Gary Pence (Km5x) log, s for October 31 (10m beacons part 2 from KB1VWC rSDR, Cape Cod, MA.FN41rn (Gary Pence) -- Message: 1 Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2022 06:24:03 + From: Volodya S To: wor Subject: [HCDX] Masset musings from mid October Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" My apologies for not getting this out sooner, but life got in the way! In any case, a good and varied selection of loggings from Masset, BC, off the NW coast of BC and due south of the Alaskan Panhandle. Conditions during the earlier weeks were excellent on the shortwaves, but deteriorated during my last few days there. Nick Hall-Patch, renowned MW DXer joined me for the final 6 days there, where we overhauled all of my antennas and reconfigured the remote shack and the SDRs. In addition, we constructed a new 110/290 deg DKAZ antenna which is larger and quieter than a previous DKAZ which I constructed about a year ago. As always, any errors are mine alone, and comments are always welcome! 73, Walt Salmaniw ALASKA 3200, 2120-2240, HAARP Oct 22 Tuned in and sure enough, there HAARP with sweep tones pretty much continuously to past 22:00 (they were scheduled between 21:00 and 22:00 to run something called a VLF Amplification) until off somewhere around 22:40. Fair, sometimes good reception. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC) ALASKA 5400, 0619-, HAARP Oct 23 Listening to first night of Amanda Dawn Christie's experiment via HAARP. Excellent level, following each frequency, or combination of frequencies: 4.85, 4.80 (marred by CODAR), 5.4 MHz, 9.5 MHz, 3.3 MHz, Very strong into Masset, BC. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC) ALASKA 5800, 0415-, HAARP Oct 23 Following HAARP tonight. They started this hour centered on 4800 kHz, with buzzy carriers every 20 kHz over a span of about 400 kHz. As soon as they went off this channel, they jumped to 5800 kHz. Very strong into Masset! Cut suddenly just before 04:20 UTC, and 30 seconds later, started up centered on 6800. Slightly weaker. They then proceeded to move up as per their schedule to 7.35, 8.05 (7.35 center from 04:29:40 to 04:40, and 8.05 MHz from a few seconds after that to 04:50, and then switching to centered on 9600 (actually 9595) and presumed they'll go to the top of the hour. This test is called the satellite instrument calibration. Test ended, sure enough just before 05:00. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC) ALASKA 9600, 2345-, HAARP Oct 22 Noted an open carrier with intermittent on/off, lasting a few seconds at a time. This one was scheduled from 22:00 to 24:00, and was called GIOS HF Ocean Scatter, and was very strong into Masset. Then, near 00:00, a very wide band buzz centered on 9600 and 25 kHz on each side began continuously. I can only assume it's them! Off at 00:05:40, but back again at 00:06:09. Off at 00:11:40. Back at 00:12:05. This test is called AERA Radar. Scheduled from 00:00 to 01:30. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC) ALASKA 11870, 1637-, KNLS Oct 18 Very strong in Mandarin, but still less compared to KNLS in Russian at same time on 9580 (S9 + 30 to 40!). Clearly both transmitters are operational and seemingly at full power. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC) ALGERIA 7200, 0506-, Radio Algerienne Oct 19 Excellent reception with modern Algerian vocal. Very nice signal and modulation. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC) ALGERIA 9450, 0530-, Radio Algerienne Oct 20 Unlike the other night, nothing on 7200, but very strong, clean signal in Arabic with news at 05:30 UTC.

Hope that it will be rectified tomorrow. 73 Jose Jacob AWR Monitor India On Mon, Oct 31, 2022 at 2:21 PM Kai Ludwig wrote: This transmission used to follow BBC Afghanistan 0030-0200 on 5930 (winter frequency). Not so anymore, HFCC shows that this frequency is now run by Vatican Radio and, apparently, Encompass has taken out anything else from Moosbrunn as well. Is this turns out to be a permanent cancellation it would mean that Moosbrunn is now on air only between 0400 and 2100, if nothing else is missing, too. Whatever the reasons may be – already for many years no engineer was babysitting overnight there anymore, so it's not this kind of savings. At present quite a lot of gossip surrounds the Moosbrunn station, as in part also discussed here. One rumour is that the Telefunken transmitters will no longer be used after the end of this year and the operation be limited to the two 100 kW Thomcast transmitters, installed in 2001 to replace old 60s vintage gear. However, the AWR schedule, as issued just two weeks ago, shows that the 300 kW slots continue to be booked until March. Thus the source of the rumour should be asked if it knows the contracts between AWR and ORS. If not a bit of restraint would not hurt, and concentrating on confirmed facts, including of course monitoring observations like this one.

