EMR DX - MVBR and R.City Relays this weekend (Tom Taylor) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2012 08:41:32 -0800 (PST) From: Glenn Hauser <wghau...@yahoo.com> To: d...@yahoogroups.com Cc: s...@mailman.qth.net Subject: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs December 11-12, 2012 Message-ID: <1355330492.17310.yahoomailclas...@web114015.mail.gq1.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 ** BELGIUM [non]. 17870-17875-17880 and beyond, Dec 11 at 2057 checked just in time to confirm that The Disco Palace tho missing yesterday is still running DRM noise here for the 20-21 UT hour via GUIANA FRENCH. It`s the OSOB, and when it goes off there are NO stations audible on the 16 m band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** BRAZIL. 11780, Dec 12 at 0647, no signal from RNA/RNB! This had been very reliable for many weeks. Checked // 6180 and it`s still on since recent reactivation, so now they are having trouble with the other transmitter. Continuing to monitor 11780, huge open carrier comes on at *0648-0651* without ever modulating (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 6165, Dec 12 at 0650, RHC English has usual huge signal, but only bits of unreadable modulation at peaks; wiggle that patchcord! How about the quartet of other overkill frequencies? 6125 modulation is OK, but as usual under-; 6060 with usual much weaker signal aimed Europaward has same deficient modulation as 6165. 6010 is nominal. At 0653, 5040 modulation is at medium-distortion level, but readable. 5025 R. Rebelde is also unusually rather distorted but at least RTTY-less. Once again, RadioCuba has big problems just getting its signals on the air properly. Weakest-link syndrome --- is it the STLs? Or originating in the studio? Or the transmitters? Or the antennas? Or a combination (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GREECE. 7475, Dec 12 at 0644, Greek music, and not // 9420 Greek talk, and shortly other music. So Radio Philia is back on 7475, separate ERT programming at least during this hour, unlike 24 hours earlier when they were conjoined (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. 1040, Dec 12 at 0657 UT romantic music in Spanish from SW/NE at first dominating WHO but that soon faded back up making 3.5 Hz SAH. With WHO nulled, at 0659 TC for 12:01, no ID and into choral Mexican NA; 0702 some ID but losing out to QRM. Then hear the Mexican NA again, must be from another station in the same zone. 0704 after that, a full ID with H`s in the calls. From Cant?, there are only two in the UT -7 zone: 1040 XEHES Rom?ntica + FM 94.1 Chihuahua, Chih. 5,000 250 1040 XEGYS La Primera + FM 90.1 Guaymas, Son. 5,000 250 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 89.5 FM, Dec 11 around 1900 UT, drove by the site of last year`s ``singing Xmas trees`` on West Oak in Enid just south of Chestnut, and there it is, open carrier in the daytime, and we can see the setup in a farther corner than last year of the same fenced-off lot occupied mainly by an oil well (capped?). The Part 15 (?) 89.5 carrier is not even fully quieted a block away, less range than last year? We never did spot an antenna. Now to check out the Xmas music and light show setup at a home further west which last year was on 99.9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SAUDI ARABIA. 15120, Dec 12 at 1443 Qur`an, poor signal and off by 1450. HCCC shows BSKSA ``Bangali`` service, 500 kW, 70 degrees from Riyadh at 12-16, but WRTH 2013 is closer, with the time as 12-15 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 700, Dec 12 at 1407 UT a semihour after sunrise here, WLW is still barely audible with ID; nothing now from other easterly signals such as WSM or the Chicago clears (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 880, Dec 12 at 1412 UT, English citing Jeremiah and mixing in some Navajo, ergo KHAC Tse Bonito NM/Window Rock AZ; in null of KRVN. Nothing from 660 KTNN, KSWV 810 which was heard yesterday, and a little signal from KKOB 770. Trouble is, official sunrise for KHAC in December is 1415 UT (January: 1430), when it can go from 430 watt night power to 10 kW day, always non-direxional. Its PSRA is also 430 yearound, so what`s the point of that? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1180, Dec 12 at 1420 UT, in Omaha null, spirited Spanish sports discussion about Mexico, mentions MLS several times past 1425. Probably ESPN-Deportes network, and the only fit in NRC AM Log 2012 is: KGOL Humble TX (Houston market), 50/3 kW and now on day power. FCC AM Query shows 2-tower daytime direxional pattern is broad favoring the southwest, with much reduced signal toward us but not a sharp null (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2012 17:13:13 +0000 From: Tom Taylor <em...@sky.com> To: undisclosed-recipients:; Subject: [HCDX] EMR DX - MVBR and R.City Relays this weekend Message-ID: <CAE=tedxq3elphhcwdzhv7h93fgwpjbbzc-asus5bu0au1j0...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 EMR DX - MVBR and R.City Relays this weekend Saturday 15th: 05.00 - 11.00 UTC, HLR on 7265 KHz to Europe 11.00 - 17.00 UTC, HLR on 6190 KHz to Europe EMR DX Transmission 00.00 - 01.00 UTC, EMR on 9480 KHz EMR DX to the World Sunday 16th: 08.00 - 09.00 UTC, EMR on 7265 KHz EMR to Europe 09.00 - 10.00 UTC, EMR on 9480 KHz EMR to Europe 10.00 - 11.00 UTC, MVB on 7265 KHz (repeat) MVBR to Europe EMR's internet broadcasts are at the following times: 0900, 1400, 1700, 2000 on Sunday and Monday: EMR has changed there Website server details.
