** ARMENIA. Re my report of KBC: ``6080 kHz, direct from Yerevan`` --- not Gavar?? VG reception via UTwente, not here``
Christian Milling replies on the soon to be deleted DXLD yg: ``Neither Yerevan nor Gavar. The village where the transmitters are located and the postal address of the station is Noratus, Gegharkunik Province, Radio Quarter 5`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** AUSTRIA [and non]. 6185, UT Sun Dec 6 at *0500, Moosbrunn on just in time for NHK English relay at weekend timing, ex-6155; makes fast SAH overriding XEPPM, which I was hearing weakly in Spanish before 0500; via Rochester NY SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. 6075, Dec 6 at 1553, S9 strongest signal on band by far, the only listenable one some 2.4 hours after sunrise here, Chinese talk and plucked music to timesignal and off 1600*; meanwhile same music on 7300 if not synchronized. Aoki/NDXC for 6075 shows CNR1 jamming vs Taiwan but until 1730*; also PBS Qinghai with CNR1 too until 1600*. Furthermore, CRI in Urdu via Kashgar until 1557. None of these seem apt for pushing such a bigsig thisaway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ERITREA [non]. 17545+, Dec 6 at 1542, confirmed no Bayto Yaikl on Sunday, just Wed & Sat so far.

A nor`easter hit the WBCQ area on Saturday December 5, and it seems it has been knocked off the air, altho not certain, perhaps deficient propagation. 6160v, Dec 6 at 0503 check, no signal into Rochester nor here, but may have just normally signed off. Sked: http://zappahead.net/#2020-1205-area51 7490, I was also checking whether a conflict with WHRI, but only the latter heard on 7490.0, Dec 6 at 0455 with gospel huxter into Warrenton MO SDR I`m mainly monitoring for WA0RCR; 0503 S7-S9 gospel song. 9330, Dec 6 at 1624, no signal from WBCQ with WLC.

At 1812, Peter W Hansen: ``17790 comes best at Bay Area California and 17795 in New York and Iceland.`` I ask Jeff White about it! ``Hi Jeff, Questions I hope you can answer: 17790 -- what is the origin and significance of that unfamiliar [17-note] interval signal? Is this really from Okeechobee? Which transmitter and antenna? Excellent signal here. Is this leading to a new relay client? Any other new frequencies planned? And you were running 17795 at same time? Others heard that. From another site? At 1900 ID sounded like a mixture of Spanish, and Russian?`` ``Glenn: It's a test for a one-time special transmission tomorrow [Mon Dec 7] from 1300 to 1700. I can't really say who it's for until tomorrow. Two frequencies: 17790 and 7570. The language was Bosnian. Yeah, it's OK to share it. Jeff`` Further monitoring via Bonaire and direct: I`m hearing 17790 only, past 1952 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 17775-, re KVOH missing December 4, Ray Robinson of KVOH replies December 5: ``Hi, Glenn. 17775 was indeed off on Thursday and part of Friday [Dec 3-4] due to a preventative Edison power cut to the area that includes the KVOH transmitter site. It will likely be off on Monday [Dec 7] too, not due to Edison, but because of some maintenance work we need to do (that can only be done when we have lights and power!).
