Glenn Hauser logs March 7, 2012 (Glenn Hauser) -- Message: 1 Date: Wed, 7 Mar 2012 08:20:22 -0800 (PST) From: Glenn Hauser wghau...@yahoo.com To: d...@yahoogroups.com Cc: NASWA na...@yahoogroups.com, s...@mailman.qth.net Subject: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs March 7, 2012 Message-ID: 1331137222.65584.yahoomailclas...@web114007.mail.gq1.yahoo.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 ** CUBA. 530, March 7 at 0641 UT, zero signal here from R. Enciclopedia or anything else. With auroral conditions, should have been enhanced if anything, and Cuba was quite audible on 670, 710, so CMBQ must have been off the air (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ROMANIA. 11730, March 7 at 1458, RRI IS, poor with heavy flutter, the OSOB from outside Cuba/N America during disturbed conditions. I normally don`t hear this at all; about to open Arabic, 300 kW, 140 degrees from Galbeni (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SPAIN. On March 7 I can listen to the March 6 podcast of REE`s `Espa?oles en la Mar` to confirm the PSA I heard about 3 minutes into the program about calling ``pan, pan, pan`` for urgent medical help on uVHF channel 16, or on 2182 kHz, and see http://www.salvamientomaritimo.es for more (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non]. Conditions are awful following geomag storms, but 12105 WTWW is certainly missing March 7 at 1420, long after usual 1400 start. 9479 and 9990 are on with super signals as usual, altho neighboring WWCR 13845 and 15825 are weak. Lower Tennesseans on 7490 and 9385 are inbooming. A JBA carrier on 12105 is presumably IBB SRI LANKA, normally smothered by WTWW. While having breakfast of red grapes from Chile, left a receiver with BFO on 12106, and heard WTWW carrier come on at *1453. Probably just cut on with Arabible in progress, as I`ve never heard any formal sign-on or sign-off from WTWW; intention is to operate 24 hours, altho WTWW-3 only has been curtailed to 14-06 approx. after a brief 24-hour usage of 12105, which in winter at least tends to not propagate thru the nightmiddle. In A-12 also plans to stay on 12105 24h via 40-degree rhombic, and 5765 is no longer registered for night, good news for Guam. From March 11 with imposition of DST, expect 12105 nominal span to shift to 13-05 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non]. March 7 circa 0630 UT, geomag storms have severely disrupted reception. Some North American signals (including Cuba) unusually have flutter on them, some do not, depending on distance and azimuth. 9 MHz is almost dead except for a bit of WWV on 1, so I check the 3-4-5-6-7 MHz bands to make comparisons: Fluttery signals, mostly weakened but some still sufficient: 3215 WWCR, 5000 WWV, 5025 Cuba, 5890 5935 WWCR, 6050 Cuba, 6060 Cuba-(more so than 6050), 6115-Canada/CRI, 6125-Cuba, 6165 Bonaire!, 6185 Mexico, 7275 7335 Tunisia, 7390 France, 7555 WEWN. Non-fluttery: 3185 WWRB, 4840 WWCR, 5085 5755 WTWW, 5965 Costa Rica, 6010 Cuba, 6070 CFRX, 6090 Anguilla, 6875 WYFR/RTI, 7245 Mauritania, 7405 Cuba/Mart?

