Glenn Hauser logs May 21-22, 2019

Wednesday, May 22 2019

** ASCENSION. 7415, May 22 at 0614, JBA talk; HFCC shows it`s ENC in
Kau this hour only, but what is it, really? Aoki/NDXC shows R.
Ndarason International in Kan. WRTH 2019 page 511 shows Kanuri and
also Kanembu language as the only target broadcast for CHAD (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 15140, May 21 at 1432, RHC missing again today
while still on 15230 but VP. And no OMAN either. Need to check before
1400* to try to confirm whether it`s 2 x 7570 SMTV on WRMI. Which I
do, May 22 at 1355, but RHC is back on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11880, May 21 at 1437, CRI Plus English relay is distorted
and overmodulated. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6060 & 6000 & 5040, May 22 at 0610, all these RHC English
frequencies are off, while only 5040 is supposed to be; leaving only
6165, S9/+10 undermodulated; and 6100 S9+20/30
overmodulated/distorted. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [non]. 5980, May 22 at 0158, TV Martí sound vs jamming, and
ROMANIA [q.v.] has just closed; not // 6030 Radio Martí, and nothing
on 6010, contrary to a report 23.5 hours earlier to the WOR iog:

``Noted here in NB this evening (21 May UT) at 0230 UT:
5980 kHz - TV Martí audio
6010 kHz - TV Martí audio
7335 kHz - Radio Martí
7365 kHz - Radio Martí
(nothing on 6030 kHz) -- Richard Langley``

He agrees back to normal tonight; but a sign of things to come? TVM
and jamming on 6010 will wipe out any chance for Brasil, or inactive
Colombia, Mexico, let alone the Cuban leapfrog before 0100 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 15410, May 22 at 1430, S9-S5 in Chinese and a bit
of English. Aoki/NDXC shows it`s CRI Chinese this hour only from
Kashi-Saiba site, a.k.a. Kashgar (near the Uighur concentration
camps. Such does not disqualify from participating in HFCC!)
Specifically 500 kW at 300 degrees toward Europe, one of countless
transmissions thus, and often carrying on to central N America when
little else does; likewise routine CRI English on 15590 via Urumqi
(NOT ``Urumqui``) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KUWAIT. 17549.98, May 21 at 2119, JBA talk, the OSOB after KVOH
closed VG 17775 circa 2100. Got to be R. Kuwait`s very optimistic
central/western-USA target service in Arabic, scheduled all year at
2000-2400, 250 kW at 350 degrees, but just starting to propagate now
a month from Solstice with maximum, but only partial insolation on
the near-polar path. Note local time at takeoff ranges from 23 to 03;
who else would ever consider broadcasting on 16m at such hours, let
alone to the other worldside? I had just checked WWV at 2118 to hear
the K index as zero, which helped (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, May 22 at 0612, no signal from VON; believe it has
also been absent a few nights now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 27185.217-AM, May 21 at 2317, country ballads, lo-fi,
speaker-to-mike? Steady S9+10 and the OSOB with no skip, local Enid
CBer, would-be broadcaster (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA [and non]. 7420, May 22 at 0156*, RRI cutoff shortly after
tunein a bit early during music, as I am checking // to 5980 with JBA
music mixed with Cuban jamming and TV Martí sound; but it had been
producing a medium SAH which is gone as soon as I get back to 5980
whence RRI has also vanished (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, Tue May 21 at 2055, WRMI is on with IS & ID loop, but
2116 recheck is OFF. #10 transmitter continues suffering from
irregularity. Let`s hope it`s on and stays on for WORLD OF RADIO 24
hours later on Wednesday. If not, check whether WBCQ 7490+ again run
WOR at 2130 instead of 2100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5890, Wed May 22 at 0604, WWCR continues to run this
transmitter with nothing on it, OC/DA at S9+20; while 5935 DGS is
fadier, S9+10/20. Both 4840 & 3215 are now BSing (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9200, May 21 at 0608, mystery open carrier still, S1-
S3. No one else reports it, and might suspect local to here but it
does exhibit propagational fading and lots of variation in strength
from one log to the next. Who cares? The thing is, it might develop
into something significant or interesting if we keep after it.

