** COLOMBIA? 4940, Nov 16 at 0235, anonymous mystery missionary
station, gospel huxter with dramatizations, S9/+10. In the NASWA
Flashsheet, editor Mark Taylor in WI agrees it`s still anonymous:

``4940, 2359, 11/12-13/20. Hymn through ToH, 1 beep, man announcer
with talk about faith then woman with news or actualities. No ID or
program name noted at ToH`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 6125, Sun Nov 15 at 2324, no signal from R. Martí ---
that`s because per HFCC it`s scheduled only M-F 2300-0400 Tue-Sat.
Instead there is something in Chinese, i.e. CNR from SZG site (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 9535, Nov 16 at 0656, JBA talk not // RHC English
on 6 MHz frequencies, altho this RHC Spanish frequency has been known
to run overtime in English. Instead it must be R. Ndarason
International about to switch sites from Woofferton to Ascension.

9535, Nov 16 at 1555 however, now it is RHC, S9 but undermodulated.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, Nov 16 at 1524, RHC music is S9 but just barely
modulated, while 15140 is S9 and merely undermodulated. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13566 & 13836 approx., Nov 16 at 1503, traces of spurblob
second-order mixing products with F# tone, and much stronger
first-orders about 13633 & 13768, i.e. about 67-68 kHz displacements
and multiples, out of RHC 13700 which is undermodulated S7-S9.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY [non]. 9570, Nov 16 at 0657, African talk and music at
S6-S9 until chopoff at 0659*. It`s DW in Hausa from 0630 via FRANCE
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NICARAGUA. 8989-USB, Sun Nov 15 at 2325, fisher-preacher VP at S5,
with applause? mixed with band noise (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6934.9-AM, Nov 15 at 2319, unID JBA carrier
typically piratical; numerous reported previously in HFUnderground but
none currently (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA [and non]. 7220, Nov 15 at 2318, RRI English now more
audible under Vietnamese talk & music bed, totalling S9+30.
Theoretically, per HFCC, RRI should dominate, 300 kW at 300 degrees
from Galbeni altho not intended beyond UK, while CRI Vietnamese is 500
kW, 190 degrees from Xi`an toward Vietnam.

9415, Nov 15 at 2327, then I find CRI Vietnamese loud and clearer
here, S9+35, which is 500 kW southward from Beijing site (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SLOVENIA. 18118-USB, Nov 16 at 1521, S57DX calling CQ 17, fonetix
alternating Sierra with Sugar for first letter, then working a K2.
This ham continues to be the dominant Eurosig on 18 MHz (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Sun Nov 15 at 2323, no signal from VOT English to
North America; something`s always erroneous at Emirler; nor yet any
signal from Urumqi 5960-, East Turkistan, land of ChiCom brainwashing
Uyghurs, nominally starting at *2330 per HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 392-MCW kHz, Nov 16 at 0712 UT, mixture of two 25-watt ND

Nebraska [spelt backwards: Aksarben, Folkeb]; and ML, from Monroe,
Louisiana.

385-MCW kHz, Nov 16 at 0714 UT, ND beacon HO, which is 200 watts from

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2060 monitoring: confirmed UT
Monday November 16 on WRMI 7730, VG here.

Also confirmed UT Mon Nov 16 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, poor S7-S8 here but
good S9+5 at UTwente Holland SDR where it`s aimed.

Also confirmed UT Mon Nov 16 at 0230 on WRMI 7780, S9+15 at UTw; and
also S9+15 on 5800 into TWR Bonaire SDR where it`s aimed. Also almost
synchro on WRN webcast.

Also confirmed UT Mon Nov 16 from 0402 on Area 51 webcast, while WBCQ
6159.9 is JBA direct; inaudible at closer SDRs in VA and NY, but good
S9+15 into Warrenton MO SDR, which must be at ideal skip distance from
Maine.

