** AUSTRALIA. 9850, Nov 21 at 1520, rock music on VG signal. It`s merely R. Australia, 40 degrees from Shepparton at 15-17, instead of 9580 at 70 degrees until 15; wasting 3-4 hours a night with Triple-J music, not even breaking for news on the hour. At least we have NEW ZEALAND, q.v. on 9700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11745, Nov 21 at 0654, RNA 11780.1 spur but with ACI from two Chinese, q.v. on 11750 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. 11750, Nov 21 at 0654, heavy CCI in Chinese, two about equal level. Instead of CNR1 jamming, it`s CNR1 in effect jamming CRI! Aoki shows CRI English at 06-07 via ALBANIA at 140 degrees (off the back = 320 degrees USward); and CNR1 at 06-08, 37 degrees from Shijiazhuang 723 site also USward.
11980, Nov 21 at 0656, CNR1 is also here, with CCI, but in this case it is jamming R. Free Asia via TAJIKISTAN at 03-07 per Aoki.
12190, Nov 21 at 1348, CNR1 jammer, good with heavy flutter. Per Aoki, target here is 100 watts of Sound of Hope, Taiwan relaying R Free Asia
12980, Nov 21 at 1348, CNR1 jammer, good with heavy flutter
13920, Nov 21 at 1349, CNR1 jammer with usual ute QRM here
13530, Nov 21 at 1349, CNR1 jammer with CODAR QRM; none in the 14s
16970, Nov 21 at 1350, CNR1 jammer, poor

** CUBA. 11760 et al., Fri Nov 21 at 1505, RHC starting `Sonido Cubano`, which on alternate Fridays presents the Cuban top 10 as surveyed from Cuban radio stations, based on http://pistacubana.com
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY. 15150, Nov 21 at 1515, South Asian music and talk, fair-poor, ``Adventist World Radio`` ID in passing pronounced in English. It`s Punjabi at 1500-1530 via Nauen (which at 1530-1630 continues with Gospel for Asia) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 11645, Nov 21 at 0654, ERT Open, good with Greek music // 9420, but now 11645 has whine like infested 9935 earlier, no doubt same Avlis transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 6185-, Nov 21 at 0648, XEPPM is still on with soft jazz, and stronger than 6180 Brasil, reversing the situation of yore. So Radio Educación is running an hour or so past normal sign-off which is now 0600 UT. This keeps happening on unpredictable occasions (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 9700, Nov 21 at 1354, music and applause, 1355 ID in passing as ``Kia ora, Radio New Zealand International, the Voice of the Pacific``. Good signal, as RNZI is once again on wrong frequency instead of 5950 which would be fading out by now; 9700 is supposedly scheduled only at 1551-1745! Did it start at 1300 after switch from 13840?
1400 timesignal and `News at 3 o`clock` starting with Obama on immigration, Republican denouncings. 1405 weather; 1406 David MacKenzie reading ``The Fire Of Life``, by A P Gaskell, with musical accompaniment. This is part of the All Night Programme on RNZ National. 1457 Potayto/Potahto song, 1500 `News at 4 O`Clock` leading with a different story than an hour ago; by 1518 during detailed coastal weather it`s much weaker as the MUF at first reflexion point must have fallen (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES [non]. 15100, Nov 21 at 1515, Tagalog talk and music, VG signal yet backwards way off target area, CIRAF 38-39 which is Libya, Egypt, Turkey to Yemen: R. Veritas Asia relayed back by Vatican Radio, during this hour only, 250 kW at 107 degrees from SMG (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 21800, Nov 21 at 1503, here`s Brother Scare on a surprise new frequency, poor signal, and 4 seconds behind 9980 WWCR. In fact, it`s the SSOB with the only other 13m station a weak 21540 Kuwait. Not in HFCC, Aoki, or EiBi, which don`t go above 21795 on 13m. However, BULGARIA has reserved this frequency for 24-hour usage (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1748 monitoring: confirmed on WWRB webcast, UT Friday Nov 21: 0429 previous preacher stops, dead air and hum, starts WOR playback but stops amid intro; two more tries gets it to keep playing from 0431, overmodulated and distorted on webcast, but better on 3185 then checked, only some hum.
