** ARMENIA. 9290, Nov 24 at 1355 past 1400 with no break, S Asian language at S6-S9. Still there but weaker at 1417 vs running-H2O QRM. It`s TWR-India via Gavar, in Hindi daily 1345-1415, amid a total span of 1315-1445 in various languages. Aoki/NDXC shows Hindi until 1420 on weekdays, otherwise English until 1425*, extended to 1445* weekends (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** BRAZIL. UNIDENTIFIED. 4925, Nov 25 at 0217, JBA talk, equivalent VP signal to S Americans on 4940, 4885. Only 4925 in EiBi is Korean numbers not at this hour but if on would not be propagating. WRTH 2020 has 5 kW Rádio Rural, Tefé, Amazonas, Brasil as irregular. Aoki/NDXC shows 0930-0200 as if regular. Not reported lately, but found this from JRX in Brasil: ``4925. Apr 15, 2020. 0313-0333, Rádio Educação Rural de Tefé, Tefé-AM, in Portuguese. A musical program with variety songs; Female voice; A song; Male voice, ID and announcements; 0331 A song; 0333 Ends and sign-off. Poor reception.`` I don`t get around to checking TWR Bonaire SDR for this until 0333 --- nothing there (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. CNR1 jammer search WOOB November 24 at 1346: JBA Chinese or JBA carriers: 11500, 11460, 11440, 11150, 11100, 10870; none in the 14s, 13s, 12s; 9315, 9300, 9180 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11850, Nov 24 at 2205, RHC is dead air, then ramps up to JBM Spanish, perhaps a typical sign-on warmup, only S4-S7 as is English on 11880. Something`s always wrong at RHC. But recheck at 2348, 11850 is off. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 9700, Nov 25 at 0222, RHC English is S5-S7, undermodulated, unusable. Only //, 6000 is even worse, S9/+10 and JBM. Somethings are always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6924.884-AM, Nov 25 at 0223, VP S7-S8 music, only pirate activity now; 0232 brief announcement, more music, LA? 0253 still going, at 0254 into MCW, but fading and only partially copiable and perhaps with errors; ``CA - OA - OIAEN - ZAN - ORA - ABEC``, until 0258*. Thought it might be Nova, which does CW IDs, but no fit. KIPM was reported on ``6925`` as late as 0130, but in USB: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,74782.0.html Stardust Five Laser Radio was on 6925-AM, but not since 2158 Nov 24: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,74777.0.html I was hoping someone on HFU would have IDed this and/or copied the code. Nor any old hits there on the exacter frequency 6924.9 -- but I had such a log last Feb, which led back to Captain Morgan SW in May 2017 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** PANAMA. 18146.8-USB, Nov 24 at 2155, HP3SS working US stations, at 30 miles from Costa Rican border in western Panamá. Sounds like an American --- no, Canadian, without a specific address in QRZ.com: ``HP3SS Panama flag Panama, Robby Robertson, Volcan, Panama. QSL: via AC2OV`` and: ``Please do not send mail to Panama. I will not recieve it. Please do not QSL via buro. I do not recieve cards from the QSL buro. I have been living in Panama since October 2015. I operated as HP3/VY2SS for a year while I waited for my Panama call. I enjoy contesting and DX. My equipment is: Flex 6400 and Ameritron AL-1200. Antennas are: 20M-6M - 3 element Steppir yagi at 75 feet. Please QSL direct to AC2OV with SAE and sufficient return postage. Previous calls - VY2SS, CY9SS, VE2/VY2SS, VE7ARS, VE8HF, VE3FYB, VE1AGN``. BTW, in my daytime bandscans between the ham and bc bands, I routinely tune across the 17.9+ MHz aero band --- and *never* encounter any activity. EiBi lists a number of stations around the world available 24 hours, starting with Albrook, Panamá on 17901. Maybe the aeronauts are writing off this band as dead even when it isn`t (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 414-MCW kHz, Nov 24 at 0708 UT, ND beacon ATS, which is 25 watts from ArTeSia, New Mexico; also audible tuned to 412-USB. Last logged Oct 6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 21250-USB, Nov 24 at 1859, WW2DX calling CQDX 15, good signal yet the OSOB; what a desirable vanity callsign: ``WW2DX USA flag USA, Lee J Imber, Pawling, NY 12564 USA``. Per QRZ.com he`s quite the DX-peditioner, including Sable Island postponed from Oct 2020 to Oct 2021 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2061 