** ANGOLA. 4949.7, November 26 at 0053, JBA carrier, so RNA is back after
missing a few nights. Thorsten Hallmann says it was also missing a few German
evenings, but audible again by 1800 November 25. Bruce in New York using a
remote in RSA was hearing the frequency November 25 at 1849. Then Bill Bingham
in RSA definitely had it from 2050 to 2130 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** ANGUILLA. 1610 kHz, November 26 at 0147, PMS is weak but not distorted,
unlike // 6090 which along with day frequency 11775 is always distorted now. //
5935 a slight reverb apart from WWCR is not distorted either, so that narrows
it down to a problem with The Valley SW transmitter. 1610 has some Spanish CCI,
presumably CHHA Toronto (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 680, November 26 at 0205 UT, quick weather break with temps plus and
minus 3, i.e. Celsius, i.e. Canada, i.e. CJOB Winnipeg. 50/50 kW U4 night
pattern supposedly goes only NNE (and day pattern only has a little tail to the
south). Before and after this I was getting 50/46 kW U1 CBW much stronger, q.v.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 990, November 26 at 0153 UT, CBW Manitoba with `As It Happens` I
really should listen to more, kicker story about an ad in Britain being banned
because it called for messing with bean cans whose sharp edges might cut kids.
(Meanwhile I hear co-city station CJOB 680, q.v.). After the news, at 0210-0216
UT, `The Current Review` has a very interesting interview with a linguist who
was advisor to an Amy Adams movie about aliens, deciphering their language.
That would be ``Arrival`` I`ve yet to view (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CANADA. 2598-USB, November 26 at 0054, S6 robot YL with marine weather in
English, mentions Newfoundland Standard Time. It`s MCTS Placentia, VCP via St
Lawrence, Nfld. site starting at 0048 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENIN DIGEST)
** CHINA. 11820, November 26 at 0056, S5 signal with song in Chinese, off at
0057*. HFCC shows it`s CRI, 500 kW, 200 degrees from Xi`an in Yue = Cantonese
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ERITREA. 7175, November 25 at 1412, JBA S6 signal with HoA music, no doubt
long-path VOBME moved again from 7180, 7185.
7146.600, November 25 at 1413, music at S7, no doubt the other VOBME around
slightly variable off-frequency, long path. See also ETHIOPIA (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) Hargeisa by now is off 7120
** ETHIOPIA [and non]. 7236.03, November 25 at 1415, carrier here at same time
I am getting the Eritreans lower, so presumably EBC External service, R.
Ethiopia, scheduled this hour in Arabic; frequency drifting upwards as I try to
measure it. An equally weak signal on 7235.0 in the way: CRI Chinese via
Kashgar or IBB Korean via Tinian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MADAGASCAR [and non]. 7445, November 25 at 1926, I`m scanning 7 MHz band
whether anything is propagating yet, less than one hour after local mean noon:
only this JBA signal, which is BBCWS in English, 250 kW, 315 degrees from
Talata also USward at 1600-2000.
7445, November 26 at 0045, S4 from algo, now scheduled as BBC in Dari via
Woofferton (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 810, Nov 26 at 0202 tune-by, ``Radio Rey, Reynosa, Tamaulipas,`` ID
in passing in the mix as I happen to be aiming N/S. That`s XERI, 1000/100 watts
per IRCA, not bad! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 6184.99, Nov 25 at 1927, JBA carrier is the only thing on 49m less
than an hour after local mean noon, suspected XEPPM Radio Educaci?n active in
the daytime, not enough to detect modulation if there be any. Same offset when
checked November 26 at 0048 with some undermodulated music (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. Where have all the pirates gone? It`s been weeks since I`ve
logged one on the 6.9 MHz band during various evening bandscans; just YHWH on
7410; see ROMANIA [and non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also
UNID 5150
** OKLAHOMA. 890, Friday November 25 at 1700 UT, KTLR OKC, `Broad Spectrum
Radio` with Serena Blaiz of Peace Buzz, on Islamophobia in Oklahoma, where
state rep. John Bennett held a session October 25 at the capitol on ``radical
Islam`` and accused some audience members of being terrorists. She goes on to
interview someone from CAIR, but cut off at 1714 UT for BST contact info, as
this is only for a quarter-hour. Perhaps we`ll hear it later on the WBCQ 7490
UT Friday 0030-0100 broadcast. More about the episode and link to original full
hour:

(Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA [and non]. 7410, November 26 at 0219, S6 conversation, must be
French from RRI this hour. Just checking in case Station YHWH should reappear,
but frequency is not free until after 0300, and he was always good at picking
clear channels.