Also confirmed UT Mon Nov 16 at 0430 on WRMI 9955, good S8 into

** U S A. 5950, Nov 15 at 2321, WRMI-5 is back on, presumed the weak
S6-S9 in unknown English program, after several days absent since Nov
11. Still no mention of 5950 going & coming on disgraced FB of WRMI.

This might have been helpful for hearing Ethiopia, but Manuel Méndez,
Spain reports Nov 16: ``5950, Voice of Tigray Revolution, Addis Ababa,
seems to be out of air for more than a week`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 3215, Nov 16 at 0020, gospel huxter, so WWRB has belatedly
made its B-season QSY from 5050 for weekend-only emissions. By 0316
recheck has flipped to 3185, S9+20 more of same, not TOMBS. Probably
from 0200 when WWCR-1 has dibs on 3215. It was not clear whether WWRB
would use 3185 or 3195 this season, both registered. 3185 was once
exclusively for Brother HyStairical, but now long gone as a WWRB
client (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 5980, Nov 16 at 0647, mixture of PMS from 5935 and
BS from 5890, audible under Cuban jamming, i.e. leapfrog mixing
product of the two WWCRs landing here another 45 kHz beyond, where the
Cubans cannot be too careful, lacking a Radio Martí to jam, just in
case wacky yanqui religionists in English make inroads into Cuban SWLs
who would not be listening to them in the clear on the fundamentals.
Something`s always excessive at the Jamming Command (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** VENEZUELA. 6906v-RCUSB, Nov 16 at 0235, still no signal from ROCV
into Bonaire SDR. Manuel Méndez, Spain, explains Nov 16: ``6906, R. O.
C. V., El Tigre, seems to be out of the air for at least two days. I
have contacted the station staff and they confirm that they are off de
air due to a transmitter power failure`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Nov 16 from 0701,
this time tuning down in LSB from +1 kHz above 9-kHz channels: 1215,
1107, 1089, 909, 882(2), 855(2), 837, 774(2), 756, 747, 693, 684, 621,
612, 558.

At 0709 on 846, a fast beat between two, one of which would assumedly
be TP from Kiritimati, but what else? Best W Europe can do at this
late hour is 3 kW from Ireland, R. North; maybe a high-power E Asian
already at this early hour like 250 kW Taiwan? or 2 kW from NZ barely
around summer sunset? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13700, Nov 15 at 1444, RHC `En Contacto` at winter timing
nominal 1435 Sunday, Arnie Coro`s voice is back so throat may no
longer be sore unless this be an old rerun, during a ``QSL en el
aire`` shoutout to some oyente; as usual, lickety-split pace
difficultizing comprehension; he needs some lessons in proper
radio-announcing technique. No spurs today. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15700, Nov 15 at 1555, CRI English relay is S9+10 but only a
trace of modulation as likely for the entire 1500+ hour. Something`s
always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE [and non]. 21690, Nov 15 at 1537, JBA music, i.e. RFI
Swahili this hour only --- great to have a bit of 13mb propagation
anyway. And the only other signal, 21525 WRMI is a hefty S7-S9 with
guitar music to Africa.

I have been seeking the MUF after first finding several phoners on the
18 MHz hamband, but all weak and hard to catch IDs as they make no
effort to foneticize slowly and clearly. Then from 1538 I try the 21
MHz hamband, which is propagating some more weak unID signals:

21415-AM, intermittent carrier, so a hAM?
21292-USB at 1538, QRZ with French/Canadian? accent, mentions DL3--,
contact?
21281-USB at 1549 in English
21267-USB at 1550, English
21287-USB at 1552, English

WWV reported: ``Solar-terrestrial indices for 14 November follow.

** GERMANY [and non]. Part of Kai Ludwig`s reply to my previous DW
15195 report: ``Concerning the IS-only transmission: It has been
observed already a couple of times, and it could be worth to check if
maybe the transmitters are turned on just every Saturday no matter
what. Anyway this transmission is, as DW told on enquiry, explicitly
booked only for the precise days when broadcasts are scheduled. When
TDF fires it up on other days they simply burn electricity without
getting any income from a customer for it.

