[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs January 28-February 2

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

** AUSTRIA [non]. Ö1, via Canada, 13675, Jan 31 at 1622 in English was marred
by co-channel interference in French, and SAH, the latter occasionally fading
up when Sackville faded down. It`s the RFI Issoudun megawatt to NW Africa,
exactly as I reported Nov 11, and nothing has been done about this collision!

** ECUADOR. LV de los Andes, Quito, Feb 2 at 1459:30 on 11960: as always,
automation cut off last words of the previous program and canned ID played. I
was expecting the Albert Einstein quotation, but this time it was something
else. Without embargo, the frequency info was STILL WRONG, outdated since last
March. Said they were continuing on 11760, and closing transmission to Mexico
on 9745, and then 11960 went off. In fact, they are not and have never been on
11760, but instead Cuba also closing at 1500 (except Sundays 1530 after
Esperanto). 11960 is now the unknown (to the station itself) frequency toward
Mexico, and the other one is actually 11690, which was also confirmed a few
minutes earlier. Why do I keep reporting this? I try to keep it to no more than
once a month or sesquimonth. The question is: why doesn`t HCJB ever get its act
together and announce its own frequencies correctly? Could they axually have
recorded a new ID break to replace Einstein, and perpetuated the outdated
details? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GABON. Jan 30 at 1509, Afropop music distraxion was on 17645, while ANU
transmitter was also on the air on 17630 with news of Congolese football. On
Feb 2 at 1521 check, I found Afropop music distraxion on 17640, and this time
the music was // 17630 instead of Africa Number One! More evidence the two come
from same Moyabi site, and others also noticed this convergence (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. XEXQ, 6045, continues to be audible in the 0630 period with
classical music, such as Jan 28 at 0632, good signal with usual slight
distortion, and also Jan 31. 

Also Feb 2 at 0655, and on this date XEYU 9599.2v was also audible with
classical. Later at 2017 and 2133 chex it was audible but poor with het (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. VON, 7255, good modulation and signal shouldering aside the hams,
Feb 2 at 2145 in French with a program about some church (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** THAILAND. R. Thailand, 9725, lucked out again with DGS Costa Rica absent,
Jan 29 at 1409 with feature on Mongolia and Genghis Khan revival; 1414 promo
for one of HMTQ`s projects, 1415 Information Thailand. 1429:30 cut off in
mid-word exemplifying the ongoing lack of communication between studio and
transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VENEZUELA [non]. RNV via Cuba on scheduled 17705, Feb 2 at 2015, was nothing
but open carrier. Refund to Chávez? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Carrier on 9621.0, and het at 1516 Jan 30. Possibly spur from RCI
9610 altho no audio detectable (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