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday November 24 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, VG S9+15/20 via UTwente; at 0121 check direct, poor S8-S9. Also confirmed UT Tue Nov 24 at new time 0200 on WRMI 9955, S9+10 direct. Also confirmed UT Tue Nov 24 at 0330 on WRMI 5800, S9+10/20 direct. Next: 2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 2300 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 to SSE 0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support: by MO or check in US funds on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 Or via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. I neglected to include the time of UB`s TG special, fixed: (7490.1v), UT Tue Nov 24 from 0000, WBCQ webcast cuts off some wacko conspiracy talk for 50% of `Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot`, replay from 25 hours ago when it all aired; starting with a scrotum song, but we have been warned. Also plugs his TG special UT Fri Nov 27 *at 0300-0400* on 6160v & 7490v. I often catch this semi-repeat due to a scheduling conflict the day before (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5085, Nov 25 at 0215, WTWW-2 is S9+30 with request request, not so distorted as the music before and after it, tsk2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 10533-USB, Nov 24 at 1348, 2-way in language, maybe Indonesian, as I am patrolling for CNR1 jammers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0418 UT November 25

** CANADA. 284-MCW kHz, Nov 23 at 0719 UT, dash and QD, 500 watts from The Pas, Manitoba. Evidently the name is not Anglo-French; The Canadian Encyclopedia says: ``The origin of the name is uncertain, but it may be the Cree word W'passkwayaw, meaning “wooded narrows” (in the river) ... The Pas Band (now the Opaskwayak Cree Nation) surrendered the townsite in 1906 and moved to reserve lands on the north bank of the Saskatchewan River. Jun 11, 2019``. Well, cutting it to three letters is a whew goodthing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** COLOMBIA? 4940, Nov 23 at 0311, quick check of Bonaire SDR finds usual good signal of gospel huxter in Spanish from anonymous mystery missionary station -- AMMS? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 9535, Nov 22 at 2327, RHC JBA under multiple collision, Commies vs Commies: Aoki/NDXC shows CNR1 jamming, RFA Tibetan via Kuwait; and also CRI English via Kunming. In fact seems to be an echo on the Chinese from more than one site. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 6145, Nov 23 at 0312, no RHC English signal, at Bonaire remote, while 9700 is JBA, 6000 S8. To Missouri SDR, 9700 is VG S9+10, no 6145, and 6000 is S9+30 but JBM distorted --- must be `DXers Unlimited` minus Arnie as his sub talks about propagation. Another check at 0525: 9700 is on over CCI which would be Turkey; 6100 and 6060 are absent; 6000 suptorted; 6145 in Romanian which must be RRI, perhaps explaining why RHC evacuated tho I had not noticed this hour collision before. By 0608, 6100 is finally on, VG S9+30/40, so starting at 0600? Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11880, Nov 23 at 2111, RHC in French also reactivated and // synchronized 15140 distorted; 13680 now in Portuguese poor at S8-S9. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KUWAIT. 15540, 15530, 11970, Nov 23 from 1800, no signals from anything on R. Kuwait frequencies. Pedro Sedano, Spain, had recorded the 0800 UT sign-off announcement on 15530 saying that was on 11970 and English would resume at 1800-2100 on 15540 for Europe and North America --- altho morning English recently resumed replacing Arabic, still no evening English, unless on and not propagating, but I doubt that, rather a very old recorded outdated announcement. But perhaps there be hope. That transmission presumably still exist at least on FM & AM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MADAGASCAR. 11610, Nov 23 at 2145, MWV in correct language, Chinese, always VG >> 4.000 MHz higher, 15610 WEWN English; other MWV frequency 9765 in correct Portuguese altho the final praise song sounds Spanish until 2157 dead air with no closure (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO [and non]. 