** CUBA. 6000, Nov 11 at 0655, RHC English still on here an hour later
than during DST, S9+30 but suptorted. 6060 is S9+10 but English buried
under humbuzz. 6100 off. 6165 S9+20 undermodulated. 5040 best, S9+20
with normal modulation and in English. Some of these presumably stay
on until 0800 now. Wolfgang Bueschel says 6000 went off by 0702 and
5040 was back to Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7254.93, Nov 11 at 0658, VON drums and chant IS and off at

** CUBA. 6000, Nov 9 at 0040, RHC Spanish probably // 11950 but JBA
for `Mesa Redonda` TV audio; something`s always wrong at RHC; into MO
SDR where there is as yet nothing on 6165 or 6145; no detailed survey,
but NAm English now probably starts around 0100 on the two sixes.

``Will tourism return to Cuba, as the regime hopes? 'It is important
to remember that the tourism influx had already started to decline
before Covid-19.'
Roberto Álvarez Quiñones, Los Ángeles 08 Nov 2021 - 17:10 CET

Raúl Castro, his assistant Miguel Díaz-Canel and the entire Cuban
ruling mafia seem to believe that once the doors to international
tourism swing open on November 15, jubilant vacationers from all over
the world will travel en masse to the island.

They are wrong. They still have not grasped that July 11, 2021 marked
the beginning of the end of Castroism as we know it today. They do not
understand what is happening in the country, that its economic, social
and political crisis is already irreversible, and that they cannot
deal with it with the same bravado of half a century ago, without
paying a price, since they no longer have any political-ideological
capital...``

** CUBA. 11880, Nov 9 at 2159, I make a point of hunting for RHC`s
second English broadcast of the day, expected to have shifted an hour
earlier to 2200-2300, and last known frequency 11880, but may be about
to change. NO signal. Until 2208 I bandscan the entire 15, 13, 11, 9
and 7 MHz bands and still find it nowhere, notably not on previously
used channels 13680, 11880, 9720, 7380. Recheck at 2229 still the same
situation. One more check at 2256: RHC English is just ending, JBA
with some signal cutsoffandon. So it came on sometime in past semihour
if not just now. Outro at 2300 as `Arts Roundup` of Hour 1, plug Hour
2 but it never follows right now. Tomorrow`s Hour 2 will include
mailbag. Then what? 11880 carrier stays on with dead air past 2325;
altho yesterday as I reported, that succeeded in Frenching.
Something`s always wrong at RHC.

Back to 2200, checking out Spanish frequencies: tarde sign on with the
same old set: tuned to 15370 first, which is very distorted and
splattering over a 30-kHz range; after a tail of choking Arabic at
2159. ``15370, 13740, 11760, 11850, 9535, 9710, 5040`` and they are
all heard at divergent levels of strength and modulation except 5040
unchecked. Notably, 11850 is JBM and suptorted, 13740 undermodulated,
9710 distorted, 9535 always weakest. BTW, no signals, yet? in any
languages on 15730, 15230, 11670. Something`s always wrong at RHC, X4
at least.

I knew it would be pointless, but for the record, then checking RHC
website for frequency schedules:
https://www.radiohc.cu/en/de-interes/frecuencias
where they are for B-*20*, starting 17 November 2020; they never even
got around to putting up A-21 schedules. Something`s always wrong at
RHC. That was the third Tuesday, 3+ weeks after B-20 really started,
and 2+ weeks after DST ended in Cuba running dog same date as Yanqui
Imperialism. So a similar pattern this year would mean a delay until
November 16 --- if ever. Until then maybe Arnie or someone be alert
for conflicts requiring adjustments, having refused to participate in
HFCC for fear of needing to negotiate with --- ugh --- Americans.

Someone recently asked me to explain why some SW stations are so lax
in keeping their own schedules accurate. I replied, who knows? but
perhaps a combination of bureaucracy, incompetence, low morale; to
which I should add: sabotage (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000 & 6165, Nov 10 at 0118, RHC English now on here,
somewhat undermodulated, better on 6165; during Chief Meterologist
weather for the Americas, the first evening hour to NAm now from 0100.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KASHMIR [non]. 15170, Tue Nov 9 at 1600, checking weekly Kashmir
Citivas via IRRS via Romania: UTwente is out of order so trying
various Kiwi SDRs: Kernow in SW UK has it S9 with a bit of English at
first then abnormally deep voice in Urdu/or/Kashmiri: is it slowed
down or processed, robotic? With understrumming.

