Glenn Hauser logs November 29-30, 2014

** BRAZIL. 11745 & 11815, Nov 30 at 0618, distorted spurs from 11780.1 RNA are weakly audible; no QRM from 11825 WRMI now, inaudible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA [non]. 7570, Nov 30 at 0459 tune-in, WRMI is off, but pops back on at *0459.5, so must have made an unexpected transmitter and/or antenna switch from that for Brother Scare. Continues with blasting VG signal as usual. It`s now time for the second special of the year from STF Radio International, as per its previous publicity. Much like the last one, with hard-driving electronic music, every so often beeping with radiograms to be decoded by those so inclined. ID as Super Time Force, which is a video game enterprise in Toronto, and only 7570 mentioned so like last time must have prepared separate playbacks for each transmitter. Also on WRMI 7730, much weaker here (and had a pre-show from 0400 on 7730 only); and WRMI 9955 which is merely good level and not synchronized. Also on WBCQ 9330, 7490 and 5110, but no need for them so I stay with 7570 thruout. Before 0600 signs off with Toronto address asking for reports. Voice is synthetic, mostly
 femalish. WRMI ID and back to BS at 0600.

7490, then I tune down to WBCQ and find the STF closing beeps still going past 0600, so must have started late: 0604 finally sign-off by Allan Weiner. This one had some Cuban pulse jamming as usual from the lo side circa 7488.

7455, BTW, checking WRMI at 0605, find it is carrying BS instead of TruNews, which has another hour to run here, and is still on 5015 and 5850 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [and non]. 17585, Nov 30 at 1450, CNR1 jammer, fair with heavy flutter: here due to IBB Tibetan via Lampertheim during this hour only, per HFCC

15745, Nov 30 at 1453, CNR1 jammer, fair with heavy flutter, // 17585. This is to block IBB Tibetan via Thailand during this hour only. None in the 14s, 13s

12045, Nov 30 at 1453, CNR1 jammer, not // 15745 & 17585 but maybe just out of synch. This is vs IBB Chinese via TINIAN, an always audible heavy collision (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also EAST TURKISTAN

** COLOMBIA. 5910-, Nov 30 at 0607, HJDH is active again, song in the style of ``Guantanamera``, soon ID not as Alcaraván Radio but as La Voz de tu Conciencia; fair signal, slightly on the lo side and no QRM at this hour. The other HJDH is also on air, 6010v, at 0609 playing different less secular music, instrumental version of ``Amen, amen, amen``, with het presumed Brasil; at 0613 it too IDs, by OM as LV de tu Conciencia. Back to 5910 at 0614: another LV de tu C ID, by YL. Strange; mixed up their automation? Or is the Alcaraván Radio programming from 1530 no longer to be shortwaved? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 9710, Nov 29 at 2249, this early, RHC with CCCCCCI (Chinese language Chinese Communist co-channel interference), which HFCC shows as CNR (not a jammer!) 2025-2330, 100 kW, 217 degrees from SZG site near Beijing. Later in evening it`ll be from Kashgar, and Iran: great coordination, Arnie, who refuses to participate in HFCC.

17730, Nov 30 at 1451, RHC back on frequency, with some hum, ex-yesterday on 17699.5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 17615, Nov 30 at 0622, very poor signal with flutter, nothing else on band.
15620, Nov 30 at 0622, something even weaker
15220, Nov 30 at 0623, French, very poor with flutter. Nothing much else audible on this band either.

HFCC shows all these are CRI, 17615 being Urumqi in German; 15620 Kashgar in Italian; 15220 Kashgar in French, all for Europe, of course. What a novel idea: broadcasting to a target area for its morning listenership. No one does it anymore for us from outside North America. Except South Korea, which doesn`t know anything about propagation. Radio Australia, of course serves only the Pacific and we are just fortunate to lie right beyond it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ECUADOR. 6050.0, Nov 30 at 0239, open carrier/dead air, poor-fair signal. Nothing but HCJB is scheduled here and normally audible. Wake up! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT [and non]. 9860, Nov 30 at 0232, R. Cairo ``English`` is really open carrier/dead air on fair signal

9905, Nov 30 at 0232, R. Cairo, wailing with long pauses, good but with persistent RTTY QRM

9965, Nov 30 at 0242, R. Cairo with whine, JBM in Arabic

9395, Sunday Nov 30 at 1353, classic ME music, so Global 24 via WRMI must still be relaying Cairo at 1300, but only on Sundays; 1400 interrupt for Global 24 ID; 1401 R. Cairo opens `Modern Egypt` talk about investing and industry, with music bits interspersed, Kenya mentioned. 1407 on to next segment, unsure topic, with continuous music bed; 1409 music only; 1419 news headlines and sign-off North American service, including news tomorrow at 4:15 Cairo Local Time = 0215 UT.

At 1421, G24 switches to its own music fill, `Horse with No Name` by Neil Young --- no it wasn`t, per Wikipedia: ``"A Horse with No Name" is a song written by Dewey Bunnell, and originally recorded by the band America. It was the band's first and most successful single, released in late 1971 in Europe and early 1972 in the US, and topping the charts in several countries.[1] It was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.[2] Due to the song's resemblance to the work of Neil Young from the same time period, it is occasionally mistaken for being written and sung by Young``.

1425 the usual Bach fill; 1430 starting `Switzerland in Sound`. Reception here was sufficient, especially after FEBC 9400 closed Chinese about 1402. No particular complaints about Cairo`s modulation here, incomparably better than on own transmitters; yet, one needs to pay rapt attention and still not follow all details. I hope G24 keeps this relay available (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GERMANY. 6105-6110-6115, Nov 30 at 0238, strong DRM from presumed Radio Andernach; missed checking circa 0300 whether it was still on to collide with R. Fana. Would serve Ethiopia right for employing DRM as jamming elsewhere (altho R. Fana is supposedly a private station, not governmental) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See unID 6190

** GREECE. 9935, Nov 29 at 2250, this poor Avlis transmitter is motorboating again, put-putting during ERTOpen music; carrier is also wobbling slightly, while // 9420 is stronger and OK.

9935, Nov 30 at 0232, now the motorboating is really bad, and sounds like two program feeds mixing, one music, one talk, but could be intentional, same on 9420 without the motorboating.

