[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs April 15-17

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

** ALASKA. Haven`t heard KNLS in quite a while, but the English broadcast was
making it April 16 at 1419 on 7355, with music, parable on moneybag(?), 1420
ID, music; 1425 one-minute feature on American idioms: TGIF wherein G means
Goodness. Propagation conditions have to be just right (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

Solar-terrestrial indices for 16 April follow. Solar flux 69 and mid-latitude
A-index 0. The mid-latitude K-index at 1200 UTC on 17 April was 3 (20 nT).
Space weather for the past 24 hours has been minor. Geomagnetic storms reaching
the G1 level occurred. No space weather storms are expected for the next 24
hours (SEC via DXLD) 

** GABON [and non]. Afropop music distraxion was on 17612.0, much lower than
usual range, Sunday April 15 at 1405 check, but VP signal here. Afropop music
jammer on 17652.0, April 16 at 1350; there was a weak carrier on 17655, perhaps
Sawt al-Amal itself and at this hour WHRA was quite weak on 17650; Apop still
on 17652.0 at 1436 recheck (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KURDISTAN [non]. V. of Mesopotamia, 11530 via Moldova, coming in well enough
to enjoy the Kurdish music, April 16 at 1345; timesignal at 1401:20, 80 seconds
late! Then talk, presumably news until 1416 back to music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** LIBYA [and non]. Just as I predicted, 17870 totally blocked by GUF DRM on
17870-17875-17880, when it came back on the air on Monday, April 16 at 1345
check; impossible to tell if Libya`s English broadcast at 1400 was still there
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1355, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. Haven`t heard any trace of XEYU lately on 9599v, e.g. April 16 when
looking for it at 1335. At 1735 there was a weak signal on 9600.0, likely
something else (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U K [non]. WHRI was almost two minutes late in bringing up BBCWS audio on
13640 at 2102 April 15, joining news in progress, while // 11675 via Greenville
was already running BBC chimes before 2100. 2106 show on Sundays is The Ticket,
arts magazine, this time starting off with the Kronos Quartet (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WHRI still on 7335, April 17 around 0845 check as I woke up briefly;
this time CHU was stronger than when the collision was first monitored, and
would have been rather annoying, I should think, to anyone axually trying to
listen to the gospel huxters (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1355, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** VENEZUELA [non]. Aló Presidente relay via Cuba, Sunday April 15 at 1409
check was VG on 13750, // much weaker 13680, and // 11875 which was a reverb
apart from 13750; and // 11670 was way under WYFR. Before 1400, 13680 with RHC
itself was VG, so must have switched antennas and/or transmitters. Tho the news
was from or about Venezuela, they managed to make it about Posada Carriles.
Meanwhile separate RHC programming continued on 11760 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
