Glenn Hauser logs December 28-29, 2018

** ARGENTINA [non]. 5950 // 9395, Fri Dec 28 at 2240, WRMI in Italian mentioning Buenos Aires --- and also // 7780. So the RAE relay gets three transmitters this hour today (four if you count Spanish on 5010 only). Transmission skedgrid shows RAE Italian supposed to be on 7780 only, while 5950 & 9395 are supposed to be on WRN in the 22-23 hour (which had been DW in English). The program grids find RAE Italian only on System G (primarily Oldies) at 22-23 Mon-Fri on 7780 and 9395, but not 5950 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 12000, Dec 29 at 0552, RHC English is S9, so is this an harmonic of 6000, or intentional; or harmonic but deliberately not filtered out? I check 2 X all the other 6 MHz frequencies and no trace of harmonix from them: 12330, 12200, 12120. 

At this hour English on 6000 & 6165 only; Spanish on weak 6100, strong 6060 & 5040. 0602 recheck, the last three have also switched to English, so 0600 is the nominal changeover time, at least tonight. I`m managing to doze before 0700 lately so unchecked which if any stay on another hour. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ERITREA [non]. 17545, Sat Dec 29 at 1529, talk and HOA music, best yet but still VP from the new clandestine at 15-16 Sat only via FRANCE. We still don`t have definite info about its name, source or mission, but Dave Kenny, UK, reported last week Dec 22:

``Not audible locally here in UK but heard again with a good signal on the TWR South Africa SDR. Opened at 1500 with Horn of Africa music, s/on ID and talks in vernacular (Tigrinya?). ID sounded like "Hababa Radio Samood", Language switched to Arabic at 1520 UT; Arabic ID (as last week) was "Idaat Sawt Alsmood" - or something like that. 73s Dave`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Dec 28 at 2301, I finally settle in to listen to M/W/F English from REE --- but already playing music, flamenco, and more music for the semihour, except for brief English ID at 2302, ``You are listening to the English language program of Spanish National Radio`` (not REE), and on to a song about Nochebuena. 2320 A Spanish REE ID inserted, so how is this really the ``English`` service, no spoken programming, rather music in Spanish? 2325 multi-lingual Happy New Year wishes. All four frequencies audible: // 12030 is as VG as 9690; 11940 good; 11685 quite weaker (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 5960, Dec 28 at 2301, no signal from VOT English to N America. Dozy sloppyrator at Emirler probably forgot to change frequency from previous broadcast, but I don`t have time to go hunting for it nor check whether 5960 appear belatedly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1962 monitoring: missed checking Sat Dec 29 at 1200 on Unique/WINB 9265 and new 1230 on WRMI 9955. Got to sleep sometime. Anyone hear them? 

Not confirmed Saturday Dec 29 at 1531 on HLR 9485-CUSB; no signal here, but a JBA carrier at UTwente SDR; and WOR may have been holiday pre-empted again this week, anyway. 

Confirmed NOT on WRMI 5950, Sat Dec 29 at 1715; is supposed to be carrying WRN at 15-18 UT, which would include WOR at 1700 Sat. Finally I am able to pull enough JBA signal to tell that it`s something in Spanish and with bits of music. At least no WOR today: per other obs, what`s really on 5950 is quite unpredictable with skedgrids ignored.

** U S A. 5950 // 9395, Fri Dec 28 at 2240, WRMI in Italian mentioning Buenos Aires --- and also // 7780. So the RAE relay gets three transmitters this hour today (four if you count Spanish on 5010 only). Transmission skedgrid shows RAE Italian supposed to be on 7780 only, while 5950 & 9395 are supposed to be on WRN in the 22-23 hour (which had been DW in English). The program grids find RAE Italian only on System G (primarily Oldies) at 22-23 Mon-Fri on 7780 and 9395, but not 5950.

So what will happen at 2300 today Fri Dec 28? 9395 // 5950 switch to SMTV where it is *not* scheduled. 7780 switches to Blalock the Blaster, `Full Gospel Hour` [sic] where it had been nominally for some time, 2300-2330 only. You never know what these frequencies will be carrying at the same hours from one day to the next.

0500-0700 UT is another span when WRMI runs different programming from one night to the next. UT Sat Dec 29 at 0552, Oldies on 5950 // much stronger S9+10 9395. 0556 VOA News starts --- oh2, 5 minute segment likely to get chopped short at hourtop --- but no, allowed to continue to conclusion 0601, commercial, and more Oldies on both.

