[HCDX] New DXpedition report from Finland

2007-01-15 Thread Mika Makelainen
If driving hundreds of miles just to listen to the radio isn't crazy enough, 
picture this: I flew thousands of miles from Washington D.C. to Finland to try 
to pick up stations from around Washington D.C. Well, going to Finland was 
really a Christmas vacation trip, but a DXpedition to Lemmenjoki was a vital 
ingredient of it. Fortunately we had some leeway in the timing so that both I 
and fellow DXer Jari Ruohomäki were able to head north right after Christmas to 
enjoy improving conditions until the expected rise in solar activity would hit 
in early January...

[HCDX] Pre-book review Ham Radio Culture

2007-01-15 Thread cafe
Just bought the book:

Ham Radio's Technical Culture (Hardcover) by Kristen Haring 
Have given it a quick flip through.
Will do a thorough read and pass along my sentiments.

In my brief, in-book store scan, I found the book to
be amusing, compelling and somewhat poignant.
I think the author, a gal, had a dad who was an
Amateur and she totally pegs the social-psychological
aspects of the hobby in the 60's and 70's -
and how, in some ways, we Amateurs and radio hobbyists
are the grandfathers(mothers) and greatfathers(mothers)
of this 21-century geek generation.

A good read I believe it will be, yes!

[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs January 12-15

2007-01-15 Thread Glenn Hauser
** BRAZIL [and non]. RHC, 6060, had some pretty heavy CCI, Jan 15 at 0635; at
first I thought it was Spanish. There was a pronounced SAH, so obviously from a
separate transmitter. After 0700 in the clear with a screaming preacher in
Portuguese, so no doubt the listed Brazilian here, R. Tupi, Curitiba, 24 hours
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [and non]. Firedrake with VG S9+20 signal on 9200, Jan 15 at 1456.
Recheck at 1503, it was off, and then back on a few seconds before 1505.
Presumably vs Sound of Hope but nothing else audible here during the break.
Also at 1514, // Firedrake on 9450 and this one mixing with some other audio,
reported to be SOH from a higher-powered transmitter, and by now 9200 FD was
much weaker. Then at 1612 something odd accompanying the FD on 9200. Another
carrier was rapidly changing frequency back and forth roughly between 9195 and
9225, causing variable hets as it went past other signals, some of them
utility. When it paused briefly on 9205 I could hear some indistinguishable
audio. If this was SOH, it was not an effective countermeasure to the jamming
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CYPRUS. Rather surprised to hear Arabic on 6030, Jan 15 at 1423 with BBC
Extra English explaining the word ``mesmerised``. This is listed as Cyprus site
aimed eastward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CZECH REPUBLIC [non]. R. Prague via WRMI, 7385, Sunday Jan 14 at 1510
starting Insight Central Europe, and mentioning that it is only on certain ones
of their Saturday broadcasts. Last I checked, this relay had the current day`s
transmission, but now it seems to be one day late, like the Sackville 15160
relay at 1500 used to be. Maybe caused by WRMI no longer getting the audio thru
WRN? (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn: Yes, I think that is the case (Jeff White, WRMI, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

