ECUADOR ? 4814.98, Radio El Buen Pastor, Saraguro, still stable on
this fqy and available some mornings, but weak. Nearby Brazilian
already faded out. Noted stn 11/21 at 1050 beginning to fade in,
usual bassy-voiced OM in both SS and indigenous lang, spoke thru to
TOH when long recorded ad block began, some en eco, ads including
local 'numeros telefonos?. Despite tough signal, happy to hear
several 100% clear mentions of ?Saraguro? as location for advertisers.
Signal peaked by 1103 when HC pasillo began, but only fair at best
and under blipping ute . 1106 sound effect bridge and segue to more HC
musica nacional, plucked acoustic guitar. By 1110 signal fading down
into the ambient noise and no longer listenable tho carrier could
still be traced. Weak station, only probably 1/10 the signal that
Radio Oriental 4781+ was putting thru at same time, for sake of
comparison. (Perry, Illinois)
UNID / BRAZIL ? 4824.96, unid station here weakly with mx at 2355 on
11/20, partly underneath ?boinker? ute and best hrd in USB ECSS.
Radio Cancao Nova, Cachoeira Paulista, Brazil, has been regularly
reported on this precision-measured fqy in past. Mx to TOH, bells or
tones at 0000 and then OM + YL in what seemed to probably be PP
discussion. Note: Have spent many mornings and evenings monitoring
this fqy, looking for the reportedly reactivated LV Selva, but other
than 4824.49 open carrier at 1040+ (which never goes to programming,
all the way past 1110) and Radio Sicuani 4826.59 some mornings, and
the Brazilian, seems nothing else there to be heard. Perhaps a little
help from LA DXing friends closer to Iquitos ? e.g. PFA, are you
hearing a reactivated LV Selva? Anybody else hearing LVS? Thanks in
advance. (Perry, Illinois)

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, Nov 21 at 1347 and a couple later chex, no sign of LRA36.
We may have to wait until February (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CROATIA [non]. 7375, Nov 21 at 0209, fast SAH as usual from the two Nauen,
GERMANY transmitters broadcasting Voice of Croatia to South and North America;
also some `reverb` indicating a slight mismatch in modulation timing. I have
now notified M&B about the frequency mismatch, so we`ll see if and when that
gets fixed. You`d think every SW transmitter would have a fine-tuning control
for the frequency, but apparently not (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11840, Nov 21 at 0556, sign-off of RHC Spanish service is *still*
announcing years-out-of-date frequency lineup for the morning transmission from
``1100`` (really 1200 in winter): 15120, 15360, 13760; from *13 13680, 13780;
11760, 12000; 9600 until 13*; 6000, 6180 until 13*. The only ones of these they
are still using in mornings are 13780, 11760! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** GUIANA FRENCH. 5844, 5926, 5994, 6076, Nov 21 at 0205 check, NHK 5960 relay
is still putting out dirty spurblobs around these frequencies among others
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 11510, Nov 21 at 1440, enjoying the Kurdish music from
Denge Kurdistan via PRIDNESTROVYE; much preferable to all the Kurdish talk
emanating from VOA 13580 via Wertachtal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 730, Nov 21 at 1340 UT, ``Que Buena, 107.1 FM`` ID and music; oops,
must misspell it, make that Ke Buena, as in Cant?:
730 XEHB Ke buena + FM 107.1 Hidalgo del Parral, Chih. 50,000 1,000
This was the only significant XE signal as I scanned the entire band 25 minutes
after sunrise here. And was one of the regulars during the NW Mexican SRS peak
season in Sept-Oct, now apparently well over (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 960, UT Wed Nov 21 at 0600, KGWA Enid fails to stop modulating,
instead Fox ``news``, so no understation DX tonight. It`s been quite a while
since this happened (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1120, Nov 21 at 0605 UT, romantic Spanish music best with KMOX
nulled, making SAH of 2.8 Hz this time: Daytimer KEOR, Sperry/Catoosa/Tulsa,
continues to test with no announcements ever heard, apparently all-night so
certainly DXable at distance if you can get past KMOX. Just don`t expect to
hear any ID. Bruce Winkelman and I will vouch for its source (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOMALILAND. 7120, Nov 21 at 1503, JBA carrier perhaps from R. Hargeisa
starting its evening broadcast. Did not check it before 1403* today so why not
now? It`s really late, 108 minutes after sunrise here. With BFO, compared to
other -120 signals, weak broadcasters on 12120, 15120, plus KEOR 1120, and
found all of them were at slightly different pitches/precise frequencies (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15746 approx., Nov 21 at 1345, FMy spurblob in Spanish news, quickly
matched to VOA `Buenos D?as Am?rica` from Greenville on 15590, and furthermore
to a twin 156 kHz below there, 15434 (but no doubles of those detectable around
15278 or 15902) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5050, Nov 21 at 0211, WWRB is still back on, and now // 3195 with
gospel music, hymn apparently derived from Psalm LIV (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7506.4, Nov 21 at 0208, WRNO is off the air for the second night.
