11810 [tentat. via Noblejas Spain? ] Test series of CRI via Spain
continues?
Thanks to a tip of Noel Green-UK of Jan 22nd, CRI Beijing in French
language heard again from 0800 UT today Jan 23rd. Is a test series of CRI
via Noblejas-Spain relay underway? Maybe CRI will use the Spain facility
in coming A07 season too?
>From Dec 28th onwards CRI has been heard regularly on 6125 kHz in our
night at 2100-2200, some days [Mo-Fr] also extended up to 2300 UT. Audio
feed bandwidth via satellite feeder is very limited, like an old army
field phone line.
11810 - heard a Chinese music program already around 0730-0745 UT, when
underneath Jordan Radio Arabic co-channel. So the Spanish[?] technician
switched on the tx already 30 mins before program start. From 0745-0759 UT
only the Spanish carrier noted underneath of Jordan Radio.
0800 UT CRI French ID and IS, into nxcast. Small audio width like night
service on 6125 kHz. S=7 signal, not as strong as CRI Cerrik-ALB (11785
and 11855 at this time) S=9+10dB, or Noblejas-ESP S=9+20dB. But equal
signal level like Noblejas-ESP on 11945 towards SoAM in 230 degr, S=7.
So, CRI 11810 kHz target could be as towards NoAF/NoWeAF/WeAF at 130 to
200 degrees from Spain. Co-channel Jordan cl-d at 0810 UT. Did put all
three channels on three neighbouring E1 Radio memory channels, in order to
check signal strength very easily. Then fiddled very fast between these
three Noblejas frequencies on the memory channels.
At 0820 UT:
11810 S=9 up to +10dB
11945 S=9+20 dB
12035 S=9+30dB up to +40dB
TX switch off at 08.55:41 UT.
