[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs March 31

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

** AFGHANISTAN [non]. R. Solh, 17700 via UK, audible from 1405, and coming in
well by 1420 with improving conditions, March 31 at 17700; mostly solh music,
but some speeches in Pashto lasting a few minutes. Their playback is still
skewed so that the Solh Theme once again did not start until 1458, and was
interrupted at 1500 for ID and then into other music. Still some enjoyable
music before then, always the same artist and group from day to day and it too
is getting to be familiar (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. VOG this A-season retimed Hellenes Around the World, as John Babbis
predicted, noted half-way thru during music break, but then Katerina talking,
Sat March 31 at 1330 on 15630. This frequency had some roaring noise in
background, not sure what, while // 9420 was inaudible tho India 9425 was
inbooming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. Those Adventists expecting their regular dose of evangelism in Turkish
at 1500 on 15150 are now plied with Qur`an in Arabic service from Iran, as
usage of this frequency has transitioned from B-06 to A-07, noted March 31
(Glenn Hauer, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN [non]. R. Farda no longer heard on 15410 in our mornings, but on 17510,
such as March 31 at 1400, first with multi-lingual R. Liberty IDs, then into R.
Farda programming, music before long. This is via Morocco, 14-17 UT (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** LIBYA. V. of Africa from the Great Jamahariyah, ID in English just as I
tuned 17725 in, March 31 at 1406, into Afropop music, rather like that heard on
17660 but not // (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS. March 31 at 1515, found strong Mandarin talk,
speech by one perusasive guy, both on 12025 and 12005, but 12025 was about 3
seconds ahead of 12025. No jamming audible. These are Radio Free Asia:
12005 Tinian 250 kW at 309 degrees
12025 Saipan 100 kW at 325 degrees
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAUDI ARABIA. BSKSA must be opening 17660 earlier, despite almost daily
blockage by Afropop Music Distraxion, such as March 31 at 1421, SAH between the
two and bits of French detectable.

Holy Qur`an Service still to be heard on 15435, March 31 at 1506, but no longer
on 15425; instead found // 15225 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. Sabbath-only Brother Scare broadcast via 
Guiana French, 17810, March 31 at 1404 with caterwauling; // WWRB 9385 but
several seconds unsynchronized, and I could not take it long enough to measure
how much (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U K. March 31 at 1507 found two similar signals on 15325 and 15335; 15325
was in Russian, and 15335 in Turkish. Turns out these are both via Woofferton,
the first RCI, and the second BBC; no sign of R. Martí or DCJC between them,
moved to 11845 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WBOH must now be very close to on-frequency 5920.00, since at 1309
March 31, it was producing a SAH with some other station, probably FE, and the
odds are slim that it too would be the same couple hundred Hz off-frequency
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
