Hauser
** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Wednesday November 30 I try to tune
remote for LRA36 from 1500, but my Internet is out! 1522 it finally
connex while I am on the phone waiting for Optimum to do something;
and RNASG is indeed on, into Argentine SDR, S5/S7 during song; 1524
``nos une`` ID, this-week-in-history; 1534 surprise, a few Vs in Morse
code apparently intro to some kind of promo, music; 1538.5 more
historical talk but dumps off air abruptly at 1543.6*, and nothing
more by 1619 when I quit. Also:

[WOR] All our LRA36 reports for 2022 so far --- Nov 28 at 6:28 PM
Exhaustive compilation of 2022 log reports of LRA36, almost? all from
gh and other WOR iog members:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Z6ksS06h9QgvCiYEiKKBq_1fCnfVjtXH/view

It starts with the Wikipedia entry still getting the FM frequency
wrong, 97.6 instead of 96.7. This was done by Tony Rogers of the
British DX Club as part of DX Guides, with Antarctica at the very
bottom of the Americas sexion:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pdZGhp9MCT_Yx3XmIASdwf1gV1Ug5P8p/view
What about previous years, and will this page survive into 2023? BDXC
made it clear I was not welcome to post my log reports to their
newsgroup, but I am glad they have found some use for them (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 2598 USB, Nov 30 at 0739 UT, marine weather by CCG roboYL
in English, S9+10, surprisingly much stronger than 2749 USB, sounding
like the same. Not so surprising, considering that altho further at
Placentia, NL, 2598 VCP-4 is listed as 3000 watts, first broadcast of
new day at 0737; while 2749 is VCO Sydney NS with only 550 watts from
0740. Each timeshares with several others on same frequencies. I would
love to hear the other further Canadians on 2514, 2582, but scheduling
is not favorable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, Nov 30 at 0737, S9/+10 of dead air: only Cuban SW
transmitter still on air. Something`s always wrong at RHC. The Other
Side:

``READ TODAY THE CUBA OF TOMORROW --- November 28, 2022 EMIGRATION
The Sinking of Cuban 'Rafters' by the Regime's Coast Guard: Arbitrary
Execution --- The Cuban regime flouts international protocols that
call for the protection of the victims of human trafficking.
LUCÍA ALFONSO MIRABAL | La Habana...``
https://diariodecuba.com/cuba/1669652767_43740.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, Nov 30 at 2211, no signal from RHC where English
sometimes appears sometime during this hour. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13605, 13673, 13809, 13789, all very approx., wideband
spurblobs, Nov 30 at 2212 out of RHC 13740 which is S9/+20, much
stronger than // 13680 not involved in these, at roughly 68 kHz
intervals out to second-order, but none detected at third-order spots.
Hints of programod when tuned in AM mode. Something`s always wrong at
RHC. The Other Side:

``An independent Cuban candidate wins the nomination for the upcoming
municipal 'elections' --- José Antonio Cabrera Parada has already been
visited by the political police, warns the Council for a Democratic
Transition in Cuba. DDC | Santiago de Cuba...``
https://diariodecuba.com/cuba/1669307150_43674.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, Nov 30 at 2157, S9+45 into UTwente of humbuzz, no
programod in English from R. Cairo where something`s always egregious
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI [and non]. 846 kHz, November 30 at 0744, no signal at
first, but JBA carrier at 0748 recheck, maybe just a fade rather than
off/on, and one should really listen for more than a few seconds. At
first the only other 9 kHz split is a slow beat on 855, likely Spains;
and at second there`s 711 kHz JBA carrier, likely Western Sahara
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Nov 30 at 0734, S8/S9 of dead air except for trace
of modulation, no doubt VON on signature strong off-frequency.
Something`s always abysmal at Abuja (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Nov 30 at 2307, token English feature after REE
news is about 69 worx of art smuggled out from Kyiv to an exhibition
in Madrid, VG S9+10/30 into Maryland SDR; just in time before missile
strixe. 2324 fills with stuff about a SBG player (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.018, Nov 30 at 2258, VOT IS & ID so English is on
today, S9+25/35 into UTwente, but I listen first to Spain, q.v. Back
to here at 2330, now there is big hum but otherwise good modulation,
and also CCCCCCI making fast SAH, since TRT is 18 Hz off-frequency.
`Weekly Commentary` about China and India, read by heavily accented
YL; 2341 closing inviting listeners to participate by email; ``always
by your side`` promo -- except when it`s absent! and song. 2344
`Feeling Supreme` same YL about herbal teas preventing coughs, with
recipes. 2352 s/off with full English schedule; 2354 IS loop; 2356
pause and restart, one ID in German before off*, clearing frequency
for Xinjiang/East Turkistan, std. denunciation (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2166 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday November
29 at 2330 on WRMI 9955, S9/+15 into Missouri SDR, with Cuban pulse
jamming already audible at 2328 as `Antena DX` from Panamá was ending.
But we manage to stay well atop the CPJ, S9+20 VG direct at 2348
check.

