from Nebraska between Oberlin and Phillipsburg which were also mentioned. 1000 watt non-direxional daytimer plus 500 watt PSRA, dominating frequency for a while (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
13625, Oct 25 at 1437, no R. Tirana detected now either, tho various other signals on band, still not fully recovered from disturbance. Earlier checking at 1406, there was some intermittent ute noise circa 13628 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

1535 on 2, algo fades in with nasal remedy ad, map of facial innerds (at first I thought intestinal until zoomed out to a face).
1607 on 2, fade-in Colgate ad, hoy show from net-2, 11:07 clock LR
1635 on 2, another fade-in with CCI, some Spanish audio

** NIGERIA. 15120, Oct 25 at 0610, VON is S9+18 way over CCCCI, in African news, undermodulated scratchy sound, some hum (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS [and non]. A few hours after CME producing geomag storm and visible auroras, SW propagation is bouncing back very abnormally. Oct 25 at 0530, huge S9+20 signal from Radio Free Asia in Chinese on 17855, SSOB by far, // second SSOB 17615, only S9+12, and desynchronized a bit ahead of 17855. 17615 had barely detectable CCI under, presumably CNR1 jamming. Then found other //s: 15660 at 0535, but also with CNR1 echo jamming, and // 15615 more unsynchronized. At 0537, even 21580 was propagating // 17855 but not synchro, and with some CNR1 CCI; // 21740 as well. 21580 would sometimes make it at midsummer with near-light paths, but not to be expected now. Sites per HFCC: SAIPAN on 17855 only; all others TINIAN.
21740 was scheduled at 06-07 Sundays only, so must be recent expansion. At 0605, 17855 is still VG and way over CCI, 15615 and 17615 still on and 17870 has been added, synchro with 17855. 17870 is not listed even in the latest IBB update on HFCC. Programming now is W in studio talking to M on phone. 13m channels off after 0600, 21580, 21740, but then at 0604 there`s RFA Chinese on 21755 which per HFCC is Tinian, Tuesdays and Thursdays only at 06-07; what luck!
21535 also has appeared at 0605 with poor signal, non-Chinese. Nothing whensoever in HFCC but Aoki shows RFA Tibetan 06-07 Tuesdays only via Tinian since Aug 30; what luck, again!
Checked 15m but hardly any activity, weak SSB on 21246 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1600, KUSH Cushing still missing Oct 25 at 1437 UT check; instead still hearing skywave Vietnamese from KRVA TX, with SAH from something (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SINT MAARTEN [and non]. 18130-USB, Oct 25 at 0541, PJ7MF is giving 5&7 reports to numerous contacts including JA2IFF, also heard at 0542. QRZ.com shows:
PJ7MF
Marco Ferrante
Sint Maarten Island
IOTA NA-105
Saba, St Eustatius
Mentioning the other islands is only confusing, but presumably on StM.
