** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat Nov 12 at 1456 nothing yet into
Argentine SDR from LRA36, but it cuts on at 1458.6 midsong at S5/S7 --
but cuts off the air already at 1505.4 before anything be spoken.
Usually it never comes back, so after 1508, I suspend, as anyway it`s
breakfast time. However, 1526 recheck it`s back on talking about a
fiesta `tomorrow`; 1530 about folklore and 1536 el costumbre argentino
de fútbol; same stuff heard on Wed Nov 9; 1553 ``nos une`` ID; 1556
about Córdoba province; 1600 music; 1603 ID with ``Nacional, la radio
pública``; 1617 again about the fiesta, will report about it next
week; 1618 song; 1622 ID with staff names, which funxions as s/on/off
without any explicity, a bit more music to 1623* (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** BRAZIL. 5938.313, Nov 12 at 0726, Brazuguese, R. Voz Missionária
facilitated by a weakened 5935 WWCR as ``skip is long``. So I measure
their other frequency too and find it unstable, varying audibly circa
9664.03, S7/S9 just as at 0731 ID for ``5940`` with its power.

9664.10, Nov 12 at 2246, RVM in Portuguese at S9+20 with het (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 28447 USB, Nov 12 at 2227, PP5BT calling CQDX; QRZ.com:
PP5BT Brazil flag Brazil
Rodrigo Gonçalves, Rua Alfonso Nicolao Bornhofen, 163, Blumenau, SC
89032452, Brazil -- among several DX phone sigs on 10m, but no beacons
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 9900, Nov 12 at 2247, double Chinese echo, S9+15 = CNR1
jammers against RTI. No sign of Cairo (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, Nov 12 at 2230, no signal from RHC where English used
to be, nor found anywhere else in scans of all bands.

11850, Nov 12 at 2242, S7/S9 of dead air except for some hum, maybe
trace of modulation, usual for this RHC Spanish frequency.

13608 approx., Nov 12 at 2235, extremely distorted RHC Spanish
wideband spurblob, FMish with F# tone. Then I look for others: 13673,
S9+12; 13808-13811, 13887 weak. Source has to be only active AM
transmitter on band, 13740, which is clear at S9+20. Displacement
range is 67-73 kHz and multiples. Somethings` always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA SOUTH [non]. 9870, Nov 12 at 0735 expressive M&M conversation
in Korean, so informal it could not possibly be from the North: yes,
it`s KBSWR at 07-08 via Woofferton UK. Caught one English word go by,
``invisible`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MALDIVES [non]. This explains my hearing Chinese on 11620 a while
ago at 1500+ -- mixed up with their simulservice on 7630, likely same
secret site. Nothing is listed anywhere near 7630.

``TVOM Voice of the Martyrs - Chinese program (site?), on 7630, on Nov
11; 1452 UT - Open carrier; 1459 - Music, followed by ID "Nǐ xiànzài
shōutīng xùndào zhě zhī shēng diàntái, TVOM xùndào diàntái zhōngwén
jiémù" (Google translation - "You are now listening to the Voice of
the Martyrs Radio, TVOM Martyr Radio's Chinese program");
thanks very much to Amano for providing the ID and also thanks to
Hiroyuki Komatsubara and Mauno Ritola, who both worked to ID this
station.

TVOM Voice of the Martyrs - Chinese program:
*1500-1530* 7630 kHz --- *2100-2130* 7630 kHz
Ron Howard, California`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 13755, Nov 12 at 0738, RNZP S8/S9 with music in
`Saturday Night` show, much better than last night (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7254.935, Nov 12 at 0634, VON S9/+10 direct but JBM, first
time heard for quite a while; tnx to Manuel Méndez report that it was
on today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950 USB, Nov 12 at 2232, S8/S9 pirate rocker vs
noise level of S7/S8. Multiple reports here of R Free Whatever:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,105260.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6935 USB, Nov 12 at 2233, pirate rocker at S7/S8:
Mushroom Head Radio (Zeke) per many reports here:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,105261.0.html
2251 recheck, DJ is yelling (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Re KWTV blocked on Optimum cable: ``Glenn, the "floating
rectangle" on color bars question has previously come up. It is there
to provide motion to the test pattern, assuring that the (digital)
video is not frozen. Stephen Luce, Houston, Texas`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.63 AM, Nov 12 at 2224, local S9+34 carrier, Enid CB
pirate with JBM relay of 97.7 `The Hawk` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2164 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday November 12 at 0130 on WRMIs: into KFS SE antenna SDR in
California, 5850 VG S9+15/30, and 15770, S9+5/25.

