Glenn Hauser logs October 25, 2014

** BRAZIL. 11745, Oct 25 at 0537, RNA distorted spur with music matching fundamental 11780; weak but definitely there. On matching 11815 it`s also JBA vs BSplash from 11825 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 6070, Oct 25 at 1300, JBA signal with ad, fading up for Canadian PSA, ``news-Talk 10-10 from the broadcast centre in downtown Toronto``, 9 am news update. Very poor with fades. So maybe CFRX really was on 24 hours earlier when I couldn`t hear them. Too far for all-day reception here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 13850, Oct 25 at 0535, R. Cairo is the SSOB by far, not even Australia on 13630, but transmitting open carrier/dead air --- another great triumph of the ERTU (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 9420, Oct 25 at 0538, ERTOpen with Greek music still on original frequency, very good with flutter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 770, Oct 25 at 1249, PSA about mosquitos from the Sinaloa department of Salud, 1245 back to ``Los 40 Principales``, i.e. Top 40 from XEREV, Los Mochis, 5/0.1 kW per IRCA Mexican Log 2014. Sinaloa, in the sesquimegameter range, continues to be a hotspot for MexDX at SRS here which is 1248 UT today; see also 1410 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 1410, Oct 25 at 1255, PSA from the Secretaría de -algo- de Sinaloa. IRCA shows XECF, Los Mochis, 10/0.5 kW, La Mexicana. Sinaloa, in the sesquimegameter range, continues to be a hotspot for MexDX at SRS here which is 1248 UT today; see also 770. City-to-city distance Los Mochis-to-Enid is: 1583 km = 984 miles (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND. 6170, Oct 25 at *1259, RNZI cuts on with Bell Bird IS, at the correct time to switch from 9700, unlike yesterday when 6170 was on earlier, unbeknownst to the studio playing the QSY announcement anyway (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VIETNAM. 7906-USB, Oct 25 at 1306, YL in English, very weak but enough to copy ``longitude``, no doubt a notice to mariners of the coordinates of some obstruxion in Viet waters, i.e. Ho Chi Minh Radio. But there is CCI from some other talk, maybe a sibling station misfiring? The frequency is time-shared by many others (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
