Glenn Hauser logs May 28-29, 2019
** CANADA. 15034-USB, May 28 at 1445, Trenton Military, CHR ``no report received`` from Halifax, Gander, Greenwood, Shearwater; but has heard from Bagotville as of 1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15369.25, May 28 at 2122, JBA carrier; must be the RHC transmitter previously caught knocked off a similar amount below 13740 and 7380 upon occasion. 15370 is the European service scheduled 1930-2300 per EiBi. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11760, May 28 at 2126 RHC Spanish is S9 but suptorted; wiggle that patchcord. While 11850 is undermodulated but not distorted. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5040, UT Wed May 29 at 0538, this RHC English frequency, S9+30/20, is the only listenable one with normal modulation level, altho somewhat rough during `DXers Unlimited` as Arnie runs lickety-split and slurred with something about a 52-cm antenna, soon finishing. I had already checked: 6000 JBM/suptorted at S9+10/20; 6060 OFF; 6100 JBM S9+30; 6165 JJBBM S9+10. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1230, May 28 at 2115 UT and May 29 at 1333, WBBZ Ponca City still completely off the air, probably due to flooding. This is supposedly the website, with nothing about it, forwarded here after clicking on a 1230 link! https://www.poncapost.com/sunny-104-7 See also UNIDENTIFIED (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1580, May 28 circa 1400 UT, KOKB Blackwell is still dead air on open carrier. At least it is on the air, altho accomplishing nothing. In previous report under USA daytime bandscan, I called it KLTR! It`s really been KOKB since --- 3/20/84, 35 years ago. Oops. Fixed:
1580, KOKB Blackwell OK, now it`s 1909 UT, dead air, while sibling
1020 KOKP Perry OK is nominal. There has been flooding in Blackwell.
But why? Somehow the program feed from Stillwater studio has been cut. Why not turn off the transmitter in the meantime? Maybe site is inaccessible by flooding, and/or there is no funxional remote control --- now or never?
Still on with dead air at 2115 UT check May 28, and at 1333 UT May 29. Nothing about this found on the website https://www.eteamradio.com/ Flooding in Blackwell is still reported May 29 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAO TOME. 9830, May 28 at 0642, poor signal in African language. HFCC Shows Deutsche Welle in Hausa this semihour only, 100 kW at 0 degrees, i.e. north toward Nigeria rather than non-direxional? Just like another broadcast on same at 1800-1900 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 12030, May 28 at 2128 REE in music but not // 9690 & 11940, altho all are scheduled in Spanish, 12030 being the odd one with ME target, even tho it`s always better here off the back, than 11940 for South America. At 2130, 12030 5+1 TS, into Arabic, ``Huna Madrid`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1983 monitoring: what will happen Wednesday May 29 at 2100? Will WRMI come on 9955 and stay on? Will WBCQ play 1982 or 1983 on 7490+v at 2100 and/or 2130? More predictable will be UT Thursday May 30 at 0100 on WRMI 7780 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5830, May 29 at 0533, S9+30/40 of dead air from SFAW via WTWW-1, still so at 0545 check. Coincidentally, 5935, WWCR-2 also dead air of S9+20/30 at 0537, but resumed PMS by 0545. At least 5890 dead air is not on now. BTW, WWCR skeds at http://www.wwcr.com/transmitter-sched.html expire May 31. From June 1 there could be some adjustments in timespans, which in this version are complete as if 24 hours on each, even tho program skeds admit much less usage, especially of WWCR-4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1070-, May 28 at 2115 UT, and May 29 at 1333 UT, KFTI Wichita KS is still off the air. Nothing about this at website https://www.classiccountry1070.com/ which even still refers to its old call KFDI! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1230, trying to get some DX while semi-local WBBZ Ponca City is off; at least KADA. Best times will be circa SR/SS for nearby skywave but not full of graveyard QRM. May 28 at 1408 UT is really too late, but I do detect two or three JBA carriers. May 29 at 0058, vs storm noise from SE OK, have some music looping NW/SE as Ada would be; NRC AM Log says format is rock as ``Pirate Radio 102.3``; at 0102 end Fox News theme from N/S. Guess what, there is not a single 1230 in Kansas. Two in Nebraska, neither listed as Fox. Texas? Ten, of which two are SS, and the only TX Fox in the Log is KWTX Waco, but that`s hardly enough to go on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9200, May 29 at 0548, mystery open carrier at S8; it`s the second SSOB as 31m is almost dead except for good 9700 NZ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

