[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs September 5-6, 2015
** AUSTRALIA. 9580, Sept 6 at 1305, RA`s `Sunday Nights` from ABC Local Radio, interviewing author Tariq Ali, a non-believing but cultural Moslem for most of this hour; couldn`t pull away from it for NPR Weekend Edition Sunday instead. I assume the podcast will soon be available via http://www.abc.net.au/sundaynights/
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 4885.0, Sept 6 at 0113, Brazuguese yelling; 0143 still excited, mentions R. Clube do Pará in passing; ``goooooal`` so sounds like a futebol game, but a bit late for that? Also some music, so presumably not a real live game. S8 level fluxuating. John Cooper, PA, says same station signed off the night before at 0400. Still one must be alert for the other ZY on 4885, R. Dif Acreana, which as of the WRTH 2015 was shown closing at 0400 with Pará 24 hours, but not any more (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. 7375, UT Sunday Sept 6 at 0120, The Mighty KBC is back on its Sept-May frequency, ex-9925, via GERMANY; only S8 and hardly a bigsig, but at least it`s propagating (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 9690- // 7255-, Sept 6 at 0601 check, VON is on both tonight with the Hausa hour; 9690 better (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6925.15-AM, Sept 6 at 0106, S6 carrier, but hardly any modulation audible; presumed Liquid Radio (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6950-USB, Sept 6 at 0104, pirate music at S9+25, good; 0111 ID as Wolverine Radio (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Time on this one was 1159 UT, not 1259; corrected:
780, Sept 5 at 1159 UT, open carrier until KSPI Stillwater sign-on, doesn`t mention power is only 250 watts; still with some LAH from XE-land. So this daytimer signs on at 7 am local at least on Saturday; official Stillwater Sept sunrise is { } --- to be filled in once the FCC site be back in business Sept 8, as other AM/FM logs until then also may be subject to modification (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, Sept 6 at 0103, again no signal from R. Chaski. Could be timer reset closer to 0100* but recently not heard long before 0100 either (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SRI LANKA. 11905, Sept 6 at *0114:12.5 carrier on, 0114:46.5 musical prélude starts, 0115:19.5 mis-timesignal ends like mis-clockwork, SLBC signing on. Very poor signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1789 monitoring. Starting at 2330 UT Saturday Sept 5, monitored the Challenger Radio, Italy frequencies from UTwente SDR, Netherlands: switching around 1566, 1368, 846, and 567 kHz, no sign of WOR for the next dekaminute, but some occasional Italian. Perhaps the 11-minute version will appear again Sunday at 2104 on at least some of them.
WOR 1789 via WA0RCR, 1860-AM, started at 0319:36 UT Sunday Sept 6, Vern with his own opening replacing most of the too-musical WOR theme. Next on SW:
Sun 2300 WRMI 11580 to NE
Mon 0300v WBCQ 5110v Area 51 to WSW [lately John Lightning has been running way over; but this week he`s off, Jean Shepherd leadinstead]
Mon 0330 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Tue 1100 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Wed 0630 HLR 7265-CUSB to SW
Wed 1315 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Wed 1430 HLR 7265-CUSB to SW
Wed 2100 WBCQ 7490v to WSW

** U S A. 5850, Sept 6 as I am dozing off around 0555, TruNews via WRMI is talking about major expansion of this apocalyptic ministry, such as satellite radio, hourly ``news``casts for Christian stations, own FM station on 105.3 in Vero Beach (Rick doesn`t acknowledge it`s only a 100-watt, WVRO-LP). TruNews is just as wacky as Brother Scare but superficially sounds more reasonable, less off-putting (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 760, Sept 5 at 1926 UT, 6 kW KCCV Overland Park KS, usual daytime groundwave occupant of this frequency, also has a SAH from an understation at the rate of 216 beats per minute = 3.6 Hz; on the NRD-545 and the ALA-330S magnetic loop antenna favoring east-west. KCCV`s pattern is a figure-8 with one lobe toward Enid. The nearest other 760 is 10 kW KMTL Sherwood, mid-Arkansas, but ground conductivity is poor over that path. WJR Detroit remnant skywave? Other 760s, 50 kW each in Denver and San Antonio, both supposedly have nulls toward us. See also 1210 unID log. The extensive MW Offsets list
http://www.myradiobase.de/mediumwave/mwoffset.txt
again proves no help, as KCCV is not included; WJR was 3.7 Hz low in 2014; KKZN CO, 3.0 Hz low in 2013. Neither DXLD nor Hauser are in the long list of credits/sources (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1210, Sept 5 at 1922 UT, KGYN Guymon OK is always audible at the edge of its daytime groundwave, but on the ALA-330S and NRD-545 I am also getting an understation making a SAH of 2.4 Hz, and traces of otheraudio; also the SAH level fades up and down a bit. There are no other 1210s anywhere near here, so less than an hour after local mean noon at 1832 UT (and it`s still summer with relatively high sun), is this some residual skywave, or groundwave? The nearest 1210s are in WY, SD, IL, TN, LA. Only 10 kW KHAT Laramie WY and 10 kW WLRO Denham Springs LA are ND. I`d lean toward Laramie; 650 KGAB WY has made it here in the daytime. FWIW, MW Offsets list showed KGYN 0.6 Hz high in 2007y, while KHAT was 2 Hz hi in the same year; see also unID 760 log (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
