Glenn Hauser logs November 29-30, 2016

** ALBANIA. 7360, Nov 29 at 1847, JBA carrier. The PL-880 is still tuned to 7360 following last night`s abortive attempt to hear the People & Stories special via Armenia, so what is this already, only a quarter-hour after local mean noon? HFCC shows CRI French via Albania! at 18-20, 150 kW, 310 degrees from Cërrik, i.e. aimed right on toward us beyond France. CRI does this without even trying, while R. Tirana, Shijak, can no longer reach us while presumably trying (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, Nov 29 at 1850, still not a trace of LRA36 here during alleged ~18-21~ UT M-F broadcast (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EAST TURKISTAN [and non]. 7480, Nov 30 at 0151, humroar is mixing with a bit of talk modulation adding up to S7, i.e. RFA Uighur via TAJIKISTAN this hour. Likely ChiCom jamming rather than defective transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ERITREA. 7146.561-AM, Nov 29 at 1415, JBA carrier, no doubt VOBME-1 by long path; remeasured at 1451, I get 7146.555. I believe my previous report of 7146.600 on Nov 25 was miscalculated, as all reports indicate this one varies hardly at all. And today there is nothing from VOBME-2 near 7175, 7180, 7185, or 7190 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA SOUTH. 7215, Nov 29 at 1408, world news with American accent, VOA? No, it`s KBS World Radio, of course, as per 1413 ID and on to next show. Fair signal direct, 264 degrees for S Asia, so not exactly off the back for us, yet incomparably better than the so-called North American service on 15575, inaudible now during Korean hour, and no doubt also during the preceding English hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MADAGASCAR. 17640, Nov 29 at 1849, still no signal from MWV English. 17640, Nov 29 at 2034, no signal for the other English APR broadcast either.

9495, Nov 29 at 1902, very poor signal with praise(?) song, presumably MWV Russian as scheduled, so active for this unlike preceding and following hours on 17640 in English. JRX in Brasil logged this in Russian, Nov 27 at 1942-1955 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 6185-, Nov 29 at 1856, JBA carrier, slightly on low side, from Radio Educación, OSOB this close to noon at about 1180 miles (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 15115-15120-15125, Nov 29 at 1855, DRM noise indicates Voice of Nigeria is doing it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1530, Nov 30 at 0123 UT, Mexican music dominant, up to S9+30 by 0125 UT when a super-hype voice actor yells an ID but all I can copy clearly is FM frequency ``100.3``. At 0130 UT, ``La estación que marcó la diferencia [. . .], Ke Buena``. By 0134 UT it`s off or outfaded, but 0149 UT seems the same is back with music. By 0157 UT the only Spanish on 1530 is definitely from N/S, i.e. KGBT in the RGV; see log of that under U S A. Surely the original 1530 is 5 kW KXTD Wagoner OK (Tulsa market), daytimer which has been caught before way after sunset. NRC AM Log shows its FM as on 104.9, so what would be on 100.3 in or near Tulsa? WTFDA Database shows:

KCXR 100.3 TAFT 4.0 125.0 35-48-42 95-34-11 QUE BUENA REGIONAL MEXICAN 

But does not show it // to 1530 or any AM. Taft is just west of Muskogee, further than Wagoner, and with 4 kW not really covering Tulsa. That`s why they also have this 29-watter in the big city:

K285GW // KXTD-1530 104.9 TULSA 0.029 0.0 36-06-25 95-47-13 QUE BUENA REGIONAL MEXICAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 6950, Nov 30 at 0155, no pirates, but a readable signal here, which matches 1390 KCRC Enid, of which this is the fifth harmonic. It`s not always readable, so what causes it to vary? Sometimes genuine pirates are on 6950 with no QRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, Nov 30 at 0057, JBA carrier from R. Chaski, Urubamba, until autocutoff at 0105:35*, which is 33.5 seconds later than last check Nov 25 until 0105:01.5*, averaging 6.7 seconds later per, just right on the expected slippage (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA. 5960 // weaker 7325, UT Wed Nov 30 at 0120, I`m monitoring RRI English hour to North America for what it really contain. Now it`s economic info about Romania, outro until 0124 as `Bizness Klub`, then `Cultural Events`. 0141 recheck, now reading reception reports, including from Japan, someone in Mississippi who couldn`t get enough DRM signal, Kazakhstan, Russia, outro until 0146 as `DX Mailbag`, then `People & Places`. OK, what does the online schedule say? A good match for the 0300 LT Nov 30 listings:

The same lineup is shown for two hours earlier, English 4 at 01:00 local = 2300 UT Tue, and for three hours later, English 6 at 6:00 local = 0400 UT Wed. English 1, later the same UT day at 14:00 local = 1200 UT, has a different set of programs. If I back up to ``yesterday`` = Tuesday, the same set shows for English 1 at 14:00 local = 1200 UT, English 2 at 20:00 local = 1800 UT. However, all the Monday broadcasts are shown as `Listeners Letterbox`, just to confuse things. The DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS page is being updated, but we`re not yet sure about what happen on Sat & Sun, as the RRI schedule page shows only 5 days at a time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOMALILAND. 7120.0, Nov 29 at 1457, JBA carrier from presumed R. Hargeisa, long path. Nothing here earlier in this hour during its break, to resume at 1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 7570, Nov 29 at 0725 via WRMI, Brother HyStairical yet again playing back the bit about his plans to be on 100 SW frequencies and attacking me for being an ``antagonist`` who just doesn`t get it. Au contraire, he`s a deluded egomaniac, dangerous to anyone who believe him (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U K [non]. 7445, Nov 29 at 1847, barely audible carrier, just after noon here, no doubt BBCWS in English, 250 kW, 315 degrees from MADAGASCAR, i.e. aimed at us beyond West Africa. This is BA compared to JBA on 7360 Albania, i.e. stronger than that, but not sufficient for anything beyond the timesignal which seems to finish 1 or 2 seconds late after 1900; due to satellite feed routing? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1853 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday November 29 at 2130 on WRMI 15770, fair. NOT confirmed UT Wed Nov 30 at 0056 for the WBCQ 9330v-CUSB broadcast scheduled for 0030. (Nor any signal detectable during the next sesquihour.) Meanwhile, 9265 WINB is S6. Next:

Wed 1415.5 WRMI  9955 to SSE

Wed 2200   WBCQ  7490v to WSW

Thu 0030   WBCQ  9330v-CUSB to WSW

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9330v-CUSB, UT Wed Nov 30 at 0201, no signal from WBCQ during scheduled `Amateur Radio Roundtable`, the frequency still alleged for Nov 29 at

http://tmedlin.com/blog-3/

Nor on 5130v-AM. Neither frequency has been on/audible tonight during the past sesquihour. He moved from 5 to 9 MHz for better summer propagation, but ought to hurry up and move back to 5 for winter (tho even that signal here has been very poor lately) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5850 // 7730, Tue Nov 29 at 0724, both these very good  WRMIs are // and again playing `World Music` instead of BS. Probably also repeated `Viva Miami` mailbag at top of hour to a quarter after.

7730, UT Wed Nov 30 at 0057 check, more World Music on WRMI before switch at 0100 to Brother Scare.

11530, Nov 30 at 0059, WRMI ID in Spanish for 9955! at S5, YFR IS and Fámily Radio remnant Spanish service (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7490.03-AM, WBCQ, Nov 30 at 0116, rock songs; 0126, Johnny Cash`s Folsom Prison song, interval of swearing at a cop, YL song; 0130 ABC News sounder and ``Deadfrog News Break``, faux nieux about ham radio correlating with balding; 0132 song about pizza pie; plenty of F-bombs. `Deadfrog Radio` is the weekly 01-02 Wed show produced by a guy allegedly really imprisoned. Could easily pass for a pirate (of which there were none to be heard on the 6.9 MHz band tonight). (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9275, Nov 29 at 1850 check, still no revival of DEJOM on WMLK. Nor at 2034, when it`s also too early for 9265 WINB to have come on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17775, Nov 29 at 2036, KVOH is still on more than a sesquihour after nominal 1900 sign-off, with praise music in Spanish splattering about 12 kHz above and below, not quite reaching 17790 WRMIBS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5085, Nov 30 at 0153, WTWW-2 is blasting in at S9+55 with Xmas music, 0202 ID, and into QSO Live. It was not on earlier in the 01 UT hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1530, Nov 30 at 0157 UT, Spanish ad in dólares, somewhat American accent, loops N/S unlike the Ke Buena I was getting earlier, i.e. KXTD Tulsa. Maybe that daytimer finally went off by now. This is certainly 50/10 kW KGBT in Harlingen TX, a Univisión América affiliate, but no top-of-hour ID, right into a song (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs November 28-29, 2016

** CUBA. 9565-9595, Nov 29 at 0131, CRI English relay on 9580 is buzzing/crackling out to a 30-kHz range, including QRMing the other CRI English relay on 9570 via Albania, which is quite weak relatively tonight. And the ChiCom thought it was smart to situate // relays only ten kHz apart! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GERMANY [non]. 7360, Nov 29 at 0230, JBA carrier for the publicized `Menschen und Geschichten` special in English to North America. (Not 7250 where originally planned, belatedly thinking better of broadcasting in the ham band.) FARMENIA is not exactly ideal site for transmitting to North America. Thanks for trying (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MADAGASCAR. 17640, Nov 28 at 1813 check, still no MWV English. Suspect only one transmitter is operational and being used this hour for Russian on 9570. One of them is certainly active and well audible after 2100 on 11610 in Chinese to Europe (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEWFOUNDLAND. 6159.96, Nov 29 at 0138, JBA carrier, presumed CKZN, which I was not hearing at all 19 hours earlier so maybe very low MUF then, as Philip Hiscock who lives 5 km from it, says he`s not noticed any outages. But CKZU, also on 6160v remains off so at last maybe with better propagation we can hear CKZN without CBC vs CBC CCI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENNG DIGEST)

** ROMANIA. 5960 // 7325, UT Tue Nov 29 at 0142, RRI reading reports from listeners including bits of provided info about their towns, etc. 0145 music break and more until 0152.

