[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs March 26-29
** CUBA. R. Rebelde, 5025 is an enjoyable station with lots of good music and
not the constant harping on Commie talking points you get on RHC. But they need
to pay more attention to Radio Reloj, since March 28 at 0601:30 they ran a 2+1
timesignal one sesquiminute late! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY. 13865, rock music in English, March 26 at 1433, then at 1436
announcement in Russian sounded like ``Radio Teper``` (radio now?), maybe just
a phrase or program name; 1440 ID sounded like BBC, but at 1445 mentioned Bozh,
God, as it`s really the stealth evangelistic station CVC as listed, via Jülich,
100 kW, 60 degrees at 1400-1600 in B-07. This transmission moves somewhere else
for A-08 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. AIR GOS, 9690, seldom listenable as conditions have to be just right
for this SE Asian service to make it here to CNAm, a target area totally
ignored by AIR --- March 27 at 1345 with program summary for the rest of the
broadcast until 1500. She kept giving times both in IST and GMT, not always in
the same order. Who outside of India, and this is an external service, cares
what time it is inside India with its weird and confusing half-hour offset?
It`s almost as bad as R. Japan `NHK WORLD` giving times in JST. As usual there
was considerable hum on the 9690 transmission, which is 500 kW, 108 degrees
from Bangalore (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN. NHK Warido, R. Japan, 11705 via Sackville, Saturday March 29 at
1410-1429* with World Interactive, the last show presented by Kei Fujimoto,
whose two-year contract is up. She called out to a couple near Mammoth Cave who
used to live in Japan; mentioned that haiku segment would appear next week, not
sure if by same person as before since he seemingly was saying sayonara the
first Saturday in March.
New show host will be Sumiko-somebody, who speaks English with a perfect
British accent. Kay (as spelled on her blog URL) never said what she would do
next after leaving NHK, but she has started a blog in English, linked from the
program website, which so far is no more informative. Played fragments of two
different ``Sakura`` songs, and she broke up at the very end. Show page
including her photo along with producer (? ``program member``) Junko Kato who
is also leaving, downloadable audio, link to blog, home page of Junko, a
photographer: http://www.nhk.or.jp/rjweekly/english/wi/index.html

** OKLAHOMA. The last time I was in OKC, the far-right pirate on 107.1 was
missing, but it was back the afternoon and evening of March 27, into UT March
28. Never caught a break at hourtop, but still with paranoid Republic
Broadcasting Network talk programming as carried by Radio Free Austin, another
FM pirate, since it included commercials local to Austin TX. Solid coverage
wherever I drove in the NW quadrant of the city, better than before but
probably due to better caradio than better transmission. How long will the FCC
let this go on? An alleged transmitter location has already been reported. All
the Feds have to do is move in and bust them; or if that is incorrect, DFing
lower power FM pirates is not very difficult. Or could it be under current
management, FCC goes easy on far-right pirates? (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA. Finally managed to hear the YVTO spur on 5100, March 26 at
0617-0620, definite time pips; Spanish announcements hard to make out but just
before 0620, heard check ending in ``50 minutos`` so has to be Venezuela. There
was also intermittent RTTY interfering. Not heard on 5000 or 4900 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
