** ALBANIA [and non]. 7425, Nov 10 at 0004, R. Tirana in Albanian, not too much QRM from China tonight, but at 0015 can tell there is another station under with SAH, and there is also adjacent interference from 7430, which is VOR via ARMENIA. It would still be better for Tirana on clear 7420. At 0238 checking the 0230 English broadcast, it`s back on the air after a link failure the previous night, but on 7425 again instead of 7420. Drita Çiço says this was an error and it is still supposed to be on 7420. Sufficient signal but undermodulated. I still haven`t caught any opening schedule announcements since B-11 began (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1590, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ANTARCTICA. 15476, Nov 10 at 1312-1322, never any carrier detected this Thursday from LRA36 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 4815, Nov 10 at 0013, sounds like Brazilian talk, ute QRM. Presumably R. Dif. Londrina. Surprised to hear anything semi-intelligible from LA, as all but strongest 60m signals are still mostly wiped out here by line noise level (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 15190, Nov 10 at 0006, R. Inconfidência DJ greeting listeners as his program begins, until midnight [0200 UT]. Fair signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Nov 10, circa 1330:
17790, good with flutter at 1326; vs BBC Uzbek, CYPRUS. Tried BBC // 21590, and no FD heard but Chinese talk, CCI
16980, very good at 1328
15970, good at 1328
14700, good at 1328
13920, very good with flutter at 1333
12600, good at 1333
11500, fair at 1334
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11690, Nov 10 at 1335, RHC is back; altho on new sked, it had been missing a few days, so we were wondering. Also on // 11750, 11760, 11840, but no 12040 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM. 15660, Nov 10 at 1330 good steady signal, only lite fading, with English ID in progress, ``Agat, Guam, following program in Hmong on 15660``, then opening rustic woodwind music like we used to hear from Hmong Lao Radio on WHRI. This semihour is in Hmong on Thursdays and Fridays only, 285 degrees from KSDA, per HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 3325, Nov 10 at 1305, Indonesian talk, news? S9+18, best heard in a long time from RRI Palangkaraya, and now the SSOB surpassing remnant WWRB 3185, Korea 3480. Needs this much signal to have a chance against my hi local noise level on 90m (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9525-, Nov 10 at 1337, VOI has remained on air for a third day in a row during English hour, 1341 ID, music; 1400 English IDs and slogans, IADs, 1401 outro with three frequencies, the others never used, postal street and box addresses, e-mail; 1402 into Indonesian. Before 1400 there was not only the Chinese radio war adjacent QRM from 9530, but a lite audible het on 9525, I don`t know from what (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [and non]. 2850, Nov 10 at 1307, S9+15 KCBS with emphatic Korean talk; 4450 also had Korean talk atop jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA [and non]. 6135, Nov 10 at 0007, VOR Spanish via St. Petersburg, weak 800 kW signal about the same as 6134.8v R. Santa Cruz, BOLIVIA, producing wavering het. Also with bonker QRM on low side (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1590, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN [non]. 6875, Nov 10 at 0619 check, yep, RTI via WYFR is still in wrong language, German. We are counting the days until they fix this or their schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 12035, Nov 10 at 1334, it`s hard to believe V. of Turkey English to Europe is here, but I guess that`s the source of the JBA carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7490, Nov 10 at 0015, WBCQ with `Allan Weiner Worldwide`, must be filling time in addition to its live 0100 UT Saturday airing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5085, Nov 10 at 0335, WTWW-2 is on with open carrier, as George McClintock phoned to check reception: at least S9+20, he says with 30 kW, and up to 60 kW when modulation of PPP/SFAW // 5755 resumes as test. Last Saturday`s inaugural live broadcast had to be scrubbed because the ARRL server was down and publicity could not be sent to its mailing list; and other problems.
If all goes well, that will happen this Saturday, Ted Randall playing oldies and taking phone calls, Nov 12 at 22-24 UT on 9990, 00-04 UT Sunday Nov 13 on 5085. Depending on QRM, that frequency might be adjusted upward towards 5090 or 5095, which has been cleared for use. WTWW 5085 was much stronger than neighbor WWRB 5051 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1590, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VATICAN [and non]. 6075, Nov 10 at 0515, English discussion of medical ethix, stem cells, with someone from Catholic University of America --- I`ll bet it`s Vatican Radio on new frequency; atop some weak co-channel, most likely R.