The days of "if it`s DW it can`t be direct from Germany" are over.
Their provider for shortwave transmissions directly from Europe is
again Media Broadcast, and in at least one season also the Nauen
transmitters, once built for DW, were involved again. Kai``

The Nauen transmitters were built for RBI in Germany East; more added
later post-DDR? Well, in B-20 there are still no Nauens for DW:
http://hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B20&broadc=DWL

** NIGERIA. 11769.894, Nov 15 at 1448, JBA carrier, presumed VON
perpetually off-frequency-minus from every channel, but was not
expecting it on air this early; often noted later in UT day,
insufficiently. Aoki/NDXC and EiBi both ignore its signature
offfrequenciness, showing it start at 1500 with Swahili. HFCC pretends
VON is non-existent since stations must pay to participate (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6880-AM, Nov 14 at 2154, JBA music at S8 = noise
level too, checked after this tip to the WOR iog: ``Pirate station

** U S A. 5085, UT Sun Nov 15 at 0118, WTWW-2 starting `Theatre Organ
Under the Arch`, featuring guest thorganist Jesse Crawford. Note
shifted but highly variable time; unfortunately it`s now amid the
`Encore` classical music hour on WRMI 5850, its best airing toward

TOUTA off WTWW-2 $ tereo webcast for later, altho you never know

** COLOMBIA? 4940, Nov 14 at 0415, anonymous mystery missionary
station is audible via SDR Bonaire but only VP S4-S6, much worse than
usual. It`s still JBA direct around 0645 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Nov 14 at 0650, Radio Rebelde is OFF instead of 24h. So
is 5040 RHC. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 6000, Nov 14 at 0653, RHC English still on here,
and on 6100 with hum, but 6145 is off. Something else is weakly on
9700; HFCC B20 shows Turkey at 04-07 and Japan at 05-09 [and BTW RNZI
current sked shows 9700 never]. RHC`s new sked shows 9700 replacing
6145 by Nov 17 at 01-07 toward Chicago --- so there could be a 3-way
collision between 05 and 07 --- way to go, frequency manager Arnie,
refusing to coördinate in HFCC. Axually a 9 MHz frequency would be a
good idea instead of everything to USA on 6/5 MHz, but more so in the
summer, vs plummeting winter night MUFs. Might try 7 MHz for
diversity. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13770 & 13630 approx., Nov 14 at 1433, RHC spurblobs are
back, extremely distorted with F# tone especially when tuned in FM
mode, out of 13700 transmitter which is clear itself, and while //
13740 is also still on but uninvolved. Weaker second-order spurs about
13839 and 13561, so displacement is approx. plus/minus 69.5 kHz and
multiples. The lower one clashes with ISM pulsing noises always around
13560, i.e. RF ID scanners at stores or medical machines, or ?? Also a
third-order trace about 13491 but not 13909. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY [non]. 15195, Sat Nov 14 at 1429, Deutsche Welle is seeking
Brothers --- never mind Sistern? playing its nostalgic clanging IS
which I haven`t heard on SW for ages, so what is about to sign-on? One
thing for sure, if it`s DW it can`t be direct from Germany. Of course,
it`s Hausa per HFCC, Saturdays only at 1425-1630, i.e. coverage of
stupid ball games in a strange bilateral link between Germany and
Nigeria important enough for SW broadcasts while most other languages
have been abandoned! In fact the only other one left is Amharic. See
http://www.hfcc.org/data/b20/B20DWLbyDWLver01-13oct2020.pdf

But wait, the IS keeps on playing with no programming past 1430, 1437,
1457, 1502, 1542+ as the signal progressively weakens. Well, that sort
of makes up for all the times I have not heard it for years! But seems
not a cost-effective use of resources. That schedule shows the Hausa
football service only applies to certain Saturdays, such as 31.10,
7.11 and 21.11, NOT today 14.11! But at least they hold the frequency
from any intruders! Further dates it is supposed to air SBGs are:
every week thru 20.03.21, except 26.12.20. And there is one //, 15350
not checked or noticed today, both Issoudun, FRANCE.

