** ALBANIA. 7470, Nov 7 at 0229, R. Tirana is JBA with IS, so has stayed here
for a week now, ex-7425, where the Greenville leapfrog is just as strong/weak
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ARGENTINA. 15345.17, Nov 6 at
2216, RAE has an S9 signal, but it`s just barely modulated, can`t determine the
language, but should be Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 15325, Nov 6 at 2215, no signal from R. Gazeta, which
had been reported reactivated with futebol, by Cassio Secundino Borges Santos
Secundino on Nov 3 but without specifying the time heard. Argentina is S9 on
15345.17 at this time, and a JBA S3 signal on 15190.00 may not be R.
Inconfidência since it`s not off-frequency altho nothing else scheduled (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 9900 & 9800, Nov 6 at
2229, no signals from R. Cairo English to Europe, on the usual or alternate
frequency. Don`t think that propagation is that bad, so off? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 530, Nov 7 at 0637 UT, EZL
music from R. Enciclopedia (overdue for a new name), CUBA, can be heard without
K530AM Vance AFB QRM if I null the latter, far enough away from the 10?-watt
pointless TIS, still playing in rotation same old stale off-topic PSAs from Ad
Council as in previous years. If not completely nulled, makes fast SAH, as
reactivated K530AM is slightly off-frequency to low side. If there is ever an
emergency at the base, I`ll be listening whether the nonsense is overridden for
something useful (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA.
960, Nov 7 at 0727-0730+ UT, local KGWA Enid is open carrier/dead air with some
hum, and nulling it as much as possible at 0729 UT I can hear one or two English
stations, but no ID. The ones I used to get most in the midnight Fox-hole were
KMA IA and KGKL TX. No telling how long before or after this KGWA was dead
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non?]. 6080, Nov 7 at
0627, very strong open carrier, as VOA is about to start; 0630 recheck with rock
music, evidently JIP as this is Saturday, instead of news, and as everyone
knows, nothing ever happens on weekends. Registered as SAO TOME as I noted in
Oct 30 log, and still as such in latest HFCC B-15 info. However, this is so
strong that I am now suspecting that Greenville is substituting, perhaps for
maintenance at Pinheira; also that should have been on continuously from 0500 to
0700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF
RADIO 1798 monitoring: confirmed Friday Nov 6 after 2130 on WRMI 15770 &
WRMI 7570. The latter continues to be the better one here now. NOT confirmed
Friday Nov 6 at 2330 on 5850, where had been for a few months.
The WRMI
frequency/program grid has now been updated to show this slot occupied by R.
Ukraine International and // 11580 which is what I was hearing at 2357 check,
but cut off in progress at 2359:30 for Keith Perron ID, and 0000 Nov 7 into RSI
in Slovak.
Another WOR broadcast dropped is Sunday 2300 on 11580.
WOR also NOT confirmed Saturday Nov 7 at 1538-1557 on 7265-USB Hamburger
Lokalradio; Utwente SDR is getting nothing but S Asian music from CRI Kashgar.
(Last week WOR was well atop.) 1540 during talk segment I can now hear another
station under but unsounds like me! Aoki shows Azad Kashmir Radio, 100 kW from
Pakistan is also on 7265 at this time, but suspected it was imaginary. Next for
WOR:
Sat 2030v WA0RCR 1860-AM ND?
Sun 0415v WA0RCR 1860-AM
ND?
Mon 0400v WBCQ 5110v-CUSB Area 51 to WSW
Mon 0430 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Tue 1200 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Wed 1415.5 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Wed 2200
WBCQ 7490v to WSW
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A.
9955, WRMI revised program grid as of Nov 6 shows R. Eslovaquia Internacional in
Spanish not only at 1130-1200 daily except Sundays, but also at 1330-1400 M-F!
So my logs last few days of RSI in ``wrong`` language Spanish instead of English
at 1330 are now contradicted by the schedule, as if intentionally changed, tho
doesn`t make sense. Presumably R. Prague at 1300-1330 except Sundays remains in
English; it`s shown as R. Praga Mon-Thu at 1100-1126 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7490.00, Fri Nov 6 at 2214, WBCQ seems right
on-frequency during `Behaviour Night` = ancient music recordings, and VG signal
with no BBC Thailand QRM audible. If/when WBCQ fades, skips over part of N
America, BBC will likely appear (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** VATICAN [non]. 7425, Nov 7 at 0229, Vatican R IS is JBA from
Greenville leapfrog of 7305 over 7365, about to close; while ALBANIA remains
escaped to 7470, but not any stronger, with propagation degraded (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 5925, Nov 6 at 1315, very poor
talk in unknown language, marred by humwhine seemingly self-imposed. HFCC shows
only thing is CNR from Beijing; Aoki says it`s CNR-5, but also lists Voice of
Vietnam-2 during this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 17805.50-USB, Nov 6 at 2220, very poor 2-way
INTRUDERS, probably in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
