Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
** CUBA. 9710, Nov 16 at 0229, RHC is still here, so maybe the change to 6075
goes into effect tomorrow, if it`s still to be carried out from tentative B-15
schedule. See also IRAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 9490, Nov 16 at 0425, R. Rep?blica is still on much later
than scheduled, song in Spanish, 0426 capsule for mujeres; pulse jamming not
too severe now adding up to only S9, while propagation from Cuba is still VG,
witness CRI relay blasting on 9790. R.R. is HFCC-registered as 00-01 & 01-02 &
02-03 only, 150 kW, 285 degrees via Issoudun, FRANCE. So what is its true span,
variable? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. 7325, Nov 16 at 0336, V. of Justice, S9+15 but hardly solid,
American-accented news about terrorism in France. Is this English hour from
0320 totally distinct from the others, plain old Voice of the Islamic Republic
of Iran, and not with American accents? // 9710 is totally blocked by RHC
Spanish, S9+30; by 0408 Cuba down to S7 and can hear something under, and it`s
still on past Iran`s finish at 0420. RHC is supposedly moving 9710 to 6075,
from tomorrow? But even if it`s clear, 9710 from Sirjan will likely not be
propagating as well as 7325 from Kamalabad, both 500 kW and almost same
azimuths.
9550, Nov 16 at 0424, S5 signal with Iran NA, brief announcement, Qur`an,
standard opening format, as this is starting a Turkish sesquihour from
Kamalabad (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [non]. 5985, Nov 16 at 0404, NHK in Spanish via WRMI, fair but with
CCI, which must be AWR Turkish via AUSTRIA, scheduled simultaneously despite
close relationship between RMI, AWR and HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 610, UT Monday Nov 16 at 0411, `La Hora Nacional` about some lake in
Michoac?n; quick MW bandscan on N/S antenna wire finds this is the best `LHN`
outlet, no doubt XEBX in Sabinas, Coahuila. Second best is 770, but not //,
probably XEACH Monterrey NL. Another, 1060.04 at 0416, i.e. XERDO Tamaulipas
(atop XEEP DF). And on 1320 at 0419, `LHN` is likely XECPN Piedras Negras,
Coahuila, but no 100 watts! As for major stations, forget it, nothing readable
in Spanish on 540, 730, 800, 900, 940, 990, 1050, 1140, 1220 or even 1570 ---
station in English atop XERF (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 709.90 approx., Nov 16 at 0358, Spanish music making het to 710
stations, no doubt XEDP, Ciudad Cuauht?moc, Chihuahua, running its
off-frequency transmitter site tonight; yes, at 0359 so sung-IDing, ``XEDP, La
Ranchera de Cuauht?moc``. Separable and readable with LSB, narrow bandwidth and
passband tuning boost on the NRD-545 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1210, Nov 16 at 0351 UT, nothing but hum from east/west, obviously
KGYN Guymon; wiggle that patchcord! Still same at 0418 UT check, while on the
N/S antenna something musical presumably RGV (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** SOMALILAND. 7120, Nov 16 at 0330, S9+15 open carrier. Traces of modulation
at imagination level, maybe just QRhaM, and can`t tell any difference between
LSB and USB. Still same at 0335, 0343, and weakening at 0402 by when I was
hoping Radio Hargeisa would surely be modulating normally (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 9510.0, Nov 16 at 0340, S8 conversation in presumed Somali,
into pop music, as this is listed as VOA Somali via VATICAN, violating
Separation of Church & State, at 0330-0400.
11750.0, Nov 16 at 0345, very good S9+15 signal and VG modulation too, mentions
``Somali``; in fact it`s the SSOB, exceeding Brasil`s S7 on 11780.1. HFCC shows
at 0330-0400 this is also VOA Somali, 100 kW, 350 degrees from BOTSWANA, which
is off-beam for Somalia, but better for us. Are their antennas more toward
Somalia tied up with something else? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1799 monitoring: confirmed Saturday Nov 14
after 1530 on Hamburger Lokalradio, G?hren, 7265-CUSB, via UTwente SDR, quite
sufficient, with CRI Hindi somewhat audible underneath; seems relativity of
these two varies greatly week to week.
Also confirmed UT Sunday Nov 15 at 0429 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, finishing item on
Germany, DW schedule, which is :11 minutes into program so started circa 0418.
Also confirmed UT Monday Nov 16 from 0400:53 on Area 51 via WBCQ 5109.7-CUSB.
