** NORTH AMERICA. 6914-USB, Nov 18 at 2259, pirate music at first hard
to pinpoint until a voice could sound about right here. Heavy beat
dance music at the rate of 128/minute - slightly more than disco which
is about 120. No announcements between breaks, nor any caught in
sporadic chex past 2326 still going. Good modulation better than many
big guns achieve, and S8-S9. Many many logs here as Mix Radio
International

starting with this one 3 hours ago:
``Details: 2020 - Ultra-wide USB - with jazz fusion music « Last Edit:

** TURKEY. 5960, Wed Nov 18 at 2312, VOT English to us underway, S7-S9
with `Review of Foreign Press` for only a sesquiminute with little but
headlines from several agencies; 2313.5 `Today in History` -- first
something about the Ottoman Empire in 1900y, the last date I thought
said ``November 12``? which would not be today. 2316.8-2318.6, reel of
multilingual IDs, then songs, not `Letterbox` theme, and still no
mailbag since August at its former regular spot. Now there`s a LAH
maybe from East Turkistan clash (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2060 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday November
18 from 2200:21.5 on WBCQ 7490.15v, S9+5/20.

Also confirmed Wed Nov 18 from 2300 on WRMI 9955, S9+30 generally over

Those who are so opposed to ``antifa`` --- don`t they realize then,
that by definition they are PRO-FASCIST? Do they really want to
go there? (gh)

This report dispatched at 0027 UT November 19

** CUBA. 6100, Nov 18 at 0704, RHC English is S9+30 but just barely
modulated, in fact suptorted; also 6000 but undermodulated. Not on
6145 or 6060 or 5040 which might have provided usable audio. Still
waiting for B-20 changes to kick in. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13633 & 13768 approx., Nov 18 at 1454, S9+20 of spurblobs out
of 13700 RHC, just garbage in SSB mode when trying to pinpoint them,
but mostly readable modulation in AM or FM mode, which clearly
audiblize the accompanying F# above-middle-C telltale tone, and I have
just reconfirmed that note on my keyboard = approx. 370 Hz if A = 440
per
https://pages.mtu.edu/~suits/notefreqs.html

Then I search for more at intervals of 67-68 kHz and sure do find
them, the outer ones only by the F# signature, down to 6th order:
13293, 13362, 13432, 13499, 13566; not so many on the plus side:
13837, 13906, 13972 but not within the 20m hamband. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 11725, Nov 18 at 0700, RNZ news at S7-S9, the SSOB by
far and almost the OSOB if it were not for JBA carriers on 11530,
11670, 11680, 11760, 11815, 11870, 11880, 11980. Glad to hear this
propagating and hope it keep up all our night for those awake. Before
0659 it`s on 13840, not so good. Current websked shows:
06:59 - 09:58 11725 Pacific Daily
09:59 - 12:58 11725 NW Pacific Solomon Isl PNG Mon - Fri
09:59 - 12:58 11725 Pacific Sat Sun
This means the middle block switches to their NNW antenna instead of
the otherwise NNE beam better for us (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 34, Nov 18 at 1553 UT, BAD signal here is the only
sign of DX in a ch 6-36 bandscan despite not being inside a tropo
blob; most likely KMYT-TV Tulsa, 812.5 kW, than 8 or 9 LPs/translators
around the state (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A. WRMI anomalies: 5850, Nov 18 at 0707, S9+30 of dead air
except for big hum instead of TOMBS. I wonder if gone all night? See
below.

5950, Nov 18 at 0709, S9+10 of undermodulated gospel huxter in
Spanish. System F with Fámily Radio in Spanish, WYFR remnant, is now
scheduled at this odd hour daily here on WRMI-5, target SW US &
México, where at least it`s before midnight PST.

9395 & 9455, Nov 18 at 1543, S7/S9+10 of dead air and also 9955 still
radiating at S9+10, i.e. lost feed from Walterboro, still succeeding
onto 9980 WWCR, whew. The other active WRMIs are modulating something
else on 7780, 15770, and probably JBA 21525. Via the Alexandria remote
I keep on 9395, until finally it remodulates TOMBS from 1631.5 during
some other g.h. than BS about the Roman Empire, and also // 9455 and
9980.

