** BIAFRA [non]. 11530, Nov 22 at 0533, WRMI with R. Biafra, VG S9+20 back to
OK, and how well to Nigeria?? Another devotional/prayer in English, something
about ``Radio Biafra, dedicated to Jesus Christ, amen``. // 7240 via FRANCE is
JBA as usual; still I try to determine the delay because they are not
synchronized; as music and talk alternate on 11530, sometimes the opposite is
audible on 7240. At 0557, 11530 goes to WRMI music fill, and 7240 goes to dead
air. (But that`s not all on 11530 now! See NIGERIA [non].)
Thorsten Hallmann, Germany, replies to my last report: ``No such sound noted on
9580 Nov 20 or 21. But "Anambra State elexion [...] legitimate" is also the
only content I could make out (except frequency announcements and announcements
stressing the station was broadcasting from London, slowly read) on Nov 20.
Maybe that's the main point of these broadcasts.``
To which Kai Ludwig, Germany, replies: ``Or at least what prompted this
project. The publications from the Igbo side are also completely swamped with
"Anambra State elexion illegitimate, everyone stayed home", etc., etc.
Must be something of big significance for those in Nigeria, while no one
outside takes notice at all. At least not a single hit on the BBC websites.
But instead I found something related to the fact that all these media
activities use the universal language BSE (bad simple English):
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07881kx
"Nkem wants to know why he was never taught Igbo as a child and why the United
Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation, UNESCO, has warned
that Igbo faces extinction in the next fifty years." Kai Ludwig`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 5980, Nov 22 at 1228, R. Mart? music with no jamming; while
6030 at same time has wall-of-noise jamming against nothing, since the second
RM frequency this hour is: 7435, good over jamming at 1245 with b?isbol news.
The incompetent DentroCuban Jamming Command still hasn`t synchronized with the
true schedule of RM, which is no secret and not subject to any anti-jamming
abrupt shifts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CYPRUS [non]. 9955, Nov 22 at 1401, FG Radio`s ``Travel Gazette`` via WRMI,
once AGAIN replaying the old-old episode heard countless times before (since
April?), the earnest announcer talking about all the big news ``this week``!
Such as banning laptops on airlines, crime in the Caribbean (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 7555.657, Nov 22 at 1242, S8-S5 carrier, JB modulated? This is AIR`s
always-way-off-frequency and variable Delhi transmitter often logged by Ron
Howard, during Tibetan service, but apparently escaping ChiCom jamming unlike
its // 9575 & 11620 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 11780v, Nov 22 at 1411, song amid humroar on transmitter. EiBi and
Aoki show it must be this: AIR Khampur site in Sinhala to Sri Lanka at
1300-1500. I suppose sporadically low-power reactivated RNA BRAZIL could be
under there too (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. 9500, Nov 22 at 1253, VIRI piano IS, brief announcement, NA, 1254
Qur`an, poor S8-S5 with flutter. It`s opening a sesquihour in Urdu via Sirjan
site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT [and non]. 9749.812, Nov 22 at 1256, someone is way off-frequency
here, VP with weaker het from 9750.0. Aoki and EiBi show three ``9750``
occupants at this time: Kuwait, R. Japan and PBS Nei Menggu, China. Ivo Ivanov
had the answer:
``Good signal of MOI Radio Kuwait General Service in AM mode on Nov 2
1100-1600 9749.8*KBD 250 kW / 286 deg NEAf Arabic Gen Sce, instead of
1015-1600 11629.8 KBD 250 kW / 230 deg CeAf Arabic Holy Quran on Nov 1
*1100-1500 9750.0 YAM 300 kW / 290 deg EaAs Japanese R Japan NHK World`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 4146-USB, Nov 22 at 1239, very weak marine weather in English,
single digits frequently mentioned. EiBi shows it`s ZLM, Taupo Maritime Radio,
at 1233-1305 among several other broadcasts. Frequency is shared with VMT
Hobart Radio Wx, Australia: our best chance for that is 0903-0918. Also shared
with two Uruguayan stations, should one hear Spanish, and some of those times
overlap (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 6089.943, Nov 22 at 0536, carrier at S9-S7, seems dead air or maybe
JB modulated from FRCN Kaduna. Still so at 0555. At least there is not enough
modulation to rate it as distorted. Wolfgang B?schel had last reported good mod
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA [non]. 11530, after hearing R. Biafra via WRMI again until 0557 Nov
22, I assumed it went off as usual, but rechecked at 0649, Brother Scare is
S9+10/20 on 11530, slightly better than // 11580 at S9 to S9+10, and // 9955,
7780, 7570, 5850 too. What`s next?
