[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs December 18-20

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

** AUSTRALIA [and non]. RA, 6020, still has co-channel QRM from that
motor-boating defective transmitter, believed to be Vietnam, Dec 20 at 1340
check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. Bandscan of 13 MHz, Dec 19 at 1430 found Habana`s three frequencies
from two transmitters all missing --- no RHC 13760, no CRI English 13740, no
leapfrog on 13720; however, 13680 RHC was on as usual. 1442 recheck, all were
back on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. Dec 20 check at 1340 found XEXQ still missing from 6045 as it has
been for several days; XEYU not detectable either on 9599+, but at 1911 it was
poorly audible with classical music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** U S A. Surprised to find big collision between two US SW stations on 7465,
Dec 20 at 0642; they were at roughly equal very strong level, taking turns
dominating, roughly 10 Hz apart in a big SAH. Both with preachers, Christians
vs Christians! One changed programs at 0644 from Midnight Cry to Pastor
Shockley (sp?), from the Key West Church of God; the other did not. The other I
couldn`t help but recognize as Pastor Pete Peters. Oh, oh, he`s supposed to be
on 5890 via WWCR. Checked that frequency: vacant. So WWCR had stayed on 7465
long past the scheduled switch to 5890 at 0400, and WHRA was the other one on
7465, scheduled 0500-0700 per WHR site, and then off the air, but registered
available until 0900. At 0658 I sure thought it was a WHRI ID instead, then off
without the usual `next frequency` announcement, leaving WWCR in the clear.
Sometime between then and the next time I checked, 1339, WWCR had switched to
5890 with usual Power Hour. Adam Lock was on the phone until hourtop in his
post-WWCR job promoting Berkey water softeners (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** VENEZUELA [non]. 15290, RNV via Cuba, Dec 18 at 1916 was just open carrier
along with a lite squeal. 1918 came on the audio, closing program ``La Mujer
Venezolana``, 1919 into perpetually years-out-of-date transmission schedule
always starting with San Francisco 11 am on 13740, i.e. this very transmission
which has not really been on 13740 since 2004 or 2005 at latest (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ZAMBIA. CVC news in English, 1900 Dec 18 on 13590, 1905 into DJ; no signals
from Europe were making it at this time on this band, further evidence that the
site is really Zambia (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1387, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Heavy grinding and bubbling jamming continues on 15710, heard as
late as 1913 Dec 18, and also at 1443 Dec 19. I can never hear any sign of the
station being jammed. R. Martí can normally be detected at times on its jammed
frequencies. Since the hours are long, my theory is: a new daytime frequency
for R. República`s low-power transmission from somewhere in Latin America which
we had been hearing for some weeks on 5954.1. Is that still there, anytime
between 22 and 04, also jammed? Either that or the DentroCuban Jamming Command
has found a new clandestine to block (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1387, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15710, heavy Cuban-style jamming still going Dec 20 at 1906
check. Target still totally blocked here if there is really anything under it
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
