[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs May 22-24

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

** ALBANIA. R. Tirana, better than usual May 22 at 1316 on 13750 with music,
hum, almost SINPO 44444. On May 23 due to propagation disturbances, high
K-indices, neither the 1300 on 13750 nor the 2000 on 13720 was audible. Ditto
for the 1300 on May 24 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHAD. Unlike previous nights, the extremely distorted transmission was very
strong here May 24 around 0506; it was on the high side of 7290 but could not
find a specific carrier to measure. QRMing Portuguese on 7290 which could be
heard by off-tuning to low side. In fact, 7292v was the strongest signal on
41m, 7100-7300! As K-index was 5 (at 0600), and usual European signals were
barely audible; even BBC Ascension 7160 was much weaker. I think there is
little doubt this is the same one which was on 7312v earlier, and re-identified
as Chad in Martien Groot`s report in DXLD 7-060 (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

Solar-terrestrial indices for 23 May follow. Solar flux 70 and mid-latitude
A-index 37. The mid-latitude K-index at 0600 UTC on 24 May was 5 (82 nT). Space
weather for the past 24 hours has been moderate. Geomagnetic storms reaching
the G2 level occurred. Space weather for the next 24 hours is expected to be
minor. Geomagnetic storms reaching the G1 level are expected (SEC via DXLD)

** CHINA. Firedrake again audible on 9200, May 22 at 1345, poor and about equal
to 10300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GABON. Afropop music jammer on 17660.0, May 22 at 1339, and seemed to be a
SAH underneath; no sign of AN1 on 17630 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KURDISTAN [non]. V. of Mesopotamia, with (presumed) Mesopotamian music, May
22 at 1350, but at first the vocal music audio was cutting on and off; carrier
off promptly at 1400* after a couple minutes of dead air already (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. For the record, frequent chex at various times of day and night have
turned up no sign of XEYU on 9599v or XEXQ-OC on 6045 for a few weeks now
(Glenn Hauser, OK, May 22, WORLD OF RADIO 1360, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U K [non]. A quick check during the 1100 UT hour May 23 for BBC Mundo, the
BBCWS Spanish service, found it indeed on 11825, which would be Guiana French,
and 6095, WHRI, and nothing on 7315, tho you will not find this info on its own
website (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5897.5 seemed to be the center peak tho there were multiple
carriers/constant pitched tones, which when combined were pulsating every few
seconds with a recurring higher pitch. I could not detect by ear any variation
which would indicate any intelligence was being conveyed. I suspect this is the
Cuban spy-numbers/letters transmitter often heard around 5900 with more
conventional modulation. This was at 0518 May 24, and litely QRMing WWCR 5890.
Off when rechecked about a semihour later (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