He also worked W2ASS, pronounced alfa-sierra-sierra, a call I found questionable, but the contact was straight-faced. No, it`s for real per ARRL/FCC lookup:
DIAZ, RAFAEL A, W2ASS
7914 EUGENE DR
PORT RICHEY, FL 34668
Previous call sign: KB2MYM
I daresay IDs by fonetix only are mandatory, not optional. ``17m`` was really hopping with signals in the nightmiddle after CME (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3215 // weaker 5051, Oct 25 at 0051, WWRB, Dave has resumed filling unsold time with repetitive barker loop offering airtime at $30 for 30 minutes, $60 for 60 minutes (= dollar a minute; where have we heard that before?), on prime frequencies 3215 and 3195. (3215 presumably switches to 3195 at 0100 when WWCR starts 3215.) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. One of my references to the R. Martí 11930 harmonic in previous report typoed 23960; of course it`s really 23860 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 770, Oct 25 at 1236 UT, ad for comedian George López appearing at the Inn of the Mountain Gods (which is near Ruidoso NM), in Nov; 1237 Albuquerque traffic report ``on the 7s``, mild 61 degrees in downtown Albuquerque. Weak but steady signal, presumably the KKOB Santa Fe filler with 230 watts until 1315*. How about traffic in SF? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 870, Oct 25 at 1157 UT in WWL null, instead of XETAR which is about to sign on, English reporter with NPR News outro credit, then 90.5 WKAR ID. It`s a rare day to hear any NPR on MW here, so thank you, MSU in East Lansing MI, even if you don`t want to mention you are still also on AM. Is 10 kW D3. Pattern favors the NW, but no deep nulls elsewhere. LSR/LSS are 1145-2300 UT in Oct; 1230-2215 in Nov

** ALBANIA. 9590, Oct 24 at 0525, Chinese song // 9515, so both must be CRI Arabic service via Cërrik relay: yes, 9515 is 240 degrees, 9590 is 140 degrees. Long song almost sounded like Jesus rock, but surely not, finally ending by 0534, into Arabic ID and talk (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ALBANIA. Drita Çiço explains that the new curtailed R. Tirana schedule for Oct 21-29 did not go into effect after all, so the cuts are not expected to happen until Oct 30 with B-11 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Oct 24, after 1230:
10300, poor at 1233
11500, fair at 1233, making fast SAH with open carrier from Tajikistan
12230, good at 1234
12600, very poor at 1235
13130, good at 1235
13970, good at 1235; none in the 14s, 15s or 16s
Before 1400:
18200, very poor at 1348
16100, very poor at 1358; none in the 17s
15545, good at 1358
14700, very good at 1359
13970, very good at 1359
12230, very good at 1359
10300, fair at 1359; none in the 11s, 7s
Before 1500, a time I don`t often check, found some unusual ones:
11550, good at 1442 making heavy clash with WEWN Spanish, its only good transmitter, Commies vs Catholix!
12670, very good at 1444; Sound of Hope must be adventurous today
13680, very good at 1446, over RHC, Commies vs Commies!
13970, very good at 1446; none in the 14s
18200, good at 1454; none in the 15s, 16s, 17s

** CUBA [non]. 23860, Oct 24 at 1456, my harmonic search pays off, with music // 11930, i.e. R. Martí, Greenville! Peaks S9+3 and no jamming audible, so DentroCubans should hunt for clear RM on this and other harmonix. Then looked for others, 27640 (2 x 13820) but not heard there amid freebanders tending to be on -5 frequencies; nor on 23690 (2 x 11845). From B-11, 15330 will be back in use at 14-20, and that should be a good target on 30660, which I vaguely recall hearing in years past.
But there`s more: R. Martí is now on 9955, i.e. via WRMI! I kept listening to 23960 and heard it announced at 1500 to tune for RM on new 9955 at 6-7 pm and 11-12 pm. Is this a trial run? Those Eastern times knock out numerous DX program repeats, including WORLD OF RADIO at 0330 UT Thursdays. This week, with both Cuba and USA on DST, that means 22-23 and 03-04 UT; is it daily?
Next week, From Oct 30 Cuba goes off DST a week earlier than USA, so what then? Will WRMI change times to keep up with Cuba, or wait another week to shift everything one UT hour later, i.e. RM relay at 23-24 and 04-05?? Nothing yet about this on WRMI website.
Jeff White explains that at 22-23 UT it`s a rebroadcast of `Cuba al Día` originally airing on RM at 19-20 UT M-F, and will stay at 22-23 UT thru the first week of November; while the ``11 pm`` portion may not start until after DST is over.
I say: WRMI has now made the big time in exile programming, and Cuba conveniently already has jammers set up for 9955 at many other times (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY [non]. 15330, Oct 24 at 1448, novelty song in German. It`s less than a week before Deutsche Welle self-destructs, eliminating all German SW broadcasts, as that language will greatly decline in world presence, leaving only some English and certain strategic Afro-Asian tongues from DW. Later at 1454 found // 17840 in more music.
15330 is 300 kW, 107 degrees from Woofferton UK at 14-15 only.