Meanwhile, Ron Howard heard ``Joshua`` last night, November 25 at 0322-0417* on
7335, but never IDed as Station YHWH, so Ron just calls it a religious pirate
now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1853 monitoring: UT Saturday November 26 at
0039, JBA carrier on 9330, so apparently WBCQ is on, and if so, would be
playing WOR (9265 WINB is JBA but S3, while 9475 WTWW is S9+35!)
Regarding Hamburger Lokalradio: Ivo Ivanov says last Saturday at 0730,
Switzerland in Sound played instead of WOR; HLR assure me that this week WOR is
all set to run at the proper time. I`m concerned by the East Turkistan/Pakistan
QRM blocking 7265 in Europe for the next airing Saturday at 1530. So this week,
HLR is experimenting with a third time for WOR on their other 1 kW frequency,
9485, Sunday November 27 at 1130. It looks as if there should be no QRM to
that. Please let HLR and me know how well it`s heard in Europe and beyond.

** U S A. 7490, UT Saturday November 26 at 0100, WBCQ is very poor at S4 in
noise, but enough to detect William Tell Overture theme to open `Allan Weiner
Worldwide` --- but not enough to copy what`s being said, so I may as well go on
out to see the fireworx as downtown ``Enid Lights Up the Plains`` (no, not
Planes).
Once back, I try again at 0217 and hear ``Over There``, the WWI warmongering
song being played, which would be odd for AW to be doing on this show. After
it, I can now tell it`s J.P. substituting, as he invites calls to an 845 phone
number, and mentions WHVW.net and plugs his own show `Shortwave Saturday
Night`. Neither now nor earlier was I hearing anything on 5130v or 3250v which
might have been // (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5950, November 25 at 0703, Brother Scare is JBA but // 7570, so now
5950 is really WRMI, presumably back on the 181 beam.
5850 // 7730, November 25 at 0705, `Viva Miami` mailbag is playing unscheduled
again 24 hours after last logs here, now UT Friday.
9455, November 25 at 1901, the WRMI day frequency corresponding to night on
5950, southward, is on but as always, very poor with BS. Also on is 15770, the
day frequency of absent 7780.
5950, November 26 at 0227, very poor signal in English, WRMI to the south, but
not // BS on 7570. Then I do find 5950 is // VP 11580, and they keep mentioning
Ukraine, so indeed RUI as scheduled on 11580 only at 0200-0230. No ID break and
at 0230, 11580 goes right into Radio Prague in English, but now 5950 is no
longer //, into World Music, African (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17775, November 25 at 1857, KVOH is VG level, but overmodulated and
distorted, splattering plus/minus 10; 1859 Spanish ID and off before 1900*. No
formal sign off and no English, and no `Frecuencia al D?a` as they played one
week ago on Friday. Was not audible at all from *1400 nominal sign-on, westward
MUF not built up yet if really on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15555-USB, November 25 at 1902, WJHR ID, near Pensacola, addresses,
VG signal at 45 dBu peaks on the PL-880, while its nearest neighboring SW
station, 15610, WEWN, is only 27 dBu. That`s 1 kW vs 500 kW per WRTH. Partly
explained by sporadic E with a 27 MHz MUF according to DXMap, via a patch right
over the ArkLaMiss tri-state area, halfway between there and here. At 1917 I`ve
switched to the NRD-545 and get WJHR with S9 peaks, WEWN averaging S6 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15610, November 25 at 1917, WEWN averaging S6, and with pronounced
echo as if long/short path. Since it`s only 1 megameter away, that makes it 39
Mm by long path.
