[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs February 22, 2012

[Glenn Hauser]

** ANGUILLA. 6090 was back on air Feb 22 around 0645, but now it`s 
TUN/DGS/PMS/CB`s 11775 that is missing at 1336, 1437 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11780, Feb 22 at 0654, RNA still not on the air; maybe exhausted 
from Carnaval? But 11765 SRDA Curitiba is audible with weak wailing from David 
Miranda, so propagation is certainly favorable (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

** CHINA. Firedrake Feb 22:
11500, poor at 1338, off at 1400*. None in the 12s, 13s or 14s. But 11500 is 
back on at 1438, fair with flutter
12230, good at 1438
12300, very poor at 1438; none in the 13s, 14s, 15s, 16s, 17s by 1443
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MYANMAR. 7110, Feb 22 at 1329, vocal music heard better than usual, SINPO 
24322, then YL talk, news on the hour at 1330? This was originally reported to 
be Rakhine broadcasting station, but via Alokesh Gupta, Babul Gupta now says it 
is Thazin Broadcasting Station with announced schedule as 1030-1430 on 7110, 
2330-0130 on 6030, 0430-0630 on 9400, and on MW 639 thruout, which is also new, 
not in WRTH.

So how did 7110 get identified as Rakhine before? What is the axual transmitter 
site? My atlases don`t have Thazin, but there is a Thazi small town in Mandalay 
state just west of Taunggyi in Shan state 
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND. 11670-11675-11680, Feb 22 at 0653, DRM noise no doubt from RNZI 
once again, instead of scheduled 13725-13730-13735, as analog 11725 is in well. 
Adrian Sainsbury says he is looking into this anomaly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX 
LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN [and non]. 11910, Feb 22 at 1349, incomprehensible language, Basque of 
course from REE relay via Beijing site, fair and clear; is about one word 
behind 17595 direct from Noblejas, and further ahead of Cariari 15170. 

So I make a point of checking the closing: at 1356, 11910 is already in REE IS 
until 1357* while the other two are not running IS. A minute later at 1358, the 
REE IS comes up as usual on 7435 and 7220, both very poor, prior to CRI`s 
Nepali service via Kunming site. It`s all a matter of ChiCom program feed 
routing being misaligned as it has been for over two years at least. Obviously 
no one is paying attention at SARFT, tho if a pipsqueak SOH transmitter pop up 
on a new frequency they jump jamming right onto it. Also, before REE IS came on 
7435, something else was weakly audible there, presumably CRI Chinese via 
Nanning site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9330v-CUSB, Feb 22 at 0636, WBCQ once again in open carrier/dead air; 
still/again dead at next check 1306, but modulation of GFRN/Radio 2:11 had 
resumed by 1358. This seems to be the rule rather than the exception, yet the 
program schedule
http://schedule.wbcq.com/main.php?fn=sked&freq=9330
continues to show GFRN 24h a day except for 23-24 M-F `Money Talks` (Glenn 
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

[HCDX] DX Loggings - Ralph Perry - 22 Feb

[Ralph Perry]

PERU - 6173.89, presumed Radio Tawantinsuyu, Cusco, hrd 2/22 1008 tune-in and 
holding up past 1052.  Weak to fair signal strength only.  Reception best with 
narrowest bandwidth and in ECSS-LSB with notch deployed to knock out annoying 
het from Asian station on 6175.00.  Couple OMs alternating in SS and 
occasionally presumed QQ.  Odd programming this morning, no music at all, and 
at first mistakenly thought might be taped replay from sporting event, from 
night before (had a bit of that kind of cadence to the announcements).  But 
then noted many clear, livet/cks in a "doubling-up" kind pattern throughout 
entire program of  " . . . las cinco de la manana, las cinco de 
la manana, amigos oyentes.  Adelante!! . . ."  (almost as if the minutes didn't 
matter, hi.)  So, was a live bcst.  Most of the time, only fragments of speech 
were decipherable, such as at 1017, " . . . muy buenos dias, Cusco . . . la 
primera voz . . . de la patria . . ."   Taped ads were noted at 1024 and 1047, 
during which hrd different, more bassy-voiced man in studio echo effect.   
Almost sounded like live feed from remote, but at 5:30 a.m. in Cusco that 
doesn't make too much sense. Not sure what this was, but could have been live 
feed from Ash Wednesday morning procession or something else like that.  "Back 
in the day" this would have likely been a peticiones program, with greetings 
being passed to remote family members and friends.   In any event, very nice to 
hear them poking a hole in the ether, been trying to hear them ever since I 
reactivated on SWBC DXing a year ago.  First time heard by me in 25 years and 
always a sentimental
 station, as I visited them at Avenida del Sol back in 1976.   Will be 
diligently patrolling this fqy in the mornings now and hoping for better 
conditions soon.  (Perry, Illinois)

[HCDX] DX Loggings - Ralph Perry - 22 Feb (Resending)
