** CUBA [and non]. 880, Nov 7 at 0350, Spanish music atop KRVN making a SAH of 84/minute = 1.4 Hz, presumed R. Progreso, Pinar del Rio, but no SW 4765 to //. During EST season, nominal 4765 hours are 0130-0500 only UT. Does not fit exactly mwoffsets which implies these two 3.9 Hz apart as measured on widely divergent dates 2 or 3 years ago. If KJOZ TX were the Spanish, it and KRVN were only 0.7 Hz apart as of 2018/2019 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 5025 & 4765, Nov 7 at 0321, both Rebelde and Progreso are off; 5040 RHC Spanish S9/+10. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6000, UT Mon Nov 7 at 0344, RHC is S9+25/35, but just barely modulated with hum, not positive // 6165 as it`s only S7 and also JBM/hum, during `Mailbag` with ``Ed Newman`` -- him being soft-spoken would otherwise be pleasant, but not to cope with JBM! If RHC still have two separate English hours alternating, this confirm that now during evenings EST, Mbg appears within odd-numbered UT hours, as expected in updated DX/SWL/Media Programs, rather than even-UT hours during EDT. As for the isolated 1-hour Englishes at 20-21 and peripatetic 22-23 or 23-24, never quite sure which be which. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140, Nov 7 at 2001, RHC English is still here, VP and distorted into Maryland SDR, presumably 20-21 ex 19-20 UT. Have not tracked RHC much more yet; may be further changes following week (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 6090-6120, Nov 7 at 0341, NHK Japanese relay via Issoudun is S9+45 on 6105, splattering out to plus/minus 15 kHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** IRELAND. 3413 USB, Nov 7 at 0325, YL VOLMET in English, JBA S4 = HNL. EiBi shows it`s Shannon (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2163 monitoring: confirmed Sunday November 6 at 2100 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz only, S9+10/20 into nearby Noale SDR with fast SAH and lite English understation, presumably Smooth Radio, Brighton. Also confirmed UT Monday November 7 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9 but noisy into Missouri SDR; with 10-15 seconds of heavy noise overlaying, blocking audibility of my opening, starting exactly same time as WOR playback, obviously WRMI defect on this System/frequency. Also confirmed UT Monday November 7 at 0130 on WRMI 5950, VG S9+20/30 into Missouri SDR. Also confirmed UT Monday November 7 from 0401.5 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6160 minus 65 Hz = 6159.935. In the previous sesquiminute A51 had some looping mélange, then cut to clear WOR. Next: 0130 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed by Cuba] 0030 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html A noncommercial service for which financial support is appreciated.

Vanuatu JBA on 3945 harmonix (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 603 kHz, Nov 7 at 0725, strong carrier but off at 0730 UT. This is a 9/kHz TA/TP split channel, but wonder if something closer, like a domestic with a 3 kHz tone? I am not the only one curious about 603. Possibilities include 500 kW Korea S, 600+ kW China; 500 kW Oman, but all into daytime, most of all Oman. Similar quandary on 891, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 891.00, Nov 7 at 0352, big het vs WLS and Cuban Spanish on 890.00, but can`t pull any audio. Obvious choice would be Algeria, but not there at 0412 recheck on the R75; so receiver birdie? Similar quandary on 603, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA split MW carrier search, Nov 7 at 0412: 684, 774-2, 837, 855 -- all likely Spain or Canary; 1467 & 1566, JJBBA TWR Benin. Nov 7 at 0440 another sweep: 612, 684, 747-2, 774-2, 837, 882, 999: likewise, except 612 Morocco. UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA split MW carrier search, Nov 7 at 0725: 801, maybe not too early for 10 kW KTWG Guam, 500 kW N Korea or 250 kW Taiwan? Also 846 Kiritimati; 1287? 50 kW Japan?
