** ALASKA. HAARP is very busy now. Amanda Dawn Christie has a new art project, Ghosts in the Air Glow, explained here: https://ghostsintheairglow.space/transmission/october-2022
``Ghosts in the Air Glow: is a transmission art project working with the HAARP Ionospheric Research Instrument to mix audio and images at the liminal boundaries of earth’s atmosphere and outer space. Composition No. 2 is a half hour transmission artwork that will be transmitted four times from the HAARP Ionospheric Research Instrument during the October 2022 research campaign. Air glow and Luxembourg experiments will be paired with the AM modulation of Narrow Band Television (NBTV) video art, spoken word, and sound art created by Amanda Dawn Christie`` I monitor the first one for 0600-0630 UT Oct 23, mainly via: https://ghostsintheairglow.space/ These two YT streams depend on someone else`s tuning on the ground at Gakona, not necessarily coinciding with exactly what is transmitted. Here`s how I attempted to log those; first, the one on the left: 0600 4850, 0604 4850 off, change to 3300; 0612 back to 4850; 0615 to 5400; 0617 4850; 0618 off, to 5400; 0622 off, to 4800 vs CODAR, error? 0623 to 4774.098 tuning around; 0624 on 5400, 0628 off, to 4850, 0629.7* all off. The right one: 0600 5400, 0606 9500, 0612 4850, 0615 4800, 0617 4850, 0627 4845?, 0628 4850. Those do not match exactly the tentative frequencies on the page: 4.85, 5.84, 9.5, 3.3 MHz. 9500, Oct 23 at 0608 is the only frequency I hear direct, carrier at quick check. Nothing audible on the lower ones. As for the content: audio: mostly noise, but musical intervals, including singing, presumably ADC herself. Nothing recognizable until the final tune I was trying to place. Eric Fetters-Walp in WA does: ``To my ears, that final tune at 0628 UTC sounded very much like a version of "Hush Little Baby (Mama's Gonna Buy You a Mockingbird."`` The right one only has a visual display of rapidly changing blocks at various scales of gray, which seems to be continuous regardless of frequency changes. I guess this is the ``art``, but certainly conveys no information, to me. Further airings are Oct 24 at 0600-0630; 25 & 26 at 1630-1700 UT. However, some of the times during the latter are outside, typos?? HAARP website showed 0530-0600 for the first one, obviously wrong, as there was also a countdown clock leading to 06:00:00. You would not know it from ADC`s publicity, but this is only one part of extensive HAARP experiments now underway: https://www.gi.alaska.edu/news/haarp-begin-largest-set-experiments-its-new-observatory That page has no details of times and frequencies. A more explicit press release has appeared in the WOR iog and also here: http://www.arrl.org/files/file/News/ARRL%20Letter/2022-10-20/HAARP%20Transmission%20Schedule%20October%202022.pdf Without specialized scientific equipment, we cannot make anything out of the results, so look forward to official explanations. One frequency listed for 22-24 UT Oct 22 was 9600, but I heard nothing at 2315/2330 into KFS remotes. Walt Salmaniw, BC, did hear something there later. Tnx to Richard Langley for alerting us about ADC`s opus (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5040, 6000, 6060, 6100, 6165, 11670, 11760, Sunday October 23 at 0703, all RHC frequencies are off when weekly Esperanto would otherwise emit. I do hear it at 1503, S7/S9 on 15140 and much better on S7/S9 11760, still claiming that the first airing be at 0800. In another biweek, that time at least will again be correct. Something`s always wrong at RHC. 5025 Rebelde also still AWOL at 0702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** JAPAN. 9615, Oct 23 at 0706, medley of classic rock tunes, Japanese announcements, S7/S9. Yes, it`s NHK direct at 0655-0900 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Oct 23 at 0657, no JBA carrier from R. Kiribati, presumably another silent Sunday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, Oct 23 at 0658, no signal from VON. Nor at 1830 into Alicante, Spain SDR altho Dan Robinson is listening to some Europirate on 6931+. Canary Islands SDR which I always check first, was tied up by its German ham (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 17855, Oct 23 at 1507, No signal direct from REE NAm frequency by when it should be on, weekends. Leaves us with offtheback from 15520 to ME, and too weak 11940 for SAm. Something`s always nogood at Noblejas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830.021, Oct 22 at 2223, VOT at S9+45 into UTwente, OK modulation except for some hum, concluding feature sounding like ``Gripping Piles`` -- am fairly sure neither word be correct, but tnx to her heavy accent, and impossible to find any English program sked on website. https://www.trtworld.com/ --- a few years ago, VOT RADIO on SW was merged into the mainly TV website, and now there is a blank space on WOR HITLIST for English programming. Apparently the only radio programming it displays is for Tuerkiyeish language. 2229 multi-lingual ID filler reel; off at 2254*. Something`s awry at Ankara (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U K [non]. 11930, Oct 23 at 0700, JBA carrier amid Cuban jamming, surely not R. Martí at this hour: Aoki shows BBC French via ASCENSION daily at 0700-0730: another frequency management failure, not avoiding this frequency like the plague, since Cuba will jam it whether RM be on it or not. I see others blithely using 11930 even when both RM and jamming are on it: Turkey, Sa`udi Arabia. Yes, their circuits and targets may be diverse, but why risk co-channel to a radio war? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2161 monitoring: continued from last report: the unscheduled appearance Saturday October 22 at 1814 on IRRS 7290 & 1323: indeed it was a fragment, first half only, cut to something else at 1830, but not before had concluded my ITALY item about the late Dario Monferini. Also confirmed Saturday October 22 at 1950 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+18 into nearby SDR, about 23 minutes into so started circa 1927. Reconfirmed NOT on WRMI 15770, Sat Oct 23 at 1930, despite staying on the websked months after replaced by a gospel huxter. Reconfirmed NOT on 7780 or any other WRMI frequency at 0030 UT Sunday October 23. Confirmed UT Sunday October 23 until 0348 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, so started circa 0319. Next: 2000 UT Sunday IRRS 1323 & 918? & 207?-Italy 0030 UT Monday WRMI 5950 to NNW 0030 UT Monday WRMI *7780 to SW 0300vUT Monday WBCQ Area 51 6160v to WSW 0030 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW [missed last week by mistake] 2230 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed by Cuba] 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S *7780 still not restored as of Oct 23 Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html A noncommercial service for which financial support is appreciated. Thanks this week to Andy Reid, Ontario, for a contribution via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com Or by money order or check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 17790, Oct 23 at 1506, WRMI is S9/+10 with R. Africa service to SAm, much better way over here than ex-21525 still lacking a proper antenna. WRMI itself presents no specific program sked, but AFAIK it`s 100% gospel huxters. The gals at PanAm are jumping for joy: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=966035550999514&set=pb.100027792350339.-2207520000.&type=3 https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=966035547666181&set=pb.100027792350339.-2207520000.&type=3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, Oct 23 at 0658, no signal from R. Vanuatu; nor 11835 after 0700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1951 UT October 23 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/