They might as well give up on this POS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 930, Nov 21 at 1335 UT, deep-nulling of groundwave from WKY OKC
continues to be productive: news in English about record harvest of bears
(???), Wisconsin Public Radio news, wpr.org mentioned, WLBL. I suppose it`s
programmed out of WHA Madison, despite the local ID. This is 5 kW when on day
power, from Auburndale, which is otherwise too insignificant to appear in my
Rand McNally atlas index. FCC AM Query topo map shows: ESE of Marshfield in
Wood County, a significant 19-kiloperson town, in turn SW of Wausau in the
center of the state, no doubt no accident, an ideal spot to plant this
non-direxional service. But only 70 watts at night for the Auburndalians. As
for the ``bear harvest``, it must have been deer:
http://www.wpr.org/news/display_headline_story.cfm?storyid=35237
BTW, I listen every Sunday at 1830-2000 UT to WPR online, but that`s the other
classical stream, live concerts from an art museum. At intermission they talk
about the exhibits, which is sort of frustrating (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1200, Nov 21 at 1323 UT, plug for some Univision (TV) show, news
reports mixing English and Spanish. Dominant over WOAI. Must be WRTO Chicago,
which is a Univisi?n Am?rica (they skip the accents, but I sure won`t)
affiliate; not only the single one listed on 1200 in the 2012 NRC AM Log, but
the only 1200 SS in the US. Previous unID of a Mexican here could have been
this too. Other Chicago clears were still audible shortly after sunrise here at
1315 but 1248 in Chicago per gaisma.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1480, Nov 21 at 1314 UT tune-in, no waiting for an ID: ``The more you
listen, the better you feel, KBXD, Dallas`` and into a quarter-hour of `The
Power of Pentecost`, featuring pre-Thanksgiving hymn, ``Thank God for the
Blood``. Oooh. Dominant signal on frequency. Today`s Enid sunrise: 1315 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1040, Nov 21 at 0601 UT, in WHO null with 4 Hz SAH, ``Smoke Gets
In Your Eyes``, 0603 Spanish song by a gringo, ``Acomp??ame``. I`m suspecting
Cuba; only 1040 listed in WRTH is Radio Mayabeque, but seems to be a
full-service station; programaci?n link at http://www.radioguines.icrt.cu/ is
404, but they do have an English sexion.
How about Mexico? Here`s a fit in IRCA 2011 Log: XEHES Chihuahua, whose very
name is ``Rom?ntica``, 24 hours irregular, 5000/250 watts. In the NRC AM Log
2012, there are several SS US stations on 1040, but all talk, sports or
religion (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11485, Nov 21 at 1508, JBA carrier with trace of modulation, then
gone, worth further chex. Could be spur, as 11500 is the defacto bottom end of
the 25m band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 21473 approx., Nov 21 at 1358, some SSB ham is here, or rather
putting out a spur, since I can`t get it to demodulate no matter how I tune it;
nor could I find a matching source below 21450, but there must have been one
for him to carry on a contact on the fundamental. Hams are alert for intrusions
of broadcasters on 21450 or below, so here`s the reverse, but I`ll bet no one
cares. Too close for comfort to BBC 21470, altho its signal does not build up
here until 1400 site switch from Seychelles to doomed Cyprus, which is often
listenable despite southwardness (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BANGLADESH. 15105, Bangladesh Betar, *1227-1300*, Nov 21,
sign on with IS. Opening English announcements at 1230. English

some Spanish talk but mostly just a continuous wide variety of music
including Spanish inspirational music, some traditional religious