DW TV, OTOH, does a credible job of world news coverage on a par with
BBC World News America, via PBS, audiovisible here weekdays at
2200-2230 UT on OETA World channel 13.2, initiating a 2-hour strip
followed by BBC, France 24 and NHK until 2400. But the DW IS is not to
be heard there (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 12030, Sat Nov 14 at 1503, RNE manages to modulate unlike 24
hours ago, S9/+10 here to ME, while 9690 to NAm is only S3-S8! We get
a much better signal off the back of the ME antenna, than off the
front of the NAm one. It is always thus at the beginning of weekend
transmissions across a fully-insolated path, when a higher OWF ---
optimum working frequency --- trumps the lower frequency`s angle,
something REE has never figured out. // 11940 to SAm is much weaker vs
a local? blob, and no point in even checking 11685 to Af. Something`s
always not right at Noblejas. O, the programming? After RNE IDs in
passing, starts `Poesía Exterior` from REE. I wonder what became of
the DX? program `Amigos de la Onda Corta` which is rarely about Short
Wave, but any other media (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11815, Nov 14 at 1507, ME music at S7-S9, certainly not NHK
which is scheduled here but thataway from 10 to 17 UT; rather VOT
Turkish at 14-17 thisaway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5800, UT Sat Nov 14 at 0300, WRMI plays ``Yellow Rose of
Texas`` alla marcia, i.e. the opening theme of Texas Radio SW program
`Treasure Chest of TX mx` as soon introduced by Third Matey Susan
robovoice, then Robert Kipp, Germany with upcoming playlist. This was
supposed to be a one-time special originally aired exactly one week

I was checking whether the Radio República relay via Okeechobee was
still there as started a few weeks ago in addition to the France site
until 0300 on 9490. It never appeared on the WRMI skedgrid as if to
keep it hush-hush from the Cuban jammers. Anyhow it`s gone again, and
in fact R.R. is now running until 0400 on 9490 with `Noticias al
Cierre` at 0358, good over lite pulse jamming as heard via TWR Bonaire
SDR, which in SAM mode also shows the Issoudun carrier is varying
22-39 Hz plus! Maybe the WRMI hour has shifted 60 minutes later? No,
5800 carrier stays on only until 0402*. I think I have figured it out
now: as Europe went off DST, R.R. wanted to run until 0400 but 9490
was not available, so WRMI took it up temporarily. Now 9490 is
available and used until 0400* so 5800 is not needed.

