[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs March 15-16, 2012

[Glenn Hauser]

** CHINA. Firedrake March 16: none found before 1300

Before 1400:
13920, very poor at 1356
11500, very poor at 1356

Before 1500:
13970, poor with heavy flutter at 1453
13920, slightly stronger than 13970 at 1453
11500, very poor at 1454; no others found 10-17 MHz
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GERMANY [non]. 21780, March 15 at 1840, VG S9+22 signal in Hausa. Could it 
be Greenville? No, it`s DW as soon IDed, via Kigali, RWANDA, 250 kW at 295 
degrees. If in English, would have been equivalent to a fine North American 
service; dream on. Much stronger than 21690 RFI via Guiana French (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [non]. 5910, March 16 at 1333, Sea Breeze sinking into the 
daytime noise level, now starting almost an hour after sunrise here, but enough 
to recognize the accented YL in English as reliably on Fridays only, with the 
old electronic stingers every few sex between news items; via JSR Tokyo/Yamata, 
JAPAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MAURITANIA. 7245, March 16 at 0458, IGIM is already on in Arabish talk; 
maybe all night on Fribbath? Have never been able to make any definite 
correlation with its very flexible appearances (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST) 

** NIGERIA. 15120.0, March 15 at 1834, VON very poor but on-frequency so it`s 
the old Ikorodu transmitter as usual during this hour. At *1856:55, the new 
Abuja transmitter cuts on the low side causing het, break for half a minute and 
back on at 1857:52 producing E-note het, i.e. 165 Hz, so that makes it 
15119.835, but it`s wavering slightly as one transmitter or the other, or both, 
are unstable. (The new one being constantly off-frequency does not speak well 
for Thalès/Thomson: get the crystal- grinder to replace it!). Both transmitters 
remained on the air and hetting each other until the old one finally went off 
at 1901:14, as the newscast by YL has already started. (This does not speak 
well for VON and its fancy new equipment finally being paid for. Clearly, they 
are not ready for the big time, as they can`t even coördinate to avoid 
interfering with themselves.)

Reception was a little better today, but still a strain to copy it; 1932 break 
for ID and timecheck during `60 Minutes`. Meanwhile flanked by REE on both 
sides: the splash from Noblejas 15110 was worse than the weaker signal from 
adjacent Cariari on 15125, which had its own transmitter problems, SPAIN q.v.

As usual, nothing from Nigeria or anywhere audible on 15120 before or after 
1500 March 16, unlike other reports (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA. 15460, March 16 at 1342, RRI German service with sufficient signal 
playing some fine piano jazz, outro as from the Academic Jazz Group at Iashi, a 
cultural centre. Next, ``This Is How We Do It``. Besides some titles in 
English, RRI`s German YL announcer is easier to understand since she enunciates 
clearly, probably not a native-speaker from her accent. 1351 already signing 
off with full German schedule including WRN, satellite, 1353 ``Auf 
wiederhören``, but then another song as postlude. 

15460 again had the ringing artifacts, most noticeable during the music, and // 
17530 was not propagating today. Both of these also carry the English hour at 
12-13, and I caught a bit of English before 1300. We`re amid the Fortnight of 
Confusion when RRI is running on standard time and we are on daylight shifting, 
pushing the English temporarily into a more waking hour here, 7-8 am CDT, 
before March 25 when it goes back to 11-12 UT = 6-7 am CDT, on 15210 and 17510, 
both same 307 degrees from Tiganeshti intended only for Europe, but the German 
then at 12-13 will no longer be on same parameters as preceding hour in 
English, instead 9675 from Saftica and 11875 from Tiganeshti, per a tentative 
sked in BC-DX. I understand that 15 & 17 MHz are too high in the winter for a 
reliable daytime service to nearby Germany tho OK for us; will 9 and 11 MHz 
prove to be too low in the summer? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN [and non]. 21610, March 15 at 1841, REE is in Arabic on this frequency 
only at 17-19; poor; while all the others we can hear are in Portuguese, not 
Spanish: 17715 stronger than 17755; 15125 via CR, but it`s intermittent, had 
not been on a few minutes before 1841 as I was checking Nigeria on 15120; 15125 
goes off again at 1850, on at 1851, off again at 1858, on again at 1900. 
Meanwhile, 15110, much stronger direct from Noblejas at *1852 with open carrier 
on and off and on, 1855 IS and sign-on Castilian. Splash from this bothers 
Nigeria 15120, unlike weaker 15125 signal.

