** CUBA. 6165, Dec 13 at 0400, RHC English is back here after a spell
on 9700, just in time to impose ACI splash upon much weaker 6160- WBCQ
and WORLD OF RADIO. Shux, but we`ll see if permanent or not. 9700 did
clash with Turkey at 0400-0700 but RHC usually well atop here. 6165 is
still on with dead air of S9+20/30 at 0729. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** EGYPT. 9899.588v, Dec 13 at 2145, R. Cairo still trying to
broadcast in English and failing miserably: S9+20/25 into UTwente, but
modulation of totally distorted spikes only; I rip off my headphones
in disgust, but from the table I hear a 3+1 mis-timesignal at 2200:49,
a bit of the theme; and at 2204.6 cuts off the air ceding to noise
level. UTwente still receiving at 2220 when it`s putting out amid the
hash, electronic tones of seemingly random pitch and length, perhaps
an artifact of trying to synch on the non-signal? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) ** FRANCE. 15285.070V, Dec 13 at 1615, S3-S5 of talk, the frequency
audibly wavering. It`s Issoudun with R. Manara International in Hausa.
Previously measured during same hour Nov 27 at 15285.052. See also SAO
TOME (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAO TOME E PRINCIPE. 15460.071, Dec 13 at 1613, S4-S6 of talk, VOA
Pinheira in Kinyarwanda scheduled, typical offfrequenciness here; I
bet the earlier ``15460`` VOA hours via Vatican, Botswana be a lot
closer. Previously measured during same hour Nov 27 at 15460.070,
within margin of error. See also FRANCE (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Mon Dec 13 at 2311, REE`s token English after the
news, presents the full speech of Nobel Peace Prize winner from the
Philippines, Maria Ressa, an excellent advocate for Freedom of the
Press. Unfortunately, REE is going into deeper and deeper fades into
the local high Xmas noise level and I give up about halfway through.
Quick check of the other three frequencies finds zero signals on
11670, 11940, 12030, not propagating and/or not on the air. Her speech
should be available somewhere, eventually in REE archive (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 13565 CW, Dec 13 at 1610, HIFER beacon K6FRC, Patterson CA,
is JBA then increasing to BA; latest in day yet logged but always in
the mornings (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2116 monitoring: not confirmed
Sunday December 12 at 2100 on AM Italia, 918 kHz, still running the
Marconi anniversary special loop, as heard via Noale SDR. Confirmed Sunday December 12 at 2352 the 2330 on WRMI 5950 but JBA to
Bonaire, and 9955 at S9+5. Then to Missouri SDR, 5950 is S8+35/25 and
9955 S6-S9. At Bonaire, NO signal on 4980, should be audible if
propagating, since 5010 WRMI is there. No 4980 either to Missouri.
Another example of self-contradictory WRMI skedgrid info: System L
shows 5950 only but transmitter sked atop shows System L also applies
to 4980 at 23-24. Apparently 4980 at 23-24 is really M-F only during
APS Radio program. WOR did appear once on 4980, Fri Dec 3 at 2330
before APS launched. Now that broadcast is on neither. Also confirmed UT Monday December 13 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, S5-S7 into
Missouri vs hi noise level, but improved to S9+10/25 at 0047. Also confirmed UT Monday December 13 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9+5/S7 to
Missouri; but at 0138 NO signal direct. Also confirmed UT Mon Dec 13 at 0230 on WRN North America webcast. Also confirmed UT Mon Dec 13 at 0400 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6160-,
carrier minus 45 Hz = 6159.955 to Knoxville SDR, JBA to S2-S4 -- as
RHC has moved back to 6165 from 9700 just in time to resume QRMing us
with much stronger signal, no better but carrier offset shows minus 52
Hz = 6159.948. Next: 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed?]
1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW, 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts:
