[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs October 11, 2008
** CANADA. CFRX, 6070.0, weak but with somewhat improved modulation and no QRM at the moment, Oct 11 at 1315 in talk program. Also seems to be on-frequency, compared to KFTI-1070.0 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE. 7220, Oct 11 at 0623, African drumming and chanting, interrupted by announcements in tonal language. Off abruptly at 0630* with no perceptible ID. Don`t recall noticing this before; list logging, could it be Central African Republic, or Eritrea? No, just RFI in Hausa from Issoudun as scheduled at 0600-0630 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** LAOS [non]. WHRI missing from 11785 at 1326 during Sat Oct 11 broadcast of Hmong Lao Radio, normally at 1300-1400. Just VOI 11786 producing het with Firedrake and VOA. Recheck at 1423 found WHRI back on the air with rustic music on Hmong World Christian Radio; 1430 DXing with Cumbre with Marie Lamb – see U S A (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES. VOA via Tinang, 9760, Oct 11 around 1405 with World News Now, signal suddenly degrades to weaker with more fading, then comes back to solid. No interruption in modulation; happened twice for a few seconds. It is as if there are two transmitters or antennas running at once, and one of them momentarily drops off the air.
Hey, looking it up later in HFCC, there ARE two transmissions from Tinang on 9760 at same time! One is at 12-15, 21 degrees, and the other is at 13-16, 270 degrees. So the 21 dropped off for a bit, and the 270 stayed on.
Earth & Sky, now with only one presenter, runs at 1421-1423, then at 1423 silly ballgame news, times apparently locked in to VOA WNN`s hourly clock (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WHRI, 11785, Sat Oct 11 at 1430, het from Indonesia 11786, DXing with Cumbre, Marie Lamb saying she now worx for WCNY where the show is recorded. It`s sister station to WAER Syracuse, her ex-employer. I expect they are in same building with shared facilities.
Here she is on the WCNY staff list now,

``Marie Lamb is a Central New York native and a graduate of the Setnor School of Music at Syracuse University. Marie hosted classical and opera programs at WIKE-AM, at the former Eisenhower College in Seneca Falls. She also hosted a daily jazz program for many years at WAER-FM in Syracuse. Marie began at Classic FM in 2002 as a staff engineer, and she can often be heard on the air as a substitute announcer.``

Strangely enough, no mention of her SW broadcasting. See also LAOS [non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WEWN, 11560 in English, Oct 11 at 1325 with very rapid choppy flutter and frequency also fluttering from Doppler effect. Strange propagation, not affecting other US signals on band, tho something similar on CBCNQ 9625. Since this WEWN transmission is at an azimuth of 335 degrees, my theory is that most of the signal I am getting, so disturbed, is not direct, but backscatter from the auroral zone. Their other two frequencies at the time, 7425 and 17510, checked at 1328 and 1330, did not exhibit this. WWV reported the mid-latitude K-index at both 1200 and 1500 as 5, but ``no space weather storms in the past 24 hours`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WINB, 9265, Oct 11 at 1448 with revival meeting, two or more people shouting at once. Usual unstable carrier, warbling with BFO on, confirming it`s WINB despite the fact that it is supposed to be on this frequency only until 1200, per FCC and HFCC. And WINB`s own schedule at http://www.winb.com/schedule.htm claims it changes from 9265 to 13570 at 0800 EDT = 1200 UT.
One might have equally guessed 9265 was WMLK, on the schedules for 9265 from 1600, but that has been inactive for many months and this was certainly no Elder Jacob O. Meyer speaking. Furthermore, this station had modulation, unlike WMLK when it was on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