And Monday Jan 15 at 1451, Mailbox, which is on their Sunday schedule,
mentioning new 2007y QSL cards --- that broadcast started very early; at 1444
it had been Viva Miami in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GABON. Afropop Music Distraxion, Jan 15 at 1452 was on 17685. Usually it`s
below CVC on 17680. ANU also at similar level in French on 17630, S9+20. At
1454 found // ANU harmonic 19160, S9+12 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. GREEK IN STYLE -- Am listening to this show on webcast (convenient
play link in MONITORING REMINDERS CALENDAR at 0030 UT Monday, soon to be moved
up.) which started at 0011 UT Monday Jan 15. A Marina Xranzi (sp?) produxion,
hosted this week by Andriana Petrato (sp?). Starts with orchestral music for
Chariots of Fire, then more cinemusic. Yes, presented in English. Presumably
also on SW 7475, et al.? Followed  IS/IDs partly in English, NA, sign-on
and news headlines in Greek; lasted until 0103, so a 52-minute show (Glenn
Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO [and non]. I keep monitoring 6045, which is almost certainly XEXQ-OC
on an expanded schedule, testing? Jan 14 at 0604 during the half-hour KBSWR
Spanish broadcast to Europe via Sackville (including DX program Antena de la
Amistad at 0610, including fortnightly contribution from Rubén Guillermo
Margenet), which happens to put a fine signal into CNAm too, I could hear
classical music under, with a SAH. All set for it to be in clear after 0629,
but instead the Sackville carrier stayed on well past 0635. I then noticed that
the SAH rate was fluxuating slightly, just like I had months ago in the
1300/1400 period when XEXQ was mixing with some other station, indicating that
XEXQ`s carrier is unstable, but not enough to notice otherwise. Checked again
at 1448, I could hear classical piano music, now squeezed between two FE
stations. 

Jan 15, another check of 6045, at 0632 no Sackville carrier, just short
classical music pieces, and at 0650, Recuerdos de la Alhambra, on guitar, at
the same time as several nights ago! So they must be playing the same music
over and over; blocked after *0700 by CVC 6050. Another check the next morning
at 1416 found some more classical guitar music, 1418 YL ID in Spanish but all I
could definitely catch was ``250 watts de potencia``, and into flute music;
still barely audible at 1523 with classical piano (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. XEPPM, R. Educación, made another of its unscheduled daytime
appearances on 6185. Jan 15 at 1521 found good signal during interview show
about some ``obra`` being presented for 23 performances starting Jan 19 at
Teatro de la Paz, Cozumel 33. I never caught the title of it, nor whether it
was theatrical, operatic, musical, or what. 1537 mentioned ``en su casa`` and
the title of the 9-10 am show, per playlist, is ``SU CASA Y OTROS VIAJES``.
Steady 12 over S9 signal; when rechecked at 1550, it was gone. Did they forget
to turn off the SW transmitter at 1200, or is this deliberate for some reason?
Wish they would run more in daytime, free of QRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING

[HCDX] Amend my 6165 log

2007-01-15 Thread ka4prf
Please amend my 6165 CNR6 1000-1055 log from today and add the following:

Parallel frequency of 9170 KHz comes on the air at 1100 UTC and has some 
identical
characteristics that occurred at 1000.  First the fanfare music and second a 
brief segment
of Beethoven's 9th Symphony of the Choral, but performed by a singing group. 
Checking
6165 at 1155 UTC when Radio Nederland ceased, both 9170 and 6165 were identical
broadcasts with 9170 KHz being the better signal.

Thanks

[HCDX] CNR6

2007-01-15 Thread ka4prf
China, 6165, CNR6, (Voice of Shenzhou),(Pres) 1000-1045  Comes on the air at 
1000 with musical fanfare type music.   At that time, signal is poor and mixing 
with privious Chinese Station
on this freq.  By 1010, things have smoothed out and CNR6 continues with a good 
signal. 
The format from then continues with a popular Chinese(?) song and comments and 
intro
by a female.   At 1035 a canned English bit was heard as, "Number Seven!".  At 
1041 a
second canned English bit heard as, "Number Five!"  I guess I missed Number Six 
somehow?
 The Identication of this was made by Alan Davies of http://www.Asiawaves.net.  
Sometime prior to 1100, Radio Nederland usually comes up with their carrier and 
blocks this freq at my location (Clewiston, Florida, USA) for an hour until 
1100 UTC.  Today Radio Nederland's carrier came
on at 1055 UTC.  Until that time, the signal for CNR6 was good. This is 
presumebly the unident I have been reporting on 6165 KHz for the past week.  
Until I get a clear ID, I can't be
certain?   (Chuck Bolland, January 15, 2007)

Yesterday afternoon I tried to find clandestine "Sawt al-Amal"

non-stop african music on 17660 kHz. I listened to it about
20 minutes. Then sign off without any speaking. What is this
