** CANADA. 351-MCW kHz, Nov 8 at 0743 UT, dash and YKQ, 500-watt ND
beacon at Fort Rupert - Waskaganish, Québec, which is on an inlet at
the very southern end of James Bay, near the Ontario border. No
problem separating from 350 RG at WRWA OKC.

346-MCW kHz, Nov 8 at 0744 UT, dash and YXL, 500-watt NDB at Sioux

** CUBA. 6100, Sunday November 8 at 0816, I am unfortunately not fully
asleep so check for weekly RHC Esperanto, confirmed in progress here
and nowhere else on 49m. Ex-0700 UT during DST. Next broadcast ex-1500
during DST is now from 1602 on 11760 and 15140, as 13700 has just
turned off. Opening gives schedule, on 6100 but missed copying the
alleged time; 1600 on 11760-only; 2230 on 15730 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Sun Nov 8 at 1439, `En Contacto` has already started
on RHC: not a word from ailing Arnie to be heard, as Marta Ríos reads
his script about solar activity, including mailbag acknowledgements,
one from February 2020 --- so an old show? One other voice is the AER
guy with monthly DX report from Spain, which is about only 3 stations:
V of Mongolia, R Clube do Pará, and RAE on 5800, failing to mention
that`s a detested WRMI relay; and as always laboriously spelling out
p-mail contact addresses. // frequencies on now include 11760, 13740 &
13700 lacking spurs, 15230 suptorted. Something`s always wrong at
RHC.

For fun, I check the RHC website for B-20 frequency schedule:

Would you believe this is still dated Abril 2016-Noviembre 2016?!?!

** U S A. 1150, Nov 8 at 0736 UT, besides KSAL Salina KS, I am hearing
Sousa march music, must be the scheduled DX test from KSEN Shelby,
Montana. Yes, 0737 very slow Morse Code MCW IDs: VVV DE KSEN, with
call repeated so many times I lose count. 0739 sweep tones; 0740 I
switch from the DX-398 with internal antenna only somewhat nulling
KSAL, to the R75 with E-W longwire where KSAL is more solid, but still
hearing underneath, KSEN now with continuous tone. 0742,
phone-off-the-hook pulse sounds. So that`s it. As I said, unheard 24
hours earlier, and it turns out that test was deficient at low power.
Tonight it`s widely heard from coast to coast at least. Shelby is near
Cut Bank, on I-15, only some 35 miles south of Alberta (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** GERMANY. 9669.850, Nov 7 at 1946, JBA music from Channel 292, needs
LSB tuning to avoid splash from much stronger 9675 music, Turkish from
Sa`udi Arabia. I`m checking it direct only to here. Has been testing
with new rotatable hi-gain antenna with 10 kW. Website has detailed
skedgrid for 9670 and other frequency programming, but nothing
specific here and now. It`s so small that it`s hard to make out the
programs, and low-res so zooming it up makes the blurs larger,
revealing that most of the 24/7 hours are not yet booked in English
and German. The azimuths to around here are 248-293-338, i.e. 45
degrees apart. Can there be any setting between, or only in these 8
steps? Rohrbach is in SE Germany west of Austria, and my NGS globe
shows the direxion to Enid is: 308 degrees so we are 15-30 degrees
split between. Others have reported same frequency offset within a
couple Hz. Seems a little weaker after 2000, maybe beam change.

Texas Radio Shortwave planned test to NAm via Channel 292 on 9670v,
UT Sun Nov 8 at 0300-0400. At 0253 I start listening via TWR Raleigh
NC SDR: some VP music averaging S3; at UTwente S6-S7 but not enough.
After 0300 I cannot recognize it as TRSW for sure; still same at
Raleigh and UTwente. Nothing here in OK, nor to noisy Maine SDR. Just
heard QSL announcement at 0315-0316. Brasil 9665- is much stronger
everywhere. Clearly WRMI is preferable for TRSW to here, as tried on
5800, 24 hours earlier, which I reported and QSLed (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [non]. 13590.059, Nov 7 at 1936, fair S7-S9 in Amerenglish,
off-frequency, VOA? Yes, scheduled this hour only via Pinheira, SÃO
TOMÉ, now well-known for its frequency-imprecision. Another VOA
service is on ``13590``, Ashna Radio at 13-14 via UAE site, likely
with a different offset. In between, others via Lampertheim, Kuwait
likely closer to 13590.00 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2059 monitoring: confirmed Saturday November
7 from 2033.7 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, Wentzville MO, S9+10 steady local
quality signal into nearby Warrenton MO KiwiSDR. Back at 2026, Amateur
Radio Newsline was ending, then Vern spent a few minutes about
scheduling of St Louis-area repeater nets.

Also confirmed Sat Nov 7 at 2300 on WRMI 7780, VP here but definitely.
This relatively new airing has disappeared from the WRMI skedgrid,
replaced by something else, so I removed it from my WORsked --- but
checking it anyway, there I am.

