** ANGUILLA [non]. 6090, Dec 1 at 0651, still no signal from Caribbean Beacon,
leaving dead Gene Scott to languish on 5935, WWCR at S9+10. I just received
this Dec 1 from Christopher J. Gordon, location unknown:
``Subject: Caribbean Beacon "destroyed by Hurricane Irma" ---
Caribbean Beacon's Irma trouble was first reported in DX LISTENING DIGEST
17-37, September 12, 2017.
I received a QSL card in the mail yesterday from Caribbean Beacon. I sent them
a reception report for a broadcast I received on August 21st while traveling in
Oregon.
In their response, dated November 11, they say that Hurricane Irma has
destroyed Caribbean Beacon. Attached to this email is a photo of the QSL card.
Hope it is of some interest to World of Radio. Christopher J Gordon``
Here I copy what was handprinted on the QSL card, but unsigned:
November 11, 2017 Reception Confirmed
Thank you for writing. The Caribbean Beacon was destroyed by Hurricane Irma.
Pastor Melissa Scott has committed to rebuild. Check in often. Signed 6090 kHz
/ 11775``
Card has this website on it: PastorMelissaScott.com
and was postmarked Santa Clarita CA 913 on 25 Nov 2017.
So now my ``conspiracy theory`` that the one-or-two day activations of 6090 &
11775 with good seemingly normal signals that I and others have heard a few
times SINCE IRMA, could be from some other transmitters, gains credence, as
obviously they could not possibly be from Anguilla, if that one was really
``destroyed``! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BIAFRA [non]. 11530, Dec 1 at 0524, no signal detectable from R. Biafra via
WRMI, while other WRMIBS 11580 is a JBA carrier, and so is the other Biafra
frequency via FRANCE, 7240. However, at 0555, I do get a JBA carrier on 11530,
weaker than the one on 11580, and at 0556 nothing on 7240, maybe already closed
(Glenn Hauser, oK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 9664.46V, Dec 1 at 0043, Brazuguese talk from Voz Mission?ria at its
latest wobbly variant over at least a 3 kHz range (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC check at 0556 UT Dec 1: music from English service on 6165 and
6000, but 5040 and 6060 are in Spanish, and 6100 is dead air. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [non]. 7355, Dec 1 at 0041, R. Mart? on NEW frequency, VG and free of
any jamming, discussion of Kansas City b?isbol stats. Wall of noise jamming on
7435 and 6030, the latter with RM also audible. Checking 7355 further all
evening as it stays on, et alia:
7355, Dec 1 at 0104, still S9+30, but also on 7365 with jamming; RM is
synchronized so presumably 7355 is also via Greenville. Also 6030 RM under
jamming. 7435 with WONJ and no RM.
7355, Dec 1 at 0202, still VG; 7365 jamming only; 7435 RM over lite jamming;
6030 RM with heavy jamming.
7355, Dec 1 at 0320, still on and clear; 6030 under jamming; 7435 vs jamming.
7355, Dec 1 at 0429, still on and clear but fading a bit; 7435 RM plus jamming;
can`t hear on 6030.
7355, Dec 1 at 0522, loud & clear; 7435 also good with no jamming audible; 6030
weak jamming, can`t hear RM.
7355, Dec 1 at 0554, clear and S9+40; 7435 also S9+40 and over jamming but
fading a bit; 6030 RM S9+20 with jamming, fading
7355, Dec 1 at 0600, I finally catch an RM ID with frequency announcement as
``6030, 7355, 7435``.
7355, Dec 1 at 0711, RM is off as it had to be since WHRIBS is already here for
this hour. 5980 with jamming and not sure if RM but probably; likewise 6030.
Jamming against nothing continues on 7365, 7435.
7435, Dec 1 at 1359, RM over jamming; 1400 cuts to dead air, with CRI theme
audible underneath.
13820, Dec 1 at 1400, open carrier vs jamming, finally brings up RM audio at
1402:25. 11930 is also on with RM over jamming
9565, Dec 1 at 1413, residual jamming but no RM, far beyond its normal schedule
on this frequency.
