http://www.hard-core-dx.com/index.php?topic=Hauser

Best DX wishes, Glenn Hauser

** BRAZIL. 11780.010, Jan 25 at 1332, Brazilian talk and music but
only S5-S8 as RNA is normally weak in our mornings. Recheck at 1425,
no signal; at 1517 a JBA carrier which by now could be TWR SWAZILAND
in Somali. Apparently RNA is not on continuously all-day (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, Jan 25 at 0649, RHC English undermodulated // louder
and louder: 6100 < 6165 < 6060 < 5040, the last of The Cuban Five,
rather rough. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15311, 15168, 15111, 15083, 15054, 14997, 14968, Jan 25 at
1319, weak wobbly spurs detectable out of 15140.0 RHC at approx. 28-29
kHz intervals. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

At 1324 I find a similar spur further out, this one measured exactly
at 14882.472, that is minus 257.528 kHz, but that means the
separations would be 25.7528 kHz, less than about 28.6 otherwise
indicated; so maybe 14882+ is really unrelated to these.

I was also briefly distracted by some talk on 14980.0, but that`s
receiver overload from 7490 WWCR X 2, going away with Preamp 2 off
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13700, Jan 25 at 1422, this RHC is off but 13780 is on. 13700
is supposed to start at 1400. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Jan 25 at 0645, VON is back in presumed Hausa,
S9+10/20, despite yesterday`s ``new morning frequency`` of 9689.9 as
Ivo assumed. 7255- still on at 0704 check and no 9690 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 12035.7, Jan 25 at 1331, VOT English has just started but
JBA, only enough to tell it`s an off-frequency day. Already off at
1422 recheck to hear if it`s built up as the Sun levants itself (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5085, UT Fri Jan 25 at 0014, S9+20/30 of dead air from WTWW
-2, with the weak parasitic spurs about 5072.1 & 5097.9. FWIW, websked
claims:

``THE BOSS RADIO DREAM TEAM
THE GREATEST HITS OF ALL TIME - WITH TED RANDALL- MONDAY - WEDNESDAY 8
PM - 12 AM CENTRAL ON 5085
THE GREATEST HITS OF ALL TIME - WITH STEVE TAYLOR - THURSDAY 8 PM - 12
AM CENTRAL ON 5085
THE GREATEST HITS OF ALL TIME - WITH GRANT HUDSON FRIDAY 8 PM - 12 AM
CENTRAL ON 5085
THE GREATEST HITS OF ALL TIME - WITH JEFF LAURENCE - SATURDAY 8 PM -
12 AM CENTRAL ON 5085
THE GREATEST HITS OF ALL TIME - WITH BIG JIM EDWARDS - SUNDAY 8 PM -
12 AM CENTRAL ON 5085``

i.e. not starting until 0200 UT daily except Wed when there`s a ham
show; and for only four hours until 0600, but sporadically stays on
all night, or even all day, presumably automated beyond the ``dream
team` DJ hours (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1470, Jan 25 at 1349-1403 UT, I`m trying again to catch ``La
Nueva 14-70 AM`` with a more definite ID, suspected reactivated KAIR
Atchison KS, but no sign of it or any SS, mostly just KYYW Abilene TX
mixing with KSMM Liberal KS; KYYW with ABC News at hourtop.

Now I see a more likely one in the NRC AM Log: KWSL Sioux City IA, U1
2500/69 watts, SS:NOS format as ``La Nueva Preciosa 14-70``:
https://lapreciosa987.iheart.com/
Nostalgic means going as far back as the `80s.

And audio supposed to play thus:
https://www.iheart.com/live/la-preciosa-987-fm-y-1470-4539/?pname=kwsl-am&campid=play_bar&cid=index.html
to check for the slogan as I heard it, but includes an adstring in
English after 1700 UT Jan 25, then a silly Mexican gabfest, ``Alex "El
Genio" Lucas Show`` with no local IDs;
http://www.alexelgeniolucas.com/
unclear whence it originate, but unseems local. Shows an 831-AC phone,
which is around Salinas-Monterey CA.