17840 is 250 kW, 80 degrees from Sines, PORTUGAL at 14-15 only
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 15630, Monday Oct 24 at 1449, Greek music, fair signal but somewhat undermodulated, so VOG is back on, starting at 1400 now? Exact curtailed schedule still not determined. Also, John Babbis notes:
``VOICE OF GREECE OFF ON SUNDAY 2000-0300 UT? Voice of Greece seems to have laid off the Sunday night shift due to austerity. On Sunday, October 23, 7450, 7475, 9420, 15630, and 15650 were silent when I monitored from 2000 to 0200 UT. The same thing happened on Sunday, October 2 and 9; and only 9420 was working on Sunday, October 16 from 2000 to 0200 UT`` Those are the only hours he normally monitors, so VOG may well be off the rest of Sundays earlier.
However, Alokesh Gupta has just obtained the VOG B-11 schedule: ``Note: Due to impending crisis, ERT decided to restrict HF broadcast hours. The broadcast hours temporarily will be 1600 to 0400 GMT.`` with no mention of any difference on Sundays. Rounded times ignoring 10-minute-early closings for refrequencing:
ERA-5: 16-04 9420;
16-18 15630, 18-23 15650, 23-02 15630, 23-04 7475, 02-04 7450.
ERT-3, Macedonian Station: 16-18 9935, 18-23 7450. With a self-contradictory separate schedule as 1600-1650 9935, 1600-2250 7450, while in the combined schedule it looks like there would be no overlap but a 10-minute QSY at 1750. Note: the Mac frequencies have recently been reported // Athens with no separate programming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9525-, VOI still missing at various tunebies before and after 1300 UT Oct 24 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MAURITANIA. 7245, Oct 24 at 0522, IGIM is already on with conversation in Arabic, not yet chanty; ACI from about equal Vatican signal on 7250, but more modulation from them (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Pre-sunrise MWDX Oct 24, UT. 1200 UT is now too far before local sunrise latening from 1245, for there to be any SRS reception peaks, and the US QRM is still heavy. Before long maybe we`ll be getting multiple XE NAs around 1300.
Most of Mexico will go off DST Oct 30, a week earlier than USA, but there is so much American commercial influence along the border that such cities will keep on DST a week longer until Nov 6 along with US, a true Week Of Confusion. See also CUBA [non].
760, Oct 24 at 1205 UT, ABC Radio introducing Carlos Ramos Padilla, newscaster? In the DF sexion, Cantú says: ``760 XEABC ABC Radio, Comentarios, Programas hablados. 70,000 watts día, 10,000 watts noche desde San Sebastian Chimalpa, Mex. Grupo ABC Radio.`` So transmitter is over in Estado de México (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 15120, Oct 24 at 0529, VON is peaking S9+12, with hum, whine and distortion, but not too bad, carrier unstable with BFO on, starting `Today in History` segment, with something happening in 1648y, then 1945y, UN founded. Say, when matching dates in the 1600s, is that by the old style or new style calendar?? Had not been audible last few nights, due to widely diverging propagation and/or operation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES. 7505, Oct 24 at 1440, soprano with hymny song in language unknown; poor signal but it`s late enough for WWCR 7490 splash to be reduced and not a problem now. Is FEBC Iba site, 100 kW, 300 degrees in Chinese per HFCC and Aoki. I`m waiting for someone to list-log this as WRNO, which has really been off the air for 11 months now, never to return?? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non]. 17695, Oct 24 at 1343, BBCWS disclaimer loop, ``no programming available at this time, see bbcworldservice.com`` but I am not going to waste my time hunting for any explanation at that site! There better not be any such programming, as per HFCC, 17695 is scheduled 1330-1600 for IBB Biblis, tho Aoki says R. Farda Lampertheim.
