[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs November 2
** CANADA [and non]. Forget about hearing CKZU 6160 Vancouver now in the
mornings between 11 and 15, for VOA Standard Chinese via Tinang is there, and
at 1438 check Nov 2, I was getting a strong signal in Chinese, which no doubt
was CNR1 jamming VOA. The 6160 audio was // 6040, which is another VOA Chinese
frequency. At least traces of CKZU were able to produce a SAH on 6160 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CZECH REPUBLIC [non]. R. Prague relay via Sackville, 15160, Thu Nov 2 at
1500 stayed in English rather than switching to CRI Chinese as the day before;
around 1512 the program Spotlight, which is on Prague`s Wednesday schedule at
http://www.radio.cz/en/programme so this transmission is still running a day
late. Very good reception and much more reliable than the numerous direct
English broadcasts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE [and non]. Since the unscheduled English broadcast heard daily during
October at 1400-1455 on 6120 via Japan was supposed to be in Vietnamese, and I
haven`t found a replacement frequency, how about this? What are the currently
scheduled frequencies for RFI`s Viet service, which may still be in English
instead?
RFI`s Vietnamese page at http://www.rfi.fr/langues/statiques/rfi_vietnamien.asp
appears to have been updated, but with obvious errors like on the English page.
Starting with what year it is currently! And I have no idea if the () have any
significance.
15h-16h GMT Nghe Truy nåp
Ondes courtes du 29/10/07 [sic] au 26/03/07
O.C : 41 m, 7380 Khz
O.C : 19 m ( 15265 Khz )
O.M : 231m ( 1296 khz )
So 7380 and 15265 are where we should look for it. 7380 should be from a FE
site, probably Taiwan, and 15265 should be clear right after R. Solh via
Rampisham closes that frequency. The supposed channels for the 1400 English
broadcast are 7180, 9580 and 15615. Does anyone anywhere hear anything on them?

** GREECE. Brief check of 17525 found VOG again confronting utility QRM from
that variable-pitch chirping every few seconds, Nov 2 at 1436. Checked the 3rd
quarter ITU monitoring report for clue, but nothing there. This makes 17525
unlistenable here. However, that would not be a problem on mixing products!
Since we know two Avlis transmitters produce a mixing product on 6210 (15630
minus 9420) we ought to go looking for other possibilities according to the
B-06 schedule: 17525 minus 9425 = 8105 at 1100-1550; 12105 minus 7475 = 4630 at
2300-0650. Those two are differences. You can also work out sums and other
differences, many of which would be below 4630, from the schedule at

DIGEST)
** IRELAND [non]. Checking WRMI 7385 for RTE Ireland as expected during the 14
UT hour, part of the WRN relay block M-F 13-16, Nov 2 at 1441 heard American
political discussion mentioning Newt Gingrich and John Kerry. O o, has WRMI
switched to domestic programming? No, they were talking to someone with an
Irish accent; only fair signal here as usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** THAILAND [and non]. Unlike 24 hours earlier, the 1400 UT English broadcast
of R. Thailand on 9725 was totally blocked Nov 2 by TIRWR, DGS back on as
usual. What are the hours this Cahuita frequency is nominally on? It`s
coordinated for 24 hours, 50 kW at 345 degrees, uncomfortably close to the
azimuth of Enid (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. Tried to listen to Live from Turkey on its new frequency 12035,
Thursday Nov 2 at 1350, but reception was too poor. If the hosts would
enunciate clearly it would have helped a lot (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