6185-, Nov 22 at 2319, XEPPM is S9, as always undermodulated, but now also with CCI, Chinese? No, per Aoki/NDXC, CRI in Mongolian this hour via Xianyang 59 site. Mexico`s last SW station don`t get no respect, as Ivo Ivanov also notes: ``Upcoming frequency change of NHK World Radio Japan via MBR Moosbrunn, Austria, ex-6155 from Nov 30: 0430-0500 NF 6185*MOS 300 kW / non-dir to WeEu English Mon-Fri 0500-0530 NF 6185*MOS 300 kW / non-dir to WeEu English Sat/Sun 0400-0430 on 6185*MOS 300 kW / 115 deg to N/ME Turkish Daily AWR *bad news for 6185 MEX 001 kW / non-dir to CeAm Spanish Daily XEPPM Radio Educacion!`` Per Aoki/NDXC other 6185 obstacles: China Huayi from 0915, VOK from 1000, and Vatican in Chinese until 2230 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, Nov 23 at 0605, no signal from VON (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6950.9-AM, Nov 22 at 2312, JBA music at S6 = QRN level. Insane Radio as reported here much better: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,74716.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 274-MCW kHz, Nov 23 at 0718 UT, ND beacon RG, which is 25 watts from Red WinG, Minnesota, a.k.a. Shoe City; and not to be confused with our RG on 350 in OKC. I was tuned to 272-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2061 monitoring: missed checking UT Mon Nov 23 at 0030 on WRMI 7730; did anyone hear it? Confirmed UT Mon Nov 23 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, G S9+10 at UTwente. Also confirmed UT Mon Nov 23 at 0230 on WRMI 7780, S8-S9 at UTwente; also on 5800, S9+25 into Pardinho, Brasil SDR; also almost synchronized on WRN webcast. Also confirmed UT Mon Nov 23 at 0400 on Area 51 webcast, after a Miller Beer commercial(?); but on WBCQ 6159.9 direct at 0427, JBA vs HNL = high noise level. Also confirmed UT Mon Nov 23 at 0430 on WRMI 9955, good S9+10/20/30 direct, as usual right after 2+ minutes of music fill from R. Prague relay, no ID break. No pulse jamming? Only audible during some RMI fades; still at good level toward end of semi-hour. You never know whether this transmission will be VG or JBA. Also confirmed Mon Nov 23 from 1901 on IRRS 7290 via Bulgaria, recorded via UTwente and checked later: *1857.5 carrier on quieting but still with annoying ACI splash continuing during WOR; almost 1900 IRRS sign-on with Milano PO Box and phone, 3 quick FSN headlines and then WOR: spotchecked intact for next 13 minutes at least. Next: 0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to NE 0200 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed?] NEW 0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 5800 to SSE 2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 2300 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 to SSE 0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support: by MO or check in US funds on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 Or via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5850, Nov 22 at 2314, Brother HyStairical is VP, only S6-S7, hard to believe it`s WRMI on NW beam which normally blasts in here. It`s as weak or even weaker than never-strong 5950 to WNW. Can`t be propagation, since 5800 WRMI is VG S9+25/30 with SMTV despite aimed SSE from FL. 5850 must be temporarily QRP, and is back up to full strength checked a few hours later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. (7490.1v), UT Tue Nov 24 from 0000, WBCQ webcast cuts off some wacko conspiracy talk for 50% of `Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot`, replay from 25 hours ago when it all aired; starting with a scrotum song, but we have been warned. Also plugs his TG special UT Fri Nov 27 on 6160v & 7490v. I often catch this semi-repeat due to a scheduling conflict the day before (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VENEZUELA. 6906, Nov 23 at 0311, quick check of Bonaire SDR finds still no trace of an ROCV signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0029 UT November 24

** ALASKA [non]. 13670, Sun Nov 22 at 1840, clear speech by YL in Russian about Yesus, i.e. KNLS via its other station MWV MADAGASCAR; tnx to tip from Richard Langley. This hour is supposed to be `African Pathways Radio` in English. RL has previously heard them running KNLS in English. Now it`s not only the wrong ``station`` but wrong language. It`s almost as if they are randomly grabbing program files to put on the transmitter. 1847 indoctrinated kids singing `Jesus Loves Me`.
