Glenn Hauser logs September 12-13, 2021  View Printable Version 
Monday, September 13 2021

Logs
** BRAZIL. 9665.854V, Sept 13 at 0610, Brazuguese talk fair from RVM,
frequency wobbling slightly to the ear. Its overall variation is much
wider. Also a JBA het from something closer to 9665.00, no doubt KCBS
Pyongyang on here 22 hpd. No hint on Aoki that RVM varies widely; EiBi
shows 9665.2 as if it were steady there. Better than Aoki which
refuses to show a single variable, split-, off- or decimal frequency,
even perpetual long-established ones. Better than HFCC which refuses
to recognize that there is any SW from Brasil (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 328-MCW kHz, Sept 13 at 0555 UT, ND beacon dash and YTL,
which is 1000 watts from Big Trout Lake, Ontario.

284-MCW kHz, Sept 13 at 0556 UT, ND beacon dash and QD, which is 500
watts from The Pas, Manitoba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 12000, Sept 13 at 0601, RHC English heard just in time on 2 X
much stronger 6000 before both turn off. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950-USB, Sept 13 at 0230, I`m trying to hear
something else on a TN SDR but it`s busy, but someone in Houston is
tuned to 6950-USB, so it must be a pirate, so I camp on that too. It`s
a recording of an old C2CAM show with Art Bell interviewing someone
about pirate radio. Someone here thinx it`s Andy Yoder:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,86351.0.html
apparently as displayed on the SSTV. Some storm noise and fades, 0236
pitch for QSL cards from a PO Box in zip 49016, which is Battle Creek
MI; then plays a clip of some pirate. 0244 clip about wine? and a bit
of `Also Sprach Zarathustra`. 0246 interrupted by SSTV until 0247*
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 960, Sept 13 at 0630 UT, KGWA Enid with promo by J.
Curtis Huckleberry for `What`s Up, Enid`, weekly talkshow with guests
about local events, Fridays at 8:05 am = 1305 UT. It must preëmpt the
first hour of far-right Fox extremist Brian Kilmeade (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9670, Sept 12 at 2212, JBA S3-S6 talk, sounds
same as on huge 9980 WWCR, but not // synchro, i.e. Brother
HyStairical, which Channel 292, GERMANY, has sold it soul to for
time-filling $ $ $ . Rolling in dough, TOM no more now than under BS
himself, has any concept of spending it wisely, i.e. C292 is useless
in `serving` NAm while they are also on numerous high-power US
frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, Sept 12 at 2208, VOT English is on but heavy RTTY
adding up to S9+20/30. Sometimes RTTY can be evited by LSB tuning, but
now it`s equal on both sides. Something`s always awry at Ankara -- in
this case, ever choosing an RTTY-occupied frequency! Which they keep
doing A-season after A-season (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9540, Sept 13 at 1428, S8/S9+10 YL talk with very heavy
flutter, presumably VOT Arabic hour as scheduled, rather than CNR1
jamming vs SOH (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 400-MCW kHz, Sept 13 at 0552, ND beacon AHQ, which is 25
watts from Wahoo, Nebraska (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2103 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
September 12 after 2000 in IRRS SW via Italia AM 918 kHz, S9+23 into
nearby Noale SDR, but unusually with a hint of music CCI beneath.
Probably R. Inter, Madrid, 20 kW which reactivated since WRTH listing
as inactive; shows other 918s in Egypt, Greece, Holland, Iran,
Nigeria. Rock music was playing at 1959; 2000 interrupt for IRRS ID,
and WOR by 2001.

Also confirmed, Sun Sept 12 after 2230 on WRMIs: 9955 S9+23 and new
5950 S9+20 into Athens GA SDR.

Also confirmed UT Mon Sept 13 at 0030 on WRMIs: 7730 VG direct; also
on new 9395, S3-S8 into Maryland SDR but not getting 9455; on new
9455, S9/+10 into Missouri SDR.

Also confirmed UT Mon Sept 13 at 0130 on WRN webcast to N America.

