** CUBA. 11880, Nov 12 during the 22, 23; and Nov 13, 00 hours, no
signal from RHC in French or English. Maybe eventually land on a new
B21 frequency by Tuesday if they ever get their act together.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT [and non]. 9440, Nov 12 at 2012, further chex for R. Cairo
reactivated on SW in case it`s still on the same frequency as heard
before 1600: something JBA, but it`s probably CRI English via Kunming.
At 2000-2115 UT, ERU supposed to be on 9885 in French, but zilch.

9900: Everybody`s set for the 2115 in English, and it`s widely heard
but with horrible modulation. Not convenient for me to check until
2215 via UTwente, which falsely claims in red to be unusable: UTw is
funxioning, but S9+30 signal extremely suptorted, itself unusable.
Direct to here at 2226, it`s VP estimated at 9899.57 making a het with
something close to 9900.00, probably Taiwan/China radio war. Almost an
hour earlier, Steven C. Wood in MA measured Cairo on 9899.58, and
Richard Langley, NB, on 9899.586 at UTwente.

Next scheduled is 2215-2330 Portuguese on 9545, unchecked. Then
2330-2445 in Arabic on 9730: I do check that at 0010, a JBA carrier
into Brasil but can`t tell the language, else? Finally, 0045-0200
Spanish on 9900, nothing there at 0129 into Maryland.

WOR iogroup members have contacted R. Cairo welcoming them back to SW,
but providing evidence that something is drastically wrong with the
modulation. Alan Roe says the address is
englisheuropeservice@gmail.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Nov 12 at 2300, REE active again on N American
frequency, unlike yesterday, for token English, and a good thing,
since direct it`s sufficient on the portable DX-398 while the other
three 11/12 MHz channels are useless. Feature is an interview in a
noisy bar ``this past Thursday September 30``, so a rerun, with author
of a book about the jazz scene in New Orleans; OK, but what has this
to do with Spain? Well yes, Spain once owned N.O... (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2112 monitoring: Confirmed Friday
November 12 at 1915-1944 UT on IRRS SW, 7290 via Bulgaria; and 918 kHz
via Italy, via two separate remotes only a couple seconds apart,
complete, not cut off after 15 minutes like last week. At 1926 I can
tell that the understation CCI on 918 is in Spanish, i.e. Madrid.

918 I started monitoring earlier via Noale SDR at 1851 and found an
aircheck of KUSW! which means this week`s AWR `Wavescan` at an unsked
time, filler? It`s S9+15 with some CCI making a ripple SAH. UTwente is
down again, so I try Carnow, Ireland for 7290 - no signal yet. At
1858, 918 cuts Jeff White short as he starts to play Mormon Tabernacle
organ music, for ``IRRS SW`` ``sign on`` and `Feature Story News`.

Now 7290 is also on at 1900 but poor signal into Carnow, S7 with ACI
from CRI English 7295; LSB helps some. // 918. Not only FSN but FS
`Spotlight`, 1904 another IRRS ID and FSN stuff, 1908 into music, 1914
Lord`s Prayer in pop gospel version. 1915 ``IRRS signing on`` even tho
it`s already on, and into WOR 2112 on both. Some other unrecognized
talk program followed at 1945, and 7290 off by 2000.

Missed checking the scheduled Friday 2130 repeat of WOR on 918 kHz;
anyone hear it?

WOR 2112 confirmed Friday November 12 at 2330, new later time, on WRMI
5950, fair with fading into DX-398 portable with short wire.

Also confirmed UT Saturday November 13 at 0230, another latened time,
on WRMI 9395, only S7-S8 into Missouri remote. Next:

** U S A. 7490.00, Nov 12 at 2228, WRNO during `Behaviour Night`,
notice that it`s almost ON-frequency! Someone must have nudged it.

(7490 and 6160 webcasts), UT Sat Nov 13 just before `AAAWWW`, instead
of overmodulated/distorted as the past several weeks, now at 0058 the
7490 one is just barely modulated with FKB gospel huxter. Sufficient
if I turn up player and own computer volume to max! Hardly registers
on the mod meter. But the A61 webcast of 6160 is loud and clear music
separately. Almost 0100, FKB hears a beep and knows it`s time to get
off.

Then they join for a non-standard AAAWWW opening, rather ``Hire the
A-Team``, TimTron IDs, his jazzed up `William Tell Overture` without
interjexions. But the volume level on A51 web has plunged to match
7490`s. Now I try Maryland remote for how they are doing on SW air.
JBA, but 7490 carrier offset is only -7 to +2 Hz, as I had monitored
earlier circa .00.

0104 TT opens, ``live and direct from studio one master control`` --
does he mean he`s in Monticello or doing it remotely from Skowhegan?
Starts fiddling with music cartridges explaining how these ancient
devices work; ``pissing rain out there``. 0107 caller interrupts and
TT starts to blow him off -- don`t call until I say the phone lines
are open!! But caller persists and gets thru to him that there is no
modulation on the frequencies! Chastened, TT tnx the caller and says
he`ll get to work on it. At 0112 we overhear a bit of another phone
conversation under the music. After that not a single word more from
TT or anyone for the rest of the hour; just various rock music cuts,
at first with breakups, loud/soft modulation. After 0130, just music
playing at normal modulation. A royal mess, but at least no
anti-American rants this week.

