** ALBANIA. 7475, Nov 8 at 0056, JBA carrier from presumed R. Tirana Albanian
hour. Wolfgang B?schel says English at 0230 was missing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** ALGERIA [non]. 7335, Nov 6 at 2244, Arabic speech at S6, i.e. RTA via FRANCE
this hour only in B-16 [date correct, overlooked in previous report] (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BIAFRA [non]. 15325, Nov 7 at 1931, no signal here from R. Biafra, reported
by Ivo after 1800 to have moved from 11600 via BULGARIA at 20-23 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5025, Nov 8 at 0049, R. Rebelde is off again, uncovering a JBA carrier
slightly low, presumably Quillabamba. Reb had been on this morning around
sunrise, and late last night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 6075, Nov 7 at 2317, RHC is missing again, altho I heard it
the previous evening, as presumed B-16 replacement for 9710. Now, 9710 is back
on and // 11760, as well as 9535 with CCI from algo (IBB Tibetan via Kuwait
and/or CNR1 jamming and/or CRI English via Kunming. The alleged Chinese hour
from MWV on 9535 is now re-scheduled to 22-23 instead).
At 0048 Nov 8 I cannot hear RHC on any 6, 9 or 11 MHz frequency, off, or
propagation wipeout? 5040 however is good in English at 0049, i.e. shifted
B-season time 00-01 instead of 23-24. By 0055, JBA carriers on 11760 and 11840,
RHC?
9710, Nov 8 at 0048, very poor signal, Spanish? In B-16, CRI is scheduled via
Kashgar, EAST TURKISTAN, Portuguese 00-01 & Spanish 01-03 to Americas, a very
good reason for RHC to quit 9710, but they have maintained a clash in the past,
Commies vs Commies. More anomalies:
9535, Nov 8 at 0109, RHC with Spanish news about FARC at S7, as well as on
9710, both undermodulated. Still no 6075. 6060 is on, but in English instead of
Spanish, instead of missing 6165, and also on 6000.
6060 is not supposed to switch to English until 0500, but it has occasionally
been caught Englishing well before then. By 0113, enough S2 signal from 11760
to match it to 9535. At 0136, 6060 is still in English but suptorted, and 6165
is still off. At 0418, 6075 is still off, so are they going to use it this B,
or not?
Thanks to bless?d Standard Time, I am now normally awake until about 0700 UT,
which is the yearound closedown time of RHC English. So Nov 8 at 0705: 6060 and
undermodulated 6165 are still on but switched to Spanish news, which is not
unusual for at least a few minutes (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 5980, Nov 8 at 0103, wall of noise jamming against nothing
but R. Chaski. After R. Mart? really starts 5980, Nov 8 at 0704, NO jamming is
audible against S9+20 from Greenville, while // 6030 is MUCH weaker and buried
by wall-of-noise (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GUAM. 15435, Monday Nov 7 at 2220, S4 signal but OOFSOB [one of few signals
on band], talk sounds Indonesish, but not exactly; mostly music after 2225, and
JBA by 2240. HFCC shows it`s KSDA, 255-degree beam in Sundanese at 2200-2230 on
Mon/Wed/Fri/Sat, other days in English, and 2230-2300 daily in real Indonesian
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 1600, Nov 7 circa 2000 UT on caradio, KUSH Cushing with network
news and talk shows, nothing local about the quake (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU [and non]. 5980, Nov 8 at 0103, wall-of-noise by Cuban jamming despite
R. Mart? never starting this frequency for six more hours! Nevertheless, I am
able to detect the R. Chaski carrier under this until autocutoff at 0104:12*,
which is 13.5 seconds later than two nights ago, averaging 6.75 per. [Previous
report corrected times to:]
5980, Nov 6 at 0018, JBA carrier from R. Chaski barely detectable against heavy
Cuban jamming against nothing else. 0057 still the same, but I do manage to
hear the Chaski autocutoff at 0103:58.5*, which is 46.5 seconds later than last
check one week ago, Oct 30 until 0103:12*, or averaging 6.6 seconds per, right
on the mark (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOMALILAND. 7120, Nov 8 at 1331, S6-S7 carrier but no modulation detectable
from presumed R. Hargeisa during English segment. Others report nearly-to-no
modulation from this, tsk2. Would be longpath now, and gone at 1412 recheck,
the one-hour break scheduled (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN SOUTH [non]. 13800, Nov 8 at 1325 and further chex the next hour,
near-imagination level trace of a JBA carrier, which could be Puntland Radio.