At 2238 UT Sept 12, I posted: ``[WOR] SuperStition back on 9330 --- At
2215 Sept 12, WBCQ 9330 at S9+40/50 so must be the 500 kW -- a rock
opera, so a test? Hardly what would be coming from World`s Last
Chance. Not // 7490- or 6160-``. Followed at 0118 UT Sept 13:

``[WOR] 9330 testing, Area 51 relay --- Hi Glenn, the superstation is
relaying Area 51 tonight on 9330 while they're testing the
transmitter's new tube. I expect to hear WOR at the usual time //
6160. {500 kW, WBCQ. 0300v UT Monday} Lw (Larry Will, 0112:46 UT Sept
12)``

``Yes, WOR started at 0303.5 on 9330, but checked at 0304, 6160 has
switched to Brother Scare! Let`s hope the 9330 test last at least
until 0332..5. BTW a Kiwi shows 9330 plus 32 Hz, S9+40/50 into TN.
Glenn``

``No worries, Glenn. The entire WOR played as did the program after.
Most of the evening Brother Scare would return to 6160 at the top of
the hour until someone would switch it back. I believe it was all
Brother Scare all the time after 0100 or thereabouts. I quit checking
after 0130 and left it on 9330. John [Carver] Mid-North Indiana`` at
0449 UT Sept 13.

``Larry, Tnx, it sure did while 6160 went back to BS already. Too bad
my unexpected closing remark was cut off. Glenn`` Next:

1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 7780 to NE
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW, 9455 to WNW [news]

One may also contribute by MO or check in US funds on a US bank to:
Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 USA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, WBCQ-6 SuperStition reactivated with new PA tube:
first see discussion under WOR monitoring. By 0248 UT Mon Sept 13,
9330 is carrying Area 51 instead of 6160-. S9+40/50 into TN SDR, rock
music. 0300 WBCQ ID but ``Debauchery`` show runs over, wrapping up, DJ
says he is turning 60, refers to current events; finally 0305 singing
ID and into WOR. Recheck at 0603, now it`s USA Radio News, down to
only S8-S9 direct, 0606 into rock music with no ID. I suspect it`s now
relaying WBCQ`s FM or AM station in Monticello, as USA R Nx is not
normally heard on WBCQ-SW itself; but still not handed back to World`s
Last Chance flat-earth nonsense. Next check 1425, VG with
American-accented gospel huxter, maybe WLCR but I await that
exaggerated British accent to be surer (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1520, Sept 13 at 0606, `Red Eye Radio` on KOKC, OKC is
getting ripped up by YL obsessed with stupid sportstalk, same voice
heard on 1430, 1390 KCRC, 1300, maybe 1130. This has been the normal
situation for many months: no one cares that KOLM, Rochester MN is
running 10 kW day facility at night; that would be the CBS Sports
Radio net as also on KCRC. Of course, KOKC would have a better chance
if it cared about resuming 50 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Oceanic JBA MW carrier search, Sept 13 at 0617:
621, 639, 711(2), 747, 846, 882, 1098, 1107 kHz (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

Logs
** CHINA. CNR1 jammers Sept 12 at 1359: JBA carriers on 12880, 12820
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 21690, Sept 12 at 1524, JBA carrier into Kuwait SDR,
presumed RFI Swahili, and still nothing on S-21 registered 25775
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 515-MCW kHz, Sept 12 at 0635 UT & still 1516 chex,
25-watt NDB PN at Ponca City is OFF! It had returned June 26 after a
10- or 11-month absence. Certainly the best NDB signal here, even
better than ``local`` 341 EI when it was on; and PN had been noted
daily/nightly ever since but not logged. So taking another 11-month
break? NO, it`s back on at next check 1829; never mind. BTW, 255 kHz
SW Stillwater is still gone.

The new https://rxx.classaxe.com/en/rna/signals
shows only a dozen currently or recently active in OK. The ones I
still need: 201 BV Bartlesville, 388 OK Okmulgee, 393 BZ Clinton, 400
AI Ardmore. Marked out are *42* more, gone (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** PUERTO RICO. 391-MCW kHz, Sept 12 circa 0630, among almost nightly
chex, I`m alert for beacon DDP at Dorado, as frequently but not always
audible in winter, my only LA NDB, but no sign of it yet. Could it be
off? No, still reported at classaxe.com as of 9/11, with speculation
that power be 3 kW instead of only 2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 402-MCW kHz, Sept 12 at 1356 ND beacon HU, 25 watts from
Hutchinson KS. Seldom heard.

414-MCW kHz, Sept 12 at 0647 UT, seems two JBA NDBs mixing; including
an S - probably SU, 40 watts from Sioux City IA (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2103 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
September 11 at 1804 tune-in to the 1800.6 on IRRS SW 7290 via
Bulgaria into UTwente SDR, VG S9+20/30. Also a few seconds apart on
Italia AM, 918 kHz, S9+27 into nearby Noale SDR.