12000-12100, November 25 at 1919, span of buzz coming out of the 12050 WEWN
Spanish transmitter. Barely detectable at the edges, worse and worse the closer
in, and fundamental itself is far from clean. Strangely, when presumably same
transmitter is on 5810 at night, no such problems. At least the mess out of
12050 is not nearly as bad as it was a couple weeks ago much louder and
extending past the 12105 & 12160 USA stations (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 9917.1 & 9942.9, November 25 at 1922, parasitic spurs of 9930 where
WTWW-2 manages to modulate today with `Dave Ramsey` show, rather than dead air
for hours and hours yesterday, except for commercial inserts (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9275, Nov 25 at 1925, still no signal from WMLK, not repaired yet.
The other Pennsylvanian, 9265 WINB is not on either, too early under current
bookings to start at 2045 weekdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1040, November 25 at 2007 UT, `Dave Ramsey Show` is opening ---
the only thing unusual in a MW bandscan on caradio from a quiet location in
central Enid, seeking early low-noon skywave. I tuned in too late for any local
ad or ID, but figure it`s WHO Des Moines. However: Rush is on their sked at
this time. There are only two other possibilities in this part of the country:
KGGR Dallas, which is religious, and KCBR Monument (Colorado Springs) which is
hip-hop (if active, and not to be confused with VOA Delano). `Dave Ramsey Show`
website agrees it is on other stations in those markets, so what in the world
did I get? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 5150, November 25 at 1407, JBA AM carrier. Wonder if it`s the
pirate relayer again, which was quite active at all hours a few weeks ago
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6162 approx., November 25 at 0655, weak RTTY INTRUDER has wedged
itself in between CBC and RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7480, November 26 at 0044, the humroar is here again at S5,
perhaps jamming warming up for the 0100 RFA Uighur broadcast via Tajikistan
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9445.50-USB, November 25 at 0646, INTRUDERS, 2-way in colloquial
Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

echo as if long/short path. Since it`s only 1 megameter away, that makes it 39
Mm by long path.
12000-12100, November 25 at 1919, span of buzz coming out of the 12050 WEWN
Spanish transmitter. Barely detectable at the edges, worse and worse the closer
in, and fundamental itself is far from clean. Strangely, when presumably same
transmitter is on 5810 at night, no such problems. At least the mess out of
12050 is not nearly as bad as it was a couple weeks ago much louder and
extending past the 12105 & 12160 USA stations (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 9917.1 & 9942.9, November 25 at 1922, parasitic spurs of 9930 where
WTWW-2 manages to modulate today with `Dave Ramsey` show, rather than dead air
for hours and hours yesterday, except for commercial inserts (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9275, Nov 25 at 1925, still no signal from WMLK, not repaired yet.
The other Pennsylvanian, 9265 WINB is not on either, too early under current
bookings to start at 2045 weekdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1040, November 25 at 2007 UT, `Dave Ramsey Show` is opening ---
the only thing unusual in a MW bandscan on caradio from a quiet location in
central Enid, seeking early low-noon skywave. I tuned in too late for any local
ad or ID, but figure it`s WHO Des Moines. However: Rush is on their sked at
this time. There are only two other possibilities in this part of the country:
KGGR Dallas, which is religious, and KCBR Monument (Colorado Springs) which is
hip-hop (if active, and not to be confused with VOA Delano). `Dave Ramsey Show`
website agrees it is on other stations in those markets, so what in the world
did I get? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 5150, November 25 at 1407, JBA AM carrier. Wonder if it`s the
pirate relayer again, which was quite active at all hours a few weeks ago
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6162 approx., November 25 at 0655, weak RTTY INTRUDER has wedged
itself in between CBC and RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7480, November 26 at 0044, the humroar is here again at S5,
perhaps jamming warming up for the 0100 RFA Uighur broadcast via Tajikistan
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9445.50-USB, November 25 at 0646, INTRUDERS, 2-way in colloquial
Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This is direct from the Australian Communications & Media Authority. I've
found this to be very helpful, and thought I'd pass it along.
