[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs November 4-5

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

** CHINA [non]. DRM on 6075-6085, Nov 5 at 0119 blotting out everything else on
those three frequencies and in between. DRM schedules show this is CRI in
English via Sackville, 277 degrees, 70 kW. It did not, however, impede Defunct
Gene Scott from Anguilla on 6090. Has CRI been publicizing this DRM broadcast?
Not that I recall but have not paid that much attention (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** RUSSIA. 6075, Nov 5 at 1355 had what first sounded like tonal jamming but it
slowly morphed, some minimalist music involving perhaps sitar, various
orchestral instruments. 1359 brief Russian announcement, 1400 5+1 timesignal,
modulation stopped and carrier off 1401. Per PWBR this is R. Rossii, Kamchatka
Radio, Pet-Kam, scheduled to close at this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

5935 at night usually has WWCR with DGS, but Nov 5 around 0600 a co-channel
station was atop, I think in Russian. That would be Magadan via Yakutsk, per
PWBR `2006`, in use long hours during winter, 18-14 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) see also UNID 7200

** SAINT HELENA. Like hundreds of others, I heard R. Saint Helena revival on
11092.5 Nov 4; trying to compile all those reports of it for DXLD has bogged me
down and haven`t yet put together my own version, which may be in next DXLD
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. On 7200, the same type of 200-per-minute oscillations that we
have concluded at other times come from malfuxioning Yakutsk transmitter, also
heard at 0119 UT Nov 5 QRMing news in English, which would be VOA per schedule,
presumably via Morocco. This is an unlikely time for Yak to be propagating, it
seems, as it`s about 10 am local mean time in Yakutsk 129 E/62 N, in broad
daylight; however, maybe by now the solar angle is so low that grayline exists.
It`s almost far enough north for a Midnight Sun come solstice (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Monitoring check of R. Tirana, 7425 during its sesquihour
Albanian service to NAm, UT Nov 5 at 0115 found it with fair reception, but a
bit of SSB scratch on the low side. This turned out to be Spanish 2-way on
7422-USB, which when I tuned there, was having bigger problems from stronger
WBCQ 7415 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
