** CUBA. 11760, Nov 28 at 2320, NO signal on RHC #1 legacy frequency, supposedly scheduled 2100/0600 or beyond, also mornings. Something`s always wrong at RHC. Unfound now on any other 25m channel (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** JAPAN. 13705, Nov 28 at 2315 Japanese language lessons, ``...desu ka`` over and over, with music ditty, during Thai hourthird at 2300-2320, NHK S9/+10 yet off the back, ex-13650 no longer colliding with pointless China/Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MADAGASCAR [and non]. 11610, Nov 28 at 2318, S9/+10 of dead air, probably MWV failed to turn off by 2258 after Arabic; they have nothing scheduled 2300/0300 so why not, no hurry? Seemed slightly off-frequency, and adjacent to 11615 Chinese = jamming and/or RFA TINIAN this hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6955 USB, Nov 28 at 2310, rock music with yelling, buried in local line noise level of S9+20 until R75 NB engaged to read S9+10. Many logs here say it`s Thunder Chicken: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,121904.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.005, Nov 28 at 2300, VOT not off the air, but can detect it at S9+10/20 only by engaging the R75 Noise Blanker, otherwise S9+30; still no pleasure to listen. But VG at 2345 into UTwente where exactified. 2347 ``always-by-your-side`` promo, music. 2353 s/off with correct but partial English sked. Something`s always awry at Ankara; 2354 IS; 2356* just in time to avoid pre-German, uncovering the 6CI which was always audible under (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 26110 NBFM, Nov 28 at 1605 UT, not full quieting but audible at S6 peaks above S4/S5 noise level, remote news report and weather segment, no doubt KMK282, the studio audio from KOVR or KMAX, Stockton/Sacramento CA. Also propagating, the K6FRC beacon on 28300 CW. Otherwise I always have a local birdie AM carrier on 26111 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2218 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday November 28 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9+25 into Missouri SDR. Also confirmed UT Tuesday November 28 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, poor into Missouri SDR with what sounds like Cuban pulse jamming, not heard otherwise on this frequency. Also confirmed Tuesday November 28 at 1411 and still 1422 the 1400 on WRMI 9955, undermodulated, S7/S9 direct and not cut short like last week.

Appears the offset-minus primary transmitter has been restored after weak sigs on plus side or none at all (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5085, Nov 28 at 2305, WTWW still active and S9+40/50 direct; after gospel screed, preacher gives date as morning of Nov 26, 2023, i.e. Sunday only two days ago, at Laporte Church of Christ: so instead of decades-old PPPP recordings, something new from SFAW HQ. Also the JBA spur carriers about +/- 13 kHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search of entire band at 9/kHz intervals, November 28 at 0430: only 711 het on 710, and rather strong but no audio pulled. A few years ago, one of the Cuban Rebeldes was thought to be exactly +1 kHz off-frequency, but surely more likely the Moroccan imperialist station in Western Sahara. WRTH 2023 shows 8 Rebeldes on 710 from 1 to 200 kW. The 400 kW Moroccan // on 936 used to be a regular carrier here but has been inactive a few years (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 7555, re my unID noise Nov 24 at 0809, this reply: ``Hi Glenn, I checked 7555 kHz last night from here in Marahau, New Zealand, and while I couldn't see any DRM signal, I did see two adjacent narrower band digital utility transmissions. Vastly different strengths here, but the lesser one (lower in frequency) peaked up around 0730 UTC. The result did look very similar to a DRM signal, but was not. I wonder if that is what you spotted? Cheers, Chris -- Chris Mackerell, Sandy Bay-Marahau Road, Marahau, RD2, Motueka 7197, New Zealand chris@owdjim.gen.nz`` Maybe, but I don`t recall it being unbalanced, rather like normal DRM. This late the computer is closed down so I won`t be trying a remote to tune DRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2323 UT November 29 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/
