informal with accent. 0102 mentions new SW relays via Florida, 5950 in Spanish M-F at 22-23 (which I didn`t check, but it`s been extremely weak here), and 9395 in English Tue-Sat 01-02 (this is on 355 degree antenna so should be even better further east from here). Offers QSL to the P O Box 555 address.Annoying music bed is playing thruout this talk. 0104 news headlines, and MLID#2; 0105 Congolese official visits US (really?); about Human Rights and Red Cross and the Malvinas (more below); economy fell 2.2% in February; MLID#3. 0106 Pres. Macri visited companies in Texas, including Dow Chemical. HR/Red Cross from Geneva to visit Malvinas to identify remains of 123 Argentine soldiers buried there anonymously. Arg. meat exports to Europe are growing. Economy fell 2.2% in Feb. Investments in tourism sector for 200 hotels amount to 2.2 billion (?) pesos. Presidential trip to Japan confirmed for May 18.0109 MLID#4, then switch to YL who speaks English better for an interview with a ``great writer and journalist, Andrew Graham Ewell``, ``good morning``. He speaks with a British accent, but lived in Argentina as a teen, left in 1976 but always wanted to come ``home``, but the war in 1982 intervened. Discussing the Malvinas; what about those still living there? Would they ever become half-Argentine? It may take another 35-year [sic] generation. He thinks the islands should be Argentine, but are not. 0121 YL wraps up the interview, which thankfully dispensed with an annoying music bed.MLID#5. Song in Spanish. 0126 MLID#6; plug the 641-552-#### phone number, only once, (and the full Audio-Now number has been published in DXLD before). Adds that soon will be available in Mexico and Canada, and also Brasil in Portuguese, Spanish. 0127 MLID#7; 0128 Spanish song introduced by speech. 0132, outro title as ``Upside Down ?something`, and before that ``Poison Magic``; MLID#8.0133 segment on Science & Technology, by same guy as with news and he has to bring up the annoying music bed again. About SF authors and a book fair which started April 27. Ray Bradbury attended in 1997 & 2001. About books that anticipated inventions and creations. Jonathan Swift about the moons of Mars not discovered until 1877; automatic doors predicted in 1899. Aldous Huxley on reproductive technology, genetic manipulation; Orwell`s 1984 on surveillance. 1969 TV on demand predicted, came true in 2010; cyborg mechanical legs in 1972, now transplants; Jules Verne Naut?lus submarine, later by Spanish navy; Martian Chronicles; Borges on artificial intelligence, virtual reality, internet. Beer industry is growing, depends on imported yeast. This feature was co-written by Arnaldo Slaen (DXer who also does the DX program).0141 MLID#9; 0142 ``Mano a Mano`` by Julio Sosa; 0145 another song, instrumental; 0148 MLID#10; YL song ``Lonely Willow Tree``, and before it ``Life of a Match``(?), and before that ``Eden`` by Julio Sosa. 0151 MLID#11. 0152 headlines with music bed: Pres visits TX companies; HR delegation to ID Malvinas bodies; Economy down 2.2% in Feb. 0153 MLID#12, reminding WRMI SW sked ``while we fix our own equipment`` [except before it broke it was hard to hear;
should keep WRMI relays anyway].0155 announcer IDs self as Fernando Var?as(?), have come to the end of program``, no IS (their traditional one has been dispensed with?), into instrumental music and 0156 ``Nothing but a Heartache`` by Bonnie Tyler, no ID at 0200 TOH, and then ``Wipeout`` by The Ventures, and tune-out. I seriously suspect the last two were back to WRMI Oldies, not RAE ATTW, tho no announcements of a transition.RAE`s music breaks were pleasant enough, and the topix interesting, altho the news items were rather repetitive, and did NOT include today`s big demonstrations by the Madres en Blanco at La Plaza de Mayo, which did make the BBC World News. The dozen plays of the multi-lingual ID loop were extremely excessive, crutch! Please desist. Turkey has an even longer loop with many more languages but they don`t play it a dozen times an hour, maybe only once or twice?This has been my detailed log for this auspicious occasion, not to be repeated, as 01-02 UT has a lot of competition for my monitoring attention, but it`s great to have RAE available on SW again! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)** CUBA. 5990, May 1 at 0405, RHC English on wrong frequency! Instead of 6000, // 6145. 5990 is supposed to be only for the CRI relay until 0100 (however, seems in past I have noticed them overlapping so not same transmitter). Wolfgang B?schel also noticed 5990 at 0545, but had been corrected to 6000 by 0650 shortly before sign-off, anyway (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)** GUATEMALA. 4055, May 1 0407, TGAV with music, unseems NA, but off at 0408*, the early closing on UT Mondays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)** KUWAIT. 15540, May 1 at 1838, R. Kuwait with news in English, fair signal and would be completely readable without my line noise level. Tnx to tip from Mick Delmage, who said it was ``huge`` in Alberta at 1810. Also enough signal to stop my BST-1 caradio memory scan at 1910 during unneeded rock music. Still no reports of any other language services reactivated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)** MEXICO. 620, May 1 at 0415, ``La Norte?a``, 91.7 ID, i.e. XEBU Chihuahua2, 5000/250 watts, but not unusual here at night, often over US stations. I don`t think they said ``Norte?ita`` as listed this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)** MEXICO. 800, May 1 at 0416, surprised to find XEROK VG at S9+30, blowing away KQCV OKC; usually it`s the other way around. But now XEROK does sound like a borderblaster. Mentions Ciudad Ju?rez, promo for 800, songs[later on May 1, CKLW programming was reported by CTV Windsor, via Artie Bigley, to have moved to sibling station CKWW 580, due to a fire in the CKLW transmitter, so that 800 is off, opening for DX?] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)** OKLAHOMA. 91.1 KKRD, 92.1 KAMG-LP, 105.5-K288FX, May 1 at 1915 UT check, all three Enid stations are still AWOL (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)** RUSSIA. 9996, May 1 at 0410, CW time pips including some
doubled ones, S7.5 equal to noise level. Has to be RWM Taldom, surprised to be getting this 10 kW as not much is making it from stronger/closer/lower latitude Eurosites, except 9490 Nauen poorly. Better than 9955 WRMI now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1875 monitoring: Saturday April 29 at 0630 on HLR 6190-CUSB, confirmed by Manuel M?ndez in Spain; Sunday April 30 at 1030 on HLR 9485-CUSB, confirmed by Ivo Ivanov in Bulgaria.Also confirmed UT Monday May 1 at 0304 on Area 51 webcast, starting late after a song and some IDs, and presumably also on WBCQ 5129.82v-AM. The Monday 0330 on WRMI 9955 is almost confirmed: JBA signal at 0342 but resembles my intonation. Webcast however at 0357 is running but silent, unusual. It was running at 0305 check with R. Prague Sunday music show in English, so back to normal schedule after two weeks of `Bye, Bye, Sitkunai`.Also confirmed Monday May 1 at 2330 on WBCQ 9330.00-CUSB, good. Missed checking the 0030 May 2 on WRMI 7730. Next:Tue 1100 WRMI 9955 to SSE, 9455? to WNWTue 2130 WRMI 15770 to NE, 9455 to WNWTue 2330 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSWWed 1030 WRMI 5850 to NW, 9455? to WNWWed 1315.5 WRMI 9955 to SSEWed 2100 WBCQ 7490v to WSWWed 2330 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)** U S A. WRMI: see ALBANIA [non], and ARGENTINA [non]** U S A. 810, May 1 at 0417, ``810KLVZ.com`` so Brighton CO station is back on the air. As of 2016 NRC AM Log in August, said it was silent as of 4/2016. But in DXLD 16-45: ``AM Log Updates: 810, KLVZ, CO, Brighton ? Format to NOS (ex - Silent); slogan to "Legends 810/94.3," adds // K232FK - 94.3 (John Wilkins, NRC DX News Nov 14 published Nov 6 via DXLD)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)** U S A. 1070, May 1 at 0422 UT, KNX with IBOC noise circa 1057 & 1083, 0425 UT traffic on the fives at 9:25 timecheck. Not unusual here with Wichita nulled, and thus its IBOC is more of a factor than that from 1080 KRLD.1147 & 1173, May 1 at 0426, IBOC noise from KSL. I haven`t noticed any from 1170 KFAQ in quite a while, which would give KSL a take-that from 1157 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)** U