9200, May 21 at 1438, JBA carrier at S6-S3 also audible this time.
Now could be CNR1 jammer/Sound of Hope, which Aoki spans 2151-1530,
but propagationally surely not what I am getting in the nightmiddle
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs May 19-20-21, 2019

Tuesday, May 21 2019

** ALGERIA [non]. 9620, May 20 at 0612, Qur`an VP S3-S4, as indeed TDA
is scheduled this hour only, 500 kW, 194 degrees from Issoudun, FRANCE
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, May 20 at 0043, RHC music presumed English hour altho
// 6165 is off. Something`s always wrong at RHC. This serves another
purpose, fulcrum for 5990 CRI relay leapfrogging over to produce 6010
intermodulaton mixing product (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [non non]. 9490, May 20 at 0037, no Radio República and no
jamming, since not scheduled in DST season until 0100-0300 (Sat/Sun to
0400) per WRTH Update, probably meaning UT Sun/Mon. Jamming is often
heard later and surprised it`s not on earlier. RR is via RMI via
FRANCE, rather indirectly from Okeechobee (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6934.9, May 20 at 0019, rock music, S6-S7, probably
Captain Morgan Shortwave, heard a few nights ago on this same offset
frequency. Yes, others agree here:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,54158.0.html
Gone at my next check 0053; they say he went off at 0042 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1640, May 20 at 0050 UT, KZLS Enid is S9+40 of dead air;
recheck shortly after 0100, had resumed with talkshow, presumably far
-right. See also Tornado report (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 89.3, May 20 at 0108 check, KIEL Loyal is back on air
with gospel music and has been for a few days, altho missing at last
log May 8-9-10 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. During the long-predicted tornado outbreak Monday
afternoon May 20, quick survey 2020-2040 UT, of which radio stations
are plugged into which OKC TV stations in continuous storm coverage,
at least until prime time:

KFOR ``4`` earlier mentioned only 96.1 & 101.9, but also found on
88.5, 89.7, 94.7, 102.7, 1000, 1340

KOCO ``5``: heard on 91.7 KOSU; but at 2138 KOCO crawler lists only
all the KGOU network frequencies; at 2148 KOCO also found on 1640
KZLS. One wonders how much of this be ad-hoc, perhaps TV stations not
even aware of all their repeaters.

KWTV ``9``: 107.7, 960, 1520; 107.1 & 106.3 Enid: KWTV in and out

Own live local coverage: KOKP 1020 & KQSR 105.1 Perry/Stillwater

Notable by their absence from above are a number of other major FM
signals which blithely continued with normal music or talk
programming.

98.9 KYIS had audio of some TV but quit before I could match it, ``in
and out``

KOKH ``25`` Fox also in continuous weather but unfound on any radio.
It`s a poor fourth in the market, but managing to do some OBs now.

89.1 Family Radio translator in Enid dead air; doesn`t take much to
disrupt it.

NWS overrode everything(?) for tornado warning at 2035 UT, even those
stations providing more detailed continuous coverage. This also
applied to Altice/Suddenlink cable TV in Enid. During this, channel-
changing is disabled.

Also for the duration, my rooftop TV antennas are disconnected, but I
had picked up some new rabbit ears for $ 12 on the Radio Shack
closeout. Also with a swiveling UHF loop between the rods; strangely,
the ears still need to be extended for better UHF reception. At
ground level, the only OKC TV station I can get, cutting in and out,
is KWTV-25. At least makes for some more DTV pixillated art if I can
catch it with the camera.

Parts of Garfield County were under tornado warning at times, but
fortunately not our part --- yet. There has been plenty of lightning
and torrential rain; flooding in our area not a problem --- yet.
Storms are to continue until midday Tuesday.

Monday afternoon storms were north/NW of OKC, and in west/SW OK, not
yet OKC itself, which would get hit later in evening.