[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs March 8, 2012
** BRAZIL. 4885, March 8 at 0640, Brazilian music, presumed R. Clube do Pará, the only 60m ZY reliably making it here overnight, but noticed the carrier wobbles, compared with BFO to e.g. the pure tone from 4840 WWCR. Also with CODAR swishes (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. Firedrake March 8, all with flutter, some of it heavy: 11500, poor at 1319 12230, JBA at 1323 12300, good at 1323, quite a contrast to the previous one 12500, good at 1323 13970, fair at 1324; none in the 14s 15500, fair at 1327 1, very poor at 1325 15900, good at 1325 16700, fair at 1328; none in the 17s, 18s It`s been a long time since we have found a Firedrake which is not // the others, and they sound the same as we tune along, but this time on another receiver I checked the 15s to be sure, and yes, they were all // (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 710, March 8 at 0653, R. Rebelde plays a lot of music, but during announcement I can hear an echo, as WRTH 2012 shows there are at least seven CMBA transmitters here ranging from 200 to 1 kW, with four 50`s and a 25 included; the Cubans haven`t mastered how to truly synchronize all this (like from a common satellite feed, duh, even to HQ transmitter in Habana), but who cares since they are really jammers to block ``wacky`` WAQI Miami? The echo even makes the jamming more annoying, and there`s always another frequency if anyone really wants to listen to Rebelde in the clear (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GUAM. 5765-USB, March 8 at 1306, cannot detect AFN, altho it`s not a good propagation day, but haven`t heard it recently either, and hope it`s only another of their sporadic absences (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** KOREA NORTH [non]. 6135, March 8 at 1334, can`t be sure Shiokaze is still here, via JSR Tokyo, but there are two weak signals hetting, plus stronger bonker on the lo side. It`s about time for Juche jamming to require a periodic jump to an alternate frequency, but nothing at all yet on 5910, 5985 or 6010, so absence probably just due to propagation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MYANMAR. 7110, March 8 at 1312, western song by YL, poor but better than usual, especially considering geomag storm is greatly attenuating Chinese transmitters on 7 MHz band, such as 7325 CRI Japanese service. By 1330 there is QRhaM both CW and SSB as YL is talking with Burmese intonation, news from and/or to Rakhine, or Thazin? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1607 monitoring: first airing confirmed on webcast of 9955 WRMI, UT Thursday March 8 after 0430. Other WRMI SW times: Sat 0900, 1600, 1830; then DST timeshifts start: Sunday March 11, 0800, 1530, 1730; Mon 0500, 1130. On WTWW, Thursday 2200 on 9479, UT Sunday 0500 on 5755. On WWRB, UT Friday 0430 on 3195. On WBCQ Area 51: UT Saturday 0200v on 5110v-CUSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 770, March 8 at 1344 UT, KKOB Albuquerque NM is good and steady, already on non-direxional 50 kW day power, during promo for imminent Rush commentary plus his 3-hour diatribe from 10 am, as if they were proud of him! Yet another anti-government, yea, anti-American station. March official sunrise is 1315 UT, which will soon be called 7:15 am MDT instead of 6:15 am MST. Faded before 1400. Enid sunrise today was 1252 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non]. 1300, March 8 at 1354 UT, XEP Juárez is still in, but close to a right angle and mutually nullable with equally strong KBRL McCook NE. Several ``Big Talker 1300`` IDs jointly with KICX which is 96.1 FM, evidently sharing the program, which was very strange, mixing music with sports talk, 1400 legal ID and Fox Sports News. In between nulls, the two produced a fast rippling SAH. XEP faded at 1352, resurged at 1358, an hour+ after sunrise here (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** VIETNAM [and non]. 7480, March 8 at 1310, oscillating siren jamming atop something talking, no doubt against scheduled FEBC Manila 100 kW due west from Iba 13-14 hour in a variety of minority languages, lest those ethnicities be Christianized. Aoki shows the current victim language Thursdays at 1300-1330 is Jeh (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 15300-SSB, March 8 at 1431, intruders, colloquial Spanish 2-way, only an occasional word recognizable such as ``kilo``. One side had engine noise, from a loud cockpit? Presumed narcotraffickers. Whistled into mike but no ``puta madres`` heard past 1438. This is what happens when stations such as RFI drastically curtail their SWBC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ---[Start Commercial]- Order your WRTH 2011: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2011 ---[End Commercial]--- Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com

[HCDX] Media Network Ends it's 30 Year Run
Andy Sennitt - Retiring Editor Media Network Media Network web editor Andy Sennitt announced late this afternoon that their international media news blog is closing down as of Saturday March 24th 2012. Andy is retiring. Radio Nederland Wereldomroep (Radio Netherlands Worldwide) is heading off in a very different direction in the future. So it makes sense to bow out knowing that a job has been well done. Several thousand people a week have relied on Andy’s sharp eye in spotting international media developments and their implications for those who work in the business of international story-telling. I understand the plan is to keep it online as a reference, since it’s a searchable record of media stories over the last decade that has more than academic value. That’s good news. I hope you’ll join me in thanking Andy for great time and effort he put into editing the on-line version of Media Network. There are over 15,000 stories on the blog going back to October 2003 and he’s continued the tradition of international media reporting in fine style. That can only come from someone who is fascinated by the medium – it’s not a job – it’s a passion. As you can hear in the Media Network vintage radio archive, Andy was a regular contributor from the very start of the programme in 1981. I particularly remember that show we did about the offshore radio days. Andy has spent his career following the media, especially radio. He worked for BBC Monitoring in Caversham Park, UK as well as becoming Editor of the World Radio TV Handbook in Denmark. He moved the HQ of the WRTH to Amsterdam and Diana Janssen recruited him to work on a web-version of the radio programme. It’s not going to be possible to replace the Media Network news blog. But I will increase the frequency and focus of this Critical Distance blog to include more international media stories. I have been playing around with the Storyful platform, which allows you to mix video and audio clips to add to the traditional text and photos. So if you’re interested to follow what we get up to, visit the blog (if you're not already there), subscribe and contribute to the next stage of the journey. We’re also on Facebook. I hope we can persuade Andy to drop by from time to time. But for now, Andy we salute you. Big time!

Hi Glenn, Have been listening to Voice of Nigeria over the past few days, as reception has been favorable. The transmission on 15120 between 1800 and 1900 has been strong. The heavy buzz, maybe a 50 Hz buzz is present throughout the 18-19 hour. Over the past couple days, VON has been broadcasting thru 2000 UT on 15120 kHz. There is a co-channel between 1857-1900, and I think this is the new transmitter site online. Audio at 1900 is excellent, no buzz whatever, and comes from the Abuja studios, and from what I conclude, is via the new transmitter (this is just my guess). An announcement at 1955 UT on March 8 said, Voice of Nigeria will soon commence a transmission of its programs from its Abuja Ultra modern transmitting station. A list of frequencies and languages were announced. VON also announced, If you are listening to this test transmission in any part of the world, we would be glad to get a reception report from you indicating exactly from where you are listening to us from and the quality of our signal The E-mail address announced was vonnews (at) yahoo.com Signal was great yesterday and today, with only minimum noise.