I keep trying to listen to the intermittent stream, and barely catch
an ID at 1802 UT as ``La Preciosa - KWSL`` not `La Nueva`` and K254DL,
as their otherwise top-billed FM 98.7 is of course really nothing but
a mere 250-watt translator. Anyhow make my previous non-precious log
tentatively KWSL (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1520, Jan 25 at 1340 UT, KYND Cypress TX is *again/still*
running that loop barker looking for clients rather than axual
programming. It`s audible under KOKC, and occasionally topping my
semi-local, as they are almost collinear so can`t null one to get the
other. mentions how great their 25 kW coverage is of the sixth radio
market (Houston), with phone (281) 373-1520.

This is close to sunrise here, 1338 UT. KOKC ought to have no problem
blotting this out, but has refused to restore its full potential of 50
kW ND.

It seems I caught KYND on its first day back, per Mediafrog+ at
https://www.radiodiscussions.com/showthread.php?714184-What-s-going-on-with-KYND-(Part-Two)

First post from ``12-17-2018, 09:36 AM #1: What's going on with KYND?
(Part Two) --- When checking KYND 1520 a number of times the past week
or so, all I'm hearing is dead air. Not only do the owners have no
clients to pay the bills, it would appear they are also content to set
money on fire by transmitting 25,000 watts of nothing. What on earth
is going on?``

And from ``Today, 12:01 AM #2: And an update: After six weeks of
either being off the air or transmitting nothing but dead air, KYND
was back this morning with its audio loop soliciting potential
clients. Been almost 17 months without a paying customer for the
station`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, Jan 25, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12000, Jan 24 at 2244, the open carrier again, S4-S7;
and Jan 25 at 1334, S9+10 with some deep fades to S4. Another
possibility is some RTTY station which leaves its transmitter on all
the time but only rarely sends something in that mode (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report dispatched at 1821 UT January 25

** CHINA. Mauno Ritola, Finland, replies Jan 24 to my 5970 log:

``CNR1 heard with echo over Gannan PBS, at least two carriers.
Probably started at 1200. Sounds like there is also noise jammer via
Delhi receiver. This sounds like a normal jamming procedure, but for
what? Is it possible that they think Gannan Tibetan is from RFA or is
there something else? Ron Howard? 73, Mauno`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, Jan 24 at 0130, RHC continues with English during this
hour, S9+10 but just barely modulated while // 6165 is S9+20 and
sufficient. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15311 & 14968, Jan 24 at 1440, these are the only JBA spurs
from 15140 I can detect today; and still none on 13 MHz band.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [non]. 7295, Jan 24 at 1432, music and YL Japanese talk
with 3 Hz SAH from a second much weaker station. Aoki and EiBi agree
that sibling stations Shiokaze (Sea-Breeze) and Furusato no Kaze now
overlap for 5 minutes on 7295: 1405-1435 Shiokaze from Ibaragi/Yamata
JAPAN site, and 1430-1500 Furusato no Kaze via Paochung, Taiwan.

In fact, altho not made clear in either listing, as Ivo Ivanov
reports, the 1405-1435 broadcast of Shiokaze is axually a relay of
Furusato no Kaze --- so it`s in effect FnK vs FnK, in fact could be
the very same program 25 minutes apart. The first one goes off at
1435* eliminating the SAH and uncovering the much weaker S8 and
undermodulated Taiwan one, tho supposedly 300 kW from both, but at
quite different azimuths vis-Ã-vis us. Shiokaze et al. have a pitiful
record for incompetent frequency management, like jumping onto a
frequency already occupied by China, currently 7345 for the 13-14
broadcast (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Jan 24 at 0702, no signal again from VON, tho it
was on yesterday in presumed Fulfulde (if it`s African but not Hausa,
only other one they employ, despite several major Nigerian languages).
French is supposed to be aired at 0700-0730, then Fulfulde, but Ivo
Ivanov reported that on Jan 23 the entire hour was Fulfulde; while
today Jan 24 they were on ``new morning frequency`` 9689.9 instead,
again in Fulfulde at 0700-0750*. Which I did not check but not likely
to propagate as well hereward. Rather I will assume VON are indecisive
about which language to air on which frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** SINGAPORE. 7465, Jan 24 at 1524, S9+10 fading to S7 of almost dead
air, trace of modulation. Only thing sked is BBC Pashto this hour via
Kranji. At first thought it might be a closer carrier like Radio
MartÃ, atop a weak one, but not //11930 and 7465 is not on current RM
roster anywhen. (BTW, Aoki still lists YHWH on 7465 at 0000-0700 altho
not heard for several months) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9455, Jan 24 at 0138, TOMBS at S3-S7, as UT
Thursday is the sole day WRMI upfires this frequency for Hal Turner at
02-04, bookending with BS in each hour before and after (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1966 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday January
23 at 2100 on WRMI 9955, S9-S7 and about 6 words behind on WBCQ
7490.07v drifting downwards, also modulation somewhat distorted, but
S9+20/10, stronger than WRMI which is not distorted playing back
exactly the same file.

