Logs in Reinante and Friol

Cable antenna, 8 meters

Glenn Hauser logs December 3-4, 2016


** CUBA. 5010, Dec 4 at 0102, JBA carrier, probably leapfrog of 5040 RHC over 5025 Rebelde another 15 kHz lower (but a reverse leap on 5055 is not audible this time). Unlikely Madagascar, as too close to on-frequency, and too middle-of-the-night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CZECHIA [non]. 5850, Sat Dec 3 at 2345 I`m listening on the BST1 caradio to R. Prague relay via WRMI (following the DSWCI special), when the YL mentions that this is their FINAL `Mailbox` show. It`s being discontinued since they aren`t getting enough e-mail response (let alone postal?), as it`s steadily falling since they abandoned SW a few years ago (errr, not quite!). NOW, all they need is immediate feedback from listeners on FB! But you can still e-mail them if you like. BTW, the R. Prague 2330 English broadcast does not appear on the non-9955 WRMI program schedule grids for 5850, but it does appear on the frequency schedule grid above it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** DENMARK [non]. 5850, Dec 3 at 2300-2329, Part I of the DSWCI farewell special, comes off without a hitch on WRMI, usual VG signal on this channel; comments by Anker Petersen et al., recorded at their final AGM in October, explaining why club is being disbanded at yearend due to leaders in their 70s ready to retire and no younger blood to take over. Another club, which continues, RMRC, handled this produxion, and host explains two or three times how to QSL: Report NOT to the stations carrying it but to their own addresses. Part II is to air one week later at same time (and four others on WRMI). Part I to repeat immediately at 2330 on 11580, unchecked here but heard in Argentina by Arnaldo Slaen (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** IRAN. 7420, Dec 4 at 0113, S7 signal in Spanish, from IRIB, 500 kW slewed -25 degrees so it`s due west from Sirjan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MADAGASCAR. 9855, Dec 3 at 2051, pop music at S9+10, soon French announcement about Japon, so must have been J-pop, from NHK as scheduled from 2030 until 2100* cut off before the final timesignal beep (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MADAGASCAR [and non]. 17570, Dec 3 at 2015, S9 unknown African language talk, 2020 songs, 2030 stops for open carrier, 2032* off. HFCC shows AWR, 2000-2030, 250 kW, 305 degrees from Talata daily in Mos language, which despite no S in it, per EiBi readme.txt translates to ``MOO Moore/Mòoré: Burkina Faso (5 million) [mos]``.

What makes this especially interesting is the presence of two carriers offset to the high side, which is Sudanese-style jamming: approx. 17571.235 and 17572.415, while AWR itself is on 17570.006. The jammers also producing hets with each other, are at least as strong as the target. These are still on past 2033. So why would B.F. bother to jam this, or is it now a more Sudanese language? And still, why jam it? 

Well, 17570 is used earlier at 1630-1730 for AWR via Germany in Somali and Amharic, the latter a more sensitive language, but Ethiopian jamming is usually DRMish noise rather than carrier/hets/tones, as applied against R. Dabanga (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MADAGASCAR. 17640, Dec 3 at 2013 check, still zilch from MWV Mahajanga, APR alleged English hour. Propagation is certainly OK; see MAD 17570 AWR log (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NETHERLANDS [non]. 6145, Dec 4 at 0125, Mighty KBC via GERMANY, S9+25: Uncle Eric says he`s going on a special diet, ``no more fat hamburgers``, into Paul Revere & the Raiders. Addresses us as ``shortwave commandos``; 0130+ Kim Elliott Radiogram beeps I gather portraying the Dutch Sint Nikolaas (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6940, Dec 4 at 0108, tune-in to fragment of one word and immediately into SSTV beeps, which seem to be centred about 6941.50, ending with a single beep at 0110*. It`s Wolverine Radio per 
several HFU logs including this with the romantic sunset SSTV image:
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, Dec 4 at 0100, JBA carrier from R. Chaski until autocutoff at 0106:01*, which is 26 seconds later than last check four nights ago, Nov 30 until 0105:35*, appropriately averaging 6.5 seconds later per (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENNG DIGEST)

