** BRAZIL. 11745 & 11815, Nov 17 at 0655, distorted music spurs from 11780+ RNA are JBA, while they should be totally inaudible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6000, Nov 17 at 0704, RHC is still on here but Spanish instead of English – until chopoff at 0704.5*. Now no other RHC frequencies are on, not even 5040 which Arnie said would stay until 0800 with a late hour of Spanish. 11950, Nov 17 at 1435, RHC is still on rather than 1400* as in Arnie`s new schedule. BTW, as of today, Aoki and EiBi miss this broadcast completely (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** EGYPT. 9905, Nov 17 at 0657, ME music overmodulated & distorted from R. Cairo to North America, just before closing time. Like ex-13850, this will range all the way from dead air to JBM to this (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GERMANY. 9730-9735-9740, Nov 17 at 0658 past 0702, DRM noise at good signal level; could have been the #1 DRM station now, ROMANIA, but not scheduled here, nor is anything in HFCC. Therefore it is presumably the secret, encrypted, unregistered Radio Andernach of the Bundeswehr. Also unknown to Aoki, and even to EiBi, but he does have the Xmas-eve special for mariners on 9735 and many others, presumably not DRM: 702 1900-2100 24Dec D NDR Gruß an Bord D CEu fl 702 2100-2300 24Dec D NDR Gruß an Bord D CEu fl 792 1900-2100 24Dec D NDR Gruß an Bord D CEu li 792 2100-2300 24Dec D NDR Gruß an Bord D CEu li 828 1900-2100 24Dec D NDR Gruß an Bord D CEu he 828 2100-2300 24Dec D NDR Gruß an Bord D CEu he 972 1900-2100 24Dec D NDR Gruß an Bord D CEu hh 972 2100-2300 24Dec D NDR Gruß an Bord D CEu hh 9850 1900-2100 24Dec D NDR Gruß an Bord D NAO n 11720 1900-2100 24Dec D NDR Gruß an Bord D SAf 11840 1900-2100 24Dec D NDR Gruß an Bord D SAO /F 11840 1900-2100 24Dec D NDR Gruß an Bord D EAf n 11965 1900-2100 24Dec D NDR Gruß an Bord D AUS /AUT 13780 1900-2100 24Dec D NDR Gruß an Bord D WAf /F 7335 2100-2300 24Dec D NDR Gruß an Bord D NAO n 9490 2100-2300 24Dec D NDR Gruß an Bord D SAO /F 9490 2100-2300 24Dec D NDR Gruß an Bord D EAf n 9650 2100-2300 24Dec D NDR Gruß an Bord D AUS /AUT 9735 2100-2300 24Dec D NDR Gruß an Bord D SAf 11655 2100-2300 24Dec D NDR Gruß an Bord D WAf /F Note that no site is specified by a final letter for 9735 and 11720 only, to southern Africa.

More on it: http://www.timesofoman.com/News/42836/Article-LIVE-BLOG-Oman-44th-National-Day-celebrations Such anniversaries must be based on the Gregorian rather than Islamic calendar?! Red, white and green are the celebratory colours. 44 derives from the 1970 overthrow of Sultan Said bin Taimur by his son, who still rules as an absolute monarch, but that was on July 23. Nov 17 as National Day apparently derives from Qabooso`s birthdate, which per World Almanac was Nov 18, 1940 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non]. 15580, Sunday Nov 16 at 2059, big open carrier from VOA Greenville, forcing outro of `Music Time in Africa` underneath via VATICAN into barely audible status (still violating Separation of Church & State). VOA QRMing VOA --- sometimes they avoid such overlaps with DCI (drop carrier immediately) and CS (crash-starts), having warmed up on a nearby frequency instead. Why not now? Thus I can`t make out hyper Heather Maxwell`s closing announcement of the airtimes for `MTIA`. At 2100 as SMG goes off, GB switches on modulation for VOA News. Did she say both 20 and 21 UT on weekends? I go to website to listen to the flashed closing of the Nov 16 program: http://www.voanews.com/audio/2521994.html Yes, times she gives are: Fri 09, Sat & Sun 20 & 21 UT, closes with ``Stay safe, stay lovely``. So she still misses Fri 21, Sat 15! And isn`t it also at 09 on Sat & Sun? Is it really at 09 on Fri, or did she mix up am and pm? Someone please tell her about the real times confirmed by monitoring. The file is a full 60 minutes, so why am I hearing News on the hour at 21? Until :25 this week`s show is playing the ``Africa, Stop Ebola`` song again (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1747 monitoring: the Sunday Nov 16 2300 airing on WRMI, 11580, was instead dead air by 2303, so I e-mailed Okeechobee right away. Came back on sometime, as in progress at my next check 2326. Meanwhile, Jeff White replied, ``We were converting the computer from Atlantic Time to UTC`` --- OK, that would certainly be prudent. . . WOR 1747 confirmed on Area 51 webcast, UT Monday Nov 17 at 0400, and presumably WBCQ 5110v-CUSB which I didn`t get to check before 0430. Next: Monday 2201 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395 Tuesday 1200 on WRMI 9955 Wednesday 0401 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395 Wednesday 0730 & 1530 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB Wednesday 1415 on WRMI 9955 Wednesday 2200 on WBCQ 7490v Wednesday 2201 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. (9395), Sunday Nov 16 at 2025, Global 24 via WRMI with `Explorations`, discussion of string theory, multiple dimensions, etc. 2030 cuts off abruptly, as end of part 1, right back to part 2. Theoretical physicist Dr. Michio Kaku`s intellexual science show, attributed to the Pacifica Program Service. A later break went right back to show with guest, so no commercial inserted. Currently on the G24 schedule: Thursday 04-05 UT, Sunday 08-09 & 20-21 UT. I`m listening on the webcast, as I know 9395 will be insufficient in the daytime, unfortunately (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5085, Nov 17 at 0705, WTWW-2 is off again. Seems it will appear only sporadically with SFAW duplicate programming or Ted`s music, having driven off Brother Scare. 5830, Nov 17 at 0706, checking whether WTWW-1 is on, yes, but passé Pastor Pete Peters thinx he`s still on ``WWCR``! Having failed to prophesy the existence of WTWW. You know, most of the SFAW programming is old tapes of PPPP from a decade or so ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 4840, Nov 17 at 0707, WWCR is open carrier – dead air, again! For the third Monday morning in a row (that I have noticed; maybe a lot more before that). Current schedule shows the program failing to be aired at 0705-0730 is Real Radio with Jack Hibbs; 0730-0800 dispensable Unshackled; 08-11 UT Power Hower. Are they still paying for this airtime? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 1530, Nov 17 at 0714 UT, the dulcet tones of Brother Scare are detectable in the QRM, so he`s back/still on WCKY despite missing last night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report despatched at 1732 UT November 17 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
