Glenn Hauser logs May 20-21, 2022

Saturday, May 21 2022


** BRAZIL. 11815.044V, May 20 at 0634, JBA carrier wavering and hard
to pinpoint. Presumed R. Brasil Central.

11815.040V, May 21 at 0043, S5/S9 music, RBC remains plus but varying
slightly (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, May 20 at 2309, RHC is S6/S8 but JBM, in English? as
scheduled to Africa. Should be // 5040 but that`s JBA carrier in HNL

11950, Fri May 20 at 2309, RHC in Spanish is S8/S9+25 and even
modulating. Is this the alternate Mesa Redonda TV soundtrack?
Schedules show it not on Fridays

15730, May 20 at 2310, RHC S9+10 but suptorted, sounds like fraxured
French = Kriyòl = Creole as scheduled, toward S America, not Haïti

15230, May 20 at 2311, RHC averages S9 but JBM, should be Brazuguese?
No, Spanish, after 22-23 Portuguese, per EiBi

11880, May 21 at 0046, still on with dead air at S9+20. Supposed to
last 22-24 UT only, but previously ran way late into the night.
Somethings` always wrong at Radio Propaganda Cuba. The other side:

Something's rotten in Cuba … and it heralds more hunger
While the Government spends $ 1.5 billion building hotels, it slashes
food imports and investment in agriculture.

** MALTA. 18125 USB, May 20 at 2305, 9H5BZ contacting 6Y5TL Jamaica,
also audible weaker, and then beaming east to CQDX Australia/NZ.

9H5BZ Malta flag Malta
Dione Caruana
`Maria`
6, Church Street, Zebbug, Gozo ZBB1202
Malta

``If I am calling CQDX - and I frequently am as I am a DX Chaser - for
me, DX means a country at least 3000 km away. So do NOT call me if you
are nearer than that. If I am calling CQ (country or continent) then I
am only interested in contacts from that country or continent and will
NOT reply to anybody else.

My name is Dione. I live in the Island of Gozo in an old village of
Zebbug. I am a senior nurse and work in the Emergency Department in
one of our Local General Hospital. I am married to Ben and have 2
lovely daughters.``

Lots of illustrations, background info about Gozo on qrz.com page.

Sounds and looks like a male person. At first I thought he was saying
9A5BZ until foneticized. I started with 10, 12, ``15`` m without
hearing any activity, very little on ``17`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 7260, May 21 at 0057, dead air at S8/9+10 or just barely
modulated; 0100 5+1 timesignal cuts thru, the last pip same pitch but
prolonged; still JBM at 0133. EiBi shows this has to be VOT Spanish to
S America at 0100-0200. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

WORLD OF RADIO 2139 monitoring: confirmed new second airing, UT Friday
May 20 at 0330 on WRMI 7780; at 0348 check, S7/S9 noisy into Durango,
Dgo. SDR and S9/+5 noisy into TWR Brownsville RGV TX SDR, also noisy.
It`s a shame that the 285 degree WNW antenna which should have been
used for this is no longer funxional, so a 222 aimed toward Central
America instead, i.e. SW. There are no Kiwis in that direxion, the
closest being the two above. 5985 during its 5 hours per week at
0400-0500 is also 222 and also VP here to the NW.

Also confirmed Friday May 20 at 1430 on WRMI 9955, S6/S8 direct and no
jamming audible; following Tourette`s erupter Terry Blalock finishing
by 1429 for a bit of a Spanish song buffer.

Checked IRRS just in case third Fri May 20 on 7290 via Bulgaria into
UTwente; tuned to 7290 LSB to avoid warble, a brief tone/het came and
went at 1758:35. IRRS as always cut on about 1800:55, JIP rock music
from monthly preëmptor Radio City which IDs at 1809 and also on AM
Italia, 1323 and 918 kHz, but not LW 207. So no WOR at 1815 this week

WOR 2139 confirmed Friday May 20 at 2053 the 2030 on AM Italia, 1323
kHz at S9+3 with lite SAH QRM; slightly better on clear 918, S9+5, no
207.