Loop ended around 1344, and then hearing S Asian song synchronized with // 17755 which is also listed as R. Farda, Biblis in Aoki; Lampertheim in probably more current HFCC. 17695 still heard with ME pop music at 1453. Maybe BBC was running over from its only scheduled 17695 broadcast, 1300-1330 Uzbek via CYPRUS which of course is also jammed by the ChiCom (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WRMI now relaying R. Martí; R. Martí on harmonic: see CUBA [non]
** U S A. Routine check for WORLD OF RADIO play on Area 51, scheduled UT Monday 0300 on WBCQ 5110v-CUSB, on webcast found Radio Jennifer instead continuing past 0300 and 0330 Oct 24, so I asked Larry Will:
``Larry, Wondering what happened to WOR tonight as Jennifer ran until 0330, then `a hi-pitched buzz`, and then not WOR or IRR. I see you have Duck & Cover on the sked for 0330, but WOR at 0300. Glenn``
``Glenn, My apologies. WOR did air at 0200 last evening. When I realized it was running early it was 12 minutes in, so I left it running and played R. Jennifer at 0230. Second, CKUT is doing their annual fundraising drive over the next two weeks and I don't like to play fundraisers for other stations. Next week I will probably play a classic rebroadcast of the IRR. Regards, Lw``
Also, on the frequency change for WBCQ from 7415 to 7490: Altho Marion`s Attic alerted listeners it would be in effect Sunday Oct 23 for her broadcast at 21-22, I did not monitor as in the meantime I received a phone call from Jennifer Weiner, who said 7490 would not start until Oct 24.
Also that WORLD OF RADIO is not scheduled on Wednesdays at 2130, contrary to updated 7490 website schedule, just Thursdays at 2130. Let`s see how much QRM WBCQ gets on 7490 now from Kazakhstan at 19-22, BBC Thailand at 22-24. WOR will stay at 2130 for another two weeks, then 2230 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Hi Glenn: In regards to the Unidentified - 1110 [with Qur`an?], this station is very strong in the Austin area. Heard tonight with a woman announcer speaking in Indian dialect and English at times. Frequently, telephone numbers were mentioned with 214/972 area codes (Dallas area). Station disappeared abruptly at 2358 and did not catch station ID. Regards, (Mike Beu, KD5DSQ, Austin, Texas, Oct 22, IRCA via DXLD)
** U S A. 1550, Oct 24 at 0545 UT, dominant station on the FRG-7 with east/west longwire is going on and on about events at Branson, so it`s KLFJ Springfield, ``Branson Information Radio``, a pseudo-TIS supposedly running only 28 watts at night instead or 5000 watts day (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1630-USB, Oct 24 at 0547, Mexican music, ``16-30 AM, nuestra frecuencia, nuestro nombre La Jota Mexicana``. There had been several logs all over North America of KRND Fox Farm WY on USB, meaning that other DSB stations such as KCJJ could be heard on 1630-LSB without KRND QRM. Yes, indeed, much more KRND modulation on USB, but there is still a little audible on LSB via the DX-398, and at the moment not much else. It does not seem like the carrier is reduced. At night, local KFXY 1640 DSB not much of a problem, but there is a fast SAH on 1630, perhaps 14 Hz as Rick Shaftan, NJ, had asked if that`s the one on 1630.014? The big question is, why is KRND doing this, and is it deliberately, or even legally? It would be quite a surprise if FCC authorized suppressing one sideband on an AM station. I don`t see any reason to do so, such as to reduce interference to any 1620 station (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific MW carrier search Oct 24 at 1211-1216 UT, USB mode on the DX-398 with internal antenna only: 702, 747, 756, 774, 828, 972, 1053, 1287 (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
It was such a nice fall afternoon that I spent over an hour outside on the sunny porch, DXing with the DX-398 initially on battery, but hooked up AC once I decided to stay a while. Plus random wire antenna strung around the area. In a couple days the temps are to plummet here. This dalliance will probably make me hustle to get caught up in time for the next WORLD OF RADIO produxion on Wednesday evening.