Also confirmed Sat Sept 11 from 1933 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO VG via
nearby KB0FX SDR.

Also confirmed UT Sun Sept 12 at new time 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG
direct.

Also confirmed UT Sun Sept 12 from 0338 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, Wentzville
MO via nearby Warrenton SDR, S9 with a few storm crashes tho per
Blitzortung none closer than NW Nebraska. Next:

2000 UT Sunday IRRS 918-Italy

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 USA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5920-5950, Sept 12 at 0621, splatter range out of Dead Gene
Scott on WWCR 5935 at extremely strong level S9+40/50 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, Sept 12 at 0626, S9+10 of dead air from WTWW. They
often continue rocking past 0600, but you never know for how long
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 90.1, Sept 12 at 0600 UT, no sign of KUCO OK, rather KHCC
Hutchinson KS. Is KUCO off or with some tropo help has KHCC totally
captured the frequency? At 0600-0601 KHCC has double audio, ending
`Nightcrossings` with IDs also for its two relay stations, and also
BBC top-of-hour ID and promos, 0601-0606 BBC news alone, and stays
with BBCWS programming after 0606. I had previously noted Radio Kansas
signing off at local midnight, believe it or not, thus no more QRM to
KUCO. But that was several months ago. Bigger changes at KHCC:

``Summer Program Schedule Effective July 4th
http://www.radiokansas.net/schedule.cfm

NOTE: We're losing Morning Edition and All Things Considered July 5th
due to new network fee calculation. Our schedule will feature
Marketplace at 5 p.m. and The World both morning and evening!

New Math and the Loss of Drivetime NPR
Thanks for your concern about the loss of Morning Edition (ME) and All
Things Considered (ATC). We miss them too!

Short story:
Our cost for ME & ATC was headed up unsustainably. We’ve transitioned
to new programming now rather than risk taking pledges for shows that
we know we can't keep.

Full story:
http://www.radiokansas.net/nprmath.cfm

You recognize that NPR charges local stations for most shows.
Top-notch programming just can’t happen with national underwriter
support alone, and so NPR tries to calculate the value these shows
bring to each station and its capacity to pay. They recently changed
the math. Any change was bound to increase fees for some stations and
decrease fees for others. They wouldn’t want us to share the details
of their fee calculation, but after a phase-in period, our fee would
go up by $ 70,393 to keep ME & ATC. (See the screen capture to the
right). No new programming to entice this additional support from
listeners...``

ME & ATC remain available to Wichita-area Kansans on KMUW 89.1, but
KHCC will not mention its arch-rival (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search Sept 12 at 0628:
621, 711, 882, 1179, 1296; correlating with Canary Islands - Morocco -
- maybe Spain. No 846 so Kiritimati off? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Logs
** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Sept 11 at 1500 and later chex, LRA36
misses another Saturday broadcast, no signal into Brasil SDR (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 25775, Sept 11 at 1546, no signal from RFI Swahili into
Kuwait or RSA SDRs, but RSA still gets S5-S6 on 21690 until 1559*.

I also check both for WMR Denmark on 25795, 25800, 25805, but zilch
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 12000, Sept 11 at 0618, RHC English is S8-S9, easy copy in
routine bandscan, which means fundamental 6000 is running past usual
0600v*; yes, it`s S9+20/30 there. Midnight MUF from Cuba is hot
tonight; but no sign of harmonix on 12120=RTTY, 12200 or 12330. At
0631 check, 6100 is off but 6060 still on at S9+10/20 with horrible
intermittent humbuzz; 6165 S9+30 with lite hum and distortion.
Something`s always wrong at RHC.

11930 & 11860, Sept 11 at 0621, residual pulse jamming against nothing
are also propagating in the nightmiddle. SAWA.

11462, Sept 11 at 0623, also has S9+20 of dead air, no doubt Spy
Numbers transmitter at one of same sites as RHC & its harmonix, but
per EiBi sked 0454-0550 & 0854-0950 only on days 246 = UT Tue/Thu/Sat.
SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. As in last report, Mix Radio International planned
to be back with a new classical music broadcast on Friday or Saturday
evening. That`s confirmed on the WOR iog at 0125 UT Sat Sept 11:

``[WOR] Mix Radio International 6.880 MHz USB is quite loud in central
NC tonight with relaxing classical music (55545 with a small amount of
QSB). Doug, KA5ETS`` White.