This contradicts listings in DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS which has Listeners Letterbox from the Saturday 18 UT thru Sunday 12 UT broadcasts; or is it DX Mailbag? I did not hear a program title. DXM we have at xx40-xx45 (only 5 minutes) into the hour-long UT Mon/Wed/Fri broadcasts, but this is UT Tuesday. I fear other entries are for wrong days. RRI`s own detailed program sked display inconveniently defaults to local time of UT+2, but can be changed to UT or rather GMT 0:

http://www.rri.ro/en_gb/program

For ``today`` November 29 Tuesday, it does not show either program on the 0100 broadcast! But DXM on the 12 & 18 UT; LL on the 04 only for Tuesday. For Nov 30 Wed, DXM is shown on the 01 & 04 emissions only.

Perhaps the display is confused about days of week vs timezone conversions, and/or the programmers are. Most stations would repeat a certain day`s program content into the next UT day for North America where it is still the previous day. And when you go from one day to another you have to keep resetting the timezone for UT. Most user-unfriendly. Only hours of monitoring could sort out what they are really doing --- and then, would it be consistent? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 7730, Nov 29 at 0127 via WRMI, Brother HyStairical is replaying yet again his April attack on antagonist Mr Glenn Hauser. I happen to tune across 7730 again at 0225, and there it is again. Apparently playing it every hour circa :25 past, as per additional logs. Tnx for all the publicity, Ralphie! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1853 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday November 29 at 0030 on WRMI, 7730, as expected now that frequency is reactivated; good, but not very good signal. 7780 is still off. WOR also confirmed UT Tue Nov 29 after 0030 on WBCQ, 9330v-CUSB, JBA on the low side. Next:

Tue 1200   WRMI  9955 to SSE

Tue 2130   WRMI 15770 to NE

Wed 0030   WBCQ  9330v-CUSB to WSW

Wed 1415.5 WRMI  9955 to SSE

Wed 2200   WBCQ  7490v to WSW

Thu 0030   WBCQ  9330v-CUSB to WSW

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 11580, Nov 28 after 1400, WRMI with World Music while all the other frequencies except 9395 and 21675 are BSing. More World Music before 2100 on 11580, and after 2100 on 9955; at first with some lite pulse jamming, then clear. So there are three hours, or parts of hours, still World-Musicking on Mondays and probably other days (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9475-, Nov 29 at 0132, WTWW-1 is S9+25, always off to the low side, but dead air instead of SFAW. At 0133 some bits of distorted audio attempting to break thru; wiggle that patchcord! Back to dead air. Still so at 0149, vying with WEWN for wasting the most watts. 9475 still dead at 0154, but 12105-, WTWW-3 is not only on in Russian, but propagating at S9+20. WTWW-2 is neither on 9930 nor on 5085 and their four spurs each (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15610, Nov 28 at 2106, WEWN is S9 but deeply fading during seemingly secular news, but outro before 2108 as ``Ave Maria Radio News``, so it`s bound to be tainted. 15610 had been inaudible and presumed off seven hours earlier.

5810, Nov 29 at 0145, WEWN Spanish is S9+40 but dead air. Meanwhile, 11520 English is OK at S9. I leave a radio on 5810 and no more modulation until turning off transmitter just before 0154 instead of modulating it all-night; until then, at 5 times the rated power of WTWW, WEWN would be the winner in the wasting-watts sweepstakes, at least on a minute-by-minute basis (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9275, Nov 28 at 1813, WMLK still silent (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7635.2-USB, Nov 29 at 0134, 2-way in Spanish, closing with ``buenas noches`` and called each other by name rather than callsigns. Not INTRUDERS, in this range: that`s for broadcasters (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity 21 - 27 November 2016

Solar activity was at very low levels. The largest flare of the
period was at B6 at 22/0010 UTC from Region 2612 (N09, L=194,
class/area Hax/230 on 25 November). No Earth-directed CMEs were
observed.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was
moderate levels on 22-24 November while high levels were reached on
21 and 25-27 November. The largest flux of the period was 25,245 pfu
at 27/1625 UTC.

Geomagnetic field activity ranged from quiet to G2 (Moderate)
geomagnetic storm conditions. Enhanced geomagnetic activity was due
to recurrent, positive-polarity, coronal hole high speed streams (CH
HSS). The period began with solar wind speeds near 330 km/s on 21
November with an increasing total field from approximately 1 nT
early in the period to near 12 nT by 22 November and a fluctuating
Bz component between +10 nT and -8 nT. Solar wind speed increased,
thereafter, to near 510 km/s by 23 November while total field
decreased to near 3 nT. Another enhancement in total field was
observed late on 23 November to a maximum near 11 nT on 24 November
before decreasing to 5 nT by 25 November. Stepped increases in solar
wind speed occurred at 24/0514 UTC from 400 km/s to 500 km/s and at
25/0144 UTC from 500 km/s to near 700 km/s. The geomagnetic field
responded with quiet to unsettled levels on 21 November, quiet to
active levels on 22-23 November, unsettled to G1 (Minor) storm
levels on 24 November, unsettled to G2 (Moderate) storm levels on 25
November and quiet to unsettled levels on 26-27 November.

FORECAST OF SOLAR AND GEOMAGNETIC ACTIVITY 28 NOV - 24 DEC 2016

Solar activity is expected to be at very low levels with a slight
chance for C-class flares for the forecast period.