** ALBANIA. 13735, no trace of R. Tirana at 1855 or 1958-2000+ Oct 24, for the 1845 and 2000 English broadcasts, which will supposedly last one more week. It`s really catch-as-catch-can with this station. Presumed Kuwait was making it thru poorly on 13650; and better YFR via Wertachtal on 13750 until 1900 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHILE [and non]. 17680, Oct 24 at 1452, CVC La Voz which is normally loud and clear all day, has heavy CCI and a SAH varying around 5 Hz, from something playing Afro/Asian(?) music. In fact, BBC Somali, 300 kW, 160 degrees via CYPRUS has been scheduled since 19 July at 1300-1600, but I hadn`t noticed it before vs CVC which is 100 kW at 0 degrees (or non-direxional?). So far it looks like this problem will go away in B-11, but UAE could be on 17680 from 10 to 17 --- many of those registrations are wooden (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 13800, Oct 24 at 1856 Firedrake with fair signal; could not do complete bandscan with the DX-398 but did punch up most of the common FD frequencies heard earlier in the day, and none others found. Expected it to vanish at 1900, but continued past 1903, and for the next hour still at 1941, 1953, but gone at 2001. Unlike Sound of Hope which gets a break at the top of every hour, target here is R. Free Asia in Chinese via Tajikistan at 17-20 which would usually be jammed by CNR1. Aoki shows SOH could also appear on 13800 24 hours (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 28505-USB, Oct 24 at 1924, I`d recognize that Arnienglish anywhere, yes, you guessed it, mes amis, CO2KK in person, explaining how Cuba is a big Antille, plus 4000 little islands in an archipelago, to KB1PXX in Connecticut (also audible), who hopes one day to SCUBA in Cuba. Arnie says the best place is Maria la Gorda (Fat Mary) off Pinar del Río province, where there are coral reefs, commercial and spearfishing prohibited, visibility up to 30 meters. Also reveling in great 10m propagation now, band opens at sunrise from Eurafrica. KB1 keeps trying to wrap up contact, but Arnie adds to look out for club station T46A this weekend in the CQ WW SSB contest. 1927 Arnie calls CQ DX 10m, fonetix mostly as kilo-kilo, but sometimes as King-Kong, ha2 (So Arnie is the 8000-pound gorilla in the Raum?), next contact another Connecticutter, John, AB1NT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 15540, Oct 24 at 1904, R. Kuwait is fair in Arabic, not English. At first I hoped it was just a clip about to be translated, but no. 18-21 on 15540 has always been registered as Arabic, and RK`s delegate with the amazing eyebrows at HFCC Dallas believed that info when I mentioned that the announcers were always giving the wrong frequency for English, 11990.
Now they may have `corrected` this by changing 15540 to Arabic, but we may still hope today`s language was another mistake. By 1940 had faded to very poor and could not be sure of language, but still seemed Arabic. I also had their intentional Arabic service poorly on 13650 before 1900; but after 2000 when supposedly on 17550 to C&WNAm, that was inaudible, not surprisingly since lower 15540 was about gone. Further chex of which language is on 15540 at 18-21 are of course called for. As well as whether they will ever really use 11990, which they really need to during B-seasons if English is to propagate (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1600, KUSH Cushing is still off the air, no signal Oct 24 at 1910 UT check.
KUSH has an active website with recent local news, but nothing about being off the air:
http://www.1600kush.com/index.php?section=1
Nor on Facebook:
http://www.facebook.com/1600kush?ref=ts
Is everyone just listening online and don`t even notice if 1600 is missing? This is the link:
mms://nick9.surfernetwork.com/kush
and we got it right away at 2320 UT, but not really live, instead the 7-10 am `Donna & Molly Show` playback. Besides that, it appears the streaming is limited to live silly ballgames.
They don`t display a complete program schedule; what`s at 10-11 am? Then `The Michael Smerconish Show` at 11-1 M-F, Neal Boortz at 1-4 pm; what`s after 4 pm? Then plugs yahoosportsradio at 7 pm to 7 am on the web. Does this mean KUSH is not bothering to stay on air at night?
