[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs June 25, 2013
** CHINA. Firedrake [non], CNR1 jamming, June 25 before 1200:
13530, fair at 1153
13830, poor at 1153 with echo
13920, fair at 1153
13970, fair at 1153; none in the 12s or 14s, 16s, 17s or 8s
15250, poor at 1153 with het, SSOB in otherwise almost-dead band
Before 1400 June 25:
13970, fair at 1335; none in the 12s
14700, poor at 1335
15900, poor at 1336
16920, very poor at 1336
17250, poor at 1336

** CUBA. 14375, June 25 at 0457, big open carrier: I bet it`s Cuban number station, with an RHC (-like?) 250 kW transmitter, altho an unfamiliar frequency. Yes: at 0502, Spanish 5-digit YL numbers are underway. Searching UDXF yg gets only one hit on frequency this year:
``14375.0 ---: Cuban DGI CUB 06:40 H3E/DSB RDFT/120/4600 SS coded messages and RDFT modem traffic (30 Apr)(PPA)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 15340, June 25 at 1335, RHC signal atop HCJB, but distorted modulation at peaks only, unusable: wiggle that patchcord!
11760, June 25 at 1339, RHC is off this frequency but still on 11750, 11690. At 1340, RHC carrier is back on 11760.
Meanwhile on 11760, two other signals mixing. Only CRI English in HFCC, but Aoki shows also Sound of Hope 300 kW from Taiwan, which should surely provoke jamming too, regardless of CRI.
11860, the fourth 25mb frequency of RHC, June 25 at 1339 also with defective modulation at peaks only, but not as bad as 15340 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 13840-13860, June 25 at 0500, the terribly defective R. Cairo Abis transmitter on 13850, aimed 315 degrees toward North America, with very distorted music including `Big-Ben` chimes, but also putting spurs plus and minus 10 kHz, audible out to 13 kHz away. Bad news for R. Farda via Lampertheim, Germany on 13860, totally blocked, and R. Japan, French via Madagascar upcoming at 0530 on 13840 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 770, June 25 at 0513 UT, Mexican music is dominating, 0515 ``más info en Grupo Fórmula, Estilo de Vida`` segment. Music must have been just a break in the talk format via XEACH, Monterrey NL (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. A small Es opening no higher than channel 2, UT June 25:
0207 on 2, sitcom or studio game show, spotting italic 2 in oval bug UR, which is Grupo Pacífico logo, meaning it`s one of the two XHI-TVs, in Los Mochis, Sinaloa or Ciudad Obregón, Sonora. Gala TV swirl bug is also there in LR corner
0215 on 2, Gala TV promos
0223 on 2, program title in LR: La Hora Pico; cast includes short Indian woman with braids, typical stereotype the Mexicans have no problem with
0237 on 2, another fade in, Gala bug in LR, but now there is no 2 bug in UR
0238 on 2, a lucky glimpse of a white text super ID for a second or two in the UR corner, including the word HERMOSILLO. Therefore in the meantime the skip has shifted from XHI/XHI to XHMMA-TV, 30 kW which is a fulltime Televisa-9 affiliate, unlike the XHIs
0245 on 2, CCI in and out, lasts a few minutes past 0300 fade out (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 780, June 25 at 0125 UT, KSPI Stillwater, 250-watt daytimer, is already in dead air, and hardly any WBBM audible under it yet: official FCC sunset there is 0145 UT in June and July. So it`s well on the way to open carrier all night as often happens? No, at 0510 recheck it`s off, tho little OTR from WBBM is propagating now either, mostly C&W from KCEG Pueblo CO with a Mex mx mix (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 89.3, June 25 at 0100 UT, another check for new station in Loyal which I first heard during Es opening from Florida. Manipulating the DX-398 whip antenna to minimize signal from local 89.1 translator, indeed full ID as ``Helping prepare for Jesus` second coming, KIEL, Loyal, Oklahoma, 89.3 FM; it`s 8 PM`` but sounds automated; religious music immediately before and after and no mention of Radio 74 Internationale at this time. Does the -EL in the call allude to God? (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, June 25 at 0102, R. Chaski with bits of talk modulation until cut off at 0103:32*, which is 5.5 seconds later than yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