Getting back to TRSW, Cap`n Ric replies: ``Ahoy Glenn, Jeff may leave

Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

currently scheduled up to 1500 on 13710 in Aoki or EiBi, but in HFCC
something in Kurdish via Moldova from BRB, which might well be wooden.
In A-season however, CRI English via Kashgar, East Turkistan, land of
cultural genocide, was heard on 13710 until 1457 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 12030, Fri Nov 13 at 1505, and still 1546, open carrier dead
air at S6-S9, likely REE, while 9690 has a JBA carrier, nothing on
11940 or 11685. 12030 for ME is supposed to start at 1500 weekdays,
1400 weekends. Something`s not right at Noblejas (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 5950, Nov 13 at 0706, and at 2223 chex, NO signal from
WRMI-5; it`s never very strong or loud here, but now must be off the
air. Ivo Ivanov and Wolfgang Bueschel first noted its absence on Nov
11. NO mention of its absence or what is being done about it as of
2320 UT Nov 13 by WRMI on disgraced FB; unlike about the going and
coming of 9395 WRMI-6. It seems 5950 disappeared about the same time
9395 resumed, coincidence? 5950 had been 24 hours, even in the daytime
for short-range coverage on a 285 degree WNW azimuth, same as 7730
which is always much stronger here; was mostly TOMBS System C, or SMTV
System J, but also a variety of breakouts for Systems D, F and G
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 9955, Fri Nov 13 at 1511, this WRMI-3 is off, just
some residual pulse jamming. For a while it was extended past 1500.
Now skedgrid shows only on Sat & Sun until 1530 with `Full Gospel
Hour`, i.e. Blalock the Blaster, but is he still on WRMI? WBCQ said
that ``sweetheart`` quit over there, out of money (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. (7490), UT Sat Nov 14 at 0103, WBCQ webcast of `AAAWWW`,
declared to be ``live`` but never heard a YOOL date mentioned during
following hour; he never does so at the outset. First recommends a
27-minute B&W film produced in 1947y by NBC with a tour of Rockefeller
Center, ``Behind Your Radio Dial`` --- search that title on YouTube.
The lo-fidelity of telco transmitter feed lines back then. Early TV;
reminiscences of AHW`s father, who was brilliant --- too smart to be a
politician. Again they are trying to avoid politix, ``keeping the
powder dry``. Angela should have her own show to let loose on
political rants, AHW is seriously considering if she can be persuaded.
She erupts yelling a few times now, not good for the mikes nor for
listenears. ``This just can`t happen!!!``, i.e. Biden instead of
Trump. 0141 says on 7490 and 6160 now; neither checked here direct or
on remotes. Explaining clear-channel distant MW propagation. 0153
reads a few emails, one about the ``sham-demic``, that all
Democrat[ic] governors should be removed, to which AHW agrees. ``Still
waiting to acquire WHRI; it is going to happen``. 0158 prayer and over
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Nov 13 at 1549, several phone hams on USB in the 18 MHz
band, so I check 21 MHz whether it could be open? 21022 has a strong
CW calling CQ way too fast, and some other digital sounds below 21100,
but not a trace of any USB hams up to 21450 --- yet the band is open
from somewhere; not paying attention? Are there any constant beacons
on 14m like 10m? On 13m, 21525 WRMI is as usual a JBA carrier at best
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0228 UT November 14

** COLOMBIA? 4940, Nov 13 at 0111 quick check via TWR Bonaire SDR,
anonymous mystery missionary station is still going with gospel huxter
in Spanish. At night I can always get at least a weak carrier here,
and as late as 0700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ECUADOR [and non]. 1510.275v kHz, Nov 13, at 0117 I am looking for
R. Monumental, Quito, which was reported last night by Mark Connelly,
MA as off-frequency 1519.29 and thus an enhanced DX target. A few chex
in OK have not detected a carrier or het yet, so how about the TWR
Bonaire KiwiSDR? At first in SynchAM it shows a carrier as measured
above but then loses out to locking onto 1510.0 signals. I briefly do
hear some `Andean` music but can`t tell from which frequency.
Waterfall also has a JBV just-barely-visible trace on 1512.0, Sa`udi
Arabia on at this hour, unlike 1521??

At 0122 begins to dominate an American talkshow in English on 1510. No
Middle- or South-American likely in English except maybe Hosanna Radio
in Panama, but this unseems gospelic. Could it be WLAC Nashville? 50
kW night pattern has a notch toward Birmingham and Montgomery and
beyond. But since last summer, WLAC has been ND day and night, but cut
to quarter-power of 12.5 kW at night, which seems to be a standard FCC
allowance when something is wrong with a night pattern. And I suppose
it still is, for definite ID at 0129 as WLAC. Distance to Bonaire:
3251 km = 2020 statute miles = 1755 nautical miles; and most of the
miles on the path are nautical, not thru Alabama, but Jaxonvil and
Port-au-Prince (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 900, Nov 13 at 0137, bigsig in Spanish with ads, then
``Doble-U Radio, 96.9`` ID, so XEW just like in old times maybe with
some southern enhancement. IRCA Log shows 250/250 kW but we long
suspected it was underpowered; WRTH shows only 100 kW. For many years
another XE was in the way and still in WRTH 2020, XEOK in Monterrey,
but Log shows XEW is now the only Mexican on 900, as surely befits its
super-power clear-channel status desde el centro (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 640, Nov 12 at 1326 UT, KWPN Moore is OFF. Hardly needed
with more stupid sportstalk on several other OKC AM&FM stations, e.g.
WKY 930 and WWLS 98.1 - former call of 640. Recheck at 0138 UT Nov 13,
it is back on and a major obstacle to KFI or anything else. While off
in the daytime, I should have sought WOI on groundwave or even
skywave. BTW, I have not heard any IBOC noise from KWPN in a long
time, altho still ``I`` in NRC AM Log 2020-2021.

