FRS test on 7310; Seasonal Broadcast on Sun Dec 29th



Dear FRS Friends,

F R S – H O L L A N D   T E S T I N G
Next Sunday December 8th FRS-Holland will conduct a test broadcast on 7310 kHz/ 41 metres.
The test will last for two hours between 10:00-12:00 UTC/ 11:00- 13:00 CET. We are understandably curious what reception is like in your particular area.
Therefore we do hope as many listeners as possible will be tuning our way and send a reception report, either via e-mail or snail mail. Correct reception reports will
be verified with our station QSL. You can truly help us by sending in your reception report!

I N V I T A T I O N
Our next full broadcast will be over the Holiday Season: on Sunday December 29th FRS-Holland will continue a long time tradition, ringing out 2013.
It was in the early 1980s that we started with December XMas broadcasts. Only very few times in the past 33 years, FRS was absent in December.
In the past years we have seen a  decline in the number of listeners willing to participate in our Seasonal broadcast.
We call on you as a faithful FRS friend and listener to take part this year…

We'd like to invite you- the listener-  to participate. Forward your very own personal Season's Greetings to the Free Radio Service Holland and we will
make sure it'll be read out during our broadcast. You can dedicate your greetings to friends etc. but you can also make a 'general' New Year's  Greeting.
It can be written or taped (cassette, CD, MD or MP3 file), it's up to you! Send your message to P.O.Box 2702, 6049 ZG Herten in the Netherlands or
do it the 'quick and easy 'way by sending an e-mail to <frs@frsholland.nl >.  Let's be honest…compiling a written message only costs  a couple of minutes.
In this way you can add something personal to our December broadcast. So...don't hesitate and take part in the FRS Seasonal Party. No doubt it'll be great fun.
Make sure your contribution reaches us in time....do it as soon as possible.
We are looking forward hearing from you !!! Tune in December...it'll be worth while!!! Go and tell your friends...

December 29th FRSH will be on 7600//5800 kHz & 6070 kHz for at least 5 hours Pxs will be presented by Jan van Dijk doing the German show.
Roger Davis -celebrating his first year on the station- will be presenting another classic FRS Golden Show with great (and rare!) 60s/ 70s stuff as well as a
feature on offshore radio. Peter Verbruggen will be looking  back to what happened in the past (Day Calendar) playing a mix of 80s/90s/00s records in FRS Magazine.
He will also host FRS Goes DXMas with the latest news from the wonderful world of wireless. Last but not least: Paul Graham will be doing an 80s show. Within the programmes 
October mail and Season's Greetings will be read out. There also is the Phrase that Pays. FRS will most likely commence at  08.00 UTC/ 09.00 CET.
Later on this months we will be forwarding more details about the upcoming  festive broadcast.
Good listening next Sunday!

Broadcasts are carried out in Dutch, German & English at an irregular basis on 51, 48 & 41 metres.

Glenn Hauser logs December 3-5, 2013

** CHINA [and non]. 6075, Dec 4 at 1436, Firedrake mixed with Chinese, presumably RTI altho it could be more jamming with CNR1 audio; while 6145, the other RTI Chinese frequency has only FD audible; they are not synchronized (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 5025, Dec 4 at 0207, R. Rebelde is off the air, while 5040, RHC is on as usual, now in Spanish. 4765, R. Progreso is also on as usual. 5025, Dec 4 at 0617, still off, while 5040, RHC is now only a poor signal and just barely modulated! Instead of usual bigsig.

17730, Dec 4 at 1455, RHC is here on again, better modulation than // 17580, and no QRM either. Three out of four days in December, 17730 has been on when I checked, so maybe back to stay.

6060, Dec 5 at 0058, RHC frequency announcement including ``6010``, which is fortunately still incorrect!

6165, Dec 5 at 0101, RHC English is still dead air.

11840, Dec 5 at 0112, RHC Spanish VG signal, but very distorted, undermodulated, and pulse-jamming also audible! No, it`s not bleed from 11845, unjammed. More evidence that not only spy numbers but jammers share SW sites with RHC overt broadcasts.

5025, Dec 5 at 0059, Rebelde is still off. At 0103 I can detect a JBA carrier slightly on low side, which could well be Radio Quillabamba, PERU, which matches where that station has been measured recently by several monitors, circa 5024.9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1698, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EQUATORIAL GUINEA [and non]. 15190, Dec 3 at 2044, both Radios Africa are still colliding with separate programming, CCI and SAH of a few HZ against each other, i.e. Bata and WRMI Okeechobee.

17790, Dec 3 at 1459, WRMI with ``Radio Africa Network`` ID, apparently inserted at HQ in California between preachers. Signal here is only fair, which I assume means it`s efficiently mostly going into W & C Africa, aimed right at Bata.

17790 checked again at 1957 Dec 3 to hear how the transition goes to 15190: still a fair signal until off at 2000:06*. Retune to:

15190, Bata is still going with poor signal, sounds like Tony Alamo now; not until *2003:48, almost 4 minutes later, does WRMI cut on, producing SAH atop Bata but not by much, joining another preacher in progress. Day 4 of the two Radios Africas colliding with each other (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1698, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 7475, Dec 4 at 0613, VOG good with Greek music, but not on 9420 (tho Turkey is in well on 9700). Also UT Dec 5 at 0109, 7475 is off and 9420 is too, audiblizing only CRI English (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [non]. 9775, Dec 4 at 1440, R. Free Chosun is loud and clear today, just a little fading, almost as good as VOA Korean via Tinang, Philippines on 9800. No way this is transpolar from Uzbekistan or Tajikistan; and TP Bengaluru 9870 is very poor. Again points to really E Asian or Pacific site, such as Palauig, RVA, also Philippines (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1698, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA SOUTH [non]. 9955, Dec 4 at 1355, WRMI Okeechobee again with KBS World Radio in English for the second day, so apparently not an accident altho the program sked as of early UT Dec 5 (still dated as of Dec 1) still shows R. Prague Mon-Sat and R. Slovakia International M-F during the 13-14 UT hour. Didn`t wake up early enough this Wednesday to hear the complete `Sounds of Korea` music show, just the last bit, and another promo for their favorite-host-of-2013 competition.

