** CHINA. Firedrake still reliably on 9000, checked Nov 5 at 1316, presumably
against Sound of Hope (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [non non]. Just because it`s jammed doesn`t mean it`s a Cuban
clandestine. Following a report of R. Rep?blica on 9600, I monitored UT Nov 5
at 0255-0300+ and guess what: it`s Radio Habana Cuba, and it is also jammed!
They were ending a 3-hour program, the last part about how Cuban music is
popular in Per?, and that could have been a Radio Rep?blica produxion, but then
telltale RHC sounder and ID at hourtop. Also checked 6060 at 0318 and it was
//.
The jamming on 9600 is not heavy, but is certainly there. 9600 is on the
currently posted RHC frequency schedule as 0000-0500, so it seems unlikely R.
Rep?blica would also be there unless they are really spoiling for a fight. The
question remains, why would Cuba jam its own broadcast? Habana SNAFUs are
nothing new and this may be just another one.
BTW, Jeff White says the RMI broadcast of R. Rep?blica is now M-F at 1100-1200
on 6100 via Sackville; and there may be more. I have not yet checked at that
early hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. North Americans now have another morning broadcast in English
available: RRI at 1300-1400 on 15105, 17745, which is intended for Europe, but
carries on just fine to OK; well, almost. At first 17745 was not audible, but
15105 was good, Nov 5 at 1328 in program about classical music by Enescu and
others inspired by folk music. Usual string of mini-features followed on this
Wednesday: 1339, when 17745 was also audible, sports report; 1342 Encyclopedia,
about an exhibition of 110-120 radio sets celebrating the 80th anniversary of
radio broadcasting in Romania, from Nov 1, 1928; 1347 The Cooking Show, recipe
for pumpkin pie; 1349 DX Mailbag starting with a report from Rich D`Angelo,
Wyomissing, on 6015. It seems Galbeni is pronounced GAHL-benn, forget the -i.
Only two more reports referred to, the last from Dmitri Antonov, Krasnoyarsk.
Then gave English transmission schedule to Western Europe; and to North America:
2130-22 6115 9755
23-24 6115 9610
01-02 6145 9515
04-05 6115 9515 WNAm
Pacific: 0630-700 15135 17780
Meanwhile, the Romanian-language service remains good as well on 11940, and on
15170 colliding with REE via Costa Rica, but Nov 5 at 1341 check I found that
the undermodulated signal from REE was on top for a change, with a pronounced
SAH of a few Hz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Checking for R. Tirana, English at 0245-0300 on 7390, only a weak
carrier, next to a strong open carrier on 7385, Nov 5 at 0253. At 0300 VOA
Spanish special elexion coverage cut on the air in mid-word, obviously already
in progress on satellite, internet. I assume this SW frequency will be gone
tomorrow, not a time VOA Spanish is normally on the air. Then checked Kim
Elliott`s site and there it is, special elexion-night broadcast 0300-0400 on
7385, 5940 and 9890. 9890 was barely detectable, and 5940 was much weaker than
7385.
If these and some English frequencies cut off at 0400 UT just as President
Obama was proclaimed, it was a case of monumentally poor timing by VOA; I was
listening to TV but a radio was still on 7385, and noticed the noise level jump
at 0407, so that`s when the carrier went off and so may have prolonged
modulation too.
Checked retimed morning VOA Spanish service Nov 5: at 1315 on 9885, promo for
Enfoque Andino at 7:30-8:30 EST, and Buenos D?as, Am?rica at 8:30-9:30 --- yes
until 9:30, they said, = 1430 UT, so maybe it goes on for another semihour
after SW closes? Also said there would be newscasts at 10 and 11 am = 15 and 16
UT, but now apparently referring to via FM relays in LAm cities. At 1326, also
heard on new // 15590, very strong and blowing away Spain on 15585, but that`s
not to the Americas. Was ending Enfoque Andino segment with Tobey Keith song.
Closing Buenos D?as, Am?rica at 1359, said next program would be deportivo =
sports report at 1700 UT! Is that on SW, like ex-1400 on 17565? At 1359:30,
15590 DCI = dropped carrier immediately, while 9885 went thru the Yankee Doodle
sign-off routine. Supposed B-08 Spanish schedule at
http://www.voanews.com/english/about/frequenciesAtoZ_s.cfm
is still totally out of date as of Nov 5 at 1520 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. After running 24 hours for several days on 7505 with music tests,
including the non-registered block of 1600-2300, WRNO was missing at 2055 UT
Nov 4, as we had asked them not to interfere with R. Tirana in English on 7510
at 2100-2130. WRNO was also off when checked around 0300 Nov 5, but back on at
0641 and with jazz at 1317 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WWRB, 6370, again audible but weak on 2x harmonic of 3185 with
Brother Scare, Nov 5 at 0646 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WBCQ, unlike the days before, missing from 9330 at 1425 check, but
was on with Brother Scare at 1517 recheck (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Rapid pulses, like OTH radar, extending at least plus/minus 10
kHz from 13950, Nov 5 until cut off at 1408* Same sound as heard previously
centered on 15090 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

I could hear an Arabic station on 954 kHz from 1230 onwards. At 1530 there
was a time announcement to Al-Doha, so it most probably was QBS.

