** CHINA. Firedrake Nov 27, before 1400:
9200, poor at 1343; none in the 7s, 8s, 10s
11500, fair at 1343
12230, good at 1344
12300, fair at 1344 --- new frequency! Never before reported by me or anyone in DXLD, and not in Steve Handler`s Nov 15 chart either
15900, fair at 1348; none in the 13s, 14s; 16s, 17s, 18s by 1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 13690, Nov 27 at 1346, RHC on this unscheduled frequency, during `Cuba Campesina` folk music show, obviously instead of the nonsensical Sunday-only usage of 13750 because that frequency is occupied by the DentroCuban Jamming Command and VOA Spanish with seditious programming such as the CB song ``Breaker, Breaker`` at 1349, better audible on less jammed // 15590! 13690 is a handy frequency but scheduled only in the evenings 22-05 to South America. At 1401 recheck, 13690 is off, and at 1402 after VOA is finished, RHC carrier comes on 13750, but jamming is still running underneath: Cuban Commies vs Cuban Commies! RHC kept dumping off and on, so no modulation applied until later. While three big transmitters were running on 13 MHz, at 1356 on 13670, 13690, 13780, the big `un on 9 MHz was still on too, 9850 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTNEING DIGEST)
** MAURITANIA. 7245, Nov 27 at 0633, IGIM is back! Arabic talk over music, frequently mentioning Allah, crescendo to 0659, then 0700 break for ID, seems heavily accented French, or Arabish with a few French words mixed in, such as `Mauritanie`, `dimanche`, into strumming with more talk. Frarabe? Arabench? Last heard here November 2. It was also reported Nov 26 at 1803 by Martien Groot, Netherlands. I assume the chanting segment is still around 0600. Will its activity again be highly irregular, sometimes even all-night, helping out MW DXers to // 783? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [and non]. 21540, Nov 27 at 1353, almost a month after B-11 began, REE and Kuwait haven`t done anything about their collision here on the almost-vacant 13m band; to make matters worse, the clear REE // on 21610 has problems, open carrier cutting off and on past 1354 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN [non]. 6875, Nov 27 at 0630, RTI still in German instead of Spanish via WYFR. One of these nights, surely it`ll be back in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 5980, Nov 26 at 2118, Turkish music is the SSOB but not for long as other signals come up; TRT, 250 kW, 310 degrees from Emirler to Europe at 17-22, and onward to NAm. Same parameters apply except doubled to 500 kW for English to NAm at 23-24 on 5960 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1592 monitoring: UT Sunday Nov 27 after 0500, confirmed on WTWW 5755 webcast. Next: UT Monday Nov 28 after 0400 on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 13845, Nov 27 at 1504, just crackle from WWCR, worse than Saudi Arabia on 15435 (and 21505 before 1500); but clears up quickly on WWCR, so it was just an input program feed breakup. On BSKSA it will probably go on forever (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. MW TP carrier search Nov 27 around sunrise 1321 UT: At 1324, JBA carriers from NW/SE on 774, 882. I must be very careful, as at 1327 there was a stronger carrier on 693, just the right pitch on my BFO 9-kHz-offset steps, but more NNW/SSE and then tone shifted, so from some local source (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6074, Nov 27 at 1300 straining to hear the CW marker as R. Rossii, Pet/Kam signs off 6075. Nothing at 1300, after RR carrier is off, but BFO is on so I listen a while longer, then at 1301 barely make out a V and then an L; unfortunately, L is the only common character to the two possible IDs, 8GAL and 2MTL (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