** UGANDA [non]. 15240, Sat Dec 3 at 1953, fair-good S9+10 signal in presumed Luganda, mentioning ``Ugaaanda`` several times, still going past 2013, so R. Munansi as usual via WWRB, but running later than originally. I was also hearing a very poor signal on 15240 before and after 17 UT, presumed same. Recheck at 2106, African? music or at least carrier must *still* be on after WWRB`s registered finish at 2100, since there is a fast SAH with presumed R. Australia, known to start 15240 at 2100, altho they are absent from HFCC B-16:
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also USA: WWRB: 3195

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1854 monitoring: confirmed Sat Dec 3 at 2330 on WBCQ 9330.09-CUSB, fair. Also confirmed UT Sun Dec 4 at 0425 on WA0RCR, MO, 1860-AM, about 7 minutes in, so started circa 0418; S9+30 muscling aside most of the CW QRM (Earlier check at 0134 Dec 4 found 1860-AM surrounded and slightly QRMed by CW. Bottom Band is chock full of CW CQs, must be a contest, up to 1875, where an LSB mixes in, and only phone above 1875). Next:

Wed 2200   WBCQ 7490v to WSW
Thu 0030   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, Sat Dec 3 at 2100, WRMI switches from The Overkiller to --- Xmas music! quite sectarian, rather than eclectic World Music. Maybe something secular intermixed later, but I`m tuning away. More Xmas music momentarily secular (Merry Little Xmas) is on much stronger 9930 WTWW-2; while 15770, WRMI at 2100 is in Dub Politico screed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 3215, UT Sun Dec 4 at 0013, tune-in to another F-RANT-z from Dave on WWRB. Signal is clean and clearly modulated now. He`s killing time until a 0030 program. Among his points: churches are dead, anti-social clubs, eating up $1000 a day in tithe money to be vacant buildings, 6+ days a week, whitèd sepulchers full of dead man`s bones. Will give you spiritual AIDS, but the fastest way to get it is to go to a Catholic church, dog-and-pony shows, where they bugger little kids.

NOTE: I am closely paraphrasing what Dave says, altho not in strict quotation marks; NOT what I am saying! Says he is not mad, just frustrated at so little business for his broadcasting; airtime cost no more than a newspaper ad.

0019 takes a Hammond organ break for a few minutes, waiting for 0030 program to call-in. Says don`t confuse WWRB with that other station on 3215, which takes over at 9 pm ET when WWRB moves to 3195: SW stations can`t stay on same frequency all the time. (Yes, they could, like 3195 only for WWRB, 3215 only for WWCR.) 

A bit more rant, pregnant pause, and 0030 over to anticipated program which is `American Prophecy` from Greentown OH, Sat 7:30-9 pm ET on Shortwave 1, 3215, but probably changing back to 5050, SW 2 in April. Webcast via WWRB site. Their own website has summer and winter frequencies reversed. It`s also on WHKW; they offer free stuff and allegedly don`t ask for money. A few minutes later into sermon(?) as it seems this is another end-times conspiracy ministry and I tune out (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7505.36v, Dec 4 at 0204, S9 WRNO, someone about to read from a book by Dr Mawire, drifts up to 7505.40 and during music abruptly jumps way down to 7504.87 to start another drift upward. And so it goes (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 780-CUSB, Dec 4 at 0143 UT, cowboy music obviously from KCEG, ``The Ranch``, Fountain CO, NO signal on LSB, but on USB mixing with WBBM which is DSB. So I can listen to WBBM QRM-free but not KCEG, even with WBBM nulled as much as possible. 0150 UT, program is `Calling All Cowboys`. 

Then ad for Royal Gorge Cabaret, Rosenkranz Mysteries, but AC 312 phone and then mention Highland Park. Oops, this part is WBBM, not KCEG, for there is no Royal Gorge Cabaret near Colorado Springs, but there is a Royal GEORGE Theatre in Chicago --- with Rosenkranz!