BTW, checking the WRMI System B program skedgrid Dec 29, I see: `Media Netework Plus` [sic] Tuesdays at 6-7 pm EST = 23-24 UT, AND `Media Network +` [sic] Wednesdays at the same time --- and during this hour only, 5950 is supposed to duplicate 9955. MN+ on the skeds does not necessarily mean that particular program, but anything from PCJ Radio International; I have not tried to hear what (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5130.4, UT Sat Dec 28 at 0058, WBCQ with `Analog Telephone Show` ending with website something like analogtelephonesystemsshow.web.com but that doesn`t work nor any variations I try. What is it correctly? Includes lots of recordings of intercepts, tones, switching sounds of years ago, phone-phreaking I would like to hear. But reception here is too poor to get much out of it, UT Sats at 00-01. NOT on the WBCQ sked. And not part of Area 51 so assume it is not webcast. At 0059 a bit of switching confusion, seemingly about to go AWWW but instead on to `Intelligence Report` with Michigan militia guy Mark Koernke who is back in business after many years` silence.

7490.19 at 0100 Dec 29 is starting `Allan Weiner Worldwide`, stronger than // 9330.004, almost on-frequency! Both these were much stronger an hour ago but are fading down now, so over to John Carver`s report on AWWW:

``Dead air this evening on 7490 at the top of the hour but soon the familiar strains of the theme song start. Allan in the studio in FLA by himself this evening as Angela is off on her own. Allan lamenting the end of the year, referring to it as the year of the moonbat.

First phone call at 0106 from a gruff caller who probably could be called a moonbat. Complaining about the Cubans, Russians and commies in general who are taking over our government. Meanwhile an annoying, pumping hiss in the background of the audio. Freddie calls at 0121 and the topics go all over the place. Strange show this evening. The usual support for Trump but also warnings again from Allan about the coming year and possible financial problems. Urges everyone listening to have at least two weeks worth of food, water, fuel and money along with weapons to defend it.

After phone call Allan states that he and Angela will be back in Maine by the middle of February so that he, Tom and Timtron can begin work on installing the transmitter for the superstation. New on the air date for the new station is July 1st with some testing earlier in the year. He also stated that most of the work on the 3265 transmitter is done now and once it's up he might run it 24/7.

Another pro Trump phone call. The caller does state that 9330 is working this evening as that's what he's listening on. Freddie calls again at 0150 to say that he agrees with the previous caller and more Trump talk ensues. Reading of the Free Radio Report at 0156 and closing prayer at 0159. Program was off the air at 0201. 7490 was also off the air shortly after that. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5970, Dec 29 at 0552, WEWN Spanish is back, after missing for a few nights (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

30 Aniversario de La Voz de las Cañas

Hoy sábado día 29 de Diciembre se cumplen 30 años de la primera emisión de La Voz de las Cañas, una emisora de Onda Corta situada cerca de Madrid y que estuvo emitiendo programación "tropical" en la banda de radiodifusión de 60 metros, frecuencia 5067,9 khz durante todo 1989 y principio de 1990. 

En años anteriores se ha celebrado el aniversario con alguna emisión especial aunque haya sido una portadora variable.http://moladx.blogspot.com/search?q=ca%C3%B1as

Grabación en Ivoox

Esto se publicó en un boletín de NORDX de la época: 

There was once a Madrid-based pirate working on 60 metres pretending to be a Venezuelan. However, the station faded in earlier than the real Venezuelans did. Also it was active during the weekend only. 

Trying to solve the problem with Dario Monferini, we noticed that fade in times were about the same in Milan as in Marbella where I was for a couple of days. The following step was to phone a DX-er in Valladolid, where the signal was reported as fair-to-good. I suggested the station could be based in central Spain. The DX-er I spoke to became very upset. How could I pretend that this "Venezuelan" was a fake originating in Spain? 

By checking "activity reports" in Play DX, I was finally ready to pinpoint the origin of this pirate, who at the end of the day QSL'd very nicely. That was in at the end of 1990 and early 1991. The name of the station? "La Voz de las Cañas". Frequency? 5070 (Henrik Klemetz via NORDX).

Felicidades y gracias a los jovenes entusiastas que pusieron en marcha y disfrutaron La Voz de las Cañas.