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is
expected to be at normal to moderate levels with high levels likely
on 28 November-07 December, 10-18 December and again on 22-24
December due to recurrent CH HSS influence.

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at quiet to unsettled
levels on 28-30 November as the geomagnetic field recovers from
positive polarity CH HSS activity. Unsettled to active levels are
expected from 07-11 December and 19-24 December with G1 (Minor)
geomagnetic storm levels likely on 10 and 21-22 December due to
recurrent CH HSS effects.

Glenn Hauser logs November 27-28, 2016

** CANADA. 6160-, Nov 28 at 0634, no carriers at all from the CBC stations. Walt Salmaniw in BC near CKZU had noted its absence as of 1640 UT Nov 27, to which Colin Newell, also in Victoria, replied ``Gone for around 6-7 days now. They've had a PS [power supply?] and modulation issue for weeks now. I'll check with my technical contact``. 

But I`m not hearing anything either from CKZN Newfoundland. Hope this is mere coincidence and temporary. Both of them had been slightly below 6160, a variable few Hz apart from each other (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9535 // 9710, Nov 28 at 0530, RHC does it again, keeping Spanish frequencies on air late but in unscheduled English, also // 5040, 6000, 6060, 6100, 6165. The ultimate is by far the worst, barely modulated, and the penultimate, 6100, by far the best.

11830 & 11850, Nov 28 at 0530, RHC has resumed broadcasting parasitic spurs attached to 11840 Spanish transmitter running late. Still on at 0641, when 11840 is S9+20, and I again can make a // match to both spurs. But 9535 & 9710 English are now off. One more try to view a current B-16 transmission schedule:

http://www.radiohc.cu/interesantes/frecuencias

NO, it`s still ``Abril - Noviembre 2016`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EAST TURKISTAN [and non]. 5060, Nov 28 at 0001, VP Chinese at S7; also 4980, at 0004 Nov 28, non-Chinese talk at S7; also 4850, at 0002 Nov 28, JBA carrier at S5 = noise level; also 4500, Nov 28 at 0003, JBA carrier. These all correlate with Xinjiang PBS, Urumqi, the language services being: 5060 Chinese, 4980 Uighur, 4850 Kazakh, 4500 Mongolian. Also Chinese at S7 on 4800, which is CNR1 via Geermu.

5959.96 approx., Nov 28 at 0007, het here to Turkey overrun in German, no doubt also Xinjiang in Chinese, always off-frequency low (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, Nov 28 at 0650, JBA carrier from presumed SIBC. Earlier and earlier I need to keep trying to detect it, nominally starting at 0500 switch from 9545. Honiara sunset is 0727 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 7730, Nov 28 at 0527, WRMI with Brother Scare getting a lot of mileage out of replaying an attack on ``antagonist`` Mr. Glenn Hauser, originally aired last April (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 5960, Nov 28 at 0007, German talk on poor signal, i.e. VOT failed to turn off English to North America transmitter before 2400, but it could go off at any moment when sloppyrators at Emiler get around to it. Maybe slightly on hi side, but certainly with het on lo side from East Turkistan, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 13565-CW, Nov 28 at 1504, K6FRC HIFER beacon from California barely audible, vs CODAR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1853 monitoring: confirmed UT Monday November 28 at 0030 on WBCQ, 9329.94v-CUSB, fair, after the WBCQ IS & ID loop as early as 0027. Also confirmed UT Monday Nov 28 at 0401 on Area 51 webcast, and presumably same on JBA WBCQ 5130+AM. Also confirmed on WRMI 9955 after 0430 UT Mon Nov 28, good. Next:

Tue 0030   WBCQ  9330v-CUSB to WSW

Tue 0030   WRMI  7730 to WNW

Tue 1200   WRMI  9955 to SSE

Tue 2130   WRMI 15770 to NE

Wed 2200   WBCQ  7490v to WSW

Thu 0030   WBCQ  9330v-CUSB to WSW

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 3215, Nov 27 at 2358, weak carrier cuts on and off and on and off --- possibly exciter of WWRB, as I am trying to determine its true schedule. I leave a receiver on here and nothing more until *0011 UT Monday Nov 28, now at full power S9+45, the standard canned WWRB YL ID with phone number, plea for new customers, then into keyboard music, at first sounding accordion, but without pumping. Second tune I recognize, Waltzing Matilda! (Which reminds me, does WWRB ever play any more the Radio RSA IS before sign-on, as if were their own? Kindred spirit to apartheid.) This music continues without announcements for almost the rest of the hour, nice but no tunes I recognize. 0056 switch to some banjo music, 0059 into a talk show but I don`t keep with it, avoiding risk of repulsion (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5890, Nov 28 at 0005, OMG, it`s Terry Blalock the Blaster on WWCR! Besides his daily hour on WBCQ 9330. WWCR sked now shows Full Gospel ``Hour`` for only one semihour UT Mondays at 0000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15610, Nov 28 at 1422, no signal from WEWN English day frequency. Normally very poor, but not even a JBA carrier now, so off? 