0159 UT definitely back to KCEG for outro to `Calling All Cowboys`, which says it originates with 88.9 KPOV, High Desert Community Radio in Bend OR, then ID mentioning Colorado Springs. KCEG is 1900/720 watts U4 and not specified as USB only in the NRC AM Log, an essential datum in my opinion, like it also is for KHAC, 880-CUSB, AZ. CUSB meaning carrier plus USB; as far as I can tell it is not reduced, as typically done on SW, WBCQ 9330. KCEG day pattern goes north, smaller night pattern SSE, neither should be much good for here but it`s a significant challenge to WBBM when KSPI is off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 711.0, Dec 4 at 0147, carrier/het first noticed against KCMO/KYBA, likely the 300 kW Moroccan in El Aiyun, -[spelt by WRTH Laâyoune], occupied WESTERN SAHARA, the closest, strongest and most oft-reported 711 TA from further east. Loops about ENE, and the true bearing of El Aaiún from Enid is exactly 70 degrees. Made sure het was not on low side from sometimes off-frequency Mexican. Nothing on 783 from neighbor Mauritania (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Logs in Friol

Glenn Hauser logs December 2-3, 2016


** ANGOLA. 4949.73, Dec 3 at 0103, RNA is S8 and with much improved modulation, which they must have fixed during recent outage: Portuguese talk; Also at 0510 check in S6 music, but gone by 0611 recheck (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [and non]. 7415, Dec 2 at 1758, JBA carrier 34 minutes before local mean noon. IBB Chinese via TINIAN is here at 1500-2100, and thus so is CNR1 jamming (or possibly Firedragon). After 1800, CRI in Farsi via Xi`an is also supposed to be on 7415. Only other one audible on band is 7445, presumably BBC MADAGASCAR as before; altho 1730-1830 is also scheduled CRI Chinese via Urumqi toward Europe (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH. 2850, Dec 3 at 1334, KCBS is S8 in Korean talk, better than usual; at least a carrier is usually audible around sunrise; OSOB on 105 meters (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST0

** MADAGASCAR. 17640, Dec 2 at 1801, still no signal from African Pathways on MWV English. 

9600, Dec 3 at 0108, MWV`s other English hour = New Life Station as on KNLS Alaska, ending ``music from the 80s, 90s and today`` at S9, into ``American Highway`` about I-70 in Kansas and some historic site there. This segment is by Paul Ladd, but I don`t find a script for it on the KNLS website (monarchists: where the K stands for King`s):
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7409.995, UT Sat Dec 3 at 0440, here`s [Station YHWH] at S8, hardly readable but recognizable. Still on at 0509 but now there is ACI from 7415 Ascension.

Chris Smolinski, Maryland, also tells me, ``Better propagation tonight, I have him on 7410 at 0431z. Weak, but I recognize the voice`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO [and non]. 6185, Dec 2 at 1756, mid-day JBA carrier search on 49m finds XEPPM, but also an even weaker one on 6070, CFRX (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1530, Dec 3 at 1320 UT, KXTD with non-ID for ``Que Buena, 104.9 y 100.3`` but not 1530. 104.9 is the translator in Tulsa, while 100.3 is KCXR in Taft OK (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U K. 3950-3955-3960, Dec 3 at 0617, DRM noise, forcing North American hams to avoid these 10 kHz to which they are entitled. It`s BBCWS in English, 100 kW, 114 degrees from Woofferton at 0559-0700 (Glenn Hauser, OK< DX LISTENING DIGEST)

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5130.07-AM, UT Sat Dec 3 at 0056, WBCQ IS & ID loop, S9+10; nothing on 3250v; 7490.03, from 0100, `Allan Weiner Worldwide`, then joined by 5130 several seconds delayed. AW starts out with ``WBCQ is not a safe place`` with its free-speech political programmers, and he doesn`t like being linked to Trump despite having supported him. Ramsey on the phone is his sounding board (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7504.985v, UT Sat Dec 3 at 0447, WRNO in Chinese at S9+10 fading to S7. Keeps drifting upward as I try to measure it, here as of 0453 when it`s music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser logs December 1-2, 2016


** ASCENSION. 5975, Dec 2 at 0637, tonal African language at S7, i.e. BBC Hausa during this semihour daily (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 6100, Dec 2 at 0021, something in Portuguese, poor tho reading S9+10, not noticed before. HFCC shows it`s CRI, 500 kW, 318 degrees from Beijing site to CIRAF 12-14, i.e. a long way to S America, aiming northwestward but not for Portugal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11810 & 11820 & 11830 & 11840 & 11850 & 11860 & 11870, Dec 2 at 1345, RHC on multiple frequencies tnx to spurs out of the 11840 fundamental, which is S9+40 this morning. Previously detectable reliably only on 11830 & 11850, and once before on 11860 which I then thought was only receiver overload, but now obviously really transmitted. 11860 doesn`t yet have much QRM from Yemen [non]. 

