[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs February 15-17

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

** CANADA [non]. Rod Hembree via WBCQ 9330, as I tuned by, UT Feb 17, 2008 at
0003 with weather warning for southern Ontario, dated Sunday June 3 around 8:30
pm --- very, very useful, now. Checking the perpetual calendar, Sunday June 3
could have been as recently as 2007! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** COLOMBIA. Hadn`t heard much on 6010 lately, but Feb 16 at 0733, YL English
ID as ``The Voice of Your Conscience``, then guitar music, dominating
frequency, SAH maybe from XEOI under; but at 0741 HJDH to open carrier
audiblizing weak music station under, presumably Radio Mil (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** COSTA RICA. 5954, ELCOR transmitter test, checked Sat Feb 16 at 2315 with
nondescript music amid heavy QRM; recheck at 2335, no carrier detectable (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. R. Cairo, 9465 to NAm, at 2320 Feb 16, last part of news by YL. It
was fairly intelligible, but modulation not up to par; went into feature
program at 2325, which was much less intelligible, so moved on (Glenn Hauser,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. Re previous report: ``VOI active again, and no doubt temporarily,
on 9526, Feb 16 at 1402 with Korean hour running late, brief English
announcement that Korean had ended and Indonesian was starting; that also ran
late with music until 1504, minute of deadair to 1505*. Not back on at 1530
check when they used to start the gamelan IS and ID 6-minute loop`` 

Date was wrong above: Feb 15! Sure `nuff, gone again on Feb 16 around 1440
check (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NETHERLANDS [non]. 7380, Feb 16 at 2325 Indonesian talk over constant bed of
music from the 20s or 30s; thought I briefly heard a hint of the RNW IS, but
program continued past 2330, music having changed at 2332 to ``Winter
wonderland``. This is via Madagascar, and I suppose the Indonesians must be
longing for snowy Holland (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Contrary to a recent report that New York Radio was off the air, I
found it going as usual, ID Feb 17 at 0640 on 6604-USB with aviation weather
for places such as Atlantic, Pittsburgh, St. Louis; and also on // 3485 checked
at 0644 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. CVC A Sua Voz, 15410 via Chile to Brasil, UT Sat Feb 16 at 2340
with truncated classical music pieces, such as Copland`s El Salón México,
introduced by hard-sell announcer. Really a strange program, off-putting to the
classical aficionado who knows how long these pieces are supposed to run;
outroed at 2357 as ``Sem Limites`` for Sexta-feira, then QSY announcement to
11745 and off. This appears on the sked as M-F only, but has been appearing
regularly on Saturdays too: so it`s a replay of the Friday program. BTW,
Limites in Portuguese is stressed on second syllable, unlike Spanish Límites
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
