Free Chosun via RVA PHILIPPINES playing as always ``At 17`` in English musical pr?lude. Today it`s pretty fluttery, more so than 9800 VOA Tinang (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 1640, Feb 5 at 1516, KZLS, Enid-Hennessey-OKC, Reid Mullins, reactivated talkhost ex-KTOK, is saying that there will still be 21 hours of True Oldies from 10 am (16 UT), until his next show tomorrow morning at 7 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** PERU. 5980, Feb 5 at 0104, R. Chaski carrier until cut off at 0105:32*, which is 27.5 seconds later than last check 5 nights earlier on UT Jan 31 at 0105:4.5, keeping up the average of 5.5 seconds later per night. I expect the autotimer to be reset to circa 0100 within the next week (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1706 monitoring: confirmed final broadcast this week on WRMI, 9955, Wednesday Feb 5 at 1400-1429 complete, following a gh ID which Jeff always seems to be playing just before WOR. VG reception as always on the NW antenna after 1400. WORLD OF RADIO 1707 monitoring: confirmed first broadcast this week on WRMI, 9955, UT Thursday Feb 6 at 0430; sufficient reception. Next: Thursday 1330 on WRMI 9955 Thursday 2201 on WTWW 9475 UT Friday 0426v on WWRB 3195 Saturday 0730 & 1530 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB UT Sunday 0030 on WRMI 9495 UT Sunday 0030 on WTWW 5085 UT Sunday 0501 on WTWW 5830 UT Monday 0400v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB Tuesday 1200 on WRMI 9955 Wednesday 0730 & 1530 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB Wednesday 1400 on WRMI 9955 Remember our podcasts now available via http://www.rmrc.de Look down the menu on the left (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 9495, Feb 5 at 0047 check, Keith Perron with a `Media Network Plus` with bloopers of trying to make phone contact with someone, of Sat Dec 28, judging from his plug for upcoming Dec 29 special broadcast. Perhaps a regular occupant of this extra RMI hour on UT Wednesdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 12050, Feb 5 at 2038 check, WEWN is off, but 13830 is very much on with squeal, and also English on 15610 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 9345-9405 approx., Feb 5 at 1512, buzz at the same pitch as heard on 9370 WWRB with lousy Brother Scare audio feed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 7506.6, Feb 6 at 0250, no signal from WRNO. I was checking since someone recently reported they had returned to 7505, or even lower (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1140, Feb 5 at 0645 UT, I am nulling XEMR looking for some US station, since someone thought he might be hearing WBXR in AL which is supposed to be a daytimer; don`t hear that, but I find one with C2CAM, sounds like same subject as on countless other affiliates, mentioning ``mansions`` and confirmed as such by tuning to WOAI 1200, which is always running way behind most of the others. Most likely WRVA in Richmond VA, confirmed on the C2CAM website as an affiliate, tho I have not searched the whole thing for any other 1140s. I remember how pleased I was sesquidecades ago when I first picked up WRVA for a new state in OKC; IIRC, KLPR and XEMR at night were not factors. I have visually searched the 2014 NRC AM Log and find KNWQ Palm Springs CA is also a `B` station, but unlikely here and may not be on C2C this early. A TN station is also shown as a B-affiliate, even tho it`s a daytimer?? Would you believe there is even another 1140 in Virginia? Daytimer in the western tip, possible because per NRC Pattern Book, WRVA 50 kW has a NW/SE direxional pattern day & night. Which means it`s still a good catch in OK. Palm Springs throws what power it has southwestward into San Diego and the Pacific (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 1170, Feb 5 at 0655 UT, still trying to pull an ID from a SS with KFAQ Tulsa nulled, making 72/minute SAH = 1.2 Hz; seems to be quoting Bible when KFAQ fades a bit (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 0557 UT February 6 ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Thu, 6 Feb 2014 08:44:59 -0800 (PST) From: Glenn Hauser <wghau...@yahoo.com> To: d...@yahoogroups.com Cc: s...@mailman.qth.net Subject: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs February 6, 2014 Message-ID: <1391705099.93186.yahoomailba...@web161306.mail.bf1.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 ** BELIZE [and non]. 21305-USB, Feb 6 at 1520, German-accented V31TF is ``listening 5 up``. Says he`s on vacation in northern Belize by the Mexican border; makes some contacts but says will QSY to 12 or 10m for better propagation. I had also noticed much more ham activity on those bands than 15 for some reason, tho Spain was in well enough on 21610 and 21630, Kuwait barely on 21540. (A German in Germany was audible on 24960-USB at 1511 in a pileup (for FT5ZM, nominal 24955?), DL0AZ.) Yes, he`s German, per illustrated setup at http://www.qrz.com/db/V31TF V31TF Belize Torsten Fechner Liegnitzerstrasse 7 85221 Dachau Germany DXpedition of DG7RO to North-Belize, Consejo Shores, Corozal District (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** KURDISTAN [non]. 11510, Feb 6 at 1442, nice Kurdish music concert and good signal with flutter from Denge Kurdistane, presumably via PRIDNESTROVYE. 1501 switches to Kurdish talk (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U K. 11825, Feb 6 at 1505, open carrier, dead air on good signal with flutter. Wake up in Woofferton! Scheduled is VOA Radio Ashna in Dari during this semihour; exposed by the departure of Brother Scare from this frequency all day via WRMI. Perhaps Ashna audio came back at 1530 with site switch to Kuwait (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 11715-, Feb 6 at 1504, KJES, Vado NM, goes from music to recitations in English, barely modulated as usual, but very strong signal, possibly aimed this way from rotatable log-periodic. Very slightly on the low side of frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1140, Feb 6 at 1400 UT, in QRM, partial ID in English mentioning 1140 and 102.9 FM. That matches listing for KCXL Liberty MO (Kansas City). Since hearing ``Univisi?n Kansas City`` mentioned in Spanish on 1140, Jan 29 at 1337 UT and also 1140 y 102.9, I have been trying to confirm that it`s really KCXL in Spanish ex-English. But apparently not. Possibly that was just a commercial for the Univisi?n TV outlet in Kansas City. Dave Hughes in KCMO also checked 1140 for me, at a totally different daypart after 0600 UT Feb 5 and found it still in English altho with QRM in Spanish, which at that hour was probably XEMR. Feb 6 and previous mornings, in the 1330-1400 UT period, I`ve only been getting a mix of KRMP OK, KLTK AR (not KTLK as I once typoed), and KSOO SD, until the log above (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1707 monitoring: confirmed on WRMI-10, 9955, Thursday Feb 6 from 1330:11, after gh ID; despite the slightly late start, not cut off at the end a few seconds after 1359 when Scoreboard starts. Transmitter/antenna switch from SSE to NW occurred before 1359 at the start of the propagation outlook, causing a great surge in strength here; before that, pulse jamming had been audible underneath.
