[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs March 4-5, 2024
** CUBA. 15230, March 4 at 2313, Chinese music! S9/+10 with good modulation, found here after missing from 13650 at 2312, so on WRONG frequency, this CRI `Portuguese` relay which reliably for years has been nothing but - the same? - fill music day after day. Certainly not // 11760 RHC Spanish which at 2305 was crackly and squealy. Something`s always wrong at RHC. Recheck at 0121 March 5: 15230 is off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT [and non]. 9899.953, March 4 at 1846, extremely distorted talk and music with whine, S9+15/35 into UTwente, no doubt R. Cairo during Turkish at 17-19 UT. As first reported at 1745 by Dr Hansjoerg Biener, then by several others in the WOR iogroup. Had been totally off air for several days supposedly fixing things, but back now as awful as ever. Mod stops abruptly and carrier off a few sex later at 1900*. I quickly retune UTw to next sked frequency, 9410 for 19-20 German, but no show in a few minutes. I break for lunch. Recheck *1930 open carrier on 9410.000, something else? 1933* off again uncovering some strange noises nearby. Instead of 9410, this hour ending on 9889.954 at 1857, same strength and horrible distortion as 9900 had. 9890 at 2000 timesignal and off uncovering KSDA in Korean. 2002 now Cairo is back on 9900, distorted and splattering down to 9890, in presumed French. Also with tones as if audio mixing from some utility service. ``9900`` also sked for 2000-2115 French, 2345-0200 Arabic and Spanish; will 9440 English 2115-2245 also be back like this? No, nothing there at 2156, but 9900.004 is still on with open carrier S9+5/15 and beepery. I think emissions after 2245 have been gone for a longtime. Instead of something like Portuguese filling the 2245-2345 hour, that`s always been sked obviously via another transmitter, at 2215-2330, on 9885. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 15409.981 AM, March 4 at 1652, via Missouri remote, Station YHWH is S5/S7, JBA undermodulated with the intonations of Josiah Elias occasionally recognizable; tnx to tip from Rick Barton, AZ, who had him at 1630. I had not noticed him in routine bandscan direct a few minutes earlier. 1710 QRM from Spanish 2-way on 15413-USB, see unID. Still trace of YHWH carrier by 1730 but no audio (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Monday March 4 at 2300, VG direct, token English from SNR, only Amy Egan in studio today, previewing feature about Arts Week 6-10 March. 2302 news starting with cold wave, snow expected, fires killing apartment people in Valencia, unemployment rate falling. 2309 ID and interview, a separate `Hybrid Arts Week` March 7-10 taking place informally in a hotel, has been going since *2016y (Glenn Hauser, OOK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Sun Mar 3 at 2300, NO signal from VOT into UTwente and no XJRTV either which doesn`t come on until circa 2311. Instead, VOT English is still stuck on 9610.008, which was supposed to stop by 2230 after the previous English hour. Something`s always erroneous at Emiler, . 9610+ is VG S9+25 into UTwente, and can`t hear CNR understation in Mongolian this time. Same hour I`m listening to the final FTIOM on WBCQ, so checking this from time to time or juggling them both. 2320 plug TRTWorld.com for world news in 41 languages. 2325, `Letterbox` is just starting with contact info. Presenter appears to be reading all the `letters` cold, so he stumbles around about pronunciations, and picking out some of their comments. A little more preparation would be professional but he certainly comes across as casual. Most are requesting QSLs, and many send or enclose postcards which he describes, from: Italy, Japan, China, Allen Dean in England, China, Australia. Nothing from USA or Hemisphere West; I don`t think I missed any. Time`s up by 2346 so a loving goodbye, music, ``with-you-every-hour`` promo, music, 2354 ``always-by-your-side`` promo. 2355 late s/off for the 13635 at 1330 only, and IS. 2356 German IDs interspersed. March 4 timesignal, s/on extraneous German and usual program with same music liners as in English, still going at 0038. Off by next check 0053, uncovering the much weaker but more accurate ChiCom on 9610.001. The wrong frequency for German is supposed to be 5960, not 9610! SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.002, March 4 at 2259 I can tell VOT is on, but no match for the noise level direct. From 2324, S9+40/45 into UTwente where measured: 2324.5 ending 2-minute multilingual ID filler reel, into `The Energy Agenda`, Turkey is #5 in geothermal. 2329 ``always-by-your-side`` promo. 2330 `That`s Why` with the badax, something about indispensable Internet, libraries unneeded. 2335 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo. 2342 multilingual ID filler reel, again! and songs. 2350 s/off, the one with all times wrong in local but called UTC. 2351 IS until chop at 2356* just before switch to German, uncovering XJRTV in Chinese, EAST TURKISTAN, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against
