** BRAZIL. 10000, Nov 2 at 2229, pips every 10 seconds under WWV, and
confirmed on USB only, not LSB, as from PPE, O.N., Rio (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 15034-USB, Nov 2 at 1836 UT, Trenton Military timecheck as
1735 zulu, no report received from some but not all. Will resumption
of standard time get their clock back in whack? NO! Nov 3 at 1451,
still 61 minutes slow as ``1350 zulu`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST) ** CHINA [non]. 15700, Nov 3 at 1447, CRI English via CUBA is S9+20
with good if not full modulation for a change (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 13766 & 13633 approx., Sunday Nov 3 at 1442, RHC amid `En
Contacto` at ``sección técnica`` with Arnie, FMish spurblobs out of
13700-AM, but first-order only, none heard further out; and 13740-AM
is also still on. At 1450 transitioning to medical show, also on 15230
suptorted S9. and good modulation on 15140, S9+10/20. So as a running dog of Yanqui imperialism, matching DST offdate with
Miami gusanos, RHC has made its annual timeshift, the Spanish DX
program at 1435 ex-1335; and which will also affect other Spanish
programming, and many other but not all language broadcasts; also any
significant frequency changes post B-19 for the rest of us should now
start emerging by monitoring if not RHC website skeds still from B-18*
season displayed thru A-19!

Something`s always wrong at RHC. First airing of English should now be at 2000 ex-1900, but still on
15140? Before 1900 Nov 3, 11760 & 15140 both in Spanish; after 1900,
11760 off and 15140 continues in Arabic, ex-1800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 11760, Sun Nov 3 at 1501, RHC still in Spanish. 15140 OK //
11760 overmodulation distortion at 1627, RHC in Esperanto, so expected
one-hour-later shift of that weekly language to 1600 is confirmed. Two
other airings will have to be confirmed Sundays circa 0700? 2230? on
whoknowswhat frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA [and non]. 13605, Nov 3 at 1445, wall-of-noise jamming remains
here a week after totally predictable and public B-19 Radio Martí
change to 13820 which is VG unjammed during song in English lyric ``I
know`` over and over. Something`s always wrong at DCJC. 11860 Grimesland VG and weaker // 11930, Nov 3 at 1456, RM ending song
vs no jammings here either, into oft-heard PSA about the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights, which the Republic of Cuba sponsored and
ratified at the UN, Dec 10, 1948, dig dig about lack of H.R. in Cuba
since (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** JAPAN [non?]. 9890, Nov 2 at 2224, NHK in Japanese, VG S9/S9+25
peaks. Still hard to believe this be direct from Yamata as scheduled
aimed away from us; rather an eastern relay like Madagascar or Europe;
signal equivalent to 9690 Spain, and as strong or even stronger than
9505 WHRI, 9395/9455/9955 WRMI. No other E Asian signals on band
anything like this (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MADAGASCAR. 11985, Nov 2 at 2127, ``Battle Hymn of the Republic``
on organ, nice rendition if politically incorrect, and VG signal until
2128.5* off with no announcement. B-19 listed as AWR at 2100 in
Nigerian Pidgin, 250 kW, 305 degrees also USward from Talata (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. RF-16, Nov 3 at 1515 UT, routine DTV bandscan finds no
signal from Daystar`s KOCM ``46`` in OKC market; it`s normally weaker,
but seems to be off as everything else is normal, and no tropo DX. Or
underpowered? By 1740 a Bad bar occasionally appears on the STB (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** PERU. 4775-, Nov 2 at 2329, JBA carrier, also later in evening into
UT Nov 3; R. Tarma was just reported at 2228-2301+ ID by Bruce
Churchill with a good signal on 4774.9 into Iceland SDR, assumed the
new 2 kW transmitter, and no Congonhas; but no better here and still
off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** PHILIPPINES. 9335, Nov 2 at 2221, poor signal in Khmer, USAGM via
Tinang, due west. Nothing on 9330 WBCQ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST) ** SPAIN. 12030, Nov 3 at 1457, REE IS and sign-on for weekend sked,
best here off the back of ME beam tho with some long-path echo, as REE
has never figured out that North America needs a higher full-day
frequency than 9690, which is poor S3-S7 also echoing; first audible
on 11940 to S America also weaker than 12030; and detected on 11685,
new African frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TURKEY. 11815, Nov 3 at 1454, silly ballgame coverage with
enthusiastic crowd noise, S9 but SAH of 5 or 6 Hz. Still gamy at 1500.
It`s VOT in Turkish as now sked 14-17 UT at 310 degrees USward,
overcoming NHK in Japanese at 10-17. Before 1400 TRT is on 15350
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [non]. 15460, Sunday Nov 3 at 1448, African song, good S9-S7.
HFCC shows USAGM, i.e. VOA in Kinyarwanda, via VATICAN Sat & Sun only
1400-1500; violating Separation of Church & State (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also PHILIPPINES ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2006 monitoring: Ivo Ivanov,
Bulgaria reports that none of the Hamburger Lokalradio broadcasts were
on the air this Sat or Sun. Also absent last week. What`s going on? I
have inquired of HLR, but no reply. From website, this ``ticker`` item
implying it is current or late news altho not dated. Does this affect
shortwave? http://www.hamburger-lokalradio.de/ HLR – Ticker
„Liebe Hörerinnen und Hörer, bedingt durch eine schwere Erkrankung