Also confirmed UT Saturday November 12 at 0500 ex-0400 on WBCQ Radio
Angela, S9/+10 into Maryland SDR.

Also confirmed Saturday November 12 at 1700 on WRN N America webcast.

Also confirmed Saturday November 12 until 2103.5 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM,
MO, so started circa 2034, S9+20 into nearby SDR.

Also confirmed Saturday November 12 at 2100 on WRN stream for Europe,
but *not* to N America, rather KBS World Radio, which on the A22
schedule still displayed, was at 2200 UT. I have enquired about this
contradictory info. This also calls into question what happen 24 hours
later on Sunday; and for the other listed airing which was at 1230 UT
Sunday; now 1330, or what? Next:

0030 UT Sunday WRMI 7780 to SW

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7490v), UT Sat Nov 12 after 0100, WBCQ webcast of `AAAWWW`,
elexion discussion, so not a repeat, politix I can forego, so recheck
at 0142 datestamp as 11 of Nov, YOOLF 2022, trimulcasting on 7490,
6160 and 5130; 0147 some items from Free Radio Weekly which he and I
have just received from this week`s editor, Larry Will. 0148 he
mentions me who ``doesn`t have a life`` -- or was it, wife?? in
response to my numerous non-logs of SuperStition 9330 -- problem seems
to be computer control which could not bring up the high voltage.
Rails against c.c. of transmitters rather than traditional analog
electro/mechanical operation. Unfortunately, AW has moved his show one
hour later so it conflicts with WOR already at 0130 on WRMI 5850 &
15770 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 12160, Sat Nov 12 at 1800, WWCR with `Talking [sic] Machine
Show`, mostly ancient cylinder-recorded music. One episode starts,
then cut to a different episode restart. New sked dated Nov 6 still
shows this the only airtime on the 4 transmitters available 24/7.
Surely could be fit in as filler elsewhen. One of few shows ever worth
hearing on WWCR, and certainly the only one of their own produxions.
Ex-1700 during DST season (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260 & 5040, Sat Nov 12 at 0638, no signal from RV on
either likely fundamental. At 0737, no signals either on harmonix 7890
& 11835. Gary Pence agrees, nothing at 0752 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5814 USB, Nov 12 at 0724, JBA 2-way not Spanish, maybe
Portuguese or Italian (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0026 UT November 13

