** CUBA. 13634 & 13766 approx., Nov 30 at 1526, RHC 13700 is putting
out these not very strong spurblobs on FM/AM/F#, none audible beyond.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS. 9905.030, Nov 30 at 1609, S4-S5 Chinese
talk so I bet it`s SAIPAN, well-known for frequency laxness. Yes,
exactly, this hour only on weekends, Radio Free Asia (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Ha ha, that is the only ``local`` signal (altho it claims to be on
channel 41 in faraway Ardmore); but Enid easily watches TV channels
from OKC with outside/rooftop antennas, or even carefully positioned
rabbit ears, distance roughly 65 miles. What do they know? If aim of
this site be to sell antennas, they are failing miserably. Seems to be
part of titantv listings (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 91.7, Nov 30, time not noted, one of the constantly
repeating promos for KOSU financial support mentions that, ahem, all
things considered, it costs $ 285 per hour for KOSU to operate. One
seldom hears such a figure from public -- or any -- radio stations, so
I wonder how it compare to others; and exactly how they computed it.
Presumably includes opcosts for relays KOSN, KOSR, translators (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U A E. 11655.116, Nov 30 at 1603, VP talk way off-frequency. Of
course, scheduled here at 1600-1630 only is IBRA Radio/Radio Ibrahim,
in Afar via dha where something is always wrong with their frequencies
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2010 monitoring: almost confirmed Saturday
November 30 at 2050 the 2030v on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, Wentzville MO. I do
have a JBA signal with talk rather like my ``monotone``, but blocked
by heavy local line noise which still infests this part of the

** U S A. 1010, Nov 30 at 0700 UT, ID for KBBW Waco and several FMs,
``Legendary 10-10 AM everywhere in central Texas``. KBBW night pattern
has two tight lobes at 160 and 290 degrees, hardly anything thisaway.
Day pattern not much better for us, very minor lobe at 350, broad
major lobe at 170. FCC info does not mention any translators or FM
affiliates. But website is headed:

``KBBW 1010 AM 105.7 FM 101.3 FM 100.3 FM - Life Changing .. kbbw.com
105.7 FM in Waco, 101.3 FM in Killeen-Temple,
100.3 FM in Georgetown-Round Rock-Cedar Park
and everywhere on the legendary 1010 AM.
Keep Boldly Believing the Word``
Yes, it`s 100% gospel huxtering. Website http://kbbw.com/ is nothing
but a program sked. See also unID 1010 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** VATICAN [non]. 5930, Nov 30 at 1520, Asian language at S6-S9. Aoki
shows it`s VR via USAGM Tinang, PHILIPPINES, in Malayalam; thus
violating Separation of Church and State (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1010, Nov 30 at 0659 UT just before full ID for KBBW
Waco TX, q.v., I hear another ID sounding like KGJO -- but no such
listing nor anything fuzzily similar to be found in NRC AM Log, or FCC
AM Query. Nor is there any such call on FM in case that were a
reference. Ideas? (Glenn Hauser, OK,, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1521, Nov 30 circa 1840 UT = local mean noon, ~1 kHz het
upon 1520 KOKC, on caradio, but it`s fleeting. IIRC last winter there
were signs of this in broad daylight, and it seemed not inconceivable
that with low winter suns, the two megawatts from Sa`udi Arabia could
be skywaving such a trace this far, this early. But then there`s that
other off-frequency American, much closer (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6030, Nov 30 at 1521, JBA carrier -- could it be CFVP
reactivated? Other 6030s active at this time per Aoki:
6030 1430-1530 IND AIR VOICE OF KASHMIR Kas Delhi (King 1-7
6030 0900-1805 CHN CNR 1 (DRM) 3FF Chi Beijing 572 1-7

6030 1100-1530 ETH Radio Oromiya Afa Addis Ababa 17
6030 1530-2000 ETH Radio Oromiya Afa Addis Ababa 1-7
Of those, I suppose Delhi most likely (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** AFGHANISTAN [non]. 15640, in last report that`s Radio Azadi, not
typo Axadi (gh)

