UT May 29 logs in this report are from another DXpedition to Meadowlake Park,
Enid, away from the household noise sources, using DX-398 on battery power
(down to only 3 marks on the meter), and reel-out antenna of a few meters to a
tree or light pole, while watching the geese and fish.
** ALBANIA [and non]. A problem, May 25: at 1300, R. Tirana was JBA on 13750,
but nothing at all from adjacent 13745 Rwanda which was audible last Friday.
Rechecking at 1319, I found a huge signal from RHC in Spanish on 13750!
Normally they are on 13680 at this hour, but nothing there. Kept monitoring and
at 1339 RHC suddenly vanished from 13750 and appeared on 13680, so apparently
just a mistake (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ANTARCTICA [and non]. May 28 at 1834 I found an audible het between ANU
15475 and a carrier on 15476, which must be LRA36. ANU was pretty weak, but
some audio; at 1900 sharp after a timecheck in French for 1900, modulation
ceased, and carrier off a semiminute later, after the typical power/frequency
oscillation for a few seconds. I could then still detect the 15476 carrier by
itself with BFO, but no audio and did not improve later (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** ARGENTINA. RAE further off-frequency than usual, judging from the het
against Morocco and Spain which as usual produce only a sub-audible het of a
few Hz against each other on 15345.0; May 28 at 1837 I put RAE at about
15343.4, no audio detected (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHAD. Unlike previous nights, the extremely distorted transmission was very
strong here May 24 around 0506; it was on the high side of 7290 but could not
find a specific carrier to measure. QRMing Portuguese on 7290 which could be
heard by off-tuning to low side. In fact, 7292v was the strongest signal on
41m, 7100-7300! As K-index was 5 (at 0600), and usual European signals were
barely audible; even BBC Ascension 7160 was much weaker. I think there is
little doubt this is the same one which was on 7312v earlier, and re-identified
as Chad in Martien Groot`s report in DXLD 7-060 (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
Solar-terrestrial indices for 23 May follow. Solar flux 70 and mid-latitude
A-index 37. The mid-latitude K-index at 0600 UTC on 24 May was 5 (82 nT). Space
weather for the past 24 hours has been moderate. Geomagnetic storms reaching
the G2 level occurred. Space weather for the next 24 hours is expected to be
minor. Geomagnetic storms reaching the G1 level are expected (SEC via DXLD)
** CHAD. The extremely distorted transmission is still there, noted May 27 at
0522 around 7292v; easier to pick it out with BFO on when the band is noisy
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake against Sound of Hope, May 29 at 0021 on 13970, F-G; not
audible on 10300, 9200 or 18160, but also found on // 15150 at 0035, the latter
about evenly mixed with Chinese talk, which would be VOA via Thailand rather
than SOH at this hour (Glenn Hauser, MLPDX, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. The Dentro-Cuban Jamming Command continues to mess up frequencies
other than those they are targeting, and do they care? Of course not! May 29 at
0022 I found jamming pulsing away harmonically on 18090, which is 3 x 6030
against R. Mart?. I also heard very weak audio on 18000, but could not be sure
it was // RHC 6000 or the other station it was colliding with on the
fundamental. Then at 0024 found on 17730 exactly the same jamming pulses as on
18060, but here spreading to 17725, bothering WYFR in Portuguese, and to 17735.
This is what we tend to call ``bubble jamming`` but without the tones since
there is no carrier to beat against. 18090 is common, but never heard 17730
before, which is 3 x 5910 against R. Rep?blica via Germany, and it was also
heavily jammed on the fundamental. BTW, RHC on 17705 with music in Spanish had
a good signal. At 0052 I heard similar pulses on 6235 but can`t pin this on
Cuba as mixing products of 49mb jamming and/or broadcast transmitters. At 0109,
heard 12060 pulses, the second harmonic of 6030 to go along with the third on
18090 (Glenn Hauser, MLPDX, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also ALBANIA
** EGYPT [and non]. On an evening DXpedition in the park, one must check for
the CVC Chile mixing products on 12275 and 11360, from the Spanish frequencies
11665 and 11970 leapfrogging each other. May 29 at 0110, however, those mixes
were not audible; the fundamentals were of good strength but not overpowering
as on previous occasion, so perhaps not strong enough to bring along the mixes
with them, assuming CVC has done nothing to suppress them --- if they have,
they have not notified me.