** CANADA. 2749-USB, Nov 11 at 0725 UT, two different stations, same
YL robovoice with marine weather in English, QRMing each other at same
level; sometimes a few seconds apart, othertimes not matching. My
first log of the season of Coast Guard broadcasts. Checking
https://www.dxinfocentre.com/mb.htm
this frequency applies only to Metarea 4, but nothing scheduled at
this hour, the closest being VCO Sydney NS, 550 watts from 0740z in
EE/FF. They do switch to French with a ``securité`` advisory, so maybe
a special transmission; and then both are gone at 0727*. The other
stations on frequency which are supposed to alternate at numerous
times rather than clashing! are VAR-9 at Yarmouth(Halifax), VCN at
Escoumins, and VCS-21 Halifax. This info may be outdated as top of
page is dated 2020-05-13. Nothing on the NL-area channel now,
2598-USB. Hepburn replies ``Most likely a warning broadcast on
receipt. William`` --- so I guess with such urgency they don`t care
whether they QRM each other or not --- but rather self-defeating. I
hope everyone survived (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 9330, Fri Nov 11 at 0716, dead air soon occupied by
Spy Numbers, so WBCQ/WLCR is off again (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, Nov 11 at 0720, S7/S9 open carrier with hum, must be
lingering RHC, and on no other frequency. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY [non]. 7295, Fri Nov 11 at 1817, IRRS via Bulgaria with
`Radio Curious` interview about ``tapping my own phone``, in the spot
where WOR used to be; as heard via UTwente. Rather than fragment,
occupies full semihour until 1846 PSAs for SmokeyBear and COVIDmasks,
1847 Willie Nelson, ``I`ll Fly Away`` and more music. Here it is:
http://www.radiocurious.org/2022/11/04/ron-whitehead-sarah-elizabeth-beat-poets-of-kentucky-2
1854 birdcalls open `TUC Radio` which is bound to be chopped off
shortly, at 1857* but carrier and loudulation from CGTN Radio start on
7295 already at *1856; 1858 with US stock market info! (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** MALI. 15125, Nov 11 at 1616, S9/S8 with romantic song or hymn? but
in Chinese. By 1620 YL in Arabic. This is CRI Arabic via Bamako at
16-17, 100 kW at 85 degrees, to be followed at 17-18 by Swahili at 111
degrees. Yet it`s the SSOB comparable only to 15140 Cuba less
modulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 13755, November 11 at 0713, JBA carrier no doubt the
new frequency of RNZP, ex-13730 which had interference problems, as
frequency manager Adrian Sainsbury had notified us a few hours before.
Unfortunately conditions are very bad tonight with nothing else on 13
MHz band, making this the OSOB and SSOB! I was hoping he could justify
going down to 11 MHz band which would be better for the extra N
American audience beyond. Website sked now:

06:59-12:58 13755 AM from 11 Nov Pacific Mon - Sun
08:59-12:58 13755 AM from 11 Nov NW Pacific Vanuatu Solomon Isl PNG
Mon - Fri

Thus on Mon-Fri only the last four hours are on a dual/split antenna,
both NNE and NW, so the signal may be weaker thisaway? HFCC azimuths
are 35 and 325 degrees. 13755 no doubt chosen as an open frequency,
however with considerable Asian adjacencies on 13750 & 13760 tho not
audible here, yet, anyway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 25, KWTV-DT ``9``, CBS from OKC, UT Friday November 11
from 0430 UT is just fine direct to my antenna, fortunately, since
``Optimum`` ex-Suddenlink cable has replaced it with tone and color
bars, the 3/4 variety, with a floating white rectangle in the center!
Thus subscribers without antennas are deprived of Colbert, `Late Show`,
then the `Late2` show and beyond, still not restored by 0700 when we
quit; but back the next morning. No other OKC channels appeared to be
blocked on cable. What could explain this? And the floating rectangle?
And how could one calculate the value of such an outage to claim a
rebate? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 12030, Fri Nov 11 at 2315, token English from REE is
interviewing someone who is campaigning to Free the Dolphins from
captivity in aquaria and zoos - no excuse, they are not endangered and
such intelligent beings should not be encarcerated. At the end her
name sounds like Olivia Malo? or Mandel? I`m listening off the back of
the ME beam which is reaching Maryland SDR just fine. So is the NAm
frequency 9690 but there is heavy clicking QRM over it, like OTH
radar: see UNIDENTIFIED (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Nov 11 at 2330, VOT in `Feeling Supreme` with some
kind of advice; 2339 `Did You Know That`, something about Atatürk. VG
modulation this time and S9+30/40 into UTwente, but with some CCI from
understation, PBS Xinjiang, East Turkistan, land of imperialist ChiCom
genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems. 2352 sign-off now has the
UTimes correctly. 2354 fragment of IS, and off* uncovering XJPBS
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2164 monitoring: confirmed first
broadcast, UT Friday November 11 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9 but JBA in
high local noise level. I hope the signal be usable somewhere,
presumably on antenna aimed SW from FL, like Central America where
there are no SDRs to check it. Also, as always on this System,
starting exactly the same time as WOR playback is a loud noise burst
atop for about 15 seconds, obviously a defect at WRMI.

