[HCDX] DX Tip: KGAB 650 Dead Air

2020-03-15 Thread Paul B. Walker, Jr.
With KGAB 650 running dead air due to power outages in Cheyenne, KMTI Manti
UT and CKOM 650 Saskatoon are audible fairly decently under the KGAB Dead
carrier at my QTH in Laramie, WY at sunset.   Worth checking out, folks!

[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs March 14-15, 2020

2020-03-15 Thread Glenn Hauser via Hard-Core-DX
** CANADA. 258-MCW kHz, March 15 at 0552, dash and ZSJ, which is a

1000-watt ND Beacon from Sandy Lake, Ontario, the only one on 258 per
dxinfocentre.com -- first time heard since Dec 28. 

340-MCW kHz, March 15 at 0558, dash and YY, 500-watt NDB at Mont-Joli,
QC. See also UNIDENTIFIED 278 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13780, March 14 at 1343, RHC again here ex-13740 and // much
stronger 13700. By 1417, 13780 is still on with noisy dead air.

13756.580, March 14 at 1419, RHC spur VP. Not like the loud FM/AM
spurblobs sporadically out of 13700, rather clearly audible in AM mode
and precisely measurable with BFO; also is 56.58 kHz displaced, rather
than 66-70 kHz. I look for a match on the minus side and find a JBA
carrier on 13644.53, but calculated spot would be 13643.42 so maybe
that`s just a birdie. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15370, March 14 at 2015, RHC S9+20 in distorted Brazuguese,
while 15140 is in French. Both these had been scheduled at 2100-2130,
so bumped one real hour earlier. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 17480, March 14 at 2247, 5-digit spy numbers alternating with
digibeepery, S1-S4 and nothing higher on the 17 or 18 MHz bands (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, March 15 at 0543, RHC English JBM with crackle; 6060 VG
S9+10/20; 6100 S9+10 undermodulated; 6145 VP S7-S9; 5040 S9+10/20 and
distorted. Something`s always wrong at RHC(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUAM. 12035, March 15 at 1456 VP music; thought it might be another
Turkey overrun past 1430, but KSDA is scheduled 1430-1500 in
Myanmarianese; VOT sandwiched between this and Kununurra in Hindi
before 1330. Much weaker than really TRT 11815v still on in Turkish
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUATEMALA. This isn`t a log but wrapping up(?) discussion of postal
service here, following my log of 4055, Radio Truth announcing a
postal address, P O Box 5, Chiquimula. From Chuck Gessner, W3ON to the
WOR iogroup:

``Hi All, I sent an email to Dr. Madrid, the General Manager and
Director of Radio Verdad Guatemala yesterday, regarding postal mail to
and from Guatemala.

His comments were very interesting. Here is some of what he wrote.

`Here's how Postal Mail is in Guatemala: Private mail ceased
permanently, as they never got an agreement with the government.
The government is now operating to some extent the old official Post
Offices. The problem is that it is not operating fully. They are
operating on a partial way. We are not allowed to send any mail out,
but we may receive mail from other countries (very scarcely). I have
received several mail from the US and from Mexico, but not many. Mail
from other countries take much time to arrive, although they may
eventually get to us.

I have been checking for your registered mail you sent in January, but
is has not arrived yet. I was informed that we may send postal mail
within Guatemala already, but not to other countries. They have
announced several times that postal mail will start functioning
normally, but it hasn't happened yet.

Dr. Édgar Amílcar Madrid
General Manager and Director
Radio Truth
Chiquimula, Guatemala, C. A.`


Glen[n], et al., In my perspective the best way to reach Radio Verdad
is via the 'radioverd...@yahoo.com' email service. I do know that when
I asked for a QSL card for some monitoring a few months ago, he
responded via email, with email attachments. I had tried to send Radio
Verdad a donation via PayPal. But it was suspended at the time. I
don't know if that situation has been sorted out. I have also sent a
donation via U.S. Registered Mail in late January. As of this date in
mid March, Radio Verdad has not received it. 

So, to say that regular postal mail is somewhat elusive, is not to
exaggerate. In my correspondence a while ago, I was going to try to
send a donation via some of those overseas banking systems, as  it
appears that Radio Verdad can get monies that way. But my local bank
balked when I requested that. I suppose that one could send Radio
Verdad an email, and ask for guidance. To me, its such a shame that
the Guatemalan government doesn't have this straightened out as this
is a long time problem. I have read where one can use services such as
FedEx to send stuff to Guatemala. I have not tried that.

Anyway, that's what I know. I sure hope that gets straightened out.
Radio Verdad Guatemala does IMHO, very good work in its coverage area.
All you have to do is look at the Radio Verdad Guatemala YouTube
channel to see some of its activities. I believe there may be a link
to it on the Radio Verdad web page. 73 de Chuck W3ON`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** INDONESIA. 7165-LSB, March 14 at 1409, YD3BIH ham in contact and
foneticizing his call, so I can look it up for sure at QRZ.com:
``YD2BIH flag Indonesia AGUNG DWI SETYAWAN, KENDAL 51355, Indonesia``
Kendal is in Central Java. I was looking for special VI3RA in this
area of the 40m band, no luck (Glenn Haus

[HCDX] SW meetings of 2020

2020-03-15 Thread Vähäkainu , Risto S
Dear friends,

at the end of January 2020 I sent out a list of coming SW and DX meetings of 
this year. At that time the corona virus was already active in China, but no 
one had a real clue of how big an effect it would have in the everyday life in 
the whole world.

Now in mid-March we know of that and everybody is aware that travelling as well 
as having sports events, art events or meetings is quite restricted. Many of 
the meetings mentioned on the list have already been cancelled or postponed. 
Today we don't have an idea how long this exceptional time will last  and when 
we'll be able to return to normal (or even nearly normal) duties and actions.

I enclose a copy of the list. There are a couple of amendments and updates 
(that came up before the Corona virus crisis escalated). But I'm sure everybody 
will check the current details of the planned meetings on the websites to have 
up-to-date information.

Hoping for better conference year 2021!