[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs October 30-31-November 1, 2022
** FRANCE. 21690, Oct 31 at 1531, JBA carrier, searching for any B22 activity on 13m band, only this, the OSOB and consequently SSOB, per HFCC, RFI ISS in Swahili 1500-1600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ITALY. 1323 kHz, Sunday October 30 at 2000, IRRS SW via AM Italia, Villa Estense, still not on 918 or 207 either, with special hour tribute to the late Dario Monferini, of Milano, who died October 17. After confirming it here via Parma SDR, I`m listening on the clear NEXUS/IBA webcast. Starts with a rock tune I recognize as one of the liners used to appear on RN`s Media Network. Then Alfredo Cotroneo introduces the show, ``Hello There...``, apparently name of mailbag in years past. This is part 2: missed part 1 last weekend. Will play a Play-DX show of Dec 1989; reveals exact SW transmitter site outside Milano ``for the first time``, but I missed the name. Dario had been recorded over very lofi telco line, first in English talking about FM? stations in the local area. 2010 they go into Italian: I can mostly understand Alfredo in the clear studio, but not Dario so much, so suspend. When I recheck at 2040, back in English with an old Media Network episode about then new IRRS experiments with reduced carrier SSB, test schedule, not about Dario; 2054 wrapup and Verdi theme (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MADAGASCAR. 15665, Oct 31 at 1536, algo JBM at S9/+10. HFCC shows AWR in Malgache at 1530-1600. From inside Mad., should be skipping over most of the island; or just counting on groundwave in Talata area? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALDIVES [non]. 11620, Oct 31 at 1459 OC, 1500 no English but opening in Chinesish tonal language. Before 1530* brief announcement by different YL voice seems to be giving a website or email with some letters pronounced in English, but uncopied: need to be recording! Reception is about the same as had been for V of Martyrs Korea, Maldives service. Suspect it`s still them from secret site but switching focus away from Maldives. Website has lots of stuff but NO info I can find about any axual broadcasts! They do have a ``China Ministry``, but no mention of Maldives: https://vomkorea.com/en/ BTW, WRTH 22 gives HQ address in Bartlesville, OKLAHOMA! But nothing about that on website, no postal or physical address nor US phone number (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA [non]. 7255-, Oct 31 at 0624, no signal from VON. What about evening broadcast, nominally including 1630-1900 English? Oct 31 at 1658 it`s CRI English inbooming into Canary SDR. HFCC shows for B22, CRI occupies 7255 from 1600 to 2100! If VON ever resume, it will be nothing but a het against the ChiCom - but how were they to know they would be blocking Nigeria`s last possible SW frequency, since Nigeria refuses to participate in HFCC? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAO TOME. 7255.00, Oct 31 at 0456, African language S9/+10 until chopped off at 0459*, S9/+10 direct. Tnx tip from Gary Pence who wondered if Nigeria had fixed their off-frequency. But it would not be on before 0555. HFCC B22 reveals it`s VOA in Shona via Pinheira, and almost on-frequency! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAO TOME. 17895, Oct 31 at 1432, S7/S9 OC or JBM. HFCC shows VOA English at 15-16; later via Botswana. WOR iog reports all kinds of SNAFUs at VOA as B22 begins (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR0 ** SPAIN [and non]. 11670, Oct 31 at 1710, open carrier with RTTY QRM on minus side only, S9/+10 into Maryland SDR, suspected the REE African frequency, cuts off at 1714* while RTTY remains. In HFCC B22, only 161 azimuths registered are 17755 and 21620 --- nothing audible theres. But José Bueno of AER forwards this notice from REE itself: ``RADIO EXTERIOR DE ESPAÑA Cambio de hora, cambio de frecuencias Los cambios de programación y frecuencias son efectivos desde el 30 de octubre de 2022 hasta el 26 de marzo de 2023.

However, at 1710, 11685 is not on eiither; and still at 1813 neither. Something`s always nonsensical at Noblejas.

