HARDCORE GRAVEYARD DX TEST THIS WEEKEND EXTENDED HOURS
It just keeps getting better. Not only has Steve Rubin, owner of KCUP agreed to
test on Saturday evening, January 30, 2021 starting at 10PM PST (0600 UTC)
until 0600 AM PST (1400 UTC) on Sunday morning, but he?s also agreed to a
special kind of test:
The ?Black Coffee, No Sugar, No Creme? AKA No Decaf Allowed Test is Here.
Eight solid hours of only legal voice IDs, Morse Code, and sweeps, sweeps,
sweeps.
The Courtesy Program Committee has long dreamed of doing a test with absolutely
no ?filler? material. Normally we include jingles, vintage promos, music of
various kinds?maybe some holiday themed content as well. This type of stuff is
great fun if you?re close to the station, but for those on the fringe of
reception every second ?wasted? on a singing jingle is a second that may be the
difference between a new log and noise.
This weekend, we?ll be serving just straight java, piping hot from KCUP. Code,
Code, Code, followed by sweeps, sweeps, sweeps. Only the top five pieces of
source material that are proven to best cut through the noise. The only
exception will be a voice ID that will run a few times each hour just to keep
things legal.
This is your best chance to put this station into your log book. Don?t miss it.
VERIFICATIONS
Reception reports will be handled by the Courtesy Program Committee (CPC) at
the request of KCUP. Reception reports should be e-mailed to:
[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>
We strongly prefer that you include MP3 sound file recordings of the best 2-3
minutes of your reception. If you cannot record the DX, then detailed written
reports can also be accepted. If your report is confirmed, you will receive a
custom designed QSL card as a PDF file attachment. It is suitable for printing.
We will no longer accept reports via USPS mail.
If you are interested in claiming the record, please include the following
additional information:
A.) NRC Member? YES or NO.
B.) Exact longitude and latitude of your receiving location. If you use a
remote SDR, you must use the lat/long of that receiver.
C.) Claimed distance in miles to the transmitter location of KCUP.
If anyone exceeds a reception of 542 miles, we?ll report that information to
Tim Hall.
SPECIAL THANKS
Our special thanks to Steve Rubin, owner of KCUP for this rare DX test from
Oregon and the opportunity for some lucky DXer to break Tim Hall?s record.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
** CANADA. 223-MCW kHz, Jan 29 at 0707 UT, dash and YYW, 1000 watt ND
beacon at Armstrong, Ontario. Often like now the first one audible
tuning up the band; tho there are plenty more Canadians and
Unitedstatesians listed starting at 200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** COLOMBIA. Correxion to a recent log: 600, VOA via HJHJ started at
0059 UT January 27, not 2359 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11820, Jan 29 at 0325, JBA carrier from presumed 2 x 5910 CRI
relay; equivalent to 11850 JBA carrier of RHC itself. If putting out
as much signal as before, still not propagating. Something`s always
wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NIGERIA. 7255-, Jan 29 at 0615, no signal from VON, not detectable
on 9690- nor 11770- either. It`s been quite a while since the *0555 IS
and Hausa on 7254.9 has been heard; when active it`s very strong but
not always well modulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** PERU. Correxion to a recent log: 4810 is Radio Logos, not R.
Chazuta, which is the location (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SWITZERLAND. 18165-USB, Jan 28 at 1545-1555, quick pro-forma
contacts with North American pileups; as usual have to listen multiple
minutes to catch the callsign correctly, uttered too quickly altho
fonetikaly by station and seldom by the pileuppers. Spells his name
ROLF and is in NW Switzerland: HB9RDE
With views of his antennas, etc.:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 379-MCW kHz, Jan 29 at 0721 UT, ND beacon DL, mixing with
weaker RUE, at slightly different pitches and periods. Normally only
or dominant here is RUE, 25 watts at RUssellvillE, Arkansas. DL is 50
watts from DuLuth - Pike Lake, Minnesota. RNA Signal list explains:
DL LSB/USB = 1028/1020, period 5.9 5 (means 5.95??) named `Pykla`
RUE LSB/USB = 1015/1127, period 4.4 seconds
These mostly JBA LW/MW logs are always on E-W longwire which I assume
provides more gain than the DX-398 internal antenna which however
would maybe allow nulling choices for such as these at right angles
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2070 monitoring: confirmed final
repeat UT Thursday January 28 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, VG S9/+15 into

Egypt?, Finland, France, Germany, India, Korea South,, Lithuania,
North America, Per?, Russia and non, Spain, Sri Lanka, USA; and the
propagation outlook
{slight correxion: USA, the AZ log of COVID TIS on 1650 was at
``1100`` which I now realize must have been EST, even tho it`s
inapplicable in AZ! I converted to 18 UT as if it had been MST +7,
instead of +5 = 16 UT}

not necessarily in US funds.
