[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs August 21-22, 2010

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

** ANGUILLA. CB was back on 6090 around 0515 Aug 22 with TUN, having been stuck on the day frequency 11775 the night before (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BULGARIA. 15700, Sunday Aug 22 at 1307 Zamfir-like pan-flute, 1310 switch to Swingle Singers or clone accompanying brief R. Bulgaria ID, on to Bulgarian song. Distorted, somewhat overmodulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake Aug 22: nothing found on initial upward scan after 1305, until I got to 16100; then I checked again from 19 MHz down to 8.

16100, good at 1319, S9+10 peaks with flutter; still past 1331, 1352
10500, good at 1323 // 16100; 1324 usual ``ramshorn`` passage; 1352
 8400, very poor at 1326, // 10500 and 16100; not heard earlier
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 6250.0, RNGE, Sunday Aug 22 at 0536 singing, 0544 announcement, choral or gospel music. Fair signal but undermodulated; ute beeper on hi side. 6250 is quite irregular, usually missing lately (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 9420, VOG VG Aug 22 around 0530 amid multi-hour Sunday morning Greek Orthodox singing service; good signal vs zero signal 24 hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN [non]. 17695, Aug 22 at 1357, R. Farda ID, fair signal and back to Iranian music; via Lampertheim, GERMANY until 1430, then Biblis (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [and non]. 9750, poor Sunday Aug 22 at 1350 going from Wagner, to Japanese announcement, to Mozart, then found almost // 11655 VG via Sackville, while 9750 is 290 degrees from Yamata, with fast SAH. Three other stations are registered at same time: Malaysia, Kuwait, Moscow (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PHILIPPINES. 7225, VOA Korean via Tinang, Aug 22 at 1252 check, minus the spurs heard 24 hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WEWN 13835 slushy spur messing up neighboring WWCR 13845, Aug 21 at 1408, made obvious by fundamental 13835 being so much stronger than 13845 at the moment. I have tried to make both stations plus other victim WYFR aware of this problem, but apparently nobody cares, as it`s been going on for years (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VATICAN. 15235, Aug 22 at 1314 VR IS, and 1315 opening Vietnamese, fair with S9 peaks; still at 1356 recheck. VR`s Vietnamese services are a regular in NAm, far offbeam from SMG at 72 degrees, so we are closer to off the side than off the back (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VENEZUELA [non]. El Hugazo missing another Sunday, from ``Aló, Presidente`` Cuban relay frequencies at 1555 check Aug 22: nothing on 12010, 13750, 17750. I heard somewhere that he has suspended the show during elexion campaign, which would seem to be counterintuitive and counterproductive (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1580, KOKB open carrier understations, Sunday Aug 22 at 1340-1345: no Spanish, but mix of music and English talk, KREL CO no doubt being one of them (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
