Re: [HCDX] Aurora...or NOT !
France Inter still hanging on RIGHT NOW... I think all this active condx are a joke... May the good DX not let you run away from the sleep ! Bogdan - Original Message - From: aurel chiochiu To: latinm...@yahoogroups.com ; m...@yahoogroups.com Cc: hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.com Sent: Friday, January 02, 2009 2:26 AM Subject: Aurora...or NOT ! Solar activity was very low. No flares were observed. The visible disk was spotless. Solar activity is expected to be very low. Geomagnetic field activity ranged from quiet to active levels. ACE solar wind measurements indicated a recurrent coronal hole high-speed stream began early in the summary period. Velocities gradually increased from 305 to 559 km/sec during the period. IMF changes associated with the transition to the high-speed stream included increased Bt (peak 17 nT at 31/Z) and intermittent periods of southward Bz (minimum -16 nT at 31/0131Z). Well all of this is doing little to me; LW are stronger than ever, I got my 2nd best reception of Europe 1 ever and France-162 is quite good too... However, something is happening as 1) Iceland-189 is inexistent tonight (it's a high-latitude path), this being stronger than Europe 1 during the early mornings AND there is (there was a few minutes ago, but they faded) SOME LITTLE enhancement on Latins, Coro-780 got good and listenable, the 1 kW Rebelde outlet on 610 kHz was briefly good instead of the more elusive YVXY, YVSE or the Voz de la Cultura public broadcaster out of Colombia... But, WABC on 770 is also very strong splattering onto Coro with WBBM completly nulled out. I even have taped a nice play with the radio, as I turned it on and off, switching between Coro and Chicago. But, nothing to really get excited about. I begun to get tired of Coro-780 and Barranquilla-760, I would like to log some REGIONAL YVs in the upper 1300s and 1400s, for this Europe would be a better QTHs, because the high angle of short-skip from east coast domestics aren't overwhelming and, correct me if I'm wrong, there are fewer stations in Europe than in the USA and fewer DRM operations than IBOC ones... It is still strange Uruguay and Carúpano, estado Sucre, YV-land are regular on 1470 along with CPN Radio, Lima, Peru, while there are decades since Peru was last logged within the USA, but there are obvious reasons for this, of course... What I can do right now is only wait, auroral condx may be slow to start, but the CME will still going on tomorrow as well... It stay January 1st AND 2nd, so let's try to sleep and wait until tonight (we ARE Januery 2nd) or let's enjoy the not-so-auroral condx and try to scan the LW band which works better when average or above-average high-latitude paths are in progress. A full repport may come tomorrow or if not tomorrow during the week-end. Tomorrow, I hope to show some LW and MW DX to a friend from school... May the good DX be with you !

[HCDX] Loggings and other things
This morning between 1500-1600 GMT I was listening to what I assume is Radio Russia (Moscow transmitter) in Russianon 7270 KHz. I did not hear the standard ID but can only assume it was their transmissions. Signal levels were 55545 here into Central New Mexico. When their transmission left the air (or they changed antenna loading for another direction) I heard VOA in English coming in (34543). The last listing I had showed that as originating from Germany, but not at that time. There were a couple of other stations in the background, but not logable for content here. I don't get on the SW bands as much as I should, maybe 2009 will change this? Anyway, Best of DX to all on the list and hope your 2009 brings you the rare SW station you have been dearching for.