Also confirmed UT Wednesday November 30 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/20
into Missouri SDR but modulation slightly distorted.

Also confirmed Wednesday November 30 at 2200+ on WBCQ, 7490-, S9+15/20
into Maryland SDR. Next:

0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

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 [non]. 9330v, Nov 30 at 0732, no signal from WBCQ/WLCR.
What`s the matter now? Had been on reliably for a few days. Leaving
Cuban Spy Numbers in the clear.

9330-, Nov 30 at 2210, now it`s nominal, S9+35/45 direct in English
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085 et al., update from George McClintock about WTWW,
bearing his title, so maybe not done for yet?

``WTWW: Resurrection --- Bags and bags of junk have been removed from
the site. The forest in front of the building and under # 1 antenna
have been cut down and removed. A scrubber machine has cut the
remaining small bush to the dirt ground. Grass under #2 antenna is
currently being cut down. #2 antenna grass has been cut.

The sagging floor in the kitchen and bathrooms have been strengthened
and replaced with plywood. A new heating and AC unit has been
installed and keeps the house warm. A new washer and dryer are setting
on the deck waiting installation next week. All old carpet has been
removed and a new floor is scheduled for next week. The deck has been
one half pressure washed and is down to the natural wood. The other
half cleaning is scheduled for next week. The front door has dropped
down and is being fixed. A small crew is staying in the house to save
on motel expense. Light bulbs have been replaced and garbage/trash has
been removed from the transmitter building. AC unit filters which were
unbelievably dirty have been replaced. #3 transmitter outside filters
have rusted in place and had to be hammered out and replaced.

Transmitters 1 & 2 are running but await the water cleaner RESIN to
keep the eating of copper tubing up. Sacrificial rods are to be
replaced soon. All moving parts have been lubricated and working
correctly, for a change. Over one half of the transmitter light bulbs
are out and are slowly being replaced. One of the Harris SW100
transmitter #3 motors was removed and not replaced. We have a
replacement motor which is currently being installed.

More fixes in a later release. George McClintock 11-28-2022``

** U S A. Re my log of 1240, KNEM, Nevada MO, Wayne Heinen replies:

``Regarding KNEM/KNMO I received the reply below from GM Mike Harbit,
currently the 43rd edition reflects his statements. All three are
listed as Grp= Double K Country. 73 Wayne Heinen, N0POH, Editor, NRC
AM Radio Log, Aurora, CO.