11530, Nov 22 at 0700, WRMI in another language, soon obviously Hausa as
mentioned, and Nigeria, ID as ``Radio --- something --- International``; news
about Zimbabwe. Nothing on 7240 audible now but 11530 is peaking to S9+30! 0706
music; 0708 horn fanfare and IDs again, name sounds like Harao, or Harowai.
Schedule announcement mentions kHz twice so there is probably another
frequency. Unlike Biafra, this is heavily produced with continuous music,
either songs alone or quite a variety of African music behind the talk, most of
which is also infected with reverb. Not a word of English on this one either.
Next mention sounds like Eherowah. One Hausa word is frequently uttered thrice,
``tara``.
So WRMI has more COTB business (WRTH parlance: Clandestine and Other Target
Broadcasts). This must be a brand-new one as the name is not anything familiar.
Don`t know how long this transmission is, as I need to QRT! Brother Scare must
have just been filling the hour in between.
Reawakening, I find Ivo Ivanov already has this info on it as of 0828:
``New transmission to Nigeria: Radio Inherua International, Nov 22:``
0700-0730 11530 YFR 100 kW / 087 deg WeAf Hausa/Kanuri WRMI tx10, poor
0700-0730 13710 ISS 100 kW / 170 deg WeAf Hausa/Kanuri TDF, very good:
Videos later today``
Google search gets only one significant hit on the name, i.e. Ivo`s YouTube
where 13710 is much better than 11530:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdtV7fhOMD8
Both morning frequencies are also in Aoki as Radio Inherua International
starting today, but I wonder how either of them can be sure of the name, as
there are no other significant hits on it? Would it also have an evening
broadcast? None in Aoki.
Let`s try Google translate: no Kanuri, but from Hausa it means ``Inherited``.
And tara means nine.
Guess what: on a WRMI server, the name is spelt: RADIO HERWA. But Google can`t
translate that.
Searching on Radio Herwa gets nowhere (until it reaches this very post) but the
word Herwa leads to something likely related since it`s about Nigeria and
explains the Kanuri connexion:
http://www.international-alert.org/partner/herwa-community-development-initiative
``Countering extremism in Kawar Maila
Supporting women?s leadership in promoting rights, peace and human security
Reducing stigma against those affected by Boko Haram
Supporting vulnerable communities and conflict-sensitive reintegration in
northeast Nigeria`` and further linx to own website in English:
http://herwacdi.com.ng/
Nothing mentioned yet about radio among their ``projects``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. RF 13, 13-2, OETA OKLA subchannel like all PBS stations faced with
the abrupt cancellation like a hot potato of Charlie Rose (OMG; who`s next??),
scrambles to fill his time: Nov 21 at 0400, and 1800 UT, it`s another repeat of
`Antiques Road Show`; but Nov 22 at 0400, Tavis Smiley instead, and OETA
Cherokee produxion `OSIYO` at 0430; but Tavis Smiley again at 0500 UT! A
different episode? The latter with Salman Rushdie.
The OETA online and onscreen skeds hadn`t kept up, planned many weeks in
advance. Finally on Nov 22, website shows Tavis not only at 1730 UT but again
at 1800, and 1830 a repeat of `Market to Market`. For 0400-0530 UT Nov 23:
Tavis, Market to Market, and more Tavis.