12050, Nov 28 at 1425, WEWN Spanish day frequency is S9+10 but only a big buzz! By 1502 recheck, no less buzz but added modulation promoting the cult of the virgin; and still nothing on 15610. This RCC station is really ailing, with third transmitter completely down (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17775, Nov 28 at 1505, KVOH is S9+20 but with strange noises! Soon explained as example of ET signals on `Frecuencia al Día`. That`s the lead story on this episode: ``EE.UU. | La Radio, la "Gran Oreja" y la Señal Wow! Informe con Eusebio Sánchez`` about SETI at Ohio State. Wrong program! Mondays at 1500 on KVOH sked is supposed to be the other Spanish media show, `Antena DX`, with FAD at same times on Fridays. 

Next item is monthly DX report from Pedro Sedano of AER, who claims that Cairo in Spanish at 0045 is on 9315 and 12005 --- but I`ve heard no trace of the terrible transmitter on 9315 since B-16 began; good riddance.

KVOH carrier is wobbly as usual. Still, no sign of the `new` transmitter they have been trying to install for months/years, and no sign of resuming English evenings on 9975 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 6045, Nov 27 at 1342, CNR1 jammer with good signal during Chinese opera; vs unheard VOA Chinese at 12-14 on 6045 via Thailand. // weaker signals on 6105, 6125 and  almost as strong on 6180. Of those, only 6125 is legit, the others jamming Taiwan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11840, Nov 27 at 0621, RHC Spanish still on here and at S9+10 level --- yet no spur carriers detectable on 11830 & 11850, which ought to be, with that fundamental signal level. Have they been eliminated, or 11840 switched over to a different transmitter for this? Possible, since fundamental now has suptorted modulation, not previously the case on 11840. At 1447 note that 11840 is off; all my previous logs of it during new morning transmission were during the 1300 hour, so apparent intentional closing circa 1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ERITREA. 7175.0, Nov 27 at 1411, weak signal with music, so VOBME-2 has jumped again. On any occasion it could be on here or 7180, or 7185, so not much point in reporting specific QSYs. 

7146.557, Nov 27 at 1413, weak signal with music, VOBME-1; both via long path along with Ethiopia 7235.61 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ETHIOPIA [and non]. 7235.61, Nov 27 at 1353, presumed R. Ethiopia in usual off-frequency range, first noted as het upon stronger 7235.0 VOA Korean via Tinian, measured at 1409; by long path, along with the Eritreans. Also with intermittent QRhaM on 7235-LSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MADAGASCAR. 17640, Nov 27 at 1853 check, MWV English is still missing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 9690, Nov 27 at 1458, REE IS at S4 with CCI, before India ends? This is for North America at 290 degrees, while 15390 for Mideast in exact opposite direxion 110 degrees, is much better S9, a fine example of MUF/LUHF trumping azimuth, which REE does not understand. No signal on 15500, one of many wooden alternatives in HFCC, some of them with wrong timespan starting at 1600 weekends, obviously a mistake in CET (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** UGANDA [non]. 15240, Sunday Nov 27 at 1853, presumed Luganda talk on fair signal from R. Munansi via WWRB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9930 // 12105, Sunday Nov 27 at 1854, unusually WTWW-2 and WTWW-3 are // with amateurish hymn about Jesus coming since we`re having earthquakes, etc. Yeah, right. I suppose it`s Scriptures for America, since the same thing is also on 9475, WTWW-1, but not synchronized, like the other two (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9275, Nov 27 at 1853, WMLK is still off, altho the engineer should have been back for a week to fix stuff. No further update on their FB since Nov 7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs November 26-27, 2016

** CUBA. 5025, November 26 at 0715, R. Rebelde is talking about ``la pérdida de nuestro comandante``. I just caught a minute or less of RHC English before 0700* on 5040 et al., but probably nothing about Fidel dying as the single English hour is recorded at 2000 UT or even earlier and then repeated over and over. I`m not going out of my way to listen to Cuba, altho it is an historic occasion, since RHC is all about the Fidel personality cult all the time, anyway. Enough is enough.

15140, just before 2100 UT, now ``Ed Newman`` is acknowledging some condolences. How many ``good riddance`` emails did they have to throw out, or: file for future retaliation. If a dead person is ever worthy to be spoken ill of, Fidel is it.

6000 & 6165, Nov 27 at 0102, both RHC English frequencies are dead air, in tribute to dead Fidel? 0103:40 they finally start barely modulating, and now are prepared to mention his passing. But one would have to strain to hear them, not worth it.

5025, Nov 27 at 0110 tune-in, at first no Rebelde but weak 5024.9, no doubt Quillabamba, Perú. Then RR cuts on and off and on, playing an ancient unpolished recording of a group singing ``El Himno 26 de Julio``, a.k.a. ``Qué viva la Revolución`` which would also become RHC`s theme (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MADAGASCAR. 17640, Nov 26 at 1851, no signal from MWV APR in English (Glenn Hauser, oK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 730, Nov 27 at 0152, YL DJ giving two phone numbers for requests/dedications, each only once and too fast for me to copy. (I thought I had a decent digit span.) She mentions Ciudad Jiménez, so I`m sure it`s the usual dominatrix, XEHB, Hidalgo del Parral, Chihuahua, certainly not desportive XEX (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 760, Nov 27 at 0148, conversation in Spanish, mentions pelota, so about sports, way over WJR and looping approx. ENE/WSW. Then WJR fades back in but still a hefty collision. Don`t see how it could be any US station, but one of four in NW Mexico: XEDGO Durango2, XENY Nogales, XEEB Ciudad Obregón, or closest XEES Chihuahua2. IRCA has no format for the latter, a.k.a. Antena 7-60, but the others are musical, two of them romántica. 730 Chihuahua is inbooming even more (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6924.96-AM, November 26 at 2136, S9 music with a heavy beat, almost disco with lyric ``Causin` me a heartache`` over and over. At 2140 up to S9+20, but no announcements past 2146+. A bit early for me to hear pirate activity, but four later logs here from further east between 2223 and 2314 say it was Liquid Radio:

https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,31281.0.html

I would agree with the ``thumpage`` description (Glenn Hauser, OK< DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950-USB, Nov 27 at 0053, rock music, song yelling about radio; 0057,  ``Listen to the radio, pirate radio`` song; 0100 Wolverine Radio ID. Only S9, not as strong as it could be, noisy band, and off at recheck 0121 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA [non]. 1650, Nov 27 at 0132 UT, I`m getting two Spanish stations, Denver and El Paso, and one sports English, Iowa, but NO religious music from KFSW Sallisaw, which is of course our closest. Something continues to be very strange with this station, not up to even 1 kW ND night power, or not on the air at all. It has become a mere appendage of a 98.7 translator, but don`t forget the AM still has to exist on the books; and on the air? (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** UGANDA [non]. 15240, Nov 26 at 1851, poor signal here with talk in presumed Luganda, Radio Munansi, via WWRB. No sporadic-E enhancement this time, equally poor to 15825 WWCR. 15240 is still on at 1905, for another hour? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 13565, Nov 26 at 1430, K6FRC HIFER CW beacon from California as the coincidental ham call implies, is JBA, vs CODAR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1853 monitoring: as usual now, not confirmed the 1530 UT Saturday Nov 26 broadcast on Hamburger Lokalradio via MV Baltic Radio, as 7265-CUSB via the UTwente SDR gets nothing but CRI Hindi via Kashgar (and maybe some Azad Kashmir Radio mixed in). Does HLR overcome all that anywhere in Europe?

WOR 1853 confirmed Saturday Nov 26 at 2330 on WBCQ, 9330-v-CUSB: WOR theme is JBA, slightly on low side. Also confirmed UT Sunday Nov 27 at 0421 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, four minutes in so started circa 0417. Next:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7780, Nov 27 at 0118, this WRMI is still AWOL, while its corresponding day frequency, 15770, was not when checked around 2100 Nov 26 with Dub Politico (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 3215, Nov 27 before 0200, WWRB is active again for a three-day weekend/start with usual horrible audio.

3195, recheck at 0209 after jump to avoid WWCR on 3215: now with the anti-Semitic preacher(?) who sees evil Jewish influence everywhere, including making Fidel and Che Marxists; and NYC mayor he claims is a secret Jew. Apparently live, and takes satisfactory signal reports on the phone. How long does this transmission last? Not checked again until 0420 when it`s off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** U S A. 660, Nov 27 at 0156 UT from east/west, PSAs in English for Rotary and US EEOC, some network news on hour and ID finally at 0203 UT for KTNN Window Rock AZ plus a couple of other Navajo towns in rotation. Meanwhile at 0159 UT another(?) 660 station was giving silly football scores for teams in the east, as I hoped for a rare WFAN ID --- which KTNN is supposed to be protecting with a null, but not now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** YEMEN [non]. 11860, Nov 26 at 1436, Republic of Yemen Radio, is S9+10 at tune-in; think I heard a couple Qur`anic notes, but then into usual triumphal music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED [non]. 1040, Nov 26 at 1958 UT, I`m tuned in on the caradio a bit earlier than yesterday to catch an ID from the mystery station which was carrying Dave Ramsey from 2007 UT on Friday. There it is, weak but steady. This time the Clark Howard show is upwrapping, TD America ad (how many Unitedstatesians know that TD stands for Toronto Dominion?) And now at 10 seconds before 2000 UT, ID time! Which is dead air! Grrrrr. Then Fox News Radio, 2002 UT USFS Wildfire PSA from Ad Council, 2003 UT more ``news``, 2005 UT ``News talk 960, KGWA`` --- so 1040 is a +80 kHz spur from one of my locals, not WHO nor KGGR nor KCBR. And it makes a SAH of ~6 Hz with one of them. What are the chances of a spur being that close to ``on`` frequency? Did KGWA fine-tune it?

I`ve never noticed this before. Now, is KGWA 1040 produced by my Nissan caradio, or really there to be heard on other receivers? I`m not hearing it at further part of Enid, but maybe it`s just a worse signal/noise level. At 2126 UT I try it on the NRD-545 --- yes, it`s audible and // 960. Spurs usually come in matching pairs, so how about 880? Even here, KRVN Nebraska reaches us adequately on daytime groundwave, but with the PL-880 on 960 and the NRD-545 on 880, I can make a // to an 880 undersignal. I had previously suspected anything daytime under KRVN would be a remnant of KJOZ in SE TX, if not further skywave.