About 0120 I check the SW frequencies again, into Missouri remote:
7490 JBA carrier; 6160 minus 55 Hz = 6159.945v, undermodulated but the
music audible, heavy ACI from S9+35 6165 Cuba; LSB helps some. At
0123, 4790 minus 20 Hz offset = 4789.980, JBA carrier vs CODAR.
Sometime after 0200 I notice Hal Turner is on the webcast. Trying the
three SW frequencies only, John Carver says he was not hearing
anything by 0114 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0413 UT November 13

** CUBA. 6100, Nov 12 at 0707, RHC still on here, S9+15/20 but in
Spanish instead of English. 6060 English under humbuzz. 6165 English
S9+20/30 but undermodulated. 6000 & 5040 off. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9440, Nov 12 at 1553, extremely distorted and hum, music at
S7-S8 on UTwente SDR, tnx to tip from Alexander Busneag in Germany at
1545 that it`s R. Cairo in scheduled Albanian hour. This frequency was
discovered yesterday during the 2115 English broadcast, but totally
useless and with big noise spurs on the upper side then and now;
following someone at R. Cairo telling Peter Jones the day before that
they would be back on 9900.

Alex first posted at 1438 to the WOR iog: ``Radio Cairo went on air
today 12.Nov.2021 on 9440 kHz at 1418 UTC. Blank carrier with slight
hum. No modulation. By-products: terrible buzz on 9490 kHz, as well as
a less stronger buzz on 9530 kHz; both buzz signals jumping around +/-
10 kHz. (9440 kHz is scheduled in the HFCC database for the Radio
Cairo transmission in Albanian 1500-1600 UT)``.

FWIW, here`s the full registered sked for B-21:
http://hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B21&broadc=ERU
which in fact does show 9440 but for the Albanian hour only; some
others all on 31m including 9900 for 2115-2245 English. All from Abis
site (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 17800.08V, Nov 12 at 1537, Minitransat yacht race special
from defective Issoudun transmitter, oscillating up and down roughly
17800.07 to 17800.09 kHz, music at S9 as must have finished marine
weather by now. S9 direct but SSOB, only a few other JBA carriers on
16mb. This is the last day registered for these broadcasts, but I
suppose could be extended if there be some laggards not yet reaching
finish line at Guadeloupe.

17795-17800-17805-DRM, Nov 12 at 1655 I`m tuned to Maryland remote for
the 1700 digital version of same. Dead until *1700 with a bit of
music, lo-fi French talk. It seems to cut off at 1701, but I soon
realize the Kiwi SDR has tuned away from 17800 as I think I am mousing
some other website, often an annoying problem with these. 1702 French
talk overmodulated OM voice with hectopascals and other weather info,
keeps mentioning Cuba. Parameters: SNR 22 dB; Chan 10 kHz; SDC 16 QAM;
MSC 64 QAM. Labeled IAAC (1000) Minitransat TDF EEP Data 8.08 kbps;
S7-S9, some buffering echoes, repeatedly saying English fonetix
``echo-november-echo``, I guess wind direxion inexplicable in French.
Fully English presumably later.

But not rechecked until 1738 when I find the player frozen at SNR 8.1;
refreshing, SNR 11+ but silent, and when it hits 12 starts to decode
intermittently, but 1746 music, 1748 medley including ``Always Love
You``, from ``Titanic`` Hope none of these hit icebergs. Off the air
around 1757* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA SOUTH [non]. 7445, Nov 12 at 0712, YL pop song, S9+10/20,
language uncertain but 0714 talk in Korean. KBSWR to Europe now
scheduled this hour via Woofferton, UKOGBANI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2112 monitoring: confirmed first
SWBCs, UT Friday November 12 at 0130 on WRMIs: 5850 VG S9+30/40
direct, 7780 S9+20. Previous gospel huxter was still going when
chopped off for canned ID at 0129.5.

Also confirmed UT Fri Nov 12 at 0330 on WRMI 5985, but with
difficulty. Cuts on at *0329 with IS & ID, ``top of hour` loop, S8-S9
direct but VP to JBA. This is #14 at 181 degrees, but JBA to JBA
carriers to LAm SDRs in Querétaro, Trinidad, Brasil, Key West --- TWR
Bonaire has been missing for a week or more; hope they bring it back.
Despite azimuth, S8 sufficient into Kansas City SDR, and even better
S9+10 into St Louis area SDR. AM Narrow needed to avoid Cuban jamming
ACI from 5980. Next, fingers crossed that IRRS will air the full WOR
this week instead of half of it last week:

** VANUATU. 5040, Nov 12 at 0709, JBA carrier as CUBA is off unlike

not even a carrier, matching Ron Howard`s obs last night (Glenn

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