It lists am stations by frequency, their call letters, the city they're in,
wether its national, commercial or other and their power output.

** CUBA. 5025, November 26 at 0715, R. Rebelde is talking about ``la p?rdida de
nuestro comandante``. I just caught a minute or less of RHC English before
0700* on 5040 et al., but probably nothing about Fidel dying as the single
English hour is recorded at 2000 UT or even earlier and then repeated over and
over. I`m not going out of my way to listen to Cuba, altho it is an historic
occasion, since RHC is all about the Fidel personality cult all the time,
anyway. Enough is enough.
15140, just before 2100 UT, now ``Ed Newman`` is acknowledging some
condolences. How many ``good riddance`` emails did they have to throw out, or:
file for future retaliation. If a dead person is ever worthy to be spoken ill
of, Fidel is it.
6000 & 6165, Nov 27 at 0102, both RHC English frequencies are dead air, in
tribute to dead Fidel? 0103:40 they finally start barely modulating, and now
are prepared to mention his passing. But one would have to strain to hear them,
not worth it.
5025, Nov 27 at 0110 tune-in, at first no Rebelde but weak 5024.9, no doubt
Quillabamba, Per?. Then RR cuts on and off and on, playing an ancient
unpolished recording of a group singing ``El Himno 26 de Julio``, a.k.a. ``Qu?
viva la Revoluci?n`` which would also become RHC`s theme (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MADAGASCAR. 17640, Nov 26 at 1851, no signal from MWV APR in English (Glenn
Hauser, oK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 730, Nov 27 at 0152, YL DJ giving two phone numbers for
requests/dedications, each only once and too fast for me to copy. (I thought I
had a decent digit span.) She mentions Ciudad Jim?nez, so I`m sure it`s the
usual dominatrix, XEHB, Hidalgo del Parral, Chihuahua, certainly not desportive
XEX (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 760, Nov 27 at 0148, conversation in Spanish, mentions pelota, so
about sports, way over WJR and looping approx. ENE/WSW. Then WJR fades back in
but still a hefty collision. Don`t see how it could be any US station, but one
of four in NW Mexico: XEDGO Durango2, XENY Nogales, XEEB Ciudad Obreg?n, or
closest XEES Chihuahua2. IRCA has no format for the latter, a.k.a. Antena 7-60,
but the others are musical, two of them rom?ntica. 730 Chihuahua is inbooming
even more (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6924.96-AM, November 26 at 2136, S9 music with a heavy beat,
almost disco with lyric ``Causin` me a heartache`` over and over. At 2140 up to
S9+20, but no announcements past 2146+. A bit early for me to hear pirate
activity, but four later logs here from further east between 2223 and 2314 say
it was Liquid Radio:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,31281.0.html
I would agree with the ``thumpage`` description (Glenn Hauser, OK< DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6950-USB, Nov 27 at 0053, rock music, song yelling about
radio; 0057, ``Listen to the radio, pirate radio`` song; 0100 Wolverine Radio
ID. Only S9, not as strong as it could be, noisy band, and off at recheck 0121
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [non]. 1650, Nov 27 at 0132 UT, I`m getting two Spanish stations,
Denver and El Paso, and one sports English, Iowa, but NO religious music from
KFSW Sallisaw, which is of course our closest. Something continues to be very
strange with this station, not up to even 1 kW ND night power, or not on the
air at all. It has become a mere appendage of a 98.7 translator, but don`t
forget the AM still has to exist on the books; and on the air? (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** UGANDA [non]. 15240, Nov 26 at 1851, poor signal here with talk in presumed
Luganda, Radio Munansi, via WWRB. No sporadic-E enhancement this time, equally
poor to 15825 WWCR. 15240 is still on at 1905, for another hour? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 13565, Nov 26 at 1430, K6FRC HIFER CW beacon from California as the
coincidental ham call implies, is JBA, vs CODAR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1853 monitoring: as usual now, not confirmed the 1530
UT Saturday Nov 26 broadcast on Hamburger Lokalradio via MV Baltic Radio, as
7265-CUSB via the UTwente SDR gets nothing but CRI Hindi via Kashgar (and maybe
some Azad Kashmir Radio mixed in). Does HLR overcome all that anywhere in
Europe?