This relay still might not be able to appear on weekends, due to other paid programming on WRMI sked, when we would like to hear KBS` `Listeners Lounge` including DX news. And this is still on the 160-degree antenna, but this time the other transmitter on the 315-degree antenna cuts on too early, with stronger carrier covering up the first one, starting at *1358:15 before KBS is quite finished. Continued under USA: WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MOROCCO. 9579.12, Dec 4 at 0216, the het is back! My keyboard matches at A-natural = 880 Hz. At this hour against CRI via CUBA 9580.0. Because Médi-1, unexpectedly reactivated its old transmitter which had been missing for a few months, as first reported by Thorsten Hallmann, Germany at 1800 Dec 3.

Last report I can find of it was August 16, 2013, by Kouji Hashimoto, Japan in DXLD 13-34. Still carrier around 9579.1 at 0621 Dec 4 when there is nothing to het against. By 1630 UT Dec 4, Erik Køie found they had fixed the transmitter, back on proper 9575.0, where it had not been since September 2012, according to Wolfgang Büschel. At 0110 Dec 5 I can detect the carrier on 9575 between China-Albania and China-Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1698, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OMAN. 15140, Dec 4 at 1445, RSO with YL talk about health and nutrition, mentioning pancreas and lemon juice. Keeps advising listeners not to take actions without consulting doctors. Seems to be a regular feature after the news, also reported by others. Ending at 1451 with title `Home & Health`? on 90.4 FM Radio Sultanate of Oman. Still sufficient signal today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU [non]. 5980, Dec 5 at 0056, poor signal presumed VOA Tibetan and/or CNR1 jamming; one carrier cuts off at 0100:15* after timesignal: that would be CNR1, and it uncovers: nothing, no other carrier from R. Chaski, so off earlier or off completely today? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9690, Dec 4 at 1432, WRMI Overcomer service is open carrier/dead air, allowing trace of All India Radio to be detected underneath; that`s an improvement, but no carrier on 9690 would be preferred. Still same at 1447 and until 1459 when modulation suddenly starts just as this frequency cuts off, as TOM also starts on 9955 instead of music fill like yesterday during the 15-16 hour.

9690 is also on the sked for Brother Scare at 22-02 UT; Dec 5 at 0057 I find a very strong signal from REE Spain playing its IS! Stops at 0058.3* uncovering a weak BS on WRMI. ?? REE is not supposed to be on 9690 until 02-04 for relays of China. Maybe this was just a tune-up or mistake.

By 0110, 9690 has a LAH against Brother Scare. What could that be? Maybe ChiCom jammer against R. Free Asia, Uighur via UAE. At this time checking the other WRMI/BS frequencies: 11565 is better, 11730 is much better, and 13695 is also very poor (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 9690: see SOUTH CAROLINA [non]

** TURKEY. 9700, Dec 4 at 0620, TRT good signal with Turkish music in Turkish service, on until a few minutes before 0700; nice to doze off by. Reception varies greatly, often poor. Could not have listened to Greece, q.v., if I wanted to: it`s off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U K [and non]. 7305 & 7325, Dec 4 at 0614, BBC French promoting its presence on partner/FM stations, including the (long-gone from SW) Africa No. Un. I wonder how often if ever they mention these SW frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also USA: VOA

** U S A [non]. 6020, Dec 4 at 0616, not to be outdone by BBC French a couple minutes earlier, VOA French is listing a bunch of FM stations it`s on in Africa. BTW, HFCC reveals that transmitter site for this M-F 0530-0630 broadcast changed from Nov 26 to Nov 27: 10 degrees via Botswana, to 335 degrees via SAO TOME – maybe why I am hearing it better now; but why did it change? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, Dec 4 at *1358:15, WRMI Okeechobee turns on its 315-degree antenna and transmitter with carrier, covering up the tail of the 160-degree one which is ending KBS World Radio in English [see KOREA SOUTH non]], and WRMI Scoreboard.

Dead air remains until `Wavescan` has already started around 1401, the current episode about pre-history of WRMI Okeechobee, starting with 2XAL in New York. ``Changing circumstances`` ending the Family Radio tenure (not going into Harold Camping`s wacky end-of-world nonsense). 1413 on to JSWC DX report (mostly routine outdated logs from a month or more ago; sorry), some more current DX news from Adrian; Jeff reads the complete AWR WS schedule on several stations, including the wrong times on WWCR and WINB I already pointed out; 1422 finally more unuseful logs from some downunderite; a bit of fill music from Venezuela; 1430 into `Viva Miami`, same one I heard yesterday interviewing Jeff Bernald of Pan American Broadcasting. Good signal but the modulation is a bit rough.

Checking the WRMI 9955 program schedule grid early UT Dec 5, we see that the 22-24 UT M-F slot formerly empty has now been labeled Family Radio! Originally that was only going to be in Spanish at 23-24 on two different frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also EQUATORIAL GUINEA [and non], SOUTH CAROLINA [non]; USA: WINB

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1698 monitoring: produced well in time for first airing at 0430 UT Thursday Dec 5 on WRMI 9955 --- but it`s a JBA carrier under pulse jamming just like the old WRMI, and even without the jamming I could not be sure it was me (or, were I). (At this hour the only WRMI frequency with a good signal is 7570 with BS; the other BS: 9355 barely audible, 11565 and 11730 very poor.)

