** CUBA. 4747 & 4782 approx., Nov 21 at 0236, ratchety spurblobs out of 4765 R. Progreso, plus/minus 17-18 kHz. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [and non]. 6000, UT Sat Nov 21 at 0125, RHC English on here only but no 6145, unsure of 9700 yet, if on not strong into a portable. Anyhow starting circa 0100, not 0200. 9700, by 0205 Nov 21 on the R75 I am hearing this new RHC English frequency with much-delayed B-20 sked going into effect, but it`s only S3-S5, much less than 6000 which is S9 but undermodulated; and 9700 pales by comparison with the bigsig next to it from 9690 Spain. 9700, by 0333 Nov 21, this RHC has surged to S9+20, now stronger and with more modulation than 6000. At 0452 checking 9700 at Maine SDR, roughly equal collision, as predicted with Turkey in Turkish which was already there for B-20 at 04-07 UT; but at UTwente, only TRT. Something`s always wrong at RHC. 6060, Nov 21 at 0459, Arabic music VG into Maine, i.e. ALGERIA via FRANCE with signature clickbeeping on defective Issoudun transmitter but cuts off by 0500 leaving nuttin` but noise. Still no signal at 0548. RHC is supposedly reactivating 6060 in Spanish at 01-05, English 05-07, or -08? Maybe later, but if so this will be colliding at 04-05. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** JAPAN [non]. 9560, Nov 21 at 0334, news in English all about COVID-9 especially concerning Japan. Includes brief snippets of citizen comments voiced over into English, just like NHK does on TV. This is the *Swahili* service, but still inserting part of TV news audio in English instead of proper language. It`s also a defacto North American service, always with a good signal from MADAGASCAR, 250 kW at 320 degrees toward E Africa but carrying on into deep North America. Shhh, don`t tell anyone as we are not supposed to listen to Radio Japan in English on SW! 0339 plays some jingly-music, maybe to accompany video-only world weather info? But 0340 back into Swahili after seeming to intro show as ``Day Now``, of course IDing as required with English name ``NHK World`` in all languages; into songs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MADAGASCAR. 5009.919, Nov 21 at 0240, JBA talk maybe French from RNM always off-minus, S8-S9 vs noise level of S6-S7; WRMI closes at 0230 clearing for this which now copes only with that chirping from 5007. India is gone for good from 5010, but if WRMI-14 is weak enough, you might hear a het from Mad. before 0230. 4980, BTW, still not hearing any JBA carrier or modulation from WRMI-4. For a while this frequency was displayed on the skedgrid as #4 but with NO timeblox. Now I see that has been replaced by 11710, so maybe there are plans for 11710, perhaps even with full power, but nothing yet. 11710 has been registered in Jeff`s HFCC as 23-03 in English & Spanish, 100 kW at 160 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

(7490.1v), UT Sat Nov 21 at 0100, WBCQ webcast as `AAAWWW` is starting with WTO theme. First subject about drug prices, conspiracy theory that the China-produced virus is being used as an excuse to keep drug prices high in the US, tnx to the Rothschilds, Bilderburgs, Illuminati --- but AHW reminds us ``don`t want to sound like conspiracy theorists`` meanwhile going on about this thinly veiled anti-Semitic stuff; ``the elexion ain`t over`` so plenty more politiix in store this week. AHW wants to play some podcast he heard but has to do it by holding his phone up to mike. Tune out. Tune back in at 0132 to 6159.9 confirmed // via Warrenton SDR as same othervoice is still going back on webcast, but studio quality so AHW must have found a better way to connect. 0143 finally outroing this guest with his name and name of program which I am not going to repeat, as he has been making a totally bonkers conspiracy case about this cabal trying to control us. By 0153 reading e-mails, all of whom seem to be deep-enders in agreement. Wrapup as usual with prayer, and canned AHW ID cuts off live AHW before he finishes in time for 0200 Hal Turner (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5800, UT Sat Nov 21 at 0320, WRMI S9+20/30 with operatic duet --- certainly not another TRSW repeat as rumoured. Who would be playing classical on WRMI but Brice Avery? Yes, it is additional run of his `Encore` hour, temporary fill or not? Soon outro as a bass/tenor duet from `The Pearl Fishers` by Bizet. 0352 recheck, about to ``play out`` with Schubert`s String Quarter #13, second movement. These are from the 21/11 Playlist, already airing. Play-out means Brice signs off early and never says anything at the very end; instead the music is still playing at 0359.5 when it`s chopped off for ID, 0400 dead air and about to turn off. What will occupy this frequency-hour next week? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0604 UT November 21