However, looking for 12275 led me to find something just as interesting on
12270 at 0131: a weak signal with poor audio cutting in and out, Spanish? Then
checked 6135 and found the same thing, with breaks for music at same time as I
switched back and forth on single DX-398 receiver, but could not be absolutely
positive the two were parallel. My first guess was Romania, but I made it to
the home rigs before 0200 and checked again; At 0157, 6135 was // 7270 in
Spanish with better audio, so Radio Cairo as scheduled, but an echo apart. 6135
stayed on past 0200 for timesignal and theme, finally cut off at 0201:30 as
7270 continued to introduce English to North America with program summary in
local time of UT+3 concluding at 6:30 am. The summary was at times drowned out
by the `background` music, a very familiar theme which I think came from 48
Hours or an early Eddie Murphy movie. This was followed by a rap piece based on
Super-Freak, both of which are to say the least unIslamic if not unEgyptian.
There was another timesignal preceding the 0215 news, and I noticed it was
about 9 seconds slow! I also tried 9360 before 0200, where there was a fairly
good carrier, but could not hear any audio to match.
6135 is scheduled from R. Cairo only for the Spanish broadcast to Central
America at 0045-0200, from the Abis site;
7270 is for both the 0045-0200 Spanish, and 0200-0330 English, also from the
Abis site, per EiBi; so why the echo? I thought that would indicate one of them
was from Abu Zaabal.
Would harmonic 12270 be propagating at this late hour? Yes: 12050 fundamental
in Arabic was putting in a strong signal at 0131 but awfully distorted as usual
(Glenn Hauser, MLPDX, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN. Russian on 11970 at 1849 May 28, fair signal, would have to be NHK
Warido, direct from Japan and far, far, offbeam here; also had them at 1855 in
Japanese on 9835 but much weaker on the Hawaiian/South American service (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. WBBZ, 1230, Ponca City, is still IDing as ``AM stereo``, as heard
0121 UT May 29 (Glenn Hauser, MLPDX, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN. Checking out an unID by Jim Ronda and Mark Taylor, I was monitoring
9735 May 28 from 1325 tune-in; poor signal with YL talking continuously; from
the cadence and occasional recognizable word, I decided it was Japanese rather
than Korean; 1329 brief musical break, and more of same; 1339 a bit of music
and then two lower-pitched voices speaking, but fading into the noise; recheck
at 1359 found no carrier, and nothing else on frequency audible at 1400 either.
Then I checked e-mail and found that Ron Howard had IDed it as R. Taiwan
International, // 7129.9; and Sei-ichi Hasegawa of NDXC explains that RTI is
testing this frequency instead of 11605 at 11-14 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** THAILAND. BBCWS in English, 17615, May 29 at 0029 with ID, lite flutter but
listenable, but then cut off in mid-word at 0029:30. Transmission on this
frequency is for only half an hour (minus half a minute). BBCWS English has
more and more of these brief transmissions, in accordance with their
hit-and-miss policy of SW coverage (Glenn Hauser, MLPDX, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. Some sporadic-E was obviously happening, as WWCR 15825 was in well,
but no activity on 15 meters. Nevertheless, I tried 10 meters and heard some
SSB hams from Ohio and Minnesota, the latter working Austin TX, which I could
not hear. Then at 1903 UT May 28, I found a beacon on 28284, E E E DE KC9GNK/B
EN53. Googled him up and found this: http://www.freewebs.com/kc9gnkbeacon/ so
QTH is Wisconsin Dells WI, and exact frequency 28283.6, 40 watts. Wants e-mail
reports from anyone hearing it, but no e-mail address given (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WRMI`s switch from 7385 to 9955 during the 0000 UT hour weeknights in
order to broadcast La Voz de la Fundaci?n hasn`t happened yet; UT May 29 at
0038 still found English on 7385, which would be WRN carrying Slovakia; and
also still at 0107 with preacher which would be Christian Media Network (Glenn
Hauser, MLPDX, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. KJES heard in passing on May 28, at 1840 on 15385 when I was working
on the 15380 het; and also May 29 at 0108 on 7555 with guitar and vocal hymn
(Glenn Hauser, MLPDX, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. IBAC hiss from KFAB-1110 Omaha was blocking 1100, and KMOX-1120 St
Louis, May 29 at 0121 check; and also at 0123 IBAC hiss from WHO-1040 Des
Moines was blocking whatever was on 1030 and 1050. However, by 0128 both had
apparently been turned off, and e.g. XEG-1050 Monterrey was in the clear. No
other IBAC signals were heard in a quick scan of the MW band, and
KOA-840-850-860 had not yet infaded.
