** CHINA. Firedrake Dec 15 at 1448: 8400 fair, 9000 JBA, 10210 none, 11300 good 
steady at S9+10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. DentroCuban Jamming Command against nothing, on 7365 pulsing 
away at 0623 Dec 15, managing to impede two adjacent frequencies in French: 
7370 Romania and weaker 7360 Vatican. The only time jamming is `necessary` on 
7365 is when R. Martí is using it, -0500, but hey, close enough for Commie 
government work. 

Much heavier jamming on 7405 which R. Martí is axually using until 0700. But at 
0705 check, no jamming at all on 7365 or 7405, instead concentrating on 6030 
and 5980. A brief very strong open carrier and tone did appear on 7405 until 
0706, Greenville testing? See also USA: WRMI; UNIDENTIFIED 15580.

RHC, UT Dec 15 at 0704* tuned in 6010 just in time to hear English news being 
cut off the air abruptly four minutes late; continued on 6060, while 6140 in 
English before 0700 had switched to Spanish, along with 6120 and 6150. This 
appears to be the nominal pattern for what happens around 0700 (Glenn Hauser, 
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO [and non]. 6185, XEPPM, Dec 15 at 0630 with space music one might 
have heard on ``Music from the Hearts of Space``; tnx to the eclectic format of 
R. Educación, you never know what kind of music they will be playing during the 
all-too-brief QRM-free window, which tonight lasted until *0645 Brasília 
playing Silent Night in progress in Portuguese (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

** TUNISIA. Monitored RTT on 7275 again Dec 15 to see when it would go off, at 
0627:30 like yesterday? Almost: YL started outro to previous music, with 
cuckoo-clock sounds, but faded her out after a few Arabic words, OC and off by 
0627:20; continued on // 7335 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 9955, WRMI, clear of jamming Dec 15 at 0657 ending ``El 
Camino`` religious program, brief fill music, 0659 IDs and reception report 
info by Jeff White, 0701 R. Prague relay in English. Back to usual very heavy 
jamming, no WRMI audible before 1500 UT. Between 1505 and 1510 the jamming 
noise gradually abated audiblizing another R. Prague relay in English (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Two MARS nets noted the morning of Dec 15: 4623-SSB, Navy MARS, which 
still exists, was just securing at 1422 with ``final comments``. Copied one 
call among several weak stations, NNN0YQP, the last three letters expressed 
fonetically. Frequency approximate as did not have a chance to measure it or 
determine which sideband.

Googling on that call I got ONE hit, Sept 2009! Internet security must be 
pretty tight. http://www.navymars.org/national/cmi/CMIB-2009-35.txt
``NNN0YQP JAMEWS  WI   10 YEARS OF SERVICE``

4517-USB, Air Force MARS, 1425 with NCS AFE7DM, strongest signal, discussing 
QRM, where it was being heard and where not in parts of the ``Midwest`` --- and 
just what states that term applies to. Called the QRM ``sweeper``, ``Star 
Wars``, one station even imitating it with his mouth, but never called it 
CODAR, making me wonder if they know what it really is. AFE7DM was using group 
callsign NCM3 in his calls for other check-ins. Some of them were hearing CODAR 
relayed from other stations over linx. 1438 ``the net is free`` and individual 
stations contacted each other without management by the net control station.

Googling on that call got five hits, including:
http://region3digital.tripod.com/
``AFE7DM (NC Area Digital Manager) is Conrad Steinel, AFA7VP
located in Emporia, KS``. NC means North Central, even tho Emporia`s latitude 
is about one sesquidegree south of the geographical center of the Lower 48 in 
north-central Kansas (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Another quick MW bandscan on the caradio at a hotspot in western Enid 
the afternoon of Dec 14, times UT!

1200, at 2137, skywave in, something in Spanish atop WOAI, various ads for 
juguetes, etc., causing slow SAH with WOAI; later mentioned ``Chicago informa … 
1,200 AM``. So it`s WRTO, 10 kW, ``La Tremenda`` per NRC AM Log 2009-2010. 
Strangely enough, per NRC pattern book, its daytime design has a null to the 
SE, but plenty of signal to the SW. WOAI soon faded up overtaking it, but 1200 
is hardly a ``clear channel`` any more!

540, at 2144, KWMT Ft Dodge IA, groundwave, with two or three IDs in passing 
during info about local events. Usually it`s a mix with KDFT, but no sign of 
Spanish this time; the latter off the air? If it stays off I may finally have a 
chance of inpulling KNMX by daytime groundwave, which ought to be possible here.

570, at 2147, usual mix of KLIF with groundwave from WNAX SD, way under but 
audible with SAH of about 3.5 Hz. Someone was wondering whether WNAX was 
running usual spex; seems so to me (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15580, listening to weak signal from VOA in English news, Dec 15 
at 1451, it was overridden for

Terve,
Itse olen ostellut pari kertaa huuto.netistä aika edullisesti. En tiedä onko

Voi löytyä rakennuspuoleta tai sitten harrasteradioista.

Tervehdys,

Osaako kukaan vinkata hyvää paikkaa antennilangan hankintaan?

BKL/Mediaplaza on myynyt jo loppuun omat muovipäällysteisensä, eikä 
parikaapelin halkaisukaan innostuta. Eli mistä saisi valmista tavaraa?

Onko kenelläkään vinkata potentiaalisia sähkötarvikeliikkeitä tai muita tahoja?

Re: [DX] Mistä antennilankaa?

2009-12-15 Thread Tarmo Kontro
Tuo BKLn lankojen loppuminen oli paha isku, nytkin olen joutunut
ohuiden bogien varaan, jotka puput aina syö poikki. Lukeeko BKL tätä
listaa?  pieni toive langoista.

Katselin mm YE:n sivuja, jossa monisäikeistä kohtuullista lankaa lienee
olevan kaupan.
Siis ohuia lankoja; paksummat voi rakentaa tietysti killusta - voi ne
pitää halkaisemattakin. Halkaisematon killu on helppo mitata (käymättä
koko lankaa läpi) yhdistämällä toisen pään ja mittaamalla kulkeeko
virta.

[HCDX] 530 CUBA ?????

2009-12-15 Thread Konnie Rychalsky

Information appreciated... Call? Location?

 

530  CM??  CUBA  Havana assumed  Nov 28+++, 0300;  Rarely reported, yet 
frequently heard here VG signal... Throughout November  December, have noted 
YL with EZ mx, many US pop tune instrumentals, usually heard well from  - 
0400 UTC.  Signal is not from the 530 Canadian outlet with foreign language 
programming (and direction 90 degrees from the Cuban signal.) Information 
appreciated... Call? Location?

 

Oddly enough, I have not seen this one mentioned in any Bogdan Chiochiu Pan-Am 
reports.  Only other mentions were Glenn Hauser's DX Listening Digest June 6, 
2005 in a drive by; and mention in Crystal Radio contest from at least two 
years ago.

 

There, something so rare, it's official... a log of this station.  (Konnie

It is Radio Enciclopedia, Habana, reported numerous times in DXLD. Try 
searching under that name. Network callsign is CMBQ. It is on 530 to jam Radio 
Marti, which is no longer on 530. 73, Glenn Hauser

Ok, I think I'm tuned on the Cuban station. 12-16-09 @ 0015 UTC. Weak 
signal here in Western Pennsylvania due to my poor loop antenna.No reception on 
50 foot long wire. I can hear a woman announcer with possibly news, some 
unknown music, but with fairly strong background pulsating lower frequency type 
het. Best I can do.
