** CUBA. 6840, Oct 21 at 0019, no signal from RHC; checking out tip from Chris Smolinski, Maryland at 2347 Oct 20: ``RHC throwing out a decent spur on 6840 kHz, parallel to 5040 with their EE programming. I wonder if Arnie will QSL this? :)`` I replied:
``Chris, That would be 11840 minus 5040, the only two English frequencies at 23-24, after which 11880 goes off, and so would 6840. Unheard by the time I checked. Glenn``
I vaguely thought 6840 had been reported before but can`t find any such logs in my archives. Possible only at 22-24 while both 11880 and 5040 are on air, the second hour in English (and presumably English moved up to the first hour on 11880 once Arnie gets around to B-17 changes sometime in early November; while 5040 moves English to 00-01).

** CUBA. 5040, Oct 21 at 0058, RHC dead air, maybe just between languages.
6000, Oct 21 at 0551, this RHC English frequency is off, still on 5040, 6060, 6100, and still gone from 6145 too. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 9690, Oct 21 at 1426, no signal from AIR GOS sesquihour in English. Some other Asian signals are making it. Not the first time a no-show here from 1330, so I wonder if really on the air? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6950-LSB, Oct 20 at 2336, some kind of dramatic speech with continuous music bed, little change in pitch, but making it hard to tune accurately; movie soundtrack? These logs are headed KIPM, but SSTV later IDed it as Pee Wee.

Brian D in NY logged what I was hearing as ``KIPM Relay 6950 LSB S5 in NY, 2332: Alan Maxwell announcing "9 Audio Signals From Outer Space" episode`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 13565, Oct 21 at 1428, traces of CW vs CODAR pulses to S9; by 1429 faded up slightly, enough to confirm it`s K6FRC over and over in HIFER beacon ID (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1900 monitoring: confirmed Friday October 20 at 2334, the 2330 on WBCQ 9330.264v-CUSB, poor-fair. Also confirmed Saturday October 21 at 1440, the 1431 on HLR, 7265-CUSB, via UTwente SDR: well audible atop East Turkistan for a change! But some deep fades; improves toward 1455. ``Hamburger Lokalradio`` ID inserted immediately at end while mixing with ChiCom timesignal, and off.
[BTW, preceded by `Media Network Plus`, but it`s hard for me to get going by 1400 UT on Saturdays: that may be our best/only chance to hear it (including my extended propagation outlook); various ``MNP`` hours on WRMI, AFAIK, axually contain other PCJ programs. New MN+ episodes are not even audible via the pcjmedia.com website; Keith told me it`s currently only available on smartphones via some app.] Next:

** U S A. 7490, UT Sat Oct 21 at 0001, WBCQ starting `Allan Weiner Worldwide`. He says they are trimulcasting on 7490, 5130, 3265 with 50,000 watts on each, eating up the $$ to the Maine power company which has been sold off to something in Spain. He sees all the meters spinning, but I cannot hear 3265! unlike previous tests on 3250 which had good signals. 5130.35 is very poor and unusable either. At 0104 already interrupted by a call from Fred, who reports 3265 is 40 over 9, close-in at his New England(?) location.
Slogan ``Free Speech is Alive on 32-65``. I try again at 0047 on the other receiver: now I do detect 3265 but only a JBA carrier, really 50 kW?? Propagation may be degraded. 5130 still VP, and 7490 S9+25 fading to S9. Around 0100 musing that Ramsey may move to 3265, but AW would prefer to get some network show lasting 3 hours on it. At 0105, says Dr Becker is trying to get Alex Jones on 3265! where he can say absolutely anything; AW suggests that WWCR imposes some restrixions on Free Speech. At 0108, 5130+ is still on rather than cutting off at 0100. 7490 is starting to fade down but still the best and only WBCQ frequency for us, axually more like 7489.97. AW endorses Jeff White and George McClintock as good guys. Discussing programming sources, Terry Blalock of Full Gospel Hour is the only one on WBCQ still coming on cassette tapes, but WBCQ has all modes of playback available, even wire recorders (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5985, Oct 21 at 0546, what`s this with rock tune? Soon announcement by Paul Walker with a 9- zip code, so must be his old show while still in Alaska getting an unpublicized playback on WRMI; then emits Leader of the Pack and La Bamba. As usual, this frequency is poor, only S5, weaker than the WWCR mixing product on 5980! I see that KIYU by now has removed him from the staff roster:
http://www.kiyu.com/staff.html
but is he really the ``Mike Walker`` doing an oldies show Fridays?
5985 is WRMI-2 at 222 degrees, now scheduled with unspecified, except UT Mondays, System H programming at 0500-0600*. I believe Brother Scare has also been heard during this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 12050, Oct 20 at 2342, this is the only WEWN frequency on, in Spanish; nothing on 15610 or 11520 English, nor 5810 Spanish yet.
5810, Oct 21 at 0052, now Spanish is on here, VG with some hum, but no English on 11520. Another check at 0552, still no 11520 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3185, Oct 21 at 0538, no signal from WWRBS --- I bet they are stuck on day frequency: Yes, 9370 is still on, very poor S3 but I can tell it`s Brother Scare. Wake up, Dave! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6905-LSB, Oct 21 at 0050, 2-way in Spanish, stronger S8 station says he`s near San Antonio and also mentioning El Paso, so apparently Tejanos rather than Mejicanos. Can`t hear his contact at all (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
