Alaska AM DX Audio Logs  View Printable Version 
Monday, November 01 2021

Logs
My location: McGrath, Alaska using a C.Crane Skywave, 5” DeBock FSL
antenna, Zoom H1 digital recorder and Sony MDR7506 headphones. All were
confirmed either by a match to a web stream or known to me with 100 percent
certainty that’s what I was hearing. This isn't all, but is most of what
I’ve logged, some stuff is left out such as weaker stuff I’ve reported
already. I try to keep my logs to stuff that’s interesting for one reason
or another, a new log, exceptionally strong signal given the
circumstances.. something like that!


864kHz Trans World Radio via 1,000,000 Watt Gavar, Armenia transmitter site
on Wed Oct 27 at 1708UTC with some singing by a man and woman followed by a
brief Interval Signal interlude then the start of another program. Signal
is VERY good at times, but does fade out a bit. 5209 mile transpolar path.
Audio: http://bit.ly/Armenia864Oct27_1708utc

936kHz IRIB Radio Azarbyajan Gharbi via 300KW transmitter in Fesanduz, Iran
on Wed Oct 27 at 1640UTC with music followed by a man talking, maybe over
the phone. The signal was good enough and clear enough that Soundhound and
Shazam were able to correctly ID the song. It was getting beat up by
splatter from other stations but overall, a good signal otherwise. 5460
mile transpolar path. Audio: http://bit.ly/Iran936Oct27_16

1053kHz Radio Iași via 400KW transmitter in Iași, Romania on Wed Oct 27 at
1628UTC with some real good Romanian music, good audio quality and good
signal but my local NDB beacon in the background. You see, VTR is running a
blistering 1KW on 350kHz and 1050 is square on it’s 3rd harmonic. 4827 mile
transpolar path. Audio: http://bit.lyRomania1053Oct27_1628utc

NEW! 1179kHz IRIB Radio Iran via 50KW transmitter in Chah Bahar on Wed Oct
27 at 1557utc. This was initially an unknown as MWlist says its on 558kHz
but WRTH still has it on 1179khz. Someone also ID’d the language as Farsi
and said its much more likely to be Iran then the other 1179 in the Middle
east, KuwaitStarts with a woman talking, a music interlude then a man
talking. Near the end of the recording, you can hear it give way to a
Chinese language station. Poor to fair at times, but other times, a good
signal. 5484 mile transpolar path. Audio:
http://bit.ly/Iran1179Oct27_1557utc

NEW! 1188kHz IRIB Radio Payam via 300KW transmitter in Tehran, Iran on Wed
Oct 27 at 1559UTC with music and some talking interspersed. A few seconds
past 1600UTC top of hour, there’s a brief time tone, “Radio Payam” station
id and a few more tones. So rare for me to get a station ID from a non
English speaking station that I can so easily understand. 5460 mile
transpolar path. Audio:

http://bit.ly/Iran1188Oct27_1559utc

NEW! 1260kHz SBA Radio Riyadh via 500KW transmitter in Damman, Saudi Arabia
on Oct 27 at 1602UTC with a woman reading what sounds like a news report
and playing some sound bites followed by some music later on. Not too bad
of a signal for over 6 minutes! 6102 mile transpolar path.

Audio: http://bit.ly/SaudiArabia1260Oct27_1602utc

NEW! 1278kHz IRIB Radio Kermanshah via 200KW transmitter in Kermanshah,
Iran on Wed Oct 27 at 1624UTC with a musical interlude then a female
talking. Weak/noisy signal. 5600 mile transpolar path. Audio:
http://bit.ly/Iran1278Oct27_1624utc

NEW! 1368kHz IRIB Radio Golestan via 150KW transmitter in Gonbad-e Qabus,
Iran on Wed Oct 27 at 1623UTC with some talking, a brief musical interlude
and more talking. Noisy and poor signal. 5308 mile transpolar path. Audio:
http://bit.ly/Iran1368Oct27_1623utc

