** CUBA. 5990, Nov 20 at 0002, open carrier; 0003 extremely distorted
music starts, // clear 11760 RHC Spanish. 5990 is supposed to be
relaying CRI in Spanish. 6000 RHC not yet on. At least they are not
mixing both CRI and RHC on 5990 this time. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 8960, Nov 20 at 0735, JBA talk on R75, only
with Preamps at full level 2: i.e. receiver overload of 7570 WRMI
TOMBS plus local 1390 KCRC Enid. Not that anyone else could hear this,
but pointing out as an example of SW afar mixing with MW anear to make
a mystery (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, Nov 20 at 0730, JBA carrier of SIBC is only
broadcast trace just above 5 MHz, Cubans still gone and no Vanuatu
5040 nor Aussies audible on 5035, 5045 or 5055 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** TIBET [and non]. 4820, 4905, 4920, Nov 20 at 0007 JBA carriers,
matching as all from PBS Xizang, Lhasa, occupied by the ChiCom. Same
deal as the four 4 MHz frequencies correlating with Xinjiang, Urumqi,
standard denunciation, which are also again audible, graylinish.
Additionally one on 4800 which would be the Golmud 916 site, i.e.
almost-Tibet. Another one on 5025 leads instead to R. Quillabamba,
Perú, while Cubans remain absent from 5025 and 5040 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Nov 19 at 2305, VOT English is very strong
into UTwente, but suppressed by open carrier making fast SAH, yet
CCCCCCI modulation not heard until about 2309 from PBS Xinjiang,
Urumqi, EAST TURKISTAN, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against
Uighurs and other Moslems. Too annoying at UTwente, likewise sometime
after 0000 Nov 20 recheck when it`s now bothering The Mighty KBC`s
weekly bihour via Nauen, GERMANY. Not compared this week but
fortunately little if any of the CCCCCCI reaches North America, east
or deep (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2165 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
November 19 starting at 2044 UT on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, Wentzville MO,
S9+20 by groundwave into nearby Warrenton SDR; immediately following
`Amateur Radio Newsline`. First I checked direct at 2024, and found a
JBA carrier amid the S9+10 local high noise level. It`s wintry
residual daytime skywave tnx the lowering solar angle, might have been
audible 675 km/420 miles away without the LHNL.
Also confirmed Sat Nov 19 at 2030 on WRN North America webcast. NOT
confirmed on WRMI 15770 at same time, no matter what their
self-contradictory skedgrid may show; rather gospel huxter for months,
ex-1930 in DST/A22 season.
Also confirmed UT Sunday November 20 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S6/S7 into
Maryland SDR.
Also confirmed UT Sunday November 20 from 0429.5 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM,
MO, S9+22 into nearby SDR. Next:

Too late for this week, but Wolfgang Bueschel reports hearing WOR at a
new time on WRMI: Friday Nov 18 at 0830 on 5010; however the skedgrid
dated Nov 18 shows 5850 & 7780 instead at 0830 Friday, unchecked yet
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9329.841, Nov 20 at 0737, WBCQ WLCR, S9+10 in Spanish, no
mix with Cuban Spy Numbers on Sunday; further off-frequency than
usual. Why don`t hi-tech hi-power SW transmitters come with a
fine-tuning control? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9395, Nov 20 at 0743, WRMI with a wacky drama, S9+20,
eventually mentions SMTV. First time I`ve ever heard anything the
least bit ``entertaining`` from SMTV (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. WTWW: More info from the POV of George McClintock, president
of Leap of Faith, early UT November 20: A third party is now claiming
to own LOF, Inc. This can only be a piece of paper, as LOF is now only
a shell corporation according to the TN Secretary of State. George
says his name is on the deed of the land. The transmitters are owned
by another corporation which has his name on it. The FCC license
cannot be transferred without his signature. Like I remarked earlier,
a power struggle. He says, only for the name of the corporation with
the State of Tennessee (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 7890, Nov 20 at 0731, JBA carrier from RV, 2 X 3945, but
not making it on 3 X = 11835 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VATICAN. 13830 // 15565, Nov 20 at 1538, S9+10 both the strongest
extracontinental signals on their bands, talk in listed Somali from
VR. Another example of VG opposite coverage from SMG site. Is their
antenna hooked up backwards? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 325 MCW kHz, Nov 20 at 0805 UT, single-letter beacon Q,
as I am falling asleep. Don`t hear any other letter nor dash but got
to be defective for a 2- or 3-letter call. RNA Signals shows these
here or near with a Q in them:
325, YJQ, Bella Bella BC - Campbell Island - I never hear BeaCons;
326, YQK, Kenora ON, 200 watts
326, VQ, Norman Wells NT; I never hear NT either; 1000 watts per
dxinfocentre.com while YJQ is 50 and YQK not listed (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
