[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs December 5
** CANADA [and non]. RCI Mandarin to USA, 9610, Dec 5 at 1450 was marred by
co-channel, seemingly also in Chinese, but it was clear after 1457. Per HFCC,
guess what, CRI is on 9610 switching from Kashi to Xian at that hour. Would not
be a problem if RCI had stayed on 9515 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [non]. R. Martí has already gone into holiday-greeting mode, e.g. at
1530 Dec 5 on 15330, with Xmas and even New Year wishes a bit early, from
various staffers, some of whom, such as technicians, speak Spanish with gringo
accents.
Then found a new frequency, 11750, at 1536 Dec 5, much stronger than // 15330,
13820 and 11930, and at first seemed jamming-free, but still going after 1600 I
could hear it building up, so the DentroCuban Jamming Command is on the ball
when it counts. Was interviewing an ex-political prisoner. From the strength, I
would assume 11750 is Delano, but audio on all four was synchronized, the
others being much more heavily jammed from this perspective. At 1600, 11750 had
more holiday greetings. Not rechecked until 1754 when 11750 was off.
Could be that R. Martí has decided to try the `floating transmitter` tactic
against jamming, showing up on unannounced and unexpected frequencies, e.g. the
previous report of their being on 17660 during the 1600 hour which I have not
been able to confirm since; and Dec 5 that was just WYFR Portuguese via
Ascension as usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ECUADOR. HCJB IS on 15295, Dec 5 at 1529, then opening in Portuguese.
Remarkably, announced correct frequency, but that`s because it hasn`t changed
in years. However, keeping up with DST in Brasil is too much for them: gave
time of transmission as 12:30 to 15 hora de Brasília, where the clox now show
1330, even if they`re fooling themselves (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** GABON. ANU Le Buzz, 19160, audible Dec 5 at 1527 check despite solar
disturbance, but fluxuating only S4 to S8 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Looking for XEYU, Radio UNAM, testing as planned on 9600: Dec 5 at
1445 UT tuned in and found a weak het or tone, much like yesterday at 1957. But
the het went off at 1500. Then I tried to measure the remaining weak carrier.
It was close to 9599, and registered 10 over S9 on my generous FRG-7 meter, but
much less than neighboring signals from Australia on 9590, Canada on 9610,
despite being attenuated by solar flare a few hours earlier. This was on the
FRG-7 with E-W longwire, so not favoring this signal from the south. At 1610 I
tried measuring the frequency again, and it seemed closer to 9599.4. To do this
I used the DX-398 with a few meters of wire inside, barely producing a signal.
Never any modulation detectable. If there were, it would be too weak to listen
to. I am glad XEYU has the transmitter going again, and hope they will be able
to improve the signal and allow us to hear Radio UNAM programming on SW (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
Buscando a XEYU en sus pruebas proyectadas por 9600: el 5 de diciembre a las
1445 TU encontré una señal débil con tono o heterodino, parecida al de ayer a
las 1957. Se fué el tono a las 1500, con el cierre de otra emisora, y entonces
me puse a medir la frecuencia: bien cerca de 9599 en vez de 9600, también igual
a ayer. Utilizando receptor FRG-7 con hilo largo de unos 25 o 30 metros,
dirección este-oeste, y así no favoreciendo a tales señales del sur. En el
metro-S bien generoso, alcanzaba a 10 dB sobre S9, pero al oído muy fraco, y
mucho menos de sus vecinos Canadá en 9610 y Australia en 9590, aunque atenuados
por la erupción solar algunas horas antes. Otra vez a las 1610 medí la
frecuencia, esta vez cerca de 9599.4. Pare esto, utilicé el DX-398 con antena
interior, produciendo señal casi inaudible. De todos modos, nunca bastante para
escuchar aún si fuera modulada con programación, nunca detectada. Me alegra
saber que XEYU trata de regresar a la OC, y espero que puedan mejorar la señal
a llevarnos los programas de Radio UNAM (Glenn Hauser, Enid, Oklahoma, EE UU,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. Still no DRM audible from RNZI despite their new schedule
showing it, on 7145 before or after 1500 UT Dec 5, when RA was still audible in
analog on 7240 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