Also confirmed Friday November 11 at 1530 ex-1430 on WRMI 9955, S9/S5
and no jamming audible; off the air after 1600.

Also confirmed Friday November 11 at 2130 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,
1323 kHz, S9+10/15 into nearby Noale SDR with little QRM except for a
fast SAH. Preceding show was `Shortwave Report` from California, but
chopped off before final item could complete, IRRS ID and WOR. Next:

0130 UT Saturday WRMI 5850 to NW, 15770 or 7730 to NE

** U S A. 15750-15755-15760, Nov 11 at 1617, WINB DRM, now with DRM
noise on the lower half, other secret beepery on upper half, opposite
of usual configuration. Then after 1630 I try to decode it via Kansas
City SDR, but not enough signal to hear. Does display: ``1AAC (1001))
WINB EE? audio 8.28 kbps``

This flip was originally reported Oct 26: ``There are two separate
elements when tuning through the digital WINB signal: The DRM "roar"
as well as a "buzzwhine" that is presumably the trading data. For
quite some time the DRM was on the low frequency side of the signal,
but on recent checks it is now on the high side, as the two
datastreams have swapped places. Wonder why? Stephen Luce, Houston,
Texas`` To which I replied at that time: ``??? As far as I have
noticed the DRM roar has always been on WINB`s high side`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Regarding WTWW and Scriptures for America, I came across
this rather negative resumé about SFA and PPPP, altho it does not get
into the SW broadcasting angle:
https://www.encyclopedia.com/politics/legal-and-political-magazines/scriptures-america

Also, characterizing SFA as ``owner`` of WTWW may have been an
exaggeration. Wikipedia goes into its history, already in the past
tense with latest developments of Nov. 9-10, 2022:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WTWW

Pertinent excerpts: ``...programming from the Scriptures for America
broadcast network, part of a long-term leasing agreement that
continued throughout WTWW's existence.[citation needed]``

``Owner --- Ted Randall and Holly Misslin (Leap of Faith, Inc.)``

However: ``I am President of Leap of faith, Inc. owner. George
McClintock, 11-11-2022``, he tells me.

WRTH 2022 page 511 lists the ``L.P.: Pres (Leap of Faith, Inc.) George
V. McClintock; Engineer: Ted Randall``. So it looks like a
long-running 2- or 3-way power struggle (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9666-9696, Nov 11 at 2310, loud rapid clicking is QRMing
heavily English from REE SPAIN q.v., as received not only by Maryland
and Virginia SDRs, but at least as bad at UTwente. So it is certainly
external from Spain and the SDRs, Soviet? Er, ``Russian``? The other
three REEs are in the clear. 2355 recheck during REE French, the clix
have stopped (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5950, Nov 10 at 0717, one WRMI frequency is back on air
already, with SMTV, so hurricane must not have been too severe. Yet
current sked has 5950 off after 04 or 05, and SMTV supposed to be on
9395 during the 07 hour.

Next check at 1544: 9395, 15770, 17790 are on; 9955, 9455 off. No 5s
or 7s audible, but it`s daytime, if on at all, and vs high local noise
level peaking around 8 MHz.

Next next check at 0015 Nov 11: All are on: 5010, 5800, 5850, 5950,
7570, (still not 7730), 7780, 9395, (9455 which was missing earlier),

Subject: Hurricane Nicole Report - WRMI

Dear WRMI Clients, Friends and Colleagues:

I am happy to report that Hurricane Nicole did only some minor damage
at the WRMI transmitter site in Okeechobee last night and early today
(November 10), and all of our frequencies are back on the air on their
normal schedule today. We did sign off early last night on most
frequencies for the safety of our equipment and staff, but we had no
power or Internet outages, and everything was working again this
morning. Hopefully this will be the last storm for the 2022 hurricane
season!

