[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs May 8 & 10, 2015
** AUSTRALIA. 12085 // 9580, Friday May 8 at 1305-1355+, RA with `Keys to Music` I meant to laud in previous report, this week about Mozart`s last year; excellent commentary and music excerpts. 9580 as usual stronger but with more selective fading, so I preferred 12085 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. CNR1 jammers morning of May 10:
12950, May 10 at 1255, CNR1 jammer, very poor
13980, May 10 at 1255, CNR1 jammer, very poor
13920, May 10 at 1255, CNR1 jammer, very poor
14920, May 10 at 1256, CNR1 jammer, good with flutter
16100, May 10 at 1257, CNR1 jammer, fair
18930, May 10 at 1258, CNR1 jammer, JBA, but checks out as the Sunday only 12-13 jumparound frequency of RFA Tibetan via Kuwait
Already at 1304 May 10, I am hearing the Sunday-evening serious music show, sounds like Peking Opera, from CNR1 on 9810, 9660, fair with flutter; 9680 under Taiwan CCI; 9500 very poor with flutter, CCI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 9689.9, May 10 at 0557, hilife music and drumming prélude as V. of Nigeria is on here again; stronger than // 7254.9, also off-frequency to low side but somewhat less off than 9690-. Compared to 7250 for Vatican Radio, that`s JBA if still on. 0600 both sign-on in Hausa; 9690- is a bit distorted, and now 7255 has a fast SAH with slight echo, leading me to suspect the *two* VON transmitter sites are BOTH on 7255v now! I.e. three transmitters total again, while nothing is audible on 15120. As usual I shortly doze off but reawaken briefly at 0643 to find that 7255- is off, but 9690- is still on with music.
Others monitored more of this May 10: Thorsten Hallmann, Germany, tells us, ``VON was Hausa before until IS at 0628, then music only, then off, and at 0725, 7254.9 is already on again warming up for again Hausa at 0730, which will be probably replaced at 0800 by 9689.9 for another Hausa segment. A naturally grown schedule ;-)``
Wolfgang Büschel, Germany, reports: ``7254.922 Ikorodu and 9689.918 Abuja - presumably outlet centers - were the two footprints of Voice of Nigeria's morning "West African sing-sang program", performed by woman at about 0650 UT on May 10th, Voice of Nigeria Abuja on S=8 or -82 dBm signal strength, noted on all North American remote SDR units checked, at best in Florida and Michigan, but also more than fair in Massachusetts, Rochester NY, Calgary-Winnipeg, and Edmonton Alberta, weak and tiny signal in the far west at Vancouver island.
``7255v signal was a little bit of 'wobbly' kind, but 9690v had fine clear audio, no whine, no whistle tone at all. 7254.922 signed-off at 0657 UT, and 9689.918 kHz followed s-off by 0703 UT. Nothing of any broadcast noted on 15120 kHz in this half hour. wb`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1120, Sunday May 10 at 1610 UT, definite carrier from the direxion of Sperry, i.e. KEOR/KETU on the air again, but hardly any modulation (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PUNTLAND. 13800, May 10 at 1255 or so, JBA carrier so presumed R. Puntland One is on today. Other reports:
Mick Delmage, Sherwood Park, AB, using: Rx Collins HF 2050, Ant KLM 7-30 MHz Log periodic at 220 degrees, tells me: ``Puntland Radio 13800 kHz 1245 UT in best via long path with songs, multi language ID at 1248:30. Poor but building. May 10, 2015``; and later, ``Looks as though Puntland Radio went off at 1336 mid or just after Qur`an that has been on for some time now ([since] 1250 UT). So as someone reported last week, perhaps off early on Sundays. They were coming in very nicely in USB until then``.
Another report, to the DXLD yg: ``Harold Sellers, Vernon, British Columbia, listening in my car, by the lake and using the Eton E1 and Sony AN1 active antenna: 13800, SOMALIA Radio Puntland, tentative, at 1256 with Koranic singing through top of the hour, same at periodic checks, getting weaker by 1325, either faded out or went off the air sometime between 1330 and 1400 - Poor, May 10`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN [and non]. 11645, May 10 at 0547, poor-fair Arabic here, not Greek! That`s because R. Dabanga via VATICAN has shifted down from 11650, and apparently leaving the barely audible carrier/tone jammer behind. // 13800 now also via VATICAN, May 10 at 0552, is much stronger and with the double tone jamming, two carriers on the hi side only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
This report dispatched at 1616 UT May 10
