WORLD OF RADIO HITLIST update
Hi Glenn, My latest Hitlist update. https://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm 1) Australia - Unique R: added entries for frequencies and programmes 2) Israel - KAN: Updated entry for KAN English news (Thanks to Daniel Rosenzweig) 3) USA - KVOH: Deleted entries for schedules and live streams as all have been discontinued The next update is scheduled for early September. Best wishes and 73, Alan Roe ** CUBA. 11670, August 1 at 0646, tonight`s extra RHC, Spanish, S9+10/20 and undermodulated; also with squeal and dirty spurs about plus/minus 3 kHz. Same symptom I logged July 29 at 0704 on 11760. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9439.995, August 1 at 2139 check via UTwente, R. Cairo is on at S9+35/40 with extremely distorted and undermodulated music during ``English`` sesquihour. Something`s always egregious in Egypt, abysmal at Abis. WRTH shows 2 x 125 kW at Abis only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KURDISTAN [non]. 17450.002, August 1 at 1546, S7/S9 into UTwente, ME music. 1550 there is slightly offset CW QRM, mainly sending numbers. Now there are two stations making fast SAH, one talking and one musicking; obviously Dengê Welat and Recep`s jammer. Later by 1615 the additional warbling QRM is like fast RTTY. Why doesn`t D.W. move away? Perhaps the jamming be not nearly so effective as it seem from afar. Basic propagation tells us that the higher the frequency, the further the skip zone. Uzbekistan to Kurdistanish Turkey may be optimum, while Emirler as a jamming source in central Turkey may be way too close, but makes Recep feel good, at least trying to censor it. Emirler to Diyarbakir is 785 km = 488 miles, per distancefromto.net which pinpoints Emirler considerably NW of Ankara near the Black Sea cost, and Bolu, Duzce, Karabuk --- but WRTH 2023 map page 57 nestles Emirler right close to Ankara, just to the south of the capital. Ankara/Diyarbakir: 674 km = 419 miles, even worse. Of course it would require constant monitoring by D.W. PKK HQ, wherever that may be, Belgium per page 673 or WRTH 2023; which also asserted the 11 and 7 MHz frequencies were via Bulgaria; and constant contact with the ops in Tashkent effectively to jump around mousily vs the cattily Turx, but they have done so in the past. I am checking this after hearing nothing in the 17450-17495 range direct, nor had noticed anything for several days at random tunethrus, so could D.W. have made a total frequency change, even to a different band? Apparently not, but direct propagation from Uzbekistan, even Turkey has been degraded. Still clashing past 1800, jamusic generally atop. At 1810, UTwente displays as 17450.010. By 1847 the rapid rippling SAH is even more severe, indicating both signals strong and near equal level. At 1921 again with RTTY warble QRM too. Still past 2000. At 2003 I check direct: two JBA carriers approx. 17450.15 and 17450.26 -- maybe that`s the RTTY transmitter. On UTwente at 2050 now there is only one VG signal with singing, presumably the jammer, on 17450.002. By now D.W. may have closed or faded out near midnight. Still no other signals up to 17500. Still VG music on 17450 past 2137. At 2158 I make a quick switch to 11785 for VOT English. Cuts on shortly after 2200 for a few sex without modulation, then off again. At 2203 I go back to 17450 and find it`s finally off, just the warble QRM. At 2205 I go back on 11785.008 and find it`s back on to stay amid news in English, S9+20. I would not be surprised if it`s the very same transmitter tho can`t be certain on a single receiver whether they overlapped. For B22 WRTH 2023 showed DW until 2200*, but version 17 Aug 1 of the A23 updater shows 17460v until 2100*. I`ve been on UTwente continuously for over 6 hours. It`s a great resource, huge capacity so you can always get on, and no timeouts (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785, opening of VOT English August 1 at 2200 is covered under KURDISTAN [non], following 6+ hours of jamming 17450 Dengê Welat. Not really paying attn to content this time, but off around 2255, no extra German or Portuguese (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2201 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday August 1 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/20 into Missouri SDR. Next: 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 1000 UT Wednesday Unique R, NSW 5035-LSB 1030 UT Wednesday Unique R, NSW 5035-LSB [previous #2200] 2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW Thanks this week to William T Hassig, Mt Prospect IL, ``Congrats on 2200 World of Radios`` with a generous check in US funds on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15610, August 1 at 2006, RCC talk, S5/S6 direct; 2019 EWTN ID in passing -- so ``more Catholic than the Pope`` WEWN English is definitely back, gone since last summer. Still registered for entire A23 at 19-24 UT, 250 kW at 85 degrees. What about at other hours? Was 9385 at 00-09, but IIRC was different transmitter and crashed even before 15610. And 9470 at 09-13, even rarer if ever. Before that, 15610 also ran 1300-1900, not this morning (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2315 UT August 1 _ 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/