Now the stream is working, and it`s playing back last week`s WOR 1697, evidently still from the computer in Miami, while I sent the new 1698 to the computer in Okeechobee. O, well. First airing will really be:

Thu 2201 on WTWW-1 9475
UT Friday 0430v on WWRB 3195 (and maybe 5050-USB, but not last week)
UT Saturday 0300v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB (stay tuned; last week did not start until 0306)
Saturday 0730 & 1530 on Hamburger Lokalradio, 7265-CUSB
UT Sunday 0030 on WTWW-2 5085
UT Sunday 0501 on WTWW-1 5830
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5830, Dec 4 at 0206 check, WTWW-1 is off the air, but at 0207, 5085 WTWW-2 is on. 12105, Dec 4 at 2010, WTWW-3 is off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5050-USB, Dec 4 at 0207, WWRB is off, and so it is also 23 hours later around 0100 Dec 5 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5110v-CUSB, Dec 4 at 0103, Allan Weiner sounds like he`s on the phone, with TimTron in the studio, presumably replay of last Friday`s show, talking about a new program on the schedule, `The Next Chapter`, with Roland B. Hunt, about out-of-the-box ideas, Wednesdays at 7 pm on 7490 --- ! Must have just missed its hour, as now on 7490 is Brother Scare. 7 pm ET Wed = 0000 UT Thu is still on the schedule as VSI Radio International, the Swedish non-pirate, which must be gone now. Allan adds that new show is part of a larger project, Radio Alexandria, which if it can be funded will broadcast from a ship in the Central Pacific in Russian, English and Chinese. Uh, huh --- Googling on his name and the program name lead nowhere (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 13570, Dec 4 at 2007, WINB with AWR Wavescan, during the scheduled Wednesday time of 2000, not this week`s show as heard earlier on WRMI, but last week`s show with preview of the big switch to Okeechobee. That script already appeared in last week`s DXLD 13-48. Is this always running a week late on WINB? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7613-SSB, Dec 4 at 0212, Georgia-Cap, Florida-Cap mentioned by YL NCS. Civil Air Patrol? Frequency may have been 7612 or  7614. Initial searching on this unproductive (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs December 2-3, 2013

** ARGENTINA. 11711-, Dec 3 at 0058, RAE with IS once, going from Portuguese to Japanese, usual het from something on 11710. Bryan Clark reported it was missing on UT Sat Nov 30, nor was R. Nacional heard on 15345 over the weekend, but back in business now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 6060, Dec 3 at 0101, RHC Spanish modulation is distorted here, and worse on 5040, better but still distorted on 11840 at 0115, best on 6070.

11680, Dec 3 at 0114, RHC Spanish is VG here! Slopperators at RadioCuba must have forgotten that the B13 frequency is 11670 instead of 11680 in A13. I know I had heard 11670 recently, unlogged.

6000, Dec 3 at 0650, RHC English is missing, but 6060 is still on and it`s loud & clear like the 6000 signal had been, instead of aimed off toward ENAm and Europe. Mixup or change? They`re in a hurry to turn off and go to bed, as 6165 was on at 0650 but off early too at 0655 check. Anyhow, lack of 6000 audiblizes both BBC on 6005 and the open carrier from MALI on 5995.

5025, R. Rebelde, normally 24 hours, is also off again at 0651.

17730, Dec 3 at 1445, RHC Spanish is on again here; first heard Dec 1 but missing Dec 2; what next? This time, no CCI, while 17580 still has it from IBB Biblis alternating Pashto/Dari at 1330-1530 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EQUATORIAL GUINEA [and non]. 17790, Dec 2 at 1910, R. Africa via WRMI with `Hour of Decision`, the BGEA show, which is a bit classier than Tony Alamo, whom I`ve yet to catch on this transmitter.

15190, Dec 2 at 2012, now WRMI`s R. Africa has descended to here from 17790, and once again atop CCI, increased SAH at Okeefades, i.e. Bata transmitter is still going for self-collision.

15190, Dec 2 at 2100 check, now R. Africa/WRMI is in French! With sermon about Jesus; normally it`s only in English. Still SAH and CCI from EqG (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) MORE under USA: WRMI

** GREECE [and non]. 9420, Dec 2 at 1915, VOG is on with pop music. Erratically it`s been missing, leading to fears it would be gone for good, but so far it keeps coming back.

9420, Dec 3 at 0059, Greek music, heavy flutter, atop CCCCI. Previous absence maybe due to lack of overnight staffing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA SOUTH [non]. 9955, Dec 3 at 1358, another check of WRMI, still on SSE antenna, finds not Slovakia as heard yesterday, but KBS World Radio! Concluding English hour with plug for a survey to pick your favorite host in 2013. KBSWR has been inaudible in North America for months since they insist on keeping unpropagable 15575 on the schedule direct from Korea at 13-14, and we had urged Jeff to try to get them on WRMI. This must bump off R. Prague and R. Slovakia, however, at least during this timing. Schedule grid still hasn`t been updated to show KBS yet. Now, how about R. Japan, and R. Taiwan??

Until 1400, 9955 is still on the 160-degree beam; surely KBS could and should be on the 315 for us? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) More under U S A: WRMI

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11510, Dec 3 at 1415, V. of Kurdistan during mostly-music hour, great stuff with ululations, and fairly sufficient signal today, only marred by IADs, two or three per minute. Site is allegedly Grigoriopol/Kishinev, Pridnestrovye/Moldova before 1600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU [and non]. 5980, Dec 3 at 0057, VOA Tibetan via SRI LANKA is poor with flutter, off by 0059 leaving R. Chaski carrier which cuts off at 0103:55.5*, i.e. 6 seconds later than yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 15440, Dec 2 at 2013 check, WRMI with Brother Scare, good signal but undermodulated, a blessing. This one is scheduled 20-22 on the 44-degree antenna toward Europe.

9690, Dec 3 at 0058, Brother Scare via WRMI is poor, mixed with something in Chinese; HFCC shows CRI via Spain does not start until 0200. Must be CNR1 jamming against IBB Uighur via UAE which starts at 0100. WRMI is sked 22-02 at 222 degrees for CIRAFs 10-12.

11565, Dec 3 at 0112, also BS via WRMI, fair but fading as the MUF is dropping.

11730, Dec 3 at 0114, BS via WRMI is good, better than // 11565; azimuths being 285 and 140 respectively. Still haven`t checked yet another duplicate, 13695, which is 151 at 00-02.

