** CUBA [and non]. 5025, Nov 29 at 0448, R. Rebelde is on mixing music
and Spanish talk, only S9+10 and somewhat weaker than 5050 WRMI (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 870 & 1040, Nov 29 at 0440 & 0442, exactly the same
whooper/wobbler sounds overcoming WWL but undercoming WHO (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** DENMARK. 25800, Nov 29 at 1610, JBA carrier but the OSOB and thus
the SSOB, presumably one of very few 11mb broadcasters, World Music
Radio. It has been reported lately by others in N American mornings.
HFCC-registered as 10 kW ND, 24h; with 25795 & 28805 alternates in
case BBC or something muscle in on 25800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 21580, Nov 29 at 1615, JBA carrier, the SSOB & OSOB, i.e.
RFI in Hausa this hour; followed by a bihour of French, each on
slightly different SSE azimuths. 14m remains a grossly underutilized
band even near solar max: not a single broadcast HFCC registered to or
from the Americas, except for some irregular TDF DRM tests, or
MiniTransAt, if ever on 21660 at 15-16 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO [and non]. 740, Nov 29 at 0750, KRMG Tulsa with no rumbling
het on the minus side, nor noticed for a while now. Had been IDed as
XEQN Torreón, Coahuila. Maybe gone or finally on-frequency. IRCA
Mexican Log does not flag it as significantly off-frequency, but says
24h and hardly ever IDs. Need to check more earlier in evening.
MWoffsets shows 739.95 as of 2024-10-12, but sked 1200-0600. Was the
lowest of the low below 740. KRMG was only 0.8 Hz high as of
2024-11-22. One bimonth ago, I put XEQN on 739.97. Circa 0100 Nov 30,
South TX SDR gets nothing but KTRH, and Durango2 is useless on MW. At
0227 I check direct: KRMG in clear, no trace of XEQN het (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1390, Nov 29 at 0803, 1257, 1531 and 1721 UT chex, KCRC
Enid is OFF, unusual, truly a black Friday. Maybe something failed on
a holiday and no one notices or cares to fix it ASAP. Altho an
original Enid station, KCRC is now totally redundant, since Chisholm
Trail Broadcasting has put the same stupid sports programming on 1640
KZLS, the coverage area of which exceeds 1390, except 1390 has an
advantage westward from Enid; 1640 is from a site SSE of Enid, east of
Hennessey and direxional in order to reach the OKC market, while 1390
is from the studio location on Willow in northern Enid, three towers
in a row, and I`m glad not to be any closer to those than I am. See
UNIDENTIFIED for what else on 1390 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1670 kHz, Nov 29 circa 2015-2045 UT, surprised to find a
strong and steady signal here on the caradio: certainly no real 1670
radio stations capable of reaching here in broad daylight. X-banders
on 1660 KC and 1700 DFW are JBA. Playing rock music, disco, Xmasmx,
and soon ``Your friend Liam[?], with more music for you on Virtual DJ
Radio`` ! I am parked at the main intersexion in Enid of US 412 and US
81, a.k.a. Garriott & Van Buren. Nearby are CVS, Walgreen`s, and
Integris hospital. Then I drive away in all direxions, N, E, S and W,
and conclude it`s strongest just where I first found it. Steady so not
mobile. However, local line noise level varies widely from block to
block, which could skew my monitoring based on reception level. At
home, further away, is JBA vs my own high noise level. It seems this
is a thing, https://virtualdjradio.com/ -- but I seriously doubt site
will reveal where, when and why VDJR could be transmitted on 1670 in
Enid, so a pirate, or maybe qualifies as Part 15. Maybe will stay
during holidays so I could trace it better with DFing and S-meter on a
portable (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SIERRA LEONE [non]. 24975 & 24970 USB, Nov 29 at 1612, pileups of
US stations uttering nothing but their own calls over & over. Must be
hot DX on the lower frequency. DXHeat / DXCluster shows 9L5A on 24965
where I was not listening for it; QRZ.com: 9L5A Sierra Leone flag
Sierra Leone, Sierra Leone 2024 DXpedition by F6KOP, November 27 -
December 8, 2024, Sierra Leone, QSL: F5GSJ``, see:
https://9l5a.wordpress.com/ where their mascot is an hippo: ``Why a
hippopotamus on our logo? The pygmy hippopotamus is found in only 4
African countries including Sierra Leone. It is an endangered species;
a bit like us?`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Nov 29 at 2259, REE music continues thru 2300
timesignal, ID in Spanish and finally opening token English late, VG
direct. Also sufficient on 12030, audible on 17715, detectable on
17755. Preview topic to be about loss of faith in international law, a
week after the ICC issued warrants for arrest of Israeli and Hamas
leaders. And later, a book on Zionism on both side of Atlantic. 2302
into news leading with Valencia area still recovering a month after
disastrous floods. 2315 starting interview about `International Law
after Gaza` seminar, with someone visiting from Edinburgh? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Fri Nov 29 at 2258, NO signal direct from VOT English
for N America, nor later, nor at 2334 into UTwente, only Chinese. At
first JBA signal on 9610, but by 2334 at UTwente, only weak presumed
Mongolian. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 4095, Nov 29 at 0446, upward sweeps, i.e. the ``Desert
Whooper``, which also IDs as DW; unheard for quite a while and now JBA
vs local noise level (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2271 monitoring: confirmed first
SWBC, Friday November 29 at 1300 on WRMI 15770, JBA S7/S8 direct; hope
it`s better eastward and into target Europe.

Also confirmed Friday November 29 at 2130 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,
1322.997+, S8+ into UTwente. Also on WRMI webcast only.

Also confirmed Friday November 29 at 2300 on WRMI 9955, S9+20 direct
vs local noise level of S9+15/20; louder modulation would help.

Also confirmed Friday November 29 at 2330 on SW Radio, Germany,
3975.003+, S9+5/10 into UTwente.

WTWW 5085 still not on by 0220 Sat Nov 30, so going to miss another

** U S A [and non]. 9955, Nov 29 at 0453, WRMI with a song at S9+10
but just barely modulated, less than 9790 China via Cuba on this
occasion (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` check of WBCQs, UT Sat Nov 30 at 0046 into NH
SDR: 3265 OFF. 5130 lox onto something at minus 100/105 Hz, but
nothing audible to ear; must be something else. 6160 -71 Hz, S9+5/12
with TOMBS. 7490 -73 Hz, FKB at S9/+20. At 0100 on 7489.927, no
disclaimer about a repeat, which sometimes they do, often not, but
with opening `WTO` theme, it`s obviously a replay of last week,
exclaiming, ``Wake up! ... nothing like radio on a real transmitter
... Cathode!`` - so, never mind (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Nov 29 at 0431+:
774, 855, 882, 1053, 1305. All most likely SPAIN, including 882
CANARIAS which is more powerful than the peninsular ones (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1390, Nov 29 at 0804 UT in the absence of local KCRC,
one signal slightly atop the pileup, starting CBS News LATE with a
bong at 0804! Who would do that? Looking for C affils in NRC AM Log,
ONLY: WAVP Avon Park FL, U1 1000/77 watts; KJAM Madison SD, U1 500/62
watts; and KNCK Concordia KS, U1 500/54 watts, so most likely KNCK by
proximity. What do you bet whichever were on day power? KCRC remains
off all morning Nov 29, but at low noon 1832 UT when I get around to
checking for KNCK or anything else on 1390 into caradio, KCRC has
resumed (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6938, Nov 29 at 0458, AM carrier at S9+10/20, with tix
once per second, but no minute markers; no pirate broadcasts around
here now: so few of them operate that late (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