11645, Nov 30 at 0616, very poor signal here but I think it is wobbling, while 9420 is VG (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 6185, Nov 30 at 0612, XEPPM is on late again tonight, still going with song, very good clear signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6940-USB, Nov 30 at 0229, strong jazz music, likely Wolverine Radio; 0240.5 yes, 2-word ID as such; off at 0306 recheck (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. (88.7), KWTU Tulsa webcast, tune in just before 0200 UT Nov 30 for final repeat of KUCO`s `Performance Oklahoma` with Mozart`s ``Magic Flute`` from this year`s OK Mozart Festival --- but stream goes to dead air for 7 minutes before some piano music fill kicks in. A bust, and I missed the first part earlier on KUCO itself. Yet another station over-relying on automation with no human around to make sure programming happens (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OMAN. 11650, Nov 29 at 2214, RSO VG in Arabic, apparently now on this channel starting at 2200, until 0200. Lecture on computers, mentioning English terms, ``Microsoft Security Essential``; still at 2247 mentioning ``Windows 10``, ``Samsung`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 11820, Nov 29 at 2216, Qur`an from BSKSA, // 11915 and 11930. 11820 is strongest and would be best, were it not for the BSplash from 11825 WRMI; 11930 mixed with Cuban jamming which should have stopped at 2200 with Radio Martí; tnx a lot, Arnie! 11915 is fair with lite het presumably from off-frequency Brazilian, R. Gaúcha. So 11915 comes out best under the circumstances. HFCC shows Riyadh:

11820, 18-23, 500 kW at 320 degrees USward, intended only for Europe
11915, 18-23, 500 kW at 295 degrees
11930, 18-23, 500 kW at 270 degrees
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9410, Nov 30 at 0249, fair signal with SW Asian vocal music; must be Spanish service of VOT during this hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1749 monitoring: confirmed on KVOH, 9975, UT Sunday Nov 30 at 0231, after usual musical prélude and sign-on. VG signal level, but hum and undermodulated. Next:

Sunday 1000 on WRMI 5850
[at 1025 there was an earthquake here but I was too rattled to turn on the radio to confirm: USGS says: 4.2 magnitude, 27km SSE of Medford, Oklahoma 2014-11-30 10:24:44 4.5 km deep; = 19 mi NE of Enid, details:
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/usb000t1de#summary
NZ outdid us with some higher 4s]

Sunday 2300 on WRMI 11580
Monday 0400v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB
Monday 2201 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395
Tuesday 2300 on WRMI 9955
Wednesday 0401 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395
Wednesday 0730 & 1530 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB
Wednesday 1415 on WRMI 9955
Wednesday 2200 on WBCQ 7490v
Wednesday 2201 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9395, Nov 30 at 0233, Global 24 via WRMI, discussion of superheroes: must be `The Fringe Radio Show` special as promoted a week ago about ``Game Movie Empire``, mentioned at 0249 after IBM and Midas ads. TFRS runs from 01 to 05 UT Sundays. These long-form music/talk shows allow plenty of opportunities for adspots, unlike continuous foreign non-commercial relays. See also EGYPT [non].

9395, Nov 30 at 1504, Diana Ross discussed, her music. Is this `Sounds from the `Global Village` as on schedule grid now? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9330v-CUSB, Nov 29 at 2255, WBCQ carrier is on prior to extended Saturday evening-only broadcast, with humwhine, wobble, VG level.

7490v-AM & 9330v-CUSB, Nov 30 at 0234, WBCQ // but out of synch, 9330 running 29 seconds behind 7490, discussion of tyranny & elexions; 5110v-CUSB in other programming, musical (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 960, Nov 30 at 0253 UT, in MW bandscan I try nulling local KGWA, and voilà, there`s another station I normally can`t hear even during Fox-holes: program is `CCM Magazine` pausing for ads, including 1-800-990-6976 to become debt-free; chia(?) seeds for Omega-3; 0255 UT back to the first of four Xmas editions of the CCM Radio Magazine, i.e. Christian, kid singing. Remains steadily audible as long as I keep KGWA tightly nulled, very little fading.

0300 UT quick ID sounds like KTCS, into SRN ``news``. Uplooked later, it has to be KCGS in Marshall AR, 5 kW daytime, 44 watts at night, non-direxional; yeah, right. Finally fades out (or powers down?) at 0305 UT as I strain to hear another ID after news. Marshall is in north-central Arkansas on US 65 between Little Rock and Branson. NRC AM Log lists as merely talk format. Wiki claims KCGS has southern gospel format, more like this. Own website kcgsam.com has expired. CCM is a Salem thing, standing for Christ, Community, Music:
http://www.ccmmagazine.com/ But no KCGS found searching there. Another night, another cheating razorback: 25 hours earlier, it was 1530 KVDW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1620, Nov 30 at 0630 UT, KOZN, ``The Zone`` with KETV-7 weatherperson on what`s ``coming up Friday afternoon in Omaha``!! But this is Sunday morning already. O well, blame the automation. Or rather the human supposed to be in charge of it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6190-DRM, Nov 30 at 0238, sounds like weak DRM noise here, not enough to bother 6185 XEPPM. Nonesuch in HFCC, but could it be the 5 kW reserve BELARUS transmitter registered as D=analog for 23 hours a day? Oops, 02-03 is the one hour it is not listed. Thought it might be an alternate for R. Andernach, but that`s strong on 6105-6115, see GERMANY (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11745 & 11815, Nov 28 at 2342, distorted spurs from 11780.1 RNA/RNB are audible; recheck Nov 29 at 0639 they are not (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA [non]. In case you haven`t heard already via WORLD OF RADIO 1749 or the DXLD yg, STF Radio International is publicizing a second broadcast. Remember earlier this year, when it turned out to be video-game music originating in Toronto, and probably to include Radiogram beeping. Details:

``STF Radio International Broadcast #2
November 30 0500-0600 UT (tonight midnight EST)

5110 / 7490 / 7570 / 7730 / 9330 The Americas
9955 The Carribean
17645 Asia

Preshow Warm-up!!
November 30 0400-0500 UT
7730 Khz The Americas

PLUS! Rebroadcast for EU
November 30, 2014 1600-1700 UT
6095 kHz EU
-----
Hope you can tune in tonight/tomorrow!
"I can see the radio wave."
Jason/6955, STF Radio International``

5110, 7490 and 9330 are obviously WBCQ; will they all make it on the air this time as scheduled? 7570, 7730, 9955 obviously WRMI. 6095 would be Germany, and probably 17645 too. Website is:
http://stfradio.com/ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6270, Nov 29 at 0629, RHC music on fair signal, i.e. leapfrog mixing product of 6060 over 6165 another 105 kHz higher. This LMP is usually audible at least weakly; now it seems the fundamentals are really blasting in even stronger than usual, pipeline from Habana. Not receiver-produced as attenuation does not eliminate 6270. Yet we don`t hear the opposite mix which would be on 5955.

12000, Nov 29 at 0638, RHC English on fair signal here which is 2 x 6000, and like the fundamental seriously undermodulated, unlike all the others. OTOH, can`t hear any other second harmonix which would be on 12120 (ute QRM hinders), nor 12200, nor 12330.

