Looking for FT5ZM Amsterdam Island, nominal 24955-USB on penultimate day on air, but Feb 11 at 2257 only hear a modest pileup on 24945-USB including KB1WH; and at 2307 someone working an HL5 on 24945-USB. Said they would start dismantling Feb 12 http://www.amsterdamdx.org/new-pictures-from-amsterdam-island/ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** DIEGO GARCIA. 12759-USB, Feb 12 at 0114 check, trace of SSB talk from presumed AFN, just before booming AM signal from 11905 Sri Lanka, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** EGYPT. 9720, Feb 12 at 0109, R. Cairo is managing to modulate for a change, but the music is extremely distorted; better to keep quiet. During Spanish service, unchecked what happened with English after 0200. Meanwhile, 9965, Feb 12 at 0109 has constant pitch whine, but the talk modulation is much better, readable for the Arable (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GREECE. 7475 // better 9420, Feb 12 at 0106, Helliniki Radiophonia is on the air again with good signals, pop music. Wolfgang B?schel found it missing from all frequencies Feb 10 and 11 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** HAWAII. 24959-USB, Feb 11 at 2255, W1AW/KH6 calling QRZ and working numerous mainlanders; so this is Hawaii week in the bi-state marathon of W1AW surrogates (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 1580, Feb 10 at 2137 UT, KOKB Blackwell is dead air as heard on the caradio, enough carrier to quieten the channel compared to some neighbors modulating. [Date correct, omitted from previous report; had left note in the car]. Recheck about 24 hours later on Feb 11, it`s back to sports talk (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** PERU. 5980, Feb 12 at 0101, R. Chaski carrier followed until cutoff at 0102:26.5*, which is 16.5 seconds later than three nights ago, keeping up the +5.5 seconds/night precession (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SINT MAARTEN. 24938-USB, Feb 11 at 2259, PJ7TM mentions he`s running 100 watts to a vertical. QRZ.com lookup: PJ7TM Thomas Metz Villa 13 Point Pirouette St. Martin St. Maarten Other home call is K2GSJ in Sag Harbor NY, but at PJ7 five months a year. Also says, `` OPERATING --- I refused to work a number of stations that consistently and deliberately break into an existing QSO, or when they call out of their turn, when I have called out a specific geographical area or when I call a station with only partial call letters. I very much understand when people make mistakes, because we all do. But when a station continues with the malpractice of constantly calling, even after being asked to stop, then there is no excuse for such behavior. I just note the call and no matter how many times I am called by the station, I will not respond to it. You stand a far better chance of making it into the log by respecting the DX code of conduct! When fellow hams continue this bad practice after being asked nicely and repeatedly to stop, I then just go QRT as it stops being fun anymore. Please follow the DX code of conduct. Thank you! Tom Metz`` (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SRI LANKA. 11905, Feb 2 at 0114, SLBC has just come on air with big open carrier, heavy flutter, then drumming, giving way to 3-pip timesignal ending 10.5 seconds later than 0115:00, opening in Hindi pronouncing full name SLBC as in English, on to nice S Asian vocal music. Meanwhile India had not been audible on 11985 and barely audible on 11740 in service to SL until 0115 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 9955, Tue Feb 11 at 2328, WRMI is in Spanish atop pulse jamming, talking about a golpe de estado in Argentina, probably historical DX program, mentions LR1, Casa Florida, etc. Since it continues past 2330, most likely the hour-long `La Rosa de Tokio`. This hour has been scheduled as F?mily Radio in Spanish, the last remnant of ``WYFR``, but yesterday, Mon Feb 10, Ivo Ivanov heard Brother Scare on it and concluded it was a permanent M-F schedule change. Not: things remain flexible at WRMI; who knows what will happen tomorrow. After 0100 UT Wed Feb 12, 9955 is airing `Wavescan`. 7570 was previously on from 2200 with BS but still not heard by 2330 Feb 11, altho it had been on at 0641 as in my previous report. Next check, Feb 12 at 0107, 7570 is on again with BS, so apparently reactivated on a more limited schedule than before. This is // and synchro with 11565 WRMI, checked just in case there might have been a station/site switchero like there was on 7490, with which this is now way out of synch, WBCQ at this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5110v-CUSB, UT Wed Feb 12 at 0104 and 0117 chex, WBCQ is not on the air. Probably coming on after 0155 now four nights a week as per log UT Friday Feb 7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 0537 UT February 12 ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Wed, 12 Feb 2014 08:40:22 +0100 From: "Wolfgang Bueschel_DF5SX" <buesch...@email.de> To: "HCDX" <hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com>, "DXLD" <d...@yahoogroups.com> Subject: Re: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs February 10-12, 2014 Message-ID: <83A63D616DC44F3D955DB5A369A21CB1@HNPC2> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1"; reply-type=original ----- Original Message ----- From: "Glenn Hauser" <wghau...@yahoo.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 12, 2014 3:44 AM Subject: [dxld] CFRX is back! > Chris Lobdell and Stephen Wood in MA report that CFRX has just reactivated > on 6070.

