Subject: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs January 9-10-11, 2022** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Jan 8 at 2300, VOT English VG S9+35 into
UTwente, news about Kazakhstan. Today`s transmitter is the one with
good modulation and no squeal! Direct at 2312, it`s S8-S9, poor with
flutter, noise.
5959.979, Jan 9 at 0007, The Mighty KBC via Nauen, GERMANY, S9+18/20,
measured here but with ripple SAH, CCI into UTwente, probably not
Turkey bonus German but PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi, EAST TURKISTAN, land of
imperialist ChiCom genocide, per Aoki carrying CNR1 during this
semihour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR, Jan 8)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Jan 10 at 2337, JBA carrier only direct:
must be EAST TURKISTAN, rather than AWOL VOT English: yes, since at
2346 recheck, undermodulated music at S9+10/20 from Turkey on late or
intermittently. One more check, this time via remote in Maryland, at
2354: S5-S6, and the TRT interval signal is playing --- backwards!!!!

I had just started to record it when cut off air at 2356*. Could they
be playing it off a reel-to-reel tape? Cassettes won`t play backwards.
I suppose some software could do it, deliberately, or by accident?
First time I have heard any backwards music in many years; thanks,
VOT, where something`s always awry at Ankara, and/or erroneous at
Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR, Jan 10)

** VATICAN. 13830, Jan 10 at 1551, VR in Amharic, S9/+10, with
long/short path echo. This is 250 kW at 135 degrees. Exacerbated by
SMG capability of radiating considerable signal directly off the back
of antenna, which would be 315 degrees, USward. Strangely enough,
distancefromto.net does have Santa Maria di Galeria in its database,
computing distance direct to Enid as 8786.29 km = 5459.55 statute
miles.Rounding off a bit, taking Earth circumference as 40,075 km, the
longpath = 31289 km, which is 22503 km further than shortpath. Taking
speed of light at 299,792 km/sec, that makes a delay of 0.075 second
or approx. 1/13 of one second echo. That is, assuming propagation at
ground level, so everything slightly further bouncing up and down from
the ionosphere. How many hops, I wonder?
11935, Jan 10 at 1557, I also hear the other VR Amharic, just in time
with IS and cut off at 1558*; no echo noted. This one is 250 kW at 113
degrees from SMG (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR, Jan 10)
