** BRAZIL. 9665.34, Nov 19 at 0102, Voz Missionária with full ID including 10 kW on 5940 from Santa Catarina state; fair signal, remains the best from Brasil on 31m, and no het with Voice of Russia long gone (Glenn Hauser, oK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 5965, Nov 19 at 1501, very poor signal in Russian is the OSOB by now, and I figure it will be CRI: yes, per Aoki, this hour is 500 kW, 55 degrees from Beijing site. That aims across DVR including Petropavlovsk/Kamchatsky, tip of Aleutian Islands, but considerably offshore west of North America. The azimuth from Beijing to Enid is more like 25 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. 6020, Nov 19 at 1344, not CNR1 but song, announcement in uncertain language. Presumed as in Aoki, CNR8 service, 100 kW, 15 degrees from Beijing 491 site, in Mongolian at 12-14 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. 9790, Nov 19 at 1505, Firedrake jammer with good signal and also CCI from victim, RFA Saipan in Chinese, this hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. 11500, Nov 19 at 1355, CNR1 jammer, fair signal; at 1357 compared to 14870, not synchronized (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. 14870, Nov 19 at 1357, CNR1 jammer, fair signal; none in the 12s, 13s, 15s, 17s (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. 16160, Nov 19 at 1359, CNR1 jammer, poor until 1400 timesignal and modulation stops, but carrier remains on past 1402; next check 1458 open carrier with flutter is still/again on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 9580, Nov 19 at 0104, open carrier/dead air with some humbuzz from the alleged CRI English relay, which meanwhile is quite adequate via ALBANIA on 9570 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** PERU [non]. 5980, November 19 at 0053, a poor signal here with some modulation, and it`s not Spanish, but a tonal non-Chinese Asian language --- therefore, VOA Tibetan, 250 kW, 20 degrees from SRI LANKA, which we dreaded would be a Chaski-blocker per B-13 scheduling this hour only, plus the inevitable ChiCom jamming (which however is not audible now). I cannot detect any trace of R. Chaski under it. VOA cuts off at 0100:08* as always, and still, there is not a bit of any other carrier which there should be, if Chaski still be on the air, precessing 5.25 seconds later each night. The last time I heard it for sure was Nov 13, until 0103:53*, so by now, six nights later, it should have reached 0104:24.5* or so. I`ve been eagerly awaiting reports from Claudio Galaz in IV Chile, the only other DXer who has been Chaski-checking almost every night. Now he reports on the condig list that on Nov 16 at 0027 he was still hearing Chaski underneath the CNR1 jammer, but 23 hours later at 2316, no signal at all on the frequency; 24 hours later at 0034 Nov 17, only the CNR1 jammer (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SPAIN. 21630, Nov 19 at 1410, REE is still here and colliding with BBC Hausa via Ascension during this semihour; both poor, as REE continues on mis-frequency after correcting it Nov 16-17 only, to 21640 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U K. 6055, Tuesday Nov 19 at 0620, fair signal in French I had not noticed before, with splash from 6060 Cuba. Could it be Nikkei with a lesson? No, it`s BBC southward via Woofferton during this semihour only. It could also have been Rwanda, but per Aoki, RRR takes a break from 0525 to 0900, except on Sundays when it too is in French at 0600-0900 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5110-CUSB, Nov 19 at 0058, WBCQ playing the IS-and-ID loop ``The Planet``, before 0100 programming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5050-USB, Nov 19 at 0107 check, WWRB is *not* on here after running it about a week, // 3215-AM. Remains to be heard whether sporadic, and/or will be on when next WORLD OF RADIO 1696 comes around Friday at 0430 // 3195-AM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 14757.5 approx., Nov 19 at 1417, tone melody reminiscent of a slow VOA Radiogram. Requires BFO to be heard at all, as frequency shifts are slight, and of course different pitches depending on where the BFO be set. Also like a native-American flute, but seemingly random notes, or the `bagpipe` station. Here`s a brief sample: http://www.w4uvh.net/14757tones.rm If anyone can recognize the source, mode or even decode it, please do (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 1647 UT November 19 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list hard-core...@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
