Glenn Hauser logs October 14-15, 2017


** NETHERLANDS [non]. 5960, Oct 15 at 0003, The Mighty KBC via GERMANY is mighty weak this week, very poor, less than the S8 nearby lightning crashes (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 15520 // 17855, Sunday Oct 15 at 1404, REE is good with SBG, 17715 poor, and 21620 detectable JBA carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TIBET [non]. 11518, Oct 15 at 1319, JBA carrier with flutter, presumed Voice of Tibet via TAJIKISTAN on signature split frequency. Today`s NDXC/Aoki agrees: 11518 is in use only at 1315-1330 in Chinese, 100 kW, 95 degrees from Dushanbe-Yangiyul (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15555-USB, Oct 14 at 2118, WJHR is on and in with good signal, always the same gospel huxter preaching. Had not been able to hear it for some weeks, usually checking around alleged *1402, so has it been off or just not propagating? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1899 monitoring: confirmed Saturday Oct 14 at 2130 on WBCQ 9330v-CUSB, fair. (Tuned in earlier so caught *2125:30 with The Planet ID and IS loop; tuned in later to measure: 9330.14v-CUSB at 0009 during Blalock the Blaster.) Also confirmed Sat Oct 14 at 2300 on WRMI 11580, poor. Next airing at 0200 UT Sunday Oct 15 on 11580: JBA carrier, too weak to confirm. Confirmed UT Sunday Oct 15 at 0337 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, S9+30, about 26 minutes in so started circa 0311. Next:
Sun 2330   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
Mon 0300v  WBCQ 5130v Area 51 to WSW
Mon 0330   WRMI 9955 to SSE
Mon 2330   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
Tue 0030   WRMI 7730 to WNW
Tue 2030   WRMI 11580 to NE, 9455 to WNW [NEW time; or maybe #1900]
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** YEMEN [non]. 11860, Oct 15 at 1322, Republic of Yemen Radio is S9=S5 with flutter, but better than most signals except Cuba on 25m, as numerous FE frequencies are really weak today. Drumming and chanting, 1326 militant talk and music; presumably from SAUDI ARABIA, and now arriving by relatively low-latitude longpath? Sunset in Sana`a is currently 1443 UT, in case they should pause for Qur`anic vespers any more (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