“Hello Wayne, All three stations carry the same programming. There is
no such thing as Double K FM 99.9. Have no idea where that came from.
We do split off AM 1240, KNEM/99.9 at various times for game
broadcasts especially during the high school football and basketball
seasons when we are carrying multiple games at once. I'm going to
assume this is where the confusion comes from. I hope this answers
your questions. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks,
Mike Harbit, KNEM/KNMO-FM Radio, Nevada, MO”`` [undated] (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7890, Nov 30 at 0736, JJBBA carrier from R. Vanuatu X 2,
but inaudible on X 3 = 11835 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Hauser
RECEIVER PROBLEMS: my main rx, Icom R75, originally ``instant-on``,
began taking up to a minute to warm up several months ago and this has
increased little by little, so that now it takes almost 3 minutes. By
warm-up, I mean fully tunable. It seems to be receiving signals
without much delay; it`s the audio output to speaker or phones which
lags. I fear this may get worse and worse. Now am tempted to leave it
on for hours between sessions, but not sure which would be worse: more
on-and-off, or protracted on without use. Other annoying problem is
tendency of frequency keypad to bring up not only the one I punch, but
an adjacent number; or sometimes Enter before I am quite finished.
Any advice? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 10080, Nov 29 at 0315, RHC harmonic again, S5/S9, tnx to tip
from Jorge Freitas in Brasil, posted to WOR iog at 0310:

``10080 29/Nov 0304 CUBA Radio Habana Cuba. Same program as 11760.
Could be second harmonic of 5040, but 5040 doesn't have any signal
here or on SDRs. 73 Jorge Freitas, Feira de Santana, Bahia 12°14´S
38°58´W - Brasil, Tecsun PL-660, XHDATA, Antenna Delta Loop and LW 20
meters``

However, here, unlike my previous logs with nothing more than a JBA
carrier, fundamental 5040 is also to be heard louder, S7/S9, but
nothing on 11760. Propagation must be iffy. Harold Frodge was hearing
nothing in the Great Lakes - Michigan, unknown if referring to 10080
only or all three.

10050, Nov 29 at 0727 my next check, 10080 is off but 2 x 5025 Radio
Rebelde is on! S9/+10, and 5025 is back after a long absence, at
S8/S9. Then Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria, reported, via SDR Half Moon Bay CA,
assuming all these are ``BAUta 100 kW 083&263 to Cuba``:

``Radio Habana Cuba in Spanish/English/Spanish on 5040 khz & 2nd hx
10080 kHz via Bauta, November 29:
0519&0559 on 10080 Spanish/English. Good
0519&0559 on 5040 Spanish/English. Poor
from 0659 on 10080 Spanish is unscheduled. Good
from 0659 on 5040 Spanish is unscheduled. Poor

And assuming these are ``BAUta 100 kW / non-dir to Cuba``:
``Reception of Radio Rebelde in Spanish on 5025 kHz & 2nd hx 10050 kHz
via Bauta, November 29:
0715&0758 on 10050 Spanish. Very good
0715&0758 on 5025 Spanish. Weak/fair``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Nov 29 at 2007, RHC English again instead of break,
much better here S9/+10 than // supposed only frequency 15140. Too
bad, but 11760 gone before 2049 recheck. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 9955, Nov 29 at 1616, WRMI with anti-Communist rant in
Spanish, S9 vs NO jamming. Not // 11860 Martí. Another secret
broadcast of R. República? Yes, as 1624 talking about trabajadores,
and a ``paro nacional`` = general strike? 1625 ID with schedule on
9490 and 5800 but no other SW frequencies; 1628 now says also on La
Poderosa 670 = WWFE Miami, Sundays at 11 pm. Previous announcement
included some other nights but not every. 1629 resumes ``derecho al
trabajo`` subject. Checking again WRMI skedgrid, transmission hours
atop shows 9955 continuously with System B, while contradictorily,
SysB sked shows it ``internet only`` at these hours with no content
given!

