Log: RCV - Russian Navy Exercise  View Printable Version 
Sunday, January 30 2022

Logs


An exciting catch, given the current political situtation:
(Not an uncommon type of message actually, but right now nobody wants to hear rockets firing in the waters between Russia and Ukraine! And if you want to freak your XYL, take pencil notes in morse code along with Russian letters with your dx headphones on, haha)

Logs
** ANTARCTICA. 15476 RCUSB, Jan 29 circa 1450 UT, no LRA36 signal into
Pardinho, Brasil SDR this Saturday as usual while it continues to
appear on Wednesdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 6660, Jan 29 at 0155, CHU-like pips, but with uteblatt QRM
and cannot make out an ID before top of next minute. Second harmonic
of 3330 is often reported by Harold Frodge, better positioned in
Michigan, and I keep seeking it, but need to continue checking this
WOOB frequency oftener. Remember when their ex-frequency 7335 was
exactly half of 14670? Now 15700 would be the spot (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** ETHIOPIA [non]. 15400, Sat Jan 29 at 1614 JBA signal into Kenya
SDR, even less into Kuwait, but scheduled now at 1600-1629 is a new,
or reactivated clandestine which must not be reaching target
effectively, as discussed in the WOR iog:

Arthur Pozner, near NYC, Wednesday Jan 26 at 1610 UT:
``[WOR] Unknown program on 15400 kHz at 16:00 UTC --- Not listed,
seems to be heavily jammed. Sounds to my ears as one of the Ethiopian
languages``

Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria, 1643 UT:
``Language is Afan Oromo Mon-Wed, Fri, Sat probably via Galbeni from
NEXUS IRRS SW from January 21. Registered today in HFCC Database``

Arthur Pozner at 1644: ``ID as "IRRS Milano". Music interval from
Carmen (Toreador).``

Ivo, Observer, Bulgaria:
``ROMANIA New clandestine broadcast of NEXUS IBA IRRS Shortwave
via RADIOCOM Galbeni:
1600-1629 on 15400 GAL 300 kW / 140 deg to EaAf Afan Oromo
Mon-Wed/Fri/Sat from January 21
1600-1629 on 15400 MIL 150 kW / 135 deg to EaAf Afan Oromo
Mon-Wed/Fri/Sat in HFCC is wrong
https://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2022/01/new-clandestine-program-of-nexus-irrs.html
Weak/poor signal of this unknown clandestine broadcast via SDR Tambov
Russia on January 26``

Kai Ludwig:
``Oromia National Media – Arraata Biyyoolessa Oromiyaa.

https://www.onm-abo.org/

Based in Toronto:

IRRS had already transmitted them, circa summer 2020 til spring 2021,
from Kostinbrod. Seems these guys have found some new money...``

The NEXUS program schedule does show this on Mon, Tue, Fri, not on Wed
or Thu; Sat & Sun refuse to load (Glenn Hauser, Jan 29, WOR)

** SPAIN. 12030, Jan 29 at 1643, REE is yet again in dead air, S7-S9
into Maryland SDR. Recheck at 2022, OFF the air while the other three
frequencies are good to very good: 11940, 11685, 9690. Something`s
always nonsensical at Noblejas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 6125, Jan 29 at 0423, VOT English now on the squealy
transmitter, unlike the previous emission at 23 UT Jan 28 on 5960.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 338 MCW kHz, Jan 29 at 0644 UT, RYN, 400 watt ND beacon at
Tucson / Ryan AZ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2123 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday January 29 at 0230 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/20 direct instead of
almost faded out as often happens with this.

Confirmed Sat Jan 29 at 1700 on WRN North America webcast.

Also confirmed Sat Jan 29 starting at 2033 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM,
Wentzville MO, S9+12 into nearby Warrenton SDR. Next:

One may also contribute by MO or check on a US bank to
Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 700 kHz, Jan 29 at 0700-0705+ UT, I`m checking WLW exactly
24 hours after the deadair newshole, but it keeps modulating tonight
with ``Queen City`` local news rather than ABC. CCI under from a music
station. Should that be ``Sin-city``? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Jan 29 at 0429:
738, 837, 1089, 1107 --- and 1665 kHz. Where Carlos Gonçalves,
Portugal has reported numerous pirates from Holland, Greece and
Balkans, but also all over the X-band. Probably something closer I get
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search Jan 29 at 0638:
603, 684, 837-2, 909, 999, 1044, 1089, 1107-2, 1215 kHz. Axually
logged from top down. 603 is unusual, but at this late hour more
likely lower-powered Spain than Romania, Cyprus, Oman (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 830 kHz, Jan 29 at 1845 UT, I`m making a low-noon MW
bandscan just after local mean noon at 1832; on caradio by Box 1684,
not much unusual on frequencies with low enough noise level, but here
there is a JBA talk signal and a SAH from a second station. Sky- or
ground-wave or a mixture? Main one is presumably WCCO. The other could
be in WY, LA or TN (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4030 AM, Jan 29 at 0237, JBA carrier registers S9 but so
does the noise level. Ball Smacker Radio was reported here exactly one
week before. And also tonight:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,92219.0.html
I guess now her regular weekly Friday-night-at-8-pm-CT schedule,
ex-6960 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6920- AM, Jan 29 at 0235, JBA carrier presumed pirate;
nonesuch reported at HFU (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6925 USB, Jan 29 at 0158-0228*, S9 big-band-era songs,
instrumental or crooners, continuous segués with no announcements
until chopped off mid-song. At 0201, duet ``Don`t Know Why I Love You
Like I Do``; 0226 ``Ordinary People``. More pirate logs as unID just
before and after I was hearing it:

** AUSTRALIA. 2368.5, Jan 28 replies to my non-reception of R.
Symban:

``Hi Glenn, I may try this evening local time to see if I can receive
them on 2368.5. As you said, they haven't been on SW for many years
and their current licensed transmitter location is near their studios
in inner-west Sydney.

Radio La Manamea Samoa, who "borrowed" the licence for a short time
after Symban left the airwaves, is also gone from that frequency.
Radio LMS's owner got into a fair amount of trouble a few years back
in relation to allegedly pocketing advertising money from local
businesses and failing to deliver. IMO, he's also using
frequencies/locations that he isn't licenced for by the ACMA.

Both Symban and Radio LMS (now known as Samoa FM) are on the 151 MHz
"narrowband area service" band in Sydney but not on ~206 MHz, which is
the DAB+ frequency and neither Symban nor Samoa FM are in the DAB+
station lists.``

[Later at 1033 UT]: ``Zero signal from Symbian on 2368.5 at the Tecsun
Radios Australia kiwiSDR (Araluen NSW) and VK2ARI KiwiSDR which is
just around the corner from the licensed transmitter location.

Its all a ruse!!

However there is another licensee on the same frequency in Western
Australia. I will check their closest SDRs now.

VK6QS KiwiSDR has nothing either on 2368.5 at this time (1040 UT),
however there is a remnant of local rfi on 2366.15 approx.

This was done as a check on the other ACMA licensed station on 2368.5
which may be a work-in-progress (like Dave Hacko, who I’m really keen
on hearing when he’s completed his setup). -- Regards, BRIAN POWELL,
VK2XBP, Sydney, Australia`` on the WOR iog (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 351 MCW kHz, Jan 28 at 0648 UT, dash and YKQ, 500 watt NDB
at Fort Rupert / Waskaganish, Quebec. No problem separating from 350
RG OKC, tuning in USB.

258 MCW kHz, Jan 28 at 0652 UT, dash and ZSJ, 1000 watt NDB at Sandy
Lake, Ontario. Only one on 258 listed by dxinfocentre.com/ndb.htm

Higher up still blocked by noise peaking around 395 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. Re: ``UNIDENTIFIED. 6920.0 AM, Jan 16 at 0714, S6-S8
rock music with heavy bass. Extremely unusual for a N American pirate
to be on so late; and I had not heard any on this band during `prime`
Saturday evening time. No reports in HF Underground, except this
unrelated? 7 hours later on 6920.6 with various IDs including Partial
India Radio, Pirate Radio Boston, Captain Ganja, Radio Free Euphoria:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,91736.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)``

Chris Lobdell replies Jan 27: ``Hi Glenn, Your later reception on 6920
was actually partial India radio with their 25th anniversary show and
you heard audio clips from various stations as part of the program``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Fri Jan 28 at 2300, VOT succeeds today as
heard via UTwente, only +16 Hz carrier offset, VG modulation, no
squeal! SimulSpain on 9690 via Virginia is VG too, but topic seems
familiar, interview about an exhibition of American art --- rather
offputting since none of it is to be seen, so I stick with TRT. After
news, press review, a commentary by an academic about Turkey`s
interest in defusing the Ukraine/Russia situation just across the
Black Sea, offering to mediate; and 2322 `Feeling Supreme/Health
Line`, this time about natural cures for nasal congestion, such as
apple vinegar. Since 2310 there has been CCCCCCI way under the Turksig
but gradually increasing; after 2329 mostly music (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2123 monitoring: confirmed UT
Friday January 28 at 0130 on WRMIs: 5850 VG direct; at 0149, 7780
S9+10 into UTwente.