WOR 1853 confirmed Saturday Nov 26 at 2330 on WBCQ, 9330-v-CUSB: WOR theme is
JBA, slightly on low side. Also confirmed UT Sunday Nov 27 at 0421 on WA0RCR,
1860-AM, four minutes in so started circa 0417. Next:
Sun 1130 HLR 9485-CUSB to SW [experimental; reports wanted]

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7780, Nov 27 at 0118, this WRMI is still AWOL, while its
corresponding day frequency, 15770, was not when checked around 2100 Nov 26
with Dub Politico (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3215, Nov 27 before 0200, WWRB is active again for a three-day
weekend/start with usual horrible audio.
3195, recheck at 0209 after jump to avoid WWCR on 3215: now with the
anti-Semitic preacher(?) who sees evil Jewish influence everywhere, including
making Fidel and Che Marxists; and NYC mayor he claims is a secret Jew.
Apparently live, and takes satisfactory signal reports on the phone. How long
does this transmission last? Not checked again until 0420 when it`s off (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 660, Nov 27 at 0156 UT from east/west, PSAs in English for Rotary and
US EEOC, some network news on hour and ID finally at 0203 UT for KTNN Window
Rock AZ plus a couple of other Navajo towns in rotation. Meanwhile at 0159 UT
another(?) 660 station was giving silly football scores for teams in the east,
as I hoped for a rare WFAN ID --- which KTNN is supposed to be protecting with
a null, but not now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** YEMEN [non]. 11860, Nov 26 at 1436, Republic of Yemen Radio, is S9+10 at
tune-in; think I heard a couple Qur`anic notes, but then into usual triumphal
music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED [non]. 1040, Nov 26 at 1958 UT, I`m tuned in on the caradio a bit
earlier than yesterday to catch an ID from the mystery station which was
carrying Dave Ramsey from 2007 UT on Friday. There it is, weak but steady. This
time the Clark Howard show is upwrapping, TD America ad (how many
Unitedstatesians know that TD stands for Toronto Dominion?) And now at 10
seconds before 2000 UT, ID time! Which is dead air! Grrrrr. Then Fox News
Radio, 2002 UT USFS Wildfire PSA from Ad Council, 2003 UT more ``news``, 2005
UT ``News talk 960, KGWA`` --- so 1040 is a +80 kHz spur from one of my locals,
not WHO nor KGGR nor KCBR. And it makes a SAH of ~6 Hz with one of them. What
are the chances of a spur being that close to ``on`` frequency? Did KGWA
fine-tune it?
I`ve never noticed this before. Now, is KGWA 1040 produced by my Nissan
caradio, or really there to be heard on other receivers? I`m not hearing it at
further part of Enid, but maybe it`s just a worse signal/noise level. At 2126
UT I try it on the NRD-545 --- yes, it`s audible and // 960. Spurs usually come
in matching pairs, so how about 880? Even here, KRVN Nebraska reaches us
adequately on daytime groundwave, but with the PL-880 on 960 and the NRD-545 on
880, I can make a // to an 880 undersignal. I had previously suspected anything
daytime under KRVN would be a remnant of KJOZ in SE TX, if not further skywave.
So all three of our Enid AM stations, besides producing weak harmonics and
low-SW mixing products with each other, are also spur producers:
1390, KCRC as previously reported, constantly puts almost matching modulated
hets on 1420 and 1360, plus and minus 30 (but not exactly) kHz, and weaker
second order ones at different pitches, near 1330 and 1450 = plus and minus ~60.
1640, KZLS, puts at least one spur on about 595 kHz, subject of a transmitter
search which took me out into the wilds of Garfield county a few weeks ago
