[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs July 2-3, 2008

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

** CUBA. CRI relay back on usual 13740, with open carrier July 2 from *1347, 1400 English program, while RHC was on 13760, still past 1440. The day before, CRI was on 13760 and no RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KUWAIT. Repetitive electronic melody on 15495, July 2 at 2117, thought maybe an unknown IS, but soon into Arabic, R. Kuwait scheduled (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SINGAPORE. Reports that R. Singapore International has closed down at the end of June are contradicted by a webcast I heard of the July 2 broadcast, via http://www.rsi.sg/ announcing clearly that they will close on August 1, after two weeks of special commemorative programming about their 14-year existence. The English schedule is 1100-1400 on 6080, 6150, which I have not checked since June 30, but Victor Goonetilleke reported that 6080 was missing July 1, and assumed it was all over. So is 6080 on or off? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TAIWAN [non]. RTI via WYFR still there UT July 3 at 0200 on 5950, 9680; 0300 on 5950. In April, RTI was surveying listeners in NAm asking among other things if they listen via radio or internet, or both. See DXLD 8-050 and subsequent issues. It was thought they were considering dropping WYFR relays, and indeed they have, but apparently not in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. IBB Greenville burning taxpayer kilowatts on open carriers long before scheduled transmissions, I just happened across July 2: at 1707-1708:30* on 17895; 1712 on 15410, with CVC JBA underneath; 1714 on 9565, no jamming yet (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. KVOH spur July 2 at 1709, somewhere between 17922 and 17923, impossible to pinpoint a carrier. Ratchety noise matched modulation peaks on fundamental 17775 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WBCQ again with much better signal than originally on 15420-CUSB, Wednesday July 2 at 1932 with anapestic-style New Mexico preacher; undecided now on gender of speaker. Recheck at 2100, WORLD OF RADIO 1415 started promptly. This time it was off-frequency to the high side, about 15420.4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 17435.0, Spanish YL 5-digit spy numbers, VG signal S9+20, stronger than any 16 mb broadcast signal at 1711 July 2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