The first-order spurs on 11850 and 11830 are S9+10, hefty signals themselves. Searching for others, they get progressively weaker but exist as confirmed by // on another receiver to 11840. Since 11860 is there, how about minus 20 on 11820? Yes, and still remains even with R75 preamp off. Let`s go for another 10 kHz out: Yes! 11870 and 11810 are JBA at 1347. All of them are gone at 1407 check as 11840 has closed (and by now Yemen is up to S8 on 11860). Another accomplishment of RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) see also UNID 5030

** GUATEMALA. 4055, Dec 2 at 0706, open carrier at S6, presumably Radio Truth which would have signed off an hour earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NETHERLANDS [non]. 11580, Thu Dec 1 at 2029 on WRMI, PCJ Radio International ID and 2030 into `Media Network` [not Plus, minus?]. Initial topix include Astra 1-C launched from Kourou, Guiana French; Tristan da Cunha ceased SW last week. AFAN Antarctica reactivated? No, not likely as no longer needed on SW, but an Italian private station has been on 6012 testing. FEN Japan ceased SW 3910 & 6155 on May 5, 1988; but 11750 & 15260 lasted until May 31. What about NSB? Not expected to continue on SW much longer. Show plays as if current, but this is really very old news. Finally at 2035 a reference implying that the current year is 1993 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEWFOUNDLAND. 6159.962, Dec 2 at 0451, still only one poor CBC signal here, so is it still CKZN with no CKZU? Yes, 0500 CBC news is fading in and out, but 0504 into Monocle 24 from London, within the CBC Overnight sked, which would not have started yet in BC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** NORTH AMERICA. 7405, UT Fri Dec 2 at 0447, deliberate search for [Station YHWH] tuning upward from 7300 finds him here tonight, S8 signal talking about Yahweh. Axually about 5 Hz low on 7404.995, but his frequency accuracy is better than a lot of non-pirates.

I told Chris Smolinski about this, and he replies, ``Thanks Glenn, I see a carrier on my SDR recordings from 0319 until 0530 UTC. No obvious audio, but I will listen some more`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 9675, Dec 1 at 2041, YL talking in language? Fair-poor. It`s BSKSA in Turkish at 18-21, 340 degrees from Riyadh, and carrying on to here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** TURKEY. 5960, Dec 2 at 0023, VOT is overrunning again, still on air to North America in German instead of quitting English circa 2350; S9+15, also with lite het on low side from Urumqi (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1854 monitoring: confirmed Thursday December 1 at 2130 on WRMI 13695, excellent. Not confirmed, UT Fri Dec 2 at 0029-0031+ on WBCQ 9330v-CUSB where there is not even a reduced carrier audible (while 9265 WINB rates S4), so off or just not propagating? Next:

** U S A. 7490, UT Fri Dec 2 at 0010, what`s filling the gap on WBCQ this week? Anti-government discussion of how Aroostook County, Maine (inhabited by WBCQ) is being deliberately depopulated in order to preserve its natural resources. Not sure which program this is.

Aroostook, the largest county by land area east of the Rockies, is already so sparse that some maps, such as the Rand McNally Atlas, make northern Maine a small inset to the rest of the state on a larger scale (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 11990-12110, Dec 2 at 1409, range of humbuzz splatter out of dirty 12050 WEWN Spanish transmitter which is S9+30 on fundamental and degraded itself. The humbuzz is worse the closer to 12050, severely QRMing Turkey 12035, Australia 12065 and even 12085 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 640, Dec 2 at 1337 UT, KWPN Moore OK sportstalk is absent, but I am getting a good E/W signal with talk about a green spot in the Libyan desert, turns out to be gospel huxter. Could it be KFI? Program sked at http://kfiam640.iheart.com/onair/ shows `Coast to Coast AM` starting at 10 pm PT [0600 UT] on Thursday, and nothing else until 6 am Friday [1400 UT]. More like WCRV Collierville (Memphis) TN per REL format, 50 kW daypower starting at 1300 UT in Dec, (night power only 480 watts) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 690, Dec 2 at 1340 UT, KGGF Coffeyville KS in local news, YL mentions ``98.9 Double Q FM``. That would be sibling station KQQF, obviously a qutely kindred call, but is it now duplicative? WTFDA FM Database does not show // 690 and names it ``Star 98.9`` with HOT AC format. And it`s the only FM station in Coffeyville proper, not even a translator of KGGF or anything (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 750, Dec 2 at 1341 UT, Ukrainian talk from NE, 1342 UT sounds like an ID, which would be WNDZ Portage IN (Chicago market and address), 15 kW daytimer, direxional pattern tangent westward, plenty toward here. Ukrainian really stix out on the domestic AM dial (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VATICAN. 9660, Dec 1 at 2045, French discussion of SE Nigeria, i.e. Biafra? It`s Vatican Radio from SMG. Routine log, but rumors keep flying that VR may be abolished at least from SW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** YEMEN [non]. 11860, Dec 2 at 1500-1505 approx., dead air from Republic of Yemen Radio, preceded and followed by music. Good signal now, but before 1400, 11860 was dominated by the CUBA spur, q.v. By 1408 Y, via SAUDI ARABIA? had faded up to S8 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search December 2, UT, all looping NW, not WSW, except for 1098 from west:

1053 at 1320, 1327

1197 at 1321
1566 at 1323

All on the DX-398 with internal ferrite antenna only, except *R75 with E-W longwire (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5030, Dec 2 at 0641, the JBA carrier again. Sure would like to think it`s Ouagadougou reactivated; others please check also in evenings. But since some Cuban transmitters (see 11840!) put spurs out at 10 kHz intervals, could this be from RHC 5040 which is S9+20, also mixing its splash with Rebelde from 5025? No, 5030 is still there at 0705 after 5040 is off.

BTW, correct spelling of the long-gone Peruvian on 5030 location: Huamachuco, not Huamachucho (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5579.0-USB, Dec 2 at 0028, only 2-way in Spanish, as I am checking for 5580 R. San José, Bolivia (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7200-LSB, Dec 1 at 2053, lots of AROs talking over each other, not QSOs, no IDs, and mixed with someone playing music, then siren sound, a free-for all on the favorite 41m frequency of naughty hams. What is ARRL`s position on this? If it were interested in enforcement, the FCC could have a field day with this (pardon the expression) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Propagation News – 4 December 2016

Last week was a mixed bag in terms of HF propagation. The solar flux index hovered around the 80 mark and the K-index was poor at the weekend, although a little more settled later in the week.

Last weekend saw the CW leg of CQ Worldwide and the consensus was that conditions weren’t brilliant. We said that 20 and 15m would be the optimum HF bands with occasional 10m openings. This turned out to be true as Roger, G3LDI proved by only working 67 stations on 10 metres in 48 hours. Roger said that they were mostly weak and watery European contacts, despite using a three-element SteppIR. The days of extensive DX openings on 10m may, alas, be behind us for a few years.

Back to the Sun, there have been three visible sunspot groups, with region 2615 generating M-class solar flares. So watch out for potential coronal mass ejections and flare-induced blackouts or sudden ionospheric disturbances.

As we head into December, now is the best time for the low bands, especially Top Band and 80m. You may find that the evening critical frequency drops so much that 40m struggles to open to DX at times. With a typical critical frequency of around 3MHz at 2000hrs even 80m may struggle at distances less than 300-400km. Unfortunately, geomagnetic conditions are also predicted to be unsettled from December 7th to the 11th due to recurrent coronal hole effects.

VHF and up propagation:

High pressure will continue to provide slightly improved tropo conditions on the VHF/UHF bands at the beginning of the week, but there is likely to be a slow decline later as pressure falls to the north of Britain. Although lift conditions could affect much of the country at first, these will become confined to the south by midweek and all gone soon after.

Don’t forget to try the multimode part of the bands with CW or SSB, and do call CQ and announce your activity in advance on email reflectors, DX chat such as ON4KST.info and social media if the bands seem quiet.

The Moon is at lowest declination today and path losses are still high, but declination goes positive late on Thursday 8th and losses are lower. Look out for GHz bands EME operation from Jericho from that day until 13 December by E44QX and E44HP.

The big Geminids meteor shower is now only a week away. The zenithal hourly rate for this shower is up to 120 meteors per hour, so it’s a really good one. We’ll have more information next week as to the best times to operate. Look at dl1dbc.net for Virgo, a Java real-time meteor tracking web page that may help you. Unfortunately it doesn’t run on all browsers: you may have to try more than one before you get it to work.

