[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs May 20-21
** AFGHANISTAN [non]. R. Solh, 17700 via UK, May 21 was poor but audible, at
about 1427 playing our favorite `Solh theme` and not cut off at 1430. I
understand the rotation may be more random now, but should check subsequent
days at this time anyway (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ALBANIA. R. Tirana, 13750, which had slight adjacent QRM from TWR Rwanda,
13745, on Friday, May 20, was inaudible on Saturday May 21 at 1300, as was
13745 on the only other day of the week it is scheduled.
May 21 at 1303, 13750 was fair with fades, improved toward the end of the
semihour when music was playing, signal good enough to be bothered by the hum
on the audio.
May 21 at 2022 check, 13720 again with music and hum, somewhat stronger than 7
hours earlier. BTW, 13750 DGS Costa Rica was on the air by this time, but has
never been heard before 1330 since Tirana began using it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** ANTARCTICA. LRA36, 15476, coming in nicely this afternoon May 21, from
tune-in 1921 past 2000. S3 to peaks at S8 or so. Lots of music, alternating
with talk features, several IDs interspersed. Sporadic E over North America may
be helping along the last hop. More details later (Glenn Hauser, circa 2015 UT
May 21, dxldyg via DX LISTENING DIGEST) Viz.:
I was about to enjoy the first hour of WHRB`s Silk Road Orgy with music from
Japan and Mongolia (and lasts until 0300 UT Tuesday), but eschewed it when I
found that 15476 was audiferous, from tune-in at 1915 UT May 21, vocal duet.
Noise level not too bad so audible at S3, with occasional peaks to S8. Quickly
checked 15345 and heard the het denoting RAE also in; then 15820 for LTA, but
no chance of that as WWCR 15825 was inbooming, revealing a sporadic E opening
in progress. Es clouds generally over NAm up to at least 16 MHz could well be
helping LRA36 along on the last hop of its long journey.
Several IDs were heard in the next semi-sesquihour, using the callsign LRA-36;
music alternating with few minutes of talk features, but hard to follow with
the weak signal and fading. ID at 1934 in Spanish, and then in Japanese! 1941
gave a local time check in UT -3. Music was mostly vocal, sometimes duet, with
guitar accompaniment. 1950 talk feature was enumerating something point by
point. 1959 duet continued past hourtop when I went back to WHRB webcast with
computer wiping out signals such as this (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
Solar-terrestrial indices for 21 May follow. Solar flux 73 and estimated
mid-latitude A-Index 4. The mid-latitude K-index at 2100 UTC on 21 May was 1 (8
nT). No space weather storms were observed for the past 24 hours. No space
weather storms are expected for the next 24 hours (SEC via DXLD)
** CHINA. Not hearing Firedrake against Sound of Hope lately on 9200, even when
it is coming in well on 10300, so has the lower frequency moved? May 20 at 1343
on 10300, not 9200; May 21 at 1359 ditto, but then 10300 went off for 5-minute
monitoring break (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 17436.0, 5-digit Spanish numbers by YL on AM, very strong, 20
over 9, May 21 at 1729 while R. Rebelde 17735 was only 15 over 9, as carrier
had not gone off yet at 1730 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