But only KWTV blew away CBS primetime (until 0200), putting that on
KSBI; KOCO at first referred ABC viewers to MeTV 5.2, something it
seldom does, but soon ABC was back on 5.1. KFOR put NBC News on KAUT
at 2230, but itself went to NBC at 0000 UT, of course with numerous
cut-ins (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA. 7420, UT Mon May 20 at 0027, Romanian folk music S9+25,
while // 5980, presumed still there under wall-of-noise Cuban jamming
against no TV Martí on weekends. Alan Roe`s ``Music on Shortwave``
schedule shows this hour contains ``Zi-le D-Alead-Ale Noastre (Folk
mx)``; ex-9790 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA. 9700, May 20 at 0611, RRI S7-S4 in German, becoming
audible and NZ is conveniently out of the way having cut back to one
hour before 0600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SCOTLAND [non]. 7490.2v, UT Mon May 20 from 0025 tune-in, S9-S8
WBCQ with `Encore` classical music from Radio Tumbril, another
enjoyable show hosted by Brice Avery. WBCQ switched to non-classical
fill music about 0057 before the final piece finished. 0100 WBCQ
business plug and standard sign-off --- but stayed on 0102-0105* with
more music, rock, which I suppose continued to fill the webcast (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U K. 7300, May 20 at 0031, English news headlines, BBCWS ID, 0032
into some featurre programme, S9-S7; is beamed 82 degrees from
Woofferton this hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1982 monitoring: confirmed Sunday May 19 at
2130 on WRMI 7780, JBA

Also confirmed, UT Monday May 20 at 0130 on WRMI 9395 following the
long-outdated YL `Son-power Radio on 5850, 7455, 9395`` ID; fair

Also confirmed UT Monday May 20 at 0230 on WRMI 7780, good S9+10/S9,
better than usual on this NE beam

Also confirmed UT Monday May 20 at 0301 on Area 51 webcast and on WBCQ
5130.39v, fair S9 at 0328 check

Also confirmed UT Monday May 20 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, S9+10/20 also
better than usual, and starting from the start, immediately after
``Puttin` on the Ritz` in Czech, fill music

Presumably the Monday May 20 at 1815 on IRRS 7290 via Romania
confirmed by this listener response at 1839 from Adrian Micallef:

``Hi Mr Hauser, I`m Adrian and I`m listening for the second time to
your very useful programme from the island of Malta, in the
Mediterranean Sea. Today 20-5-19 I`m using a Zenith Royal D700Y Trans
Oceanic and a Degen DE 1103, own antenna, SINFO 53553-54554. Greetings
from Malta and keep it up. I`m friend with Roberto Scaglione of
Obiettivo DX of AWR. Hope to hear from you, Adrian.``

Also confirmed UT Tuesday May 21 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, fair and not
upcut. Next:
0800 UT Tuesday Unique Radio 5045-USB NSW [2 editions] ND
2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 to SSE
2130 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v [ex-2100 on May 15] to WSW
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

[it appears we will now be running on a Friday-to-Thursday cycle, so
freshest new airings are on weekends]

Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts:
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7315, May 20 at 0028, ``World Harvest Radio, the
international voice of LeSEA Broadcasting`` in break between VOV relay
languages --- but, but, LeSEA no longer exists, renamed Family
Broadcasting Corporation last year! Someone needs to tell them about
it. 0029 momentary transmitter break and back on with stronger signal,
S9+20/10, bit of fill music, dead air and 0030+ VOV Spanish finally
starts. HFCC shows WHRI switch from 25 to 173 degrees at 0030; also
claims from 0130 it`s 260 degrees in Vietnamese, rather than English
as always heard (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VIETNAM [non]. See USA: WHRI

UNIDENTIFIED. 9200, May 20 at 0036, JBA carrier S7-S6, previously
heard 5-6 hours later and stronger (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

This report dispatched at 0223 UT May 21

Glenn Hauser logs May 18-19, 2019

Monday, May 20 2019

** CANADA. 15034-USB, May 19 at 1812, CHR, Trenton Military, with
aviation weather conditions as of 1800z for Halifax, soon Greenwood
and Gander special report as of 1808. First time in weeks heard with
any info other than ``no report received`` from any/everywhere. Still
interspersed with some NRRs (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** COLOMBIA. 2940+, May 19 at 0605, HJNT, Radio Huellas, Cali, as
previously IDed, carrier obviously there despite high storm noise
level here. I am surprised that there have been so few reports of this
second harmonic, in fact the only active Colombian (almost)-SW
station. Where are the DXers elsewhere in North America, let alone
Latin America? Maybe just as well, as attempts to QSL it might lead to
its demise (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9640, May 18 at 2208, RHC Spanish suptorted; wiggle that
patchcord! Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13739.240, May 19 at 1345, RHC auto-knocked off 13740.00 for
the second day in a row. Hope wolfie finally catch it too, having
found it non-knocked when he chex. Something`s always wrong at RHC.
But not always the same things all the time.