So all three of our Enid AM stations, besides producing weak harmonics and low-SW mixing products with each other, are also spur producers:

1390, KCRC as previously reported, constantly puts almost matching modulated hets on 1420 and 1360, plus and minus 30 (but not exactly) kHz, and weaker second order ones at different pitches, near 1330 and 1450 = plus and minus ~60.

1640, KZLS, puts at least one spur on about 595 kHz, subject of a transmitter search which took me out into the wilds of Garfield county a few weeks ago (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED [non]. Re: ``5150, November 25 at 1407, JBA AM carrier. Wonder if it`s the pirate relayer again, which was quite active at all hours a few weeks ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)`` Yes! :

Glenn Hauser logs November 25-26, 2016

** ANGOLA. 4949.7, November 26 at 0053, JBA carrier, so RNA is back after missing a few nights. Thorsten Hallmann says it was also missing a few German evenings, but audible again by 1800 November 25. Bruce in New York using a remote in RSA was hearing the frequency November 25 at 1849. Then Bill Bingham in RSA definitely had it from 2050 to 2130 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ANGUILLA. 1610 kHz, November 26 at 0147, PMS is weak but not distorted, unlike // 6090 which along with day frequency 11775 is always distorted now. // 5935 a slight reverb apart from WWCR is not distorted either, so that narrows it down to a problem with The Valley SW transmitter. 1610 has some Spanish CCI, presumably CHHA Toronto (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 680, November 26 at 0205 UT, quick weather break with temps plus and minus 3, i.e. Celsius, i.e. Canada, i.e. CJOB Winnipeg. 50/50 kW U4 night pattern supposedly goes only NNE (and day pattern only has a little tail to the south). Before and after this I was getting 50/46 kW U1 CBW much stronger, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 990, November 26 at 0153 UT, CBW Manitoba with `As It Happens` I really should listen to more, kicker story about an ad in Britain being banned because it called for messing with bean cans whose sharp edges might cut kids. (Meanwhile I hear co-city station CJOB 680, q.v.). After the news, at 0210-0216 UT, `The Current Review` has a very interesting interview with a linguist who was advisor to an Amy Adams movie about aliens, deciphering their language. That would be ``Arrival`` I`ve yet to view (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 2598-USB, November 26 at 0054, S6 robot YL with marine weather in English, mentions Newfoundland Standard Time. It`s MCTS Placentia, VCP via St Lawrence, Nfld. site starting at 0048 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENIN DIGEST)

** CHINA. 11820, November 26 at 0056, S5 signal with song in Chinese, off at 0057*. HFCC shows it`s CRI, 500 kW, 200 degrees from Xi`an in Yue = Cantonese (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ERITREA. 7175, November 25 at 1412, JBA S6 signal with HoA music, no doubt long-path VOBME moved again from 7180, 7185. 

7146.600, November 25 at 1413, music at S7, no doubt the other VOBME around slightly variable off-frequency, long path. See also ETHIOPIA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) Hargeisa by now is off 7120

** ETHIOPIA [and non]. 7236.03, November 25 at 1415, carrier here at same time I am getting the Eritreans lower, so presumably EBC External service, R. Ethiopia, scheduled this hour in Arabic; frequency drifting upwards as I try to measure it. An equally weak signal on 7235.0 in the way: CRI Chinese via Kashgar or IBB Korean via Tinian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MADAGASCAR [and non]. 7445, November 25 at 1926, I`m scanning 7 MHz band whether anything is propagating yet, less than one hour after local mean noon: only this JBA signal, which is BBCWS in English, 250 kW, 315 degrees from Talata also USward at 1600-2000.

7445, November 26 at 0045, S4 from algo, now scheduled as BBC in Dari via Woofferton (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 810, Nov 26 at 0202 tune-by, ``Radio Rey, Reynosa, Tamaulipas,`` ID in passing in the mix as I happen to be aiming N/S. That`s XERI, 1000/100 watts per IRCA, not bad! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 6184.99, Nov 25 at 1927, JBA carrier is the only thing on 49m less than an hour after local mean noon, suspected XEPPM Radio Educación active in the daytime, not enough to detect modulation if there be any. Same offset when checked November 26 at 0048 with some undermodulated music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. Where have all the pirates gone? It`s been weeks since I`ve logged one on the 6.9 MHz band during various evening bandscans; just YHWH on 7410; see ROMANIA [and non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also UNID 5150

** OKLAHOMA. 890, Friday November 25 at 1700 UT, KTLR OKC, `Broad Spectrum Radio` with Serena Blaiz of Peace Buzz, on Islamophobia in Oklahoma, where state rep. John Bennett held a session October 25 at the capitol on ``radical Islam`` and accused some audience members of being terrorists. She goes on to interview someone from CAIR, but cut off at 1714 UT for BST contact info, as this is only for a quarter-hour. Perhaps we`ll hear it later on the WBCQ 7490 UT Friday 0030-0100 broadcast. More about the episode and link to original full hour:

(Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA [and non]. 7410, November 26 at 0219, S6 conversation, must be French from RRI this hour. Just checking in case Station YHWH should reappear, but frequency is not free until after 0300, and he was always good at picking clear channels. 

