[HCDX] Perseus WAV Files Recorded in Hawaii Available
Dave Aichelman, N7NZH, recently made a trip to Kauai, Hawaii and returned with top of the hour (TOH) and bottom of the hour (TOHH) Perseus WAV recordings of the medium wave band. His compact, phased array antenna was mostly aimed south toward Tahiti and the South Pacific. He used a tent-pole micro-loop (7' X 7') and both an FLG100 and ALA100 antenna head. The ALA100 recordings were done on 6/15 with the TOH aimed south and the TOHH aimed east. The 6/11 recordings were done with the FLG100, both aimed south and were about 10db lower signal level. All recordings have the Hawaii stations on them. You can clearly hear Tahiti, Samoa and what is probably Australia and New Zealand. There are a few surprises also. 1610 appears to have 'The Valley' station from the Carribbean and there were numerous Brazillian stations as well. Dave's WAV files are 904MB and 4GB in size (two each from June 11th and 15th), and they are hosted on my Mediafire.com account. So, give your broadband Internet connection some exercise and download the files from: http://www.mediafire.com/?112tbwh3e9a5c The 4GB files are a full eight minutes long, across the top of the hour. Thanks, Dave, for sharing your Perseus recordings with the DXing community!

[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs June 26, 2012
** ARGENTINA. 11710.76, approx., June 26 at 0200, RAE is signing on English with fair and fluttery signal, off-frequency as always but fortunately nothing to het it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** AUSTRALIA. 6020, June 26 at 1215, R. Ustralia is back to normal, in AM here, DRM on 5990-5995-6000, contrary to yesterday at this hour when 6020 was off and 5995 was in AM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** BRAZIL [and non]. 6180, June 26 at 0156, RNA is reactivated here with loud music causing heavy splash upon unfortunate neighbour 6185 XEPPM, which without that would have been listenable with sufficient modulation. RNA also VG at 0524 with more lively music designed to keep Amazonians awake; why? We may confidently expect RNA to be gone again unpredictably (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. Firedrake June 26 around 1250: none found 11-18 MHz in very poor conditions. It`s the unreasonably low solar flux rather than disturbances. WWV reported: ``Solar-terrestrial indices for 25 June follow. Solar flux 89 and estimated planetary A-index 9. The estimated planetary K-index at 1200 UTC on 26 June was 2. No space weather storms were observed for the past 24 hours. No space weather storms are predicted for the next 24 hours.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** COLOMBIA. 14950, one more check for Salem Stereo relay, June 26 at 0155, nothing heard. No, I will not keep reporting non-loggings, but will keep checking from time to time. You never know when out-of-band-scanning will produce another such treasure (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 15190, June 26 at 0512, no signal from R. Africa, while R. Dabanga was propagating well from Madagascar on 15400. Is anyone still hearing R. Africa at any time? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDONESIA. 9526-, June 26 at 1250, VOI carrier detected, but very weak and no modulation. Since it`s Tuesday, and last week Ron Howard confirmed they were still doing `Exotic Indonesia` with RRI Banjarmasin, I condescended to go to the webcast in order to hear it at all. Live linx are right on homepage http://www.voi.co.id and came up promptly at 1302 in audio-only version (is there really video from studios on the other one?), and heard back-and-forth between Jak and Banj, the latter with hum on the feed, and everything kept hiccuping, and crashing the flash player – either stopping or disappearing completely. Restarted several times until it would not cooperate at all. Even tried the mobile link which wanted to open a Real Player, but that would not connect either. Listening to VOI online is just as frustrating as on SW, but at least you can hear something intermittently. One more problem: very heavy accents from the announcers made them hard to understand even when the audio was working. Yet kudos to VOI for plowing on with dignified attempts at English broad/webcasts even under such daunting circumstances (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** JAPAN [non]. 6110, June 26 at 0524, NHK World R. Japan still on via Sackville, with folk tale about a child-rearing ghost. Also noticed the only other English relay still on the 6120 air around 1215 as it struggled against ever-increasing day-path absorption (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** KOREA SOUTH [non]. 9560, June 26 at *0159, RCI IS and IDs in French and English a few times, 0200 KBS World Radio opening in Spanish. Altho the station name must always be in English, this time it was pronounced with a Spanish accent. Re missing English at 0230-0300 on 9560: I confess to not having tried to hear this for a long time until searching out Sackville relays. I think it was canceled long ago, not in WRTH update, nor HFCC A-12, nor own schedule: http://world.kbs.co.kr/english/about/about_time.htm There is still an hour of English at 0200-0300 on 9580 direct to S America, which is useless in N America with CRI Chinese via Cuba (and I`d think back radiation would also mess it up in S America) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NIGERIA. 15120, June 26 at 0512, no signal from VON, while Africa was propagating well from Madagascar, 15400, R. Dabanga (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** PERU. 6173.9, June 26 at 0204 I notice a significant het upon V. of Vietnam still via Canada, 6175.0, no doubt R. Tawantinsuyo, Cusco. This is exactly the off-frequency just reported for it independently by Pedro F. Arrunátegui, Lima, in Chasqui DX, and as he spells it: ``6173.90, R. Tawuantisuyo, Cusco, 30/05 2320-2340`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 7555, June 26 at 0203, no signal from KJES on the 0100-0230 schedule. The robokids are often missing for weeks at a time and no one cares, eventually to reshow, but eventually it may crash forever (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 7555, June 26 at 0523, WEWN, R. Católica Mundial is on again tonight, unlike last night (Glen

English! But some other word than ``dot``. That site`s transmission schedule presented in English http://www.smzg.org/Schedule_in_English.htm and in Chinese http://www.smzg.org/Schedule_in_Chinese.htm both still claim this 13-14 broadcast in Chinese is on 9920! 1303 on to pop song in English. Anyhow now in the clear with CRI/Sackville defunct [de-funked?] on 9650 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** AUSTRALIA. 5995, June 25 at 1227, RA with interesting item on language diversity concluding `Asia-Pacific` show; good signal here, surely Shepparton, but missing from 6020 which is supposed to be on, and 5995 is supposed to be in DRM from Brandon. Maybe a sign of further schedule disruptions if RA is finally about to get a series of DRM frequencies activated from Shep? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CANADA. THE LAST DAY for RADIO CANADA INTERNATIONAL, June 24: 15330, at 2005 `Maple Leaf Mailbag` sounds awfully familiar; yes, introduced as the ``Pentultimate`` edition, references to June 17 and going to present the final edition a week later. RCI is playing back last week`s show, depriving Terry Haig of his farewell program!! Was it pulled by management as too ``emotional``?? I listened incredulously to the entire hour, again, in case something new was edited in, but it was all the same as last week, ending with song ``Get a Haircut, Get a Real Job``. Then Terry`s final words were ``You people are a total gas. Thank you, thank you, thank you``, into canned closing, a
