[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs October 20

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

** AUSTRALIA. Was not expecting to hear English on 11825, but there it was as I
tuned across, Fri Oct 20 at 1334, ``English from Australia Program No. 50``, in
RA`s Standard Chinese service via Darwin (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake with good signal, but fluttery, Oct 20 at 1312 on 10450;
JBA on 14700 at 1335, and not audible on 13970 if there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** FRANCE [non]. One more day the unscheduled English service of RFI survives,
Oct 20, presumably via Japan on 6120, starting weakly but clearly at 1400 after
5-second-late 4-pip timesignal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUAM. Oct 20 at 1355 on 12105, English lesson on how to spell HEAVEN, which
is better than any vacation spot in eastern US or Canada; VIVID, and MINUTE.
This educational service brought to us by the KSDA `Mandarin` service (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. Missing Oct 19, but 9525.0 was back Oct 20 with Suara Indonesia,
at 1303 with Warta Berita by M, but now there is crosstalk from another program
in Indonesian, W speaking clearly audible underneath. It`s always something!
1319 on the top channel, canned English ID and reference to website. Usual wide
variety of music, 1358 NA and off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. IRIB in Arabic, 15150, Oct 20 at 1337 with Qur`an, coming in well
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ISRAEL. KI, 15760 in Hebrew, Oct 20 at 1340 with big hum, into country song
in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** LIBYA [and non]. CVC Chile, 17680 had co-channel from Arabic music, Oct 20
at 1344, so Sawt al-Amal and jammers must have been there at the moment (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NETHERLANDS [non]. Dutch on 5910, Oct 20 at 1328 from RNW, mentioning
website, 1330 Nieuws. This is Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy per EiBi, but not //
9900 which is Khabarovsk. At least not synchronized, as I did not take time to
figure out the delay between them, and poor reception in these relays for
FE/SEAs (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND. RNZI missing again from analog 7145, Oct 20 at 1331 and later,
but DRM buzzing away on 6095. Beginning to wonder if they have changed
frequency from 7145, but DRM obviously has priority now as the DRM transmitter
is also capable of analog (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA. RRI, 15105, Oct 20 at 1336 in English mentioning Romania`s friendly
people; doesn`t always make it but today good signal marred by flutter and
usual muffled modulation, making it a poor alternative to the other English
broadcasts from Europe audible at this hour, e.g. Sweden via Canada 15240
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** RUSSIA. Don`t usually hear this aside DGS WWCR 5935, but Oct 20 at 0532
dialog in Russian was making it on 5940: per HFCC that would be Yakutsk, 50 kW,
40 degrees, at 17-13 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. WWRB with Brother Scare, 9385, incredibly bad
modulation, distorted and splattering with spikes out to 50 kHz away, Oct 20 at
1324; to boot, crosstalk from The Power Hour as I heard that mentioned
underneath as BS paused for breath (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. No sign of KAIJ Oct 20 at 1258 on 9975, just KTWR (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