That should lessen as spring approaches and disappear in A-14 with VR probably moving back up to 7250, at 0530. Tnx to Stephen Wood in MA for tip earlier Feb 12 that it was back on, but so is Radio Habana Cuba, which glommed onto the frequency shortly after CFRX crashed a few months ago, still scheduled 00-05 UT in Spanish. In the meantime, CFRB stopped running comedy overnight. Here`s the Wednesday schedule in EST [UT -5] from http://www.newstalk1010.com/schedule.aspx 12:00 AM - 2:00 AM Humble & Fred 2:00 AM - 4:00 AM Loveline With Dr. Drew & Mike 4:00 AM - 5:00 AM The Week in Review with John Tory 5:00 AM - 5:30 AM The Early Edition with Robert Turner 5:30 AM - 9:00 AM Adrienne Batra & Peter Shurman 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM Jerry Agar 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM Beyond the Mic with Mike Bullard 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM Jim Richards Showgram 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM Live Drive with John Tory 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM Friendly Fire with Ryan Doyle and John Downs 10:00 PM - 12:00 AM The Late Shift with Bill Hayes IIRC, Mayor Ford is no longer welcome at CFRB, but how about his brother? I suspect they really have news on the hour and perhaps other times, ignored above. Next check at 1437 UT Feb 12, could not detect a carrier, which should have been possible even in daytime. Would those closer to Toronto confirm whether it`s still on the air in daytime? Yes, Wolfgang B?schel did with remote receivers which were still getting CFRX at 1900 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1708, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA [and non]. 11780, Feb 12 at 1504, Firedrake with flutter, CCI from presumed victim as in Aoki, VOA Uzbek via Kuwait during this semihour only, as the ChiCom interfere in the internal affairs of Uzbekistan. 9570, Feb 12 at 1513, more Firedrake, also vs VOA Uzbek, this time via Vatican, only during this semihour. FD fair and clear here, off at 1537 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also CUBA [and non] ** CUBA [and non]. 11760, Feb 12 at 1449, RHC with heavy CCCCCCI, tnx to their good friends the ChiCom who have to jam Sound of Hope with CNR1, at 1300-1500 (and per Aoki also Sat & Sun 09-11 before RHC comes up). Yes, 1503 check, RHC is mostly in the clear. Commies vs Commies! 15340, Feb 12 at 1453, RHC is missing yet again, but not much signal from HCJB Australia to uncover this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 7570, Feb 12 at 0640, WRMI is on again with Brother Scare, VG signal. Finally dated Feb 11, WRMI graphic schedule grid has been updated, showing 7570 at 0100-1100, 315 degrees, same transmitter #11 as used on 9955 at 14-22. So that adds 10 hours a day to the BS overkill, back up to 58 instead of 48. No other apparent changes in the frequency grid (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also USA: WWRB ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1708 monitoring: ready for first broadcast UT Thursday Feb 13 at 0430 on WRMI 9955.

Find the link at the left side of http://www.rmrc.de (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 9350 & 9390 peaks, and also everywhere between them and fundamental 9370, Feb 12 at 1443, huge humbuzz atop Brother Scare on WWRB. The transmitter had been putting out spurs for a week or two, but now it`s gone completely bonkers. Notified Dave he should take it off and repair it. Next check at 2012, still on with humbuzz but weaker and not so spurry. Presumably the same transmitter funxions at night on 3185, but have not noticed any such problems around that (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. They must have read it in the WRTH Update: WINB homepage says: ``NOTICE Beginning March 1, 2014, WINB will broadcast the entire schedule on 9265 kHz.`` This means the signal will sink into the summer daytime noise level, but why not? Already gone is the only program worth listening to, `Wavescan`, instead an unID gospel huxter at 2015 Wednesday Feb 12 on 13570. I was going to http://www.winb.com to check the program schedule on that, which has finally been updated as of Feb 9. Wed 2000-2030 UT is now `King`s Embassy of the Air`. And Wavescan is nowhere else on it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 7505-SSB, Feb 12 at 0638 tuneacross, ``how copy?`` and out. Sounds like a US military frequency, maybe MARS. They may have something to say about WRNO intruding (or somewhere near there), or maybe cool with it for only three hours a day?