9955, Dec 3 at 1514, is found to be playing fill music loop instead of BS; heard the same selexions a few times, including fado, Greek, and polka, until 1559 Zanotti canned ID, 1600 now into Overcomer // but not synch with 9930, 9980. How come not during previous hour? Lots of good programming could be inserted there, as it`s now on the NW antenna with good signal across N America; in fact, I could hear it easily on the ATS-909 next to my noisy computer, which was never possible from Hialeah. Still no webcast, but not so much needed now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 15580, Dec 2 I happen to tune across just before 2100, to hear VOA Greenville go off, and Botswana come on; there were only a few seconds pause in modulation, no overlap, smooth transition, but from here a drastic drop in signal strength as English to Africa continued (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 5890, Dec 3 at 1406, VOA Korean with good signal; normal B-13 channel, but I don`t recall hearing it before this B. Did it just start? Scheduled at 12-15 via TINIAN. Checked // 9800 TINANG and found 5890 is seven seconds behind it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1697 monitoring: confirmed on 9955, WRMI, Tuesday Dec 3 amid at 1215; good signal with some pulse jamming, weaker than BS on 9690. Move to Okeechobee has greatly improved audibility of one of the last two WOR times left on WRMI. Maybe we should try to move it to 1200 on Friday or Saturday when it will be fresher. Tune at 0430 UT Thursday which should be first airing of 1698 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, Dec 3 at 0058 check, wall-of-noise Cuban jamming is still blocking WRMI during prime-time; but next check at 0112, jamming has been reduced to lite pulsing, allowing us to hear some gospel-huxter, tnx a lot, Arnie. 00-01 UT Tue-Sat is the Radio Libertad hour, which Must Be Jammed; BTW, the current WRMI program schedule grid has nothing entered in the 22-24 M-F bihour on 9955; something new pending?

See KOREA SOUTH [non]; SOUTH CAROLINA [non]; EQUATORIAL GUINEA [non]; USA: WORLD OF RADIO for much more concerning WRMI!

After surprise KBS relay on 9955 until 1358 Dec 3 on the 160-degree antenna from transmitter 3, `WRMI Scoreboard`, the sports capsule which is blessedly short, brief overlap as transmitter 11 cuts on 315 degree antenna with much stronger signal; ID starts in Spanish, ends in English, VG signal for `Gospel of the Kingdom`; 1428 fill music, Pan American plug;

9955, 1430 Dec 3, `Viva Miami`, new edition I haven`t heard before, interview with Jeff Bernald of Pan American Broadcasting, who was visiting Okeechobee; from future-tense references to upcoming R. Africa broadcasts via WRMI, obviously recorded some time ago. Said the company was started by his grandfather Gene in 1936, then his father who is semi-retired playing golf, and Jeff is in charge for the past five years. HQ in Pleasanton CA (not Cupertino any more). The Radio Africa network started in 1984; has been partnering with WRMI since 1994. Says has four new QSL cards which you can get if you send four reception reports to info@panambc.com Jeff B. also implied they would expand using more than one WRMI transmitter.

He had also been seeing the sights in S Florida, including gators, giant spiders, cows and wild pigs on the square-mile WRMI site. Jeff White says luckily it`s the dry season now, as in the rainy season it`s quite swampy requiring hip-boots. 200 head of cattle have no problem sharing a pond with 4-5 foot gators.

The issue of Tony Alamo was not raised, and Jeff Bernald sounds like a quite sane and reasonable fellow, unlike his clients. (I`ve yet to catch Alamo on the WRMI relay.) 1445 into next show, `Moments in Bible Prophecy` from Key West. 17790 meanwhile is still on the air instead of 21525 for the R. Africa service itself. The 15-16 UT hour on 9955 is fill music instead of BS: see SOUTH CAROLINA [non].

The WRMI transmitter array keeps changing; as of Dec 3 the B13 Graphic Schedule shows #3, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13 and 14 in use. Jeff has said the only one not in working order is #6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 610, Dec 3 at 0658 UT, I null KCSP Kansas City to hear some soul music, 0659 ID as ``WAGG, Birmingham, news when you want it`` and CBS news. I haven`t heard this one before, normally ceding the channel to KC. WAGG is 5/1 kW U2, a butterfly nite pattern with null toward the NW but peak to the west, so we`re somewhere between those. FCC AM Query shows they also have a CP for non-direxional not only day but also at night by reducing power to 610 watts; could be in effect now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9699.5-USB, Dec 3 at 0111, INTRUDERS, 2-way in Spanish; stronger one cites various numbers (cargo info?), and has engine noise behind him (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15480, Dec 2 at 2014 just as I tune in hear the BaBcoCk IS loop, then off at 2014.4*, leaving poor signal in Arabic, i.e. AWR via MADAGASCAR. HFCC shows AWR is the only thing scheduled here at 1900-2100, so what`s with BBC? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 6145, Dec 2 at 1522, Firedrake with fair signal vs unheard RTI; while 6075 poor signal with CNR1 jamming instead, // 9790 but a couple seconds behind it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6060 & 6100, Dec 2 at 0630, RHC English is very undermodulated on these two compared to 6000 and 6165; 6060 is also weak, aimed up the east coast, apparently.

17730, Dec 2 at 1407 and later chex, RHC is gone again after reappearing yesterday morning; maybe that was another mistake (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EQUATORIAL GUINEA [non]. 17790, Dec 2 at 1407 checking for this last-minute replacement frequency for 21525 which had been scheduled for `Radio Africa` at 14-20 via WRMI Okeechobee, but nothing heard yet on either. At 1512 now 17790 is audible, fair signal but very undermodulated just like 15190 Bata often is. 1526 now mod is better on 17790, Bible references, ``the truth about Hell``, closing the `Frank & E[a]rnest` show from Dawn with NYC PO Box, toll-free number for booklet; ``please include the call letters of this station`` --- but no ID at all at 1529, instead a bit of fill music, ``Dr Jesus, Can You Help Me?`` --- is that inserted at Okee or Cupertino?? 1530 into `What Does the Bible Say?` show. Should be on until 2000 switch to 15190, to collide again with the original R. Africa? BTW, Jeff tells me that for now, all programming into WRMI is fed via internet; maybe some satellite feeds later (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also USA:

** OMAN. 15140, Dec 2 at 1411, RSO is again in well; have we suddenly developed a propagational pipeline, or was there some improvement in azimuth or power? Pop music stops for DJ to update us on Manchester United, a bit more music, 1415 Liverpool. What is this, an expat service? He doesn`t sound very British. Apparently a weekly football summary from ``The Nation`s Station`` --- how original. Does this English hour ever broadcast anything about OMAN? Even in the news at 1430? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SLOVAKIA [non]. See USA: WRMI

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. Brother Scare reception in order of decreasing strength, Dec 2 at 0638 check: 5085-WTWW, 9355-WRMI, 3215-WWCR, 3185-WWRB, 5890-WWCR. Just one would suffice; in fact, none.