At *1427:57, much stronger but only S3-S5 carrier on, and 1429 announcement, no
doubt R. Tamazuj as scheduled via GERMANY. Nothing audible on // 15550 via
France. No improvement in following hour, but at 1503 it`s S6-S4 with echo,
maybe long/short path? Or two site overlap, as at 1500 it is scheduled to
switch to Madagascar. At 1506 a bit in English YL talking, soon back to Arabic;
1514 a song by a woman also seems like it`s in English; 1517 discussion in
Arabic. 1527 same signal now mentions Dabanga as transition to other PNW
service is starting, and by 1530 the Dabanga jingle. Recheck 1626 until off at
1627*. Madagascar is the site for the final sesquihour.
I am checking all this since John Cooper, PA, reported hearing Puntland on
13800, Nov 5 after 1430, with three definite IDs as ``Radio Somali``, which no
one else has reported before from Puntland Radio, and apparently unaware that
Tamazuj via Germany is also scheduled then on 13800. He remains positive about
Puntland despite my suggestion that it was really Tamazuj, and under poor
reception conditions ``Tam?zuk`` as it is pronounced, could be mistaken for
``Som?li``.
Puntland is also listed by WRTH as 10 kW on AM + USB. If one can get a
sufficient signal before 1428, Puntland should be lacking LSB, and if still
hearing 13800 after 1428, a station with both USB and LSB would be Nauen,
further confirmable by // 15550 if that is propagating. PNW is finished at
1627, but Puntland manager says his station stops at 1600. Surely it`s blasted
away anyway in NE Africa by co-channel PNW stations for those two hours (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Nov 7 at 2300, Voice of Turkey, English to North
America is NULL, nothing there. I keep checking every few minutes to 2327,
still nothing. Final recheck at 2350, NOW it`s on, very poor with flutter, and
barely make out a closing ID at 2352. This transmission keeps starting late,
tnx to the incompetent sloppyrators at Emiler, but never this late.
Very well could have left running a previous scheduled frequency, so what are
they? B-16 sked shows nothing right up until 2300, but only earlier
transmissions are: Turkish until 2200 on 6120 and 5980 to Europe (also USward);
English until 2230 on 9610. Those are the ones to check when 5960 be missing at
2300.
6080, Nov 8 at 0418, another try to hear the other VOT English to North
America: once again, very weak signal making a typical fast SAH with co-channel
VOA S?o Tom?. This is NOT working! Allegedly 500 kW at 310 degrees. 0400 is the
only English hour with a second frequency, 7240, 138 degrees for Asia,
unchecked yet, as if propagating so poorly toward us on 6 MHz, can hardly
expect anything on 7 MHz off the back.
In the doldrums of the solar cycle, coupled with normally low winter night
MUFs, the few stations still interested in evening SW broadcasts to North
America need to seriously consider taking out relays on NAm transmitters if
they really care about being heard. Romania is about the only one making it
directly, altho its signals are weakened too (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 5058.5-CW, Tue Nov 8 at 0106, WI2XJP experimental beacon from
Massachusetts is again audible with slow Morse repeating ID as previously
quoted; this time marred by splatter up to 5065 from 5050 WWRB with
anti-Semitic gospel huxter. But that should be gone again until resuming UT
Sunday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1850 monitoring: Not confirmed UT Tuesday November 8
at 0041 on WBCQ, 9330v-CUSB --- no signal. Could be on but not propagating, as
9265 WINB can`t do more than S3; yet 9475 WTWW at one third the distance still
manages S9+25. On average, being one hour later into the darkside at 2430
instead of 2330 six nights a week, WOR/WBCQ 9330 will propagate less well than
it had been. Also not confirmed UT Tuesday November 8 at 0057 check, the 0030
WOR on WRMI 7730, since that is definitely off the air! Next, maybe:
Tue 2130 WRMI 15770 to NE
Wed 0030 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
Wed 1415.5 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Wed 2200 WBCQ 7490v to WSW
Thu 0030 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5950, Nov 7 at 2252, pop music on strong S9+10 signal, much stronger
than WRMI ever manages here on 181-degree beam, but nothing else known,
presumably WRMI testing. Much stronger than 5985 with WRMIBS. B-16, 5950 is
registered available any time between 20 and 13 UT. Just after another tune
starts, cuts off at 2255*. Meanwhile I have other things to check, like Turkey
on 5960 and WEWN on 12050. When I get back to 5950 at 2259, it`s on again with
music, outro as ``Christian New Age Radio``, contact
[email protected] --- he didn`t spell Fred---: obvious website is
about a print publication, not a broadcast; a new one on me from WRMI, but
2259.5 classic WNYW-style ID, S9+10 and into YFR interval signal as sked at
2300. WRMI grid still shows 5950 as XMTR 14 at 181 degrees, starting at 2000
with BS, paired with daytime frequency 9455 which is always weak here too. From
strength, I suspect 5950 has been switched to a more northerly antenna, and bad
news for u
s trying to hear 5952.4 Bolivia, which now is just managing to het WRMI.