17699.5, Nov 29 at 1437, RHC Spanish is here instead of 17730! Fair signal and somewhat unstable. At first assumed finger slip on keyboard led to 17700, but it`s not exactly there. Maybe someone just bumped the analog tuning knob (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KUWAIT [and non]. 9750, Nov 29 at 1352, Qur`an weakly audible under NHK in Japanese. Not Iran as I first suspected, but Kuwait on here at 11-16 per HFCC, while Japan is at 08-17, both westward from own sites. I suspect the 5-hour collision is much worse in Asia, altho CIRAF targets differ, so no problem! as far as HFCC is concerned: 43 & 44 (central & eastern China) for Japan, 37 & 38 (north Africa) for Kuwait (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND. 11725, Nov 29 at 0642, `Saturday Night` request show from RNZN via RNZI complies with one from Mohammed in Tehran for ``Goodbye, My Love`` by Mary Hopkin; next at 0645, finale from ``Swan Lake``; 0648, ``San Francisco``. How about some requests from North American SWLs? Mohammed apparently did so by e-mail rather than phone. Usual good signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9395, Saturday Nov 29 at 1335, good signal from Global 24 via WRMI, better than 9400, `Happy Station` from PCJ with Keith Perron introducing Steve & Eydie singing in Hebrew, among several other languages on an album. 1400 on to Old Time Radio, a Bing Crosby show from 9/18/34 (or /44??), sponsored by Woodbury Facial Soap. Both hours are in accordance with their full schedule grid, the only one we have, dated Nov 14
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sfbOQ_lr65W7iIFaD-lnYF7zJuI3RsNtMPoSTFEfmdA/edit?pli=1#gid=0
but which had been updated somewhat since then. As for the recent anomalies, heard from Phil Workman at 0603 UT Nov 29:

``Glenn, The three people that program the transmitter - myself included, are located in NH & Maine where we had a nasty storm that has us without power and internet for days. There is not much to read into other than we hope to back on track on Monday. PW``

Our condolences! Bet they wish they were really in Hollywood FL now. BTW, I haven`t noticed any outages from WBCQ, but without thorough checking (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, Sat Nov 29 at 1355, WRMI with `Viva Miami` in English, Jeff reading reception reports: several Japanese pleased that their language is back (even tho it`s only Christian stuff from Family Radio); and an Arkansas Mrs. who is glad to hear Brother Stair every night. `VM` is cut off before quite ended at 1359 for a revived Bruce Baskin sports minute, billed as being at 9 am and 9 pm Eastern, previewing some event, not current games or scores. Not yet shown on the 9955 schedule grid, still dated Oct 26 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VATICAN [and non]. 17560, Nov 29 at 1440, Mass translated into English, from French, Italian, etc., apparently another VR special, as not usually heard here. Fair signal, and find a weaker and echoier // on 17540. No more //s found in 15 or 21 MHz bands. Time to check the VR special broadcast page (differing from that in the Hitlist) via:
http://en.radiovaticana.va/special-broadcast

The Pope is currently on an ``apostolic journey to Turkey`` and scheduled for 1400 UT today is:

``Istanbul, Cathedral of Holy Spirit, Holy Mass presided over by Pope Francis`` on several internet streams, some with SW:
Channel RV7: in French for the Middle East on kHz 17540 SW
Channel RV9: in English for the Middle East on kHz 17560 SW``

Sites and durations never specified, but can easily be SMG itself.

How about via WEWN? No, regular English programming on squealy 15610, but 12050 Spanish sounds like the same event tho far out of synch.

More to come, excerpting only the one involving SW:

``Sunday, 30/11/2014 at 08.30 am [0730 UT] Apostolic Journey of Pope Francis to Turkey: Istanbul, Patriarchal Church of St. George, Divine Liturgy, Ecumenical Blessing and signing of the Common Declaration

Channel RV1: in English for the Middle East on kHz 17710 SW, for Africa on kHz 21550 SW
Channel RV2: in French for the Middle East on kHz 17830 SW, for Africa on kHz 17600 SW
Channel RV4: in Portuguese for Africa on kHz 21560 SW``

Glenn Hauser logs November 28-29, 2014

** CHINA [and non]. 9875, Nov 28 at 2335, Firedrake jamming is mixed in with CNR1 and target (RFA Tibetan via Lithuania), first noticed about a semihour earlier. We`re lucky to hear any FD at all, let alone all by itself like in good ole days

9825, Nov 28 at 2335, no Firedrake here, just CNR1 and victim (RFA Chinese via Tinian); none in the 8s or 10s

12870, Nov 28 at 2343, very poor talk with flutter, presumably CNR1 jammer; none in the 13s

14980, Nov 28 at 2345, CNR1 jammer, poor with flutter; none in the 15s

16100, Nov 28 at 2347, CNR1 jammer, fair-good and // 14980
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 12035, Nov 28 at 2344, R. Cairo is JBM with humbuzz

9965, Nov 28 at 2345, R. Cairo is JBM supposedly English, no humbuzz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 1510, Nov 29 at 0132 on caradio, dominant signal is Spanish, news headlines mentioning ``estado de Nuevo León`` which is more evidence it`s Monterrey`s XEQI, lacking a real ID. M&W continue conversing. This on vertical car antenna not direxional, with no nulling capability, yet this is atop WLAC, but losing out to it by 0135 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAUDI ARABIA [and non]. 1521, Nov 29 at 0105 on caradio, tell-tale het upon jumble of US stations, so much 1520 QRM that KOKC is unlistenable. A direxional receiving antenna might help, but it`s probably a silly ballgame (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1749 monitoring: confirmed on WRMI 7570 & 15770, Friday Nov 28 at 2130.5, very good and good signals respectively.

Not confirmed at the new time Global 24 had planned, UT Saturday Nov 29 at 0401 on 9395 via WRMI --- jazz until 0405, then classical music filled instead --- again the same Bach piece with applause and 1812 Overture of Chaikofsky we heard this morning and elsewhen as default filler. Apparently they are having power outages, problems feeding scheduled programming to Okeechobee. See separate G24 log. WOR Next:

Sat 0730 & 1530 on Hamburger Lokalradio, 7265-CUSB – this time of year one or both might be audible in northeast America as well as Europe, QRhaM permitting
Sunday 0231 on KVOH 9975
Sunday 1000 on WRMI 5850
Sunday 2300 on WRMI 11580
Monday 0400v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB
Monday 2201 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395; etc.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, Nov 28 at 2311, Media Network Plus is running on WRMI in a Friday-only hour carved out from Brother Scare other days of week, tune in to interview in progress by Keith Perron with someone from Global 24, recorded shortly before they started up November 1. Explains business plan of appealing to SW audience and building up commercial backing. I think he said they have four people selling advertising fulltime. Asked about why on only one frequency 24 hours? They want to establish identity as 9395 station initially, but admit they may eventually have to change, and hope to add more and more transmitter sites as the business grows. I thought it might be Phil Workman, who has been my only contact, but outro as Jeff DeMars (spelling?). I haven`t been able to find this MN+ episode on the PCJ website yet.