Dec 2 at 1517 I compare the triplet below 10 MHz not for strength but delay: this time 9955 WRMI is first, then 9930 WTWW, and a few seconds later, 9980 WWCR. 9955 remains obviously softer.

9690 BS until 1500 is still blocking All India Radio GOS in English at 1330-1500. WRMI azimuth is 285 designated for CIRAF 10 & 11, Mexico and Central America, but I think expected to carry on to Australia and New Zealand, where it probably ruins AIR as well. WRMI may have picked 9690 unaware of AIR since the latter refuses to participate in HFCC, altho has been on this frequency for many years (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN [and non]. 21630, Monday Dec 2 at 1408, REE has resumed colliding with BBC Hausa via Ascension, while having avoided it on Sat & Sun by using 21640. This now appears to be the intentional pattern, warped as it may be (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, WRMI Okeechobee, Monday Dec 2 at 1353 with R. Slovakia International in English, only fair signal southward, plus pulse jamming; 1358 WRMI`s sports minute over in time for ID before 1400*. This is when it`s supposed to switch transmitter and antenna toward the NW, but nothing comes up in the next 5 minutes while the jamming continues; and again WTWW has just switched BS to 9930 with a super-signal overshadowing 9955.

9955 not checked again until 1517 when it`s on with TOM ahead of 9930 and 9980 by timing but not by strength and modulation level. A pity this ``RMI`` main channel can`t be devoted to own programming now, with all the other transmitters available for BS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also EQUATORIAL GUINEA, SOUTH CAROLINA [nons]

** U S A. 11715, Dec 2 at 1516, KJES with good signal but very undermodulated during strumming & singing. I`m logging this now just for the record as usually on and ignored, to prove it still exists (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. NWS was issuing dense fog advisories from Sunday night thru 10 am CST Monday. It wasn`t visibly dense locally, but 100% humidity on the leafy ground. This did tropo-enhance some area DTV:

RF28, Dec 2 at 0528 UT, KFDX-DT 3-1 Wichita Falls TX; and on 3-2 KJBO-DT. W9WI.com TX listings show KJBO is really KJBO-LP (analog), 10.5 kW on channel 35, My network, but gets a DT megawatt as 3-2 via KFDX. It`s also listed on one other TX transmitter, K33HG-D, 250 watt translator in Quanah.

RF11, Dec 2 at 0530 UT, KSWO-DT 7-1 Lawton OK is in, same market as KFDX; 7-2 PSIP is Telemundo, all 9 letters with one cap; 7-3 is still LiveWell.

RF45, Dec 2 at 0529 UT, KOTV-DT Tulsa OK is in while still aimed at Lawton/WF.

Fog is even heavier in the morning, with a large red blob over mid-America on the Mountainlake map.

RF18, Dec 2 at 1533 UT, KFSM-DT, 5-1, first seen with antenna still SSW, better when aimed at Fort Smith AR; plus 5-2 KXNW, which has a 34 bug in the lower right along with Dr Phil; while 5-1 is Rachael Ray, with 5 and CBS Eye in LR (even tho RR is syndicated, not CBS). Several photos taken of these.

The Real KXNW is only 70 kW on ch 34 in Eureka Springs AR, with ME TV on 34-1, Univisión on 34-2, per W9WI.com. KFSM listing in W9WI.com shows 5-2 as MY, no particular station. With Fort Smith having KXNW listed as via KUFS-LP channel 54 and a CP for LD on channel 7. KXNW also listed on several other Arkansas transmitter subchannels with My --- it`s certainly too easy to mix up My and ME!

Many other `bad` DTV signals, matching Tulsa and vicinity channels, but not decoding. Except at 1615, RF45, DTV 6-1, KOTV-HD (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 7480, Dec 2 at 0127, Firedrake, very poor. Target is R Free Asia in Uyghur via Tajikistan during this hour only. I expect the site for this is in western China. This inspired me to do a full bandscan for FD or OOB CNR1 jamming 10-18 MHz, but no others heard (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11670, 11760, 11840, Dec 2 at 0042, RHC with a song in English, but it`s the Spanish service during their music-fill hour, not // 5040 which is really in English, mailbag. As usual, modulation on 11840 is severely suppressed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EQUATORIAL GUINEA [and non]. 15190, Dec 1 circa 1930, R. Africa is in as usual, with poor signal and modulation level, just a semihour before R. Africa via WRMI Okeechobee is scheduled to début on same frequency.

Yes! Just as I expected, both Radio Africas are going at 2032 check making SAH of 4 to 5 Hz with each other. WRMI is of course way on top, and is playing loop of a soul hymn, ``Thank you for the sunshine, thank you for the rain,`` etc. Barely audible underneat at least during pauses is some JBM talk, presumably preaching. Still the same at 2124. So Pan American is so uncoördinated that it couldn`t get the old site to stop in time for the new one.

Meanwhile, the previous scheduled frequency for R. Africa via WRMI, 21525 (an old WYFR channel), at 1400-2000 continued to be unheard before 2000. Later heard from Jeff White: ``We're going to have a few days or so of getting the kinks out after having been off the air for five months. 21525 wouldn't work with the 87 degree antenna, so we got FCC approval to use 17790 from 1400 to 2000, and it has worked fairly well.``