Another day to check whether COSTA RICA 11815 is on-frequency or not, March 16 
at 1245: NOT, but hetting Japan and this time very slightly above 11815.5; at 
1338 keyboard almost matches a B-note het, i.e. 494 Hz, but it must axually be 
500+ Hz as per stepping with BFO between 11815 and 11816 on the YB-400 (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Indonesia, 4870.024, RRI Wamena, Tentative,  0958-1015, Noted a very weak
signal 

here under QRM, Noted a person in comments for a few minutes.  At 1003 music
is

heard which sounded like an Asian style music. Actually the music sounded
like what I

have heard from other RRI stations.  At 1006 a female comments.  Language
sounded

like Indonesian then.  RRI Sorong is near this frequency too, so the Ident
of Wamena is 

very tenuous and doubtful.  The signal remained threshold.  (Chuck Bolland,
March 16, 2012)

 

 

Peru, 5039.191, Radio Libertad, 1015-1030,  Noted a quick canned ID at tune
in as 

"... Radio Libertad ... " then into live Spanish comments by a male who
mentioned

"Lima in his comments.  This continued during the period as the signal was
steady

at a fair level. At 1018 music is presented.  (Chuck Bolland, March 16,
2012)

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, still no trace of LRA36 on another Thursday, March 15 at 
1302, 1400+ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake March 15, before 1300:
11545, fair at 1258 vs WEWN 11550 sideband
12980, very poor at 1258, mixing with something, really Sound of Hope?
13970, JBA at 1259; none in the 14s, 15s before 1300

After 1300:
15565, poor with flutter at 1304, presumably vs V. of Tibet on split

Before 1330:
12670, good at 1320
12300, very poor at 1321

Before 1400:
12670, very poor at 1356, way down from 36 minutes earlier; no 13s
14700, poor with flutter at 1358; not heard here in a long time
15455, very poor at 1359-1400*; presumably vs V. of Tibet jumparound
15590, poor at 1359; unusual spot, nothing in Aoki
15605, fair at 1358 vs WEWN 15610; unusual spot, nothing in Aoki
15900, fair at 1358
Steve Handler in IL was also hearing 15455, 15605 this morning
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** COSTA RICA. 11815.0, March 15 at 1254, REE Cariari is on-frequency today! No 
het against NHK co-channel in Japanese (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN. 9695, March 15 at 1251, good signal with Thai talk; must be NHK as 
scheduled since then had a clip in Japanese (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

** MAURITANIA. 7245, March 15 at 0620, IGIM is still not on (Glenn Hauser, OK, 
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA [and non]. 15120, March 14 at 1858 I tune in to see what happens 
with V. of Nigeria today. There is a lo het! Between their two transmitter 
sites, Ikorodu on 15120 and new Abuja on 15119.86 or so (I was on the porch so 
didn`t have my keyboard handy to find the closest note.) Some talk modulation 
is also audible. At 1859:38 one of them goes off for a second, and so does the 
het, then resuming. At 1900 I can hear some music, and the 15120 signal finally 
goes off for good at 1900:53* or so. YL can then be heard introducing world 
news on 15120-. Probably the best yet heard at this hour, but still poor and 
not really readable.

I compare it to neighboring REE on both sides. Fortunately, Noblejas on 15110.0 
is not producing spurs up to 45 kHz away today, just splashing out to 15117. 
Cariari is noticeably off frequency to the hi side of 1512