Meanwhile, at same time after 23 UT on 9395 itself, `Democracy Now` is airing unlike earlier in the 15 UT hour Friday.

I asked Jeff White what is going on with Global 24 anomalies?

``Glenn: I know they are affected by those horrible ice storms up in the Northeast and I had a message a few hours ago that they are still without power. So I imagine this is the problem.``

``Jeff, Northeast?? Where are they, anyway? Address in Hollywood FL [maildrop]. A lot of background info on G24 is lacking. 73, Glenn``

``They have operations in several locations, but I think programming is coming out of somewhere in the Northeast. Jeff`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1530, Nov 29 at 0153 UT on caradio, string of ads with AC 501- phone numbers, mentioning Little Rock. Also may listen on Smartphone via tune-in to KVDW; ID as ``Z 100.9 and AM 1530``. Not sure about the Z. It`s obviously the station listed in NRC AM Log as KVDW, England AR, 2500 watts daytime non-direxional and no PSSA, // K265EO, 100.9, ``Victory 1530``, UC:GOS/REL format. England is just southeast of Little Rock. Another daytimer on late and thus DXable despite all the other cheaters and WCKY. I thought the translator might be in Little Rock itself, but FCC FM Query shows it too in England with 250 watts, and a CP MOD to put it in Stuttgart with only 50 watts --- that doesn`t make sense as Stuttgart is twice as far from Poca Roca than England is (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VIETNAM. 9840, Nov 28 at 2332, news in English, poor signal, from? Vietnamese clip gives VOV away (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report dispatched at 0525 UT November 29

Glenn Hauser logs November 27-28, 2014

** ALBANIA. 7425, Nov 28 at 0223, R. Tirana signal tonight is very good during IS; 0230 opening English when the modulation is lesser. No problem from the Spanish multi-way USB on 7431 at 0224 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BOLIVIA. 5952.52 approx., Nov 28 at 0211, R. Pio XII, from Siglo XX, poor signal but better than the weak carriers on 5950 & 5955, M&W discussion including Spanish words such as ``alabanza``, ``jueves 27``, but mostly incomprehensible, probably Quechua altho it also emits in Aymara. Haven`t heard this one in quite a while since it was common in our summer (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 6070, Nov 28 at 0208, CFRX with poor signal, discussing Black Friday --- wait a minute, this is Canada, where Thanksgiving was a sesquimonth ago and not necessarily on Thursday. O, it`s about Canadians rushing across the border to shop on B.F. Another check after 0700 when Vatican is finished finds CFRX barely audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, Nov 28 at 0700, RHC in Spanish until 0701* as presumably tacked this on to end of English in RadioCuba`s slopperation. 5040 is open carrier just before turnoff. 6060, 6100 and 6165 are already off by 0701.

9570, Nov 28 at 1402, I am listening to news in English from CRI via CUBA, which I normally avoid as the mind-controlling ChiCom cannot be trusted as objective journalists, but it has IADs and then dumps off the air at 1404*. O, this frequency is supposed to close at 1400 anyway, so this was just overrun, and also means that next frequency 13740 is probably late coming up as so often happens. I do not check it until 1443 when it`s IAD-less.

11950, Nov 28 at 1501 tune-in RHC and hear six words before it cuts to dead air; then I find 11860 has also stopped modulation, while 11760 continues, as well as 9640, 9820, 15230, 15370, 17730 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 9860, Nov 28 at 0240, R. Cairo English to North America is open carrier/dead air upon good signal level

9905, Nov 28 at 0240, R. Cairo, Arabic is just barely modulating good signal and with usual RTTY almost on frequency

9965, Nov 28 at 0241, R. Cairo, Arabic has good level in other Arabic, fair modulation and as always with whine (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GERMANY [and non]. 6105-6110-6115, Nov 28 at 0207, DRM noise, fair signal, no doubt the encrypted Radio Andernach for German militarists. Last week when I looked it up in Aoki for DXLD 14-47, I found this entry:

6110 Radio Andernach(DRM) 0200-0400 1234567 German(Digital) 100 122
Nauen D 5238N 01254E DRM b14

However, today Nov 28 Aoki has changed to:
6120 Radio Andernach(DRM) 0200-0400 1234567 German(Digital) 100 122 Nauen D 5238N 01254E DRM b14 Nov. 17

And on 9 November, Giampiero Bernardini had heard it on 6120 at 0220.

Well, 6110 would be inadvisable by 0300 when R. Fana, Ethiopia comes on, and when I heard that recently from before 0300 there was no QRDRM (nor did I notice any centred on 6120). Not being public, the Andernach schedule is quite flexible.

HFCC doesn`t list Andernach on either frequency, but shows some other DRM around here: 6100 Delhi at 0845-1200; 6115 Minsk 75 kW at 1600-2204. News to me if there is any DRM from Belarus! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 9420, Nov 28 at 0233, ERTOpen with pop/jazz song, good with flutter, // weaker 9935 which is not out of order; nothing audible on 11 or 15 MHz but Wolfgang Büschel has been hearing three frequencies at once. I`m trying to decide whether the singing is in Italian or Spanish, then 0235 outro in Greek as Buena Vista Social Club, English name for a Spanish ensemble (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. 6040.0, Nov 28 at 0209, very poor with talk in unID language. Bet it`s the ubiquitous VIRI: yes, 0120-0220 ``Kazakhi``, 500 kW, 16 degrees from Sirjan.

13570, Nov 28 at 1444, fair signal in Arabic, pronouncing irib.ir in English. It`s VIRI at 1030-1700, 500 kW, 259 degrees from Kamalabad (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [and non]. 11680, Nov 27 at 2235 as I doze, find a piano concerto to accompany, unfamiliar classical music, poor signal with flutter; 2258 no announcement but segué to something lighter; 2300 timesignal and over-assertive woman in Korean. It`s KCBS.

They play a lot of ``unfamiliar classical music`` which makes one wonder: is it ``composed`` by a collective, or does an individual get any recognition? How would Western music critix evaluate this if they could hear it without knowing where it came from? Is it merely derivative?

