[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs September 7-9
** AFGHANISTAN [non]. R. Solh, via UK, had not been audible for a couple of
weeks, but propagation is improving a bit. In fact, Saturday Sept 8 from before
1400 past 1600, 17700 was fairly audible here with almost continuous music, and
also on Sept 9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ALASKA. Besides Schickele Mix, another real fun radio show is on the way
out. I think produxion ceased several years ago, and indeed its home station
WVXU no longer exists as an independent entity, but a few stations have still
been running RIDERS RADIO THEATRE, a weekly semihour of humourous skits,
faux-radio drama, and cowboy songs that your commercial country station would
not be caught dead playing.
See previous item in DXLD 6-011. 21 months later, Publicradiofan.com now has
only three airings, not including the one we just heard UT Sat Sept 8 at
0230-0300 on KCHU 770 Valdez but whose stream is unfortunately only 16 kbps.
WVRU still has RRT on their schedule Sat 1200 UT, followed by the companion
show COW PIE RADIO, neither confirmed as scheduling and webcasting from this
station have been unreliable in the past. PRF also has it Sat 1330 on KGLP, but
it is not on their grid now, and webcasting is still suspended. Nor does it now
show on the KSUT grid at the same time. Anyhow, we know it is still running on
KCHU (na zdar!) Friday nights. And the Riders are still plenty busy touring;
catch them in person if you can. Also have, of course a blog via
http://www.ridersinthesky.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY [non]. DW via RWANDA, Sept 7 at 2130 on 15205 with usual excellent
signal which could be mistaken for a NAm instead of a WAf service, magazine
show of several stories, including problems of Turkish Moslems in Germany and
Moroccans in Netherlands; Jews in Berlin, the ``most cosmopolitical city``,
then chopped off at 2157 sharp before show was over. This is no mistake, but
built into the system. The question is, why don`t they match the program
lengths to the transmitter availability? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** LAOS [non]. Reconfirmed Hmong Lao Radio running on 11785, Sunday Sept 9
until 1359 WHRI ID, but for some reason retuned at 1404, and heard more Hmong!
Just in time for ID in passing as Hmong World Christian Radio, with St. Paul
address, website. This is still missing from the WHR online schedule, just
showing it as Tue & Thu 12-13 on 12135, which is KWHR. So the additional Hmong
presumably runs another hour at least on Sunday mornings until 1500. Unless you
understand Hmong, this one is also worth listening to for the exotic music
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. XERTA, 4810 missing around 0530 check Sept 9. Thierry Fricot in the
DF explains why, forwarding a bulletin from XE1RCS wherein the station says
they are off for 30-60 days as they are replacing their antenna. Now, is the
blob of noise on the high side of 4810 gone with it? (Glenn Hauser, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Spotted another Talking House sign as we drove around Enid on West
Chestnut at the intersexion of Briar Ridge, but WTFK? Had to go a few blox
north to get to the house and another sign with the frequency on it, 1670. But
yet another sign beside it said the house was SOLD. But the 1670 transmitter
was still running as if it were available. Greg Winkeljohn (sp?) was speaking,
for Remax Premier Realators (as he pronounces it, and he am one!); phone (580)
231-0992 given several times during spiel. Refer to Offer #456, or see
http://www.enidhomes.com Address of this one is 4322 Briar Ridge; it`s 3 BR,
and has other wonderful attributes.
Also used part of his spiel to promote the Talking House angle and offer it to
other sellers; ask him for a free video about it. This one on 1670 has better
range than some of the others monitored recently. Could still be heard back at
the Chestnut intersexion, and even audible on crummy caradio as far east as
Chestnut @ Oakwood. This was in mid-afternoon Sept 7, so no skywave to QRM, but
surely could be heard in Bellabarba`s Italy. Is that enough info for a QSL?
(Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH AFRICA. Must be Channel Africa, as scheduled in English during this
hour on 17770, but Sept 7 at 1427 found open carrier only, 1428 off, 1429 back
on for a few sex with English talk, off again (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