** U S A. 9329.946V to .959, Nov 8 at 1938, WBCQ-6/WLCR is finally
back on air,
S9+10/20 in English; had been missing for more than a week, and now is
off-frequency minus instead of plus. Varying audibly as I try to
measure it {date and time had been omitted} (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD

** U S A. 9330+. Nov 10 at 0720, WBCQ/WLCR is on, in Spanish as on
their sked this hour only, 57 degrees toward Spain, S7/S9 and again
offset plus rather than minus. Thursday is an off-day for Cuban spy
numbers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5830 & 9475, WTWW-1 have not been heard for quite a while.
Those should be carrying programming from the station`s owner,
Scriptures for America, yet the #2 transmitter with Ted`s rock music
or ham shows, on 5085, has continued regularly heard in the evenings
on a widely variable schedule --- but not any more: UT Nov 10 at 0205,
Dave Zantow in Wisconsin says, ``on 5085, Ted Randall has been
babbling that tonight will be the last broadcast due to financial
issues. That will continue on the internet with the same oldies and
Bible-beater junk.`` I myself did not hear this, but I am told that he
also announced that it would be his last broadcast on 5085, unless he
could raise $ 15,000 from the audience. Rodney Johnson in Minnesota
says ``there`s lots of talk on their FB group as well``. Walt Salmaniw
in BC says ``they usually boom in to Massett, and I will miss them as
they play some really nice music with good fidelity``.
Axually the real problem is that for some reason, Ted Randall has been
failing to carry the Scriptures for America broadcasts. They, after
all, own the station. So, on Nov 9th or into 10th, a representative
from SFAW in Colorado came in and closed down the station, and ousted
Ted Randall. This is a breaking story as we go to ``press`` on
Thursday afternoon, and I`m sure there will be more to follow. Maybe
Ted will find some other station to carry his stuff (Glenn Hauser,

** U S A. 1140, Nov 10 at 0735 UT, open carrier dominates some C2C
station, i.e. KLTK, 5 kW DAYTIMER in Centerton, NW Arkansas, as
previously concluded (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1170, Nov 10 at 0734 UT, WWVA ID as I tune across, as Tulsa
may be in a fade. Site in OHIO diminishes signal toward Tulsa but not
a deep-notch null:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7890, 11835, Nov 10 at 0724, no signals from R. Vanuatu
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6082 USB, Nov 11 at 0017, 2-way in Spanish with ``engine
noise``. I do wish some native speakers would monitor these things and
get some of idea of where they are, what their ``business`` may be
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Wed Nov 9 at 1449, LRA36 is on already
at tune-in via Argentine SDR, with prélude songs, good signal. 1501
canned sign-on with multilingual ID, staff names, ``Nacional, la radio
pública``; 1503 themesong mentioning several bases; 1506.5 recitation,
this time voices sound like kids; 1508 songs; 1512 live opening of
programa #30 of 2022 cycle. Tomorrow will be a special holiday; 1514
currently minus 5 C, and other conditions; someone has a birthday;
1516 contact info; tomorrow will be Día de la Tradición as first
proclaimed in 1939y; 1518 tango; 1520 ``nos une`` ID; 1526 about
folklore, 1531 fútbol; 1549 Tierra del Fuego became the last province
in 1990 - ex-territorio? Signal a bit weaker now, S7 peaks with fades
into local noise level. 1553 guest on phone line; 1608 YLs still
chatting; 1613 song; 1617 ID with staff like sign-off, ``la radio
hecha por mujeres``, ``nos une`` ID and off 1618* --- no, after a
pause a bit more bandoneón music from 1618.5 until really off at
1620.7* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 15125, Nov 10 at 0006, CRI English is the SSOB, S6/S7, Cuba
or Mali relay? No, registered as direct from Beijing site, 500 kW at
215 degrees for Asia. Traces of long/short path echo 0008 during brief
deep fades. Directly off the back would be 35 degrees thisaway (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) See also CUBA 6000

