[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs June 17-23

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

I haven`t heard much worth mentioning lately; solar flux has been bottomed out
(?) at 65 for the last few days; without embargo, one still can hear mid-night
solstitial openings on 17 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** AUSTRALIA. RA, June 21 at 1300 was running open carrier on 9590, 9580, 9560,
then at 1303 joined news in progress. Somebody forgot to pot up the program
line feed? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHAD. Still there, a big dirty blob around 7290, June 17 at 0500 check.
Could not hear any BBC Portuguese under it this time, so I wonder if they have
moved (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [and non]. Firedrake check, June 20 at 1333: all these were in
parallel, checked on two receivers. 9200 weak, 10300 much stronger and best of
the lot; at 1337 also 13970 and 18180. Did not find any in the 14.5 to 14.7 MHz
range. And at 1339 same on // 9605, unlike the others mixing with another
audible station, presumably BBC via Japan, tho WYFR is also on the schedules
during this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. VOI, 9525, June 20 at 1320, Korean talk, but mixing at equal
level with vocal music. The two did not really go together like a voice-over.
Two different audio sources fed into same transmitter? Slight fading which
could have been a SAH indicating two transmitters on frequency, but unsure.
Normally there is no co-channel during this hour unlike at 1400+. At 1325 was
hearing only the music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [non]. Shiokaze a rarity here, but poorly audible June 20 at
1310 on 9485 via Taiwan, when KAIJ 9480 was not too strong. Seemed to be in
English but with heavy accent, narrative stories of abduxions, mentioning
years. 1315 music break, and maybe into non-English, as reception worsens. 1329
piano theme music audible and off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. It appears that XEYU is sometimes on the air, but at much reduced
power compared to a few weeks ago. June 19 at 1300, RHC carrier had not quite
left 9600, and I could hear a het on the low side; after Cuba was off, I could
detect nothing but a carrier on 9599.2, squeezed between much stronger signals
from Nikkei on 9595 and Firedrake on 9605 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. Following up previous item about WKY-930 OKC counting down to new
format: it happened a few seconds late and with an upcut on June 20 at 1400 UT.
Now it`s ``The New Jocks 930`` -- yes, more sports talk. More about this was in
DX LISTENING DIGEST 7-071 at its new home, http://www.w4uvh.net/dxld7071.txt
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Pastor Melissa Scott via WWCR, 13845, June 19 at 1305 was putting out
spurs and splatter from 13825 to 13865 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
