Glenn Hauser logs November 11, 2018

** CUBA. 13780, Nov 11 at 1408, RHC Spanish on new frequency ex-13740, weaker than // 13700. Also on new 15140 much earlier than before, from 1200 totally blocking any hope of Oman 1400 in English, // 15230. 15140 may be ex-17730, RHC no longer on 16mb in the morning or anywhen (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FRANCE [non]. 5950, Nov 11 at 0657, France-oriented news items in English, so RFI via WRN English at 06-07 still exists via WRMI, for now. At 0753 recheck, Spanish on 5950. So I scribbled, half-asleep, but now supposed to be RFI Portuguese (not via WRN English, of course, but a separate deal with RFI for relays in various languages) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 11815.701, Nov 11 at 1413, TRT in Turkish up here today, with considerable het from 11815.0 JAPAN direct. TRT English close to 12035.0 much weaker with music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, Nov 11 at 1352, WRMI World Music fill, jazzed-up `Ode to Joy`. 9955 at 1437 and still 1449, AWR Wavescan instead of scheduled `Word to the World` at 1430. Pulse jamming running at 1449, not earlier, and not later at 1506 with Blalock the Blaster (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5085, Nov 11 at 1351, once again WTWW-2 is on in the morning, hokey drama/narration with organ music, just like `Unshackled`; along with usual spur parasite carriers 5072.1 & 5097.9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7505.013 approx., Nov 11 at 1354, WRNO still on with gospelhuxter in English, not Chinese, S9+20 but noticeably off-frequency, presumably until nominal 1400* for winter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4869.904, Nov 11 at 1348, JBA carrier again today on the off-frequency previously home of RRI Wamena; really too late after sunrise here. So far have not heard from anyone closer or via remote checking this out (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