** CUBA. 9620-9660, Nov 29 at 2222, RHC Spanish 9640 with buzz noise
extending out to this range; worst peaks below plus/minus 13 kHz.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** INDIA. 9445, Nov 29 at 2220, English interview with Indian accents,
AIR as scheduled, partially readable at S5-S9; also DRM noise
7545-7550-7555 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA SOUTH. 9095, Nov 29 at 2217 weak talk presumed Korean from
Echo of Hope on this week`s jumparound frequency. Fortunately, since
right above it 9095 past 9100 is some kind of noise, perhaps jamming
if not DRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 33, Nov 29 at 2203 UT, exploring the OKC DTV
subchannels, I find that KOCB now runs Dabl on 34-4! Despite the fact
that RF 27 KFOR has already been carrying DABL on 4-4 from its outset
in September. Yes, now on two non-co-owned stations in the same city,
but one with PSIP all-CAPS, the other not. At this time both with
Martha Stewart show --- can never get enough of her! How can this
happen? Net`s own website
https://www.dabl.com/locations
still shows KFOR only! (And the search by zip code funxion goes
nowhere for 73101 or 73701; have to keep loading more till we get to
Oklahoma.) A quick look thru the list does not find another city with
two affiliates other than primary and translator. Rabbitears.info does
show Dabl correctly on both in OKC. IMHO, Dabling on just one is a
waste of spectrum (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, Nov 29 at 2353, R. Chaski carrier quite audible vs
Cuban wall-of-noise jamming against nothing else; and for the fourth
night in a row its autotimer cutoff has slipped another 2 seconds
earlier to: 2355:21* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 1521, Nov 29 at 2210, already hearing a +1 kHz het
upon 1520 KOKC; in fact two hets of different pitches, the other one
perhaps KRHW in MO as previously discussed. From 2229 I am listening
intently, isolating the 1521.0 carrier by tuning to 1520.8-USB. It
goes off sometime between 2231 and 2232, but can`t tell exactly when
as KOKC is splashing some music that minute; must be an ad during talk
format. Bruce Conti, NH, in NRC IDXD had timed the cutoff exactly
twice, which is what I am trying to match:

``1521 SAUDI ARABIA SBC R.Riyadh, Duba OCT 12 2215 - Good; talk and
music parallel 9555 and 9870 kHz. 1521 off at 2231:40 UTC after solemn
talk with soft orchestra music. OCT 19 2230 - Good; off at 2231:40.
[Conti-NH]`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 11720, November 29 at 2150, I finally remember to tune in
VOA`s `Music Time in Africa` before it`s over, its only chance via
Grimesland NC during B-seasons Fridays at 2100-2200 now here instead
of 15580, and a VG signal almost directly off the back. The last
dekaminute at least: an archive segment of polyphony from the Pygmies
of Central African Republic. Hyper Heather Maxwell refers us to the
website for thousands of archived songs: voanews.commtia-archive ---
she says, yes, ``backslash`` instead of forwardslash, altho it makes
no difference and calling it ``slant`` as I do is far less menacing
and more euphonious. In fact that url autoconverts to:
https://www.voanews.com/mtia-archive
with a forwardslash. Her closing announcement still fails to mention
this very time among the several for her program. Yankee-Doodle-Dandy
sign-off is cut off before it can finish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2010 monitoring: confirmed first
SWBC, Friday November 29 at 2300 UT on WRMI 9955: exactly like the
previous weeks since standard time replaced 2200 UT, initially JBA
beneath heavy wall-of-noise Cuban jamming even tho there is no exile
programming now, let alone anything in Spanish. BUT noise steadily
abates as WRMI strength seems to simulgrow audiblizing me by the
middle of the intro, clear enough by 2303, and totally clear of
jamming in only a few more minutes. By 2326 it`s good S9+10, and I
notice concluding several seconds before 2329 implying that playout
started before 2300:00 when I could not hear whether anything was
upcut.

