No jamming for a change, allowing CFVP`s hectowatt to penetrate from Calgary, two megameters away. However, from only slightly further in the opposite direxion, overkill RHC English frequencies nearby, 6010 and 6050, not to mention 6060 and 6125, were overloading and desensitizing the FRG-7, so CFVP audible only at minor peaks (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. Firedrake Dec 5, before 1400: 15900, very poor at 1352 14970, very poor at 1349; none in the 16s, 17s, 18s 12230, JBA at 1354; none in the 13s 11500, poor at 1354; none in the 10s 9200, very good at 1355; none in the 7s Before 1600: 9200, good at 1535; none higher up to 19 MHz by 1538 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. 10000, Dec 5 at 1359, under strong WWV, hear CW ID for BPM, and I thought a quick voice announcement instead of WWVH? Just before WWV voice announcement (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 9540, Dec 5 at 1357, tuning across RHC, caught partial frequency announcement including ``13680`` which has been abandoned this season. 1358 asserts ``las nueve de la ma?ana en todo el territorio nacional`` and starting `news`. They should turn on Radio Reloj in the RHC studios to find out what time it really is. Furthermore it`s rhetorical fluff always to say ``all over the country``. Of course it`s the same time all over Cuba, in one single timezone. But let`s hope the time is two minutes fast only at RHC. At least this station has never employed timesignals, which would be far beyond its capabilities to convey correctly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** FRANCE [and non]. 5925, Dec 5 at 0634, RFI news in French // 7390, so strike not in effect here at the moment. 17690, Dec 5 at 1601, RFI Musique already replacing news in Spanish, VG signal now as during previous airing at 1400 on exactly same parameters, 250 kW, 305 degrees from GUIANA FRENCH, including southern/eastern USA among official CIRAF targets. HFCC says 1600-1630 is M-F only, while Aoki says both are sevendays. Announcement in French, not Spanish, at 1603 reminds us that RFI en Phnom Penh is on four-score-and-twelve MHz. 1608 playing Aretha in a song similar to R-E-S-P-E-C-T. 15300 direct checked at 1606 is newsing in French, unstricken (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** KOREA SOUTH [and non]. 6600, Dec 5 at 1349, Korean talk well atop noise jamming, which is unusual, and almost as much on // 6518, i.e. V. of the People, clandestine from the South to the North, altho Aoki says it`s 50 kW non-direxional, vs 250 kW from each jammer. Hmm, since does not broadcast in English, we ought to learn its Korean ID as in WRTH 2011: ``Inmin-e sori pangsong-imnida``, or ISPI, which would be an appropriate initialism for a station really run by the S. Korean National Intelligence Service! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MAURITANIA. 7245, Dec 5 at 0639 and last check 0650, still not on the air this date; you never know whether they will be on late, on early, or not at all. Yet, when on, there does not seem to be anything wrong with the transmitter, and spot-on frequency. Are there severe power supply unreliability problems even in the capital Nouakchott? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. Sunrise MW DX December 5, UT, only poor signals with no big SRS boost at the moment: 700, Dec 5 at 1319 UT, poor signal with 8-note tune on fiddle repeated over and over almost like an IS; 1320 gobierno federal PSA, 1321 another similar tune. 1325 a few words in unknown language, then repetitive drumming; fading by 1330. Sounds quite rustic, an indigenous station? Most likely XEETCH, La Voz de los Tres Rios, Etchojoa, Sonora, which 2011 IRCA Mexican log says broadcasts in Spanish, Mayo [sic], Yaqui and Garijio. BTW, I previously logged this in late November 2010, but it was erroneously published in Dec 2011 CIDX Messenger as a 2011 log, along with several others. Another indigenous on 700 is XEXPUJ, X`pujil, Campeche, La Voz de la Sierra Norte [sic], LV del Coraz?n de la Selva, in Spanish, Mayan and Choi languages --- but it`s a bit late in the day for it, and my log was looping WSW. How in the world do you pronounce X`pujil? 710, Dec 5 at 1320 UT, ad or promotion mentions an auditorio [building, not audience] somewhere, ``B-M Radio``, so XEDP in Ciudad Cuauht?moc, Chihuahua, briefly atop QRM, KGNC? This slogan/corporate name is not found in the IRCA Log, but here`s a view: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/8957899 730, Dec 5 at 1323 UT, Radio Viva Villa singing ID, i.e. XEHB, San Francisco del Oro, a.k.a. Hidalgo del Parral, Chihua2; as heard better many October mornings. Its very name could be construed as anti-American (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TAIWAN [non]. 6875, Dec 5 at 0638, RTI still in German instead of Spanish via WYFR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 15825, Dec 5 at 1604, WWCR-1 seems to have cleaned up its signal, not splattering over half the 19m band, but how about the plus/minus 15.6 kHz spurs? I can still detect JBA carriers just below 15810 and above 15840; fundamental is strong but not super-strong at the moment which would bring up the spurs, and possibly the splatter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Mon, 5 Dec 2011 10:23:57 -0800 (PST) From: Stewart MacKenzie <wdx...@yahoo.com> To: Anker Peterson <anker.peter...@mail.dk>, BCL NEWS <bcln...@yahoogroups.com>, Duane Fischer <dfisc...