This is during `En Contacto` DX program, but it doesn`t finish at
1350! By then I am on 15230 hearing the RHC IS amid the show, and more
Arnie, until `En Cia del Dr` finally starts at 1357. Very unusual as
RHC Spanish programming is normally within one minute of nominal.
Something`s always wrong at RHC.

[and non]. 15140 should be // 15230, but at 1355 May 19 a JBA signal
on 15140 I cannot match with traces of modulation. Something`s always
wrong at RHC. Could Oman have resumed on 15140 from 9620, where there
is also a JBA carrier? Nothing else is known on 15140 ---

Except: could it be 2 x 7570 WRMI, which is aimed right at us with
Supreme Master TV?? Next time must try to mod-match that. Harmonix
from Okeechobee are extremely rare. WRMI`s other 7 MHz which could
multiply onto 19m would be: 15460 and 15560. The latter has happened
due to mistuning, but soon repaired.

By 1425 May 19, still no RHC on 15140, and 15230 is S9 but JBM.
Something`s always wrong at RHC. With so few extracontinental SW
signals propagating well, we are indeed fortunate that RHC provide
such a rich supply of abnormalities to capture! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** DENMARK. See USA: WTWW

** NETHERLANDS [non]. 9925, UT Sun May 19 at 0009, The Mighty Farty
KBC via GERMANY, rock music finally good signal a biweek after QSY
from 5960, but S9+10/20 still not enough to overcome nearby storm
noise level (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9830, May 18 at 2204, VOT English is on but VP vs RTTY CCI.
ANF on R75 helps. 2205 dead air for a minute at the same time RTTY
stops, S8-S5 and somewhat muffled modulation resuming at 2206 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1982 monitoring: confirmed Saturday May 18 at
2100 on WRMI 9955, S9-S7 following IS/ID loop, and upcut JIP missing

** U S A. WRMI: See CUBA [and non]. 15140

** U S A. 5085, May 18 at 2212, WTWW-2 with rock music, S9/S9+10 but
not enough vs storm noise level. Wonder how long this has been on; all
day?

15810-, May 19 at 1347, WTWW-3 active for the second morning in a row,
rock music, obviously minus but not remeasured to 15809.918 like
yesterday. S9 to S9+10, about the same as neighbor 15825 WWCR-1 both
getting a sporadic-E boost.

And as expected, no sign of WMR Denmark on 15805. Stig Hartvig Nielsen
says, ``World Music Radio on 15805 kHz is probably the station on 19 m
with the lowest power - and with the most simple aerial - so obviously
that makes it a DX catch. It is not a signal you can rely on for
regular listening - tuning in and then expecting a fine signal.

Most of the time, the signal will be absent or barely audible - in the
areas where the signal propagates into (Russia, Southern Europe,
Northern Scandinavia, Brazil, North America - and even once in
Thailand). I had imagined that that would have created more interest
among DX'ers.

I have just purchased a new 3 element yagi for 15805 kHz, so hopefully
soon there will be some improvement in signal strength :-)``

15810-, WTWW-3 is still on with JBA carrier at 1815 May 19, and this
time I check 5085 in the daymiddle --- yes! It is also on with S7 of
country/rock music vs S6 noise level. I think there be a correlation
between these two activities of WTWW-3 and WTWW-2; meanwhile WTWW-1 is
nominal on 9475, not 5830, with SFAW, or rather as on website wtww.us
homepage, SFAWBN, which also displays a long-outdated Dave Ramsey on
9930 claim; plus contradictory times for TOITO. Searching the site for
15810 gets no hits (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