1395kHz Public Radio of Armenia via 400kw transmitter in Gavar, Armenia on
Wed Oct 27 at 1617UTC with man talking. The signal fades out a bit and
comes back with music for a bit, before yet another fade down and rise up.
On peaks, pretty good signal. 5209 mile transpolar path. Audio:
http://bit.ly/Armenia1395Oct27_1617utc

1449kHz IRIB World Service via 400kw transmitter in Bandar-e Torkman, Iran
on Sat Oct 23 at 1637UTC with female in turkmen language, with what sounded
like a news report. Slight het from 250 Watt KLAM 1450 but pretty good
signal for nearly 3 minutes. 5835 mile transpolar path. Audio:
http://bit.ly/Iran1449Oct23_1637utc

NEW! 1467kHz IRIB Radio Qom via 100KW Transmitter in Qom, Iran on Oct 27 at
1650UTC with music. Signal was brief but very good! 5460 mile transpolar
path. Audio:

http://bit.ly/Iran1467Oct27_1650utc

1512kHz IRIB Radio Ardabill via 50KW transmitter in Ardabill, Iran on Wed
Oct 27 at 1611UTC with a man talking, sounds like he’s on the phone..
There’s a musical interlude, and more talking. The signal is exceptionally
clear and strong at times especially considering the power level! I’ve yet
to log the 1 megawatt Saudi on 1512! 5320 mile transpolar path. Audio:

Roe

** NORTH AMERICA. 6965-USB, Oct 31 at 0044, pirate music S5-S6
into same Georgia SDR I had for WRMI/WOR check
earlier. Too much else is going on Saturday nights to keep with it,
but almost-Hallowe`en should lead to increased piracy. 0109 recheck,
now SSTV beepery until 0111*. WOR iog member Bob Butterfield in
Columbia, Maryland was also monitoring and says this was Wolverine
Radio. Many more logs here including the cheesecake SSTV:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,88420.0.html
It was a Hallowe`en show but not keyed to a specific word (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950-USB, Oct 31 at 0045, only other pirate audible
is here, loud rockmusic S4-S5, but gone by 0050. Bob Butterfield also
reports this, as Outhouse Radio. Many more logs here including several
fuzzy SSTVs:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,88417.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6100, Sun Oct 31 at 0703 I am unfortunately still awake so
check all the RHC 49m frequencies for weekly Esperanto show,
supposedly on this one, but it and all others are off. Presumably from
next week with DST just over, the nominal time will be 0800 UT
Sundays. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 13605, Oct 31 at 1426, noise jamming against
nothing, as Radio Martí has just made its habitual and totally
predictable B-season switch to 13820 where it`s VG with no jamming
audible. The incompetent DentroCuban Jamming Command are always
playing catch-up, eventually (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Sun Oct 31 at 1509, RHC weekly Esperanto confirmed
still here, S9/+10 but undermodulated; // 11760 even less modulated.
Something`s always wrong at RHC. Presumably these go to 1600 Sundays
from next week (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 7390, Oct 31 at 1427, music S9+10 with flutter,
presumed RNZI on its new B-21 frequency. This is advantageous for us N
American outliers, holds up longer and further into dayside than any
49mb frequency. Schedule on 7390 is 1259-1650 except Sat to 1758, the
day off for DRM. Reactivated 11725 also audible after 0700 but only
fair. It now runs 0659-1258 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 18, 62-7 KOPX, Oct 31 at 0445 UT, I see a new
subchannel ``Newsy``. I had not noticed a -7 until I saw it mentioned
on OKCtalk. It`s owned by Scripps, supposedly no-frills all-news,
originally a pay-cable channel, but changed to OTA, not cable at all,
rolled out Oct 1 on ION subchannels which Scripps now owns, and per
rabbitears.info already in a whole lot of markets including majors,
not least #50, OKC. But does it have a default far-right agenda like
OAN, Newsmax, even the disappointing NewsNation out of WGN? Will have
to watch it some, or find some reviews. Here`s their asserted plan:

https://www.nexttv.com/news/why-newsy-over-the-air-wont-look-like-cable-news
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Oct 31 at 1510, REE now on B-21 frequencies including
this for N America, but of course it`s a JBA carrier over full-day
path and should be on 11, 13 or even 15 MHz band before descending
after dark. 11940 for S America is also JBA carrier; 11670 to Africa
slightly better JBA and not on 11685; but best by far for us is
reactivated 12030, S9/+10 off the back toward Mideast; disposable
anyway now in stupid sports talk. M/W/F English will now be at 2300 UT
ex-2200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 341-MCW kHz, Oct 31 at 0647 UT, ND beacon DNI, 25 watts from
Sherman/Denison TX on the wrong side of the River Red; still in
absence of EI Enid, and of its usual #2, OIN Oberlin KS (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2110 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
October 30 starting at 1957 UT on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, Wentzville MO, only
S5-S7 into nearby SDR.

Also confirmed Sat Oct 30 at 2330 on WRMI 5950, S9+22/27 into Georgia
SDR.

Also confirmed UT Sun Oct 31 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, good direct.

Also confirmed UT Sun Oct 31 at 0327 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, about 11
minutes into so started circa 0316. S9+8 but ACI de LSB with band full
of contesters including 1866-LSB K3LR CQ Contest, and someone on
1856-LSB.

Also confirmed Sun Oct 31 at 1330.5 on WMRI Europe via Channel 292,
Germany, 9670, already a sesquiminute into so started early at 1329.
S8-S9 into UTwente, not as good as before when at 1230, but
propagation is probably degraded today. Worse, there is heavy ACI from
9665 with CRI Russian S9+15, no doubt via EAST TURKISTAN but no such
transmission found in A-21 or B-21 schedules; tho EiBi shows CNR5
Cross-Strait Radio long before and after this hour. Need to tune USB
to lessen it a bit, but also China radio war continues on 9680, S9+20.
Maybe Ireland be at a better skip distance? Galway SDR gets it no
better, 9670 weaker at S6-S8, but ACI also weaker. 9670 is aimed
toward N America, so how about Maryland SDR? It is JBA S4/S5 but
hardly sufficient on 9 MHz over a full-day path. Next:

2100 UT Sunday IRRS 918-Italy [ex-2000]
2230 UT Sunday WRMI 5950 to NNW
2230 UT Sunday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE {pre-empted Oct 31}
0030 UT Monday WRMI 7730 to WNW; 9395 to NNW, 9455 to WNW
0230 UT Monday WRN webcast, expected ex-0130
0300vUT Monday WBCQ 6160v Area 51 to WSW
1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 7780 to NE
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW, 9455 to WNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

Note: from Nov 7, WBCQ, WA0RCR and some but not all WRMI times shift
one real UT hour later

Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re `AAAWWW` on WBCQ Oct 30, John Carver replies: ``Glenn,
Reading through your log postings today and seeing my report in print,
it occurs to me that I left something out. The second time Allan
started talking about the superstation and how well it was working,
Angela reminded him that they still could not change the antenna
configuration. Allan said that was true but what they were using now
was working just fine. Sorry. John, Mid-North Indiana`` I reply:

```John, OK, but don`t be sorry. I remember hearing that part myself
but did not note it down. But I`m not sure exactly what ``antenna
configuration`` mean. Obviously they are rotating it again. Maybe
means stuck on one frequency only. 73, Glenn``` -- and John replies:

``Well sir. I could be wrong but wasn't one of the selling points of
the antenna was that it could be configured as several different
dipoles, a single radiator, a curtain array etc. I'm not really a tech
guy and it's been a long time since I heard someone explain the
antenna's different functions so am sucking most of it out of my
thumb. I just assumed that was what was meant by can't change
configuration. John`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (5085), Oct 30 at 2354, WTWW-2 webcast once again has
already started `Theater Organ Under the Arch`, not music now but
presumed George Wright talking about his early organic experiences;
music after 0000 Oct 31, but 0030 recheck, now with heavily percussed
jazz in $ so TOUTA is over already, not an hour long or started way
earlier? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Logs
** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Oct 30 at 1518, once again AWOL any
Saturday sending of LRA36, no signal into Brazil SDR; but see
UNIDENTIFIED 15475.00 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 17800, S9+10 into Maryland SDR. Single speaker or
speakerine ? one of those ambiguous-gender voices IMO, but s/he`s
definitely a human, not a robot, marine meteo info for Mini-TransAt
yacht race, alternates English and French from 1523 tune-in; 1532
sign-off only in French, some frenetic music ending with two gunshots
--- ``you`re dead!``? or ``they`re off!``.

Open carrier stays on 1533 past 1546, as available, paid for? until
1600, but finally cut off at 1558* just after I notice an SAM
frequency offset reading constantly oscillating between +60 and +90
Hz, typical of one of the Issouduns.

So the race from Canary to Guadeloupe has resumed, and already the
B-21 frequency, ex-13735. Tnx to a reminder from Arthur Pozner near
NYC at 1514 that it was on already.

Also note that another block is now registered, 17800 at 1700-1900;
will it be used? At 1654 I`m back on 17800 via same SDR, and somelang
is already running. Per Aoki that`s also Issoudun, with DW in Amharic
at 1600-1700. 1658 bit of music to cutoff at 1658.6*.

17795-17800-17805, Oct 30 at *1700, guess what, DRM noise has cut on,
and I can hear it via a Virginia SDR, labeled as ``1AAC (1000)
Minitransat TDF EEP Data 8.08 kbps``. It`s steady S9+5. SNR 19 dB
keeps falling to 16 then back up. DRM mode is B. MSC 64 QAM. Medium
range use, multipath resistant. Some buffering but mostly 100%
readable.

In French only at first, with weather conditions at various current
dates and times. 1708 ``now we are going to do the weather in
English``, positions of high and low pressure areas, with kilopascals?
``hpa``? etc. forecasts as of 12 UTC until Wed 3 November. 1711 to
forecasts by zones starting with Canaries, winds in knots and
direxions, at 00 and 12 UTC. These data might be more convenient
visibly than audibly, but I see no such display.

At 1718 breaking up but seems to be giving boat positions bilingually?
More buffering interruptions now. 1731 ``thank you very much`` as if
closing, same music as a bihour ago I now recognize as a James Bond
theme; drops out when gunshots might have fired. But then some other
music, and 1734 French meteo again, probably repeat of 1700 and I tune
out. Recheck at 1805, now there is no AM nor DRM on 17800.

BTW these transmissions are not in latest HFCC for B-21 as of Oct 28,
showing DW not only at 16-17 but also 18-19 in Hausa as an alternate
frequency. But the 15-16 & 17-18 hours on 17800 are open (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA NORTH. 9445.148V, Oct 30 at 0614, somewhat surprised to hear
a long recitation of English transmissions with targets and
frequencies, from VOK, apparently considering imminent B21 season in
case there be any changes; 0617 finally into a song. How great it must
be to inhabit this paradise with such sweet serenades! Not only way
off-frequency, but waVering slightly. Something`s always kooky at
Kujang, Korea (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 407-MCW kHz, Oct 30 at 0655 UT, ND beacon OOC, which is 25
watts from Nachitoches, Louisiana. I was tuned to 405-USB, where I
normally hear 407 HRU Herington KS, but nothing from it now. OOC must
be new to me.

Not to be confused with Nacogdoches, Texas. The one in LA is SE of