I would have had much better reception on 11665 from NHK direct, but was mostly talking in Japanese. At 2300 I was tuning from 11665 to 11680 and found the timesignal from Pionguiangue [as Carlos Gonçalves spells it in Portuguese] about one beat behind NHK`s which then went off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO [non]. 2910.0, Nov 28 at 0219 when the noise level is rarely lower, I strain to rehear the third harmonic of XEVT, 970, Villahermosa, Tabasco. Something is here, but it turns out to be mixture of local overload 1390 KCRC and something else, right on frequency, while XEVT x 3 was slightly off. Getting this only on the DX-398, not the PL-880, which is a bad sign. Better time to get XEVT would be pre-sunrise on the FRG-7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6850.55-AM, approx., Nov 28 at 0002, fair with deep fading, rock song, in relay of The Crystal Ship as tipped an hour earlier by John Poet. On the PL-880 with reel-out but also audible well enough on whip only. Off at next check 0151 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6769.9, Nov 28 at 0205, VP signal with old-time-radio; sounds like comedy with studio audience, but can`t make any more out. OTR station hasn`t been listenable here in a long time, and I have never managed to hear it at all on 90m (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1530, Nov 28 at 0153 UT, romantic music in Spanish, with WCKY easily avoided, but hard to get a direxional fix on this; surges to VG level at 0156 UT for ``Qué Buena`` plugging Navidad; 0200 UT music keeps playing thru hourtop vs ESPN from WCKY. 0203 UT apparent full ID but during fade, caught only Qué Buena again. Anyhow, it`s KXTD Wagoner (Tulsa), 5 kW daytimer again on way past sunset (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TAJIKISTAN. 7245, Nov 28 at 0225, very poor carrier with some modulation audible, vs QRhaM SSB adjacently. Presumably V. of Tajik as others in North America have reported recently. Better try earlier at *0200, when Tajik language starts; unfortunately, English is at 0100-0200 on webcast before SW is turned on, but also repeated or prepeated at 1300-1400 when we`re even less likely to get it. Hearing country`s own external service is much more difficult than numerous foreign relays via this site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9410, Nov 28 at 0216, VOT, poor-fair with multi-lingual ID spiel during Spanish service. 9650, Nov 28 at 0238, doing it again already! on the other Spanish frequency which is much stronger here, then on to music. The more they can play this filler, the less they have to produce original programming.

I say again, it would be much more useful if each language were to be identified, one by one, as an aid to learning and language recognition. For us, telling the various Turkic languages apart is quite a challenge. Furthermore, that could easily add another minute to the filler, and of course different versions would have to be produced for each language service (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U K [non]. 7410, Nov 28 at 0227, tones on and off, 0228 just carrier, 0230 announcement in SW Asian language, poor signal, 0231 sounds like time pips but maybe just a sounder. HFCC shows it`s BBC Farsi at 0230-0330, 300 kW, 116 degrees via PRIDNESTROVYE (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1748 monitoring: confirmed on Global 24 via WRMI 9395, Thursday Nov 27 at 2201 after Universal Radio ad and news headlines. Yes, 1748, last week`s show; apparently the automation is still working from last week for the holiday. Equally UT Friday Nov 28 at 0030 it`s 1748.

WORLD OF RADIO 1749 monitoring: on WWRB webcast, preacher interrupted at 0430 UT Friday Nov 28 and soon WOR 1749 starts playing but horribly distorted and stops during intro; restart at 0431.6 and gets a little further. Third try at 0432.5 plays a couple minutes past Bahrain item, 0434 cut off at PBS Yunnan item; stream keeps running silently (until KJV pops on at 0500). At 0441 I check 3185 and find Brother Scare is already on there instead of from 0500, and 5050 is already off. So much for that. Next:

Friday 2130.5 on WRMI 7570 & 15770
UT Saturday 0401 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395 [NEW: we hope 1749 by now]
Saturday 0730 & 1530 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB
UT Sunday 0231 on KVOH 9975
Sunday 1000 on WRMI 5850
Sunday 2300 on WRMI 11580
UT Monday 0400v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB; etc.

** U S A. 9395, Global 24 via WRMI monitoring:

UT Friday Nov 28 at 0002 it`s Jeff White, on `Wavescan` announcing winners of their latest contest. So WS is filling in for the `Global 24 Mailbag`, scheduled Tue-Sat 0000-0030 but which I`ve yet to catch at the 6 pm CS time when I am usually otherwise occupied. Good signal now, anyway, and followed by WORLD OF RADIO from last week, q.v.

Friday Nov 28 before and after 1400 it`s `Jazz from the Left` today instead of KBS or NHK; but by 1452 news from Europe is playing including item about France, then from a US correspondent about UVA. 1454 to Bach fill music, the performance followed by applause, and on to a bit of 1812 Overture, 1500 ID and back to same Bach and 1505 applause, and again the 1812 Overture, this time played out until 1521 switch to rock music. Anyhow, `Democracy Now` not on during the 1500 hour; was it at 12 or 13 today? The morning signal remains good, presumably still on 315 antenna which I hope they retain (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7505.3, Nov 28 at 0201 check, WRNO is still AWOL, unmissed, but for the record (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 3185, Nov 28 at 0215, WWRB with continuous classical organ music, only at 0226 morphing into hymn, ``God will take care of you``; 0232 into preacher opening with howling in country style (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also WORLD OF RADIO monitoring

** U S A. 9475, Nov 28 at 0237, WTWW-1 still on day frequency with PPPP/SFAW. Next check at 0304, has switched to 5830 with Bible reading. WTWW-2 remains unheard at any time on 9930 or 5085 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1160, Nov 28 at 0158 UT, in bandscan I pause here expecting it to be KSL vs KFAQ Tulsa IBOC noise, but ID right away as ``KVCE, Highland Park, Dallas-Fort-Worth`s business authority``. Not sure I`ve heard this one before; NRC Pattern Book shows 35 kW day lobe goes ESE, 1 kW night lobe goes SE. Previous reports in DXLD mention that it has two different sites day and night, the latter being near KSKY on a golf course.

It was late enough for KSL to be propagating, and at next check 0242 UT, I am only hearing KSL with sapphire jewelry ad from Shane.com (? Everyone in SLC must know how they spell Schön?), which is at State Street and 7200 South --- giveaway street grid pattern for SLC; Wave Ventilation Unit; Utah Symphony & Chorus will perform Beethoven`s Ninth at Abravanel Hall on Dec 5 and 6, so go to that instead of bingo night, ha ha. Prices start at $18 (which beats the going rate at the Enid Symphony Orchestra); call 811 before digging and you may save lives (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

KJES no more on shortwave

KJES started as a shortwave radio station back in 1992, and we broadcasted the Word of God for 22 years using shortwave. With the advent of new technologies and the increased shortage of skilled engineers needed to keep us up and running, we have now switched over to web streaming.