The K7RA Solar Update

No sunspots over our reporting week, December 20 – 26, so compared to the previous 7 days average daily sunspot number declined from 3.4 to 0. Average daily solar flux was 70, down slightly from 70.4. Average planetary A index increased from 4.1 to 4.3, while average mid – latitude values went from 3 to 4.

Predicted solar flux is 69 on December 28 – January 4; 72 on January 5; 70 on January 6 – 13; 69 on January 14 – 18; 71 on January 19 – 26; 72 on January 27 – February 1; 70 on February 2 – 9, and 69 on February 10.

Predicted planetary A index is 8, 12, 8, 12, and 10 on December 28 – January 1, 5 on January 2 – 4, then 10, 10, and 8 on January 5 – 7; 5 on January 8 – 12; 8 on January 13; then 5, 5, and 12 on January 14 – 16; 5 on January 17 – 19; 8 on January 20; 5 on January 21 – 23; then 8, 12, 10, and 8 on January 24 – 27; 5 on January 28 – 29; 10 and 12 on January 30 – 31; 10 on February 1 – 2; 8 on February 3, and 5 on February 4 – 10.

Geomagnetic activity forecast for the period December 28, 2018 to January 23, 2019 from F.K. Janda, OK1HH:

• Geomagnetic field will be:
• Quiet on January 10 – 12, 22 – 23
• Quiet to unsettled on January 13, 19
• Quiet to active on December 28, 31, January 1 – 2, 9, 20
• Unsettled to active on December 29, (30,) January (3 – 5,) 6 – 8, 14, 17 – 18, 21
• Active to disturbed on January (15 – 16)
• Solar wind will intensify on December 28 – 31, January 1, (3 – 4,) 5 – 7, (8, 13 – 14,) 15 – 16, (17 – 19) 

Parenthesis means lower probability of activity enhancement.

Al Brown, W1VTP, of Manchester, New Hampshire sent this email:

“I manage The Vermont Net on 3,975 kHz at 2330 UTC. We have been having propagation issues since November. I recall similar difficulties back in 2009 and it straightened out somewhere around mid Feb 2010. I have used the foF2 map put out by the Australian government for some time, but it doesn’t always make sense. I understand that Amateur Radio operators are mostly interested in DX propagation, but some of us have regional nets with average distance of 100 miles.

“Do you have any other explanation where I could predict propagation for a given night? I’m thinking it may have something to do with a disturbance in the magnetosphere and the effect of coronal dark holes when pointed at earth but do not have any reference material to back that up.

“The closest thing I have is that foF2 map but it doesn’t always work out that way.”

We covered the same issue in this bulletin in the past. This happens when sunspot numbers are too low to support local propagation on 75/80 meters. We might think of local nets in that part of the spectrum using groundwave propagation, but for wider coverage beyond line-of-sight it depends on high angle signals reflecting back from the ionosphere.

This is why NVIS antennas are useful. When I asked K9LA about this, Carl responded: “The MUF can be low enough that high angle 75/80-meter signals go thru the ionosphere at night during the winter (especially at solar minimum). As you know, with high-angle signals, the MUF is pretty close to foF2, so foF2 could be a good indicator. You may have to modify foF2 a bit based on distance. And having an ionosonde near you would be best.”

Here is a site with a number of links to ionosondes:

http://giro.uml.edu/IonogramMovies/

Note the link to Millstone Hill, which may be the closest ionosonde to W1VTP.

Click on the MHJ45 link.

Clicking on that link goes to a page with ionosonde data from 1992 to 2018.

If you click on 2018, it will take you to links for all 12 months of the year. Click on December, and click on the latest date, and you will see links for every 15 minutes of the day. I clicked on the latest one, which was for 0930 UTC at the time. It showed the foF2 value at 2.45 MHz, which is too low to support local high angle coverage for 75 meters, but 160 meters should work.

I see there are links to ionosondes at Wallops Island (Virginia), Boulder (Colorado), Eglin AFB (Florida), Idaho National Labs, and many other locations around the globe.

K9LA suggested that the net could QSY to 160 meters when this happens.

This is the ionogram I am looking at currently.

You see MHz on the X axis and timing on the Y axis. A chirp signal is swept across the HF spectrum, and the wispy looking echoes are what comes back. The various timings reveal the elevation of ionized layers. This tool should help to get a handle on this propagation problem.

From 0000 – 2359 UTC on January 1, is the annual ARRL Straight Key Nightoperating event.

Tamitha Skov put out this video shortly after ARLP051 was released last week, so this is a little out of date. Check here for her more recent dispatches.