W4HM Solar
Cycle 24 Update and Solar Cycle 25 Forecast- Short and to the
point.
Solar minimum
will begin later in 2019-2020 and may last longer than any previous solar cycle
in the 20th century. When solar cycle 25 finally gets underway it could be the
weakest since the middle of the 19th century. Another “Dalton” type lesser grand
solar minimum may occur with a corresponding cooling of earth’s climate.
This would
negate anthropogenic climate change (harmful man induced global warming) if it
were occurring, WHICH IT ISN’T.
For more
“TRUTH” on the communist-marxist-socialist lie of anthropogenic climate change
(harmful man induced global warming) check out https://wattsupwiththat.com and
http://www.climatedepot.com
On February 1,
2008 I forecasted that solar cycle 24 would be the smallest solar cycle in the
past 100 years. That forecast verified. I also forecasted that solar cycle 25
would be almost non nonexistent SSN <50.

GLOBAL (HF-MF
3000-30000 kHz- 300-3000 kHz) RADIO WAVE PROPAGATION CONDITIONS
EXPECTED-
Radio wave
propagation condition “trend” on May 29, 2019- minor
deterioration.
Radio wave
propagation condition “trend” on May 30, 2019- steady.
Radio wave
propagation condition “trend” on May 31, 2019- improvement.
We are now
moving into the northern hemisphere HF-MF radio wave propagation summer
season.
The 14000-
30000 kHz frequency range closes later due to more sun light illuminating the
ionosphere than in the southern hemisphere. But the maximum usable frequency
(MUF) is lower than in the southern hemisphere as heating in the F2 layer of the
ionosphere is higher and the layer ions less concentrated.
Almost
daily during
the northern hemisphere summer season you will find that the 25600- 26100 kHz
and 28000-29700 kHz frequency ranges will open via short north-south and
east-west propagation paths via sporadic E (Es). Also when multiple sporadic E
(Es) clouds form and line up favorably much longer propagation paths open up on
east-west paths. And last but not least north-south propagation paths occur
across the equator via trans equatorial propagation
(TEP).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We
are now moving into the southern hemisphere HF-MF radio wave propagation winter
season.
The
approximate 11000- 30000 kHz frequency range closes sooner due to less sun light
illuminating
the ionosphere than in the northern
hemisphere. But the maximum usable frequency (MUF) is higher than in the
northern hemisphere as the F layer of the ionosphere is lower in height and the
ions more concentrated.
The
approximately 3000-10000 kHz frequency range often stays open for DX all
throughout the day due to a weaker D layer and therefore less RF signal
absorption.
A
weaker and shorter sporadic E (Es) season occurs during winter
time.

This HF-MF
Radio wave propagation forecast is produced based on the SIGINT_CAP HF-MF radio
wave propagation prediction software. X and O ray tracing is
included.
I wrote it
beginning in the late 1980’s and continue to refine it in 2019.
But I’m sorry
to say that it still can’t be distributed to the general public.
It does
outperform VOA CAP and Prop Lab.
I do check the
actual band conditions at my location in the USA and tweak the forecast manually
where and when necessary.
I also check
global HF-MF radio wave propagation conditions via remoted radio
receivers on
every continent of the globe and tweak the forecast manually if
and when
necessary.
And last but
not least I look at ionsonde stations on every continent of the
globe.
The hamateur
radio JT65A mode RF signal levels received are based on 5 watts
and ½ wave
dipole up at 40 feet.
The hamateur
radio PSK31 mode RF signal levels received are based on 25
watts and ½
wave dipole up at 40 feet.
The hamateur
radio CW mode RF signal levels received are based on 50 watts
and ½ wave
dipole up at 40 feet.
The hamateur
radio SSB RF mode signal levels received are based on 100 watts
and ½ wave
dipole up at 40 feet.
The HF
shortwave broadcast band AM Mode RF signal levels are based on
100,000 watts
(100 kw) and a typical high gain VOA type curtain array
antenna.
The MF
broadcast band AM Mode RF signal levels are based on 50,000 watts (50 kw) and an
omnidirectional vertical antenna.
Please keep in
mind that this is a relatively simplified HF-MF radio wave
propagation
forecast, so as to keep it easily understandable and applicable
by the average
radio enthusiast.

