[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs September 23-26
** CHINA. Firedrake, against Sound of Hope, Sept 24 at 1308 check was audible
on 10300 and on 18180 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. Caught part of RHC`s Spanish DX program Sunday Sept 23 at 1343 on
11760, et al. ? they were reading Iván López Alegría`s report on the Mexican DX
Encuentro, about their visit to XERTA, but strangely both Malena and Manolo
pronounced it like a word, ``Xerta`` = certa. I rather doubt the station itself
ever does this, but then I`ve hardly ever heard a clear ID (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. Not much was making it on 16m, Sept 24 at 1308; checking for Solh via
UK on 17700, I instead hear something in Chinese on 17705. Per EiBi this is
AIR: 17705 1145-1315 IND All India Radio M FE b
It`s 500 kW, 58 degrees from Bangalore. No jamming audible tho the signal was
weak (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ITALY. Rai, about to be snuffed out, conveniently heard here on 17780 to
NAm, Sept 27 at 1358 with chirping IS, 1400 beautiful opening theme and into
Italian program (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN. R. Nikkei, 6055, Mon Sept 24 at 1300 with apparent English lessons,
mostly in Japanese discussing English expressions. May be the same program I
heard previously with bits of English mixed in (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** LAOS [non]. Expecting Hmong World Christian Radio via WHRI, 11785, as has
been happening the last few Sundays, and Saturdays, after Hmong Lao Radio ends
at 1400, but Sept 23 at 1435 check, this frequency was in WHRI gospel-rock fill
music in English, so either HWCR was only a semihour, or it`s off the 1400
timeslot. It`s still missing from the WHR online program schedule (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MALI [and non]. Mauritania is a regular on 4845, especially during Ramadan,
as Sept 25 at 0605 with Qur`an. But this time with a weaker sidekick doing same
thing but not, of course, //, on 4835.6. That would be ORTM Bamako on its never
precise frequency. Since I seldom hear it, suspect it is irregular but more
likely to be active now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. At least on Sundays we can hear classical music rather than
news/talk during the 1300 UT hour from XEYU: Sept 23 at 1335 on 9599+,
Mendelssohn`s ``Midsummer Night`s Dream`` incidental music, imperfect for the
first day of autumn. F-G reception, little QRM.
Also Tue Sept 25 at 1303 with headlines quoted from and attributed to major DF
newspapers, interrupted by drumming, then into Noticias del Día for 25
September, from Radio Unam. Does this mean they are no longer recording it the
night before as exposed in some Mexican publication? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) See also CUBA
** NEW ZEALAND. RNZI 9615 is normally one of the best signals here around 0600,
but not a trace of it Sept 26. Either the transmitter was off or there was a
drastic change in propagation. Recheck at 1330, it was in as normal on 6095
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** UKRAINE. Just to be sure, checked RUI again UT Sept 25 at 0227 and yes, it
is still on 7440, not audible on 5820 --- or 5830, the European frequency,
which per WWORD quoted in DXLD 7-111 is indeed from a separate satellite feed
without the English hours (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non]. French on 6105, Sept 25 at 0615 with African news, new jingle and
soon IDed as BBC Afrique. Had not noticed this one before, perhaps because it`s
only a semihour daily at 0600, via Ascension at 27 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9410, is it DRM or jamming? Some kind of noise, not very strong,
at 1327 Sept 26. RNW and DRM DX schedules show nothing on 9410, but HFCC has
something new from Kvitsoy, Norway at 0930-1600, 65 kW, 190 degrees since Sept
1. What programming, if really on the air? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
