[HCDX] DX on Thurs
Peru, 4809.983, Radio Logos, pres, 0945-1010, With a very weak signal, noted a steady period of music being broadcast here. Unfortunately, on the northside of the signal sets a signal that sounds like a FAX chopping away at Radio Logos' weak signal. Notching the interference out does not help much. At 0959 a male breaks into the music with announcements of ID and other information which was too weak and muffled for copy. After a minute of that, music returns. Logos remained at a threshold level.

** BANGLADESH [and non]. 15520, Aug 8 at 1558, very weak signal with bits of
modulation, presumably Bangladesh Betar, Dhaka, testing its brand-new
transmitter toward Europe at 12-20 UT today, as tipped by Swopan Chakroborty?
Instead of 7250 tested yesterday. 15520 is an old frequency of theirs, inactive
for many years.
In the meantime, other stations have been using 15520, currently registered in
this time period, first the other ``DHA`` = Dhabbaya, UAE site with YFR at
14-16, the second hour in English; Turkey in English at 1630-1730, Egypt in
Fulfulde at 1845-20, so before 1400, 1600-1630, and 1730-1845 should be the
best windows.
Recheck at 1608, however, what little signal I had is gone, so suspect it was
really YFR/UAE; is BB really still on? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Aug 8, after 1230:
16100, very poor at 1234; none in the 17s
12230, good at 1240 going from open carrier (maybe just a pause) to FD; none in
the 13s, 14s, 15s
After 1300:
14700, very good at 1317
15560, fair at 1317, het on hi side
16100, fair at 1321; none in the 13s, 12s
17450, JBA at 1324
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11680,
[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs August 9, 2012
** AUSTRALIA. 9580, Thursday Aug 9 at 1345, RA is replaying the `Rear Vision` documentary heard earlier about the persecuted Hazara, now at the scheduled RV time. Seems they are subject to being killed in Afghanistan and Pakistan merely for looking ``oriental`` as they are easily separated visually from S Asian ethnicities. They are also despised for being more progressive than the Pashtuns, so some of them try to escape to Europe or Australia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA [and non]. Firedrake August 9, after 1300: 15485, very poor at 1315, also noise jamming 15570, fair at 1314, het on hi side Before 1400: 15490, poor at 1353, also noise jamming, het on lo side; up from 15485 15600, poor at 1354 15900, good at 1354 16100, very good at 1355; none in the 17s, 14s, 13s, 12s 11615, August 9 at 1358, VOA in Yankee-Doodle-Dandy sign-on, fair signal and clear, but at 1400 sharp, hit by ChiCom Chinese language jamming, presumably CNR1 program. VOA is attempting to broadcast in Chinese this hour only, 250 kW, 332 degrees from Tinang, PHILIPPINES. And yet we allow the ChiCom to broadcast CRI over our domestic radio stations! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 9810, Aug 9 at 0236, RHC Spanish is just barely modulated, but an improvement over no modulation at all last night; also unusually poor signal strength. 11760, Aug 9 at 1303, RHC modulation is breaking up somewhat; 11750 not until *1303 with OC, then JIP programodulation. At 1305, 11760 dumps off the air. 11860, Aug 9 at 1308, undermodulated but not breaking up or distorted; however, bothered by bleed from the DentroCuban Jamming Command centered on 11845 against R. Martí, but with noise field extending also down to 11830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** EGYPT. 9280-9325, Aug 9 at 0232, big buzz out to here from extremely distorted monstrous R. Cairo Arabic frequency 9305, diminished only around 9315 by the big very undermodulated R. Cairo English frequency with singing. 9265 WINB and 9330 WBCQ escape it. By 0448, samebuzz from 9305 but weaker so the sidefields are inaudible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GUIANA FRENCH. 11995, Aug 9 at 0229, fair signal in Spanish with Chinese accent, i.e. RTI; also a lo hum on the transmitter, from Montsinéry, 02-03, 500 kW, 195 degrees to Chile Argentina (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** JAPAN. 15195, Aug 9 at 0453, Japanese poor signal, i.e. NHK, 300 kW, 290 degrees from Yamata at 01-07 per HFCC, yet seldom audible here. Also amid intruding OTH radar buzz QRM extending from 15190 to 15215, Cyprus? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MADAGASCAR. 13765, Aug 9 at *0454:30, Talata turning on later than usual and thus avoiding the feed mixups we have heard lately, just open carrier until starting Vatican IS at 0457 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. 1140, Aug 9 at 0500 I suspend SW monitoring to try to catch a definite ID from XEMR. Initially good dominant signal belying the ``nothing to the north`` pattern, music which stops at 0500 with no ID, right into Mexican NA, choral multiverse lasting until 0505; finally, when it has faded a bit, very quick and hard to copy ID by YL, with self-imposed QRMusic, but includes XEMR, 1140-AM, 50 kilovatios, street address (apparently a mandatory part of legal IDs in Mexico), and right back to music. Did not hear ``Radio Esperanza`` mentioned (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MEXICO. Analog TVDX: nothing more came of the Aug 8 Es opening past 1638. Aug 9 at 1443 UT, fades in Spanish talk show on ch 2; it`s the Azteca-13 bug in UR, with Venga Alegría program bug in LR, and CDT clock. Has CCI beat bars of about 4 kHz accompanied by same pitch whine out of the speaker. Barely lasts past 1500 before fading out; peaks SSW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NIGERIA. 15120, Aug 9 at *0455, VON has just come on with drumming, very undermodulated, 0456 NA, S9+5 peaks, then announcing transmission schedule of English, I think. Weakening as minutes tick away (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. [Re previous item on KOSU] Subject: Thanks for your comments! Dear Mr. Hauser, First of all, thank you for listening to The Living Room with Gerry Bonds and for your longtime loyalty. I am glad that our new website makes it more convenient for you to catch the program. The goal of the Energy program was primarily to acquaint our listeners with the energy renaissance taking place in Oklahoma and in North America, largely due to fracking, as well as exploring the prospects for American independence from foreign oil, including the role that wind power might play here in Oklahoma. It was not meant to debate the environmental pros and cons. However, your suggestion for a future program of that nature is a good one, and my producer and I will definitely explore it. Let me also assure you that the program's only connection to OPUBCO