BTW2, it would be hard to find [m]any state[s] with no AM stations
lower than 640 as in OK. With plenty of spare time, one could study
pages 253-274 of the NRC AM Log. Starting at the end, I see that
onesuch is WY, starting at 650 KGAB, which can barely make it here on
a very quiet day (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A. 269-MCW kHz, Nov 12 at 0701 UT, ND beacon BEX, which is 25
watts from Bloomfield, Iowa, due south of Ottumwa, closer to
Missouri. Believe it`s new here.

338-MCW kHz, Nov 12 at 0707 UT, NDB RYN, 400 watts from Tucson - Ryan
AZ.

344-MCW kHz, Nov 12 at 0709 UT, NDB JA, 400 watts from Jaxonvil -
Dinsmore, Florida; I was tuned to 342-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 2217-USB kHz, UT Thu Nov 12 at 0158 UT, surprise MARS net
hosted by AAR6SM, other calls mentioned, usually just the suffixes,
6AD, 6DE, 6RL. The 2 MHz band is a vast wasteland, which could have
been filled by MW fundamentals alleviating the terrible congestion
below 1710. Now hardly anything is heard but WWV and the Canadian
marine weather stations --- not even any MWDX harmonix for many months
despite thousands of stations which could provide them. Beacon `A` has
been gone from 2097.3 for months, but yesterday Harold Frodge in MI
was hearing single-letter `I` on ``2097``, so could that be the same
unknown site coming back, miskeying? Was it really 2097.3-CW? I don`t
get any significant search hits on 2217 or AAR6SM; must be
well-veiled. Anyone know where he be? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF
RADIO 2060)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2059 monitoring: a couple of
obvious mistakes in previous report of Nov 11 said Nov 12, fixed:

WOR 2059 confirmed Wed Nov 11 from 2200:21 on WBCQ 7490+v, S9/+25,
nice to hear such a good signal from this, only in the B-seasons.

Also confirmed Wed Nov 11 at 2300 on WRMI 9955, S9+20/30 on one radio
here, S9+10/20 on another, over pulse jamming.

WOR 2059 final repeat confirmed UT Thursday really November 12 at 0100
on WRMI 7780, VG S9+5/15 into UTwente SDR.

WOR 2060 confirmed first broadcasts UT Friday Nov 13 at 0130 on WRMIs:
at Bonaire SDR, 5010 S9/+10, 5850 S7-S9 with noise similar to pulse
jamming which I have never heard at home. Here, 5010 is S9/+10 with
QRM from chirps about 5007, less than once a second and nothing to do
with WWV 5000 which BTW is weakened; 5850 S9+30 VG solid (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VENEZUELA. 6905.9v, Nov 13 at 0112, no signal audible from ROCV
into nearby Bonaire SDR; recheck 0213 still inaudible but waterfall
has a visible trace of something. Last time I heard it, modulation was
distorted, so maybe it crashed. Gone forever or not? Was always music,
nothing political, so Maduro had no reason to crush it.

[non] BTW, there is a little-noticed clandestine/opposition program
for a long time on WRMI, `Acontecer Venezolano`. Current skedgrid
shows it only twice: UT Fri at 0100-0115, UT Sun 0215-0230 both on
9955. BTW2, Mrs. White, Thaïs is from Venezuela, no doubt with family
there (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