Also a good chance to check how well K.C. reach nearest SDR to that
target: New Delhi: JBA carrier! Tsk2. At 1608 it`s fading out at UK.
At 1614 I back up to Kuwait where it`s still a night path but a couple
hours earlier than India: S9+5 at first with occasional English terms
uttered. But this too is fading out. I then check Cyprus but zero
signal there. At 1627-1629* music JBA at Kuwait. Kiwi map shows
terminator now leaves only Iberia and SW Ireland before sunset (Glenn

** U S A. (7489.9v), UT Tue Nov 9 at 0030 after semi-repeat of `UBMP`
on WBCQ webcast, `Camp Constitution Radio` theme ditty and then insert
another commercial for something else, AshleyHomeStore.com, apparently
this week`s airtime sponsor. Never heard of it, something local? No,
even 3X in OKC, and website shows at least one store and in some
states many, in 48 states including AK & HI - so only two conterminous
must be missing but I have better things to do than figure out which.
It`s for far-right furniture customers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 6160-, Nov 9 at 0037 check, zero signal of this WBCQ into
Missouri SDR. Believe it must be totally off the air as it was last
night for WORLD OF RADIO, because now on same remote the other BCQs:
4790 TOMBS S9/S7; 7490 minus 88 Hz = 7489.912 is S8-S6. 3265 also
zero.

On A61 webcast at 0000 had heard the Jean Shepherd theme starting.

it`s obviously off-frequency-minus, but without bothering to be

** CHINA. CNR1 WOOB jammer survey Nov 7 at 2321-2324 hitting
traditional frequencies vs Sound of Hope: 13920, JBA music, flutter
and Doppler flutter; 13160 & 13130 likewise. 13020 Chinese S5-S3, both
flutters; 12880 S3-S2 Chinese; 12820 & 12500 JBA carriers (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [non?]. 11525, Nov 7 at 2325, Chinese S9-S6 with flutter; RFA
via TINIAN scheduled, not clear whether this or jammer (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 11790, Nov 7 at 2325, S5-S3 discussion in English of fossil
fuels; it`s CRI via Xianyang 59 site per Aoki/NDXC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Nov 7 at 1951, RHC in Kriyol, via Missouri SDR; 2000
into English with some humbuzz. Something`s always wrong at RHC. As
expected, one hour later in B-21 than in A-21 at 1900.

As a running dog of Yanqui Imperialism, Cuba goes off and on DST at
exactly same dates as USA, and delays any seasonal frequency changes;
that may take another week. We cannot expect any accurate info
immediately on website, so monitoring will be required (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, Nov 7 at 2313, RHC French instead of English,
undermodulated and hum, S9/+20, not // 5040. Something`s always wrong
at RHC. Nonsensically, the ``Africa`` English broadcast normally moves
one UT hour *earlier* in B-seasons instead of later. Not checked yet,
but expected to be at 22-23; probably moving to a lower band within a
week (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5040, Nov 8 at 0726, RHC still on in Spanish with music,
`Somos Jóvenes` program, heavily distorted, carrier wobbling,
overmodulated, splattering, S9+50. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6165 & 6060, Nov 8 at 0728, RHC still on in English, S9+10/20
and S9+30 respectively, enough to produce a JBA carrier on 6270, the
leapfrog mixing product another 105 kHz beyond. Something`s always
wrong at RHC. 6100 & 6000 are off, and 5040 in Spanish. The multi-hour
evening English to N America is probably nominally now at 0100-0800
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 17800.06V, Nov 8 at 1537, JBA carrier keeps cutting off and
on, and audiwobbling, obviously the MiniTransAt yacht race weather
broadcast from a defective Issoudun transmitter. Supposed to last
until Nov 12 when all the yachts should have arrived in Guadeloupe.
Also at 1700 in DRM, unrechecked (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PHILIPPINES. 9335, Nov 7 at 2327, ``VOA, Washington DC, signing
on``, very poor. Listed as Tinang for Burmese at 2330-0030. Once upon
a time, VOA relay sites would identify individually, but then host
countries became ``protected`` from such bad publicity on air
announcements, even tho sites are no secrets in public scheduling info
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. Nov 7 is annual ``Listeners Day`` on RRI, since Nov 1 is
anniversary of public broadcasting there in 1928. For a few weeks, RRI
has been inviting listener comments on this year`s topic, fake info
about COVID in the media. I make a point of listening to this entire
hour on its penultimate SW repeat, UT Nov 8 at 0100-0200.

No doubt I could hear it sufficiently direct, but am at computer so
check remotes for 5990 & 7325. UTwente is all I need, on the first hop
from RRI toward N America: 7325 cuts on just in time at *0059.6,
S9+40, and so is 5990: in fact signals so steady and clear that could
easily pass for webcast or direct line from studio, LOCAL quality! No
fading audible nor visible, not even selective fading distortion. In
fact, I can widen the bandwidth to max of 13.53 kHz. They are only
S7-S9 into Maryland. And a few minutes before 0100, 5990 was occupied
by distorted CRI relay via CUBA, fortunately off just in time.

