** ALBANIA. 7475-, Nov 19 at 0253, presumed R. Tirana is as always a JBA carrier
= just barely audible with BFO on 7474 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** MADAGASCAR. 17640, Nov 18 at 1834, no signal from MWV. Could
it be on but not propagating? I don`t think so, based on K index of 2, SF 79 and
no storms per WWV. On 16m, 17775 KVOH is VG, and 17790 WRMIBS is VP, which is
about normal for closer signals.
11790, Nov 18 at 2202, R. Feda, = MWV
Arabic, good signal with same stinger frequently, separating news headlines? MWV
not known for journalism (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
**
NIGERIA. 15115-15120-15125, Nov 18 at 1842, DRM noise, so V. of Nigeria must be
active today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, Nov
19 at 0103, JBA carrier from R. Chaski until autocutoff at 0104:21.5* and this
time I am positive of that, so my report of yesterday was correct, as this is
six seconds later than that was, until 0104:15.5*. So there had been a reset
before then of about 1 minute earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U K [non]. 5930, Nov 19 at 0113, W&M conversation in SW
Asian language. Fair at S9, splash from 5935 WWCR but that is fading down. HFCC
shows it`s a BBCWS sesquihour alternating Dari and Pashto and Dari at 0030-0200,
300 kW, 95 degrees via Moosbrunn, AUSTRIA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** U S A. 13564, Nov 18 at 1843, GNK beacon, Madison WI, is
detectable on the PL-880 with reelout on the chilly porch (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15220 & 11720, Fri Nov 17 at 2130, the
VOA Creole frequencies make a rough transition from some music, to VOA One-style
rock music rather than signing off. 15220 stays on until 2132* and 11720 until
2133.5*.
15580, Fri Nov 17 before 2130 I had been listening to VOA `Music
Time in Africa`, but rechecking that at 2133 after the Creoles are off, so is
this! Flipped an extra switch? 15580 cuts back on at *2135.4, but now it`s rap,
so I prefer the more pleasant `Blues Radio International` for the rest of the
semihour on 13695 WRMI (Glenn Hauser (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** U S A. 7490+, Nov 19 at 0100, WBCQ with William Tell
Overture and `Allan Weiner Worldwide`, remote from ``Deland of Fla, studio 9``.
Only fair signal with deep fades, so how is 5130? It`s S9 but no modulation at
first, then some non // different music, 0103 joining 7490 and // synch, but
0111 recheck now on a 16-second delay. Better modulation and overall on 7490.
Nothing on 3250 and later he acknowledges it is not on, and work on converting
and installing the new transmitter will not get done until springtime. (But how
about the low-power tests, any more?).
Allan muses again about how he
would like Trump to appoint him to the FCC, where his priorities would be 1)
Network neutrality; 2) Keeping OTA AM, FM and TV broadcasting robust; 3) another
broadcasting band for local communities, extension of LPFM but more for
individuals (i.e., like pirates?). Later he changes his # 2) to improving
broadband and cell phone quality where the audio fidelity is now horrific. And
Allan says he would be willing to put WBCQ into a blind trust if so appointed,
and let Tom et al. run it. Recheck at 0231, now in benedixion (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7730, Nov 19 at 0123 check, this WRMI
transmitter is still down. Or should I say frequency; original sked shows #13 on
7730 night, 15440 day, but I have been hearing 15440 during some daytime chex,
so transmitters may have been shifted around; as previously and still noted,
5950 at night is on a 285 antenna which had been on 7730, a frequency which is
into its third week of absence (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

U S A. 9605, Nov 19 at 0059 open carrier at S9+10 from WHRI, then sign-on with
militaristic crusader theme, ``Onward Christian Soldiers``, 0100 opening KBS
World Radio relay in Spanish, but quite undermodulated. At least tonight, unlike
last night, the 9605 signal is much stronger than the coreligionists on 9600 via
Madagascar. Elsewhere, 31m is almost dead, and so is 25m except for a weak 11780
Brasil at 0125 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED.
3245.0-USB, Nov 19 at 0107, another AF MARS net in primetime as I heard a weak
``AAF`` call go by. They won`t have to worry about QRM de WBCQ 3250v; I wonder
if 3250 was cleared as not anybody`s MARS frequency? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

UNIDENTIFIED. 7210-LSB, Nov 19 at 0135, hamjam music
loop vs a station in Spanish, probably N1NR vs dentro-Cubans (Glenn Hauser, OK,
