Glenn Hauser logs January 4-5, 2019

Monday, January 06 2020

** ALBANIA [non]. 15770, Sat Jan 4 at 2039, not R. Tirana via WRMI as
expected but music and Pastor Ray, Light of the Word, referencing John
XVII: 37-38. Altho Tirana is 6 days a week, WRMI skedgrid does now
show it at 2030 M-F only with this bumper on Saturday. The Sat edition
should still go out at 0230 UT Sun on 9395 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ALGERIA. 891, Jan 5 at 0649, woman in Arabic; best heard yet, the
reactivated Ouled Fayet 600 kW transmitter of RA-1 near Algiers.
Wolfgang Bueschel thinx these superpowers are running about half to
save costs. Mostly separable from WLS by USB tuning (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CHINA [non]. 13685, Jan 5 at 1507, CRI English W&M chat, via MALI,
S3-S5 yet louder than // 15700 via CUBA, S9 but JBM. Something`s
always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Jan 5 at 0708, R. Rebelde is S9+40 but suptorted and
splattering out to plus/minus 15 kHz. Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Jan 5 at 1608, RHC in Esperanto, overmodulated, extra
frequency while 11760 original channel is AWOL. Did not hear what
imaginary frequencies may have been announced at outset (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, Jan 5 at 1512, two stations mixing with
flutter, long/short path echo. Evidently TURKET is again jamming Dengê
Welat via FRANCE (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MOROCCO. 595.9, Jan 5 at 0651, JBA carrier, way off-frequency from
594 as I bandscan. Exactly the same offset as in previous log; have
been alert for this since but not caught again until now:

``595.9, Oct 25 at 0608, JBA carrier. Before a bandscan, I check for
this first, as the low-power 50 kW Oujda transmitter of SNRT has been
reported by Chris McWhinnie and Alan Pennington of the British DX
Club, further off-frequency than usual 595 instead of 594, and there
it is! Wolfgang Bueschel precisioned it at 595.896`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 4080-USB, Jan 5 at 0129, Texas Radio Shortwave found
here, already music at tune-in for publicized 0130 broadcast.

My reception report to pirate Texas Radio Shortwave:

``Dear TSWR: Thanks for the invitation. I did catch your broadcast
tonight, and here is my report for QSL. This is before I have read
what anyone else may have said about it on HF Underground.

Receiver: R75
Antenna: longwire 100 feet east-west, probably not ideal if you are
south of me
Date: UT January 5
Steady S9 on generous meter with preamps, very little fading, but not
enough to overcome noise level making copy difficult. SINPO: 35343
I can seldom make out details of announcements.
Enjoyed the music, some of it familiar to me, but I can`t identify
much of it by title, and I do not use apps to do that

0129, found signal on 4080-USB and tune in, already music.
0130, sound effects and announcements
0131, Texas Radio Shortwave ID; country/bluegrass song
0136:20, segue to another tune
0138:35, segue to another at first instrumental, then vocal.
``Black
day in July`` sounded like a refrain, maybe title, over and
over there may be more segues so smooth I do not note them
0151, segue, country tune
0155, another segue
0158, brief announcements
0201, longer announcement, ``free radio`` promo with reverb
0202, ad for ``radio communications magazine``; familiar blues tune
0215, unreadable announcement
0230, ID and ``In the Mood``, familiar
0248, still on
0256, ID and contact info by M & F voices,
nothing further, apparently over and off

Thanks for the show. Hope the report is of use to you and let us know
about future broadcasts, hopefully with better reception. 73, Glenn
Hauser``

Reply a few hours later:

Ahoy Matey Glenn - Your report washed up on shore here at South Padre
Island. Quartermaster compared it to ship's log and told Third Mate to
send you this verification.

Crew was excited to know you wrote in. Second Mate's the only crew
member who can read, so he read what crew said we[re] the most
complete reception report they'd ever heard. And crew's been around
since the old, old days of pirate radio.