@usol.com>, Hard Core DX <hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com>, Maryann Kehoe <atl...@webtv.net>, Prime Time Shortwave <primetimeshortw...@yahoogroups.com>, SWL QTH <s...@mailman.qth.net> Cc: Adrian Peterson <adr...@awr.org>, Allen Graham <agra...@hcjb.org.ec> Subject: [HCDX] [bclnews.it] Glenn Hauser logs December 3-5, 2011 Message-ID: <1323109437.22798.yahoomailclas...@web30708.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 From: Glenn Hauser <wghau...@yahoo.com> Subject: [bclnews.it] Glenn Hauser logs December 3-5, 2011 To: d...@yahoogroups.com Cc: s...@mailman.qth.net Date: Sunday, December 4, 2011, 9:20 PM ** CHINA. Firedrake Dec 4, before 2400: 16700, fair at 2357; none in the 17s, 18s 16100, very good at 2357 14970, fair at 2359 13920, fair at 2359-2400*; none in the 12s (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 9810, Sunday Dec 4 at 2352 UT, middle repeat airing of RHC`s `En Contacto` in progress as Manolo conveys good news that the special QSL cards designed by a Guatemalan listener, commemorating Manolo & Malena`s 35th anniversary on RHC (tho she has now retired/withdrawn), of which only ten were printed, have been reprinted, so it`s not too late to send a report and get one of those rarities. Responding to an inquiry, Manolo mentions something else that gets my attention: in giving the new times for EC since Nov 13, he says that Cuba`s time change was on that date. I thought it was Oct 30, as in previous years it was the last Sunday in October; in 2010: Oct 31. I`m quite sure that when I checked http://www.timeanddate.com/time/dst/2011.html in late October 2011, it did show Oct 30, 2011, but now it too shows Sunday Nov 13, 2011 as the DST end date. So that explains why RHC`s Spanish and some of its other programming abruptly shifted one real UT hour later on that date. Why Nov 13? Just to be out of step with the Great Satan, er, I mean Imperalismo Yanqui; and the rest of the world. It does not explain why any serious international SW service would be governed by local time changes --- either stay on UT constantly, or change on the dates in your target area(s), NOT local time, which should be irrelevant (unless you are really talking to yourselves). Nor does it explain why any DST is necessary in a tropical country where there is little variation in sunrise-sunset times. Manolo gave these Sunday times for EC: 1435, ``sobre 2340``, meaning approximately --- must have started around then this week, but some weeks already at 2335; and 0235 [UT Mondays]. I had started listening on 9810, then found 9710 was stronger, but modulation there cutting out below peaks; skipping 25m, 13690 was better, and 13640 was best. Why would the European antenna roughly 90 degrees off from here surpass the S American antenna, roughly opposite from here? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 89.5 MHz, Dec 3 at 1830 UT, parked near the intersexion of West OK Garriott and Oakwood Rd, after consuming three free pancakes at IHOP, there is a fully-quieted strong signal here with hum. I assume it is a nearby car with an RF feeder left on. In the next hour I drive a mile west and a mile east and I am still hearing it, altho starting to lose out. That`s a lot of range for an RF feeder. Then Dec 4 at 2150 I am again hearing it as far as another two-three miles east, toward downtown Enid. FCC FM Query for OK does not show any likely sources; there is a 205-watt CSN satellator in OKC, which is enough to block 50 kW KWGS Tulsa from getting into the OKC area, but that can`t be what I am getting in Enid. Must keep an ear on 89.5. See DXLD 11-18 where I had another 89.5 carrier last May, discovered right across the street from IHOP at Braum`s dairy store. If it keeps up I really must try to track it down exactly. Or maybe someone`s `part 15` warming up for an Xmas sound and light show like we had last winter? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SPAIN. 6055, Dec 5 at 0007 I notice that REE`s English hour is instead dead air, open carrier. I leave a receiver on there for a bihour: no automatic timesignal at 0030, FWIW. Still DA past 0100 when would normally go into Castilian, still DA at 0145; finally at 0152 Spanish modulation cuts on, and timesignal is back at 0200. Someone finally woke up at Noblejas. Fortunately for regular listeners, I think the English shows for Sundays are just repeats from earlier in the week (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non]. 9430, Dec 4 at 2348, Xmas music with organ has taken over 9425 where I had been listening to Hindi comedy music, including yodeling a bihour earlier in the madrugada there. It`s // 9355, 15400, and best by far 15440. So YFR is still emitting only one program stream from Okeechobee, due to ``meltdown`` of automation system a few weeks ago, all English instead of Spanish, Portuguese, French or English as originally scheduled for B-11 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1593 monitoring: starting 0333 UT Monday Dec 5 confirmed on Area 51 webcast, http://www.splatterbox.us:5110/listen.pls following Larry Will`s Free Radio (Live) program; and presumably also on WBCQ 5110v-CUSB. This was a last minute change, after announcement that WOR could no longer be carried after 0400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ------------------------------------ BCLNEWS.IT, the only italian updated DX web site!!! ------------------------------ Click on http://www.bclnews.it ------------------------------ Yahoo!