At 0122 I also found matching carriers on 1083 and 977 kHz, no audio
detectable, but stronger than a nostalgia station on 1030, the likely
fundamental halfway between, 53 kHz apart. Would really like to know which
station is responsible. Around 0156 on the home rig, the spurs were gone (Glenn
Hauser, MLPDX, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Here`s a daytimer which doesn`t skimp on its sign-off announcement,
KJIM, 1500, Sherman TX. UT May 29 at 0114 said would be back at 6 am with CBS
news, and ``best songs and memories of the radio``, then ``Thanks for the
Memories`` but not the Bob Hope version. Nice reception at peaks. Played the
song thru to end so did not pull plug until 0117* after ``Night, all``; also
IDs as K-Jim (Glenn Hauser, MLPDX, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. At 1405 UT Sunday May 27, checking out the RHC and RNV
relay frequencies, I found there were three different programs, the odd one out
being 11875 which had music not // to either of the other networks. Then at
1408 it switched to // 13680 et al. for RNV, actually during Mundo Siete, as
RHC had announced a few minutes earlier that there would not be an Al?
Presidente show per se, but some other Venezuelan relay of an inscription
ceremony (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 5897.5 seemed to be the center peak tho there were multiple
carriers/constant pitched tones, which when combined were pulsating every few
seconds with a recurring higher pitch. I could not detect by ear any variation
which would indicate any intelligence was being conveyed. I suspect this is the
Cuban spy-numbers/letters transmitter often heard around 5900 with more
conventional modulation. This was at 0518 May 24, and litely QRMing WWCR 5890.
Off when rechecked about a semihour later (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. During Rai`s transmission on 15380 to NAm, May 28 at 1838, I
found a low het on the low side, about 15379.8. Rechecked at 1903, Rai was
still on with chirps, but no het. Can`t find anything else that is supposed to
be on 15380 at this hour; could be a spur from some other 19 mb transmitter
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

African music, deep QSB at times, very poor reception, no idea of the language

Hi Matti,
yes it's Zimbabwe on 4828. They are testing
with non-stop Afro music for the new channel
"Voice of Zimbabwe". Another test frequency
is 5975 alternating with 4828.
3396/6045 has been observed with the usual programs.

Russia, 9765, RadioStantsiya Tikhiy Okean, 0835-0900 Noted sign on
ID followed with news and features in Russian Language. Signal was fair
the entire period. Checked the parallel freq of 12065 KHz and notice only a
threshold signal there. (Chuck Bolland, May 29, 2007)
Peru, 5939.30, Radio Melodia, 0848-0900 Sandwiched under a Brazilian on
5940, noted steady Spanish comments from the usual announcers. Signal
faded out periodically, but re-appeared to a poor level. (Chuck Bolland,
May
29, 2007)
Peru, 6193.40, Radio Cuzco,(pres)0910-0915 All I hear on this frequency is
a carrier at this time. Either it's too early and Cuzco isn't broadcasting
yet, or
the signal is too weak to copy any audio? Or it could be all of the above,
take your choice. (Chuck Bolland, May 29, 2007)
Bolivia, 3310, Radio Mosoj Chaski, 0948-1000 With a threshold signal, noted
a man in Spanish comments. Occasionally musical tones for emphasis
presented. As mentioned above, signal was threshold, (Chuck Bolland, May
29, 2007)
Unident, 4019.94, 1000-1015 Noted steady Rancheros type music with no
comments. Sounds like a Central American Station from type of music heard.
Signal was fair. (Chuck Bolland, May 29, 2007)

Radio Havana Cuba
Dxers Unlimited
Dxers Unlimited mid week edition for 29-30 May 2007
Hi amigos radioaficionados around the world, and in orbiting in space ?
I am Arnie Coro radio amateur CO2KK welcoming you to my twice weekly
radio hobby program that attempts to cover the more than 81 ways you and
I enjoy our hobby, from participating in an exhausting whole weekend
amateur radio contest to relaxing at a beach resort listening to a far
away AM broadcast band station that is heard on your little portable
radio with a nice and clear signal thanks to that interesting
propagation effect known among experts as sea gain? Sure, this hobby is
always challenging, and when you think that already you have gone
through all the possible aspects of it, then someone comes out with a
radically new antenna, a new communications mode using computers or
suddenly finds out that there is still a lot of room for experimenting
at the millimeter wavelengths? Si amigos, yes my friends, oui mes amis
in Canada and the French speaking Caribbean that listen to this program,
radio is simply fascinating? Take for example this past weekend CQ Radio
Amateur magazine WPX CW contest, when thousands of amateur radio
stations around the world went on the air to try to work as many new
prefixes as possible?