Glenn Hauser logs November 30-December 1, 2016


** CUBA. 9710 & 9535, Dec 1 at 0510, open carrier/dead air from RHC Spanish frequencies, not turned off at 0500, but not switching to English either like sometimes. 

11840, Dec 1 at 0513, RHC Spanish still running here somewhat undermodulated but S9+20, plus the parasitic spurs on 11830 & 11850 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7330, UT Thu Dec 1 at 0413 tune-in, it`s the YHWH guy, at S8 but deep fades. His imperious no-nonsense voice is easily recognized, and occasional references to Yahweh (Yahway?) confirm the source. It seems that around 0400 UT on the 7 MHz expanded-broadcast band is his most active time; I previously heard on 7410, and by Ron Howard also on 7335. No reports yet of any other times or any other frequencies. Mostly unreadable but I keep tuned and check periodically, finding him still going at 0426, 0450, 0500; 0522 coming in better, saying there is no independent historical record that J. C. even existed, only in the fables of the New Testament. Still at 0550, but off by 0558. So maybe on for about two hours, rather than one.

Ron Howard monitored a previous broadcast closely and found that IDs as ``Station YHWH`` had been edited out of his recorded sermons. Possibly attempting to distance himself from the ``station`` already busted by the FCC a couple years ago, but it`s obviously all the same, so I am going to continue to refer to this as [Station YHWH] until and unless he come up with another new name (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** U S A. 7192-LSB, Dec 1 at 0421, calling CM1ZB (Cuban novice?) but no reply; it`s a net also open for check-ins, ``Ham Nation post-show net``, after a Wed 9 pm webcast on Twit(?) featuring Bob Heil (without his organ?), Gordon West, et al. NCS is in FL, KC7FPF, addresses everyone as Sir. ARRL lookup shows: YOUNG, KEVIN A, KC7FPF, Bronson, FL 32621. Ran across this while looking unsuccessfully for Eritreans (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1853 monitoring: confirmed at 1440 Nov 30 the Wednesday 1415.5 airing on WRMI 9955, good. Also confirmed Wed Nov 30 at 2200 on WBCQ 7490, good (BTW, no ID fired just before it, perhaps because Financial Survival was running a bit late). Busy preparing next WOR, missed checking WBCQ 9330v-CUSB UT Thu Dec 1 at 0030, but at 0100, detectable JBA with Blalock the Blaster, so WOR was probably on, but as is becoming normal now, hardly propagating.  

WORLD OF RADIO 1854 monitoring: confirmed first SW airing Thursday December 1 after 1230 on WRMI 9955, good. Next:
Thu 2130   WRMI 13695 to NW
Fri 0030   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW

Thu 0030   WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, Wed Nov 30 at 1445 following WORLD OF RADIO, finally a new episode of `Viva Miami` on WRMI. Jeff says some FL ham club groups have been visiting Okeechobee, and he interviews a young person outside, sounds like a YL, Ridley McDonald? who seems more into geocaching than ham radio. Remarx that many hams have no experience with HF and vacuum tubes, so seeing WRMI is an eye-opener. Fills out the time by acknowledging names from whom reception reports have been received, and promises QSLs; an intern has been catching up with verifying and Jeff has a stack of them in front of him about to go into the mail today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5085, Nov 30 at 0640, WTWW-2 is on with Xmas music, only S9+20 and carrier is wobbling vs stable BFO as confirmed vs WWV and any normal carriers. Expect a lot more airtime for the duration in order to overkill us with Xmas music.

5830, Nov 30 at 0643, WTWW-1 with SFAW audio breaking up, S9+30 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5030, Dec 1 at 0515, JBA carrier. If a broadcaster, this is mystifying as nothing is listed anywhen in EiBi or HFCC. I`m certainly not going to assume it`s R. Virgen de la Alta, Huamachucho, Perú as in Aoki, as some list-loggers are prone to believe, Aoki lacking any annotations of inactivity; since it`s really been off the air for many years. Doesn`t even make the deleted list in the 2016 DSWCI Domestic Broadcasting Survey, which does show that Bhutan and Sarawak have not been heard on 5030 since 2011y. That listing does not go back before 2011. Burkina Faso is in the DXLD archives still active on 5030 in 2010y (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