(MUF) is lower than in the southern hemisphere as heating in the F2 layer of the
ionosphere is higher and the layer ions less concentrated.
Almost
daily during
the northern hemisphere summer season you will find that the 25600- 26100 kHz
and 28000-29700 kHz frequency ranges will open via short north-south and
east-west propagation paths via sporadic E (Es). Also when multiple sporadic E
(Es) clouds form and line up favorably much longer propagation paths open up on
east-west paths. And last but not least north-south propagation paths occur
across the equator via trans equatorial propagation
(TEP).

We
are now moving into the southern hemisphere HF-MF radio wave propagation winter
season.
The
approximate 11000- 30000 kHz frequency range closes sooner due to less sun light
illuminating
the ionosphere than in the northern
hemisphere. But the maximum usable frequency (MUF) is higher than in the
northern hemisphere as the F layer of the ionosphere is lower in height and the
ions more concentrated.
The
approximately 3000-10000 kHz frequency range often stays open for DX all
throughout the day due to a weaker D layer and therefore less RF signal
absorption.
A
weaker and shorter sporadic E (Es) season occurs during winter
time.

This HF-MF
Radio wave propagation forecast is produced based on the SIGINT_CAP HF-MF radio
wave propagation prediction software. X and O ray tracing is
included.
I wrote it
beginning in the late 1980’s and continue to refine it in 2019.
But I’m sorry
to say that it still can’t be distributed to the general public.
It does
outperform VOA CAP and Prop Lab.
I do check the
actual band conditions at my location in the USA and tweak the forecast manually
where and when necessary.
I also check
global HF-MF radio wave propagation conditions via remoted radio
receivers on
every continent of the globe and tweak the forecast manually if
and when
necessary.
And last but
not least I look at ionsonde stations on every continent of the
globe.
The hamateur
radio JT65A mode RF signal levels received are based on 5 watts
and ½ wave
dipole up at 40 feet.
The hamateur
radio PSK31 mode RF signal levels received are based on 25
watts and ½
wave dipole up at 40 feet.
The hamateur
radio CW mode RF signal levels received are based on 50 watts
and ½ wave
dipole up at 40 feet.
The hamateur
radio SSB RF mode signal levels received are based on 100 watts
and ½ wave
dipole up at 40 feet.
The HF
shortwave broadcast band AM Mode RF signal levels are based on
100,000 watts
(100 kw) and a typical high gain VOA type curtain array
antenna.
The MF
broadcast band AM Mode RF signal levels are based on 50,000 watts (50 kw) and an
omnidirectional vertical antenna.
Please keep in
mind that this is a relatively simplified HF-MF radio wave
propagation
forecast, so as to keep it easily understandable and applicable
by the average
radio enthusiast.

