Tirana`s only remaining English to NAm is on this frequency tonight and also announcing it (Glenn Haauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** BRAZIL. 4885, Dec 7 at 0625-0645, mostly music is poorly heard, but enough signal to audiblize it past the high local noise level as sometimes happens, presumed R. Clube do Par?, one of few known 24-hour Brazilians left on 60m. Trying BFO to help it along, I find the carrier is slightly unstable, hard to zero-beat (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. Firedrake Dec 7: 9200, very poor at 1427; no others by 1439 up to 19 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA [and non]. 5955, Dec 7 at 0622, RNW Dutch now via VATICAN during this first hour, audible with NO jamming for a change! Has the DentroCuban Jamming Command finally agreed that R. Rep?blica is gone from near this frequency? Time will tell. RHC still propagating extremely strongly on its 6 MHz frequencies. BTW, Aoki lists 5954 Rep?blica as a 600-watt non-direxional transmitter in Lim?n, Costa Rica, i.e. the former facility of long-gone R. Casino, an unwarranted assumption as ELCOR may have acquired the frequency-license only. And Aoki no longer has it on 9965. 9540, Dec 7 at 1425, RHC missing from this unneeded frequency, still going strong on 9850 and all the 25m channels. 13670, Dec 7 at 1433, is on, having been missing 24 hours earlier. There`s always something a-missing at RHC, an endless source of anomalies to monitor (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** FRANCE. 7220, Dec 7 at 0615, RFI news in English instead of Hausa, repeating headlines (called ``main points`` in Euro-parlance), then at 0616 instead of sports reports, calling in correspondent in Congo DR about delay in reporting elexion results. Meanwhile 7390 French service was en musique. MUF was again quite lo tonite, nothing above 10 MHz and only a few weak sigs on 9 MHz, such as Gabon 9580; none of the US signals were audible, not even 9330 WBCQ. Meanwhile, WWV reported at 0600 the K-index was 0 and the SF for Dec 6 was 154, no space weather storms, so you would expect better propagation. Must be winter-night doldrums setting in despite the figures. In Enid we have just passed our earliest sunset of 2316 UT, now starting to stay lighter later, but it will be another month before we surpass our latest sunrise of 1344 (Glenn Hauser, OK, Dec 7, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDIA. 9870, Dec 7 at 1414, AIR VBS military band is playing that march tune often heard; is it news theme? Well atop CCCCI from Xian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** IRAN. 11860, Dec 7 at 1429 piano music, 1430 ID in Russian as GIRI, choral anthem; fair with flutter, 500 kW, 320 degrees from Sirjan, so also USward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TAIWAN [non]. 6875, Dec 7 at 0620, RTI via WYFR still in German, but instead of usual big signal, only poor; wonder if they have started aiming at Europe instead of Mexico, making the best of the wrong-language situation? Nearby Cubans on 49m were extremely strong as usual. But Tennesseans on 5755, 5890, 5935 were also poor instead of strong, skipping long, I suppose (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 7490, Tue Dec 6 at 2229, WBCQ starts playing `Frecuencia al D?a`, its only Spanish program which is also a DX program, as usually happens per schedule, rather than WORLD OF RADIO which unexpectedly appeared here last Tuesday. Expect WOR at its usual WBCQ time of 2230 Thursdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Wed, 07 Dec 2011 21:06:43 +0200 From: "Zacharias Liangas " <gree...@otenet.gr> To: <> Subject: [HCDX] Logs 30/11-5/11 Message-ID: <4edfb943.32733.1d0...@greekdx.otenet.gr> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 http://zlgr.multiply.com/photos/album/28/my_radio_shack_ Last week Google made a second minor change in their reader in less 3 weeks after their redesign, which now obstructs copying - pasting more than 3 sequential feeds ,thus making personal mass news printing /off-computer reading nearly impossible .