Hope PBS come up with another, untainted ``Charlie Rose`` for in-depth hourlong
discussions, which we often benefited from, politix, arts, sciences, not
including those with rappers and actors we never heard of. Parts or all of the
CR hour were often done by substitutes, so there is no shortage of good
interviewers ``at some other table``.
Come to think of it, did Charlie`s topix in the last weeks ever deal with
sexual predation by his predecessors? Not that I recall (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOMALILAND. 7120, Nov 22 at 1247, JBA carrier already detectable from R.
Hargeisa, about 2 hours before its sunset at 1439, so plenty long path
propagation already (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** THAILAND. 9390, Nov 22 at 1249, HSK9 Radio Thailand with good newscast in
English, about North Korea; Aussie has to resign from Senate after discovering
is a British citizen, not allowed even if dual; fair with flutter, and LSB
necessary to escape 9390 WRMI (another English this semihour from 1230,
Bangladesh on 15105, is not making it here unlike further east) (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 12035, Nov 22 at 1405 and later, no signal, not even a JBA carrier
from VOT in English. Propagation seems OK with lots of other signals on band.
Either off, or more likely another error running on wrong frequency. No
schedule handy to look around for it, but checking EiBi later, sked until 1330
was 15270 in German, a likely candidate probably on same antenna; also 11965 in

** BOTSWANA. 4930, Nov 23 at 0102, VP signal amid recognizable VOA News, M&W
alternating, mostly not quite readable, then ECSS helps a bit, 0104 about the
Lebanese PM unresigning; ``that`s the latest news from V-O-A!! 0105 right back
to the ``best music``, which no doubt Central Africans will be eager to hear at
3:05 am. So this VOA relay is still on expanded schedule, perhaps 24 hours, in
honor of Zimbabwe (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11780, Nov 22 at 2053, poor S6-S2, M&W talk in Brazuguese, so now
I`m sure I too have heard reactivated RNA. Seems to be limited to irregular
daytime hours only, and very low power, nowhere near the 250 kW it originally
ran 24 hours. Nothing from it audible now or later on 6180 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 1610, UT Thu Nov 23 at 0117 UT, M&W discussion in English but the M
has an accent, French Canadian? Fades completely out and back in. Topic at 0124
UT is sundials, and how they would be counterclockwise if invented in southern
hemisphere; 0125 UT music up and comments about UN Human Rights vs Duterte,
etc. Never heard any local references, but surely CHHA, VocesLatinas, Toronto,
and in fact its year+ old sked shows this Wednesday 8-9 pm ET hour is some of
its token English, `Urban Definition`
http://chha1610am.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/PostCard-CHHA-1610AM-2016.jpg
Still no sign of Anguilla (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEWFOUNDLAND [and non]. CANADA, 2749-USB, Nov 23 at 0109, French YL weather,
for vendredi, samedi, S7 vs noise level of S6. Canadian Coast Guard schedules at
http://www.ccg-gcc.gc.ca/Marine-Communications/RAMN-2017/Part2
show the closest preceding start time is 0040 UT from VCO Sydney NS via Port
Caledonia site, but nothing about anything non-English.
