Glenn Hauser logs November 2-3, 2017


** ANGUILLA. 6090, Nov 3 at 0607, CB is gone again also from night frequency. Seems they turn it on once a month? Just to show they remain? Conspiracy theory: the Anguilla antenna is still broken, so they hire time on some other site to occupy the frequencies 11775 and 6090 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA. 5980, Nov 2 at 2330, RRI has reverted to AM, after running DRM by mistake for the first four days of B-17 during this English hour, now with classical music. With DRM I was still able to detect the JBA AM carrier from R. Chaski, Perú, amid the noise. Now with BFO, I hear a bit of a warble which could be caused by two carriers on slightly different frequencies, but there is no change between 2334 and 2335 when Chaski should be autocutting off. I am afraid the frequencies are too close together, and the warble may have been due to unstable ionospheric propagation from Galbeni (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** U K. 7265, Nov 3 at 0626, ``Despacito``, currently a hit but hardly in French, in BBCWS French via Woofferton, and // 6135 about the same; both rudely cut off without announcement at 0629*. Do non-SS people realize what despacito implies?
Reminds me of the ``slow hand`` song (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 4102.85 approx., Nov 3 at 0641, the `W` beacon is again JBA, between various blips of other numbers or letters; still audible when I reawaken too soon at 1217, a little stronger than last time so I can get closer to the exact frequency. The Wind Beacon from the southeast California desert (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1902 monitoring: confirmed Thursday November 2 at 2230:30 on WRMI, 5850. Carrier was on before 2229; `Okechobee` song ID at 2230:00. This time, WOR audio follows immediately; recheck circa 2256 still going, good. 

Here`s another frequency I didn`t know about, as no one at WRMI tells me, and it`s not on their online sked either:

``7780 WRMI Radio Miami Int’l; 2043-2100+, 10/31; Glenn Hauser’s World of Radio #1901 to 2058:58 brief music; 2059:32 Bob Zanotti WRMI ID; 2100:21 Bro. HyStaircal the OverFondler. SIO+ 353- (Harold Frodge-MI)``

Tuesday at 2030 is when WOR was known to be on 11580 and 9455; I never checked 7780 as it had been BS and still shown as such at 2030, breaking away only at 12-15 M-F for Power Hour, and 15-16 Sundays for religion; 7780 always very weak here, especially in daytime as it`s aimed NE into the Atlantic, and what little signal goes this way off the side is mostly absorbed, much less so higher 11580 on same bearing. There should be other DX programs at 2030 on Mon, Fri and Sun: See the skedgrid labeled 11580 only.

WOR 1902 also confirmed Thu Nov 2 at 2330 on WBCQ, 9331.35v-CUSB, good. Next:

** U S A. 12065, Nov 3 at 1400, huge S9+30 signal from WEWN English on new frequency, which had been on B-17 registrations but unheard until today; yesterday before 1500 it was still on 15610. Starting a M&W couple talk show about ``theology of the body``, title per sked, `More 2 Life` and they start discussing DST; but the modulation drops off frequently. Otherwise it`s a clean signal with no spurs detectable. 

5810, Nov 3 at 1402, WEWN Spanish is still on night frequency, and modulation is also dropping off here. By 1520 recheck, both have changed to 15610-JBA, and 12050. Appearance of 12065 is presumably at 12-15, and implies another new frequency, 9470 at 09-12, both aimed across North America hoping to reach SE Asia eventually (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1560, Nov 3 at 0635 UT, Vietnamese man talking briefly above the pileup, so that`s KGOW Bellaire TX in its latest format flip (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. JBA trans-Pacific MW carrier search, Nov 3 at 1206-1210 UT: from WSW, i.e. Au/NZ not Japan: 774, 702, 576, 1035; and from west 1098, i.e. Marshall Islands (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
