** BOLIVIA [non]. 6134.82, Dec 8 at 0049, no signal from R. Santa Cruz, despite Ron Howard`s reminder that the last two years at least on this date, they stayed on later than 0400 past usual 0230 closing, for some mass religious festival.

But there is a JBA carrier on 6135.13 which would be its nemesis, R. Aparecida, BRAZIL.
At 0256 Dec 8 recheck, detect a JBA carrier circa 6134.8 even weaker than Aparecida, and vs stray Cuban pulse jamming to boot (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL [and non]. 6180, Dec 7 at 0114, no signal from RNA here (nor on 11780), so CRI English relay via CUBA is in the clear yet only poor, generally much inferior to RHC`s own frequencies on 49m.
6180.09, Dec 8 at 0051, RNA is back on with Brazuguese talk, but heavy crackle on the modulation and breakup on the carrier, which is S9+25 and off-frequency+plus; unlistenable before the 0100 start of CRI/Cuba, after which the collision will be worse than ever (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6000, Dec 7 at 0112, RHC English again on an hour early, undermodulated, while 6165 is on but dead air. Something`s always wrong at RHC.
5040, Dec 7 at 0126, RHC is S9+20 but JBM in Kriyol. Something`s always wrong at RHC.
5040, Dec 8 at 0044, RHC is S9+30 but JBM and suptorted in presumed English; wiggle that patchcord! Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5025, Dec 7 circa 1700 UT (noon in Cuba), R. Rebelde is still poorly audible on caradio over a more than 2 megameter fulldaypath. Now I need to start DXing midday skywave on MW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6165, 6100, 6060, 6000, 5040, Dec 7 at 0726, all RHC frequencies are off by now; so is this wrong, or right? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 9570.199, Dec 7 at 1940, S8-S5 of dead air or maybe JBM --- I bet it`s Cairo. Yes! The German hour from Abis on ``9570`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRELAND. 3413-USB, Dec 8 at 0040, ``Shannon VOLMET`` YL ID shortly after tune-in. Always nice to hear this (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA SOUTH [non]. 9605, Dec 8 at 0058, surprised to hear English until I realize it`s just a Voice of Martyrs commercial that WHRI imposes next to its relays of secular foreign broadcasters; 0059 WHRI ID prior to the Spanish hour of KBSWR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MADAGASCAR. 5009.931, Dec 7 at 1500, JBA carrier matching precise frequencies heard circa *0200 and presumed to be R. Madagaskikara. Now, it would be via longpath.
[non] 6135.000, Dec 7 at 1504 I check the other possible Mad channel, which also has a JBA carrier but right on-frequency. Likely the 500 kW, 200 degrees from Xian CRI English at 14-16; so we may forget about any Mad LP on 49m this season even if active (Glenn Hauser, OK, DXLISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 11815.711, Dec 7 at 1513, TRT Turkish talk is S9+10/20 and very off-frequency today unlike 25 hours ago. When logging any VOT broadcast be sure to check frequency for extravagance (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5130.48, UT Sat Dec 8 at 0035, three rising tones and a telephone intercept message; lost a live feed? But then talking about it. 0059 more of that, WBCQ quick boing ID and 0100 start another program, *not* Allan Weiner Worldwide any more on this frequency --- bad news for John Carver and many more who can`t get 7490v or 9330v well, or at all, on winter nights.
Meanwhile, Larry Will forwarded the latest 5130 schedule update, which would soon be added to the website; so Sat 00-01 UT show is now `The Analog Telephone System`, followed by `Intelligence Report`, UT Tue-Sat 01-02. The sked in EST = UT -5 ---

** U S A. 7490.19, UT Sat Dec 8 at 0100, after some silence, S9 but only fair vs noise WBCQ starts ``William Tell Overture`` and Allan Weiner`s first Worldwide interjexion is about an ``Inquisition``. Also JBA on // 9330.1, but no longer 5130v (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15550-USB, Dec 7 at 1950, trace of talk from WJHR, again ex-15555 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6934.8-AM, Dec 8 at 0103, JBA carrier, my first pirate in a sesquimonth? But no logs of it on HF Underground tonight, just unID USBs on 6925, 6950, 6955 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9288.55-LSB, approx., Dec 7 at 1542, 2-way in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