2598-USB, Nov 23 at 0111, YL with weather here is even weaker, but seems
English and more synthetic. Same sked shows VOK Labrador via St Anthony,
Newfoundland site, just started at 0107 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15570, Nov 22 at 2057, S9+30 of dead air, obviously VOA Greenville B
warming up prior to its only hour on 15580; 10 below to avoid collision with
VOA Botswana until 2100 which until then achieves only a JBA carrier here
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7565, Nov 23 at 0228, JBA carrier, easily missed in the splash of
7570 WRMIBS if you aren`t looking for it with BFO on LSB. I am, since I just
noted IS from Vatican relay in Spanish via Greenville, violating Separation of
Church and State, on 7305. In the past this has produced a leapfrog mixing
product with adjacent transmitter/antenna carrying Radio Mart? at the time, and
now that frequency is 7435, halfway between 7565 and 7305. On two radios, one
in each ear, with offset BFO, I hear both 7305 and 7565 go off at the same
time, 0231*, confirming this expectation. Last year I had several reports on
7425, when the fulcrum was 7365 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1905 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday
November 22 at 2200 on WBCQ, 7490, fair-good. Not confirmed UT Thu Nov 23 at
0030 on WBCQ, 9330v-CUSB --- no signal audible on any of my receivers, but may
still be on at very low power and very poor propagation; neighbors: 9370 WWRBS

Let`s take a look at the latest HFCC Nov 22 for RMI registrations via ISS, with

Check 11530 before 19 and after 20 for possible evening broadcast of Radio

9580 is still not registered, except unused for WRMI itself at 0900-2100
And one more from WRMI itself:
9840, 0600-0800, 87, English``
I was soon out to lunch, but checked on the caradio and a portable. Not even
11530 WRMI was on this day, Nov 22 at several chex between 19 and 20! Does this
mean R. Biafra BCFL is done for? Has its purpose been served to disseminate
disinformation about the Anambra State elexion, as some suggest? We`ll see;
it`s missed a broadcast day before, but resumed.
Also between 19 and 20, nothing on 9610 or 11795; nor did Bill Bingham in RSA
hear anything.
Next times to monitor 11530, Nov 23, whether it`s like last night?
0500-0600 Biafra
0600-0700 Brother HyStairical
0700-0730 Radio Herwa International
Also please check the other times and frequencies above, in case RMI start
another relay without notice (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9455, Wed Nov 22 at 2106, tune in WRMI with FG Radio`s `Travel
Gazette` ---- yes, it`s the same hoary old show as always, apparently running
since April as well as 7 hours earlier today on 9955, e.g. ``Come & Get It``
song and 2109 about the EZ-Jet website. As scheduled Wed 2100-2115 at
http://www.tinyurl.com/WRMIfqs --- which continues to exhibit the wrong
frequency for this hour, the suspended 15770 whose antenna was destroyed. It
was already // 9455 and now only the // continues altho not shown as such
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9980, Nov 22 at 2059, WWCR VG S9+45 with steel drum IS, part of
announcement, I thought sign-off, but apparently sign-on; 2100 another ID, hum
and ad for gold & silver, 2102 Fanfare for Common Man theme, and `Financial
Survival` pushing ``discounts`` on gold and silver to those foolish enough to
bite. Hostess says they`ll be playing music instead tomorrow on TG Day, and a
rerun the next day --- unless there is important breaking financial news,
requiring going live.
This show has also been on WBCQ 7490 at same time, but not today, continuous
rock music instead. Its repeat at 0400 UT, was also missing from 7490 when I
checked Nov 18, instead Brother Scare, so has it been cancelled on/by WBCQ? No,
recheck at 2155, now F.S. is running a few seconds behind 9980; WBCQ apparently
had a feed pickup problem.
As for 9980, the significance of that is, the sked shows it`s WWCR-4
transmitter, the one which has been AWOL for a couple days. Supposedly it runs
all the way from 13 to 24 UT (most of it before 21 Brother MoleStair), so maybe
I just caught its reactivation starting at 2059? A time when there would
normally be no IS and frequency/change/sign/on/off announcement.
7520, Nov 23 at 0052, WWCR-4 also reactivated here, pushing gold; same show? VG
signal. 6115, between 0158+ and 0159+, WWCR-1 signs off for move to 3215, and
WWCR-4 signs on after about a semi-minute pause, and 0200 joins hummy GCN, into
``this is war`` on `A Call to Decision` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5085, Nov 23 at 0156, WTWW-2 is on with ``Silent Night`` --- here we
go, as it`s UT Thanksgiving, time to start running Xmasmx into the ground, as
Ted`s WTWW does holidalyly. Was not on yet when I tuned across circa 0100. Now
accompanied as always by weak parasitic spurs about 5072.1 and 5097.9 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