I did notice some new gospel-huxtering on 17790, but didn`t make the connexion. Jorge Freitas in Brasil was first to report it as an unID (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. 7450, Dec 1 at 2118, fair signal from VIRI in Spanish news headlines, closing with theme until 2121* --- but not quite off. Strength drops abruptly but I still hear the music, as if quick antenna change? No, not scheduled afterwards. Maybe they changed antenna for next transmission on another frequency from Sirjan before dropping carrier on this frequency. No sign of Greece on same (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OMAN. 15140, Dec 1 at 1435, RSO in English news about explosions in Lebanon; good signal, much better than usual, fully readable (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, Dec 2 at 0100, R. Chaski carrier detectable until cut off at 0103:49.5* which is 5.5 seconds later than yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SEYCHELLES [and non]. 12095, Dec 1 at 2042, BBCWS ID in passing, poor with flutter. This relay site is going to close at end of B-13 season. Meanwhile, their entire schedule is only this, excerpted and condensed from version by Ivo Ivanov just circulated; all English except Somali at 1100-1130, 1400-1500:
04-06 12095, 15420
06-08 15420, 17640
11-11.5 15530
14-15 15420, 17690
15-20 12095, 15420
In the NASWA Flashsheet Nov 24, Jim Ronda in Tulsa said, ``Their e-QSLs were colorful and always came promptly``. If you hear BBCWS on these frequencies at other times, those are from other sites. BBC complaint of QRM to 12095 forced FCC to move WTWW from 12100 to 12105, but WTWW is off the air during this log (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9955, Dec 1 at 2044 check, the new WRMI with Brother Scare, slightly behind 9930 WTWW, and a few words ahead of 9980 WWCR, but WRMI modulation is noticeably softer than either of the others. BS is a horrible steward of all the dough psychophants shower upon him, as these three are totally duplicated coverage for hours and hours, not to mention 9370 WWRB at the other end of the 31m band.

11565, Dec 2 at 0025 is another new BS frequency via WRMI Okeechobee, initially good with lite fading, but by 0041 markedly weakening, and by 0049 very poor.

9690 is another, at first unheard, but Dec 2 at 0128, there`s a LAH with something; 0146 can recognize Brother Scare down there but very poor. Now 11565 is audible poorly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) More WRMI at U S A

** U S A. 9955, Dec 2 at 0031, Okeechobee makes no difference to the Dentro Cuban Jamming Command --- still wall-of-noise jamming, and I can`t be sure WRMI is really on the air. On WRMI Sunday night schedule, `Trova Libre` music has just finished, but it`s all-English from then on, except for one Spanish religious at 0100-0115 Monday.

Earlier, Jeff White wrote to celebrity ID-voicer Rubén Guillermo Margenet in Argentina (gh`s translation): ``We went on the air at 0500 UT Sunday. There were some audio problems during the first hour, but they were resolved. We also had a problem with transmitter 3, which carries the programming on 9955 for Latin America. A transformer burnt up, but the engineers changed it quickly and we went on the air around 0615 on 9955. But we are at low power on 9955, perhaps for a few days until a new transformer is installed. 9955 toward North America at 1400-2200 UT is on another transmitter, which should be at normal power`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also EQUATORIAL GUINEA [and non], and SOUTH CAROLINA [non]

** CHINA [non]. 13665, Dec 1 at 1210, CRI English is the OSOB, fair signal discussing relaxing the one-child policy to two (this week`s Time magazine has a good piece on how that had dire unforeseen consequences). It`s 310 degrees USward via ALBANIA at 11-13 tho destined only for NW Europe (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6080, Dec 1 at 0110, 0134, pulse jamming against nothing, of the Cuban ilk, perhaps a stray, as pretty far from 6030 wall-of-noise, and not showing up between them. Also same on 6080 at 0610, 1155, the latter now bothering Radio Australia. If on all night, will also ruin chances for Solomon Islands before 0900. Tnx a lot, Arnie!

The geniuses at RadioCuba transmitter site do it again: 9850, Dec 1 at 1201 has *two* RHC transmitters heavily QRMing each other a few Hz apart with a SAH, and the modulation periodically fades due to phase-cancellation. That`s because as per sign-on announcement, one of them is *supposed* to be on 9550, but it is missing! Still the same at 1216 during stamp show; By 1301, 9550 is finally on, and 9850 is alone.

17730 is back! on the air at 1351 in `Cuba Campesina` music, // 17580 but an echo apart, and now both of them have SAH and CCI. 17730 had been dropped in September, and was not on the initial B-13 schedule. Nothing else in HFCC, EiBi or Aoki on 17730, so maybe fast SAH is caused by RHC QRMing itself here too as it was earlier on 9850?

15340 has still not come up at 1403, tho 13780 has. By 1434, 15340 is on and VG for `En Contacto` DX program at 1435, including a ``Para los Principiantes`` segment for beginners recorded years ago by Jairo Salazar in Venezuela (whom we haven`t heard from in a long time now), explaining how most DX jargon is based on English. This is also ``día del locutor`` in Cuba, calling for self-congratulations.

11760, Dec 1 at 1611, RHC weekly-Sunday Esperanto broadcast confirmed, but rather poor with ACI from 11765. Wolfgang Büschel confirmed the previous airing Sunday at 0700 on 6000; the other being Sunday 2230 on 15370 instead of French (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [non]. 9775, Dec 1 at 1354, good open carrier from R. Free Chosun, 1406 in Korean programming; lite flutter, quite weaker than 9800 VOA Korean Tinang, but much better than could be expected trans-polar from Uzbekistan or Tajikistan as claimed. I now have info that the site for this may be, or may have been, Palauig, PHILIPPINES, i.e. R. Veritas Asia --- does RFC have a Catholic connexion? That site would fit the reception I have been getting. B-13 RVA schedule shows only two of three transmitters (one 50 kW, two 250 kW) accounted for during the 14-16 RFC bihour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. See USA: WRMI et al.

** SPAIN. 17595, 21610, 21640, Sunday Dec 1 at 1342-1346, REE `Amigos de la Onda Corta` has a segment about the JFK assassination as covered by KLIF, with lots of clips in English. Then mailbag segment (formerly a separate program), quoting listener in Cuba claiming to have been listening to 9850, an imaginary frequency. Doesn`t Antonio realize that? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TAIWAN [non]. 9335, Sunday Dec 1 at 1332, JBA carrier, presumably PCJ Radio on latest frequency via SRI LANKA. Nothing at 1407. Keith Perron says this service in English was hit by ChiCom jamming today! He`s also looking for a WRMI frequency to add later this month for North America during the same 1330-1430 Sunday broadcast; and also at 0130-0230 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 15350, fair Dec 1 at 1307-1329, so I enjoy the TRT Turkish music from this SSOB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1697 monitoring: confirmed on WTWW-1, 5830, UT Sunday December 1 from before 0501, very good. Next: Tuesday 1200 on WRMI 9955; Wednesday 0730 & 1530 on HLR 7265-CUSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. Observations of the new WRMI Okeechobee, from its inauguration UT Dec 1. WYFR used to [have to?] warm up transmitters for 10-15 minutes prior to broadcasts, but WRMI does not seem to be doing that.