[HCDX] Masset musings from mid October
My apologies for not getting this out sooner, but life got in the way! In any case, a good and varied selection of loggings from Masset, BC, off the NW coast of BC and due south of the Alaskan Panhandle. Conditions during the earlier weeks were excellent on the shortwaves, but deteriorated during my last few days there. Nick Hall-Patch, renowned MW DXer joined me for the final 6 days there, where we overhauled all of my antennas and reconfigured the remote shack and the SDRs. In addition, we constructed a new 110/290 deg DKAZ antenna which is larger and quieter than a previous DKAZ which I constructed about a year ago. As always, any errors are mine alone, and comments are always welcome! 73, Walt Salmaniw ALASKA 3200, 2120-2240, HAARP Oct 22 Tuned in and sure enough, there HAARP with sweep tones pretty much continuously to past 22:00 (they were scheduled between 21:00 and 22:00 to run something called a VLF Amplification) until off somewhere around 22:40. Fair, sometimes good reception. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC) ALASKA 5400, 0619-, HAARP Oct 23 Listening to first night of Amanda Dawn Christie's experiment via HAARP. Excellent level, following each frequency, or combination of frequencies: 4.85, 4.80 (marred by CODAR), 5.4 MHz, 9.5 MHz, 3.3 MHz, Very strong into Masset, BC. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC) ALASKA 5800, 0415-, HAARP Oct 23 Following HAARP tonight. They started this hour centered on 4800 kHz, with buzzy carriers every 20 kHz over a span of about 400 kHz. As soon as they went off this channel, they jumped to 5800 kHz. Very strong into Masset! Cut suddenly just before 04:20 UTC, and 30 seconds later, started up centered on 6800. Slightly weaker. They then proceeded to move up as per their schedule to 7.35, 8.05 (7.35 center from 04:29:40 to 04:40, and 8.05 MHz from a few seconds after that to 04:50, and then switching to centered on 9600 (actually 9595) and presumed they'll go to the top of the hour. This test is called the satellite instrument calibration. Test ended, sure enough just before 05:00. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC) ALASKA 9600, 2345-, HAARP Oct 22 Noted an open carrier with intermittent on/off, lasting a few seconds at a time. This one was scheduled from 22:00 to 24:00, and was called GIOS HF Ocean Scatter, and was very strong into Masset. Then, near 00:00, a very wide band buzz centered on 9600 and 25 kHz on each side began continuously. I can only assume it's them! Off at 00:05:40, but back again at 00:06:09. Off at 00:11:40. Back at 00:12:05. This test is called AERA Radar. Scheduled from 00:00 to 01:30. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC) ALASKA 11870, 1637-, KNLS Oct 18 Very strong in Mandarin, but still less compared to KNLS in Russian at same time on 9580 (S9 + 30 to 40!). Clearly both transmitters are operational and seemingly at full power. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC) ALGERIA 7200, 0506-, Radio Algerienne Oct 19 Excellent reception with modern Algerian vocal. Very nice signal and modulation. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC) ALGERIA 9450, 0530-, Radio Algerienne Oct 20 Unlike the other night, nothing on 7200, but very strong, clean signal in Arabic with news at 05:30 UTC. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC) AUSTRIA 6155, 0553-, Oesterreich Rundfunk Oct 20 Superb reception over the Pole in German. If Austria closes, I'll miss this site for sure, with the diverse number of users. Let's hope it doesn't happen!. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC) CANADA 6030, 0544-, CFVP Oct 19 Good + reception with Cuban jamming in the background, but otherwise a solid S7 to S8 signal. Calgary's Funny 1060 AM. 1060 is audible, but poor with cochannel. Puts out a great signal for 100 watts!. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC) EGYPT 9440, 1800-, Radio Cairo Oct 18 Listed in Italian. Carrier came on at 17:58 Strong signal but again without any modulation. I can only imagine how good a broadcaster they could be if they would only fix their transmitters!. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC) EGYPT 9812.581, 2058-, Radio Cairo Oct 17 Distorted but strong signal with hum. Was almost readable 20 minutes ago, but no longer. Listed in French, but surely doesn't sound like it now. Continued until off just before 21:39 UTC. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC) EGYPT 9902.519, 1701-, Radio Cairo Oct 18 Turkish is listed from 17:00 to 19:00, but alas nothing but a buzzy and wobbly transmitter off-channel. I'm presuming this is Egypt. No audio otherwise heard today. The pain of it all! Rechecking at 17:39 and the transmitter is now on 9902.56 without any audio. At 18:36 .574 and perhaps some really weak audio audible. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC) GUAM 12080, 1627-, AWR Oct 18 Beautiful Indian music at great strength (S9 +10 to 20). Non-English speach at 16:28. Giving AWR's postal address in India. Then e-mail. English sign off concluded the transmission, 'From the Beautiful Pacific Island of Guam,...100,000 watts,...'. So nice to have a full ID heard!. (Salmaniw, Masset, BC) GUAM 15200, 1646-, KTWR Oct 18 Ukrainian religious programming at fair to good level.