[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs January 1-2, 2009
** ALBANIA. R. Tirana, 7435 had somewhat improved modulation January 1 compared to December 31 when it was extremely distorted. Jan 1 at 2217 check, still low-fidelity during rock music, with only the lower audio frequencies passing, but not very distorted (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CANADA. Once again, the CBCNQ Service transmitter on 9625 is way out of whack: Jan 1 at , found R. Exterior de España, 9640, which is normally a loud and clear signal, suffering ratchy interference from off-frequency extremely distorted FMing spur which also ranged from 9635 to 9650. Absolutely nothing, not even a carrier, could be detected on 9625. At 2229 I was able to tell that the spur was speaking English, heard year 2008 mentioned. At 2239 with BFO on I could detect a weak carrier among the mess on 9637, now spreading 9633 to 9650, stepping kHz-by-kHz on the YB-400. Next check at 2315, REE 9640 had closed down, and now the spur was interfering with two weaker stations on 9635 and 9645, presumably Chile and Brasil. This transmitter has gone in and out of whack several times in the last weeks. When this happens, the signal is completely useless, cannot possibly be understood in the target area, and serves only to put severe interference on other stations. Later: RCI Sackville tell me they are diligently working on the 9625 transmitter problem, but it has to be on the air in order to troubleshoot. Meanwhile it was back in whack at 1453 Jan 2, if not exactly back on frequency 9625, producing a rumbling lo het with BBC and/or Channel Africa (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. 8400 still bearing Firedrake, at 1451 check Jan 2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. The big day has arrived: the fiftieth anniversary of the triumph of the revolution. I figured there would be something special on RHC, and there was, tuned in Jan 1 at 2320 on 9820, the Mesa Redonda special frequency, a live rally from Santiago including speeches, songs, ID as Cadena Nacional de Radio; the `acto central` apparently the première of a new film about the revolution. This was no doubt on many different domestic networks too. Found // on Rebelde, 5025 with best signal, also weaker RHC on 11760-echo, 6000, 11690, 13760, 6180; and at 2342 also on 9600 while 9550 was in English as usual. I then brought up the Cubavisión webcast, but it was so jerky I kept the separate Rebelde webcast going for the audio. 5-star general Raúl Castro Ruz began his big speech just before , continued past 0030, and he became a stationary object on the ever-buffering video. Wrapped up at 0038 and back to regular programming. RHC again running way past nominal sign off of 0700 for English, still going at 0724 Jan 2 on 6000, but not 6060 or 6140, `Ed Newman` with year-end summary of USA woes. Why not let the transmitter op snooze? It`s before midnight in the PST, AST and HST zones (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA [non]. Again ran across that Cuban exile ham who pontificates in Spanish with anti-communist polemix, on 7210.0 SSB, Jan 2 at 1434. This time I caught his call, N1NR, and he was in contact with W4NNN, I think, but never a trace of the latter, who was either imaginary or duplex on a different unfound frequency as I later tuned around 40m. Initial subject was whether glasses were half-full or half-empty. This really sounds like a one-way broadcast, just like you might hear on Radio República or Radio Martí. ARRL lookup shows N1NR is: ROIG, NELSON, N1NR (Extra), 41 PHEASANT RUN, BUSHKILL, PA 18324, Previous call sign: WQ3N. And W4NNN is: CARTER, ROBERT V, W4NNN (Extra), 2595 ABBEY RIDGE RD SW, CONYERS, GA 30094 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** KURDISTAN [non]. V. of Mesopotamia has extended another hour on 11530 in 2009y, as predicted in Aoki, instead of closing at 1400, still going at 1456 check with ME singing, but audio breaking up. That quintuples its audible time after WYFR closes at 1345. This station is suspected of being pro-Commie, as Al Muick heard them playing the Internationale at another time. Presumably the other frequency via Ukraine, 7540, now opens at 1500 instead of 1400.

Re: [HCDX] Loggings and other things: 7270
Bob, It`s not clear at what time you heard the change from VOR to VOA, but VOR is scheduled to change from Petropavlovsk/Kamchatkiy to Moscow site at 1500, and VOA starts at 1500 via Thailand. 73, Glenn Hauser, OK --- On Fri, 1/2/09, Bob Combs train...@abq.com wrote: This morning between 1500-1600 GMT I was listening to what I assume is Radio Russia (Moscow transmitter) in Russian on 7270 KHz. I did not hear the standard ID but can only assume it was their transmissions. Signal levels were 55545 here into Central New Mexico. When their transmission left the air (or they changed antenna loading for another direction) I heard VOA in English coming in (34543). The last listing I had showed that as originating from Germany, but not at that time. There were a couple of other stations in the background, but not logable for content here. I don't get on the SW bands as much as I should, maybe 2009 will change this? Anyway, Best of DX to all on the list and hope your 2009 brings you the rare SW station you have been dearching for.

[HCDX] Loggings and other things.. Corrected
January 2, 2009 It appears that what I was indeed logging this morning from 1500 GMT to 1615 GMT was NOT what I previously reported. I was hearing Radio Liberty on 7270, as the ID Govorit Radio Svoboda was heard at the end of the 1500-1600 transmission block. At 1601 GMT I did hear a very reduced level English ID of Voice of America (usual male announcer). It appears that the transmitter phasing was shifted to a new target area at 1600 GMT, hense the loss of signal levels. Sorry for my mis-information in the earlier post. I am not correct (I think).

