I am hearing what sounds like Radio Habana on 5820 kHz at 1215 UTC, 28 Nov
2017. And I am not hearing the usual booming signals on 6000, etc.
Not sure if this is related, but Radio Marti on 5980 seems to be unmolested.

** BIAFRA [non]. 11530, Nov 28 at 0553 check, R. Biafra via WRMI is fair-poor
with fading in Igbo; 0554 YL in English with usual canned schedule announcement
covering 75% of its frequencies only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BOLIVIA. 5580.23, Nov 29 at 0019, VP signal with a trace of music
modulation. Way out of band, certainly bringing to mind R. San Jos?, de
Chiquitos, which as of a year ago in WRTH 2017 was listed as irregular, 0.25 kW
at 21-02v, and 11-17 UT.
But I think it has not been heard in a long time. The last report I find of it
was in DXLD 17-05, by Claudio Galaz, Chile, Jan 28 at 1036 on 5580. And before
that another by him, tentatively, Oct 20, *2015* at 2350. Back the last few
years there have been a few other logs of it on ``5580``, but I recall it
really being off-frequency. Finally I find my own log from 2014y which was:
``5580.3, May 18 [2014] at 0108 not only a carrier but some music audible, from
presumed R. San Jos?, allegedly only 250 watts per WRTH 2014, with closing
varying around 0200. I check for this most evenings, but seldom anything
detectable. There is still too much local line noise to copy anything, but the
carrier is still there at rechex 0119, 0132, 0141, 0153``
This station also appeared in the latest Domestic Broadcasting Survey of April
2017: ``B 5580.3 0.25 BOL R San Jos?, S. Jos? de Chiquitos 1100-1700
2100v-0200v S catholic px, poor modulation JAN17`` B means irregular, as
opposed to C sporadic; Jan 17 was the last known log of it. The November issue
of Anker Petersen`s monthly updater, Tropical Bands Monitor, still shows no
logs of it since Jan 2017. These very useful references are accessible free via
http://dswci.org
I also noted previously: ``something on 5580 could also be a MW harmonic from
558, 620, 930, or 1395``. Anyhow, it bears further checking now! (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 9667v, Nov 28 at 0654, Voz Mission?ria is OFF, after having been
wandering widely around nominal 9665. Not due to propagation, since the other
weak off-frequency ZYs are still audible, measured on: 9674.923 at S3-S4,
9725.395; and 9818.795 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1906, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
9665.56v, Nov 29 at 0033, VM back on and trying to be more nominal, while
wobbling, with music, Brazuguese announcement (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CHINA. 6100, Nov 29 at 0025, poor signal with Brazuguese intonation. NO ZYs
here, so I bet it is CRI: Yes, HFCC shows 00-01, CRI in Portuguese, 500 kW, 318
degrees from Beijing site. I`ve always found this routing remarkable,
northwestward across the great Eurasian landmass and risking the auroral zone
on the way to Brasil, CIRAF targets 12-14. I guess it worx, with enough excess
to be audible here. They would have a much less tortuous path by transmitting
from East Turkistan across Africa --- which in fact they do on 9710, 269
degrees almost due west from Kashgar, currently not blocked by Cuba on 9720
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6060, Nov 28 at 0705, RHC in Spanish with loud almost distorted
modulation, instead of English, which remains on 6165, 6060 and 6100, in
marginally improving levels of undermodulation order. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA [and non]. 7345, Nov 28 at 0649, two stations, both in English,
about equal level. One is of course BBC via ASCENSION, from 0600 one of our
better chances at it here in the abandoned target area of North America, really
aimed into Africa, natch. Surely the other station is here by mistake --- at
0649 conveniently IDs as Radio Romania International. But in HFCC we find that
*both* are registered here, from 0630, RRI 300 kW, 307 degrees toward W Europe,
and here we are directly beyond. With widely diverse nominal target areas, they
must have concluded this is not a collision. But it sure is here, and would not
be surprised if enough ASC is making it into Europe to cause a problem there.
Both are off by 0701 (Glenn Hauser, WORLD OF RADIO 1906, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1905 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday
November 28 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, very good as usual. Simultaneously on 9330
there is enough signal from WBCQ to tell that it`s on. By 0110 rechecked on the
porch with the PL-880, Blalock is blasting at good level, better than WBCQ has
been here for about 3 weeks, so hope WOR in the previous semihour was just as
good. Also confirmed Tue Nov 28 at 2130 on WRMI 7780 // better 9455 // best
11580.

UNIDENTIFIED. 5010, Nov 29 at 0016, JBA carrier. Probably the Cuban leapfrog of
RHC 5040 over Rebelde 5025 another 15 kHz lower; altho cannot detect within a
noise blob the reverse at 5055. An unID music pirate from the Maryland area was
also being reported earlier in the afternoons until 2300* on 5010 (Glenn