7780, Nov 18 at 1602, WRMI-1 in Spanish about Argentina; o yeah, sked
now at very odd time for Germany is RAE in ``German``, a language it
has in fact switched to by 1606 mentioning this very frequency as I am
listening via Virginia SDR which gets it poorly S9 vs noise, but much
better than directly. The three nines are still dead air as above, and
maybe 5950 but too weak to be sure. Key West TWR SDR can`t even hear
it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, Nov 18 at 1542, not even a JBA carrier from the WBCQ
Super-station, must be OFF despite registered 14-16 with only 250 kW
at 300 degrees for CIRAF 2 & 3 = western ``Canada``. Back on at 1623
blasting WLC Brit-accented know-it-all gospel huxter now that it`s
supposedly 500 kW at 57 degrees, 16-18 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1807 UT November 18

** CANADA. 2749-USB, Nov 18 at 0253, synthyl in French with marine
weather, S8 vs local noise level of S7. Dxinfocenter.ca shows the
latest start among the four Canadian CG stations timesharing 2749 is
0240 from VCS-21, 1500 watts from Halifax, NS but not marked as
bilingual. Nothing heard nor scheduled at this time from Newfoundland
on 2598-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CAYMAN ISLANDS. Andy Robins replies to my non-log of CBC, appended
to my yes-log of Puerto Rico beacon: ``Glenn: Regarding your question
about the non-directional beacon CBC on 415 kHz on Cayman Brac, Cayman
Islands: someone on the NDB List reflector posted a report last week
stating that, per a NOTAM (Notice to Airmen), this beacon has been
"permanently withdrawn" from service. 73, Andy Robins, Kalamazoo,
Michigan USA`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA? 4940, Nov 18 at 0224, good S9/+10 signal direct from
anonymous mystery missionary station, gospel huxter in Spanish (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. It`s Nov 17 into UT Nov 18, when RHC B-20 changes are finally
supposed to go into effect, according to Arnie, but they have not. Did
he tell the tri-site transmitter operators? Our monitoring:

15370, Nov 17 at 2202, tune in too late to hear the entire Spanish
frequency announcement but I don`t expect it to be brand-new. VG here,
nothing yet on new 13680 supposedly for Europe. Nothing on 11880
supposed to be revived this hour for English to Africa, nor on
previously used 9720 or 7380. Opening `Revista Nuestra América` as
scheduled Mon-Sat at 5-7 pm = 22 UT: at least they have the 5-hour
winter time conversion correct. // 11800 is still on with plus/minus
10 JBA parasites, not 11850; 11760 is overmodulated; // 9535, 9640 not
9650, 5040, 13740. Something`s always wrong at RHC. Further:

5025, Nov 17 at 2235, R. Rebelde is on with OK mod after missing
yesterday, S9+15/25 but less than 5040 RHC at S9+20/30.

6145, Nov 18 at 0109, RHC English is still here and still going by
0100; not on 9700 yet.

4765, Nov 18 at 0223, R. Progreso music is suptorted at S9+30.

5025, Nov 18 at 0225, R. Rebelde music is undermodulated at S9+10.

Don`t you believe this version of the RHC schedule
http://www.radiohc.cu/de-interes/programacion
which is undated but with plenty of long-gone frequencies, like 17580,
17750, 17730, 9850, 9820, 9550, 6165, 6075, 11840; 11670 for English
at 20-21 --- I can`t remember that ever in use. Under that heading I
was looking for a *program* schedule with names and times of
individual shows, but instead it is a far-outdated transmission
schedule. Wake up, ``Webmaster: Reinier Clemente López``, if not also
outdated.

It does show after 22 UT, `Revista Nuestra América`, which quite some
time ago replaced the broader more generic `Revista Informativa de la
Tarde`. ``Our America`` --- is Cuba laying claim to the entire
continent, infecting The Revolution everywhere, i.e. excluding the US
of America? Or is this magazine restricted to info concerning the W
Hemisphere only? If not, why call it that? Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6970-AM, Nov 18 at 0210-0250+, S7-S8 JBA soft music,
at first piano, no announcements thru 0221 at least, presumably a
pirate; one other unID log of this at:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,74437.0.html
from someone in Alabama, ``unid 6970.07 am 0215 utc 18 Nov 20 « on:
Today at 02:17 » Unid station with music signal that is weak. Thanks
for the show. Signal has drifted to 6969.9 am « Last Edit: Today at
02:20 by blw »``. 6970 is also a 24-hour Sound of Hope + CNR1 jamming
frequency, but format and propagation time are both to the contrary
for both (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 11720, Nov 17 at 2233, steady S9+25 of dead air --- surely
it`s VOA Grimesland, having failed to turn off at 2200*. It`s
certainly not VN1 from Vietnam, only thing scheduled in HFCC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7490.1v, Tue Nov 17 at 2205, WBCQ poor signal with `AAAWWW`
playback filler; at 2226 reading an article about pioneer station WWJ
Detroit. Oh2, this hour the pioneer hacker show `Off the Hook` from
WBAI is on the websked; what happened? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WRMI observations: 5850, Nov 18 at 0229, is OFF, but back on
with TOMBS when checked at 0410. At 0230, 5800 is nominal; 5950 is JBA
presumed WRMI? But the 7s are ON, with 7780 nominally to the NE now a
surprising S9+20 saying ``Bible Commentary`` but immediately into
Brazuguese; 7730 and 7570 both S9+40 of BS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Reply to my hearing WJHR 15555-USB on air again: ``I had,
indeed, been checking periodically. The last time was Sunday (15
November) at around 1630 UT. They weren't back on yet then. -- Richard
Langley`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, Nov 18 at 0212 check, WRNO is gone again (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9385, Nov 18 at 0257 check, S4-S6 of something presumably
WEWN English too high/close/offbeam to propagate well; On Nov 16, Ivo
Ivanov reported that this was OFF the air from 0000 to 0900, but I
wonder if it was just not propagating all the way to Bulgaria (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VENEZUELA. Re 6906 ROCV off the air, Manuel Méndez, Spain got this
communique from station in the form of a jpg, which I transcribe as
non-punxuated but at least axentuated:

``COMUNICADO --- Estamos fuera de transmisión Por fallas técnicas y
eléctricas pronto estaremos nuevamente al aire ING Gregorio Kina está
trabajando para solucionar esta problemática`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Nov 18 at
0100-0108: 1575, 1548, 1539, 1521, 1503, 1341, 1314(2), 1305(2),
*1215(2), 1179, 1152(2), 1134(2), 1107(2), 1098(2), 1053, 1044, 999,
981, 936(2), 909, *891, *882(2), 855(2), 837, 819, 801, 774(2), 747,
729, 711, 693, 684(2), 639(2), 621, 612, 585, 567 ?566.4?, 549,
531(2).

I am making a point of surveying these now, altho an hour earlier
would be even better, since recently some signals from ``China`` have
been reported as far as Michigan on 1521 and 1098. With Sa`udi off
1521 after 2230v, any carrier there attracts attention. 1521 at 00-02
UT is CRI via Urumqi, East Turkistan, land of cultural genocide and
ChiCom brainwashing of Uyghurs; in Russian with 500 kW, per EiBi,
first hour to Siberia, second to Central Asia, so presumably with a
beam change around 0100 more favorable to us. There is nothing else in
Eurasia on 1521 over 10 kW. 1098 could be CNR-11 domestic service in
Tibetan, 1000 kW from Golmud altho there are several lesser
possibilities. * = strongest signals during this check; (2) = at least
two carriers beating. 566.4 could be a local birdie; no such variants
known. Of course I am unlikely to get any identifiable language audio,
but I keep doing this to confirm that at least remnants of all these
stations do penetrate so deep into North America (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CANADA. Not a single lightning strike anywhere in USA or Canada
showing at Blitzortung, Nov 17 at 0645 UT, so should be a great
low-noise night for beacon DX -- other than from local sources. So
bandscanning away:

376-MCW kHz, Nov 17 at 0658 UT, dash and YAG is JBA, 40 watts from
Fort Frances, Ontario.

366-MCW kHz, Nov 17 at 0701 UT, dash and YMW, 500 watts from Maniwaki,
Quebec.

355-MCW kHz, Nov 17 at 0703 UT, dash and YWP, 200 watts from Webequie,
how do you pronounce that?, Quebec, ``To Be Decommissioned
2021-02-25``.

351-MCW kHz, Nov 17 at 0705 UT, dash and YKQ, 500 watts from Fort
Rupert - Waskaganish, Quebec; I`m tuned to 350-USB, hearing this at
same time as next one, and nothing from RG 350 at WRWA OKC.

350-MCW kHz, Nov 17 at 0705 UT, dash and NY, 400 watts from eNderbY,
British Columbia, mixing with YKQ-351 at different pitches but nothing
from RG at WRWA OKC, normally owning 350. Beacons from BC are very
rare here. Enderby is between Armstrong and Grindrod, just north of
Vernon and Kelowna, east of Kamloops; from Enid, 2313 km = 1437
statute miles. Hurry up: ``To Be Decommissioned 2021-02-25``

344-MCW kHz, Nov 17 at 0711 UT, dash and YC, 100 watts from Calgary,
Alberta, yet another ``To Be Decommissioned 2021-02-25``

335-MCW kHz, Nov 17 at 0713 UT, dash and YLD, 1000 watts from
Chapleau, Ontario.

276-MCW kHz, Nov 17 at 0717 UT, dash and YEL, 200 watts from Elliott
Lake, Ontario. I did skip past even others more often logged (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer search, Nov 17 from 1343: none WOOB in the 13s,
12s, until at 1350 JBA on 11170, 11150, 11120, 10160; 9 MHz not
checked (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6145, Nov 17 at 0649, RHC English still here, for the last
time? S9+20 and undermodulated. Supposedly to be replaced by 9700 from
this date, so maybe by UT Nov 18. Reactivated 6060 is not yet on
either, and something weak not // on 9700. Something`s always wrong at
RHC. Next to check: whether the ``Africa`` service in English really
resume at 22-23 on 11880 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, Nov 17 at 1546, RHC is S7-S9 but JBM; while 15140 is
S9+10 with sufficient modulation level but somewhat distorted, just as
music show `Sonido Cubano` is ending; whew. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6925-AM, Nov 16 at 2257 algo JBA, unID pirate.
Latest log in HFUnderground was almost 2 hours earlier, ``Pathetic
President Radio``, so by now could be something else.
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,74396.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. We are in marginal level-1 tropo enhancement Nov 17 at 15
UT per Hepburn map, so I hopefully bandscan for UHF/VHF DTVDX into my
broken antenna on its bent mast: something Bad on RF 35, and RF 15 OKC
is not decoding, implying DX QRM. W9WI.com is still out of order, FCC
info not grabbing, displaying nothing but Canada on ch 35; but by
state one can search OK for . Besides several low-power
translators not very close, two most likelies are:

K35MV-D, Concho near OKC, 15 kW I have seen before, the first-nations
station; and KUOK Woodward, 8 kW Univision. It seems that the other
resource, rabbitears.com cannot display stations in channel order! In
case I could be getting Kansas or something. Primary ordering is by
market size, OKC being #50 but somehow including other towns like
Woodward. Tulsa, OTOH, #63 does not lead to any subcities with
sublistings (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** PUERTO RICO. 391-MCW kHz, Nov 17 at 0605 UT, ND beacon DDP, which
is 1000 watts from San Juan - Dorado. Not always audible, but when it
is, a good sign of enhanced almost-LW propagation, my most distant
`regular` beacon.

[non] Which reminds me, in bandscans have not heard Cayman Islands in
a long time, last logged Feb 23, so off the air? On 415 kHz, CBC
Cayman Brac with 600 watts still listed at dxinfocentre.com (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Nov 16 at 2300, REE opening English since it`s Monday,
Alison Hughes about the mysterious assassination of poet Federico
Garcia Lorca at beginning of the Spanish Civil War in 1936 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Nov 16 at 2256, VOT IS and English IDs, S9+10, so
back in whack after missing this emission yesterday. Something`s not
erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2060 monitoring: From 1850 UT Mon
Nov 16 I`m on 7290 via UTwente, conveniently listening elsewhere in
the house via my RF feeder set to 92.1 MHz; big splash from adjacents
at first, *1858.2 IRRS carrier on and quiet. The trouble is, my
too-smart feeder turns itself off thinking there is nothing to feed,
before IRRS modulates s/on or WOR can be heard, and before I can get
back to bypass it. But by 1909 check, WOR is OK in progress.

Missed checking UT Tue Nov 17 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, and even the new
sked time of UT Tue Nov 17 at 0200 on WRMI 9955; did anyone hear
them?

Confirmed UT Tue Nov 17 at 0330 on WRMI 5800, VG into Bonaire SDR.

** U S A. 9955, Nov 16 at 2146, WRMI is on with TOMBS, which it had
been doing all-day while 9395 was down, but supposedly now back in a
break until 2200, filled only on webcast by music. // 15770 also
TOMBS, while 9395 // 5800 with SMTV, 9455 with YWS or BB`s other
radical political show (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15555-USB, Nov 17 at 1545, gospel huxter at S5, so WJHR
Milton FL is back! Had been missing since hurricane hit the Panhandle,
and I`ve been alert for it in daily bandscans across here; altho
possibly was on earlier but just not propagating.

First noted missing Sept 18 following Hurricane Sally, ``The SWBC
station, or rather glorified ham rig, most likely to have been blown
away by Hurricane Sally, Milton FL near Pensacola. Seldom audible
anyway. It will be of note if anyone definitely hear it again``

to which Richard Langley replied Sept 26: ``WJHR typically comes in
well here in NB. Nothing heard this afternoon (26 September) when
checked at 1724 UT, not even a weak carrier. Power doesn't appear to
be out at the 5920 Oak Manor Drive, Milton, residence according to
Gulf Power, so perhaps the antenna tower is down or there is other
station damage. Will continue to periodically check 15555 kHz --
Richard Langley`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1827 UT November 17

** 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
beacons at different pitches: FMZ, which is from Fairmont - Beklof,
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
Hot Springs, Arkansas. I was tuned to 383-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** 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
Bonaire SDR where it`s aimed, no jamming audible. Next:

1900vUT Monday IRRS 7290 Bulgaria to WNW, 594-Italy

** 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)
