** OKLAHOMA. 627-640-653 kHz, Nov 6 at 2216 UT on the caradio, I can`t help but
notice that KWPN Moore OK is emitting IBOC noise, which can even be heard when
tuned to 660 KSKY. In random tuning, I had not heard any such for weeks/months,
and so recently advised Barry McLarnon that IBOC was gone from this outsender.
At least I do never hear it at night, and certainly irregular in the daytime
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Enid has a new LPFM on the air. We knew it was coming, but just
encountered it Nov 6 at 2213 UT on 99.9 MHz. We were bandscanning in a west
side of Enid parking lot, and found a new localish stereo signal, yet not fully
quieting. It may have been on the air for some time, as we haven`t trolled the
entire FM band for a couple of weeks. There has been absolutely nothing about
it in the local Enid Eagle newspaper, for which radio media are non-existent.
It`s playing soft gospel music, rather pleasant, axually, especially when
instrumental. We hope it stix to that rather than gospel rock, rantin` & ravin`.
2218 UT ID by child, ``This is KVBN``. 2241 UT automated timecheck for 4:40
plus temperature, and humidity! That`s unusual. At 2300 UT, here it comes, the
legal ID by an adult voice: ``KVBN-LP, Enid, a ministry of Victory Bible Church
at Twentieth and Elm``, back to soft gospel music. It so happens we are driving
by that intersexion a couple hours later, and take a few shots of the building
on the NW corner; the closest thing to an antenna is a flagpole? tilting about
25 degrees.
http://www.w4uvh.net/KVBNhq.jpg
Then checking the FCC database, we see KVBN is supposedly only a CP, so it may
be only on PTA. Furthermore, the coverage map shows centered not at this church
location on the east side of Enid, but more centrally on US 81 north between
Chestnut and Willow ---

Hey, that`s where another gospel huxter LPFM resides, KLGB, 94.3, which has a
one-element vertical antenna hanging off a self-supporting tower, the last we
noticed. KVBN is authorized 100 watts, horizontal only at 27 meters above
ground. Then we find that the co?rdinates in FCC and in the WTFDA database are
identical for KVBN and KLGB! (BTW, WTFDA`s last two digits are not decimal but
really signify seconds, altho run together with minutes).
BTW2, there`s no listing for Victory --- anything in the white pages of the
Yellow Book, and there are so many categories under Churches in the yellow
pages, that we despair of ever finding it, as it`s not among the ``Bible``
churches (as if any of them were not, whether named that or not).
Anyhow, there goes another good DX frequency. It`s the *only* Okie on 99.9, vs
100 kW in Fort Smith AR just across the border, and a couple Kansans in Salina
and Leoti, so 99.9 was certainly a justified ``clear`` frequency pick under the
LPFM rules.
Meanwhile, another pending LPFM CP in Enid, WRML-LP (Yes! Still listed with a
W-call as if in Ohio), is yet to appear on 100.9. We look forward to it as
supposed to be a real `community` station rather than yet another gospel huxter
(Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 88.1 & 103.5, Nov 6 at 2225 UT on my caradio FM bandscan in the
Walmart parking lot (I did *not* go in!), during which I discovered KVBN-LP
activated on 99.9, I also find strong dead air carriers on 88.3 and 103.5. A
couple minutes later they both start to recede just as vehicles parked next to
me pull out. There ought to be a law that RF feeders in cars have to ID with
the VIN or at least the tag alfanumber! (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1746 monitoring: confirmed two more new times thanks
to Global 24 via WRMI, 9395: 2200 UT Thursday Nov 6, and 0030 UT Friday Nov 7
--- both checked briefly later in the semihours on the portable G8 as I was
otherwise busy and had heard it before.