Just before 0500 UT I keep checking the five frequencies on the schedule: 7570, 9355, 9955, 11565, 11730. Nothing is ever heard on the top three, maybe not on, or if on, not propagating. WRMI really needs to use bands lower than 7 MHz in the nightmiddle. Even 9 MHz is iffy.

7570 cuts on at *0500:27 with open carrier; at 0504, Brother Scare is joined in progress, no sign-on heard, tho I might have missed it while tuning around. A rather inauspicious début. At 0525 recheck, 7570 has lost BS, just open carrier/dead air; meanwhile he continues on overkill // 5085 WTWW, 5890 WWCR, 3185 WWRB.

The 7570 signal, anyhow, is very strong, far greater than neighbour 7555 WEWN. Recheck at 0559, I hear the first WRMI-Okeechobee ID and it`s by, guess who, Bob Zanotti in Switzerland --- other celebrities to follow. Then 7570 goes off at 0600*.

9355 with BS was supposed to be on at 0500; there was a JBA carrier, maybe WRMI, maybe not. By 0607, I can hear the BS on 9355 with fair signal, still nothing on 9955. Will this replace BS on 3215 WWCR? Music show instead at 0612 --- but BS has been starting at 0600 daily except Sundays. Lax WWCR still hasn`t put up a December program sked.

Resuming monitoring after an early wake-up: at 1159, 9955 is audible for a change, fair with Jeff White ID, 1200 `Christ Gospel Broadcast`. It seems now the programs are starting right on time, a good move. But modulation on the #1 WRMI frequency is quite lower than on others such as 9690, below. 1214 another Jeff ID, 1215 `Bible Commentary`. 1229 between English programs another DX-celebrity ID but in Spanish by Rubén Guillermo Margenet in Argentina; 1230 another preacher, on sked as `Sound Doctrine`. At 1259, English ID by Allen Graham in Quito, 1300 `End Times Coming` which is a 5-minute daily strip; I notice that the Korean clandestine on 9950 is louder. No break at 1329.

Nothing scheduled but gospel huxters on 9955 Sunday mornings, but note these during the 1305-1400 UT hour elsewhen: 1305-1330 Mon-Sat Radio Prague; 1330-1400 M-F, Radio Slovakia International.

9955 ID at 1359:30 is again by Bob Zanotti, but then cuts off the air, just as 9930 WTWW *1400 cuts on with super-strong signal bearing Brother Scare, overloading and desensitizing poor 9955 area. By 1405, 9955 is back on, also with BS, not synchro with 9930 but // own 9690, see below.

This is when WRMI changes transmitters and antennas on 9955 from #3 at 160 degrees to #11 at 315 degrees, first time in ~3 years WRMI has broadcast back across North America. It`s certainly stronger now, but still pales by comparison to 9930 WTWW. Oops, BS is not supposed to be on 9955 at this hour, but variety of other programs, and such is the case at 1441 recheck, preacher about Acts. 14-15 on 9955 will provide four chances to hear `Viva Miami` and two to hear `Wavescan` at various times weekdays.

9690 is new for WRMI, all with BS at 11-15 and 22-02. Unfortunately, the morning transmission totally blox All India Radio GOS in English at 1330-1500, tho for SE Asia, a chance for us to hear it in North America. At 285 degrees in the morning, WRMI 9690 has a VG signal, better than 9955, noted first at 1205 during pentecostal religious service with two or three off-mike guys moaning and praying, mixed with YL coughs and recorded music in the background.

At 1219 one of them on 9690 goes into glossolalia, a too-rare treat, speaking-in-tongues, a form of mental illness. What language key should go with this? GG is taken. XX? Did not realize at first this was TOM, as no sign of Brother Scare himself, but it`s // 5085 WTWW at 1227, and finally BS is rasping at 1231.

21525, scheduled to start at *1400 with Radio Africa, not heard at all by 1430 and presumed not really starting that early yet. Still not on at 1611 check, and would surely be propagating if on, like 21630 WHRI. R. Africa listed for 14-20 on 21525, 20-23 on 15190, so check after 2000 today whether it`s WRMI or still Equatorial Guinea (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9330, Dec 1 at 1409 while checking for PCJ on 9335, no sign of anything from WBCQ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ARGENTINA. 15345v, Sat Nov 30 at 2223, no signal from R. Nacional (15320 KSDA Guam is in well). Still nothing at 0056 December 1.

Bryan Clark in New Zealand had asked, ``RAE AWOL? No sign of RAE Buenos Aires on 15345v at 2020 UT 29 November or 11711v at 0250 UT 30 November. Nothing at their website to explain their absence. Anyone have any news about this?``