Meanwhile, Ron Howard heard ``Joshua`` last night, November 25 at 0322-0417* on 7335, but never IDed as Station YHWH, so Ron just calls it a religious pirate now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1853 monitoring: UT Saturday November 26 at 0039, JBA carrier on 9330, so apparently WBCQ is on, and if so, would be playing WOR (9265 WINB is JBA but S3, while 9475 WTWW is S9+35!) 

Regarding Hamburger Lokalradio: Ivo Ivanov says last Saturday at 0730, Switzerland in Sound played instead of WOR; HLR assure me that this week WOR is all set to run at the proper time. I`m concerned by the East Turkistan/Pakistan QRM blocking 7265 in Europe for the next airing Saturday at 1530. So this week, HLR is experimenting with a third time for WOR on their other 1 kW frequency, 9485, Sunday November 27 at 1130. It looks as if there should be no QRM to that. Please let HLR and me know how well it`s heard in Europe and beyond.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7490, UT Saturday November 26 at 0100, WBCQ is very poor at S4 in noise, but enough to detect William Tell Overture theme to open `Allan Weiner Worldwide` --- but not enough to copy what`s being said, so I may as well go on out to see the fireworx as downtown ``Enid Lights Up the Plains`` (no, not Planes). 

Once back, I try again at 0217 and hear ``Over There``, the WWI warmongering song being played, which would be odd for AW to be doing on this show. After it, I can now tell it`s J.P. substituting, as he invites calls to an 845 phone number, and mentions WHVW.net and plugs his own show `Shortwave Saturday Night`. Neither now nor earlier was I hearing anything on 5130v or 3250v which might have been // (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5950, November 25 at 0703, Brother Scare is JBA but // 7570, so now 5950 is really WRMI, presumably back on the 181 beam.

5850 // 7730, November 25 at 0705, `Viva Miami` mailbag is playing unscheduled again 24 hours after last logs here, now UT Friday.

9455, November 25 at 1901, the WRMI day frequency corresponding to night on 5950, southward, is on but as always, very poor with BS. Also on is 15770, the day frequency of absent 7780.

5950, November 26 at 0227, very poor signal in English, WRMI to the south, but not // BS on 7570. Then I do find 5950 is // VP 11580, and they keep mentioning Ukraine, so indeed RUI as scheduled on 11580 only at 0200-0230. No ID break and at 0230, 11580 goes right into Radio Prague in English, but now 5950 is no longer //, into World Music, African (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17775, November 25 at 1857, KVOH is VG level, but overmodulated and distorted, splattering plus/minus 10; 1859 Spanish ID and off before 1900*. No formal sign off and no English, and no `Frecuencia al Día` as they played one week ago on Friday. Was not audible at all from *1400 nominal sign-on, westward MUF not built up yet if really on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15555-USB, November 25 at 1902, WJHR ID, near Pensacola, addresses, VG signal at 45 dBu peaks on the PL-880, while its nearest neighboring SW station, 15610, WEWN, is only 27 dBu. That`s 1 kW vs 500 kW per WRTH. Partly explained by sporadic E with a 27 MHz MUF according to DXMap, via a patch right over the ArkLaMiss tri-state area, halfway between there and here. At 1917 I`ve switched to the NRD-545 and get WJHR with S9 peaks, WEWN averaging S6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15610, November 25 at 1917, WEWN averaging S6, and with pronounced echo as if long/short path. Since it`s only 1 megameter away, that makes it 39 Mm by long path.

12000-12100, November 25 at 1919, span of buzz coming out of the 12050 WEWN Spanish transmitter. Barely detectable at the edges, worse and worse the closer in, and fundamental itself is far from clean. Strangely, when presumably same transmitter is on 5810 at night, no such problems. At least the mess out of 12050 is not nearly as bad as it was a couple weeks ago much louder and extending past the 12105 & 12160 USA stations (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9917.1 & 9942.9, November 25 at 1922, parasitic spurs of 9930 where WTWW-2 manages to modulate today with `Dave Ramsey` show, rather than dead air for hours and hours yesterday, except for commercial inserts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9275, Nov 25 at 1925, still no signal from WMLK, not repaired yet. The other Pennsylvanian, 9265 WINB is not on either, too early under current bookings to start at 2045 weekdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1040, November 25 at 2007 UT, `Dave Ramsey Show` is opening --- the only thing unusual in a MW bandscan on caradio from a quiet location in central Enid, seeking early low-noon skywave. I tuned in too late for any local ad or ID, but figure it`s WHO Des Moines. However: Rush is on their sked at this time. There are only two other possibilities in this part of the country: KGGR Dallas, which is religious, and KCBR Monument (Colorado Springs) which is hip-hop (if active, and not to be confused with VOA Delano). `Dave Ramsey Show` website agrees it is on other stations in those markets, so what in the world did I get? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5150, November 25 at 1407, JBA AM carrier. Wonder if it`s the pirate relayer again, which was quite active at all hours a few weeks ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6162 approx., November 25 at 0655, weak RTTY INTRUDER has wedged itself in between CBC and RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7480, November 26 at 0044, the humroar is here again at S5, perhaps jamming warming up for the 0100 RFA Uighur broadcast via Tajikistan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9445.50-USB, November 25 at 0646, INTRUDERS, 2-way in colloquial Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
