[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs July 7-8, 2008

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

** CHINA [and non]. 13760, July 7 at 0542 in Chinese, seems like defective unstable transmitter with rapid fluxuations, noise also audible on center-channel, M&W discussion, // 15680 about 2 seconds offset. However, in reality, I think the strangeness on 13760 must be a different kind of Chicom jamming, since both these frequencies are R. Free Asia in Mandarin via Tinian at 0300-0700, and no other jamming, such as Firedrake, was audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. Woe betide any station which chooses a SW frequency which is used at any other hour by another station the DentroCuban Jamming Command doesn`t like. Jammers are allowed to run far beyond the ``necessary`` hours, TS. Latest observations:

9515, July 7 at 0536, bubble jamming mixing with raspy jamming vs nothing, but no doubt here because R. República via UK has started using 9515, only at 22-24 UT. AND, lite jamming still/again audible on 9515 at 1222, against nothing, fortunately. Same as on 9885, as previously reported, against non-VOA.

11775, July 7 at 1308, DGS Anguilla faces both Firedrake from China, and bubble jamming from DCJC, because R. Martí is on 11775 only in the evenings.

RHC 9550, was so strong July 7 around 0530 that it was cross-modulating other 31m frequencies such as Spain/Costa Rica on 9630. At first I thought 9630 had some new CCI, till I switched in attenuation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. At first seemed VOI was missing on July 7, but at 1225 could hear weak talk on 9526 in unID language, maybe Indo, and a het; just barely audible carrier at 1306 check. What is on 9525 to het it before 1300? Only thing is R. Polonia in English via Nauen, Germany, which has even less of a chance of being readable here than VOI, whose quality varies greatly from day to day.

VOI, July 8 at 1249 check, could just detect a carrier on 9526 under increasing local noise level again, and there was an even weaker one on 9525, presumably Poland via Germany. At 1328 could only detect the 9526 carrier. Is it still in English during that hour? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VENEZUELA [non]. Tuned across 11705, RNV via Cuba, July 7 at 1227 just as they were announcing their perpetually outdated transmission schedule, then Efemérides for current date (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
