[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs August 7-8
** CHINA [non]. R. Internacional da China puts a good signal into CNAm, despite
being beamed NE from CVC Chile, on 9870, in Portuguese to Brasil, Aug 8 at 1153
about ethnic folk music from Sinkiang; 1155 gave schedule in that language
including ``17625`` for this 8-9 am Brasília time broadcast! But their B-season
frequency for this was 15540, and A-season 9870, with 17625 in Chinese and
English not coming on until 1200. Why don`t they know this back in Beijing?
Have none of their Brasilian listeners brought this to their attention? Now
that this has been pointed out in DXLD, they have no excuse (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC missing from usual monstrous signal on 15370, Aug 8 at 1358, but
audible on weak 15190 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. More strange programming from Open Radio for North Korea,
Aug 8 at 1150 on KWHR 9930: Bossa Nova music seguéd into Piaf`s Vie en Rose,
with Korean M&W dialog overriding; no jamming audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA SOUTH [non]. KBSWR English via Sackville, 9650, Aug 8 at 1202 with
news of upcoming N/S summit, but with considerable CCI in French. Previously I
had noticed VOK in Japanese co-channel during this hour, and Aoki shows the
three-way collision:
9650 KBS WORLD RADIO 1200-1300 1234567 English 250 268 Sackville CAN
9650 R. FRANCE INT. 1200-1300 1234567 French 100 352 Tainan TWN
9650 Voice of Korea 1100-1250 1234567 Japanese 200 109 Kujang KRE
Clearly it is about time KBS found a better frequency for us (Glenn Hauser, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. RNZI`s latest analog frequency at 11-13, 9655, is no good here;
besides being the only one aimed NW, it is also squeezed between Sackville 9650
with KBS and WHRI 9660 with BBCWS. In fact, on Aug 8 after 1200 I could not be
sure RNZI was on 9655 at all, despite posted schedule on website. Former 9870
is occupied by China-via-Chile until 1200, maybe why RNZI moved, but to
somewhere else? 9520 is another alternate. At least we have RNZI DRM buzzing
away on 7145 in the middle of our hamband (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** SINGAPORE. RSI`s national day message from the PM must have been what I
could barely hear as scheduled, Aug 8 at 1140 on 6080; something about progress
and challenges facing the island. Heavy QRM de Chinese echoic jamming on 6085
against Taiwan. // 6150 was below Pastor Melissa Scott et al., useless.
Rechecked at 1210, 6080 was clearer with ID in news (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non?]. VOA Spanish on 7370, Aug 8 at 1222, VG signal from
Greenville but marred by occasional Spanish comments interjected. Unless it was
a program feed problem, I suspect this was some 2-way SSB on exactly same
frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. Sometimes RNV Canal Internacional via Cuba is current, but
not on Aug 8: at 1137 their `Efemérides` feature (this day in history) was
about July 31! Including the CIA`s role in the plane crash death of Panamanian
leader Omar Torrijos in 1981. Audio was somewhat distorted on 6060 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
