[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs April 14-15

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

** ARGENTINA [and non]. Another check of the 15345 collision, Saturday April 14
starting a few minutes before 2200: REE with stupid ballgame in Spanish, and
Morocco in Arabic were this time roughly 6 Hz apart, as indicated by SAH; at
first did not hear audible het from RAE. Both ran well past 2200, but REE
announcers wrapped up sports coverage just before timesignal, then news until
transmitter went off at 2204:30*. This left Morocco still on and now audible
with Qur`an, and growing wavering het from unstable RAE transmitter, until
Morocco went off at 2207:30* leaving RAE alone (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** CZECHIA [non]. Surprised to hear R. Prague concluding English broadcast on
6000 via Sackville, April 14 at 2356, plugging a contest, apparently under
Cuban open carrier as audio somewhat suppressed. At 2359 a beep, and Prague
audio ceased. The semihour at 2330 on 6000 is supposed to be in Spanish per
http://www.radio.cz/en/frequencies

which has also finally managed to add WRMI relays which were missing from it at
the beginning of A-07. I suspect that RCI played back the wrong file, as
sometimes happened during the now canceled morning relay which was at 1400 in
A-06, 1500 for the rest of 2006y. BTW, another Sackville relay is shown in
English at 0330 on 6080. At 0010 April 15 I also heard Prague on 11665, via
Ascension, this time in correct language, Spanish, with historical feature
about something going on in the XVI century.

RHC Spanish audio on 6000 did not start up until 0001, a few seconds apart from
its // 6180, which BTW among 49m frequencies listed gave only 5965 where also
heard, and 6000, not 6180. 5965 and 6180 were synchronized, 6000 slightly apart
causing a reverb with 6180 when monitored simultaneously, so different site or
feed route (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. R. Cairo, English to NAm on 9460, April 14 at 2348, fair carrier, but
just barely audible music modulation. Tried to detect Albania co-channel, now
that second Shijak transmitter has reactivated, but could not hear anything but
Cairo, and not // 7425 Tirana. April 15 at 0014 better modulation from Cairo
with woman speaking in English, but still muffled and hard to understand. 0015
timesignal which was 13.5 seconds behind CHU, with news headlines for only a
sesquiminute, and then back to music; at 0020 the music level dropped
dramatically to barely audible again. 0026 closing announcement with program
summary for next day starting at 1 am Cairo time, mostly incomprehensible.
(timeanddate.com says DST of UT +3 in Egypt does not start until April 27,
lasting until September 7, both Fridays; this does not affect UTiming of SWBCs,
but must affect their program summaries in irrelevant local time.) 0028 back to
music, 0030 another 13.5-second-slow timesignal, opening in Arabic with theme.
Not // much weaker Arabic to LAm on 9360 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** U S A. FCC says WWRB is authorized on 9385 at 1300-2300, but still going
with Brother Scare, April 14 at 2346; finally pulled the plug sometime in next
four minutes, since vacant at next tuneby 2350 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