Also confirmed UT Thu Jan 24 at 0128, just in time as the new 0100 on
WRMI 7780 ends, poor S7-S5 but presumably better further east. Next:

** U S A. 5950, Jan 23 at 2054, this WRMI is propagating well enough
to tell it`s Supreme Master TV, ID in passing. Here is the report
about RFI, Jan 20, I was trying to find, about SMTV schedule changes:

``0000-0100 5950 YFR 100 kW / 285 deg English new, instead of Oldies
0500-0600 5950 YFR 100 kW / 285 deg Supreme Master TV is cancelled
2000-2100 5950 YFR 100 kW / 285 deg English new, instead WRN - RFI
ÐÑÐÐÐÐÑÐÐÐÐ ÐÑ Observer Ð 12:45 PM``

15770 is already off, so 20-21 on 5950 fills the gap between 15770 and
4980. The thing is, in English you cannot leave out the word ``of`` as
in ``instead of`` --- if you do, it can mean just the reverse!

I don`t recall RFI ever being on 5950 at 20-21, and if so it may not
have been in English --- here referring to the SMTV language, which
really must be mixed with a bunch of others. RFI English *was* for a
brief while in the 00-01 hour, but not just prior to the latest shift
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7259.988, Jan 24 at 1527, JBA carrier slightly offset,
vs LSB QRhaMs. I don`t have any other carrier nearby. Others have been
trying to unravel Mongolian Radio 3 (per Mauno Ritola, not 2), from
PBS Xinjiang on slightly different frequencies, but at this hour X
should be off. Aoki/NDXC has Mongolia until 1600, while EiBi says
irregular until 1500. But there is another possibility on 7260 at 15-
16 M-F: Channel Africa in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report dispatched at 1833 UT January 24

** CHINA. 5970, Jan 23 at 1342 in absence of WEWN Spanish, two Chinese
mixing; echo jammer? At this hour EiBi and Aoki have only PBS Gannan:
EiBi says 1020-1410 in Tibetan via he site; Aoki says 1020-1230
Tibetan, 1230-1410 Chinese; but also 1300-1400 CNR11 in Tibetan, all
from Hezuo site. That would certainly account for the self-defeating
double audio. WRTH slick map page 55 shows Hezuo is in north central
China between Xining and Baoji (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 7255.0, Jan 23 at 1354 romantic song at S9 vs QRhaM;
certainly not Nigeria on this frequency at this hour, and Nigeria
unknown to HFCC which shows three other possibilities: CNR Tibet at
1000-1805; CRI Russian via SZG site at 13-14; and MBR Nauen algo at
12-16. EiBi and Aoki unlist imaginary wooden MBR entry, and I`ll go
with CRI which is at 37 degrees also USward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTEING DIGEST)