6880-USB, I tune in at 0200, S9/+10 into Maryland SDR, while mainly
audioviewing Fahrenheit 9/11 on Youtube as provided by Michael Moore.
This time there are too-frequent ID breaks and requests for reports of
Mix Radio International WorldWide, by YL robovoice, so the music is
only in snippets despite the well-developed attention spans of
classical fans. Great for DX IDing, however, as some pirates
never/hardly ever ID. I note all these breaks but may have missed a
few more: 0219, 0223, 0227, 0230, 0235, 0242, 0248, 0257, 0308, 0311,
0318, 0320, 0334, 0341, 0345, 0351, 0353, 0400 until 0401* by when it
has faded to S5/S6. A few of the musix noted: Water Music, William
Tell Overture, Also Sprach Zarathustra (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11840, Sat Sept 11 at 1534, Station YHWH is on at S9
direct, usual earnest anti-Christ assertions. This time I beat Rick
Barton, AZ in notifying the WOR iog by only one minute, but he was not
hearing Josiah Elias until 1540 tune-in (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 13660, Sept 11 at 1529, RRI IS, 1530 opening Arabic as
scheduled this hour. Wasn`t sure of language at first,
Romanian-accented? Our SWBC bands will be even more vacant once RRI
give up (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2103 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday September 11 on WRMI 9395, VG S9+5/10 into Maryland SDR.

Subject: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs September +10-11, 2021


** U S A. (7489.9v), UT Sat Sept 11 at 0000, WBCQ webcast of 'AAAWWW'
as I quickly confirm via Maryland SSR that all four are on air: 3265,
4790-, 6160-, 7490-, but still no SuperStition on 9330. From the
outset it's clear this is going to be another Biden-bash relating to
9/11 anniversary, Afghanistan, and COVID-19; the latter of which
however A&A admit they have got shot.against the "synthetic virus".
Yet Angela goes on her anti-vax rants making Allan sound reasonably
moderate. Annoying caller Freddie soon allowed to butt in. 0027
finally date stamp as 10 Sept YOOLF 2021. Then a call from Ryan who
asks what med school Allan went to? Did not, but as he frequently
asserts is "a man of science". 0031 says quadri-casting, asks for
emails.

[Allan likes to utter "kilocycles" as if it were the same as
"kilohertz". They are NOT; as a Man of Science, I know that
"kilocycles" by itself is meaningless, unless it is PER A UNIT OF
TIME, i.e. kilocycles PER SECOND, which is how Kilohertz is defined,
including the "per second" without having to specify it, otherwise
"kHz/sec" would be accelerating.]

Working on SS now. Got replacement tetrode about a week ago. Crate has
10 steel suspension springs, must be worth 5 grand. Tube sits in red
cradle. Going to get some fittings; warm up tube tonight. Filament
struxure is fascinating. Takes 19 v at 1000 amps = 19,000 watts. About
size of a large tomato can; unknown what kind of alloy, whole can
lights up and glows, takes 10-15 minutes to warm that filament up to
avoid short-circuit. Tube is water-cooled. 10 psi, 35-40 gallons per
minute, circulating thru anode sexion. Controls up to a megawatt of
power; losses tho is pretty efficient. At average modulation, draws
950 kW off powerline.

"FCC and other idiots out there will see their day in court." Etc.,
etc. 0054 checking email: Cosmikdebris from beach in DE reception
report; tomorrow evening, their 'Lumpy Gravy' thousandth episode 8 PM
ET on 6160- live from DE. Four minutes ahead of time, someone
complains that stream drops out at 53rd minute of each hour --- NOT
for me tonight! SS hopefully back on air by Monday. 0059 prayer.

John Carver's version: "Tonight's show started on time on 4790, 6160
and 7490. Allan and Angela in the studio. Opening talk about 9/11 and
the anniversary tomorrow. Phone call at 0009 from Freddie. Quickly
turns into some Biden bashing and Covid talk. Results in an argument
between Allan and Angela. Another phone call at 0028 asking Allan
where he studied for his medical degree. Then some talk about the
ongoing work being done to get the superstation going again. Talk
about how much power needed to heat the tube and how much water must
be pumped to keep it cool. Also a passing reference to a a veiled
threat to take the FCC to court over the WHRI sale. Long conversation
between Allan and Angela where Allan spends most of his time trying to
calm Angela down and rein her in. Reading of emails at 0054. Closing
prayer at 0059. Allan also mentioned that the superstation might be up
and running again as early as Monday. Program was off the air at 0100.
John, Mid-North Indiana" (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