Also confirmed UT Sat Nov 30 at 0147, the 0130 on three WRMI
frequencies, 5850 VG >> 5010 fair >> 7780 VP. At this time I daresay
that I have better coverage than AW does on WBCQ: see separate report;
as I tuned over here to check me during his show. Note: it was not my
idea for us to be on simultaneously. Next:

1300 UT Saturday WRMI 15770 to NE
2030vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM
0400vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0415]

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9330, 7490+, 5130-, Nov 30 at 0030, WBCQ is VP on all three,
and no signals on 6160+ or 3265-, so I don`t even try to hear `AAAWWW`
on SW, rather webcast. At 0100 transition to Studio 9 in DeLand of
FLA, there is again several seconds of noise/feedback? before WTO
theme start. First half hour is almost continuous monolog; first about
sharing one good mic from the 1930s instead of the no-good wireless
mics last time; then about chemtrails/contrails --- unlike Angela, it
seems Allan is not convinced by the conspiracy theories about them.

(Altho I do not allege serious health effects or government
malfeasance, I am concerned about all the jet exhaust over Enid from
Vance leading to a buildup of greasy dust even inside; and TG if two
of them had to crash recently, they were near the base runway instead
of within the city of Enid! -- gh)

Then AW rants about bikers refusing to muffle their noise, as some
kind of macho nonsense --- something else I can agree with him upon!
Not until about 0130 does he morph into insulting 535 members of
Congress and ``moonbats`` when I tune away; as many listeners could
then productively hear relatively apolitical WOR on WRMI, WRMI or
WRMI, q.v.

Checking WBCQ SW again at 0140, I find that 7490 has improved to P-F;
9330 is *not* carrying AAAWWW as expected but WLC gospel huxtering in
English; 5130 is now arriving even better than 7490 so I monitor there
for a while; not until 0141 does he timestamp this show as live, 29
November, YOOL 2019. He does not know if he`s on any frequency besides
7490 (what became of the othershow for weeks this hour on 5130?)

He says a bit about the S-S: now full 23 hpd sked (well, not this
morning, when off for a few hours), with break at 22-23 UT for
maintenance at discretion of operators. Will stick to 9330 only this
winter, go up to some higher frequencies with spring. Lauds his big
crew in Monticello by name, but still looking for more operators and
engineers knowledgeable about high-power/voltage, and is now hiring,
starting with job interviews, why in the world would they want to
live at the end of the world in winter? Says the output tube costs
$ 210,000 and takes 15 minutes for the filament to warm up.

No time is available on the S-S, WLC exclusive, but plenty time on the
other ``classic`` transmitters. 6160 reconditioned, would like to rent
it to some network for 4-8 hpd at a much reduced bulk rate. S-S at 500
kW output consumes like a million watts for a huge power bill more
than a classic would in 10 years (? not sure of that as 5130 is
fading). 0153 he`s reading some Free Radio Weekly pirate logs, just
received from cosmikdebris? At 0156 I switch back to webcast: talking
about tango music this Sunday on program #776 --- was that e-mail from
from `Marion`s Attic`? At 0200 sharp, canned AW ID cuts off live AW
still talking, making way for Hal Turner. Don`t know what ensued
exactly on the SW frequencies.

Here`s John Carver`s quite similar report:

Tonight's show started just a bit late. Could only find a signal on
5130 and wasn't sure if I was hearing a new show or not as the date
wasn't announced till nearly half way through the program. Program
opened with lots of moaning about microphones and how they were down
to just one mic in the Florida studio. Then Allan recounted a tale of
two wireless mics he bought from Ebay for forty some dollars apiece
and stated that they worked like forty dollar mics and had been
trashed. Then some talk from Angela about a conversation she had with
her father yesterday about chemtrails. Prompting Allan to read an
article from Wikipedia on the subject. Allan says they're harmless,
Angela said they're harmful. Then they were talking about motorcycles
without mufflers which started Allan talking about trying to run an
antique automobile without a muffler and how upset people would be if
they weren't muffled.

