CUBA. 6100, Dec 5 at 0554, RHC`s strongest and best-modulated English frequency
here by far is instead dead air, also a few minutes later. 6000 & 6165 are
very undermodulated as usual tho S9+45 and S9+35; that leaves 6060 sufficient at
S9+30; and 5040 is in Spanish. Also still on in Spanish are 9535 and 9710 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ERITREA [and non]. 7175, Dec 5 at
1435, JBA carrier, no doubt VOBME-2 by longpath, but nothing in the 7146 range
from VOBME-1; off or moved? Also have two carriers beating on 7205: Sudan? and
could the other be VOBME now? Aoki shows 7205 Urumqi in Uighur, but Sudan not
starting until 1430 as of B-15. Still hearing the same at 1513 recheck; and by
then, 7120 JBA carrier from Hargeisa, Somaliland longpath is also present (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9525.9, Dec 4 at 1411, no
signal from VOI. Atsunori Ishida at http://rri.jpn.org/ reports a carrier until 1300,
but no signal from 14 to 21 this date (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX ISTENING
DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 9400, Dec 4 at 1405, good S9+40 Kurdish music
at S9+10, no QRM after FEBC is finished, from Denge Kurdistane, 300 kW, 130
degrees from PRIDNESTROVYE at 12-15 per Aoki, so long path? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** UGANDA [non]. 15240, Sunday December 4 at 1659,
Dave Frantz sounds live on S7 WWRB ``Middle East, Africa, European service``,
asking for reports, soon ``over to Uganda`` for R. Munansi at 1700, but dead air
for a while. I suppose this was just signing on rather than a break, and
apparently running at least until 2100 on Sat & Sun (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15220, Dec 4 at 2123, VOA One rock music,
IADs of a couple seconds at irregular intervals, during the so-called Haitian
Creole service at 2100-2130 which however at least on weekends fills with VOA
One instead. Also on 11720, and carriers are open well before 2100. This is not
// 15580 also VOA Greenville, with African service music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1854 monitoring: confirmed UT

** U S A
[and non]. 7490, Dec 4 at 2329, heavy CCI between WBCQ and BBCWS in English,
making medium SAH at about equal levels! This is a continuing frequency
management failure, as apparently FCC and BaBcoCk negotiators at HFCC can`t
imagine that BBC Thailand would be a problem for `BCQ in central USA.
Fortunately it`s for only one hour now at 23-24, 250 kW, 25 degrees from Nakhon
Sawan, which means under grayline conditions it carries right on to North
America. Even more fortunately, there is nothing worth listening to on WBCQ
during this hour M-F, only Brother Scare; on Sundays `WGOD Presents`, whatever
that is; but on Saturdays, the first hour of J. P. Ferraro`s `Shortwave Saturday
Night`. Perhaps he should complain about it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 12035, Dec 5 at 1415, Voice of Turkey music
in English service suffers from splatter de 12050, dirty transmitter of Mother
Angelica`s WEWN, which can also be heard down to 11985, barely missing Reach
Beyond, Australia in English on 11980 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 17775, Dec 5 at 1518, S9+30 KVOH with report about
Chilean radio station ratings, on `Frecuencia al Día`, then Dino with Dec
birthday wishes to regular listeners. Once again KVOH is playing FAD on Monday
at 1500, when `Antena DX` is on their schedule: what has become of that? FAD is
scheduled Fridays at 1500, maybe both times now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search Dec 4,

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 5010.00, Dec 5 at
0706, carrier here, but cannot be blamed on 5040 Cuba leapfrog over 5025 since
5040 is now off. Possibly a utility: we must not forget that 60m is NOT a
broadcast band in non-tropical North America, but a fixed band; any broadcasters
are there as exceptions (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 5810, Dec 4 at 2337, some broadcaster VP signal,
not yet WEWN which nominally starts bigsig in Spanish at 0000. Nothing else
scheduled now; possibly ChiCom-jammed BBC jumparound frequency from Thailand in
English, which Aoki shows started Nov 27 but at 12-14 UT only (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 5995, Dec 5 until 0552* something in
English just going off as I tune in. Nothing scheduled, but Mali (hardly
modulated) from 0600, or per EiBi from 0558 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