SRF-39FP

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
The highlight of my 2-night DXpedition over the weekend in Grayland, Washington
was certainly the logging of Radio Farda, 1575 kHz in the UAE. This was during
grayline conditions last night (Nov. 2 UTC date), less than an hour past local
sunset and just before Al-Dhabbaya, UAE sunrise. It's a distance of 7,538 mi. /
12,131 km., per the Google Earth "Distance Tool" from the R. Farda antenna
array to Grayland Beach State Park!
To my knowledge, R. Farda has not been heard before on the West Coast of North
America with a receiver of any type, communications receiver OR a cheap
portable.
I had R. Farda the previous night on my Perseus SDRs before 0200, but didn't
realize what I was hearing. I first thought it was an early fade-in of an
Asian, but of course 0130-0155 UTC is *far* too early! I never expected to hear
a TA on a *barefoot* ultralight portable from Grayland, much less on my Perseus
receivers and Wellbrook Phased Array antenna. When I realized that it might
have been R. Farda after all, I was more prepared the next evening.
Sure enough, a het was first heard and seen on 1575 with the Perseus spectrum
display at 0130, and audio faded up with dance / techno music at 0140. Five
minutes later between music selections, I heard an Arabic language announcer
with mentions of "Arabiyya". The best reception (poor-fair level at best) was
around 0150 with a pounding, bass-heavy dance / techno tune and Arabic vocals.
Would it be possible to hear anything at all on a barefoot SRF-39FP? I had
pre-tuned the Sony between a Spanish station on 1570 and 1 kw. KBAL, Lebanon,
Oregon on 1280. The radio was ready to go, already rotated for best null of
1280, and waiting for me on the railing of the outside porch. When Farda seemed
like it wouldn't get any stronger, I dashed outside the yurt (cabin) in
Grayland and slapped on the headphones...woo-hoo!! There was the dance / techno
music, in parallel to what I was hearing on Perseus! The signal (only
moderately weaker than on Perseus) lasted only 15-20 seconds on the small Sony
before it was gone into oblivion on both radios.
Here's a short MP3 of how this TA station sounded on the Perseus SDR:
http://www.guyatkins.com/files/sdr/grayland_nov08/1575_farda_uae_02nov08.mp3
As luck would have it, my Wellbrook Phased Array (prototype) antenna was
oriented approximately correct for grayline reception of Radio Farda--to the
Northwest at 300 degrees. Hmm...perhaps this wasn't technically a
"trans-Atlantic" reception, as the grayline took the signal north-northeast
over Russia, Siberia, across Alaska, and down along the British Columbia
coastline.
The only other possible TA noted during this DXpedition was 1008 kHz, heard
both nights with dance and electronica music before 0200 UTC, but not found on
the Sony ultralight. 1008 may be a reactivated GrootNieuwsradio, Holland, or
possibly a Spanish SER station.
This Grayland DXpedition was highly productive overall; I'll be sharing full
details early this week.

Here's the loggings from the first night of DXing at Grayland this past
weekend. There may be a few stragglers as I review the Perseus WAV files
further; I still need to go over the 1500 and 1600 UTC top-of-hour recordings.
Also, I see that I didn't note any DX on 675 kHz, so I'll need to review once
more to make sure I didn't miss Voice of Vietnam commonly heard on 675.
There are many top of the hour loggings here, because the recorded files of the
SDR are highly useful for checking frequencies at TOH for IDs, parallel
content, etc.
I'll be going over my November 2nd Perseus recordings soon, and reporting in
with any new catches not heard the previous night.

Echoes from multiple transmitters made listening tough, despite good signal
strength. I noted a VERY faint 3+1 time pips sequence from another station a
full 11 seconds before Shandong's TPs; possibly one of the 1 or 5 Kw Japanese

Hi Albert, hi Mauno,
QATAR 954 MW Al Arish installation, 4 mast array southerly, non-dir
daytime?
But I guess 954 kHz directional installation located northerly the
transmitter house in use on nighttime?
6 masts
from right
1 reflector, 1 driven mast, and 4 directors towards
my goniometer shows 280 degrees, which means signal in direction of Eilat
and Cairo.

Thanks, Wolfgang and Mauno.
This is becoming a matter of principle for me. I WILL hear this station
before I leave Kabul. I guess the best time to try would be just before
sunset and just at daybreak, and hope for some greyline propagation.
If they are directional to the southwest at night, it's probably to protect
the contours of Syria and Turkey which are co-channel. But this possible
nighttime pattern puts them in conflict with Kenya on the same frequency.
I think I might just write them an email asking for information.
Best 73