9955, next check Nov 29 at 1904, still/again? anti-Communist rant in
Cuban Spanish, S7/S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, Nov 29 at 2133, R. Cairo, S9+35 into UTwente with
huge hum, just barely suppressed/distorted modulation, unreadable and
marginally recognizable as Englishish intonation. Something`s always
egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI [and non]. 846 kHz, Nov 29 at 0730, JBA carrier from R.
Kiribati; only other 9/kHz split JBA MW carrier is 774 at 0732 making
a slow beat of two signals, i.e. remnant of SPAINs (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. 5960, Nov 29 by 2308, no VOT signal into UTwente; nor
any East Turkistan either - until cut on *2311.4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13565, Nov 29 at 1604, JJBBA CW, surely the 1.8 milliwatt
HIFER beacon K6FRC in California; vs much stronger CODAR swirshes at
the rate of exactly twice per second (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. Among several 10m ham beacons, Nov 29 at
1910-1916, with listings from WI5V site, first two almost same
frequency:

28216.5, ID ID ID N7MA N7MA N7MA... slow rate:

BOTSWANA; 2000 VOA News but sesquiminute off the air amid at 2002.5*
to *2004; never very strong, now it`s weakened (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2166 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday November 29 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S5/S8 direct; S9/+10 into
Misssouri SDR but no signal into Winnipeg SDR. Next:

** U S A. 15770, Nov 29 at 2008, WRMI with Spanish program about the
disappeared R. Suecia, including lots of clips, some in English. It`s
`La Rosa de Tokio` as scheduled this hour Tuesdays. Sounds familiar;
altho `new`, I search out previous LRT publicity that R. Sweden would
be topic: weekends of 7/17/22, 12/26/21, 5/22/21, 6/21/20. Older ones
maybe different, but suspect reruns lately, never specified. I still
haven`t figured out what Tokyo Rose has to do with any of this. Direct
at first, it`s poor, but at 2050 into Maryland SDR, VG S9/+5.
9955, WRMI: See CUBA [non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7890, Nov 29 at 0729, JBA carrier from RV 2 X 3945; 11835,
JJBBA carrier on 3 X 3945 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6810, Nov 29 at 0725, JBA carrier, often noted but not
logged. If harmonic, possible fundamentals: 3405, 2270, 1702.5, 1362,
1135, 972.86, 851.25, 756.67, 681, 619.09, 567.5, 523.85 --- all of
which are very unlikely. Idle utility? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** 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

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)

** ALASKA. 6075, Nov 27 at 0801, KNLS opening English hour S9/+10,
introducing music to follow and features including `Creation Moment`,
as to be a good little Christian gospel huxter you`ve got to buy into
wacko creationism (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 7335, 7355, 7365, 7435, Nov 27 at 0745,
wall-of-noise/pulse jamming against nothing, hours after R. Martí has
signed off. Or in case of 7335, not used at all this Beason, but
almost QRMing WINB DRM 7325-7330-7335, q.v. Jamming sounds differ:
wall-of-noise on 7335, 7355; pulsing on 7365; faster rate and lower
pitch pulsing on 7435. Also still jamming noise on 6030 and 5980, the
latter QRMing the WWCR leapfrog mixing product of 5890 over 5935
weekends only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 11875.079V, Nov 27 at 0749, YL in unknown language S9 vs S7
noise level, slightly varying audibly as I try to measure it. Surely
not CRI listed during this hour, rather RFI in FUlani via ISSoudun at
0730-0800 along with MANdinka in previous semihour. Could well be same
defective transmitter as for R. República from 0100 on 9490+ (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Nov 27 at 0740, S8/S9 of dead air from VON. Amazing
how incompetent some stations are, can`t even tell if the transmitter
they run be modulating: either put some audio on or turn it off. And
VON is hardly the only one (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6920 USB, Nov 26 at 0040, vamping music very
repetitive, with occasional words; 0053 maybe ID unreadable in brief
pause, S5/S8 still past 0058. Several more logs as unID:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,105959.0.html
Seems I was getting better signal than most, reversal of usual
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2166 monitoring: confirmed UT
Sunday November 27 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9 into Maryland SDR, as
always on this frequency/System, starting with a self-imposed noise
burst overriding the first 10 seconds or so.