Best wishes from Cap'n. Always be yourself. Unless you can be a
pirate. Then always be a pirate. 73 and Arrgghh.

Texas Radio Shortwave

Sailing to your ears from the Lone Star State``

It`s an Alamo QSL --- and shows my location as Altus, Oklahoma; not
sure where he got that, but maxe it even more unique. [attached]

Many more logs here:

(Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6934.9-AM, Jan 5 at 0134, VP signal from unID
pirate, maybe Captain Morgan SW, as heard Dec 21 on this off-frequency
and IDed by others. Other unID logs as 6935 today at 0118:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,62054.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, KUCO Edmond/OKC, has had a lot of disruptions last
few days. Jan 5 at 1455 UT, dead air; resumed by 1523. Because they
are moving into brand-new studios in downtown OKC, distancing
themselves from the UCO campus in Edmond. On Jan 2, were plugged into
WCPE feed all day(?) instead of overnight only, such that could not
insert StarDate at 1558 UT or 0058 UT. Other things I wanted to hear
unavailable, such as Performance Oklahoma Sat at 14-16 UT, and Weekend
Radio UT Sun at 04-05. However, they did get Metropolitan Opera on at
1700 Sat with Der Rosenkavalier, but that could have been via WCPE
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SAO TOME E PRINCIPE. 13750, Sat Jan 4 at 2027, S9 open carrier,
2028 YDD VOA sign-on, 2030 into music and French DJ without
introducing the program or language. At first I wondered if there had
been a punch-up error confusing the digits of 17530 or 15730 at
Grimesland --- but 13750 is axually scheduled from Pinheira at
2030-2100 Sat & Sun only, for some reason breaking in the middle of
French which has just cut off 15730 daily (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 1521, Jan 4 at 2228, JBA carrier hetting KOKC OKC,
presumed 2 megawatt Duba, and disappears sometime between 2230 and
2231 as usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SCOTLAND [non]. 9350, Jan 4 at 2105-2200, `Encore` via WWCR,
excellent this week with no cross-talk detected (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 774, Jan 5 at 0650, usual two carriers beating, 0653 Spanish
talk from RNE1 synchros, headed by 100 kW València and seven others
down to 10 kW. Does anyone know which be off-frequency? MWOffsets
shows Valencia only 0.2 Hz low and no others more than 3 Hz minus.
Iran and Egypt both have high-power 774s considerably
off-frequency+plus, but would not expect them to be involved this late
into their daytimes. Only other Europeans are very low powers in Italy
and UK.

774 is the #1 audible TA frequency here; just as it is the #1 audible
TP frequency later from Japan. Someone pointed out that around 0700 UT
both of these could propagate midwinter to N America; not tonight when
I also checked from the NW. Nor was there much from NHK an hour before
sunrise (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 12030, 11940, 11685, Jan 5 at 1515, REE in descending order
of audibility during stupid ballgame, and also a JBA carrier on 9690,
the North American frequency which could be REE not really propagating
yet? Or CRI Bengali. 1605 recheck, now an S8-S5 signal on 9690 but in
Japanese! See TAIWAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TAIWAN. 9690, Jan 5 at 1605, still looking for SPAIN q.v. to North
America; instead, talk in Japanese. HFCC shows an Encompass-brokered
broadcast, 300 kW, 2 degrees from Taiwan; but what is it, really?
NDXC/Aoki has the answer: Furusato no Kaze, clandestine about North
Korean abduxions. Fortunately it`s only at 1600-1630, so Spain can
still be clear afterwards if it ever resume (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 359 kHz, Jan 4 at 0714 UT, ND beacon SDR, 25 watts from
Snyder TX, which is just NW of Sweetwater on the way to Lubbock (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2015 monitoring: Ivo Ivanov,
Bulgaria reports: ``Reception of World of Radio#2015 via WRMI tx#09,
January 4: 1300-1330 on 15770 RMI 100 kW / 044 deg to WeEu English
Sat, good``