** CHINA [non]. 15700, Jan 23 at 1426, China Plus via CUBA is big
S9+30 as usual, a bit suptorted but loud enough, with a slight whine.
On BFO the tone is much louder with multiple peaks and other artifacts
over 15690-15710. What a messy signal. Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15140.0, Jan 23 at 1510, RHC is S9+20/30 and music as usual
distorted, but I have to struggle to detect the spur panoply, JBA
blobs mostly around the usual spots: 15398, 15311, 15283, 15198,
15168, 15112, 15083, 15055, 14997, 14968, 14882, 14854. Something`s
always wrong at RHC. see also CHINA [non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Jan 23 at 0707, VON is back on in African language
at S9+10/20 after AWOL at least the past two mornings. Wolfgang
Bueschel measured it on 7254.939 today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 12035.7, Jan 23 at 1357, VOT in English, off-frequency
today, poor copy and soon mostly music occupying as usual last half of
the broadcasts. Stronger Turkish on 11815.0 is talking, with accurate
timesignal at 1400:00; and no sign of NHK CCI which should overlap
until 1500, and often does, especially noticeable when they are ~700
Hz apart (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. ``Odd time`` omitted in my last report; repaired:

5950 // much stronger VG 9395, Jan 21 at 0646, WRMI with VOA News
starting always at odd times; first item goes right into an AP Radio
report. There is certainly nothing wrong with AP, but shouldn`t VOA be
able to call on its own worldwide correspondents? Evidently a step
toward ``privatizing`` it. Also another VOA news airing was
immediately followed by a spot commercial (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17775, Jan 22 at 2102, KVOH ID in English, gospel music in
Spanish to dead air, so signing off? No, still there at 2136 with
gospel rock. New program grid updated 21 Jan at
http://www.voiceofhope.com/schedule/kvoh_program_grid.pdf
now shows Spanish at 15-22 M-F, English at 16-21 Saturdays; and never
on Sundays. By late afternoon has built up to decent signal, while
from *1500 it`s usually a JBA carrier; however Jan 23 it`s fair by
1530 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5970, Jan 23 at 1342, WEWN Spanish still gone, and not on
12050 either; nominal transition time is 1400. Audiblizes CHINA q.v.
on 5970. 12050 is up sometime after 1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6185, Jan 23 at 0710, sounds like bagpipe music, S7 and
undermodulated, typical of Radio EducaciÃn signal quality earlier.
Suspect XEPPM running overtime, as per Aoki/NDXC nothing is known on
6185 between 0600 and China Huayi from *0915. EiBi agrees except shows
a more realistic closing for XEPPM at 0640 as we had heard it until
0638*. Bagpipes also fits for their eclectic music format (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7555-LSB, Jan 23 at 1350, weak 2-way in Spanish, not
really intruding since this is a fixed, not broadcast band.

7555 was the final frequency of KJES Vado NM. Jon Gorski of Vinton,
Iowa bought the facility, was planning to revive it and even invited
me to participate with programming. But he has had health issues, and
I have not been able to contact him over the past year.

Now I see that the KJES entry has been removed from WRTH 2019. In 2018
issue it was between FTIOM and VORW, now replaced by Shortwave
Radiogram which is another program, not a station. 2018 explained:

``In 2016, the Shellsburg Community Broadcasting Association bought
the former shortwave station KJES from Our Lady`s Youth Center, Inc -
the KJES license had expired in 2015. The new owner is planning to
resume SW transmissions, but has still to receive the FCC permit``

I also notice in WRTH 2019 that the long-planned SW station KIMF in
Nevada has been removed. For a sesquidecade, it has kept registering
imaginary schedules, including HFCC B-18 on 6065, 9300, 13570; and
occasionally some FCC activity concerning it has appeared; out of
commission now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. 10051-USB, Jan 23 at 1447, 2-way in Asian
language, sounds Indonesian, spirited conversations, rather like the
11.4-11.5 pirates, but not very melodic now. Someones might as well
occupy this frequency, since New York Radio VOLMET self-destructed,
abandoning the hourparts reserved for it, :00-:20 & :30-:50.

But this will be bad for Gander Radio still active the rest of the
hours! Sure enough, Gander comes back at 1450 and gets QRM from this
crap, altho Gander is atop. Recheck at 1508, the 2-way is still going.
I`ve wondered why Gander doesn`t take over the whole hours (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11479v, Jan 23 at 1402, 1509, 1515, 1553 chex, no signal
from the station heard yesterday past 1600, connected with Denge
Welat? While their proper 11530 is very poorly audible (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
