[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs May 1-2
** ALBANIA. After its Monday break, R. Tirana at 1300 to NAm on 13750 on May 1
was JBA (just barely audible), not enough signal to combat my neighbor`s TV
swish QRM, and at 1324 recheck not audible at all. One would expect better
results with solar flux grown to 87 from a low of 69 recently, and K-index at
only 1. Clearly there are other factors (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
Solar-terrestrial indices for 30 April follow. Solar flux 87 and mid-latitude
A-index 21. The mid-latitude K-index at 1200 UTC on 01 May was 1 (5 nT). The
mid-latitude K-index at 1500 UTC on 01 May was 1 (8 nT). No space weather
storms were observed for the past 24 hours. No space weather storms are
expected for the next 24 hours (SEC via DXLD)
** ALBANIA. R. Tirana, 13750, May 2 at 1300 was too weak to overcome the local
TVI, but when rechecked at 1319 it had improved to a fair signal, during
mailbag (?) segment which was about the theatre in Albania. Now I could hear
the hum on the audio which others with stronger signals have reported (Glenn

** CUBA. It`s a big day in Habana, the 46th anniversary of RHC, and oh yes,
something about workers. RHC was combined with at least half a dozen domestic
networks for live coverage by Ninochka, from Plaza de la Revolución, May 1 at
1331 on 11760 // 11655 and many other frequencies not including 15370. Can`t
let two minutes go by without blathering about Terrorist Posada Carriles, who
ought to be extradited to Cuba, and the five Cuban political prisoners in US
jails; never a word about the great many more Cuban political prisoners in
Cuban jails.