Confirmed here UT Sun Jan 5 at 0440, S9+30 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, about
19 minutes into so started circa 0421. Next:
2130 UT Sunday WRMI 7780

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

** U S A. 5085, Jan 5 at *0105, WTWW-2 cuts on air as I have been
waiting for it, amid rock music, rather distorted but clears up a bit
after a while. 0132 Ted with ham ads; by 0135, Bob Heil`s theater
organ program has started and by 0204 recheck still has not finished.
But I am mainly monitoring Texas Radio SW during the same semihour
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9475, Jan 5 at 1505, SFAW WTWW-1 is unusually on but weaker
than should be, S9-S4, PPPP about John The Baptist; may be more likely
on during Sunday morning church-a-goin` time but not every week. Off
already at 1936 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 12050, Jan 5 at 1514, now the day frequency of WEWN Spanish
is dead air, S9-S6. Something`s always wrong at Vandiver? Recheck at
1940, now some weak modulation, can`t be sure if it be Spanish rather
than Ndarason via Ascension, but there is some hum à la ASC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Recalcitrant affiliates play old, older WRs

Message sent to Robert Conrad of Weekend Radio at WCLV:

``Robert, What a mess just trying to hear Weekend Radio tonight ---
Jan 4. KUCO is plugged into WCPE as they are temporarily unable to run
normal schedule as they are just moving into their new studios in
downtown OKC.

Two other stations are known to webcast WR at the same time: 11 pm
Eastern: WXXI Rochester is playing #205 from last week, which we have
already heard. KTOO Juneau is playing #203 from mid-December! which we
have already heard. I confirmed this by checking the content of your
rundowns.

WCLV I think did really play the new #206 an hour earlier. I would
have normally listened then but there was another scheduling conflict
so I depended on WXXI or KTOO to play it an hour later. That`ll teach
me!!!

Could you prevail upon those affiliates to run the current program on
the current Weekend??!!

Now next weekend (or two or three?) we`ll have to fish around for 206
as well as 207 somewhere. Or maybe WUOT will be on the ball this
Sunday afternoon? {Yes! at 18 UT, first of two all-request shows.}

It would also be nice if one could just click on a podcast of whatever
episode may have been missed for whatever reason. Regards,
Glenn Hauser, Enid`` No reply yet; he may be on vacation (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 693, Jan 5 at 0659, two JBA carriers beating. Major
station is BBC Radio 5 Live, with multiple synchros; a few in Algeria
and Spain no more than 20 kW. MWOffsets shows the Spaniards are more
spread out than the Brits almost all spot-on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 17495, Jan 5 at 1611, JBA carrier which would be the
OSOB if this were inband except for 17830 JBAC Ascension. Nothing
listed on 17495 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** AUSTRALIA. Re: [WOR] Australian Bushfires, Unique Radio

Hi Glenn, Thank you for your concern. Myself and my family are safe at
present as the fires are not very close to where we are on the
southern outskirts of Sydney. However, as we live in what is called
the “ember zone”, close to a national park, we are being vigilant and
have been since before Christmas. Concerns are for those affected by
the catastrophic conditions that are due today (Saturday 4 Jan) in
parts of NSW and Victoria and numerous other fires affecting others
elsewhere. 41 degrees Celsius (106 degrees Fahrenheit) expected here
today, with high speed winds due this evening.

Judging by the NSW Rural Fire Service website, Unique Radio is not
located close to fires at present. -- Regards, (BRIAN POWELL VK2FBAJ,
Sydney, Australia, WOR iog)

