 ** GERMANY. 3955, Feb 1 after 2200, Texas Radio SW, monthly via Channel 292, too poor into UTwente, and too much programming competition at this hour. Next two repeats are for E & W North America on 9670. JBA carriers direct! At 0200, into Maryland SDR insufficient S4/S6 and noisy, `YROT` opening theme. At 0415, only wideband QRM, maybe something local at NA5B. By 0448, no signal direct or to Maryland, but at 0454, N9AZZ has fair S4/S6 signal. Too bad can`t be on a WRMI bigsig (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** PHILIPPINES. 11504 approx., Feb 2 at 1551, rough peak of extremely distorted Korean, S9+15 direct, FMish out to 11496/11507. Is RFA via Tinang, VERY out of order, normally a goodsig on 11510 here at 21 degrees far beyond target area. Now there is also a JBA carrier on 11510, probably the KurdoTurko radio war, nothing else listed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ROMANIA [and non]. 15250 & 15370, Feb 2 at 1548 among few sigs on 19m, JBA carriers with extreme Doppler flutter, the lower one slightly stronger. EiBi shows both can only be RRI, via Tsiganeshti and Galbeni resp., 307 thisaway & 285 degrees. I assumed at first with such heavy Dfl, would be from China or something east-Asian. Continued at: VATICAN [non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15016 USB, Feb 2 until 1545*, US military crypto message exercise, repeated, and ``Mill Run, out`` in an ever-changing tactical ID (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2280 monitoring: confirmed UT Sunday February 2 at 0100 on WRMI 9955, S9+15/20 off the back into Georgia SDR, after hearing nothing but noise at Bonaire. Also confirmed UT Sunday February 2 at 0414 about 10 minutes into so started circa 0404 the 0415v on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S8/9+5 into N9AZZ remote in IL. Next: ** U S A. 15150.000, Feb 2 at 1546, S8/9+20 of dead air from WMLK. Still dead at 1658, S9+5/15 into UTwente, calibrated vs WWV 15000, until cutoff at 1701* -- just as scheduled, 1200-1700. Maybe soon to deaden likewise on 17525? Nominal *1730 but nothing by 1746 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VATICAN [non]. Continued from ROMANIA, which had heavy Doppler flutter on two 19mb signals: Yet Feb 2 at 1550, Vatican in Amharic on 15565 is loud & clear, no flutter, belying listings as SMG site which would be offtheback of thataway, instead of MADAGASCAR, coincidentally aimed thisaway. Latest HFCC Jan 30 still claims all 15565 VR broadcasts are from SMG. I don`t believe it. I have often observed about this and other VR transmissions to the SE have incredibly strong signals here to the NW if really out of SMG (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1955 UT February 2 _ 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/