After the news, special starts at 0106. I take notes, but deciphering
my original scribbles is a problem 16 hours later. 0115 breaks for a
folk song, ``I Know You Did Good``. 0118 first listener quoted is a
name I recognize, Artur Fernandez Llorella in Spain. Then someone from
Germany. Then an old clip from a BBC guy. 0125 lamenting having to
miss live concerts. 0129 someone from India. 0130 someone from China,
France; 0133 song; 0137 about some outlandish conspiracy theories in
Romania. 0139 another listener I recognise, Christian Ghibaudo in
France. Many of the other names I don`t attempt to spell nor does RRI.
0141 song by jazz crooner, ``Among the Clouds``. 0146 back to topic,
0147 Algerian listener. 0149 Italy. 0152 goodbye with song
``Transylvania Dance``. 0155 sign-off referring to next ENAm broadcast
at 2130; Enescu theme, IS and off.

There was remarkable agreement among listeners quoted that public
broadcasting such as RRI is the best source for accurate COVID info,
NOT social media, tho Internet may be carefully used for research.

Guess what, no one from N America participated. Nor have I yet seen
any reports of anyone else listening to this, despite my advance
promotion efforts and reminders in the WOR iog and on the air. RRI
promotion for this allowed audio files to be sent or recorded via
phone calls, but not a single listener voice could be heard. They were
all quoted by the announcers.

Final repeat at 0400 to W North America, which I confirm at 0407
check, S8-S9 on 6020 into Maryland SDR. Not even checked scheduled //
7410 on the broken Tsiganeshti transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 420-MCW kHz, Nov 8 at 0738 UT, mixture of three ND beacons;
strongest is TU, 25 watts from Tupelo MS; weaker at higher pitch PK,
which is 25 watts from Olathe/Herbb KS, but QRM from another at same
pitch I can`t unravel, but likely FQ, 25 watts from Fairmont MN, as
heard before. This is as far as I get before dozing off (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2111 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
November 7 at 2100 on IRRS via Italia AM, 918 kHz, Villa Estense, S9+8
into nearby Noale KiwiSDR. Hopefully all of it but not checked or
rechecked until 2129.

9955 & 5950, confirmed NO WOR at 2230 Sun Nov 7, but other WRMI
programming. Confirmed both shifted to 2330+, S9+10 on 5950 into
Maryland SDR which gets nothing but jamming on 9955, but that`s
audible at Vilhena, Brasil SDR, S9/+10 with no? jamming.

Confirmed UT Mon Nov 8 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VP only S6-S4 into
Missouri SDR, but NO signals on 9395 & 9455 which had been //, but
expected to shift one hour later. 9395 audible at Winnipeg with
elsemusic.

Confirmed UT Mon Nov 8 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, poor S7 into Maryland
SDR; no signal on 9455, but at 0133 to northern Utah SDR, 9455 audible
NOT with WOR, while 9395 is sufficient.

Rechecking WRMI skedgrid: System G still shows WOR on both at 8:30 pm
ET, but the frequency schedule atop shows at 0100 UT, 9455 switches to
SMTV. So this also affects WOR UT Thursdays at 0130 to be on 9395
only, as well as all other Sys G programming at 0100-0200.

NOT confirmed UT Mon Nov 8 at 0400 on Area 51, usual timeshift
ex-0300: NO signal detectable via MD, ME, MO SDRs on 6160-, nor
direct, so this WBCQ off the air? Possibly propagation as 7489.9 is a
JBA carrier direct, and 4790 is JBA. NO signal on 3265 which I guess
be totally inactive again, not even mentioned as a multi-cast
frequency during AAAWWW. It would be propagationally advantageous to
run that lowest frequency during winter nights, but it only seems to
appear sporadically in noisy summer! WOR *is* running loud and clear
on Area 51 webcast. Next:

1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW

first half on secret playback via webcast UT Tue at 0000 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5050, 3215, 3195, 3185, Sunday Nov 7 at 2315, NO signals
from WWRB, normally leaving 59m for 93m in B-seasons, active weekend
evenings only. 0022 UT Mon Nov 8, 5050 is still on with gospel huxter,
S9+15 into Maryland SDR. Maybe to 3 MHz band next weekend? HFCC B-21
shows WWRB registered: 3185 available 24h; 3195 at 0100-0400 only;
3215 at 2200-0200; meanwhile working around WWCR also registered for
3195 and 3215, but I think has never used/needed 3195. There is
certainly no need for WWCR and WWRB to timeshare 3215 but they keep
doing it, to confuse listeners? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