And UT Monday Nov 16 from 0430:09 on WRMI 9955, very poor S7, much weaker than
WRMI 9395. Following ID by Allen Graham. Next:
Tue 1200 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Wed 1415.5 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Wed 2200 WBCQ 7490v to WSW
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5109.7-CUSB, Nov 16 at 0329, Area 51 via WBCQ is amid a Jean Shepherd
show, stream-of-consciousness about ``The Dogs of Elsinore``. This appears
alternate UT Mondays at 0300-0345, then fill music until 0400 WOR (my WOR, not
his) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5980, Nov 16 at 0404, the WWCR 5890/5935 leapfrog another 45 kHz
higher attains S9 as the fundamentals are still very strong, mostly audio from
5890 some non-BS gospel huxter, but 5935`s dead Gene Scott also audible. On
reverse leap, 5845, only a very poor carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 1080, Nov 16 at 0354 UT, heavy CCI to KRLD Dallas mentions ``105`` so
no doubt it`s again the cheatin` 10 kW ``daytimer``, KSLL Price UT which has a
104.9 translator as previously discussed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1100, Nov 16 at 0352 UT, ``In defense of liberty, NewsRadio 1100,
KNZZ`` Grand Junxion CO, somewhat atop WTAM Cleveland, roughly equal on
average, so again/still on 50 kW day pattern. Their idea of defending liberty
is propagating nothing but one far-right-extremist wacko talkhost after
another: on weekdays, Bennett, Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity, Levin, Savage and the
Redeyes. More variety on weekends, including Armed American Radio (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN [and non]. 6185, Nov 16 at 0318, VR in Armenian, fair, and no sign
of XEPPM in Spanish, off? 0310-0330 is normally the only time now it has to
cope with CCI. However, at 0402 there is an S9 carrier, little if any
modulation, but if that`s R. Educaci?n it was not hetting VR earlier. BTW, did
you know that RRI ``MKI``, Manokwari, Indonesia has a 1 kW transmitter on 6185
in English! at 01-05 & 07-10? That`s what HFCC would have us believe (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 5984.0, Nov 16 at 0325, just heard a few ditdahs of CW ending
with K, and a reply(?) weaker, but no DE ID copied. Intruding, but WRMI isn`t
on 5985 until 0400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [non]. 11855, Nov 16 at 0715, fair signal in Chinese, but unsounds
Mandarin, so Cantonese? No, scheduled as (Mandarin) Chinese from CRI via
ALBANIA at 310 degrees right toward us, but at this wee hour, presumably
intended only for NW Europe; het from R. Aparecida, BRAZIL, off-frequency circa
11856.2 getting creamed by this at 07-09 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. Morning of Nov 16, RHC is finally implementing the B-15 frequency
changes, from tentative schedule as in DXLD 15-43.
At 1421 bandscan Nov 16, RHC Spanish found on: 9550, 9640, 9710, 9820, 11760,
15370, 17580, 17730, 17750. NOT found any longer on 11860, 11950, 13740, 15730.
New ones are: 9710, 17580, 17730 and 17750.
At 1504 and 1525 chex, of the on-ones above, these are now off: 17580, 9710,
9550. 16m is new in the mornings: 17730 is very good, 17580 good, and 17750
fair with hum. The single frequency scheduled to stay on midday is now 11760 at
12-19.
Watch out for 11670 to replace 11760 at 1900 in Arabic, 1930 in Creole, 2000 in
English, 2100-2130 in French, aimed, where else? CHICAGO! And blocking access
to All India Radio all across North America (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** JAPAN. 9760, Nov 16 at 0711 tune-in, immediate ID in American English, ``No
matter where you are, this is RN2``, and into a song, fair signal. I.e. JOZ7,
Radio Nikkei 2, which is nominally in Japanese, per Aoki at 23-08, 50 kW, 50
degrees from Chiba-Nagara, suitable for North America. By this time after 4 pm
JST, JOZ6, 6115 is also audiblizing, same power and beam (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. RF 2, Nov 16 at 1648 UT, my long-hours monitoring for sporadic E
openings pays off again, way off-season, with signs of NTSC video. By 1653 I
see a full-screen INFO 7 ID, so it`s XHTAU, Tampico, Tamaulipas; 1654 ad for
SEARS (``say-ARSE``, but no audio MUF yet). 6m Es map now shows two contacts:
TX to IN, and shortly, XE2 northern Mexico to Indiana (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9955, Nov 16 at 0713, Brother Scare via WRMI is inbooming, contrary
to 3.5 hours earlier when 9955 was very poor S7. Makes one wonder if 9955
really stays on the 160 degree beam at all times, but maybe just a
propagational fluke. Some other late nights, it`s almost inaudible (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11670, Nov 16 at 1937, RHC confirmed on new frequency`s first day for
Chicago service in Creole, very good signal leaving no chance to hear All India
Radio. Tnx a lot, Arnie! who had no good reason to move from 11760 where there
is nothing else to be heard. Still on 11670 ex-11760 during the English hour at
2033 check. The full span of afternoon 11670 usage is 1900-2130 in Arabic,
Creole, English, French.
