Glenn Hauser logs December 21-22, 2024

Sunday, December 22 2024


** CANADA. 328 MCW kHz, Dec 22 at 0748 UT, dash and YTL, 1000 watt NDB
at Big Trout Lake, Ont. I`m copying it on 329 USB, which I thought was
its frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 1040, Dec 22 at 0224, wobbler is JBA under WHO and
Florida. Not heard on 870 this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY. Uncle Bill Tilford replies to my last report about no
reception of `Melting Pot`, Dec 21 at 0400 on 9670: ``I did get an
accurate, detailed reception report from a listener in Uruguay using a
remote websdr in North Carolina, but yeah, this has performed poorly
two weeks in a row. Whether seasonal propagation or something at the
transmitter, no sense in keeping the 0400 broadcast. Even when the
signal is better it wrestles with the Brazilian evangelists on 9665,
so that was the last transmission at 0400.``

So I try the next play: At 1800 am getting 9670 fairly well via
UTwente, despite proximity to Channel 292, but deep fades - not much
at SDRs in Russia, Cyprus, Romania, etc. And nothing on two SDRs in
India, despite S Asian `target`. And then by 1814 fades down and
almost out at UTwente. Try Ireland, even tho in wrong direxion. I`m
getting it fairly now on one of those, vs some noise. That too loses
out by around 1840.

One more chance, 2200 on 6070 and 3955. 6070 is no good into UTwente,
but 3955 is S9+5/15, no QRM and holds up so I hear the whole show.

While I am all for programming to be on Shortwave, primarily, it`s too
bad if there be no backup/alternative allowed for those who really
want to hear it, such as webcast, even on-demand (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** MALI. 5995, Dec 22 at 0759, JBA signal, presumed R Mali remnant; I
stay on it watching the watch for it to cut off, which it does at
0800:44*. Then I switch to 9635 and wait for it to cut on, which it
does exactly one sesquiminute later at *0802:14 during music, now
S6/S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6880 AM, Dec 22 at 0145, pirate music S9+10 but JBA
vs noise at same level. Off by 0201 check. Many reports here including
complete? playlist, 2248-0157* but nary an ID:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950 USB, Dec 22 at 0146 hard rock, just started?
Not heard as I tuned across a minute or two before. S9+10/20. 0203
hard rock screaming version almost parody of carol ``Tidings of
Comfort & Joy``, and more like that at 0236. These say it`s Two Dog
Radio, at 0145-0300*, ``Christmas show with great metal versions of
the classics!`` and more to come tomorrow night:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 7250, Dec 22 at 0156, new S9+30 bigsig here, Portuguese?
song. No, must be Romanian, 0200 RRI ID and more music. Also heard by
others in WOR iog; ex-9700. Jean-Michel Aubier says, ``Most of RRI
frequencies have been changed recently. All services are affected
except Serbian, Italian, Ukrainian and Aromanian``

John A. Figliozzi says, ``Romanian has moved to 7250 kHz. This is not
currently noted on the rri.ro website as far as I can tell.
Parenthetically, weekends especially relay music  programs from the
domestic Radio Romania Muzical. Currently, at 0204, there’s a
classical music concert in progress. RRI’s transmitters are top notch
and put a very strong signal into at least Eastern NA from both their
NA and EU services. 0500-0557 the Romanian language program relays the
morning program from the domestic Radio Romania Actualitati on 7220
kHz that includes many pop music selections.``

Ricky Leong, Calgary, Alberta, Canada: ``In EE at 0400 UTC, they are
using both 7410 kHz (registered in HFCC but not in use until now in
B24) and 9510 (registered frequency and regularly in use so far during
B24). First noticed this yesterday and it seems to be happening again
today. 73``

Hope this is up to date or comprehensive including alternates:

BTW, 7250 is an INTRUDER into the American ham band. Why does HFCC
tolerate that? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 7265, Dec 22 at 0157, VOT IS and Spanish IDs, S9+20/30
direct; for Central America, another INTRUDER into 40m hamband (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.004-, Sat Dec 21, S9+30/40 via UTwente VG at 2300.5
tune-in, olds already underway about Magdeburg so suspect had a
head-start before 2300.0 as occasionally happens. Already over at
2308.5 for ``with-you-every-hour`` promo, and no CCCCCCI maybe not
quite yet signed on. 2309 `The Energy Agenda` about 7 categories of
energy storage technologies, i.e. buy when cheapest and release when
needed: batteries & cells; thermal/water; mechanical/hydraulic;
compressed air; liquified air; giant batteries/dams. Is that 7, or 6?
2314 ``always-by-your-side`` promo. 2315 music. 2319 ``a-b-y-s`` again
already! 2323 `Turkey`s Geomarked Products` repeat, something with
hazelnuts, recipe. 2325.5 music and now the 6CI is JBA. 2343
``a-b-y-s`` for 3rd time! Well, always means her zaman; and more music
until 2352 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2354 s/off as if 1330 on
13635: something`s always awry at Ankara. 2355 IS for 8 notes and chop
uncovering Chinese, no finesse. Something`s always erroneous at
Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 341 MCW kHz, Dec 22 at 0750, DNI, 25-watt NDB at
Sherman-DeNIson TX is JBA, now with no competition from defunct EI, EnId
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2274 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
December 21 at 1833 the 1830 on SW radio, Germany, 3975.001-, S7/S8
but noisy into UTwente.

Also confirmed Saturday December 21 at 2030 on WRN North America
webcast.

Also confirmed Saturday December 21 from 2047 the 2030v on WA0RCR,
1860 AM, MO, S9+20 groundwave into nearby SDR.

IRRS webcast only.

Also confirmed UT Sunday December 22 at 0100 on WRMI 9955, S7/9 into
Bonaire SDR, no jamming but undermodulated e.g. much softer than TOMBS
via WTWW 9930. By 0206 check with something else, 9955 is JBM
direct.

Also confirmed UT Sunday December 22 at 0449 about 5 minutes into so

** U S A. 7490-, UT Sun Dec 22 at 0200, NO signal from WBCQ, which
should be in `SW Saturday Night` with J P. What`s wrong? But 6160- is
on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1040 kHz, Dec 22 at 0224 UT, surprised to hear two signals
about equal, WHO on N/S antenna, and on E/W loop at 0225 an ad in
English for something between Tarpon Springs and Naples, i.e. Florida,
but those are nowhere near each other. T.S. is close to WHBO, Pinellas
Park, U2 3600/420. Radio-locator shows night pattern with a minor lobe
to NW, not day pattern. Certainly doing well if 420 watts. The only
other FL on 1040 is WURN Miami, Spanish beamed away from us, but
closer to Naples than WHBO (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 810.566 approx., Dec 22 at 0213 UT, big het against WHB,
no modulation on it. Not there at 0508 check, but JBA at 0620. No idea
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Dec 22 at 0150:
819 and 1053 kHz only. 819 nuzzled up right next to the far-right
extremists on WBAP, detectable tuning both 818 USB and 820 LSB: maybe
300 kW EGYPT as speculated a week ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1200 kHz, Dec 22 at 0228 UT, much like the situation on
1040, on N/S antenna I have WOAI of course, but E/W loop is getting
something else in English, ad for texting `bean 717767`, fade. Someone
easterly likely still on ND day pattern and power. WRTO Chicago is
fairly common but did not get a bearing on this and it`s Spanish
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