S A. 1240.20, May 1 at 0427 UT, quite a het against the 1240.0 pileup, presumably KCRT Trinidad CO, reported on 1240.19, as of March 20, 2015 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)This report despatched at 0424 UT May 2_______________________________________________Message: 6Date: Tue, 2 May 2017 04:24:50 +0000 (UTC)From: Glenn Hauser <wghauser@yahoo.com>To: <dxld@yahoogroups.com>Cc: <swl@mailman.qth.net>Subject: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs May 1-2, 2017Message-ID: <1016455340.276601.1493699090346@mail.yahoo.com>Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8Send Hard-Core-DX mailing list submissions to hard-core-dx@hard-core-dx.comTo subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dxor, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to hard-core-dx-request@hard-core-dx.comYou can reach the person managing the list at hard-core-dx-owner@hard-core-dx.comWhen replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specificthan "Re: Contents of Hard-Core-DX digest...
** ALBANIA [non]. 5850, May 3 at 2319 quick check of R. Tirana via WRMI, during music. Back to my WORLD OF RADIO 1876 recording. Hope they had a new program on today unlike the May 1 one repeated on May 2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)** ARGENTINA [non]. 9395, May 4 at 0120, checking RAE ATTW via WRMI, during interview about architecture. Recheck at 0135 to hear the multi-lingual ID, song; 0138 MLID again! and talk about dinosaurs at a provincial park in San Juan; 0148 another MLID, song; 0151 MLID; 0152 headlines: selling Argentine products in China by e-commerce; president to visit on Monday; tax collexions in April up 24% by 786 gigapesos; 0153 the fifth MLID this hour during my sporadic monitoring, and sign-off with SW schedule, P O Box 555, 1000 WAF Buenos Aires address for reports (and Fernando utters ham-like fonetix ``whisky-alfa-foxtrot``). 0156 back to WRMI Oldies music but no ID break. (I wonder how long their playlist is; everything sounds familiar).Meanwhile, I received a very nice personal reply from RAE`s director Adri?n Korol, who remembers me from my Spanish DX reports on Espacio Diexista - Radio Enlace from Radio Nederland. He says I will be receiving the #001 special QSL for inauguration of the WRMI relays. The first broadcast I heard on UT May 2 was a week-old test file they had sent to WRMI, which explains the lack of new news, and the May 1 Madres de Plaza de Mayo demonstration would be covered subsequently. He agrees the dozen multi-lingual IDs were excessive, and they have plenty of other bumpers which could be inserted.He took over in February when the SW service was already off. The transmitter needs two new tubes, which are expensive and have to be imported. He credits the director of RNA with deciding to support the external service, which had largely been neglected. Good listener response to the WRMI relays has already been coming in.I`ll be publishing his complete reply in Spanish. It`s great to have someone running an international service who actually has experience as a SW listener and DXer. And of course, Argentina is the ONLY South American country with an external SW service, even in English, with only one other in all of Latin America, Cuba of course (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)** CHINA [and non]. 6110.285v, May 4 at 1237, wavering carrier in Chinese vs weaker one on 6110.0, i.e. CNR1 jamming against VOA Chinese via Thailand, making big het too (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)** CUBA. 6145, May 4 at 0552, RHC English is S9+10 but just barely modulated, so I check the remainder of The Cuban Five: 6100 S9+10/20 with sufficient mod; 6060 loud and splattering over 6070 CFRX; 6000 S9+10/20 undermodulated; 5040 very good (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)** KOREA SOUTH. 