Transmission break before 1900, but 13670 back on by 1902, again in Russian! Instead of Arabic scheduled now. Also S7-S9 direct. 1927 KNLS ID. Axually this seems to be a transmitter mixup. The other one is scheduled in Russian at 18-19 on 9880, 19-20 on 9845. What`s on them now? Well, at 1940, 9845 via UTwente is playing ``Light My Fire``, in English, hardly a gospel song, extended version. 1946 segué to another hard rock song with screamer, maybe Janis Joplin? I`m no rockficionado. 1951 another familiar hard rock song to 1955*, never any announcements, so can`t tell what language service this was supposed to be --- but hardly the fare to be expected out of World Christian Broadcasting, despite its relatively diverse format on KNLS & MWV. Could it be that they have rented out one transmitter to something else, and consolidated their own programming on the other one, resulting in these language mixups at Mahajanga? 13710, after 9845 goes off, I retune UTwente to the next scheduled frequency for Arabic at 2000, and its carrier pops on at *1955.8, S9+20; 2000 ME music starts, and Radio Feda ID mentioning Mauritania, and so really in MWV Arabic. 11965, checked at 2001, Arabic song, and announcements by same M&W but no mention of Feda and definitely not // 13710 --- two separate Arabic programs at once. Instead of scheduled English. Later does mention Feda in passing. 2015 with times in Greenwich and Qahira. WHAT is going on here?? All of these with VG signals into UTwente. BTW, I misspoke on WOR 2061, about previous MWV anomalies, sometimes interchanging Chinese hour with Arabic, not ``African`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6100, Nov 22 at 0720, only RHC English frequency still on, S9+20 but suptorted as Arnie is speaking, Breakthru? 6000, 6145 are off, 6060 has not activated yet, and 9700 last night is gone tonight. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 9650, Sunday Nov 22 at 1442, RHC has managed to get back on new scheduled frequency, after misrunning 6950 both morning and evening yesterday, replacement for 7350. Amid `En Contacto` with Marta Rios, and then Prof. Arnaldo Coro Antich himself. Listened to a bit more of it on 13740 & 13700, without spurs today. Arnie is almost incomprehensible, babbling lickety-split --- you know, this almost sounds like he`s artificially sped up. Somewhere I have a cassette recorder with that feature, variable speed playback, so you can compress speech and listen to something in less time than originally, yet without raising the pitch as would happen by simply playing a reel tape faster. Is he really doing that in order to cram more content into limited time available? Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15700, Nov 22 at 1515, CRI Plus relay is S9+40, sup-torted and hummy. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GREECE [and non]. 9420, November 22 at 0722, great Greek Orthodox chanting since it`s Sunday morning, violating separation of church and state; meanwhile: 9645, Sun Nov 22 at 0723, Slavic chanting and singing at S5-S8, must be Vatican Radio, i.e. Ukrainian liturgy, from SMG, 0705-0800 Sundays only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MADAGASCAR. See ALASKA [non]! ** U S A. 383-MCW kHz, Nov 22 at 0729 UT, ND beacon CNP, 25 watts from Chappell, Nebraska. Axually could not copy third letter due to fade, but has to be this. 400-MCW kHz, Nov 22 at 0728 UT, ND beacon AHQ, which is 25 watts from Wahoo, Nebraska (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2061 monitoring: confirmed UT Sunday November 22 at 0416 UT on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, about 3 minutes into so started slightly early circa 0413; VG by local-range pickup at Warrenton MO SDR, with some storm crashes. Next: 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7730 to WNW 0130 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to NE 0230 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to NE, 5800 to SSE 0400vUT Monday WBCQ 6160v Area 61 to WSW 0430 UT Monday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE 1900vUT Monday IRRS 7290 Bulgaria to WNW, 594-Italy 0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to NE 0200 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed?] NEW 0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 5800 to SSE 2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 2300 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 to SSE 0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support: by MO or check in US funds