Shreveport midway to Alexandria, also the name of a parish, violating
Separation of Church and State. The one in TX is SW of Shreveport,
close to Lufkin, and also a county name. Its beacons are GXD on 391
and OC on 253. One wonders if both names be corruptions of the same
original native name? I search out this info:

``Natchitoches City in Louisiana. Sounds like NA·kuh·tuhsh. What is
the meaning of Natchitoches? Others say it comes from the native word
“nacicit,” which translates to “a place where the soil is the color of
red ochre.” However, today the generally accepted translation is the
“Paw Paw People” or “Place of the Paw Paw.” Aug 3, 2017``

``People also ask, What does the name Nacogdoches mean? Nacogdoches -
the oldest town in Texas - is named for the Caddo family of Indians
who once lived in the area. ... Nacogdoches remained a Caddo Indian
settlement until 1716 when Spain established a mission here, Nuestra
Señora de Guadalupe de los Nacogdoches. Feb 3, 2003``

``Welcome to Nacogdoches! Nacogdoches (NAK-ə-DOH-chiss) is a town of
33,000 people with a median age of 30.6. Our name is long, but
memorable. Known as "The Pineywoods," you might have heard our name
once before in a Josh Abbott Band lyric, "Her eyes are green like the
trees in Nacogdoches."

``Nacogdoches is a city in Nacogdoches County, Texas, in the United
States. The 2010 U.S. Census recorded the city's population to be
32,996. It is the county seat of Nacogdoches County and is situated in
East Texas. Nacogdoches is a sister city of Natchitoches, Louisiana.
Nacogdoches is the home of Stephen F. Austin State University and
Texas' largest Azalea garden. The city made international headlines in
February 2003 from the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster.``

Lots more info there including how to write it in 16 other languages
and how to sign-it, spelling. But I digress; but isn`t this a lot more
interesting than a one-liner beacon log? Each of which can be a
potential learning experience (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7489.9v), UT Sat Oct 30 at 0000, WBCQ webcast with
`AAAWWW`; interjexion during theme: ``No more!`` First topic: Angela
and others riding horses. I dip in & out only occasionally; 0013 now
it`s about ``wonderful pigs`` which are as smart as a 3-year-old
[human] child; advocating veg/mediterranean diet instead. 0030 reading
a piece about voting. 0049 finally date stamp as 29th of October,
YOOLF 2021; trimulcasting on 7490, 6160, 4790.

SuperStition is back on air fulltime, 500,000 watts with same Ampegon
antenna, boosting to 20 megawatts [ERP] wherever it`s aimed. Tnx to
Continental engineers for fixing the transmitter. [Certain hours it`s
registered for 250 kW half-power, isn`t it?] Religious programming is
our backbone, even if you don`t like the way it is presented. Some
phone calls interspersed; 0056 sounds like Annoying Freddie, usual
prayer wrapup and over. John Carver`s version:

``Tonight's show started more or less on time on 4790, 6160 and 7490
with 7490 having the best signal for me. Allan and Angela in the
studio talking about Angela riding horses bareback today. Allan was
surprised by the number of children riding bareback today and using
both hands to stay on the horses and unable to hold devices in their
hands. As usual the talk morphs and touches on several topics
including diet and alcohol. Then morphs into blaming all of today's
problems on our current government that we have now. Allan then reads
a piece sent in by Ross from the Cape. Phone call at 0036 from Rabishu
with a reception report and then some comments.

The discussion continues after the phone call is over and Allan pleads
for people to wake up and take steps to save the Republic that he
loves so dearly and lists some suggestions that would help them to do
so. Phone call at 0046 from Bill Smith who has sent them some pictures
in the email and they talk about those for a bit. After that phone
call Allan then talks about the superstation and says it's back up
again full time.

Phone call at 0050 from the pastor that has been calling every week of
late. Then back to a little more about the superstation and that it's
running just fine at full power and thanks to the crews that helped
them. Another phone call at 0056 from Freddie who has also emailed
them a picture and Allan comments on that. Reading some emails at 0058
including one from Larry Will informing him that the episodes of Tasha
Takes Control have been added to the stations archive. Closing prayer
at 0059 and off the air just a bit after 0100. John, Mid-North
Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15475.00-USB, Oct 30 at 1518, as I am checking a Brasil
SDR for LRA36, missing again this Saturday, I do detect some USB
slightly below, which is 2-way in colloquial Spanish. Such INTRUDER
QRM to Antarctica has been noticed before. One of them has ``engine
noise`` in background, smuggling aircraft? Only brief exchange but I
keep monitoring; another one at 1537, alerted by a whistle (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