One more show may be of interest if they get back on the air:
``Native Air with Hugh Foley, 10-11 AM Saturdays Native American News, Music and more!``.
FCC AM Query shows SR/SS in October 1230-2345 UT, November 1300-2315, with 1000 watts day, 70 watts night. NRC AM Log adds PSRA of 500 watts, i.e. 1100-1230 UT in Oct, 1100-1300 first week of November, 1200-1300 thereafter on standard time.
In absence of KUSH I could hear a weak SAH, a bit stronger at 2002 UT with music from one N/S station, likely KRVA The Metroplex Vietnamese. The other could be one of the two Nebraskans, KNCY Nebraska City, or KRFS Superior, both 500 watts. NRC AM Log says KNCY is direxional, KRFS not.
Come to think of it, there has not been an audible het on 1600 for a while, previously pinned on KMDO Fort Scott KS, 770 watts non-direxional, so maybe that`s been fixed. But I was not getting a signal from its ENE direxion. In less than a month, skywave will be kicking in by 20 UT on the top of the band, but don`t think so yet, as no such activity heard in the X-band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 23860, Oct 24 at 1858, R. Martí harmonic 2 x 11930 from Greenville is still audible and readable, escaping DentroCuban jamming on the fundamental [see earlier Oct 24 log report under CUBA non]. And still at 2000 talking about human rights declaration. Span of 11930 is currently 14-24, to become 13-22 in B-11. I again stepped thru the entire 23-25 MHz range but no more harmonics found, nor where RM could also appear, 19130; and 27640 bore a freebander in SSB.
Meanwhile the new WRMI 9955 relay of R. Martí was inaudible under jamming but at 2240 `Cuba al Día` confirmed on WRMI webcast, and it`s not // live Martí (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. I am finally hearing some activity in the upper portion of the 28 MHz ham band: On 29540-NBFM, VG signal slope-tuned at 29538 for distorted readability on AM, Oct 24 at 1919, NU6O, Joe in California concluded contact with K3ORH, immediately on to another contact.
29010, Oct 24 at 1922, VG signal on AM from WA3GHM in Levittown PA, with WB5YBZ which I could not hear (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) More 10m: see CUBA [and non]
** U S A. Disregard my earlier comment about Kazakhstan kolliding with WBCQ on 7490 at 18-22: that does not start until Oct 30, B-11. Supposed sign-on is 1900 UT, but I could not hear anything of it (nor on 7415 in case there was a delay); band very noisy, plus probably computer QRN peak around there, which was still running inside. Checked at 1900, and several more times. 1943 a JBA carrier on 7490, unknown if WBCQ, still nothing readable after 2000. Meanwhile as usual there was no problem in hearing WBCQ on 15420-CUSB and 9330v-CUSB, except there`s nothing on those frequencies worth listening to (but yes, I know, they pay the bills).
Recheck at 2235, now 7490 is audible with WBCQ // 9330-CUSB, so financial show instead of Good Friends Radio Network? Yes, at 22-23 M-F, `Money Talk` is scheduled on both. No co-channel audible on 7490, but it may be different closer to the terminator (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 21678 approx., Oct 24 at 1913 I am getting some intermittent SSB talk, but can`t find a spot to demodulate it, an intruder apparently employing speech inversion, sneaky (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. CODAR exploration on the DX-398 rapidly 5-kHz-stepping downward, Oct 24 at 1930: 25980-25745, break, 25705-25310 where there is a dip, then more down to 25200; QRMs freebanders here and there in the so-called 11m ISWBC band. More CODAR 24860-24600 and 24555-24445, and there is another freebander at 1935 on 24485 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
Onde medie... adriatiche!
Di seguito alcuni ascolti dalla solita postazione sulla costa adriatica; come sempre buona propagazione da est con le ormai "solite" (e ci metto le virgolette perchè rimango stupito ogni volta che arrivano) stazioni più potenti dall'est asiatico... sempre con tecsun pl660 e rgp3
