[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs February 21-22
** GUIANA FRENCH. Cf previous report under POLAND [non]. PRES via Montsinéry,
9660, achieved some modulation this time when checked Feb 22 around 2230,
Polish talk. Signal read S9+20, but still badly undermodulated, no comparison
in loudness to other similar signals on band, e.g. Spain direct on 9630, S9+25
loud & clear (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. RRI, 9680, with gamelan orchestra at 1430 Feb 21, rather like the
loop they used to play on VOI 9525 after 1530. But as always on 9680, with
co-channel QRM, in Chinese:
Per EiBi we have a four-way collision here:
9680 2200-1500 INS Radio Rep. Indonesia 4 IN SEA
9680 1100-1800 TWN Radio Taiwan Int. M FE
9680 1100-1500 USA Voice of America M FE /PHL
The fourth being mandatory Chicom jamming against RTI and/or VOA!
A somewhat different timespan pixure emerges from Aoki, all 1234567:
9680*CBS TAIWAN 1100-1800 Chinese 100 352 Taipei
TWN 12124E2509 CBSC b07
9680 RRI Jakarta 2200-1300 Indonesian 250 316 Jakarta-Cimanggis
INS 10651E0612 RRI
9680*VOICE OF AMERICA 1100-1500 Chinese 250 349 Tinang
PHL 12037E1521 IBB b07
This showing RRI off at 1300, not the case per my log today. And the * meaning
both CBS and VOA are jammed. This multi-collision is a no-win situation for all
concerned. I bet they haven`t worked it out either at the latest HFCC in
Malaysia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. JSR, best heard in quite a while, Feb 22 at 1425 on 5985,
in English with several YL IDs as ``JSR, Shiokaze, Sea Breeze,`` contact info
over habitual piano music to 1430* SINPO 34443, only trace of the Myanmar 5986v
het (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. I was pleased to be able to hear intonation resembling my
own on weak but unjammed WRMI 9955 signal, Feb 21 at 2322 check during
scheduled WORLD OF RADIO airing at 2300 Thursdays. Thank you, DCJC, for
relenting at this time. To be sure it wasn`t a propagational anomaly, I found
grind jamming against Martí was still audible on 9565 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WBCQ, 7415, Friday Feb 22 before 2300 with old 78s on Behaviour
Night, enjoyable music à la Marion`s Attic which he also plugged; after 2300
Bluegrass State of Mind. As always, much better signal here than on 5110,
during Area 51 bihour, which on Fridays seems to have settled at 2300 on
International Radio Report from CKUT, previous Sunday, and at 2330 WORLD OF
RADIO. Axually on 5111.2 or so, and IRR did not start until 2303, cut off
before quite finished so WOR did not start any later than 2331 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5850, Feb 22 at 2307 heard a program ending at this strange time,
giving 1-800-YESHUA1 phone number address in Lodi (with a long I), New Jersey;
2308 WHR ID. Also caught my attention because the S-meter was fluxuating
slightly with modulation, so reduced carrier? Seems unlikely; maybe just a
selective fading fluke. Later looked up on sked and it`s WHRA with:
2305-2308 UT Mo,Tu,We,Th,Fr Nice Jewish Boy Jonathan Cahn 5.850 MHz
BTW, the World Harvest Radio website http://www.whr.org has a new look, but the
basic navigation around the schedules seems to be the same (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Often hear SSB above 6.2 MHz in the mornings, seemingly river or
intracoastal barge traffic. Feb 22 at 1435 UT I axually paid attention for a
while to approx. 6223 kHz (het with Harold Camping), and caught ID as WHX672 in
Brownsville, lots of ``rogers`` and ``comebacks``, in contact with various
vessels, including Rebecca Marie, Marietta(?), off at 1439. Google search on
callsign comes up with only one hit, to a seemingly useful list altho dated
2005, http://www.coastalradio.org.uk/2182licusa.pdf
``2182 kHz licenses for US coast stations`` --- mostly private with the few
public ones mixed in, an 11-page list by region and state/territory of
callsigns, locations, and licensees, but no other frequencies mentioned, which
has WHX672 as
Snodgrass, Sammy F., at Brownsville, Cameron County, TX, MC, Private Coast.
Then searching WHX672 in the 13,374 messages accumulated so far in the UDXF yg,
not a single hit, so this must be new information (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Two hams trying to contact were having a hard time hearing each
other, but I could hear both of them well: Feb 22 at 1450 on 7162-LSB, Norm,
W5RIO quite strong, but with heavy noise in the background, identified by his
contact, who also complained about it, as a fan. The VOX never cut off during
pauses. To avoid some QRM, WT5O QSYed to 7158, but at 1455 W5RIO hadn`t got the
message. They were calling each other for a while both on 7162, then on the
different frequencies. As I quit, don`t know if they ever reëstablished
contact. Per ARRL lookup these OMs are:
WILLIAMS, NORMAN W, W5RIO (Extra), BASTROP, TX 78602
TEEPLES, P BERT, WT5O (Extra), ALPINE, TX 79831
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Not having checked 8GAL for several days, I did so Feb 21 at 1400
on 6074. Usual VVV/CQ CQ CQ marker started up immediately on CW after Russian
timesignal on 6075 and as I switched on BFO to keep hearing it. But the marker
stopped before DE. This was about the same time the Russian carrier went off.
Several seconds later, 8 dits came over two or three times, which means
``error``, and then the marker started over to completion, ending about
1401:30. First time I have heard this happening: implies it is actually done
manually rather than automatically (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
