[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs February 25-27

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

** DUCIE ISLAND. 15m certainly has been working best for me to hear the VP6DX
pedition. Previously ran across it on 21305-USB, but Feb 25 at 2219 it was on
21295-USB, saying ``listen 310`` meaning duplex, they were listening for calls
on 21310. Put another receiver there, but only heard one or two weak stations,
as most of NAm was in skip zone. I wonder why hams don`t verbally say ``QSX``
much, the proper term for this? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GABON. Africa Numéro Un, 17630, VG signal lately, better than much else on
16m, Feb 27 at 1510 promoting later programs including at 2110-2200 TU,
Flashback, and this was partly in hippity-hoppity English. Time for another
check of 19160 for possible harmonic of 9580 ? no, nothing (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. VOI back again on 9526! But bound to be temporary as usual. Feb
26 at 1445 with western-style pop music, lyrix maybe in Indonesian, since this
is the Indonesian language hour. 1458 to brief talk, probably final warta
berita headlines, 1500 TS, gamelan IS, 1501 NA by YL soprano to 1505+ and
carrier still on at tune-out. Usual VG signal when they manage to come up on
this frequency instead of 11785v.

VOI, another day still on 9526, Feb 27 with more Indonesian than Western music
in final hourquarter, usual headlines, sign-off and NA, hum and open carrier to
1507+* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGST)

** KOREA NORTH [non]. Shiokaze/Sea Breeze, 5985 via JSR Japan, Wed Feb 27 at
1412 was in English, listing Japanese women missing since 1965, with their
birthdates, weight, etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Sporadic E from the night before was still (or again) around, Feb 26
at 1429 check when WWCR was inbooming on 15825, unlike the normal
barely-audible-in-F2-skipzone situation. So strong that the hum on the signal
was quite annoying, as well as crosstalk underneath from PMS // 13845. Their
transmitters and antennas are just too close together to isolate properly, it
seems (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VENEZUELA [non]. Quick check of RNV via Cuba, 11680, Feb 27 at 1517 rewarded
me immediately with their years-out-of-date schedule announcement starting with
San Francisco at 11 am on 13740. Yawn (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11995, Feb 26 at 1435-1440+ with continuous instrumental music,
sounded very repetitive and may have been a loop. Fill for lost program feed or
test? Still on at 1458, but off at 1459 without announcement. Listed here is
CVC Darwin during this semihour since Feb 22 at 3 degree azimuth; also on
13725, and at 1500-1530 on 11650 and 13725 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST) ###