Also confirmed UT Fri Jan 28 at 0330 on WRMI 5985: S5 to Maryland SDR,
S9 to Knoxville SDR and JBA direct. NO signals at new Aguadas,
Colombia SDR; still streaming but antenna disconnected?

Also confirmed Friday January 28 at 1530 on WRMI 9955, S9/+10 direct,
no jamming.

Also confirmed Friday January 28 from about 1915 on IRRS via Bulgaria
7290 into UTwente, and AM Italia 1323 kHz into Noale SDR. During my
lunch hour, both signals into one recording. But tuning first at 1854
on 1323, nothing on 918 or 207, it`s Jeff White talking about TWR, so
must be `Wavescan` perhaps only a fragment. NEXUS/IBA program schedule
for Friday now shows only 1323 kHz added to streaming at 1800 UT, but
nothing about `Wavescan`, while WOR does show at 1915. Did not follow
exactly what went on in the 1900-1915 period, but at 1913 live check,
7290 has ME music presumably IRRS fill, no trace of 14580 harmonic,
and 1323 has QRM in German, i.e. the minority service from Romania.
This continues to be a problem for the rest of the hour. Distance from
Târgu Muresh in central Romania to Noale, Italy, SDR location is 969
km = 602 stmi, yet it overcomes AM Italia only 53 km = 33 stmi away,
city-to-city distances. 1915 IRRS ID on 7290 and WOR, while on 1323 we
are underneath the German. At 1925 I check how 1323 is making it to
UTwente: JBA mix of WOR and Romania. Still going past 1930 until 1944,
altho in last few minutes of recording I am hearing only one of me,
not sure from which.

Also confirmed at 2139 the 2130 replay on 1323 kHz, now much better
into Noale, S8/12 and no CCI; while to UTwente, 1323 is S9+10 with
some deep fades, and lite CCI under, language uncertain. Also a very
lite squeal audible via both remotes. There are two very low powers in
UK; more in Iran and Tanzania if on at this hour, but language could
be Chinese, i.e. PRC where there are 8 stations totaling 1360 kW, led
by a 600 and a 500. Anyhow, WOR plays to completion 2159, then IRRS
ID, FSN and UN news, 2208 still on with music. Next:

0230 UT Saturday WRMI 9395 to NNW
2030vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM
0030 UT Sunday WRMI 7730 to WNW
0400vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0415; as late as 0530]

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7490.1v), UT Sat Jan 29 at 0100, WBCQ webcast starts
`AAAWWW` but it`s immediately obvious that it`s another repeat of last
week which was a repeat of January 8 with all the Happy New Year
stuff. So never mind. If you wonder what a lot of radio tubes, Allan,
and the gorgeous Angela look like, many photos appear on his feed at
disgraced Twitter:
https://twitter.com/Allanwbcq
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 700 kHz, Jan 28 at 0703 UT, S9 of open carrier dead air from
WLW! Is this a Fox-hole? No, news network is apparently ABC per NRC AM
Log. 0706 cuts back on with `Red Eye Radio`. Obviously nohuman paying
attention at WLW, one of our `great` radio stations. Meanwhile I hear
traces of other signals; KHSE TX is the normal #2 here on 700, but the
Log now shows 8 other US & Canadians at night; and IRCA Mexican Log
shows three there. Try subsequent nights for 700 DX in case the hole
be programmed into automation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1130 kHz, Jan 28 at 2047 UT and still after 2100, KLEY
Wellington KS is modulating! Pop music, on caradio. With KLEY, dead
air is the norm and mod the anomaly, so to be heard how long this may
last (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Jan 28 from 0655
to 0702 UT: 774-2, 837, 846-TP?, 855, 882-2, 909, 999, 1044, 1053,
1098-2, 1107, 1134, 1215*, 1413. *strongest no doubt UK. -2 means at
least two carriers beating (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
