** CUBA. 11760, Nov 28 at 0735, S9+20 of dead air, and 11670, S9+10 of same. Surely RHC transmitters running way late, rather than mistuned second harmonix on 10050, 10080 --- not heard again since my original reports. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 13700, Nov 28 at 1627, this RHC still on overtime in Spanish, S9/S7 but no spurblobs today. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6000, Nov 29 at 0003, dead air from RHC. Should be the `Mesa Redonda` alternative // 11950 which is not dead and not // mainstream 11760. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9439.995, Nov 28 at 2211, no English signal into UTwente from R. Cairo. Something`s amiss at Abis (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI [and non]. 846 kHz, Nov 28 at 0729, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati; even weaker one on 1098 which would be V7AB, Marshall Is., but nothing detectable on 1017, A3Z Tonga. Only other 9/kHz split JBA carrier is 711, likely remnant of 300 kW TA Morocco. Axually that is in occupied WESTERN SAHARA, q.v. northern part but well south of the `border` with imperialist Morocco (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MADAGASCAR. 15355, Nov 28 at 1958 open carrier, 2000 undermodulated music and French, S8/9+10. It`s AWR via Talata at 2000-2030, and would have followed Igbo/Ibo at 1930. Did not recognize music as the usual AWR theme. Not noticeably off-frequency, either! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALI. 17880.005, Nov 28 at 1635 song S7/S9, talk in Arabic, the SSOB even surpassing 17790 WRMI. Sounded further off-frequency than found upon measurement. It`s CRI Bamako II relay at 16-17 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAO TOME E PRINCIPE. 15460.022, Nov 28 at 1631, S5/S7 of talk. Listed as VOA Swahili this semihour via Pinheira. This USAGM site is one of the most capable of offfrequenciness (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Nov 28 at 2300, not by a computer, finding REE direct to NAm is VP; intro of feature to be something about Poland/Ukraine. Of course we could probably find it later on their podcast archive (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2166 monitoring: confirmed Sunday November 27 at 2100 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, Villa Estense, 1323 kHz only, not on 918 or 207 kHz, neither of which heard for some weeks; S9+10 into nearby Noale SDR, but with fast rippling SAH from not much modulated co-channel carrier. Preceding IRRS ID again claims 7125 instead of 7295 on SW, and 9510, but none of these on at this hour. Also confirmed UT Monday November 28 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, JBA carrier direct but S7/S9 into Maryland SDR; by 0055, improved direct to S9/+10 vs HNL at S9. Also confirmed UT Monday November 28 at 0130 on WRMI 5950, S6/S8 into Georgia SDR with pulse jamming ACI from 5955, which is an hoary relic of the era long ago when Radio República was on 5954+ via Costa Rica! But S9+30 into Missouri SDR. Also confirmed promptly at 0400 UT Monday November 28 on Area 51 webcast; also WBCQ 5130 -63 Hz = 5129.937, JBA into Missouri SDR; JBA to VP with ACI de 6165 CUBA, into Maryland SDR averaging -65 Hz = 5129.935. The difference could of course be due to slightly different receiver calibrations. 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. Thanks this week to David Cole, Baton Rouge LA, for a generous check to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702. One may also contribute via PayPal not necessarily in US funds to woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15750-15755-15760, Nov 28 at 1629, WINB DRM noise this time on the bottom half, hybrid tones on top half, opposite configuration from last log on 7325-7330-7335; why? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 11835, Nov 28 at 0733, JBA carrier from RV X 3, but not detectable RV X 2 = 7890 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** WESTERN SAHARA. Only 9/kHz split JBA MW carrier, Nov 28 at 0729 when I am getting TPs, see KIRITIMATI, is a TA on 711, likely remnant of 300 kW Morocco. Axually that is in occupied WESTERN SAHARA, northern part but well south of the `border` with imperialist Morocco. Timeanddate.com shows a.k.a. ``El Aaiun, Iqlim Al Uyun, Iqlīm Al `Uyūn, Laayoun``, so when is sunrise there today? 0720 UT! Latest sunrise will be 0741, Jan 4-19. We are already at earliest sunset, 1753 UT from Nov 26 to Dec 6. In Northern Hemisphere, these are always about a month apart due to Earthly oblateness, but combine for shortest day on the Winter Solstice (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 21599.22 approx., Nov 28 at 1639, JBA carrier, only sig on 13mb besides 21630 BBC Ascension. This is probably a local birdie as nothing is listed now on 21600, but logged just in case. Algeria and Bulgaria prefer `even` frequencies. Later, still there at 1952, so never mind (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0028 UT November 29