on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 Or via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 7550-7590, Nov 22 at 0726, via WRMI 7570, TOMBS always bombs in here aimed right at us, but unusual to be splattering so out to plus/minus 20 kHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 6000, Nov 22 at 0719, RHC is off by now, but there is a JBA signal, possibly French? Aoki/NDXC shows these could be on at this hour: R. Guaíba, Brasil, which has been gone for years; AIR Leh, Ladakh, India, which is still active on night frequency 4760 but this is at midday; Echo of Hope, Korea S, and/or NK jamming --- if 6000 be its jumparound frequency this week; not much of a choice, but Ron Howard confirmed VOH on 6000 as of Nov 16 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2019 UT November 22

** BOLIVIA. 5952.50, Nov 21 at 2320, JBA carrier vs pointless Cuban pulse jamming, no doubt Radio Pio XII, Siglo XX on its signature split frequency, also vs 5950 WRMI; Ralphus Perry thinx it`s active only on Saturday nights. Still JBA carrier via indoor longwire due to thunder at 0108 UT Sunday Nov 22 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. 7325, Nov 21 at 2326, SE Asian language song and dramatic narration with extremely exaggerated dixion, S8-S9. Aoki/NDXC shows it`s CRI in Cantonese via Kunming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6950, Nov 21 at 2301, RHC Spanish is here again like it was for the morning broadcast, mispunched instead of missing 9650 probably from *2200v. S9+25/30 and distorted with some wild jazz --- or is that from the pirate jamming on the same frequency?? See NORTH AMERICA. By 2328 RHC is in the clear, and at 0103 Nov 22, when it`s the OSOB, no pirates around, tuning with indoor longwire due to thunder (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6145, Nov 22 at 0106 & 0324 chex, RHC English is back here after switch to 9700 for the first time last night. Changed their mind? Or weekend sloppyrator didn`t get the QSY message? There is a JBA carrier on 9700 at 0106 which would be RFA Kuwait in Uighur this hour only, and/or ChiCom jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6950-LSB, Nov 21 at 2301, R. Habana Cuba is again like this morning on 6950, a big mistake instead of 9650 by the incompetent lysdexic sloppyrator --- but with heavy QRM from a pirate which appears to be deliberately jamming it on LSB only --- about time RHC got jammed! By 2303 the pirate music has switched to SSTV beepery, 2304 a few clock chimes and back to music, hard-rock guitar and vocal, mostly overriding RHC also when tuned in AM mode, thanks to RHC carrier. Eric Fetters-Walp replies at 0017 on the WOR iogroup: ``Yes, indeed, that was the pirate known as Damn Skippy, famous for sending many SSTV images during his broadcasts. Both he and RHC were audible even in AM mode from here near Seattle.`` Many more reports here with SSTV images: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,74626.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6927-USB, Nov 21 at 2307, rock music peaks S8-S9; 2308 talk mentions ``for de moon[?], wishing a good weekend for all, 91.5? FM, quite low power tonight, outboard engine not on`` and something about the White House, 2310 off. Many reports here of ``Take Back the White House Radio``, altho one also mentions Zekey: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,74625.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6880-USB, Nov 21 at 2311, soft almost `space` music, at S9+5/25, still at 2328. Many reports here as Mix Radio International, as early as 1927, as late as 0253!: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,74604.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SCOTLAND [non]. 5850, UT Sun Nov 22 at 0100-0200, I listen to the entire `Encore` on WRMI, great classical music and great signal except for a bit of selective fading distortion to remind us that SW is a dynamic medium --- same edition as in 21/11 Playlist that I heard part of last night on a surprise prepeat at 0300 UT Sat on 5800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2061 monitoring: confirmed Saturday November 21 at 2032 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, Wentzville MO, about 1 minute in so started almost on-time of 2030. This does not necessarily mean the repeat will be at 0415, as there are plenty of variable-length hamshows in between. Local quality reception via nearby remote at Warrenton MO, but a few storm crashes. Also confirmed Sat Nov 21 at 2300 on WRMI 7780, VP S9-S5 direct.