** CHINA. 12360, Jan 4 at 0253, surprise bigsig S9+20 in Chinese.
Really stands out as only signal above 11856.4 Brasil, and on 25mb
nothing but two Brazilians and Cuba. Pays to perform full
way-out-of-band scans. I`ve checked thoroly all the way from 10 to 15
MHz, and nothing but this. Is on the Aoki/NDXC list as a jammed Sound
of Hope frequency, presumably with CNR1. Already off at 0257 recheck.
Wish we could know what transmitter site achieve this (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA. 2940+, Jan 4 at 0232, no trace of HJNT, Radio Huellas,
Cali, whose off-frequency second harmonic used to be obvious. I`ve
been alert for it on frequent bandscans. They must have fixed it or be
off the air from 1470 too. Last reported 30 Aug 2019 by Brett Saylor,
PA on 2940.11. Per WRTH 2020, website is radiohuellascali.com and that
linx to sked:
https://www.sistemahuellasinternacional.com/show-schedule/
but it`s rather strange, partly in English and Latin! I think they
have not fleshed it out completely; WRTH says 1100-0500 UT, but they
have shows starting at midnight = 0500, can`t tell if run all night or
not. Had been Colombia`s only [almost] SW station.

Say, what about that new ``ethnic`` evangelical SW, supposed to start
up last month/year in eastern Colombia? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Jan 4 at 0235, Radio Rebelde is suptorted, maybe in
silly baseball game? I think there is crowd noise. Something`s always
wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 7330, Jan 4 at 0245, W&M in Chinese, reading S9 but
weak with flutter. Not a time I would expect to hear China, but
probably from the west arriving from the east rather than vice versa,
or close to polar where it`s mostly darky. Yes: Aoki/NDXC shows this
hour is CRI via Kashgar, land of Uighur brainwashing by the ChiCom.
Cuts off at 0300 after two pips of a timesignal (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950-AM, Jan 4 at 0238, S9 signal but JBM with music
and not // 1390 KCRC ESPN X 5. Also noted an hour earlier with even
less signal, only sign of a pirate. Other logs as unID:

Off by recheck 0302 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. Texas Radio Shortwave tells me: ``TRSW will
broadcast volume 1 of Cap'n's favorite rock songs from the '60s and
'70s sometime around 0130 UTC on Sunday, January 5. (That's Saturday
night in Oklahoma.) The frequency will be in the range 4060 to 4085
kHz if propagation is good and 6875 to 6970 if it isn't.`` and invites
me to try again with a detailed report for their coveted QSL (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2015 monitoring: confirmed Friday
January 3 at 2300 on WRMI 9955, vs wall-of-noise jamming by Cuba,
which does not abate by 2308; partially readable depending on fades.

Also confirmed UT Sat Jan 4 at 0130 on WRMIs 5010 S9+10/20 good with
no QRM or het yet from Madagascar, synchro with super-strong 5850; and
on 7780 slightly out of synch from different playout, S9+10. 7780 had
been carrying NY edition of Wavescan, fill with ME music, and Ian ID;
5850 & 5010 had Spanish robobibling interrupted for BB ID. Next:

** U S A. 7490.177, Jan 4 at 0051, I find WBCQ jumped?drifted? further
off-frequency than usual during usual gospel huxter; and 5130 is off
the air. 0100 starts `Allan Weiner Worldwide` but shortly becomes
evident it`s a rerun, as he is talking about the Ampegon antenna under
construxion, apparently from early August; so I bail out. And at 0114,
John Carver says,

``Glenn, No signal on 5130 this evening and 7490 is in and out and not
a great signal. It appears that tonight's show is a repeat from back
when the superstation was being built as he's talking about assembling
the crane to build the antenna and that it's the ten-month anniversary
of his meeting Angela. John``

5130, at 0236 Jan 4 now this WBCQ is on, S9/+10 and playing AWWW, the
same or another repeat? If live it would have been at 0100 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5970, Jan 4 at 0055, WEWN is S9-S8 of dead air in Spanish;
latest problem with this transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1020, Jan 4 at 0339 UT, nulling KOKP I hear Jim Bohannon;
which 1020 is he on? Station finder at
http://www.jimbohannonshow.com/station-finder/
leads off with KVNT Anchorage AK, but not starting until 7 pm = 04 UT;
and only one other, far more likely here, KDKA Pittsburgh PA, from 10
pm = 03 UT. He has quite a roster, but still not a single station in
OK (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