** U S A. May 27 starting at 1900 UT, less than one semihour after local mean noon, bandscans on caradio from central Enid at a fairly quiet parking lot, at least so at the long end of MW/low end of MF. No storm noise now, but increasing line noise higher in the AM band. I skip over many frequencies, only some notable items:
530, `K530AM`, Vance AFB is still off and maybe gone forever, rather than inane loops of Ad Council PSAs, interspersed with occasional imaginary IDs and never heard with any traffic or emergency info. As in DXLD 18-30, it had been ``off the air again for a few days`` as of July 18, 2018 --- and never heard since despite regular chex. If it does resume, I shall be sure to report it.
560, fast SAH, maybe 20 Hz, presumably KWTO MO and KLZ CO at the limits of their groundwaves 300+ and 400+ miles. But MWOffsets has KLZ at .0000 and KTWO only 0.3 Hz away at .9997 --- nothing anywhere near 20 Hz away
630, JBA talk, presumably KHOW Denver with far better Ogallala Aquifer conductivity than KYFI St Louis beyond the Ozarx
650, JBA talk, presumably KGAB Orchard Valley WY (Cheyenne) as previously under optimum GW conditions, like the Denverites
670, ``Call to Freedom`` program with Denver address: KLTT Commerce City CO (Denver), a regular at the margins with 50 kW; no WSCR today
1070-, KFTI Wichita KS, country, is OFF! Very unusual; Memorial holiday break? Hope they are fixing their off-frequency-minus transmitter; yeah, sure. KNX beware. But this allows weak 1080 KRLD Dallas to be heard without splash. KFTI still off at 1948 check
1090, weak religious talk, no doubt 10 kW KEXS Excelsior Springs MO (Kansas City); highest frequency daytime GW from that area, 300+ miles, continues to amaze me
1130, KLEY Wellington KS, still OFF as has been for some weeks now
1190, medium SAH, presumably our two closest but also too far: KVSV Beloit KS, and KFXR Dallas TX
1230, WBBZ Ponca City OK, is OFF! Very unusual for this semi-local which has not been noted with any techdiffs. Another holidayer? Still off at 1949 recheck. Nothing else audible, like the only other Okie, which I *need*, KADA, where else but, Ada?
1460, KZUE El Reno OK, still on unlike offknocked by previous tornado. Spanish talk, and PSA in Spanish for ``The Marines``! So not plugged into Mexico City yet.
Re the name of the hmotel in El Reno hit by tornado, I finally got a glimpse on KFOR of their sign still standing, American Budget Inn, I think. Then reporter verbalized it: American Value Budget Inn, or Budget Value per the grafix. Confusing.
1580, KLTR Blackwell OK, now it`s 1909 UT, dead air, while sibling
1020 KOKP Perry OK is nominal. I think there has been flooding in Blackwell
88.3 and 92.1 Enid are still open carrier/dead air; nearby 89.3 & 90.3 are nominal.
93.5, rock?, fading in and out, Es? 1927 ``My Country 93-5``, so the only hit on the WTFDA Database is KKDT Burdett KS, 95 kW H&V, 304.8 meters. Why should a town of 247 have such a big radio station? Maybe because it`s midway between Jetmore and Larned. Wherever there happens to be a kilofoot tower available? Burdett is 248 km = 154 stmi NW from Enid. Tropo from KS is slightly enhanced
101.5, Spanish but not gospel huxter KOCD nearby Okeene, still off. Not to be faked out by ``La Mexicana``, fading 1918 ads and ID for 101.5 and 92.9, i.e. 100 kW KSMM Liberal KS way out by Guymon in the OK Panhandle, relaying 92.9 KMML Cimarrón KS (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
20 - 26 May 2019
Solar activity was very low. No sunspots were observed on the solar
disk and no Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available
coronagraph imagery.
No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at
normal levels on 20-21 May and normal to moderate levels on 22-26
May.
Geomagnetic field activity was at quiet to unsettled on 20 May and
26 May. The remainder of the reporting period was quiet.
Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
27 May - 22 June 2019
Solar activity is expected to be very low throughout the outlook
period.
No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is
expected to range from normal to high levels. High levels are
expected on 29 May - 02 Jun and moderate levels are expected on
03-12 Jun. Enhancements in electron flux are due to the anticipated
influence of multiple CH HSSs. The remainder of the outlook period
is expected to be at normal background levels.
Geomagnetic field activity is expected to range from quiet to active
levels. Early on 27 May, unsettled to active levels are possible due
to weak enhancements in the solar wind. Negative polarity CH HSS
influence is expected to produce unsettled to active conditions from
28-30 May and quiet to unsettled conditions from 31 May-02 Jun. The
remainder of the outlook period is expected to be mostly quiet under
nominal solar wind conditions.