First broadcast of WOR 2071 just minutes after completion, confirmed
UT Friday January 28 at 0130 on WRMIs: 5850 VG direct; 7780 G S8/S9+10
to UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 7571.6, Jan 28 at 0234, WRMI TOMBS on 7570 has unusual QRM
from rapid beeping at rate of about 160/minute, i.e. carrier cutting
on and off from the upper side as if it were deliberate SE Asian style
jamming. Normally blasting 7570 is only S9+10 with noisy modulation of
its own as often the case out of Walterboro. 0326 recheck, QRM is off
and 7570 has ascended to S9+10/20 but with undermodulation (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5830, Jan 29 at 0230 and still 0333, dead air from WTWW-1
instead of SFAW, SOB. During the hour signal had dropped from S9+10 to
S7-S9; meanwhile, 5085 WTWW-2 continued rockmusicking distortedly at
both times. Ted`s stuff is obviously primary, even tho the heirs of
Laporte`s pass? Pastor Pete Peters own the thing (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search January 29 at 1335
since I`m unfortunately awake before sunrise now right at 1335; on the
DX-398 so I can rotate DFing: 1566 from NW, no doubt FEBC S Korea,
flanked by even weakers 1557 and 1575, but none lower by now, not even
972 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ALBANIA [non]. See USA: WRMI 5850
** CHINA. 11520, Jan 29 at 2348-2350, JBA algo, suspected CNR1 jammer,
so look for more below: 11170 S1 in Chinese? 11150 two? JBA carriers
slightly apart; 10820 fluttery. 11520 chex as vs RFA Tinian; 11170 &
11150 & 10820 vs Sound of Hope, all per Aoki/NDXC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** CUBA. 11820, Jan 30 at 0332, no signal from CRI relay harmonic 2 x
5910, which is S9+30/40. I keep checking for a reprise of the bigsig
it achieved four nights ago but not since; operational or
propagational? Latter continues poor with lower MUFs as 11850 is also
inaudible if on, and 11670 is a JBA carrier; it seems 11760 is always
off before now, which BTW briefly jumped to 11755 per Harold Sellers,
Jan 29 at 2132. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** CZECHIA [non]. See USA; WRMI 5850
** NORTH AMERICA. 4060-USB, Jan 30 at 0303, weak S6-S7 pirate with
ballad, still at 0330 but off by 0342. These logs say it`s Bread and
Puppet Radio International, another Zekey thing, altho no later than
0250; and as usual those further east reporting much better signals:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,77372.0.html
No pirate activity heard on 42 mb, but there`s more on 74 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 4030-AM, Jan 30 at 0305, weak music S6-S8, still
0330 and JBA past 0342. A few reports here say Ball Smacker Radio:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,77375.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SLOVAKIA [non]. See USA: WRMI 5850
** TURKEY. 5960, Jan 30 at 0002, VOT is still on opening German at
S9/+10 direct, having failed to turn off by 2355 after English. Still
going at 0023 when I tune via KB0FX remote in MO, also S9/+10 and
finally turns off during music at 0036*. Should this recur 24 hours
later, another collision with The Mighty KBC. Jim Leppard, PTSW iog,
had wondered if I had anything to report about Romania or Turkey? No
and yes. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 5850, Jan 29 at 2300, R. Tirana via WRMI is marred by loud
squeaking intermittently. It gets worse and worse and continues into
R. Prague after 2330, so at 2334 I notify WRMI:
``Urgent --- 5850 squeaking! Since 2300 trying to listen to Tirana on
5850, heavy squeaking interrupting, getting worse. I thought it was a
their problem. But it`s still happening after 2330 with Prague relay
so it must be your problem. I think it stopped briefly during the ID
up to 2330.``
And at 0048: ``It was still there after 2330 but abating. Did not
listen continuously. After 0003 Jan 30 in Slovak it was gone. I`m
rather sure this was coming out of your transmitter rather than QRM.
At its worst toward the end of Tirana, it interrupted the program
modulation. Initially on Tirana it did not, but was in addition to
continuous program mod. "Is there a mouse in the house?"
Unlike the jamming-like QRM from a carrier CW-like beeping on 7571.6
which I had last night UT Jan 29 at 0234, rate of about 160 per
minute. Glenn``
If anyone hear the 5850 squeaking again, let WRMI know ASAP. BTW, I
was getting this both on my own rx and the KB0FX remote in MO.
As for the 7570 QRM problem, it`s happening again, Jan 30 at 0238
check vs BS, beeps from 7571.6, but different, ? la ``bonker`` utes
--- every fourth beat would be prolonged and mushy rather than a pure
tone; and not always 4 apart (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 6159.92v, Jan 30 at 0057, WBCQ concluding Area 61 truncated
old-time-radio hour with ``we`re all being played`` --- at first I
thought it was about 45-politix; S8 into KB0FX remote in MO which in
SAM mode reads carrier minus 80v Hz from 6160.000.
7490.188v, Jan 30 at 0058, then I check the other WBCQ, when tuned to
7490.000 reads plus 188.3v Hz, stronger S8-S9, but the air is dead
until just before 0100 ID and WTO opening `AAAWWW` which by now is
also on 6160-. By the end of hour recheck, 7 has faded down to weaker
than 6. As for what ensued between, welcome back to John Carver,
mid-north Indiana, who is again online and able to hear it; his report
has been posted on the WOR iog (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6925-USB, Jan 30 at 0230, occasional weak syllables,
unsure of language or piracy while two will be active 4+ MHz; see
NORTH AMERICA (Glenn Hauser OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 10790 very approx. and broad, Jan 29 at 2351 after
tuning for CNR1 jammers, here`s a terrible spurblob with talk cadence
modulation, occasional bits of music, totally unreadable, not even in
FM mode, nor can I be sure it`s English or Spanish.
In this area I suspect 10.7 MHz IF radiation from some neighbor`s FM
radio, so I quickly scan localish signals thruout the FM and AM bands
on another receiver, but nothing matches. Then I check 31m for strong
signals such as RHC, REE --- no match either. Goes off at 2400* which
make it non-local, but likely originating on SW. R. Mart? might have
been, but Grimesland turned off 9565 several seconds earlier. Ideas?