Glenn Hauser logs November 26-27, 2014

** BRAZIL. 11745, Nov 26 at 0635, RNA 11780.1 spur remains JBA instead of TIA (totally inaudible).

11745 & 11815, Nov 27 at 0625, distorted spurs well audible matching music on 11780.1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 800, Nov 26 at 0654 UT, Jesse Ventura-like voice and probably JV himself on `Coast to Coast AM` // countless other frequencies like 840, 850 but never synchronized; with KQCV OKC nulled. Presumed CKLW Windsor, Ont., tho also listed as on CJAD Montreal, and low-night-power stations in AL, MO, WV. CKLW does have a minor lobe toward us out of 50000/50000 U4, while KREI Farmington MO in between is 1000/150 U1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA [non]. 6070, Nov 27 at 0629, Vatican bells preceding semi-hour Latin Mass, and can`t detect any CFRX. I suppose it`s still on but not propagating, and/or reduced power (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [and non]. 6200, Nov 27 at 1318, good signal with Chinese talk over CCI, 1321 vocal music, presumed V. of Jinling, Nanjing, clashing with PBS Xizang, Lhasa, TIBET, already using 6200 for many years but in Tibetan.

VOJ moved here some weeks ago from 5860, why? Also a signal on 4920, which would be Tibet // 6200, but too much QRM to make a match with the 6200 understation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also CUBA

** CUBA. 9570, Nov 26 at 1355, CRI English relay via Cuba has modulation cutting off and on, mostly off; and when on, distorted. Starting dispensable `China Studio` language lesson filling end of hours. Wiggle that patchcord!

11950, Nov 26 at 1435, RHC is still on way past nominal 1400*.

13740, Nov 27 at 1438, CRI English relay here has suppressed, distorted modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 15800, Nov 27 at 1432, very poor signal, but enough to tell the talk is very distorted --- must be Cairo! Yes, scheduled 1300-1600 in Arabic, 250 kW, 241 degrees from Abis. No sign of CNR1 jamming which could also be here now and 15 hours a day vs Sound of Hope, per Aoki; nothing else on 15800 (Glenn Hauer, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FRANCE. 15395, Nov 27 at 1438, very good signal with conversation, Farsi? Reverb/echo doesn`t help to recognize it: it`s really Pashto from RFI, per Aoki during this semihour only, 500 kW, 85 degrees from Issoudun --- nothing else on this frequency for 23.5 hours a day (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 9420 & 9935, Nov 26 at 0332, ERTOpen is on.

9420, Nov 27 at 0624, Greek talk and music, good with flutter. Not audible on 9935 or 11645; suspect not all three transmitters are simulfunxional any more (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. 12015, Nov 26 at 1425, Qur`an with RTTY QRM, infesting this frequency all day long; 1427 mentions Iran. It`s IRIB`s Hindi service at 1420-1520, 500 kW, 118 degrees from Kamalabad (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. 5920, Nov 27 at 1325, Qur`an, poor signal, 1327 unknown language, 1330 VIRI chimes and presumed news. It`s the 1320-1620 Kurdish service, 500 kW, zero degrees (or non-direxional) from Kamalabad. Grayline; fading down a few minutes later. Our sunrise today: 1321 UT, to attain 1342 around Xmas (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN. 6055, Nov 27 at 1342, R. Nikkei I is totally in English as usual on Thursdays around now; axually a lesson with a clearly enunciated conversation, M&W discussing communities, child care. Good signal and even better on // 9595, at 1355 about the Yamagata Festival.

Thankfully, this is a good propagation day and the local noise level is lowered as my RF neighbors must be away for some reason. So along with Shiokaze, we are getting more English now from Japan than via NHK (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [non]. 5910, Nov 27 at 1333, Sea Breeze = Shiokaze is in English as usual on Thursdays only from JSR, JAPAN, now sufficient fair signal at the outset. Amid the same sounders over and over after pauses, YL is enumerating brief news headlines, seemingly all attributed to ``Dairy NK``; the dates regressing from November 16 to 13 to 10 by 1338, when ``Flash News`` is ending, Randy Newman piano music, ID ``from Tokyo, Japan``, on to ``North Korean Issues``, interviews about, what else? abduxions (Glenn Hauser, OK,DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [and non]. 6135, Nov 27 at 1344, poor signal with songs, then Korean talk by M&W over Juche jamming noise, so presumed V. of Freedom clandestine from the SOUTH; also an intriguing fast but slight SAH: would that be Madagascar or Yemen? Ron Howard says VOF has English lessons (presented in Chinese, why?) M-F at 1300, Sat/Sun at 1350 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA SOUTH [non]. See USA: 9395 Global 24. Relays keep appearing here when not scheduled

** MEXICO. 870, Nov 27 at 1303, Mexican choral NA is playing, replacing weak Vietnamese from The Metroplex I had been hearing before 1300. At 1304, XETAR Guachochi, Chihuahua sign-on, first by M in Spanish, then by W in presumed Tarahumara --- and then another M in apparent third language [see below]. Many IDs follow, by calls and by La Voz de la Sierra Tarahumara. 1305 local vocal ensemble starts singing same national anthem in non-Spanish, but faded down for more talk in Spanish, station`s mission statement, etc.

1306 mentions 10,000 watts on AM 870 and NO mention of any FM which I thought I heard previously; and via complicated website ``llegamos a todos los países del mundo``. Sked is still 12 hours daily 6 am to 6 pm. Complicated e-mail address; 1308 heard ``interval signal`` of percussion for second time, not exactly drumming. 1309 talk in TT with heavy echo imposed, 6:08 TC in Spanish, temp -4 (brrr ---- latitude is less than 27 N = further south than Okeechobee, but altitude is 2.4 km = 7874 feet, higher than Santa Fe); 1311 history of station, started in 1982y on 860 with 5 kW; at some point stayed on air until 8 pm; 1314 starting to fade. So now is good time to get this on SRS: Enid sunrise today 1321, with another 25 minutes to go before its latest in early January.

XETAR website with much more info is:
http://www.cdi.gob.mx/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=872&Itemid=44
including about languages: ``Un claro propósito de la XETAR es el fortalecimiento de las lenguas indígenas. Así, promueve el rarámuri (o tarahumara), el odami (o tepehuano) y el o'oba (o pima) en sus transmisiones diarias`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also USA [and non] 1000

** MYANMAR. 5985.3, Nov 27 at 1315, vocal pop music, very poor, but no doubt Myanmar Radio, 25 kW roughly N/S from Yangon per Aoki; no longer just a het upon Shiokaze at 1330-1430, which has moved to 5910. Are the Myanmarianese still alternating transmitters, sometimes on 5985.0 even? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 90.1 WBFM, Nov 27 at 0201 UT, KUCO Edmond heard for the first time with joint ID not only for its KBCW 91.9 relay in McAlester, but also for KZCU 95.9 in Woodward --- so long-anticipated acquisition of that station from KCCU Lawton has been completed, and after hopefully repairing the IADs it suffered from for years, now with new input. As of Nov 27, homepage
http://www.kucofm.com is not quite up to date about this; message from GM Brad[ford] Ferguson:

``Our most exciting news is that we are on the verge of closing our purchase of KZCU-FM in Woodward. We are buying it from our sister station, KCCU, at Cameron University in Lawton and, when activated, it will give KUCO a "diagonal" across the state, southeast to northwest.  We would really like to entertain the citizens of Woodward with good Christmas and holiday programming if we can -- just a little paperwork in the way now.``

I assume a call-change will be made, as KZCU obviously derives from ex-owner KCCU which retains various other K#CU relays elsewhere. How about KUCW? FCC Queries show that call not in use by any AM or FM station.

