** BENIN. 1476 kHz, Monday November 25 at 0417 I`m on 1475 USB for any hint of TWR s/on sked for 0419 M-F - but no trace of it thru 0420 on my E/W loop. Later into Canary SDR, at 0426 it is audible with hymnusic, S9+5 vs HNL there (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA. 2749 USB, Nov 25 at 0302 UT, marine weather by autoYL voice JBA in French. Least prior skedstart is 0240 for 1.5 sesquikW VCS-21, Halifax NS, her last bc of the day, but not labeled as other than English by dxinfocentre.com/mb/htm -- I hope this ref be really more recent than the header date, 2020-05-13. Still need to find the official CCG site for such info. Nothing audible now on the further NF/NL area frequency 2598 where the least prior skedstart would have been 0207, so over by now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA [non]. 9790, Nov 25 at 0317, CRI relay via CUBA, S9+10 in English but modulation is suptorted; at least better than last night. Still here on A24 channel instead of 5910 for B24 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. Since I`m DXing at 0408+ UT Monday November 25, I tune around for the semi?-mandatory weekly government program `La Hora Nacional`. 6185 does not have same programming as several MW stations. I start with 1050 XEG and then check for //s. Sounds like same show with W&M conversation, but nothing synchronized! Does each station get a prefeed to play back individually, not really a network? Others 730, 900, 1670 == and 1570 XERF which I time running 50 seconds behind XEG, when there is an obvious shift from talk to music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 267 kHz, Nov 25 at 0706 UT, JBA carrier, surely 25 watt ND beacon HET in HenryEtTa OK -- the only one on this frequency anywhere in the world per both RNA and dxinfocentre references. Right now not enough signal vs HNL and some local blob to copy the ID, but have succeeded many times before. Henryetta is S of Tulsa, E of OKC where US 75 intersects with I-40 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9610, Nov 24 at 2130, VOT English insufficient into UTwente, so will get the next broadcast: 5960.003-, Sunday Nov 24 at 2300, VOT English, S9+25/35 into UTwente with some hum and more CCCCCCI than usual, but doubtless far better than would have been direct, not even checked. S/on by Efsun the axentuated, and she into olds I do not try to perceive. 2317 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2319 It`s Teachers` Day in Turkey. 2320 `Weekly Analysis` by some Prof. Dr. at a Foundation whose names I can never copy, about prospects for the next 4 years of Trump. [why does everyone assume 4 years? He`s rather old with lots of enemies, obviously in mental decline, and OTOH, he said no further elexions would be needed, since by 2029 he`ll be dictator for the rest of his life, if any]. Says Pete is a devout Zionist; Marco is pro-Israel with no foreign-policy experience, etc. 2321 `Letterbox` with the other YL who has done it a couple times before, Sylvia? She`s all pro-forma with very quick shoutouts, acknowleding reception dates, promising QSLs and greetings; not dealing with anything substantial such as questions. No problem with an accent, but rapid speech of unfamiliar names along with fading and ChiCom QRM makes it hard to get names, or even be sure of which countries are called. 1) ??. 2) Pakistan? 3) W Bengal. 4) Port Alberni, Canada. 5) Oslo, Norway. 2331 song break padding. 2335, 6) India. 7) China. 8) India? Then about Nov 24 being Teachers` Day, with dedications, song. 2343 outro and `L`box` theme. How lame to pad with music, not even requested, during a mailbag show. Not enough incoming correspondence? 2344 music and moremusic. 2253 s/off as if the 1330: something`s always awry at Ankara. 2354 IS to 2355* uncovering the Chinese (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 6501 USB, Nov 25 at 0310, marine weather JBA. EiBi shows USCG timeshares by Guam, Kodiak, Honolulu, Chesapeake, but none at this exact time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2270 monitoring: Also confirmed Sunday November 24 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.998, S8.5 into UTwente, with pulse QRM from 1321 kHz.

WTWW: ``Glenn, #2 transmitter would not come on this Friday, because of low water level. A small leak not found yet but might be in the heat exchanger. John McClintock will open up the exchanger shortly and look to see if there is a leak in there. George McClintock 11-24-2024`` 5085 is on the air at 0154 check Nov 25 (Glenn Hauser, WOR) ** U S A. 7490-, Nov 25 at 0314, WBCQ with S9+30 of dead air. BTW, on `AAAWWW`, 9330 transmitter is referred to as WBCQ-6, but I never hear numbers assigned to any of the others. What are they? Which is which? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9955, Nov 25 at 0319, this WRMI is JBM with music. At best it is merely undermodulated. Can anyone measure the percentages? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 880 kHz, Nov 25 at 0407 UT, Spanish ID as ``Radio Visión Latina, 106.1 FM`` and canciones. Best on N/S antenna, while on E/W there is NYC QRM. Only one XE on 880 and it`s silent! There are several USSS on 880, but this must be U4 10/1 kW KJOZ Conroe TX, but for Houston market, in NRC AM Log with different slogan ``La Calle`` group, address in Pasadena, tropical format. That group is/was KJOZ plus three FM translators on different frequencies. However, WTFDA FMDB on 106.1 leads to K291CE relaying KJOZ 880 with 28/28 watts, ``Radio Vida Visión``. Broad search on ``Vision Latina 106.1`` also leads to Houston but with precious little detail, not even a callsign at https://visionlatina.com/ website. Apparently a TV group in a few major cities with radio as an afterthought (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** WESTERN SAHARA. 711 kHz, Nov 25 at 0426, Canary SDR is getting a good signal here, presumed active the Moroccan imperialist hi-power outlet, and with a het, in this case likely TA from CUBA 710, reverse of what I hear direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 5025, Nov 25 at 0305, JBA carrier, gone at 0321. Either Rebelde gave up or it were R.