More no-shows at WWRB: Supposedly 0430 UT Friday on 3185. By 0417 I find the
previous preacher on 3185, and he just keeps going until dumped off the air
abruptly at 0444*. Webcast which ordinarily would correspond with that
transmitter instead is running KJV Bibling. And 5050 is on with much stronger
BS signal. Next WOR: Friday 2130 on WRMI 7570 & 15770, etc., etc. (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5085, Nov 7 at 0417, WTWW-2 is still down, forcing us to tune down to
5050 for BS, among countless others (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 531 & 549 kHz, Nov 7 at 0145 UT on the caradio I have JBA 1 kHz
hets on 530 Vance/Cuba, and 550 KTRS/KTSA or whatever, making me strongly
suspect they are TA carriers from the 600 kW Algerian behemoths.
No other 1 kHz hets found upward the band, not even upon 1520 KOKC. At first
upon 530 I wondered if the LYQ 529 A2 beacon at WWRB TN was back on again, but
no way to tell which side of 530 on that radio, and couldn`t detect them once I
got home (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
** ALBANIA [and non]. 11785, Nov 7 at 0704, CRI English news with axualities,
fair signal but splash from 11780 Brasil. It is now *far* easier to log Albania
via numerous China relays from C?rrik Site with much better-maintained
equipment than R. Tirana itself with one transmitter and antenna operational at
Shijak. This CRI is 0700-0900 at 310 degrees for UK, but also USward, same
azimuth as R. Tirana uses.
11855, Nov 7 at 0706, Chinese, fair with fast SAH. This too is CRI via Albania,
same 150 kW parameters as 11785. The SAH no doubt denotes that 24-hour R.
Aparecida, Brasil, has managed to come quite close to the nominal frequency
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11745 & 11815, Nov 7 at 0704, still scratchy distorted spurs audible
from much stronger 11780 RNA. BTW, 11815 would interfere with another Brasilian
station, R?dio Brasil Central, altho I don`t detect it on the air in the
nightmiddle (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. CNR1 jammers morning of Nov 7:
12910, Nov 7 at 1348, CNR1 jammer, good with flutter
12870, Nov 7 at 1349, CNR1 jammer, very poor and not synchronized with 12910;
none in the 13s, 14s
15265, Nov 7 at 1351, CNR1 jammer, with het from off-frequency Taiwan, // 12910
15375, Nov 7 at 1352, CNR1 jammer, fair with flutter, about 2 seconds ahead of
12910; none in the 16s
11100, Nov 7 at 1355, CNR1 jammer, very good with flutter, until 1400* after
timesignal; none in the 10s, but some in the 11.6`s unlogged
9150, Nov 7 at 1357, CNR1 jammer, fair, not synch with 11100
9230, Nov 7 at 1358, CNR1 jammer, very poor
9320, Nov 7 at 1358, CNR1 jammer, poor, not synchronized with others
9200, Nov 7 at 1442, CNR1 jammer, very good; the above 9`s off now
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 17730, Nov 7 at 1342, RHC Spanish with rumble on carrier in AM mode,
and slightly wobbling in BFO mode; // 17580 by comparison is not doing this
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 17625, Nov 7 at 1346, BSKSA is finally back in whack with
normal non-distorted and on-frequency AM signal in Qur`an, // slightly stronger
17615; after having been a blob circa 17628 for a biweek since October 25. Why
didn`t they just take it off the air until they could fix it?? Like Cairo, they
have no shame? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7588.5-USB, Fri Nov 7 at 1433, QSO discussing error rates, latency;
abbreviated calls heard, uttered fonetikaly, are THN, TXX, TXL, A6J. 1438-1440
sends something in digital mode; 1440 back to speech. 1447 refers to west Texas
and New Mexico; At 1458, 6JN, while TXL seems to be the NCS, but TXX announces
close-down at 1500* and nothing further heard. They had been referring to each
other as ``sir``, implying they are officers, not merely enlisted? I have one
previous log on this frequency:
``7588.5-USB, Tue Dec 10 [2013] at 1508-1518+, MARS net discussing methods for
scanning documents, with abbr`d callsigns 6VF, 6IS, 6TV and 6GE, who seems to
be in charge. Per my previous log Nov 5 at 1353 on 5202-USB, when I also heard
6TV, these are Texas US Army MARS with calls really starting AAR6- (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST 13-50)``
Latest 7588.5 log in UDXF yg is also from last year: ``7588.5 AAR6IN & other US
Army MARS stations conducting long-haul tests here, on 9303.5 & 8066.0: ~ 1900
UTC in USB voice (10/AUG/2013) (Jack L. Metcalfe - Stanford, KY)`` Several
earlier UDXF logs on this frequency referred to the US Army Reserve Command.