Radio Sur Andina, new Peruvian from Sicuani on 4930 kHz
** PERU. 4930, May 19, 0034 --- UNID station, probably from Peru, heard last night (May 19) between 0034–0139 (suddenly closed down), hidden at the very side of a strong utility station. Still trying to find out what it could be. Its modulation was distorted and at the 0139 c/d the carrier remained on the air. Heard in the middle of Europe.
While studying my recording I found the following details of this UNID Spanish speaking station on 4930 kHz: The station announces 4930 kHz. Time is UTC –5h. ID/slogan sounds like this: “Radio Durantina Ticoni – onda corta tropical” = it sounds like this to my ears :-)
The modulation is distorted (quickly oscillating carrier within a few Hz?). Is it perhaps one of the two “Future Plan” stations in Cusco, Peru in the 60mb (4780 + 4800) according to WRTH?
In Cusco there was Radio San Miguel on 4930 kHz in the past (2008).
(Karel Honzik via RealDX via SW Bulletin May 19 via WORLD OF RADIO 1983, DXLD)
Then I find the complete and later thread about this at RealDX (gh)
Four days after I heard this UNID station it seems that no one else heard it anymore. Now I have placed the recording on my blog:
http://dx-kh.cz/2019/05/22/unid-4930-khz-jizni-amerika/
The station was not on the air since that night but last night when I had a carrier on 4930 kHz but much weaker than before. No modulation heard (Karel Honzik, 22 May, RealDX via DXLD)
I suggest he says "Radio Sur Andina Sicuani". Don´t know what station that could be, though. 73 (Torolf Johnsson, Sweden, May 22, ibid.)
Bingo!
https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?id=646449902472338&story_fbid=646509395799722
73, (Mauno Ritola, Finland, May 22, ibid.)
Torolf, now it is obvious that they say “Radio Norandina [sic] Sicuani”, but first someone has to come and suggest it :-) - thanks, Torolf!
Mauno, thanks for your link to FB where the inauguration is announced.
I am glad that I could discover this new station on the day when they went unexpectedly on the air. So the two “Future Plan” stations from Cusco (60mb) are still to come (Karel, ibid.)
Congratulations for a new station. The call for Radio Sur Andina is OAW7M. 73 (Fredrik Dourén, ibid.)
Fredrik, thank you very much ! (Karel, ibid.)
UNID on 4930 kHz - Peru? --- Part 3 CORRECTION
Of course it is “Sur Andina” (not Norandina), I am still excited of that discovery :-) (Karel, ibid.)

Radio Sur Andina, Sicuani 4930 kHz (Peru)
Publikováno 22.5.2019 | Autor: karelhonzik
Překvapivý objev neznámé stanice na kmitočtu 4930 kHz jsem udělal 19.5. po půlnoci. Nikde jsem o ní nenašel žádnou informaci. Ani v žádném DX médiu se zpráva o nové stanici neobjevila. Možná to bylo proto, že stanice byla hodně slabá a byla dobře schována, ba přímo nalepena, na boku silné utility stanice, která vysílá těsně nad 4930 kHz a neustále tam silně vrčí.
Až po 4 dnech jsem zjistil, že se jedná o úplně novou stanici z Peru a že začala vysílat v den, kdy jsem ji zachytil. Je to Radio Sur Andina, Sicuani z jižní části Peru. Vysílá z města Sicuani v regionu Cusco. Má registrační značku OAW7M. Kvůli zahájení vysílání v tropickém pásmu 60 metrů si založili facebookový profil a na něm je video ze slavnostního zahájení vysílání.
Typická pro tuto stanici je zkreslená modulace, jakoby nosná vlna rychle kmitala v rozmezí několik Hertzů sem a tam. Na spektru je nosná vlna poměrně široká, takže to tak asi bude. Pamatuji, že před několika lety jsem slyšel přesně stejně zkreslenou modulaci u jedné stanice z Peru na středních vlnách. Výkon vysílače není zatím znám, ale nebude asi vyšší než 1 kW.
Nahrávku pro tento blog jsem vybral z více než hodinu dlouhé pracovní nahrávky, kterou jsem pořídil mezi 0034 – 0139 UTC, kdy stanice najednou skončila bez jakéhokoliv odhlášení. Na pracovní nahrávce mám několik identifikací, tu nejvíce srozumitelnou jsem dal sem. V minutě 01:16 slyšíme ID: „Radio Sur Andina, Sicuani – onda corta tropical“.

Nahrávka je z 19.5.2019 a je sestříhána ze tří částí nahraných v době mezi 0034 – 0139 UTC.
Aby byla ID srozumitelnější, dal jsem sem ještě jednu nahrávku ze záznamu na Facebooku. Tam slyšíme ohlášení: „Radio Sur Andina, Sicuani – onda corta tropical / Son las 4 con 36 minutos“ (Radio Sur Andina, Sicuani – krátká tropická vlna / Jsou 4 hodiny a 36 minut):