15370, Nov 16 at 2034, RHC Arabic is now here, ex-17730, very good, but this
one axually aimed northeastward toward Arabisha.
6075, Nov 17 at 0131, RHC Spanish on another new frequency from tonight,
ex-9710, and // 6060, so close, almost bookending poor CFRX 6070 Toronto, with
adjacent splash. The Dentro Cuban Jamming Command didn`t get the message to
clean up their spurs around 6080, pulsing also audible QRMing RHC itself!

** EAST TURKISTAN. 9710, Nov 17 at 0135, some songs seem to have a slightly
sacred sound in unknown language, fair S8 signal now that RHC has evacuated to
6075. O, it`s only CRI Spanish, so surely secular, finally IDing at 0143, 500
kW, 294 degrees at 01-03 via Kashgar (also Portuguese at 00-01) (Glenn Hausser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6952.62-AM, Nov 17 at 0155, pirate music, lyric includes
``rock `n` roll``, very poor S4. Others weren`t hearing much better, but the
operator Synthetik Mayham [sic] had tipped on hfunderground:
``Radio After Dark 6952.5 AM 01:37 UTC ? on: Today at 01:40 ? [sic:] Currently
running a show at 6952.5 I apologies I have not designed qsl cards yet or made
and jingle intros strictly music stay tuned in the near future for sstv / qsl
cards All audio samples appreciated and station reports to
Canadianradioafterdark at gmail dot com
Appreciate the welcome thanks yes new broadcaster testing various antenna
configurations and xtmr designs see best results but I agree band conditions
have been Piss poor on all band lately 40m has been ok ssb with some power but
that's about it But thanks for the welcome I operate mostly covert portable atm
Smiley 35w carrier atm And broadcast concluded at 0404 thanks for listening for
those who could`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 11520, Nov 16 at 1936 on the G8 by a restaurant`s
east-facing window, what`s this? Sound like that harsh fellow Alex Jones mixing
with something weaker. Never heard on this frequency via bigger receivers, but
same as on 12160 WWCR; with one radio I can`t tell if they match exactly. So
it`s probably a mixing product: yes, the other WWCR frequency, super-strong
9980, plus local 1640 KZLS The Eagle, which does have Alex Jones on at 17-20 UT
= 11520, so external mixing around here, or the G8 internally overloaded. KZLS
doesn`t usually get involved with SW stations (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, Nov 17 at 0110, JBA carriers from R. Chaski and BBC/UAE, until
the stronger one, Chaski, autocutsoff at 0111:06.5* which is 15.5 seconds later
than last check Nov 14 until 0110:51*, or averaging 5.17 seconds later per
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 9690, Nov 16 at 2032, REE is still AWOL from their North American
frequency, which this late should be propagating, perhaps better than the ones
which are JBA carriers, 11530, 15390, 15500. I guess their NAm transmitter is
out of order (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15825, Nov 16 at 2005 on BST-1 caradio, happen to tune to a memory I
can`t read but presumably this, as WWCR is concluding a 5-minute program with a
website kanaan.com [spelt], which presumably pertains to `God Lives and Works
Today`, and making an announcement that effective immediately, 5070 is replaced
by 9350 at 5-7 pm Central Time, or 22-24 UT!
At first I thought it must be an outdated screwup since that would pertain to
CDT, not CST, but uplooked later, I see that WWCR transmitter schedules have
been updated this very day November 16, to eliminate 5070, and extend 9350
really to 23-01 UT on WWCR-2. What was wrong with 5070? Certainly always very
strong here, and less likely to fade into the dusk/night than a 9 MHz
frequency. BTW, current sked supposedly expires March 21, 2016, which is 8 days
after DST resumes on March 13, and 6 days before A-16 begins on March 27, right
in the middle of the biweek of confusion, so what`s with that? More anomalies
not only about timezones but significant dates (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