15575, May 4 at 1325, KBS World Radio is starting to show up for its summer-season peak, English to North America at S9-S7 with choppy fading, also vs my HNL. Only May-August or so do we have a chance
of hearing it as they stay on this unpropagating frequency all winter. Aoki still shows azimuth as 81 degrees from Kimjae, i.e. way south of North America, aimed right at Honolulu and Santiago, which also helps explain why this puts a much better signal into Chile.Or is it? 13-14 English, 14-15 Korean, and also a 00-03 UT broadcast on 15575 are now in HFCC as 40 degrees to CIRAF 1, 2 and 6, i.e. only Alaska, NW Canada, and western third of conterminous USA. This beam crosses USA from Vancouver to Matamoros, only about 6 degrees away from Enid (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)** KURDISTAN [non]. 7350, May 4 at 0412, Denge Kurdistane with talk at S9+10. Ivo says this recently replaced 11600 for the 0230-0500 segment, and is via Issoudun, FRANCE site, not Pridnestrovye nor B`lgariya (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)** KUWAIT. 15540, May 3 at 1936 check, R. Kuwait with ME music segment, greatly preferable to the Western rock MOI feels they must also play to be well-rounded, fair at S9 vs my HNL. Still no reports of any other language services reactivated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)** MADAGASCAR [and non]. 11825, May 4 at 0421, MWV African Pathways Radio playing neat reggae music, S7 with deep fades to S3 during English hour; 0424 `This Day in History` feature for 4 May, from Kent State killings of students to International Respect for Chickens Day, but always leading up to an irrelevant Bible verse. 0429 on to a `Creation Moment` about pain management, concluding that medicine doesn`t matter because pain is caused by sin. Enough of that crap. We can only pray that Africans don`t fall for it.11825, meanwhile, an understation of NHK IS starts at *0425. That`s 300 kW Yamata direct prior to Chinese at 290 degrees from 0430 to 0500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)** MEXICO. 800, May 4 at 0449 UT, XEROK music blasting over KQCV OKC like a cannon. I really think it must have ramped up to full power lately of 50 kW ND, which means it`s probably tearing up KQCV in parts of OKC as well, outside its main lobe, supposedly protecting XEROK. Seems like I have a pipeline from the WSW, with 1020 KCKN also inbooming, but I really think it`s the stations, not propagation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)** NORTH AMERICA. 7615-AM, May 4 at 0410, Station YHWH is on, very poor at S8. Other reports indicate he starts at 0230, but that may vary (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)** OKLAHOMA. 1000, May 4 at 0446 UT, KTOK OKC with Dodgers baseball play-by-play, and not the OKC farmteam, because an ad for Southern California Toyotathon is then inserted, in the bottom of the eighth, just before midnight here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)** SRI LANKA. 15255, May 4 at 1324, South Asian song at S9-S7. This is AWR at 1300-1330 in Bengali, then 1330-1400 in Kok Borok, both 125 kW at 25 degrees from Trincomalee. Always fun to get these virtually trans-polar signals better than lower
latitude ones. According to EiBi`s language listings, Kok Borok, a.k.a. Tripuri, is spoken by 800 kiloindians (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)** U S A. 10000, May 4 at 0414, WWV is making this announcement every hour (and perhaps at other times, also on WWVH), not verbatim: NWS Atlantic and Pacific High Seas and Storm Warnings on WWV and WWVH are scheduled to be discontinued on October 1, 2017. Comments or issues about this should be sent not later than May 31 to nws.issues@noaa.gov --- Rechecked at 1214 and 1514 May 4, I copied this once as nwws, not nws; not sure what the automaton says (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)** U S A [and non].

They might be running non directional at the moment. The night pattern throws 40 watts in your direction and the day pattern less than 500. Either could be screwed up. Not being in the loop anymore that's the only thing I can offer. Take care``This signal is no 500 or 40 watts. How about 50,000, ND? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)** U S A. 1480, May 4 at 1208 UT, song in Spanish about Mar?a with various rhymes such as fr?a; after a ``Tally-ho!`` as in Bollywood, 1211 UT English announcement, paraphrased, ``KBXD, 50,000 watts