After a couple other topics, Allan announced that WLC had taken over
the superstation and their programming was now running twenty-three
hours a day. He stated that for most of the winter they would remain
on 9330 and try the other frequencies when it was closer to spring. He
again issued a plea for anyone with engineering experience that wanted
a job to contact him as they could use them for the superstation. He
also announced that they were broadcasting the program on 7490 and
that he didn't believe they were on any other frequency. I had no
signal on 7490, 6160 or 3265 and the only signal I could find was
5130. 9330 has WLC.

In station news he said there was lots of free time available on 7490.
Said they had lots of requests to lease time on 9330 but he would
lease no time on that frequency. He talked briefly about the work done
on the 6160 transmitter earlier this year and said he wanted a network
to take over that transmitter. Said that there was still lower prices
on 5130 and didn't mention 3265 at all. He also stated that the
superstation used as much power in a day as a normal home would use in
ten years or longer.

Started reading last week's Free Radio Weekly at 0154 and then went
into regular emails. Program was cut off in mid-sentence at 0200 and
5130 immediately went into a rerun of an earlier AAWWW. John,
Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** AFGHANISTAN [non]. 15640, Nov 29 at 1427, good signal sounds like
Farsi, cut off at 1430*. Aoki shows it`s Dari from Radio Axadi via
VATICAN at 1400-1430. Same service a.k.a. Radio Free Afghanistan at
0630-1400 alternating Dari and Pashto is via Kuwait, unlikely to serve
us so well (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ALGERIA. 576, Nov 29 at 0445, JBA carrier with 1 kHz tone, also
detected as separate carriers on 575 and 577, presumed Béchar testing.
Have any Europeans triangulated this yet to be sure? Not specifically,
but just posted to bdxc-news iogroup at 1750 Nov 29:

``New Algerian MW Station on 576 kHz --- Hi, The tone tester heard
these latest days on 576 has become a new broadcasting service from
RTA (Algeria). Broadcasting started today 29th in the afternoon from
Kenadsa (Béchar) according to MW List details. The power listed is 400
kW. They were airing Radio Bechar program (not // with Chaîne 1), but
probably they will connect to RTA-Ch1, as other stations do with R.
Coran, R. Culture and so on.

According to some listeners in Murcia (Spanish southeastern coast), is
causing interferences to RNE-R5 Murcia on 567, from this evening.
Perhaps it will affect this station during the night and maybe also
576 kHz RNE-R5 Canaries (CNR). The station reaches now, here in
Northern Spain a 54444/5 SINPO. 73! -- Jorge Garzón. EB7EFA -

Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 401 kHz, Nov 29 at 0758 UT, dash and YHD, 500-watt NDB in
Peawanuck, Ontario. See also CAYMAN.

396 kHz, Nov 29 at 0759 UT, dash and YPH, 500 watt NDB at Inukjuak,
Quebec; a new one for me, so look up that place: it`s on the east
shore of Hudson Bay, 2845 km = 1768 statute miles from me. ``Inukjuak
is a northern village located on Hudson Bay at the mouth of the
Innuksuak River in Nunavik, in the Nord-du-Québec region of northern
Quebec, Canada. Its population is 1,757 as of the 2016 Canadian

** CAYMAN ISLANDS [and non]. 415 kHz, Nov 29 at 0758 UT, ND beacon CBC
from Cayman Brac, best way to hear this country rather than random
hams. 600 watts and I was tuned to 414-USB. Right next door to 413
dash and YHD, 250 watts in Dryden, Ontario, which are 3537 km apart
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [non]. 5040, Nov 29 at 0035, no signal from RHC but a JBA
carrier, presumably the only other known 5040, All India Radio,
Jeypore from 0025. Even weaker than the JBA carrier on 5060 from
presumed Xinjiang. 5040 RHC still off at 0521. Something`s always

** GUATEMALA. 4055, Nov 29 at 0743, S9+10 open carrier with hum,
surely TGAV Radio Verdad has failed to turn off its transmitter after

** PERU. 5980, Nov 28 at 2355:23* UT, carrier cut by Radio Chaski
under wall-of-noise Cuban jamming despite no OCB. Previous two nights
this happened 2 or 2.5 seconds later each, so a trend is developing of
slightly earlier cutoffs per 24 hours (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF

** PHILIPPINES. 9335, Nov 29 at 1513, clip of Drumpf pardoning turkey,
back to Myanmarianese once this vital news has been imparted, i.e. VOA

** SPAIN. 684, Nov 29 at 0447, among all the JBA 9-kHz TA carriers,
some Castilian-sounding audio here from RNE Sevilla; and at 0448 also
on weaker 774 RNE synchros music, then talk (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 6125, Nov 29 circa 0454 tuneby, no TRT after English but
lite Cuban pulse jamming now audible almost an hour after OCB
finished, so must have QRMed VOT. But tuning back across at 0456, VOT
is back on! with IS, 0458:15 & 0459:15 interspersed IDs as ``Suara
Radio Turki``. 0500 timesignal 3 seconds late! and opening Malay
service mentioning ``gelombang`` = wavelength.

Trouble is, the 0500 Malay service is supposed to be on 17530! which
might propagate over a day path unlike 6125 to W North America. How
lucky we are to hear this, if not the Malays. Recheck at 0512, 0525
still on 6125; frequent IDs as above, and at 0514 during the mandatory
multi-lingual ID reel. Something`s always wrong at Emirler (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 395 kHz, Nov 29 at 0800 UT, ND beacon ULS --- I bet it`s
Ulysses, Kansas. Yes; 25 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
see also CANADA; CAYMAN

** U S A. 15740, Nov 28 at 1923, S9+20 open carrier; no doubt
Grimesland B warming up for *1930 start on 15730, in order not to
clash with Botswana site occupying 15730 until 1930* as VOA French
continues (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9330.00, Nov 29 at 1512, WBCQ-6 is off again, despite
nominal 23 hpd sked except 22-23 UT. Earlier I had tuned across poor
signal southward in Spanish but unlogged, circa 1330? Anyhow it`s back
on at 1828 poor during WLC German (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 3215, Nov 29 at 0753, S9+10/20 of dead air except for some
hum and squeal from WWCR-1, much more pleasant listening than Brother
HyStairical. Does he get a refund? Is it Stair`s fault or theirs?

** U S A. 1520, Nov 28 at 2230 UT as I am chasing the Sa`udi het from
1521 vs KOKC, other skywave QRM with partial ID mentioning two FM
frequencies, 92.3 and another in the 100s. Nonesuch listed at 1520 in
the NRC AM Log, but in the WTFDA FM Database, among all the USA 92.3
listings, searching on 1520 there is one hit which is quite
reasonable:

``W222BG, WHOW-1520, 92.3, CLINTON IL, 0.25, 62.0, 40-05-43 88-57-51,
NEWS/TALK/FARM NEWS RADIO 1520 //W293DJ 106.5``

Back to the NRC AM Log which does match WHOW with 106.5 but not 92.3,
and there is no Group cross-ref. WHOW is a D3 direxional daytimer of
5000 watts, rather only 1000 during Critical Hours: ``The Big 1520 AM
and 106.5 FM``.

But FCC AM Query shows it non-direxional both daytime and CH; and Nov
sunset is 2245 UT (Dec: 2230 UT). Thus the synergy of these three
major references (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 3344.92, Nov 29 at 0750, no signal today unlike
ante-yesterday. Ron Howard replied: ``Hi Glenn, Your 3344.92 was a
utility, which just happened to be on the former Ternate and PNG
(NBC Northern, the Voice of Oro) frequency. On Nov 26, utility still
being heard with a good level carrier 1506+. Ron, California``. BTW,
Ternate is on the west coast of Sulawesi (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4966.75-USB approx., Nov 29 at 0520, 2-way in tonal
language (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9130, Nov 29 at 1310, low audible het between two
stations talking. Not an active frequency for SOH or anything in
latest Aoki, but could well be a new one already CNR1 jammed (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15202.17-USB, Nov 29 at 1511, 2-way in Spanish INTRUDERS
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
