[HCDX] R. Novo Tempo

[Arthur Delibert]

BRAZIL, 4894.93, Radio Novo Tempo noted from 22:55 to 23:17, putting in best 
signal signal I've heard from them yet.  Mix of pop music, talk and ads.  Quick 
mention of "Novo Tempo" at 23:07.  There's a het -- maybe two of them --  on 
the high side, very close to 4895.00; the beat freq is so low it's hard to 
really hear, but it makes Novo Tempo's signal sound distorted.  And, of course, 
CODAR. (Delibert, N. Bethesda, MD, 10/20/12)Art Delibert, N. Bethesda, MD

[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs October 19-20, 2012 corrected

[Glenn Hauser]

Please throw out my original post and correxions. ALL the dates were one day 
off. This is ``not my day``. Replace with THIS:

** ALGERIA [non]. 9535, Oct 20 at 0536, RTA via FRANCE, with ``pure`` Qur`an, 
while non-// 7295 sounded impure but still Qur`anish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 6110, Oct 20 at 0526, NHK English via Sackville is on and 
modulating; 9555, Oct 19 at 0526, VOV Vietnamese via Sackville is on correct 
frequency; just before both sign off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake Oct 20, after 1400, not a full search:
15500, stays on, fair past 1400
15560, fair at 1422, het from 15563, presumed V. of Tibet
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5025, Oct 20 at 0543, R. Rebelde is OFF! Instead there is a ute with 
RTTY and noise bursts mixed in, something we never hear QRMing Rebelde when it 
is on, so could the Cubans have turned it off deliberately to replace it with 
this traffic? Still off at 1209 check when it would otherwise still be 
propagating. That`s helpful for hearing Solomons 5019.9v, Peru 5025, but not 
yet by me (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EUROPE. 15880-USB, Oct 19 at 2109 UT looking for R. Spaceshuttle 
International pirate test as Dick Spacewalker had publicized in advance, but 
nothing audible; not surprising, since even full-power stations in southern 
Europe were very poor, such as Greece 15630: too high a frequency for this path 
starting in the night. I told him, maybe better luck tomorrow morning our time, 
when he was also going to test intermittently on this or lower channels. He 
replied that he would extend the Oct 20 broadcast perhaps until 20 UT.

And indeed it was better: a weak signal but definitely there if I go on the 
porch to diminish household noise levels, as 19m propagation is now above 
normal: Oct 20 at 1410 rock music, (1414 ionosonde sweeps by swiftly), 
distorted low voice announcement, maybe mentions Spaceshuttle. Since it`s USB, 
I can ``improve`` the pitch by offtuning slightly, but still too weak to copy 
much detail. Not even nudging the DX-398 signal meter from no bars at all, with 
usual random wire antenna inserted. Boing SFX. 1417 more distorted voice 
announcements, off at 1418*. Dick said his transmissions would be short and 
intermittent. 1428 recheck, he`s back on 15880-USB again. Still/again audible 
at 1445. 

For last April`s reception he sent a really neat eQSL, labeled Finland
http://www.w4uvh.net/QSL2012SpaceshuttleDXGlenn.jpg
and another design like that would be welcome (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

** GERMANY. 15670, Oct 20 at 1421, good signal in  Asian language, but heavy 
short/long path echo. HFCC says 500 kW, 95 degrees from Nauen with YFR in Hindi 
at 14-16. 

15570, Oct 20 at 1422, another S Asian language with same short/long path echo. 
This too is Nauen, 500 kW at 90 degrees with YFR Oriya at 14-15 (Glenn Hauser, 
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUIANA FRENCH. 11995, Oct 20 at 0538, still open carrier with hum (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. 9526-, Oct 20 at 1211, VOI remains on the air but unlistenable 
with just-barely-modulation if any. Still on at 1359 with het upon CRI Russian 
9525.0 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA SOUTH. 6760, Oct 20 at 1200, fair signal with K-pop, no jamming, but 
OTH radar from China(?) on the hi side is edging in on it; 1202.5 announcement 
in presumed Korean from clandestine to the north, MND Radio. The 1200-1240 
broadcast is on 6760 and 4925 per this schedule more than a month ago which 
also identifies the opening and closing music of each transmission: (Glenn

Re: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs October 18-19, 2012 correxions

[Glenn Hauser]

Some updates/correxions:

Vatican already moved to 17510:

** PAKISTAN. 17520, Oct 19 at 1406, S Asian music, very distorted with big hum, 
and carrier is unstable. Therefore I conclude that it is really R. Pakistan, 
HFCC scheduled 1330-1530 in Urdu, maybe English at the end? 250 kW, 282 degrees 
from Islamabad, one of two SW transmitters still (mal)funxioning and not really 
closed down as predicted. From 1410, Vatican via Madagascar, also in Urdu was 
scheduled on 17520, but finally moved August 27 to 17510. What coordination! 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

it`s, not its (while I am at it):

** PAKISTAN [non]. 15725, Oct 19 at 1419, very poor signal partly in English 
about Iran, but those are clips voiced-over into some other language. Aoki 
shows it`s VOA`s Radio Aap ki Dunyaa service in Urdu, 78 degrees from KUWAIT at 
14-15 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Time was omitted, now inserted:

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 15420-CUSB, it`s the Sabbath, Oct 19, so WBCQ is on 
early at 1402 with Brother Scare --- but he`s way under BBC Somali via CYPRUS. 
Furthermore, WBCQ is off-frequency, so not only is there CCI, but a het and 
makes the organ music sound off-key (not that they need much help to accomplish 
that). What coordination! What coordination? Apparently someone cannot believe 
that a signal southward from Cyprus could be much stronger than WBCQ on the 
beam to its own target area. O, never mind. Who wants to listen to BS, anyway? 
He could be heard a bit better on IRRS via Romania(?) 15215, not on alleged 
Armenian frequency 11800, with strong CNR1 on 11805, and didn`t even bother to 
try the other US stations or Germany (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

[HCDX] ABC Northern Territories Service

[Arthur Delibert]

AUSTRALIA, 2485 kHz, Northern Territories Service noted rising to a fair level 
between 11:00 and 11:20 this morning with sports match between the Australian 
Wallabies and the New Zealand All-Blacks.  (Wallabies were winning at last 
check.)  2325 kHz also noted carrying the same program, but not as strong.  I 
have not heard any signal on 2310 kHz this year. (Delibert, Maryland, 10/20/12)

Puzzles. Please comment my thoughts, see below, wb.


SUDAN   Radio Omdurman Sudan in Arabic Oct 18:
0200-0500  7200 ALF 100 kW 000/090 to EaAF, ex0200-0400 UT,
(Ivo Ivanov-BUL, via wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Oct 18)

Saut Afrikya min Idaa-tu Sudanya / La Voix du Soudan, Radio
National du Soudan in Arabic/French and announcement in Somali or
Swahili Oct 18:
0500-0800  9505 ALF 100 kW 270 deg to NoAF, ex0400-0700 UT.
(Ivo Ivanov-BUL, via dswci DXW via wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Oct 18)

SUDAN/SWAZILAND/IRAN   9505  Omdurman Al Fitahab, heard both at 1700 UT HOA
music under co-channel IRIB Iran in Armenian 1630-1727 UT, and in the clear
later the night, but low modulated signal, I used earphones to understand
the transmission.

9499.984  Next door channel TWR Manzini Swaziland in Amharic at 1721 UT Oct
18. Endless talk on S=9+20dB signal level.
(wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Oct 18)

SUDAN   9505  R Omdurman, Al-Aitahab, Khartoum* (100 kW 090 degrees),
0230-0730v, Oct 15, new frequency in Arabic to East Africa, ex7200
non-directive to Central Africa: very strong QRM 0330-0430 from
Adventist World R in Farsi 7200 kHz.
(Ivo Ivanov-BUL, via dswci DXW via wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Oct 18)

* but to clarify these of Omdurman and Khartoum locations.
Is still a puzzle? Al-Aitahab is registered with ITU for decades.

To clear the SW services location at  A l - A i t a h a b , according Google
or Bing maps:
sw services of Radio Omdurman and Saut Afrikya min Idaa-tu Sudanya / La Voix
du Soudan, Radio National du Soudan location at the westerly banks of the
Nile river, near the Abu Se'id bridge.

Visible few shortwave antennas: 3 non-dir vertical cone rhombic antenna.
3 revolving horizontal log-periodic antennas.
15 35 10.22 N  32 26 42.42 E



However the MW and former shortwave sce site is located 23 kilometers
easterly on the Khartoum  S o b a  site. 2 MW masts of 747 and 963 kHz
installations visible til 2006/2008. Two fountain like former
non-directional 4995/5039 kHz 60 meterband antennas. And 11 SW dipols and
some log-periodics for - probably - press agency services and other UTE
antenna installations for Department of State or Ministry of Defence, also
...
15 28 18.44 N  32 37 35.73 E

see GE image of 20 Oct 2004.
former MW mast location in 2004y to Febr 2008y
15 28 22.16 N  32 37 49.95 E
former MW mast location in 2004y to Jan 2006y
15 28 20.48 N  32 37 32.15 E

Puzzle ?,
or the use of short-wave on reversed location, so did come from formerly
from Soba site til Febr 2008? And registration at call 'ALF' was left
unchanged at the ITU before?

In 2005y "...4995, 6150, 7200, 9505, 11835 and 15170 kHz", as read on dswci
DXW item, so the 11 curtains at Soba used til 2008?

And now in use these revolving log-periodic antennas at Omdurman Al-Aitahab?
(wb, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Oct 18)

9505.01  R Omdurman, Al-Aitahab, Khartoum (100 kW 270 degrees), at
*1624-1906*v UT, Oct 10, 11, 12, 14 and 15, new frequency in Arabic to North
Africa, ex7200 kHz non-directive to Central Africa (no longer heard),
Sudanese songs, but rather weak undermodulated audio signal. Much fluttery,
32332. QRM from VOIRI from *1627. When R Omdurman still had its external
service in year 2005, it used these frequencies: 4995, 6150, 7200, 9505,
11835 and 15170 kHz.