Not that we are likely to hear 95.9 in Enid, too far and a local on 95.7. Must still depend on the fringe 90.1 signal, subject to CCI from Radio Kansas, and seldom quite enough to break into stereo without exterior antenna. This was preceding the first broadcast of `Performance Oklahoma` at 02-04 UT Thursdays.

After 1900 UT Nov 27, I am trying to enjoy Beethoven`s Ninth performed by the City of Birmingham SO, vs the Kansan QRM on 90.1; insufficient signal from KUCO that I can barely get to break into stereo by angling a portable`s antenna just right, holding it up next to the ceiling just long enough to hear the finale before my arm drops off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOMALILAND. 7120, Nov 26 at 0332 check, no signal from R. Hargeisa, as had been regular here around sign-on. It was off for a week or more, but Wolfgang Büschel has been hearing it again irregularly in the 13-14 UT period, as has Terry Krueger in FL (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1749, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 7570, Nov 27 at 1429, Brother Scare seems weaker than usual, presumably because WRMI at 12-21 UT has switched this frequency from 315 to 355 degree antenna, vice versa for G24 on 9395. And, there is some weak CCI underneath 7570. That would be Voice of [North] Korea, on here all the way from 1300 to 2350, 200 kW, 325 degrees toward Europe; French during this hour.

15768, Nov 27 at 1433, another WRMI BS frequency, 15770 has some QRM from RTTY on its low side, I have not noticed before.

21800, Nov 27 at 1429, no sign of Brother Scare via BULGARIA, supposedly newly scheduled at 14-17 UT and heard here on Nov 21 at 1523, Nov 24 at 1406; yet the regular 13m`s are propagating OK on 21630, 21540, 21505, 21470 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1748 monitoring: confirmed after 2200 UT Wednesday Nov 26 on WBCQ 7490v.

However, after 2201 UT Nov 26 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395, the previous edition 1747 is playing. Phil Workman explained later that the power failure last night wiped out their computer programming too and they were still getting things reset.

First broadcast of WOR 1749 confirmed on WRMI 9955, UT Thursday Nov 27 at 0431, very good signal for a change. Also at 1330 Thu Nov 27 when it`s sufficient, but weaker than 9395 G24. Next:

We are Thankful for our affiliates availablizing WOR all these times; why don`t you thank them, too (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. ALL: 9395, monitoring Global 24 via WRMI [if excerpting, please insert frequency]:

Nov 26 at 0332, no signal audible; next check at 0633, poor signal, but open carrier/dead air. Seems there was a power failure at Okeechobee: see also WRMI logs. By 0642, 9395 modulation has resumed with favorite fill music, 1812 Overture, and good signal. Classical piano music is still playing well after 0700.

Wed Nov 26 at 1350, now signal is good, better than usual, as since Nov 25 they have started using a NW antenna between 12 and 21 UT, instead of the NNW antenna previously and still at all other times. I assume this is accomplished by exchanging WRMI-1 with Brother Scare on 7570, WRMI-11, as he is now weaker at 1402 and further chex. See also SOUTH CAROLINA [non]

At 1350 it`s Any Goodman discussing the Innocence Project, so must be `Democracy Now`. Plans were to run this at live time of 12-13 UT instead of 15-16, still repeated at 23-24 weekdays.

Wed Nov 26 at 1400, now opening relay of NHK, which announces the time as ``9 pm in Tokyo`` which means it`s the 1200 UT broadcast delayed two hours, even tho there is another live English broadcast right now on 11695, 11925 via its own hired relays in Uzbekistan, Palau.

Nov 26 at 1457, unknown music, still good stronger than 9400 Pridnestrovye to Kurdistan; WRN outro for KBS, which I guess followed NHK at 1430; a fragment of Feature Story News (FSN) from London, interrupted by Global 24 ID, Marketplace plug, bits of music by Aretha and David Bowie, 1501 `Democracy Now` still at this timing.

Nov 26 at 1758, next check how well 9395 is holding up at midday on NW antenna: still fair signal vs local noise level with R. Slovakia outro. But it`s much weaker than e.g. 9370 WWRB BS and 11825 WRMI BS.

Nov 27 at 0623, very poor 9395 signal instead of usual good one at this hour; 11825 WRMI inaudible. MUF over this path plunged, tho Greece still in on 9420.

Nov 27 at 1326, this day, Thursday, the relay is of KBS World Radio during Seoul Calling, good signal! While essentially nothing on 15575 direct. 1342 on to the ``Thursday corner, Korean Folk Tales``. 1351 recheck, it must have dumped out early as the 1812 Overture music fill is playing yet again until interrupted at 1359 for ``sponsor KBS if you want to keep hearing it`` promo.

After 1400 variety of old-time-radio music and announcements; 1410 jive/white scat, then `Only Have Eyes for You``; 1441 now in an OTR drama.

As often the case, what we hear contradicts the schedule, this one for TG holiday specials:
http://about.global24radio.com/thanksgiving-day-content-updates-specials/
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, Nov 26 at 0635, open carrier/dead air from WRMI, but some pulse jamming audible, and something sending ``N`` over and over in Morse code. Power failure at Okeechobee. Other WRMI frequencies: 9395 G24 also OCDA; 7570 & 7455 & 5850 & 5015 off. 11580 & 11825 inaudible and probably off. 13 & 15 MHz bands are dead anyway.

By 0642 some music has started playing on 9955, still with N`s and pulse jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also SOUTH CAROLINA [non], and separate USA entry for lots of logs of 9395, Global 24

** U S A. 11715 & 7555, as of Nov 26 at 1413 UT I realize I haven`t heard either KJES frequency this month; are they off again temporarily? I raised this question on WORLD OF RADIO 1749 and the DXLD yg, but the replies arrived after I had recorded this week. They have closed down permanently! As announced here (via Kai Ludwig):
http://thelordsranchcommunity.com/kjes-radio-station/

``KJES started as a shortwave radio station back in 1992, and we broadcasted the Word of God for 22 years using shortwave. With the advent of new technologies and the increased shortage of skilled engineers needed to keep us up and running, we have now switched over to web streaming.

