Glenn Hauser logs August 14-15, 2017


** BANGLADESH. 15505, August 15 at 1358:48.5 again like yesterday BB mis-timesignal ends more than a minute early on VP signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 6230, August 15 at 0149, no signal, so I expect on my downward bandscan I will find 6145 and/or 6060 missing from RHC, the co-conspirators producing the leapfrog mixing product on 6230. Yes, 6145 is on in English, but 6060 is off in Spanish at 0150 --- uncovering a JBA carrier on 6059.82, presumably SRDA BRAZIL, which EiBi has on 6059.8 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 9420, August 15 at 0143, ERT is playing song in English, ``Moon River``, not positive if original by Andy Williams, but nice, S9 to S9+20, 0145 Greek announcement and instrumental theme from a Western movie. No // 9935. IIRC, 24 hours earlier, 9420 was off; you never know when or whether it will be operational (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** INDIA [and non]. 11620, August 15 at 0133, S Asian music at S1-S3, as special independence day broadcast from AIR is imminent. Of the frequency info provided by Alokesh Gupta, I expected this one would be best here. 0135 AIR English ID by YL, talk continues but unreadable, and this frequency is supposed to be in Hindi. 15040 & 11740 have JBA carriers, but nothing audible on 7520, 9380, 13695, 15120. 

We should not forget that India`s independence also meant partition into Pakistan, which was a huge upheaval killing lots of people:

** KOREA NORTH. 11735, Aug 15 at 0614, paradisical harmonies from VOK`s music, 0615 Spanish announcement, more song, mixed with self-jamming noise. With no NZ any more on 11725, VOK is the SSOB, S4-S7. The 0530 hour is for Latin America, rather late for them (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Aug 15 at 0610, no signal from VON which is usually reliable for Hausa hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA [non]. 7415, Aug 15 at 0608, very poor music at S5-S7, repetitive strumming, vs ute bursts. Must be Dandal Kura, this hour via ASCENSION, usually better heard (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. Tropo is up from Tulsa area, morning of August 15: Tulsa DTV RF channels decoding are 20, 22 and 28, with bad signals from most of the others. More interesting are the OKC channels which are *not* decoding due to DX QRM: 33, maybe due to KNWA, 820 kW in Rogers AR; and 29, maybe due to KTZT-CD, 10 kW in Tulsa. More low-powers on both inhabit OK, AR, KS, MO (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA. Fed up with hearing Brother HyStairical trying to draw psychophants into his cult compound for the Eclipse? A much more enlightening convention happens to occur nearby in North Charleston starting August 19:

** U S A. 17775.0, Aug 15 at 1359, KVOH guitar IS, English ID and sign-on as ``17775``, 1401 into Spanish. Aug 11 it was on 17777, but did not get around to checking which was in use on next broadcast August 14 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