Also confirmed UT Sunday November 27 at 0416 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM,
Wentzville MO, S9+20 into nearby Warrenton SDR with some storm
crashes. Blitzortung shows a tiny storm in the MO Bootheel, larger
storm area from southern AL into the GoMex -- about 5 minutes into so
started early circa 0411. Next:

** U S A. 7325-7330-7335, Sunday Nov 27 at 0742, hybrid DRM, noise on
upper half, secret data beepery on lower half, so obviously WINB
rather than RRI or something. I thought WINBDRM were M-F only but EiBi
now implies daily 0700-0900, extended 0900-0930 M-F only. Almost QRMs
the Cuban jamming against nothing on 7335! q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 5920-5950, Nov 27 at 0800, WWCR with DGS so strong S9+40/50
that it`s splattering from 5935 out to plus/minus 15 kHz. Also 5980 as
leapfrog mixing product of 5890 TOMBS over 5935 another 45 kHz beyond,
fortunately jammed by Cuba unintentionally since Martí is on 5980
elsewhen (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, Nov 27 at 0747, JBA carrier from RV 3 X 3945;
stronger than 7890 = 2 X 3945, which is JJBBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat Nov 26 at 1501, best of Argentine
remotes is offline, but LRA36 JBA on a couple others, weaker S3 than
usual as it`s opening multi-lingual ID, 1505 theme song, 1521 still
on; one of the remotes with local QRhaM overload; 1528 ID, talking
about Chubut; 1540 ``su cía`` ID; 1546 martial tune but not played by
a band; cuts off the air at 1550*, so lasted quite a bit longer than
for first play on Wednesday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, Nov 26 at 0720, S9/+10 of dead air in English except
for some hum from RHC not turned off yet. Likewise on 6165 with
slightly less hum. No 5025 or 5040 carriers, nor 10050, 10080 loud
harmonix. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Nov 26 at 2111, S9+10/15 of dead air from RHC. After
English 2000-2100, supposed to continue until 2130 in French.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17700, Nov 26 at 2003, S9 open carrier; presumably VOA
French via Grimesland at 1900-2000 was modulated but not turned off
yet. How many $ $ do these burn per minute? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non]. 12075, Sat Nov 26 at 2050 music, no announcements
heard, stops at 2059, dead air to 2101*. VOA French via BOTSWANA
scheduled until 2100 Sat/Sun, -2130 M-F + Bambara -2200 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2166 monitoring: Jeff White tells
me that WOR will still be airing UT Saturdays at 0130 on 5850 only
following completely redoing the System F automation program.

Confirmed UT Saturday November 26 at 0500 on WBCQ Radio Angela, S9/+10
into Maryland SDR, 5130 minus 16 Hz = 5129.984. Tnx to Bill Tilford,
this has been one of our most reliable airings.

Missed checking Sat Nov 26 at 2030v on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, not tuned
in until 2111 back to ham stuff. Next:

** U S A. 15770, Sat Nov 26, WRMI: 2112 tune in to Spanish introducing
a national orchestra playing what sounds like an unfamiliar national
anthem; 2114 sporadic time signal? 2115 `SOS WRMI` fundraiser about
famous musicians who are hams.

A very contradictory and confusing display about 15770 on WRMI
skedgrids: 15770 transmitter shown as System H at 2100-2200, but the
System H sked skips that hour! The unlettered RAE sked shows 15770
blank every day except Sunday in Aleman. System E = TOMBS shows 15770
& 9455 at 2100-2200. System F also has 15770 including Sat 2100-2115 I
Love Italy, 2115-2130 Viva Miami. Presumably that`s what we are really
hearing, with SOS WRMI replacing some or all VMs (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Saturday Nov 26 at 2200, WRMI in Russian narration
with musical background, SFX, mentions Israel, bog/bozhe, apparently
Bible story semi-dramatized; while fluent, he seems to have an
American accent. Scheduled at 2200-2230 is `Your Story Hour` -- is
that Adventist program in such non-English languages? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, Nov 26 at 0729, and 7890 at 0738, JBA carriers from
harmonix of 3945 R Vanuatu (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