** CUBA. 6000, Nov 10 at 0011, strange mixture here, RHC in Spanish,
and Chinese music, while 5990 CRI relay is missing. Double audio feed
into a Quivicán transmitter? RHC is the Mesa Redonda diversion // VP
11950, where there is *no* music mix. OR, CRI on wrong frequency,
QRMing RHC on same channel! I can`t detect any beat between them. I
would have guessed two different sites rather than listed both Q. 0020
CRI in Spanish too, `China en Chino`. Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5040, Nov 10 at 0011, RHC is OFF, when English should now be
appearing in B-season. 5025 Rebelde also off. By 0142, both are still
off but 4765 Progreso is on, vs CODAR swirshes. Something`s always
wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 13730, Nov 9 at 0704, RNZP sufficient S8/9+10 with RNZ
news of US elexions in American Samoa, another Pacifican, Guam? Never
mentioned in Mainland WTW elexion coverage. Adrian Sainsbury tells me
they are working on solving the China clash at least at 08-09.
Wolfgang Bueschel says there is another 13730 collision with Austria
at 11-12 UT; I`ve forwarded that also to Adrian, and hoping for an 11
MHz band replacement, better for the extra N American audience (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** THAILAND. 13750, Nov 10 at 0008, R. Thailand with news in English
for N America, S7/S9 but weaker than some Chinese signals on band
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2163 monitoring: ``From: Richard Lemke, St.
Albert, Alberta, Canada, the desk of Richard’s listening Post, Radio:
JRC NRD-535 HF, Antenna: random long wires in the trees.

[Wed] (Lemke, Richard -AB) 73’s, Good listening, Richard``

Confirmed Wednesday Nov 9 at 2200 on WBCQ 7490v, S9/+10 direct --- a
tremendous improvement over 2100 UT timing during summery DST season
when JBA; also more and more darkness due to earlying sunsets.

NOT confirmed UT Thu Nov 10 at 0130 on WRMI 5010 & 9395, as ALL
transmitters have been closed down for Hurricane Nicole.

WOR 2164 should be ready for download early UT Friday Nov 11 and if
back on the air, first broadcast at 0330 on WRMI 7780 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Nov 10 at 0002, WRMI is off, uncovering heavy Cuban
jamming against nothing. Then I check all other WRMI frequencies and
they are ALL gone: 5010, 5800, 5850, 5950, 7570, 7730, 7780, 9395,
9455, 15770. As expected, closed down as precaution because of
approaching Hurricane Nicole. Depending on damage and power, may start
coming back sometime Thursday once the storm has passed. Good luck!
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non]. 9330, Wed Nov 9 at 0700, WBCQ-6 is off again, exactly
when it should be, leaving Cuban Spy Numbers in the clear - just voice
now, no digidata. On a recent `AAAWWW`, Allan admitted he knew about
the clash, but did not acknowledge that Cuba was there first, for
years; per B22 Aoki, scheduled at 07 UT on days 1246 starting with
Sunday = Sun/Mon/Wed/Fri. In EiBi A22 while B22 is inaccessible, it`s
days 1357 starting with Monday: Mon/Wed/Fri/Sun. Sure would be nice if
the two would use the same enumeration. HFCC, which doesn`t cover
spies! matches Aoki. Also:

``You had surmised in a previous log WBCQ had perhaps lost the ability
to turn the antenna for ~9330 kHz in recent months. You might have
been onto something, as their reception at my location right now (0115
UTC on Nov. 9) and a few moments in the preceding hour is far superior
than at any point since the spring. Too bad there is no reason for me
to linger. Ricky Leong, Calgary, Alberta, Canada`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, Nov 9 at 0701, JBA carrier from R Vanuatu 3 x 3945,
but no signal on 7890 = 2 x (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