According to my own observations and comments overheard on 40 meters
after the constest was over, the WPX contest this weekend was favoured
by fine conditions during its
first part,that is from Satuday at 00 UTC when it started , that was
Friday evening for us here in the Americas, but then Sunday UTC was
not so good with little real DX stations heard.
Among the rare goodies picked up on the ham bands, the really hard to
work prefixes I heard the rare 3V8BB from Tunisia operating on the 40
meters band, on 7033 kHz
He had already gone past the 2100 contest points, which is
outstanding. Other maybe not so rare, but nevertheless interesting
stations heard during the weekend WPX ham radio CW contest included
9K2HN Kuwait on 15 meters using 21030 kHz when the band opened for a
few minutes from Cuba that that part of the world, I also heard someone
working HL2AEJ Korea on14009 kHz, but no luck trying to pick up the
Korean station. The not too frequently heard 4L prefix, from Georgia
came via 4L8A, an excellent CW.
And new prefixes continue to be assigned to amateur stations in
countries with a deep rooted tradition in promoting our hobby; that is
the case of the prefix 5P7 , that I had never heard before? it took some
time to find out that it was a station from Denmark using the callsign
5P7Y during the contest. Othe stations heard- included C4I Cyprus on 20
meters , using 14028 kHz, and an operator from Central Siberia, using
the callsign RK0UT that went past the normal CW self imposed boundary of
around 14065, and insisted on calling CQ around 14075 kiloHertz, and to
my surprise, he did made several contacts during the time that I
listened to him. By the way, I didn?t operate during the contest, as I
had a very busy weekend schedule, but did enjoy some amateur bands short
wave listening , that gave what you have just heard as a practical result?
And before going over to the next item, once again the world heritage
site of the Ecuadorean GALAPAGOS ISLANDS was on the air during an
amateur radio contest,
HC8N heard on 7005 kHz CW. The operators was announcing at QRZ.com that
he will be QSLing QSL via W5VE .
More radio hobby related information follows as Dxers Unlimited?s mid
week edition continues?
???
This is Radio Havana Cuba , the name of the show is Dxers Unlimited, and
here is our next item in today?s mid week edition of the program? More
about compact antennas for HF and some interesting antenna modeling done
in real life, in actual practice, not using computers? Scale model of HF
antennas done at VHF frequencies provide a lot of practical information
and are easy to reproduce and modify. For example , a working model for
the two meters amateur band of the electromagnetic ground plane antenna
system, proved that using a proper ground system, the efficiency of the
EMGP vertical antenna will match the radiation efficiency achieved by a
full size quarter wave vertical to within a very small percentage? As a
matter of fact, very carefully done field intensity comparative
measurements between a full size quarter wave 2 meters band vertical
placed at the center of a metal plate that has a diameter of one meter,
and an EMGP antenna cut for the same 145 megaHertz center frequency
proved to be almost exactly the same? A very interesting finding if you
take into consideration that the EMGP antenna?s height above the ground
plane is just 1/12 of a wavelength , that for the 145 megaHertz center
frequency is just 17 centimeters or just six points seven inches? Now
compare this antenna height with the 19 inches or around 49 centimeters
required by the full size quarter wave or 90 electrical degrees high
antenna system.
For two meters band operation , the extremely low profile antenna will
be an excellent choice for an antenna to be used when extremely strong
winds are expected, like when a hurricane is approaching. An EMGP or
electromagnetic ground plane antenna for the 40 meters amateur band,
will be only about three and a half meters high above the ground plane,
but I must clarify to my listeners that it would not be a very good
emergency antenna because it will not have enough high vertical angle
radiation , something that is essential for short range Near Vertical
Incidence Skywave propagation, as required for short range
communications within an affected area.
Nevertheless, modeling the EMGP as a ?real life? antenna on 2 meters
proved to be a very interesting and rewarding experience, and something
that was done in just a few hours of my weekend spare time?
If you don?t have enough space where to install a short wave antenna
system, don?t overlook the possibility of homebrewing an EMGP antenna,
that when properly made, will provide reasonable results on the band for
which it is cut on transmit, and good receiving on the next lower and
higher adjacent bands.