I encountered high winds and rain, and occasional, nearly- sideways hail that pounded the yurt wall so hard I had to crank up the volume to the headphones considerably. I also had the din of the nearby roaring Pacific Ocean to contend with. At least last week's snow had melted, and I had brief periods of calm and almost no rain while erecting and dismantling the antennas--thankfully! It was also the first time I've been c-c-cold in the Grayland yurts; the wind and chilly temps found their way easily around the door edges, and the yurt's built-in heater couldn't keep up. I'm still going through the many Perseus SDR files for medium wave DX, and I'll have them posted and on my blog in 2-3 days. Here's the shortwave loggings, though...not bad for a few hours of SW DX on the side. It's been a while since I've encountered this many interesting signals on 60 meters.

Re: [HCDX] Grayland DXpedition Logs - Dec. 29-30
Hi Glenn, Great catch on my VoV logging for 6165, which doesn't make sense. I know the time was correct because it's the only shortwave stations I tuned during my local evening on the 29th UTC. Unfortunately I didn't have the receiver recording the band at that time, so I can't replay it and check 6165 vs. 6175. However, I feel it's highly likely I was listening to Sackville on 6175, but glanced at 6165 in my references and thought I was hearing Vietnam direct. I should have noted the inconsistency in the language and listed broadcast time though. Thanks for pointing this out! It's obviously in error.

** CANADA. Believe it or not, RCI is on the air in English on 9755, but only fair signal here at 0053 Jan 3, interviewing a magazine publisher. I can see how this would be skipping over points closer to Sackville (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. DentroCuban Jamming Command with heavy attack on 9785, Jan 3 at 0054, versus nothing, since R. República quit this Sackville relay frequency a few weeks ago. At same time big open carrier on 9820, presumably remnant of RHC Mesa Redonda service or more special revolutionary programming. I see that CSPAN ran Raúl`s speech from last night, translated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GERMANY [non]. If it`s DW, it can`t be from Germany: Jan 3 at 0055 found German talk on 9775 stronger than // 9655 except 9655 was running about three words, or two compound words, ahead of 9775. 9655 is Rwanda, 9775 is Ascension (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** RUSSIA [non]. Voz da Rússia, 11605, Brazilian service with NY greetings to and from listeners, UT Sat Jan 3 at 0040. The YL announcer`s accent sounded sort of mid-Atlantic, but more Brazilian than Lusitanian; classical and big band music was constantly playing in background, periodically brought up to full during pauses; concluded with ruvr.ru website, but at 0047 plugged discredited `thief` URL, http://www.vor.ru in order to reach live webstream of this during 00-01 UT hour. 0048 new program, Mundo da Ciência e da Tecnologia, and the OM doing this was definitely Luso. G signal, best I`ve heard VOR in Portuguese in a long time, but some fading. That`s because it is the GUIANA FRENCH relay even tho I am getting it off the back/side of the 181-degree azimuth. Off already at 0057 recheck. VOR still has another hour in Portuguese to Europe at 2200, so they probably mix the accents in duplicated programming. I assume the Brazilians and Portuguese are more tolerant of that than the Arabs (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. Despite published Area 51 schedule for this date, first monitoring webcast, then 5110v, UT Sat Jan 3 from , no WORLD OF RADIO but instead the WBCQ show with a phone number for a title. 0051 faux record offer; I did not realize until 0057 during comedy skit instead of International Radio Report, that this was running // 7415. Maybe that`s the default if separate Area 51 programming isn`t arriving for some reason (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. I haven`t looked for it much lately, but some question whether WRNO has been active. It was there on 7505, UT Jan 3 at 0156 open carrier, only fair with fades, 0200 some modulation starting but I was distracted. Later in the hour, 0236 with music, some talk later, but hard to copy with weak signal in the noise level. How is it doing at a longer skip distance, and closer to the 20-degree azimuth, such as Michigan? Supposed to be on air only at 0200-0500. That explains why Walt Salmaniw in the QCI was not hearing them at 0135 Jan 2; the *0100 UT start was DST timing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ### ---[Start Commercial]- Order your WRTH 2008: http://www.hard-core-dx.com/redirect2.php?id=wrth2008 ---[End Commercial]--- 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.