The big news is that RM has started a third frequency in the evenings, 7355. It
used to run three frequencies at all times, then cut back to two; but I have
yet to find a third after 0700 or after 1400. The latter after bandscanning 17,
15, 13, 11 and 9 MHz bands. Need to keep looking for third frequencies in the
daytime, as announced or monitored.
And 7355 is already announced so they even know about it in studio.
HFCC as of Nov 30 still does not have 7355, but this rotation on 7 MHz;
different segments on 7435 account for slight azimuth changes:
22-23 7375
23-24 7435
00-01 7435
01-02 7365
02-03 7435
03-07 7435
12-14 7435
7355 is open worldwide all the way from 17 to 07 UT. When does it start with
Radio Mart?? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [non]. 5990, Dec 1 at 0026, algo VP, obviously CRI Spanish via CUBA
absent. Instead listed at this hour are CRI Russian, 100 kW, 345 degrees via
Hohhot; and PBS Qinghai in Tibetan, 50 kW, 206 degrees from Xining (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA [and non]. 6145, Dec 1 at 0024, S Asian singing with CCI. Aoki/NDXC
shows AIR in Urdu from 0015, 500 kW, 325 degrees from Aligarh, and the only
other at this time as PBS Qinghai, CHINA, 50 kW, 270 degrees from Xining (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTEING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1210, Dec 1 at 0640 UT, dead air from KGYN Guymon,
instead of talk format which replaced US Country some weeks ago; while at right
angle underneath is gospel huxter in Spanish, no doubt KUBR San Juan TX in the
RGV.
I haven`t bothered to report it, but KGYN is ALWAYS strong here at night now,
obviously failing to go direxional as required to protect Philadelphia (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 5960, Dec 1 at 0027, German! Thus Voice of Turkey has again failed
to turn off the Emirler transmitter before 2400 when English has finished. Next
check at 0053, maybe off, but some JBA carrier with heavy splash from
somewhere, maybe 5935 WWCR with pseudo-science show // 6115?
Anyhow, if the VOT overrun should recur 48 hours later, it will collide with
the weekly Mighty KBC via Germany starting at 0000 UT Sundays on 5960 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 15580, Thu Nov 30 at 1910 on caradio, VOA starting `Science in
America`, perhaps a regular Thursday feature. Site on this frequency until 2100
is BOTSWANA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1906 monitoring: confirmed Thursday November
30 at 2230 on WRMI, 5850, VG S9+30/40.
Also confirmed UT Friday Dec 1 at 0030 on WBCQ, 9330.01v. This signal sounds
different than before, not CUSB only but some slightly less modulation also on
LSB; a bit of distortion when listening in AM, and with BFO the frequency is
varying slightly. Next:
Fri 0030 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW

Full WOR schedule via all media, and podcast access:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9370, Dec 1 at 0048, WWRB, instead of BS, S9+12 of dead air; 0558
recheck, 9370 still with a VP carrier, can`t tell if modulated, but night
frequency 3185 still not on (Glenn Hauser, OK, X LISITENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1040, Dec 1 at 1352 UT, WHO nulled, talk with 719 area code,
Colorado/Colorado Springs ads, obviously KCBR Monument CO illegally on the air
before official FCC December sunrise of 1415 UT; 1355 UT ``Blazin` 98-5``
non-ID in passing during program promo. However after 1400 UT I am still
hearing much further east WHO, but not KCBR, and while Catholic neighbor 1060
KRCN Longmont, is still audible, also before its legal sunrise of 1415 UT
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 4925.0, Dec 1 at 0020, surprised to hear a signal here, VP music.
Only station known is R. Educa??o Rural, Tef?, Amazonas, Brasil, but it`s
always been on 4925.2. Could this be something new from Asia? Nothing listed
except in EiBi, on an extremely limited schedule, the V24 Numbers station from
S Korea at 1430-1440 only, and only on days 11, 13 and 15 of the month (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7501.50-USB, 2-way in Spanish discussing 80 kilos of algo; one
also has background noise, aircraft or motorboat engine? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