``Bayto Yiakl USA – The Only Way Forward --- About Us

Bayto Yiakl USA is non-profit organization created by Eritreans

Yiakl popular movement in the United States of America with the vision
to build a peaceful, prosperous country, where rule of law, human
rights, social justice, values and cultures of all citizens are
ensured under the guidance of constitutional democratic principles.``

Then I retrieve discussion about same on the WOR iog::

Ivo Ivanov:
``Radio Voice of Steadfastness / Sawt Al-Somood

https://baytoyiakl.org/
So now we finally know who produces these broadcasts... Kai``

Dave Kenny:
``This is Bayto Yiakl as per the WRMI schedule. I checked last week
and confirmed this ID, (it did not identify as Sawt al Samood last
week and appears to be a different station.) 73s Dave``

Alan Pennington:
``There are Eritrean "Bayto Yiakl" organisations in the USA and UK,
with websites, Facebook pages e.g. https://baytoyiakl.org/ The "Voice
of Bayto Yiakl" programme links from August on this US website show
17545 (kHz?). Translating from Tigrinya, "Bayto" seems to mean
"assembly" and "Yiakl" seems to mean "Enough is enough". 73, Alan``

Zacharias Liangas:
``from this page:
https://baytoyiakl.org/ti/home-page-%e1%89%b5%e1%8c%8d%e1%88%ad%e1%8a%9b/
as Tigre is not available and using Amharic to Goo translate

ሕቡራት መንግስታት ኣመሪካ (ḥiburati menigisitati amerīka) translates into

Just a report: 17545.04 with open carrier 75/140 dB before 1530 then
IDing as “densi atl“ mentioning many times America and Mathias and
their tel number, only once I heard Bayto Yaki [sic]

Its carrier is wandering in between 100 Hz. Video:
https://youtu.be/oQ_ZfnXZ3-Y
Included here a photo on how the carrier wanders`` --- Zach

More from Kai Ludwig:
``I think Sawt al Samood is Arabic, so would no longer be heard
anyway, with all programming being in Tigrinya now? On the other hand
transferring a weekly transmission slot from one organization to
another already happened with the Rwanda broadcasts from Talata
Volonondry.

See the text at the start page https://baytoyiakl.org for its
references to Ethiopia. This aspect could soon become very topical,
there are fears that Eritrea could engage in what happens since three
days in Tigray, explicitly called a war by the head of DW Amharic who
adds that "one can only hope that Paris, Berlin and London will take
notice of it also in the coronavirus winter".
https://p.dw.com/p/3kxcC

It could be worth to check out the Mekele broadcasting station and its
transmission on 5950 kHz via the Addis Abeba (Geja Dera) shortwave
plant. This relay seems to be the only possibility to monitor it,
unless the footprint of
https://de.kingofsat.net/tp.php?tp=12166
(3.720 GHz) does not cut off over southern Europe as the official
specification shows. A poor SD relay of the TV programming appears to
be relayed on
https://de.kingofsat.net/tp.php?tp=408
too, unless this (and of course the original Belintersat feed) are not
something completely different. Nothing online anymore, at least not
at the dimtsiwoyane.com URL which they let expire. Kai``

keeps running silently; 0140 fill music inserted by Monticello; but
resumed shortly; 0142 lost again, 0143 back again in time to
datestamp as ``6th of November, YOOL 2020``. 0145 caller asks for his
opinion about the elexion so he explains the subject is being avoided
for now. 0151 reads some pirate logs from Free Radio Weekly, mentions
thanx to Glenn. 0154 e-mail, someone wonders whatever happened to
screaming preacher Terry Blalock? He ran out of funding. AHW assures
us ``he`s a sweetheart``, paid bills on time. Starts to scream in
tribute but stops before damaging lungs. Ramsey says he picked up KDKA
anniversary on antique radios. 0157 benedixion (Glenn Hauser, OK,

nortena music no doubt gospelic, instead of DX program `Frecuencia al
Dia` scheduled Monday & Friday --- but websked is still dated 8 March
2020 for DST season, while all programming has surely shifted one UT

No DFing on the longwire. This season around this hour, 774 might bear
not only RNE Valencia, Spain, today`s LSR 0637; but also NHK Akita,
Japan, LSS 0731. What about ABC Melbourne? LSS today not until 0901
UT; latest, two months from now, will be 0946, while Valencia`s latest
SR in two months will be 0722, all per gaisma.com. RNE has several

is the mayor (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

rarities from elsewhere in Canada; weak 250-watt, 413-MCW, YHD from
Dryden, Ont (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, Nov 5 at 1441, none in the WOOB 13s, 12s
or 10s, but weak Chinese on 11120, JBA carriers on 11440, 11460 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Nov 4 at 2019, RHC first English of the day confirmed
usual non-DST shift to one UT hour later from 2000, VG S9+20 with OK
modulation altho often not (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2059)

** CUBA. 6100, Nov 5 at 0644, RHC English again on this frequency
instead of erroneous 5910 23 hours ago, // 6145 and 5040 also on an
hour later than in summer, all with OK modulation but 6000 is
suptorted. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF
RADIO 2059)

** CUBA. 13638 & 13763 approx., Nov 5 at 1433, RHC Spanish extremely
distorted FMish spurblobs with F# tones are back! after quite a spell
missing, about S9 out of even stronger fundamental 13700. But only
trace of further multiples circa 13566, 13826, 13886.

Nov 5 at 1520 I blobcheck again: approx. 13763 but much weaker on
13638, while 13700 is S9+10/20 with good modulation. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2059)

** CUBA. 15140, Nov 5 at 1518, RHC `Sonido Cubano` music is ruined by
suptorted modulation out of this S9+20; // 15230 is relatively OK,
just undermodulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PUERTO RICO. 391-MCW kHz, Nov 5 at 0703 UT, NDBeacon DDP with
strong 1-kW signal all the way from Dorado, like that from 248 WG
Winnipeg. I was tuned to 389 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