If you want to know more about the EMGP , the Electro Magnetic Ground
Plane antenna, send me an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and I will reply with
the EMGP Antenna Design Package, with detailed instructions on how to
homebrew these antennas for the amateur bands between 80 meters and 2
meters?
??
Si amigos, yes? ASK ARNIE continues to be at the top of your
preferences, according to the e-mail messages, letters and actual on the
air two way amateur radio contacts? Here is ASK ARNIE today answering a
question sent by listeners Gail in Georgia USA, Armand in California
also USA, Virgil , who listens to 6000 kiloHertz very late at night from
his Southern England QTH, and Barry, who picks up our 9550 kiloHertz
signals in New Zealand with amazing good quality as he tells me in his
e-mail. They all want to know more about the Spiral end loaded antennas
recently mentioned here at Dxers Unlimited, and in the case of Barry,
who happens to be a very enthusiastic radio amateur operator, he wants
to know the difference between the Petlowany and the Tak antennas, if
there is any difference at all?
Well amigos, the spiral end loaded antennas are really nothing new at
all? I remember reading about spiral loaded antennas for the very low
frequencies a long time ago, in an article that presented an extensive
review of several types of top loaded antennas for operation on very low
and extremely low frequencies. Then some time after reading that
article, I went to Cardenas , a city of Matanzas province that has a
very nice seaport , where a coastal radio station operating on the now
no longer used 600 meters or 500 kiloHertz marine band was installed. To
my surprise the vertical antenna located an an excellent salt marsh
swampy area on one side of the bay, had a rather large sized top hat to
provide additional loading to the about 70 meters high tower, that was
physically too short to resonate efficiently on the 460 to 512 kiloHertz
band where it had to operate. This was just a capacity hat made of
spokes and wires, and not a spiral top loading of the tower. Several
months later I had the nice opportunity of talking to the designer of
that low frequency band antenna system, and he told me that due to the
complexity of the spiral loading configuration, he had opted for the
much simpler capacity hat, but he added that a spiral loading system
proved to be much more efficient when he was doing ?the numbers?, that
meaning when he was calculating the new antenna for the marine
communications site. I asked him about the size of the projected spiral
loading device and he said that even when made with the same diameter as
the capacity hat, the spiral was much more efficient and provide much
better loading of the structure, something that is essential on those
very short antennas for the long waves? Then, he told me about an
experiment that ran under his supervision, when two engineering students
that were writing their thesis , made a 10 megaHertz scale model of the
500 kiloHertz antenna system? in other words a one twentieth scale
ratio. The students, the designer said, had much more time to play with
the antenna?s top loading, and they found out that winding a one quarter
wave of wire into a spiral of enough diameter , the antenna?s resonant
frequency went down dramatically while retaining a rather high radiation
efficiency. But again, he added, the main problem was not of an
electrical nature, but one related to the mechanical complexity of
keeping the spiral wound loading device in place at the top of a tower
when heavy winds were blowing.
In the case of both the Petlowany and the Tak spiral loaded antennas,
because they are both dipoles used in a horizontal configuration ,
keeping the end loading spirals in good shape is not as complicated as
with the high towers?
So, amigos, now you know a bit more about spiral loading of antennas,
and why the Petlowany and the Tak antennas are almost identical !!!
?..
Now ready to copy, as the program is coming to an end, and Arnie Coro?s
Dxers Unlimited?s HF plus low band VHF propagation update and forecast
will now go on the air? Solar activity was at extremely low levels, with
ZERO sunspot count and the solar flux at 70 and even below? So, the
daytime maximum useable frequency continues to be only reching barely
above 20 megaHertz for short periods, and staying even below 15
megaHertz on some circuits ? The chances for Sporadic E propagation
events are now coming to their maximum for the year, as we enter the
month of June?There is great expectation for the upcoming ARRL June VHF
QSO Party Contest, because if the very low solar activity continues , we
may see some really big sporadic E events happening, that the operators
of Cuba?s main entry in the contest, special prefix callsign T49C , hope
to make very good use to once again win that contest.
Hope to have you all listening to the weekend edition of the program
that will be on the air Saturday and Sunday UTC days amigos, and don?t
forge to send your signal reports, QSL card requests and radio hobby
related questions directly to [EMAIL PROTECTED], again, [EMAIL PROTECTED] or
