Glenn Hauser logs May 11-12, 2014

** BRAZIL. 6180, May 12 at 0118, RNA is gone again (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 9664.36 approx., May 12 at 0125, poor signal in Brazuguese, tonight`s off-frequency measurement of Voz Missionária (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9580, May 12 at 0113, no signal from CRI relay via Habana, but tune back across at 0115 and now CRI English is on // 9570 Albania (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6165, May 12 at 0119 as I tune across Arnie Coro, he is mentioning that R. Mayabeque, 104.7 FM transmits from a tall TV tower in Habana, even tho it serves a separate province (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE [non]. 9420, May 12 at 0122, no signal from Greece, audiblizing very poor signal from IRAN; nor any Greek on 7475/7450 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDIA. 11985, May 12 at 0111, JBA carrier from presumed AIR Sinhala service via Delhi-Khampur, while no signal at all on 11740-Goa; the opposite of last night. SRI LANKA 11905 is much more reliable (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6876.0-AM, May 12 at 0128, tune-in to a few words, ``follow us``, could have been YHWH but then plays music past 0136. Very poor vs storm noise level. This thread says it`s The Crystal Ship, per ID at 0157, on past 0235:

** PERU. 5980, May 12 at 0107, for the first time in weeks, altho not checked every single night, I am not sure R. Chaski carrier is here, tho maybe something JBA; a lot of storm noise from NW Oklahoma. Maybe they have finally reset; next time must check by 0059 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SRI LANKA. 11905, May 12 at 0114, OC from SLBC, 0114:47 music starts, 0115:18 mistimesignal ends, poor with flutter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 12105, May 11 at 2030, WTWW-3 frequency is on again, very good signal with The Overcomer Ministry, but others than Brother Scare speaking as has been the case a lot lately: is he taking a some time off? This usage substitutes for WTWW-2 on 9930 which transmitter is apparently still out of order. WTWW-1 is currently on too with SFAW on 9475.

12105, May 12 at 0108, JBA carrier vs CODAR, presumed still WTWW-3 but faded way down, as nothing else is scheduled. Nothing on any of the lower WTWW frequencies which would be propagating if on: 9930, 9475, 5830, 5085. However, at 0114 recheck, 9475 is back on with VG signal, altho it`s time for the night frequency 5830, but the switchover lately has been way later than nominal 0000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5050, May 12 at 0107, WWRB is back on here after missing a few nights, but dead air; just a pause before preacher resumes (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 21330-USB, May 11 at 2027, good signal from Y3PSL, American accent, advising a much weaker colleague, KG9E, Nick, on how to proselytize without offending the locals, apparently going to somewhere in Latin America. Y3PSL doesn`t seem like a real callsign; you can`t have a single-letter prefix unless the entire YAA-YZZ series be assigned to a single country. Then I thought he was saying YN3PSL, but swallowing the N. That`s not a real call either per QRZ.com but if it were, would be in Nicaragua. Someone does use Y3PSL on social media. Could be Y3TSL or Y3TFL or Y3PFL, as fonetix never employed. Checked W3PSL too just in case, and another no-hitter. Maybe will catch him again. Or could it really be a tactical call from a clandestine ham? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
