** GREECE. ERA5 via SVO, 15630, Feb 27 at 1528 check: usual dropouts of carrier during music, but listening carefully, there were also dropouts in modulation during moments when the carrier was on. What wonderful engineering we are being exposed to (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. XEYU`s frequency has slipped back up again, but still fails to attain nominal 9600.00; Feb 27 at 1455, when the het from 9600 went off, I put it at approximately 9599.44. Method: counting the 40-Hz steps up from original punch-up tuning to 9599.00 on the DX-398, (once the offset error was corrected for), until the signal was more or less zero-beat. Eleven steps = 440 Hz high. But this is not so precise, so I would say somewhere between 9599.4 and 9599.5, altho obviously less than 9599.50 since the pitches were different with 1 kHz stepping between 9599 and 9600 on the YB-400 once its BFO thumbwheel was zeroed on another signal, such as 9610 RCI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** PHILIPPINES. VOA Korean, 9555, Feb 27 at 1445 with English lesson, splattering +/- 20 kHz, and especially bothersome to RHC 9550. It was all over by 1500. Not the first time the 9555 transmitter has been so dirty (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SAUDI ARABIA. BSKSA, 17660, Feb 27 at 1530, during the minute before co-channel Afropop went off, could be heard with a timesignal running about 5 seconds slow --- not suitable for navigation! And introducing Informations with a Sousa(?) march, starting with diplomatic meeting between Egypt and France (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [non]. On 12135, Feb 27 at 1535, something in Farsi, but heavy interference from AFRTS 12133.5-USB and CODAR sweeps; listed as VOA via Morocco at 1530-1630 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 3250.0, a variety of sweep tones were running here Feb 27 from 0618 for at least 5 minutes; sounded like no two sequences were the same. Any ideas? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ____________________________________________________________________________________ No need to miss a message. Get email on-the-go with Yahoo!
