[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs September 28, 2008
** AUSTRALIA. 2485, VL8K, best heard yet with armchair copy, Sept 28 at 1252 with religious discussion, much like on RA but not // 9580. Could be same show from so-called ABC Local Radio, but half an hour offset. // 2325 VL8A was much weaker this time, and // 2310 VL8T even weaker. Recheck 1321, half a sesquihour after local sunrise, still just barely audible on 2485 with talk. I wonder if any Aussie signals would have been coming thru too on the upper MWBC band if not blocked (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. AIR GOS, 9690, audible again Sept 28 after long absence, 1330 OM signing on, giving this and 11620, 13710, into YL news in less than a minute, 1340 ending news bulletin, ID, Today`s Commentary. Then checked 13710 and heard something else with music; CRI in French via Kashi is scheduled. And nothing on 11620. see also UNIDENTIFIED 4940, 5050 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. Trans-Pacific conditions were hot on Sept 28, so I kept tuning around, unable to land on any one frequency long enough to get much detail, but I`m not trying to QSL them, anyway ---
3325, 1258 talk, then music. 1304 music. Could be PNG here, not certain
3987, 1255 talk; 1305 Indo talk // 3995; 1323 hams relented a bit, music sounds similar to 3995, but not //; 1325 definitely different music
3995, 1255 music; 1305 Indo talk // 3987; 1323 similar music to 3987 but not same; 1325 ham net starts up on 3995 with this as BFO
4605, 1314 music, very weak, but evidence Serui is still on the air
4790, 1310 mix CODAR, music, then YL mentioning FM, kHz; somewhat better than 4750 which also had CCI. 1312 YL vocal on 4790, no more Qur`an; takes Sundays off? Ramadan not quite over (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. VIRI, 15150 wonderful muezzin reciting Qur`an, Sept 28 at 1345, still going at 1412. Such a talented singer: I wonder if he is famous in Iran and even has a fan club, or would this be unseemly? Would he also sing secular songs, or would that be unseemly? I wonder about this, since as an Infidel without the baggage of belief, I can appreciate his performance solely as Art. Note that some of our greatest singers started out as cantors (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. Scheduling foulup again at RNZI, for Sept 28 at 1248, 6170 was already on, while 9655 bore nothing but the open carrier from RNW via Tinang prior to 1300 modulation, while RNZI 6170 is not supposed to open until 1259; W&M discussing sexism in the Maori language. Could be everything is an hour off due to DST which just started 23 hours earlier, and failing to compensate for that (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PAPUA NEW GUINEA. Quick chex of PNG frequencies Sept 28 found:
3205, 1259 talk, sounds like Tok Pisin; 1300 choral music with pauses, anthem? 1302 open carrier, but not signed off; 1304 music resumed
3235, 1258 music, 1304 choral music
3335, 1257 music, 1300 YL announcement; 1303 open carrier
3345, 1257 carrier and something, 1303 talk
3385, 1256 music, 1300 announcement by YL, 1303 music
3905, 1256 music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 3980, Sept 28 at 1255 vocal music struck me as S Asian, with ham noises, buzzing, hets on and off; 1256 announcement; 1306 music. PWBR has Hamgyong PS, KOREA NORTH on 3981v, as alternate to 3940, and I did not nail it to 3980.0 for sure. Aoki has nothing between 3976 and 3985, but 3940 Chongjin. LOB in Brasil has been reporting Korea North on 3980 about 3-4 hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4940 (not 4945), Sept 28 at 1315, fluttery carrier averaging S9+10 which ought to be enough for copy, but just bits of talk audible, so very undermodulated? Probably AIR Guwahati. 1317 similar flutter on weaker 5050 signal, Aizawl? But talk sounds more SE Asian, and more likely China (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. The het to CFRX was again around 6070.8, Sept 28 at 1246, probably North Korea (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
