[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs February 29, 2008
** CANADA. 6160, CKZU and CKZN were taking turns dominating, Feb 29 at 0705 ---
hey, maybe it`s not such a good idea to have them on same frequency, even from
opposite coasts. Two talk programs, per CBC online schedule, CKZN would be
Channel Africa from WRN after 3:30 am local, and CKZU would be Writers &
Company after 11 pm local. There was a rippling SAH between them (unless a
weaker third station was in there to confuse the situation), maybe 15 Hz or so
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. Another check Feb 29 of what happens as RHC English is closing down at
0700 on 49 metres: 6000 carrier stayed on a while, but the audible audio seemed
to be WYFR. 6060 switched abruptly from RHC`s closing music piece to some very
different harpsichord-like music for about 10 seconds, presumably CMBF R.
Musical Nacional. Huge signal 6180 was still on at 0703 check with
undermodulated talk network, still not sure which one, until 0705*. Earlier
around 0640 I was hearing the mixing product of RHC in English on 6300, i.e.
6060 leapfrogging over 6180, with a lite SAH, presumably from otherwise
inaudible Sahara (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. VOI, 9526, not heard at first check 1408 Feb 29, but at 1451
could detect very weak carrier on this off-frequency; poor propagation today,
or QRP? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TINIAN. Don`t usually hear anything here, but Feb 29 at 1445, good signal in
Vietnamese on 15470. This is RFA at 280 degrees, 14-15. No jamming audible
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. Very surprised to hear unmistakable VOT IS on 6175, Feb 29 at 1456
with flutter. This is scheduled as Emirler site, S of Ankara, about to open
two-hour Arabic service at 168 degrees. That azimuth aims toward Al Quds, down
the Red Sea, across Ethiopia, and the southern tip of Madagascar, hitting
Antarctica at the Mac Robertson Coast. However, the long-path to Enid would be
a bit further east, right across the Arabian Peninsula, and then totally over
water all the way to Culiacán, Sinaloa, after tangenting 62 degrees south near
the Adélie Coast. This seems more likely than short path, which would reach 62
degrees north where it is noon at the southern tip of Greenland (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
Geophysical Alert Message # Solar-terrestrial indices for 28 February follow.
Solar flux 70 and mid-latitude A-index 24. The mid-latitude K-index at 1500 UTC
on 29 February was 4 (48 nT). No space weather storms were observed for the
past 24 hours. No space weather storms are expected for the next 24 hours
(SWPC)
** VENEZUELA. YVTO, 5000, has moved up its ID announcement ahead of WWVH,
perhaps in order to be in the clear. Good idea. Feb 29 at 0647-0651, heard
``Observatorio Naval Cagigal, Caracas, Venezuela`` at approximately :41-:44
past each minute. The axual time announcement just before minutetop still mixes
with WWV. Could not detect any spur on 5100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** VIETNAM. 6020 with hi-pitched hum, on the modulation, not an unstable
transmitter, at 1406 Feb 29, talk did not sound like Vietnamese. This defective
emission is thought to be Vietnam, QRMing Australia before 1400; WRTH has it as
20 kW, minorities network from Buon Me Thuot. HFCC shows site as DAL = Daclac
12N41 108E03.

UNIDENTIFIED. 6074, 8GAL, did not show up Feb 29, at 1359-1401 with V/CQ
marker, bad propagation today; however at 1401 I think I briefly heard traces
of it. Also distracted by much stronger Spanish SSB 2-way around 6072 at 1359,
whose first words heard were ``puta madre`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