5985, Nov 7 at 2252 was on with WRMIBS as I compared it unfavorably to 5950,
supposedly on same southerly azimuth; but at 2313, 5985 is now off. Indeed the
skedgrid shows a break at 23-01 amid the 21-07 span.
7780, Nov 7 at 2314, this WRMI #3 is back on after missing yesterday along with
day frequency 15770 six hours earlier. But Now, the MIA one is #13, 7730, and
it`s still off by 0057 when WORLD OF RADIO would have aired. 7780 continues
with BS at 0057, S9+20. Perhaps WRMI is taking one transmitter after another
down for maintenance?
9955, WRMI has an updated program grid effective Nov 6 --- I don`t notice any
major changes and it remains presented in ET rather than UT. Yet it does not
account for the preacher in English I am hearing Monday Nov 7 at 2316 when
`Wavescan` is scheduled; vs some pulse jamming. By 0053 Nov 8, NO signal from
WRMI on 9955, off? Leaving some pulse jamming when Radio Libertad should be
playing.
5950, UT Tuesday November 8 at 0052, still amazing S9+30, with DX program in
Spanish, playing a Panam? song, mailbag, for it`s Antena DX from that country;
it also airs at 0030 UT Fri; other days of week on 5950, Frecuencia al D?a or
Wavescan. 0100 back to TOM at S9+40.
5850, Nov 8 at 0134, this WRMI is off! Still VG on 5765, and 5950 at S9+25,
which I am beginning to think has taken over the 315 antenna which 5850 was on.
5985 WRMI is only S7-S9, never very strong here. 5850 is still off at 0701,
while 5950 at S9+20 has switched from BS to World Music. That normally runs on
7730 Tue-Fri at 07-08. Corresponding day frequency of 5850 is 11565, and that
is on at 1625 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7490, UT Tue Nov 8 at 0058, WBCQ with plug for Family Policy
Alliance, S7-S9; 0102 `From the Isle of Music`, Cuban music and interview show,
has started at S9 to S9+20, but fading by 0115 to S4-S7. No other WBCQ
frequencies are on/audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 12050, Nov 7 at 2258, WEWN Spanish is back on at S9+20, minus the
spurs. They had turned it off this morning after I notified them of the
splatter. Hope it`s fixed for good (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. 1220, Nov 8 at 0121 UT, unusual to hear Spanish here,
looping E-W, or slightly clockwise from that. Spirited dialog in colloquial
Spanish I can hardly comprehend, but one guy is very excited and yelling as if
covering a game, mentions ``canasta``, so maybe it`s basketball. Bearing rules
out Mexico, but does refer to ``Rep?blica Mexicana`` so maybe originating
there. By nulling this I can also hear a real Mexican on 1220, XEB from the
south, since it`s a second ahead of // fellow IMER outlet 1570 XERF. UnID has
been dominant for a while, but losing out to CCI by 0130 UT.
Now searching for US SS stations on 1220 in NRC AM Log 2016-2017: Unless there
has been a recent format flip from something else, WAYE Birmingham AL, 1000/73
U1 looks like best bet, ``La Jefa``. There are others in CA, FL, IL, NC (2),
all of which are too far, off-azimuth, or wrong format such as religious. At
least perpetual cheater WSLM in Indiana is not being heard now (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Who is on 10mhz besides WWV and WWVH?
I have an older guy repeating the same phrase 3 times a minute, i can't
make out most of it, as it's under both WWV and WWVH.. but the word
"nacional" is under it, don't know if it was Spanish, Italian, Venezuelan
or whatever.
I can't tell wether or not there was a time signal accompanying the older
male voice.
I'm doing a quick look on Wiki and not finding a clear cut answer

It appears it is PPE Brazil. You can't make out the time pips but you can
clearly hear the males voice under WWV and WWVH.
