Glenn Hauser logs September 13-14, 2009

** BRAZIL. For the third time, I hear extremely distorted FMy spur in Brazilian Portuguese, extending from 5773 to 5785 and peaking around 5777, Sept 14 at 0521, presumably from or instead of 6060, Rádio Tupi, Curitiba, as reported previously from Brasil and Uruguay. Each time I have heard it around this hour, it`s all-talk, no music. Those with true NBFM mode reception capability should try whether it is any clearer than by my slope-detexion for a definite ID (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 6030 this Monday with no Cuban jamming audible, unlike last week, Sept 14 at 0517 caught a bit of Johnny Cash at fadeup, no doubt CFVP Calgary with its country format (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA. Looking for VOI at 1350 Sept 14, at first seemed absent, then could barely detect a carrier around 9524.9. So add inaudible signal to inaudible modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MOROCCO. 15341, RTM making a big het with 15340, Sept 14 at 1355 past 1402. 15340 was almost as strong, but RTM`s Arabic modulation was atop. The victim must be HCJB Kununurra, 307 degrees, scheduled to change from Hindi to Urdu at 1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY [and non]. 15285, besides the usual radio war between the
ChiCom`s CNR1 jamming and BBCWS Mandarin, via Singapore, Sept 14 at 1402 was also hearing Qur`an and a fast SAH among them. The latter is scheduled as VOT in Arabic, but beamed to N/W Africa, they must have thought the share would work (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VENEZUELA [non]. Hugo faked me out Sunday Sept 13, as chex until 1500 UT, as in previous report, found none of the Aló, Presidente channels via CUBA on the air. If there is going to be any show that week, they are normally on as early as 1400 with RHC`s own prolog produxions until he`s ready. So did not recheck until 1752, and then 13750 was on with big signal matching big ego; weaker on // 12010, weaker still on 11690 and not audible on 13680 or 17750 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9535-9540-9545, unexpected strong DRM signal when little else was propagating on 31m, Sept 14 at 0510; in fact by the meter it was stronger than the best AM signal, 9630 REE Costa Rica. I made quite sure of the center frequency 9540, and there is nothing on the DRM DX schedule
http://www.drm-dx.de/ to account for this! There are some entries on 9535, 9545 at other times (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