RAE operates only on weekdays, but the same transmitter on weekends is supposed to carry Radio Nacional in the evenings and is normally audible here. What`s wrong? Arnaldo Slaen is checking into it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11815, Dec 1 at 0107, R. Brasil Central, Goiânia, fair in full ID with calls and powers for OM 1270, OT 4985, OC 11815. As usual, 4985 is totally blocked here by strong RTTY (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5025, Nov 30 at 1809, less than a semihour before local mean noon, always at 1832 UT here, there is a JBA carrier on this frequency, likely what`s left of R. Rebelde after near-total but not complete absorption. This time is really closer to when the Sun is highest at the midpoint. When it should be well heard at next check 2241, obviously off the air as 5040 RHC is in well. 5025 back on again at next2 check 0112 Dec 1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11840, Dec 1 at 0108, RHC Spanish signal is very strong, but modulation is very suppressed, tsk2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FRANCE [and non]. 17850, Nov 30 at 1756-1757* REE has a SAH from co-channel interference, then in the clear. HFCC shows RFI in French also here at 1700-1800, 500 kW, 153 degrees from Issoudun. REE is really from Noblejas, of course, adjacent countries but different targets, despite HFCC B-13 *still* showing it as CRI = Cariari, Costa Rica, which ceased this frequency a year ago and totally ceased a month ago. Now why in the world not spread out to open frequencies in this nearly-vacant band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE [and non]. 9420, Dec 1 at 0101, traditional VOG IS including cowbells(?), ID as Ellenike Radiophonia, so it`s survived into another new month. Atop CCI from CRI English via Kashgar (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MALI. 5995, Nov 30 from before 2230 and at 2241, open carrier/dead air with flutter. I suppose it must be R. Mali, still burning the 50 kW for nothing, 18 hours a day from 0600 when we usually hear it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 780, Dec 1 at 0125 UT, Spanish music looping N/S, over WBBM as that can be only heard with this partially nulled. Music stops and starts again; 0128 SHVA ID as ``La Poderosa``, as already linked to XESFT San Fernando, Tamaulipas, despite that slogan lacking in the main references (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 950, Dec 1 at 0123 UT, song in Spanish, segué to ranchera, on top for a while. If looping SSW can be relied on, most likely XERN, Radio Naranjera, Monterrey NL (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 1300, Dec 1 at 0116 UT, romantic music in Spanish from WSW is dominant signal, as if XEP Juárez is still on 38 kW day power; 0117 ID as R. Trece seems undermodulated by comparison to the music but signal is also suddenly weaker, as if they just got around to switching to night power 500 watts (per IRCA; WRTH says only 50 kW); into ads under too much QRM now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 6185-, Nov 30 at 1810 something is here, just barely modulated, and it`s slightly on the lo side compared to WWV, i.e. good evidence that XEPPM is in fact broadcasting all day, not just evenings. Checked this after getting a carrier on 5025 from presumed Cuba at mid-day. Distance from the DF is 1.9 megameters, slightly closer than Habana, and the next higher band has a propagational advantage. I imagine it`s much better further south in Baja Oclajoma.

6185 checked again at 2215, now fair signal strength but undermodulated as usual, playing jazz; 2237 announcement but can`t be sure it`s Spanish as the ACI from 6180 Brasil is getting more and more severe.

MW 1060 XEEP displays a detailed program schedule, supposedly in advance but as of Saturday night there`s nothing for Nov 30, just Fri Nov 29. So I go back to the previous Saturday Nov 23, and by golly, they did/do have a jazz hour at 16-17 local time:
http://www.radioeducacion.edu.mx/sabado-23-de-noviembre-de-2013

So I can confidently conclude that XEPPM is active on 6185 during the day, simulcasting MW, while from 0000 UT it`s separate SW programming (but apparently not 24h, as it does go off after 0600, and never heard before/around sunrise) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NETHERLANDS [non]. 7375, Dec 1 at 0130, The Mighty KBC, Eric introducing Kim Elliott 35 seconds lake for a minute of radiotones; 0132 happy birthday to Martin Gallas, who was 66 last week, with Beatles` request ``Let It Be``. Usual good signal via Nauen, GERMANY (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6940-AM, Dec 1 at 0057, open carrier from a pirate; 0059 TC for 6 seconds before 0100, ID as ``XFM, The Power of X``, good signal, then music. 0126 still in well; 0132 pro-sounding announcer is apparently wrapping up, with ``Whiter Shade of Pale``, says he hopes the Radio Ronin relay earlier was OK.

** PERU [and non]. 5980, Dec 1 at 0055, probably Tibetan from VOA SRI LANKA, very poor with heavy flutter, CCI; off by 0059 leaving trace of Chinese jamming, and that`s off in another minute, leaving R. Chaski whose carrier stays on until cut at 0103:44*, which is 11.5 seconds later than 48 hours ago. (Last night I was out watching Enid Light Up the Plains, with fireworx.) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1697 monitoring: confirmed on WTWW-2, 5085, a few seconds before 0030 UT Sunday Dec 1, now a quite reliable airing; and to repeat at 0501 UT Sunday on WTWW-1, 5830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, Sat Nov 30 at 1615 for a few minutes, *maybe* a JBA carrier from WRMI during the alleged final WORLD OF RADIO broadcast at this time, on the final day of the ex-Radio Clarín Wilkinson transmitter in Hialeah which is going to be scrapped once WRMI takes over Okeechobee. So even I could not get a legitimate special-QSL as offered. And the WRMI webstream is still not working either. I suppose it`s down as part of the re-installation Lakeside.

As I write and dispatch this before 0500 UT Dec 1, WRMI is about to start its new era via Okeechobee. One more hour of WRMI programming until 0600 is due on 9955, switching from Hialeah to Okeechobee at 0500 with what should be a huge leap in signal strength even tho it`s still aimed south-southeast. Will the legal ID now be WRMI already?

Overcomer frequencies on the schedule at 0500: 9355, 7570, 11565, 11730. Many more during the rest of the day and night.

Of more interest will be checking 9955 at 1400, when it switches from 160 to 315 degrees; only the 14-15 UT hour currently scheduled with RMI programming aimed back across North America. The NW beam from Hialeah had not been used for some three years.

Also, what will Radio Africa contain, at 14-20 on 21525, 20-23 on 15190? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15655 approx., Nov 30 at 1801, modulation spike spurs around here I can match to modulation peaks on 15825 WWCR, which is quite strong, enough to audiblize these spurs again.

BTW, I notice that some editors refuse to let me use that useful word, which makes perfectly good sense and whose meaning is obvious. Such is the fate of a coiner (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5050-AM, Nov 30 at 2242, WWRB is on with Barber`s `Adagio for Strings` punxuating some preaching. Maybe the latest phase of USB-only on 5050 has passed? But at 0050 Dec 1, 5050 is off the air; it all depends.

I think Brother Scare was on 5050 before that; and I happened to check 3185 at 2245 to find BS JBA, as it must have just switched from its day frequency 9370 which I had tuned across a few minutes earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VIETNAM [non]. 5930, Nov 30 at 2213 music, 2220 Vietnamese announcement, fair; 2228 open carrier to 2229.4*, i.e. VOV, 114 degrees from Woofferton UK at 2130-2230 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX ISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 750, Nov 30 at 1816 UT, during my midday bandscan on the DX-398, KMMJ Nebraska in English has a SAH of about 8 Hz, both looping about the same N/S. That`s a hint that KSEO Durant OK could really be on the air; no one has answered my previous request to confirm it closer (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