You can now listen to our recordings of Scripture and praise music online at: KJES-rio``
http://streams.museter.com:2199/start/kjesrio/

Also with some of their final SW reception reports and illustration of their log periodic; plus linx to history of The Lord`s Ranch. Goodbye to one of the strangest SW stations ever. ``We can`t hear you now`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7505.3, Nov 26 at 2200, jazzy instrumental version of ``Summertime``, has to be WRNO testing on this unique frequency, and the modulation is good!!! Dead air at 2210 check. Tuning by feel without looking at the FRG-7 dial, I at first feared this was WBCQ 7490v with fill music instead of World of Radio, but too strong and later that`s confirmed OK. Next check at 0407 Nov 27, no signal on 7505.3, so WRNO still hasn`t come back to regular programming at 02-05. I suppose Deutsche Welle is not paying for those newscast relays if they even are aware of them (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1749, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5830, Nov 27 at 1441, WTWW-1 with SFAW/PPPP is still on night frequency instead of 9475 which is supposed to start at 1400; Radio Australia benefits, as someone is asleep at the switch on a holiday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 680, Nov 27 at 0638 UT, Bay Area ads, 0641 UT KNBR ID, into basketball scores. Best with IBOC from 670 WSCR nulled, i.e. aimed NW instead of W. Fast SAH of about 10 Hz from something, maybe San Antonio? Despite the silly sports format, I`m always pleased to hear KNBR which is the most distant domestic MW `regular` here, over 1300 miles from San Francisco, slightly further than NYC, whose `clears` hardly ever make it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 930, Nov 27 at 1259 UT, with WKY OKC Spanish music nulled, I am getting Spanish talk from another, soon ID in Spanish for KAPR, 930 en Arizona, ``Ésta es Qué Vale`` (? Not certain of that slogan). Makes SAH of about 5 Hz. KAPR is nowhere listed as Spanish! It had been Christian and/or talk in English, and apparently duplicating 1030 KVOI Cortaro (Tucson).

A recent format flip. How recent may account for the Spanish I had been hearing several months previously around sunrise in WKY null, not with definite ID but hoped to be KHJ Los Ángeles (which is no longer Spanish ranchera, but Immaculate Heart! in English since Nov 17).

I had not considered KAPR since was supposedly English. It`s in Douglas AZ, right on the border, appropriately owned by Sonora Broadcasting, U1 = non-direxional, 2500 watts day, 71 watts night, and ``day`` doesn`t officially start there until 1345 UT in Nov, 1415 UT in Dec. However KAPR does have a PSRA of 500 watts starting at 6 am local = 1300 UT, all year except unneeded when sunrise is even earlier, so maybe it just powered up, tho soon fading (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 1000, Nov 26 at 0642 UT, with KTOK OKC nulled, hearing not only the usual Mexican music from XEFV Juárez, but also some sports talk in English: don`t see how this could be anything but WMVP Chicago despite unfavorable nite pattern. Also ~1 Hz SAH but not clear between which pair of the trio. 0659 UT try to get an ID of sports station, but mainly Mexican dominating with Juárez mention again at 0702. Now I measure the SAH at 42/minute = 0.7 Hz. Anyhow, no KKIM NM which would be preaching, evidently no longer cheating with 10 kW ND day power (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1070, Nov 27 at 1400 UT, ID for KFTI-FM Newton-Wichita, 1070 KFTI Wichita, news but IDs in passing sure sound like KFDI, which was the longtime call on 1070 years ago. KFDI is very hard to distinguish from KFTI even with clear reception.

1402 UT back to Classic Country 92.3 with ``Battle of New Orleens``. Still a fast SAH against some other 1070, maybe still KNX shortly after sunrise here, as 1070 Wichita is always off-frequency, whatever its calls.

FCC Queries confirm that 1070 is KFTI, --- but the same Journal Broadcasting Company also owns 101.3 in Wichita which *is* KFDI-FM. So it should be easy to mix up the calls, accidentally or deliberately (like KFDI provides the news on the KFTIs? The only real call letters on the website
http://www.classiccountry923.com/ are KFDI, for News).

And whatever became of the sale of 92.3 as in this report from Oct 13?

Envision, headquartered in Wichita, is a nonprofit dedicated to making the blind and visually impaired independent and self-supporting when possible. It is acquiring the station to use as a training ground, a revenue source and a messaging platform. . .
http://www.radioworld.com/article/journal-sells-station-to-envision/272804

There doesn`t seem to be any other press about this since mid-October, so I suppose still pending. Should be quite a change once implemented, non-commercial? 92.3 is a plenty big 100 kW signal, altho out-of-town from Metropolis Wichita, in Amtrak railhead Newton to the north.

Meanwhile, Journal is making the best of the AM/FM duplication, with 1070 alone presumably to inherit the Classic Country format. Wasn`t it once AM $tereo? Yes, NRC AM Log still had that marker even during the ESPN Deportes yeara [= era lasting one year]. How many times have I said I must dust off my Radio Shack C-Quam tuner and try it?

I was checking 1070 in the first place, since as I mention on WORLD OF RADIO 1749, NRC AM Switch reported that its call changed Nov 14 from KLIO to KFTI, resuming the letters it had from 2001y to 2010y. KLIO applied to the previous year of ESPN Deportes, and before that to classic rock format on 1070 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7340, Nov 27 at 1349, open carrier with flutter. Per Aoki, the only thing on at this time is AIR Sindhi service, 1230-1500, 100 kW, 10 degrees from Mumbai. Or, possibly on early with carrier is VIRI Russian from 1420, 500 kW, 58 degrees via Kamalabad (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

La personalità del 2014 a Radio Romania Internazionale

Radio Romania Internazionale continua il tradizionale sondaggio rivolto ai suoi ascoltatori e utenti Internet, ma anche ai suoi amici sui social media, invitandovi a valutare quali delle personalità del presente hanno segnato di più, in senso positivo, l'andamento dell'umanità nell'anno che sta per concludersi. In base alle vostre opzioni la nostra emittente nominerà "La personalità del 2014 a RRI".

Chi potrebbe essere e soprattutto perché? Sarà un politico, un leader di opinione importante, un imprenditore, un atleta, un artista, uno scienziato o, semplicemente, una persona sconosciuta al grande pubblico, che però vanta una storia esemplare? La lista resta aperta e la risposta appartiene a voi.

Aspettiamo le vostre proposte, accompagnate dalle motivazioni, direttamente sul sito www.rri.ro, via e-mail, all'indirizzo ital@rri.ro, su Facebook, via fax al numero  00.4021.319.05.62, o per posta, all'indirizzo Via Generale Berthelot 60-64, Bucarest, Romania, casella postale 111.

Vi ricordiamo che la "Personalità del 2013 a RRI" è stato designato Papa Francesco che ha segnato profondamente la scena internazionale in un arco di tempo estremamente breve dall'inizio del suo ministero petrino.

Il 1 gennaio del 2015 sapremo chi è la "Personalità del 2014 a RRI".