1300-1330 15770 RMI 100 kW / 044 deg to WeEu English Sat, fair`` Not confirmed on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, Wentzville MO. Checked at 0330 UT
Sunday November 3, but at 0333 `This Week in Amateur Radio` starts and
runs all the way to 0455 (with ID breaks inserted every dekaminute),
then `Amateur Radio Newsline`, and 0513 `Handi-Ham World`. Maybe WOR
ran earlier around 0300, or really late, or not at all? I`ve asked
Vern, and how early/late WOR could appear because of other
programs/podcasts of variable length. The ones I heard and WOR are not
cited on the outdated? WA0RCR websked. TWIAR`s podcast site

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5800, Sat Nov 2 at 2212, WRMI poor S3-S7 in English lexure,
music, presumably SMTV this hour; while 5950 is TOMBS. Ivo Ivanov
reports that as of Nov 3, WRMI is on 6060 ex-5800 at 2100-0200, as
originally planned a week earlier. I did not notice WRMI (or RHC) on
6060 early UT Nov 3. The skedgrid at
http://www.tinyurl.com/WRMIfqs
now dated Nov *4* does show XMTR 3 on 6060 at 0000-0200, but still on
5800 at 2100-2400! (Glenn Hauser, OK, Nov 3, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 15770, Sun Nov 3 at 1446, WRMI with SMTV, indicating this
frequency will stay on same UT, i.e. variety programming hours still
13-14 & 20-21 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 17775, Sat Nov 2 at 1834, JBA carrier is the OSOB, so seems
despite fires/power outages, KVOH English is on today if not really
propagating (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5085, UT Sun Nov 3 at 0012 tune-in, WTWW-2 with `Theatre
Organ in the Ozarx` in progress, VG signal, but I immediately bring up
the stereo webcast. Soon obvious it`s an episode heard two or three
times before, Bob Heil with his Johnny Carson story at 0014. Nice tunes but we are a bit tired of hearing the same ones again and
again. How about something new, like a song you have never heard on
organ or would never expect to? VG audio on webcast until the canned
outro at 0038-0039 with distorted sound. If about 35 minutes long,
must have started circa 0004 UT. Website still claims this show is at
8 pm Saturdays; no timezone, but everything else is expressed in
Central, i.e. UT-5 now, UT-6 henceforth. For a while it was really
starting circa 2330 UT Saturdays. Have not heard TOITO for several
weeks in sporadic chex, but might have missed it; just ham radio
stuff. Of course, TOITO appears here because Heil is also a well-known
ham (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 1925 UT November 3