Current googling leads to Texas Army MARS, including AAR6JN; and today`s net
concerning training and traffic starting at 0801 CST had frequency M137 as
primary, M116 as alternate, with nominal NCS AAM6TXG, a call I did not hear.
One can find a lot of info but not everything without being able to log in, at:
https://www.txarmymars.org/index.php
Initially there was het from a weak AM broadcast on 7590, which per Aoki was N
Korea Reform Radio at 1430-1530, via Uzbekistan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 17790, Nov 7 at 1345* good open carrier goes off; no doubt WRMI
tuning up for the 1400 R. Africa Network broadcast toward, rather than from,
Equatorial Guinea (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9395, Nov 7 at 1444, fair signal from Global 24 via WRMI now with
jazz. No hour by hour program schedule for today can be found on their website
or Facebook, but this:
November 8th UT --- The Rendez-Vous from Berlin will be airing tonight
0100-0300 and again 0800-1000. The Rock Pile will air at 1000-1230 UT. The
final 30 minutes of the Rock Pile include our Berlin special. Be sure to get
our special QSL. See more at:
http://about.global24radio.com/special-berlin-wall-qsls-available-weekend/
Global 24 is pleased to announce a special QSL card remembering the fall of the
Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989. Global 24 will be broadcasting several special
programs throughout the weekend about the tumultuous events in Berlin. Our
special QSL card will be available for confirmed reception reports from
November 6 through November 10``
So World of Radio will not be appearing this Saturday at 1000+ UT like it did
last Saturday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6165, Nov 8 at 0053, RHC in Spanish `Mesa Redonda` extra show not //
6070 et al., as now scheduled 00-01 // 11950 (unchecked) UT Tue-Sat only.
Expect 6165 to switch to English at 0100 as alleged in old and new schedules,
but at 0120 I notice it`s off, and still off at 0149, leaving only 6000 for
English during this hour, which at 0120 was interviewing a guest from Suriname.
5040 alone now has English at 00-01 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 12035, Nov 8 at 0105, R. Cairo Spanish is only humwhine on good
signal level
12080, Nov 8 at 0105, very poor carrier with flutter, can be Cairo?
9965, Nov 8 at 0106, humwhine and Arabic, sufficient modulation, fair with
flutter
9860, Nov 8 at 0108, R. Cairo, good with flutter, undermodulated Spanish but
not too distorted (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 9935, Nov 8 at 0056, Greek music and talk at the same time, but
mixed that way rather than CCI, as better heard at 9420 //. Now 9935 doesn`t
have to worry about ACI blasts from 9930 WTWW which is off with no BS to
purvey; see U S A (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA SOUTH [non]. 9605, Nov 8 at 0107, KBS World Radio in Spanish via WHRI
at 01-02 remains here in B-14, and VG signal, but I have boycotted reporting it
in resentment for their failure to employ such a relay in English *so we can
hear it in North America!* Now there is something to say about it: this WHRI
transmitter is squealing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6935-USB, Nov 8 at 0101, pirate music, ``hard country``; 0130
still going; 0142 ID amid music I think is XLR8 but not clear; 0155, really
jammin` now with soul song, and yes, 0157 XLR8 ID. During this semihour there
have been two other pirates, on 6925 and 6920, qq. vv. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6925-USB, Nov 8 at 0136, pirate music until 0139 when YL
abruptly says something is ``on the porch`` and music stops and/or off. 0143
check it`s back on and stronger now exceeding 6935 XLR8, with music, really
jammin`. 0152 same thing happens again with ``on the porch`` and silence past
my quittage at 0157. This thread
http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,19280.0.html
has it as Big Dawg Radio, specifically per LighthouseOhio:
http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,19280.msg68231.html#msg68231
