[HCDX] A new DXpedition report from Finland
I have now published a full report from DXpedition AIH163 held in late November and early December in Arctic Lapland. As some of you already know, the highlight of the DXpedition was the coverage that the hobby has received on the BBC over Christmas. This was a result of journalist Erika Benke's interest in DXing. She visited Aihkiniemi during AIH163. Check out for instance this video report by her: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0drc52k However, it wasn't all - although we are approaching the solar maximum, there were nevertheless some nice openings especially to the US and the Philippines, so also DX-wise this was a fabulous experience: http://www.dxing.info/dxpeditions/aih163report.htm 73 Mika _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ ___ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.

[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs December 25-26, 2022
** CHINA [and non]. 9455, Mon Dec 26 at 1651, S9/+10 Chinese dominant, vs another Chinese, i.e. CNR1 jamming vs RFA SAIPAN; heavy fast SAH and at least one more signal buried with music, WRMI TOMBS, sounds the same as 9395 and WWCR 9980. I`ve always been amazed that FCC is fine with WRMI vs jammed USAGM on 9455, per Aoki sked: MWF 16-17 & daily 19-21 Saipan, 21-22 Kuwait. However, Dec 26 at 1921 check, WRMI is alone on 9455; and 9395 is OFF (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6000, Dec 26 at 0704, only Cuban channel still on but S8/9+10 of dead air. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140 & 11760, Dec 26 at 1646, the only two RHC frequencies supposed to run past 1600 are absent. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, Dec 26 at 0657, VON is S9+10/20 but JBM - maybe hearing some drumming IS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 6950, Dec 26 at 1655, AM signal cutting on and off with sports talk - must be fifth harmonic of local 1390 KCRC. Yes, it is //. Was tuning pirate band just in case on a holiday. Have not had any problem with KCRC harmonix in years beyond 2780 = X2 always a weak distorted. Same sound now on 4170 = X3, nothing on 5560 = X4. Something`s loose at KCRC, and it`s not especially windy now. Another check at 1943: 6950 & 4170 still like before; nothing on 5560 or 8340, the X4 and X6, but a weak blob on 9730 = X7. Harmonic panoplies tend to favor all-odd or all-even ones (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960, Dec 25 at 2300, VOT in English, VG signal into Maryland SDR but undermodulated; likewise at 2348 check direct. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2170 monitoring: Also confirmed Sunday December 25 at 2100 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1323 kHz only, S9+10/20 into nearby Noale SDR; again with ripple SAH from another carrier, Romania? but no modulated QRM; that`s gone before the end at 2129. Following until 2100 some anonymous music show from Wales produced for IRRS. Also confirmed UT Monday December 26 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S8 but noisy. However does not start with self-imposed overriding noise burst. Hope that has been repaired for good. Also confirmed UT Monday December 26 from 0402.7 on WBCQ Area 51, 6160 minus 62 Hz = 6159.938 into Missouri SDR, S9+5/15, after JL running late and ``11-L Radio signing off``. Next: 0130 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0030 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Like our website, a noncommercial service for which financial support is appreciated. Thanks this week to Gerald T. Pollard, Raleigh NC, who sends a generous quarterly seasonal check for Winter Solstice to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7490v, Sun Dec 25 at 2310, WBCQ in `UBMP` featuring some naughty Xmas tunes. I try to listen to WBCQ webcast: it`s running but just barely modulated! Not enough to hear with all my volumes at max. Likewise for `Le Show` at Dec 26. So forces me to listen on SW, direct or via remotes, like S9+10/15 into Maryland. Rechecked later, stream still JBM past 0500, like that for 6+ hours?! Direct reception was sufficient for `Marion`s Attic` until 2300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 6160-, Dec 26 at 0703, WBCQ S9 with rock music, certainly not usual TOMBS after-hours of Area 51 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9330-, Dec 26 at 0707, WBCQ-6 SuperStition off the air, and no Cuban spy either on Monday. Still no WLCR at 1717. What`s the problem now? Surely not still too windy. Closest NWS info to Monticello is Houlton AP where it`s west at 14 gusting to 24 mph (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 4980, Dec 26 at 0433, WRMI S9+25/30 with news about Ukraine by computer voice which mispronounces some words; 0435 outro as from Alexander on WRMI Legends. Items seem current rather than legendary (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) WRMI vs USAGM and jamming: see CHINA [and non] ** VANUATU. 7260, Dec 26 at 0658, JBA carrier from R Vanuatu; while Ron Howard says ``non-stop listening 0640-0840 UT, Dec 26. Outstanding reception the whole time; nicely readable; probably my best ever reception. My audio posted at bit.ly/3YQ7SqE --- Ron California`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 1017 kHz, Dec 26 at 0712 UT, JBA carrier I would like to think be TONGA already post-sunset, but no lower 9/kHz splits, not even 846 Kiritimati which could be off. At 0715, unusually detect a few more at topend, 1503, 1539, 1584, unlikely Pacificans. Only TA country all four have in common is Spain, 5 or 10 kW synchros of RNE5 or SER. But then there is Spain on most frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED.
