** ALBANIA. 7470, Nov 25 at 0250, no signal from R. Tirana, not even a JBA
carrier. Think it must be off, as still getting 40m signals on 7395 & 7340
from Romania, even 7445 BBC Oman tho very poor; not to mention 9420 Greece, 9410
& 9650 Turkey in Spanish. Tirana not on ex-7425 either, but I should have
plumbed 7465 thoroly in case it slipped back to that alternative (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRIA. 6155, Nov 25 at 0650, classical
music, good signal from Ö1, usual morning wake-up session and a pleasure to hear
on SW, but over all too soon, into German talk. I think the music starts around
0630 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6165, Nov 25 at
0649, checking RHC English: no signal on this; 6100 is S9+40 but dead air; 6060
is S9+10 and also dead air, then cuts off at 0651* when 6000 is still
programming at S9+20; and 5040 is also off. Something very wrong at the
transmitter site(s) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA.
9445, Nov 25 at 2100, AIR GOS in English news, 2105 Comment`ry, 2110 classical
Indian music, but by 2115 or so it`s back to talk feature, as I am trying to nap
by it. Fair signal, while // 11670 is now blocked by RHC. By 2138, RHC is off,
and AIR 11670 proves to be quite weaker than 9445 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 650, I had left the R75 tuned here before
sleep, in case I awaken early enough to get SRS from XETNT, but no, at 1413 UT
turn on, a heavy mix which soon proves to be KRMG 740 and local KCRC 1390 with
ESPN. I have been running it with Pre-Amp 2 for max gain, but now it`s
overloaded, and lose the mix if I back off to Pre-Amp 1 or preferably Pre-Amp
off. How 1390 and 740 would internally mix upon 650: the difference between 1390
and 740 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAO TOME. 9830, Nov 25
at 0638, African language with LAH about 0.1 kHz on hi side: is DW Hausa this
semihour only, but jammed?? Nothing else scheduled. Perhaps less likely: second
harmonic of a Brazilian off-frequency from 4915. Yes, having shut down its
Rwanda relay, DW now gets to take time away from VOA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** U S A. Larry Will
notifies us Nov 25 of an imminent special Nov-26-27: ``Pirate Joe will be doing
a special live Thanksgiving show from WHWV Hyde Park on WBCQ 5.110 MHz Thursday
5-8 p.m. US eastern time (2200 to 0100 UTC). We'll also be running the show on
the Area 51 webcast if conditions aren't favorable for you. http://wbcq.com Regards, Larry Will`` (Glenn Hauser,
WORLD OF RADIO 1801, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 12105, Nov 25 at
2141, open S9+20 carrier, dead air yet again from WTWW-3, failing to Bible
Worldwide and burning 100+ kW for nothing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 1420, Nov 25 at 0730 UT, weather mentions Quad Cities,
so it`s WOC Davenport IA, briefly overcoming CCI including local KCRC 1390 spur.
5 kW day and night patterns go NE and WSW, so good enough (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN. 15620, Nov 25 at 1514, another check of RVA
Filipino via SMG, which was really echoing yesterday. Again it is, as if it were
long/short path echo, but no, the echo is steady and as strong as the original,
and mixed with music including ``boing`` SFX, rather frivolous for the Voice of
God, don`t you think? No echo on the music, so it`s a studio imposition, trying
to impress/fool us, but just impairing readability (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** YEMEN [non]. 11860, Nov 25 at 2054 and still at
2140, nothing but a JBA carrier can I draw from the clandestine ``Radio Sanaa``.
Saying it`s via Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the new DXLD yg member I referred to in
previous report is in Algeria, not Tunisia; my mistake. Now I`ve heard from
another contact:
``Esteemed Glen[n], Just heard here in Jeddah the
clandestine broadcast of Radio Sana on 11860 kHz with patriotic songs up to
2100 UT from which a clear ID announcement by OM and followed by news read by OM
(Jawahar Shaikh, 2114 UT Nov 22, WORLD OF RADIO 1801, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)``
Ivo Ivanov says it`s a 50 kW transmitter, non-direxional from
Jeddah, but how does he know this, or is it just an educated guess? Anyhow, the
span is 04-09 & 18-23 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15770, Nov 25 at 2052, open carrier, dead air, good
signal, probably Greenville warming up here to take over 15580 at 2100 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