``Must be Big Dog Radio - half way through "JET" op said something about a big
dog, and best if you stay on the porch. After the song said the same thing -
then off the air?`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6920-AM, Nov 8 at 0140 a third but much weaker pirate has
appeared along with 6925-USB and 6935-USB. Seems to be talking about pirate
radio and with a pirateradio-algo @ gmail? .com address. At 0157 as I am
QRTing, is making feedback and other noises but just too weak. Many heard it in
this thread with much better signal, north and east of here, as Pirate Radio
Boston:
http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,19282.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1460, Nov 7 at 2039 UT on caradio, KZUE El Reno is still plugged
into a Mexican network, ID only as XERFR-FM, 103.1, and later as ``Radio
F?rmula, Cadena Nacional`` or rather internacional, including Mexican
commercials probably inapplicable in Oclajoma. Not sure how much of KZUE`s
schedule is thus, and whether they do any local commercial cutaways (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OMAN. 11650, Nov 8 at 0148, Qur`an, good with flutter and nothing on 9500. I
wonder if R. Sultanate of Oman is now here intentionally in B-14 rather than by
mistake (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980+, Nov 8 at 0051, JBA carrier, presumed R. Chaski, slightly on hi
side. Again too much ACI from 5985 WRMI BS and CCI from BBC/UAE to try to track
Chaski`s cutoff after 0100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SRI LANKA. 11905, Nov 8 at 0114:10 tune-in JBA carrier, 0114:14 ramping up
to strong signal so at first may have been only exciter, and the inevitable
trans-polar flutter; musical pr?lude from 0114:46 but NO mistimesignal as
expected around 0115:19, instead a pause and then SLBC sign-on announcements
and into a S Asian song. So their clock is still slow even without a formal
MTS. If they can`t set it accurately, suppressing it is the proper course of
action (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15580, Friday Nov 7 at 2119, I am surprised to hear hyper hostess
Heather Maxwell with `Music Time in Africa` on VOA and with a VG signal. That
means this hour is currently via Greenville, putting out its usual off-the-back
big sig to central America. Surprised, because that show is normally on
Saturdays & Sundays at 21-22 UT, with other VOA Music Mix shows on weekdays,
genre by genre. Song now is about Ebola, outroed at 2121 as ``Africa, Stop
Ebola``. 2129 break for some mailbag responses; 2159 outro she gives times at
0900 and 2100 on certain days, but not 2100 Friday! Master Control played the
wrong file? Right into sign-off with Yankee Doodle Dandy.
Here`s the show page, where of course there is no info at all about its
scheduling:
http://www.voanews.com/archive/music-time-in-africa/latest/672/1456.html
Currently has linx to Nov 2 and Nov 1 shows, with identical generic content
stuff, but buttons for Listen, Playlist, Download. So I hit Playlist for Nov 2
to see if that`s the one with the Ebola song, and what do I get? No playlist,
just a flash audio player. So I play it, and there it is at 19:35 into file, a
multilingual collaboration.
HFCC confirms in B-14 at 21-22 only, 15580 is GB at 94 degrees; previous hour
at 20-21 now via Vatican, violating separation of church and state, and before
that all the way back to 1400, either Botswana or S?o Tom?, all-English.
Here`s current complete! schedule of all that`s left of VOA English:

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1746 monitoring: confirmed Friday Nov 7 at 2130:32 on
WRMI, 7570 & 15770. This airing, not being on 9955, has not made a DST unshift,
remains at same UT as before; always starts a semi-minute late after: 2129:30
WRMI ID by Rudy Espinal; 2130:00 fill music where one might have expected a
WRMI ID by gh like precedes WOR broadcasts elsewhen (and nowhen else that I
know of).
Perhaps WOR will show at some unexpected new time this weekend on 9395, Global
24: check their website and Facebook in case advance programming plans appear.
