** ALBANIA. 7475-, Nov 22 at 0229, R. Tirana IS is JBA at S5, but so is the
noise level when tuned to nothing else on 7470 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** ANGUILLA. 6090, Nov 22 at 0240, PMS modulation is suptorted as
has been the case for several days, also on day frequency 11775. Who cares?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 540, Nov 21 at 1303
UT, CBC news, as CBK Watrous is in, not too commonly, so where is La Ranchera de
Paquimé? Canadian angle obvious, but checked 990 for // stronger CBW Manitoba,
yes. 1313 UT recheck, now CBK is local, YL with Saskatchewan weather, -3 now in
Regina and Saskatoon. I used to put non-ITU callsigns like ``CBK`` and ``CBW``
in quotation marks since CB- calls really pertain to Chile (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11830 & 11840 & 11850, Nov 21 at 1327,
RHC is still on this formerly evening-only frequency, very strong along with its
much weaker plus/minus 10 parasites.
11840, Nov 22 at 0221, is very
poorly audible about like 11760 (and 11670 too?), // powerful 6060 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 1020, Nov 22 at 0308, ``RR``
once a minute underneath KOKP Perry OK semi-local sports talk. The RRs fire
about a sesquisecond after true minutetops of WWV. Also a het from about 1019.9,
but can`t tell if that`s Radio Reloj or elsewhence. WRTH 2016 shows no Cuban
clox on 1020, but three other stations, and this isn`t even an overnight filler
switch.
Terry Krueger`s Cubalist as of Aug 29, 2016, does not show a
current Reloj on 1020, but in 2003-2006, Reloj audio was used as a jammer
(against Turks & Caicos?) from Jorobo, Las Tunas. The current Radio Artemisa
here might explain it, as Greg Hardison recently heard Reloj overnight on
another Artemisa frequency, 770 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** GUATEMALA. 4055, Nov 22 at 0208, R. Verdad with good S9+20
signal, doing very well for 700 watts direct, hymn in Spanish about salvación. I
haven`t reported it in a long time, as always audible at night, but fond of
station I discovered and which soon became the last living Central American SW
station. Dr Madrid hasn`t said anything for months about the mysterious
worldwide relay network on same frequency without using SW
transmitters.
Speak of the angel! Just before despatching this report, I
receive from Dr Madrid cc of a reply to a reception report from Costa Rica, in
which he says there is no postal service (currently?) in Guatemala, so only
E-QSLs can be sent (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA.
4760, Nov 21 at 1323, JBA carrier, presumably ANDAMAN or KASHMIR, culminating my
downward scan of 60m encountering many other frequencies matching AIR ones; the
only one with some audio is 4920 with music and talk (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MADAGASCAR. 17640, Nov 21 at 1841, again no signal
from MWV English which ought to be audible if on.
11790, Nov 21 at 2213,
however is MWV on in Chinese, instead of scheduled Arabic! Chinese this hour is
supposed to be on 9535 from other transmitter. I see that no 11790 MWV
transmission is in Aoki of Nov 14.
7390, Nov 22 at 0230, MWV La Voz
Alegre in Spanish at S9+20, aside 7385 WHRI at S9+30, but mostly evitable with
USB tuning and narrowed bandwidth. YL is making a quick talk outroed as Segunda
Juventud from http://aarp.segundajuventud.org and
then another one with financial advice; 0233 into hymn song with nice
harmony,
Weblink above adds www. and claims it is registered with Network
Solutions, Coming Soon. Separate search of American Association of Retired
Persons website does have plenty Spanish but I can`t find that name included
(second childhood). Or is it name of their magazine?
7390 has another MWV
Spanish broadcast scheduled the next hour, but not even a carrier at 0321, altho
7385 is huger. This could be because MWV is limping on only one transmitter,
causing variations in its schedule. Now in B-16 at 03-04, the other transmitter
is supposed to be in English on 15670, which I haven`t even checked, assuming no
reception, but has anyone heard it? The sole funxional transmitter could be on
15670 instead of 7390, which after all would just be repeating the previous
Spanish hour. (But 15670 would then be prepeating the 0400 English on 11825 ---
unless it`s New Life instead of African Pathways) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 650, Nov 22 at 0316, Spanish music over WSM
without even nulling it; 0318 Radio 65 singing ID, i.e. XETNT Los Mochis,
Sinaloa (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 800, Nov 21 at
1306, ad mentions El Paso, Zaragoza, so XEROK is in, but touchy to get it past
KQCV OKC, nulled as much as possible. Almost sufficient at sunrise, but no
borderblaster (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA.
15225, Nov 21 at 1525, S9+10 with long-winded guy on phone in Arabic; Starts at
1450, 500 kW, 295 degrees from Riyadh. Aoki says this is the Call of Islam
program, but not Qur`aning now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
**
SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, Nov 21 at 0711, JBA carrier from presumed SIBC ---
earliest I have heard it on 60m, but quite possible since Honiara sunset is
0724, and at latitude -10, varies little less than an hour during the year.
Recheck at 1321, the 5020 carrier is still there. Ron Howard confirms its Wantok
FM relay ran until 1454* today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
**
SUDAN. 7205, Nov 22 at 0238, S5 open carrier, presumably Omdurman rather than
someham (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 9410, Nov 22
at 0217, VOT is VP at S4, can`t tell at first whether Spanish or Portuguese,
then check // 9650 also reading S4 but good enough to tell it`s Spanish as
scheduled. Why would it be Portuguese? Not even on the VOT SW schedule anywhen.
Because, see this in DXLD 16-46:

!! It`s supposed to be in Spanish, and has been whenever I`ve heard
it. There was no Portuguese service anytime in WRTH 2016. So a recent
change? No doubt the PY1 can tell the difference (Glenn Hauser,
DXLD)``
Other Brazilian DXers also questioned this. TRT certainly has an
active website in Portuguese, but no SW frequencies are shown. There are
podcasts, four hours each!:
Perhaps
they put one of those on the air by mistake instead of Spanish, or as an
experiment? They make LOTS of mistakes.
I listened to the opening of the
21.11 ``radio broadcast`` [sic], and it mentions only website, nothing about SW
frequencies (or satellite). Then news in Luso, not Brazilian accent. After 7
minutes, to press review in even heavier Luso accent. But they must say the
English word ``Portuguese`` when referring to web!
Could it be that one
frequency was in Spanish and the other in Portuguese on Nov 15? Possibly, but
soon tonight I manage to // them both in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** U S A. 9955, Nov 21
at 2137, WRMI with World Music at unexpected time, contrary to skedgrid showing
Overcomer daily 15-22. (Maybe the whole block has been moved up an hour, since
it`s taken over the 14-15 UT hour?) 2156, jamming starts to ramp up, for the
additional weekday hour of `Overcomer`` 22-23 still on sked but which is really
the originally secret prepeat of Radio Libertad, adding to the overt time of
00-01 UT, and risking continued jamming in between at 23-24 when innocent
programs radiate.
5950, Nov 21 at 2222, another surprise appearance of
World Music, from Mideast at the moment, and VG signal as still on the 285
antenna, but only until 2230 when ``Christian New Age Radio on Shortwave``
starts. Host says he never listens to himself, Rev. Frederick Moe. Brief
comments and plays soft new age music, quite a respite from all the screaming
gospel huxters. Based in New Hampshire.
Familiar name: See DXLD 3-055,
of April 1, 2003 near the bottom under JAPAN, the same Frederick Moe? for his
comments about Radio Lavalamp, remember that? Used to carry WORLD OF RADIO.
5950,
Nov 22 at 0032, now 5950 is off, and still off at 0242. That makes at least
THREE WRMI frequencies off the air, along with 7730 and 7780, but maybe only two
transmitters, as 5950 apparently temporarily replaced 7730 but not with the same
programming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9275, Nov
21 at 1841, no signal from WMLK, nor has there been for some time. Are they
totally off again? Yes, but back soon? Here`s the scoop from their FB, where
they keep us up to date on their multi-problems, more than can be said for many
other stations; plus some earlier posts not yet quoted here:
WMLK Radio
November 7 at 6:12am ·
We have developed a logic problem in the timed
interlock system. The logic controls will be repaired when the Engineer returns
to the station in about two weeks. He is currently on an overseas mission. As he
was working on the logic circuitry before he left I will not intervene into his
work. Therefore WMLK Radio will be off the air awhile longer! Please be patient.
The circuitry is still adjusting to full load requirements! Thank
You!

Each day at WMLK
Radio brings something interesting, to say the least! We have been nursing along
a major contactor switch. It has been weakened from the years of use by the
former owners, Swiss Com. It began to trip the breaker beginning this year but
we kept it going, sometimes barely! A week ago from last Monday it really
started to give up. I repaired the system it is in and got it going again. But
it just can no longer handle the load and requirements of the
circuitry.
Another contactor switch is on order and is supposed to arrive
Monday next. The original switch as seen in these pictures was put in service in
1973, not bad for the number of years in service.
'You can see the flash
arcing inside the contactor here. This is in the modulation circuit and the high
level of audio modulation we now produce finished it!'
'Here is the
contactor taken apart. I systematically cleaned each part, reassembled the
components and placed it back in the circuit. It lasted under low level
modulation for a brief time and then failed. Our Engineer advised replacement
and so we shall!'

Antenna repairs were completed and WMLK Radio returned to the air today
at its broadcast time of 12:00 (noon DST east). We have high winds that cause
serious oscillations, and this causes excessive pressure on the components high
up in the air. We also cleaned the antenna spacers of bird dung. Birds like to
sit on the lines during the day. Praise Almighty Yahweh for the ability to have
in house knowledge to perform these repairs!
'Where the failure
occurred!'
'The finished repair!'
'The parts that failed!'

