[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs June 16-19, 2008
** CUBA. Heavy jamming on 6100, June 16 at 0601 check against nothing --- R. República is on 6100 for only two hours in evening, and WHRI has tested Cuban music recently around 0900-1300. At 1342, also jamming on 7365 but no WHRI Cuban music audible this date; previously ran until 1500. 7365 jamming was at about same level as against R. Martí on 7405, also inaudible tho supposedly runs until 1400. At 1436 recheck, jamming still on 7365, but jamming gone from 7405. BTW, WHRI 11785 was not on the air at this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. DentroCuban Jamming Command still running residual pulses on 7365, June 19 at 1258 check, tho WHRI Cuban music tests are no longer there.
OTOH, RHC missing from 9550, June 19 at 1316; all the other frequencies on 11, 12, 13 and 15 MHz were on as usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH. VOK, 11710, strong enough to audiblize its spur on 11644.1, June 19 at 1310 in English to NAm. The spur more distorted than the fundamental. Also could detect matching spur carrier on 11776, but buried under PMS, Firedrake, and Firedrake victim. Also audible on // 9335 and // 13760 for Europe, within a SAH of RHC and underneath it.
KCBS domestic service with choral music on 11679.8, June 19 at 1312. VOK Chinese on 11735+ a smidgin above at 1325 June 19 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. Usually hear nothing in summer on 9690 in the mornings, tho on a good winter day AIR sesquihour in English to SE Asia at 1330 sometimes makes it. So surprised to find fair signal with hilife music, June 16 at 1346; soon IDed at 1348 as V. of Nigeria. For a while there was a fast SAH, possibly India. Then at 1351 the VON signal suddenly increased to good S9+20 level, as if they had pumped up the power or made an antenna switch, but maybe just a propagational quirk. 1353 talked about singer Victor Olaya (sp?) from the 1960s. Modulation was at good level, but somewhat distorted; outro program ``Time for Hilife``. 1359 live YL announcer took over, said that show is Mondays at 1330, ID, 1400 she went into newscast, as signal was fading down again, and there was a pause of at least 30 seconds within, not sure if program feed problem, or she was hunting for copy. A shorter pause later before ending at 1405, with ID, into discussion show, but
unreadable by 1415, still audible at 1434. Wonder if it could have been by longpath. No sign of this in the 1330-1355 period June 19 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1413, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Tone tests from WE2XFZ, Chilocco, OK, by the OSU Multispectral Laboratory, have been heard on 540, 830, 1680 kHz and 107.5 MHz by gh and other listeners in Oklahoma and Pennsylvania, June 16-18, detailed in postings to MW DX lists, and in DX Listening Digests 8-070, upcoming 8-071, q.v.
A reminder from last year`s DXLD 7-085: THERE COULD BE SHORTWAVE TESTS TOO --- PATROL THESE FREQUENCIES, 1 kW on USB, LSB, AME, also from the Chilocco OK and/or Flying H, NM, but different callsign, WE2XEV, on
4015, 4085, 12115, 12185, 22015, 22085, 26115, 26185.
NTIA accepted these, but two more frequencies had not yet been accepted, 12415 and 12485 (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. Sunday, June 15 observations of Aló, Presidente service via Cuba: at 1418 on 13750 and 17750 synchronized, but weaker 11670 with a SAH was unsynchronized, making an echo with the others. No signal on 13680. 11875 had open carrier, which suddenly brought up program audio in progress at 1432 // 13750 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