** CHINA [and non]. 7545, Nov 21 at 1353, two Chinese stations mixing at almost same level, i.e. CNR1 jamming and VOA Mandarin via PHILIPPINES at 1300-1500. The ChiCom obviously have no shame, no sense of fairness, as USA allows CRI in unimpeded via CUBA on SW and even on domestic AM/FM stations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15700, Nov 21 at 1523, CRI English relay at S9+30 but undermodulated and hummy. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba but USA would never dream of jamming it, unlike vice versa (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 9700, Nov 21 at 0714, RHC English is still on here at S6-S9, better than // 6000; so supposed to run until 0800? But Ivo Ivanov says it cut off at 0735* and 6000 at 0710*[?]. Something`s always wrong at RHC. BTW, I missed it, but several others caught RHC on 6950 around 1400 Nov 21, which looks like a keypad punchup error by sloppyrator for new 9650 at 1200-1600, which was not to be heard. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** PRIDNESTROVYE. 11530, Nov 21 at 1527, Dengê Welat at S5-S8 in presumed Kurdish with long/short path echo. Annoying as it may be, a sign of improving propagation when a signal reach us both ways. Assuming this is not the Turkish jammer, distance from Grigoriopol`, Moldova to Enid is 5805 statute miles short, so long path 24900 minus 5805 = 19185. Difference between 19185 and 5805 is 13380 miles. At lightspeed of 186 kmiles/second, the echo delay computes to 0.072 second, or about one fourteenth of a second. Sounds about right (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 404-MCW kHz, Nov 21 at 0725, ND beacon XCR, which is 25 watts from Little Falls - Camp Ripley, Minnesota, between St. Cloud and Bemidji in central MN. I was tuned to 402-USB. New log here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 21220-USB, Nov 21 at 1918, KA2ABA in western New York, Steve, calling CQ after a contact with California. DXMAP shows sporadic E MUF over central USA up to 25 MHz, but that may have been double hop. 1919 contacts WC6H in Valley Springs, also audible here circa midpoint. OSOB until algo on 21300-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 18158-USB, Nov 21 at 1922, N4UT calling for check-ins before a 1930 net, but what? Calls from all over US, widely variable strengths. Retry 1947 finally names it, ``Ole Miss 17 meter net``. 26 stations are on the work-list, he will run thru so each may call another. More at omiss.net. N4UT admits he is in Virginia. Is this for alumni, or what? Apparently nothing to do with Oxford, rather stands for OM International Sideband Society. Does this mean YLs are excluded? Apparently for expediting award-chasing such as WAS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. 17700, Nov 21 at 1924, huge S9+20/30 signal slightly overmod/distorted in French with heavy African accent, got to be VOA Grimesland NC - not noticed before but in B-20 HFCC for one hour daily at 1900-2000, 250 kW almost due east and plenty to the west. Also a lite long-path echo which is getting close to the max from a site short-path so close. Soon to interviewer speaking proper French. Is it // 15730? Seems same but far out of synch and much weaker, chopping off at 1928*. 17700 still going past 1930 but with a program change. Then I find 15730 back on much stronger than before, S9+20 and now it is in synch with 17700; discussion about Burkina Faso. Yes, 15730 makes a site switch from BOTSWANA to GB at 1930, but it is anything but smooth (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2061 monitoring: confirmed Saturday November 21 at 1327 the 1300 on WRMI 15770, S8-S9 but poor here. Next: 2030vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM 2300 UT Saturday WRMI 7780 to NE 0400vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0415; as late as 0500] 0030 UT Monday WRMI 7730 to WNW 0130 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to NE 0230 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to NE, 5800 to SSE 0400vUT Monday WBCQ 6160v Area 61 to WSW 0430 UT Monday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE 1900vUT Monday IRRS 7290 Bulgaria to WNW, 594-Italy 0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to NE 0200 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed?] NEW 0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 5800 to SSE 2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 2300 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 to SSE 0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support: by MO or check in US funds on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 Or via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9955, Sat Nov 21 at 1529.5, WRMI-3 with edited classic WNYW ID mentioning SW target countries including United Arab Republic: the union of Syria and Egypt which lasted only 1958-1961y altho Wikipedia elucidates: ``a sovereign state in the Middle East from 1958 to 1971. It was initially a political union between Egypt (including the occupied Gaza Strip) and Syria from 1958 until Syria seceded from the union after the 1961 Syrian coup d'état — leaving a rump state. Egypt continued to be known officially as the United Arab Republic until 1971``. At 1530, 9955 starts in Spanish, but immediately blasted away by switch to Brother Hystairical incomprehensible rant, as TOMBS is extended Sabbathdays only past 1500 on several other frequencies for live disservice until 1700; yet sked is contradictory about 9955, still showing 1500-1530 S&S as `Full Gospel Hour`, with Blalock the Blaster, but I just missed confirming whether he was really still Touretting before 1529. Skedgrid also shows besides the daily TOMBS frequencies 1700-2100, 5800 also stays on Saturdays only. Confirmed at 1800 via TWR Key West KiwiSDR, *much* better than JBA 5950 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. 11252-USB, Nov 21 at 1342-1345*, 2-way in Spanish, reception good enough from both sides, but I can`t figure out what they are talking about, and wonder if even a native speaker could. Light QRM from VOLMET by YL on 11253-USB, which is getting a lot more QRM from this, i.e. RAF somewhere in UK (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2026 UT November 21