It seems that Satan was working
overtime at the headquarters of the Assemblies of Yahweh and at WMLK Radio over
the weekend! The AOY server went down, WMLK 24/7 audio crashed, and the antenna
feed line separated. We have been having high winds in our area. Many tree limbs
broken off of the trees here and around our local area! Remember that Satan is
the prince of the power of the air...Eph 2:2.
'Horizontal feed-line
severed. High winds evidently caused a weak spot. This can be repaired on
premise!'
'Feed-line from another angle!'

WMLK Radio has been broadcasting for almost two weeks now. We have
received reception reports from Europe (several countries) New Zealand (very
good signal and audio), and assorted places in America.
There were 564
earthquakes from 09/16/2016-09/22/2016, and now from 9/23/2016 to 9/30/2016 574
more. That is over a thousand since WMLK Radio went back on the air! Is this a
sign from Almighty Yahweh?
Mark 13:8 --- For nation shall rise against
nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there shall be earthquakes in divers
places; there shall be famines: these things are the beginning of travail. Thank
you for your kind words, patience and support for WMLK Radio! (via

Please! Give the Oklahoma oil & gas industry due credit for
most of those quakes! Rather, Satanic (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** U S A. 13695 [non], Nov 21 circa 2100 UT, I am trying to
listen to WRMI with Slovakia, on the portable G8 in a medical office where SW
penetrates better than FM KOSU! But the receiver is overloaded and I also hear a
WTWW ID in the background, and then Financial Survival??? If so, that would be a
new station for it besides WWCR and WBCQ, but which WTWW? Supposedly Dave Ramsey
runs until 2200 on 9930. Did not have a chance to search it out further.
Financial Survival is a show pushing gold and silver as a smart investment
before the imminent apocalypse ---- if so, Melody, why are you selling precious
metals in exchange for intangible ``money`` instead of hoarding it yourselves?
For suckers (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9475, Nov
22 at 0225, WTWW-1 is still on with SFAW at S6. It would be prudent to switch to
5830 by 0100 now, but seems they are waiting until 0300, i.e. 9 pm CST, like it
was 9 pm CDT = 0200 UT during DST (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 11870, Nov 22 at 0220, no signal from WEWN Spanish, nor
have I heard it at all for several weeks. B16 schedule for it is 00-10 UT, along
with 13830 and 12050 at other hours on the Caribbean/S American beam. I have
heard 12050, but it`s also in use part of the day on the Mexico/Central America
beam. Haven`t been hearing 13830 either, so I must conclude that one of the
three transmitters remains completely off the air. Propagation on 25m is not
helpful at night, but 11520 in English does manage to be detectable to a JBA
carrier level at 0220 Nov 22. If anyone ever hear three WEWN frequencies at
once, let us know (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7315,
Nov 22 at 0235, WHRI with non-Commie programming after the VOV relays, news
headlines helpfully informing us it`s ``Monday November 14``, and with week-old
news such as the NZ earthquake (never mind today`s Japan); refers to Bannon as a
``media executive``. Fair at S6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** U S A. 3195, UT Tue Nov 22 at 0254, WWRB with usual
Sat-Sun-Mon night anti-Semitic gospel huxter, taking a caller from The Bronx of
like mind, who reception-reports ``intermittent whirlwind static`` due to
apocalyptic high winds in NYC, e.g. ``David Frum, Canadian Jew, voted for the
Witch``. Yes, Frum has been quite a critic of Thump. Anyhow, WWRB has now
cleaned up its signal, S9+45 with annoying hum/buzz on the channel but without
the wideband splatterspurs of the last two nights (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

belly dancing``. Dominant now with little KQAM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** U S A. 1650, Nov 22 at 0300 UT, TOH ID in Spanish for KBJD
Denver, and I thought they said ``Radio Senda`` i.e. path, but primary name has
been Radio Luz; maybe Senda is a sub-slogan or a program name, altho not as such
on their schedule.

other reports of it. Is anyone still hearing it? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** ZAMBIA. 11680, Monday Nov 21 at 0637, JBA carrier, so is Voice
of Hope back? I hadn`t really looked for it here or on weekend afternoon channel
13680, since Ray Robinson informed us the direxional transmitter was down since
Oct 31. Nor have I seen any reports of either frequency since then. Need to
check starting at *0500 weekdays. Which I do at 0511 Nov 22: more than JBA,
sounds more like Jesus than Juche. Only other occupant of 11680 is KCBS
Pyongyang, 22 hours a day, except 1830-2030! At 0525, away from local noise,
fair signal and immediately upon tune-in: ``This is the Voice of Hope`` ---
