[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs October 6, 2022

** CANADA. Responses to my obs of ``no report received`` from Trenton
Military:

In the UDXF iog: ``Michael Scheel, Oct 5 #111948, After seeing that
Glenn Hauser reporting via his log online that he hadn't heard Trenton
for a while. I tried it just now (2032z) and hearing it weak but
readable via a SDR in the Midwest. The broadcast consisted of a roll
call of several terminals with "no report received".`` 

And Oct 5-6 on the WOR iog: ``Tuned into Trenton Military on 6754 kHz
starting at 0031 UTC (S9+20 signal into central NC) and heard several
actual weather reports for Shannon, Prestwick (sp?), and Keflavik,
however after that, everything else was "no report received" for all
other locations (Shearwater, Greenwood, Gander, Halifax, Trenton,
Bagotville, Ottawa, Toronto, Calgary, Cold Lake, Winnipeg, Edmonton,
Abbotsford, Comox, Victoria, Vancouver). As usual the station clock
reports the current Eastern Daylight Time as Zulu time.  

After a 0059 UTC sign off, it started up again around 0112 with many
"no report received" observations until 0130 when there were three
additional reports that were not "no report received" for Zagreb,
Split, and Thule. They certainly have a nice antenna farm -

** CANADA. 28197 CW, Oct 6 at 1528, after getting some California
beacons, one JBA here, starting with V-. Only listed at WI5V roster is
VE7MTY, Pitt Meadows BC, 25 watt vertical; I`ve heard before last Oct,
Nov, Dec, Jan and before then too (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Oct 6 at 1935 checking for RHC English, no signal into
Maryland SDR; 1937 checking Missouri, cuts on and off and on at S7/S9.
Something`s always wrong at RHC. The Other Side:

For Castroism, the misery in which Cuba languishes is only 1% its
responsibility. Everything else is the Americans' fault, according to
calculations by the country's Energy and Economy ministers on national
TV...``

Hardison replies: ``Amerikan yachts tend to gravitate toward
well-heeled Republicans. Former Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos,
for example, was known to have 11 yachts of her own, to ply the waters

** SPAIN. 17855, Friday October 6 at 2200, token English from SNR, VG

Picasso Year, 50th anniversary of his death. With art museum person
mainly discussing influences upon him. Lacking any visual element

** CUBA. 6140, Oct 6 at 0642, JBA carrier, presumed leapfrog mixing
product of RHC 6060 over 6100 another 40 kHz beyond, as possible when
both those be on, even tho 6100 be S9/+10 of dead air, and 6060
S9+10/20 of undermodulated English, none others. Something`s always
wrong at RHC. The Other Side:

``Opinion - Editorial: As Cubans take to the streets to protest, where
are Díaz-Canel and Raúl Castro? To crack down on the population now,
when international aid is being sought to solve their problems, would
be an inexcusable contradiction in the public's eyes.
DDC Madrid 03 Oct 2022 - 15:04 CEST

Cubans are once again taking to the streets to protest and make
demands of the Government, as their living conditions have
deteriorated significantly in recent days, and this is not because of
the hurricane that recently affected the western provinces.

All of Cuba is languishing without electricity and, therefore, in a
dire state in terms of access to food and hospital care, to cite just
two of the main deficiencies being suffered. Meanwhile, where is
Miguel Díaz-Canel? Where is Raúl Castro?`` ...

** CUBA. 5025, Oct 6 at 0648, S9+10/20, Spanish about weather and
power outages, presumed R. Rebelde reactivated rather than RHC, which
briefly occupied 5025 in a mixup with 5040 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF
RADIO 2159)

** KIRITIMATI [and non]. 846 kHz, Oct 6 at 0632, JBA carrier presumed
R. Kiribati; only other 9/kHz carriers in bottom half are 774 and 684,
likely Spain remnants. Distance between Sevilla and Xmas I is 14736 km
= 9157 stmi = 7957 nmi, tho we are hardly at the midpoint which would
be circa Churchill, Manitoba. Simultaneous TA/TP demonstrates what
great DX range MW can have; if only obstructive AM would be abolished
in N America. Gary Pence was getting 846 weakly into Hawaii SDR at
0503 today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2159)

** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, Oct 6 at 1501, V of Martyrs/Korea, already
YL in presumed Dhivehi instead of English, S9+10/20, the SSOB except
for Cuba and non on 11760, 11860, 11930, and of course blasting 12160
WWCR which just came up from 7490. However, 11825 is only S6/S8, the
admittedly Kununurra site for VOMK`s simulBurmese, belying my theory
that so is 11620. More about Maldives:
