** BRAZIL [and non]. 11780, Nov 25 at 2302, RNA-AM is S9+5/15 at Bonaire SDR, compared to RNA-DRM on new 11875-11880-11885 as first covered in my last report; which is now S8-S9 when the noise is tuned in SAM mode, as still no audio decoding in DRM mode, at first displaying 0.00 kpbs, then jumps to 19.80. I may not know how to get the best results out of DRM SDRs? At 2308 I compare it to OCB-DRM on 7340-7345-7350 which displays S9+15/20, 9.76 kbps with audio cutting on at times.

At 0055, I try Pardinho, Brasil SDR which does hear the noise on 11880, but with ACI splash from 11885 CRI in English. RNA-DRM is supposedly running 24 hours, and being experimental may explain the problems in receiving it. They were supposedly going to switch to more user-friendly parameters the next day. The Brasília SDR would be interesting to try if available, at local? range (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13630 & 13771 approx., Nov 26 at 1507, RHC FM spurblobs with F# tone, S6-S7 out of 13700-AM, but JBA on second-orders circa 13561 & 13842. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15700, Nov 26 at 1555, CRI Plus relay is S9+40 but suptorted! = suppressed and distorted modulation. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

First SWBCs confirmed UT Friday November 27 at 0130 on WRMIs, checked direct only: 5850 VG S9+20/30; 5010 S9/+10 but sounds much weaker in noise; and 9955 VG S9+20. Note: technical problems delayed full editing completion in time for this, so played without the usual opening, which is there on all repeats (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7490), Nov 27 at 0300-0400, enjoyed hearing Uncle Bill`s TG special with participation of other WBCQ entertainment shows, while writing this report, via webcast. Would like to have plugged it on WOR 2062, but it would have been a past-thing on all my repeats except for the very first airing, and AFAIK they are not retrievable later, altho YouTube or something could spare the bandwidth (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 660, November 26 at 0704 UT, mix of stations but silly sports news is dominant, and 0706 WFAN ID from New York; not often heard here, nor would I ever want to, vs Mexico, Cuba, Balch Springs but no sign of KTNN AZ/NM, which recently had been reported back east, even in NY state, despite supposed to notch a null toward NYC; so I guess it`s back in whack. 50 kW KTNN is not hard to hear here when ND around SR or SS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2062)