Otherwise:
Sat 0730 & 1530 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB
UT Sun 0231 on KVOH 9975
Sun 1000 on WRMI 5850
Sun 2300 on WRMI 11580
UT Mon 0400v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB; usw

** U S A. Checking the WWRB website, http://www.wwrb.org I find the usual hype
about its superior facilities, including five ``fully operational``
transmitters of 100 or 150 kW, even tho we never hear more than two on the air
at any one time. And the program schedules along with linx to them have been
removed! They were very out of date but the one for 3185 did show some of the
shows really aired, including World of Radio, Thursdays at 11:30 pm ET, but
which has failed to appear unscathed or at all, the past several weeks (Glenn
Hauser, OK, Nov 8, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5085 & 9930, Nov 8 at 0056, WTWW-2 is still gone from both night and
day frequencies as it has been all week. That means no Brother Scare, who has
pulled out of WTWW, which must be a major financial hit, altho as an (almost)
full-time client he would have been getting a considerable discount. So #2
transmitter may be off because of that rather than a breakdown (or both, which
cause and which effect? He could hardly have been happy with all the
interruptions, hours of dead air, or pre-emptions under `normal`
circumstances). Previously, if #2 was down, Ted would sometimes put BS on #3,
12105. Now at 0109 check, 12105 is on the air but with Russian Bibling, having
shifted an hour later than in A-season, and 9475 is still on with SFAW/PPPP.
We`ll see if Ted can or does turn on #2 for his own music shows Saturday and
Sunday evenings (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5110-CUSB, Nov 8 at 0057, WBCQ, The Planet IS and ID playing here
prior to `Allan Weiner Worldwide` now at unshifted time of 0100-0200+ UT
Saturdays. On 7490 someshow is already running and delayed about 28 seconds on
// 9330. Host thinks it`s ``Sunday evening``, so unanticipated a playback now.
Sked shows it`s Fred Flintstone. Nothing audible on possible fourth frequency
15420.
At 0100, however, I hear no ``William Tell Overture`` theme to AWWW, but some
other music which keeps playing for a while as I am checking Global 24, Cairo,
pirates, KBS. 0111 I get back to 7490 and now AWWW is underway discussing the
elexion, notes that competitor Global 24 is carrying `Democracy Now` but ``the
far left drives you bananas``. Retune 7490 at 0122 as AW is telling a caller
that a backup transmitter is in use, about 2 dB down from the main, but
sufficient; missed which frequency this was about!
This time the three WBCQ channels are all out of synch with each other: first
7490, then 5110, then 9330 (which is strongest by far) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9395, Nov 8 at 0059, WRMI has a commercial from ``a Global 24
sponsor``, Connectorzone.com for shortwave accessories, 0100 news headlines
from EuroNet News and 0102 into heralded 2-hour `Rendezvous` special from same,
celebrating the fall of the Berlin Wall; says it`s coming live from Brandenburg
Gate (where it`s 2 am, really? Maybe they are celebrating all-night in Berlin).
Show alternates classic tunes with talk segments, interviews, etc., about the
occasion. 0113 ``Revolution`` song. A special QSL is being offered this
weekend, and more Berlin-wall anniversary shows are expected.
BTW, Ed Insinger says 9395 aired Media Network Plus at 0000-0030 Nov 8
including my propagation report at 0026.
Signal is only fair to start and degrades as the hour goes on. I can`t help but
notice at 0129 that BS is still blasting in on both higher and lower bands,
11825 and 7570, from same Okeechobee site but on 315-degree antennas. What a
pity G24 can`t use one of those facilities, or some other 7 MHz frequency on NW
antenna. That would broadly cover North America much better, but Europe not so
well (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7455, Nov 8 at 0117 bigsig, TruNews on WRMI is instead open
carrier/dead air, but makes it easier to enjoy the RTTY; // 5850 and weakest
5015 are OK, not dead. Recheck 0134, still DA on 7455 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 6115, Nov 8 at 0119, WWCR still on an hour later now until 0200,
unfortunately, not yet on 3215; bit of blues music, then commercial for a handy
``pandemic kit`` with eight items to fight off the viri, yeah right (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7505.3, Nov 8 at 0124, no WRNO yet, presumably unshifted now to
~0200-0500 UT schedule, altho as always in HFCC B-14 it`s registered for 22-16
UT, and on still imaginary 15590 at 16-22 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
