Glenn Hauser logs November 19-20, 2020 [More]

** ALASKA. 6110, Nov 20 at 1420, rock music at S9/+10, 1422 devotional talk about children; 1428 KNLS ID with Anchor Point postal address lacking the P O Box number where they must be well-known; or email KNLS@aol.com, outdated? I assume all the p- and e-mail really goes back to produxion HQ in Franklin TN. Back to ``today`s best music``. Rather odd that this be right next to 6115 RNZI, but at least they are not colliding directly. RNZI no stronger and no problem until it musicalize, then better LSB KNLS. 6110 is axually the latest known scheduled frequency for this emission of its (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 284-MCW kHz, Nov 20 at 0713 UT, ND beacon dash and QD, which is 500 watts from The Pas, Manitoba.

266-MCW kHz, Nov 20 at 0717 UT, dash and XD, 32-watt NDB from Edmonton, Alberta. I was tuned to 265-USB.

250-MCW kHz, Nov 20 at 0718 UT, dash and FO, 1600-watt NDB at Flin Flon, Manitoba.

233-MCW kHz, Nov 20 at 0720 UT, dash and BR, 200-watt NDB at Brandon, Manitoba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 11150, Nov 20 at 1356, JBA carrier presumed CNR1 jammer, but no others found in the 13s, 12s, 11s or 10s before 1400. When propagation was summerier, there would be loads of them before most closed at 1400* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 12200, Nov 20 at 1355, JBA carrier, suspiciously 2 x 6100 from Cuba, but no signal when I go there, nor later when I go back to 12200 --- must have just closed as nominally sked until 1400*. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, Nov 20 at 2239, RHC English is finally on revived time and frequency for Africa, so the B-20 sked is at last going into effect, 3 days later than publicized and 26 days after it began for everystation else. Only S7-S9 and noisy. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

How about Spanish? Yes, B-20 frequencies also activated including after 2240 chex Nov 20: 11850 S9+20 overmodistorted ex-11800, and also the minus 10 JBA parasite on 11840; plus 10 on 11860 there is also a carrier under the jamming needlessly continuing against no Martí. Same 11760 is also OMD. 9650 has good mod, S9+10 blocking attempt of Guinea to use just one frequency on the entire SW range, ex-9640 and still // weaker 9535. New 13680 also on and OMD, for Europe ex-15370 or is it also ex-13740? S9+10/20. After 0100 in English look for 9700 ex-6145; after 0500, 6060 should be back (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 11965, Nov 19 sometime after 20 UT, MWV in African Pathways Radio with African accent, including an unAfrican anti-Science so-called `Creation Moment`, so no KNLS Alaska program instead at this time, as had been reported twice before by Richard Langley, NB in the 18 UT hour on 13670, maybe a mixup. Both these put good signals into North America. I still haven`t managed to check which English is appearing at 1800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2061)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6925-USB, Nov 20 at 2108, S6 pirate playing ``La Bamba``. Initially unID logs here later say IDed as WDOG: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,74523.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6935-USB, Nov 20 at 2109, bit of music then SSTV beepery, S9+10/20, much stronger than neighbor on 6925-USB. 2110 brief distorted unreadable voice announcements and more SSTV. 2112 pause and more SSTV, noisy announcement, L&C clear ``Don`t Tread on Me`` 2nd-amendment song now S9+25 peaks; 2116 another song. Strangely enough there are no logs of this bigsig in HFU, but there was similar behaviour an hour earlier as unID: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,74517.0.html An SSTV proclaimed: ``I HAD MY / PATIENCE / TESTED / I`M NEGATIVE`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6970-AM, Nov 20 at 2110, JBA carrier, unID pirate? 2118 fading up S3 to S5 so I can make out a bit of English talk. During previous hour this was reported on 6969.9 as unID relay of WPTI 94.5 Greensboro NC: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,74516.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 350-MCW kHz, Nov 20 at 0705 UT, ND beacon RG at WRWA OKC is audible again after missing last night. Altho the carrier can be fairly strong, the modulation level is fairly weak (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U A E. 11925.12 approx., Nov 20 at 1416, open carrier or JBM. Only listee in EiBi is this site with NHK relay in English at 1400-1430. Something`s doubly wrong at Abu Dhabi Media, mostly off-frequency. WRTH 2020 says it`s state-owned but operated and maintained by the UK`s Encompass, which one would think could do a better job of it. And do their clients not know or care what`s happening? BTW, this transmission is absent from Japan`s own Aoki/NDXC list (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 329-MCW kHz, Nov 20 at 0710 UT, NDB PMV, 25 watts from Plattsmouth, Nebraska. Also four 2-letter Canadians, q.v., and Oklahoma, q.v. in same session (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UZBEKISTAN [non]. 12045, Nov 20 at 1411, big tone and no sign of a broadcast, but at 1413 now it`s off audiblizing some weak talk, i.e. listed R. Liberty in Uzbek via Biblis, GERMANY site, but in sideband splash from 12050 WEWN. The tone must have been too strong for a jammer if any against this service (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
