** AUSTRALIA. 5055, Nov 3 at 0740, JBA carrier, presumed the 1 kW,
4KZ, Innisfail, Queensland, starting to show up before sunset approx.
0824 UT, now that I`m awake late enough (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** AUSTRIA. 5930, Nov 4 at 0058, BBC in some language, not too much
problem from 5935 WWCR. Probably Dari as HFCC shows Prs at 0030-0100 &
0130-0200, 300 kW eastward from Moosbrunn, sandwiching Pus probably
Pashto betwixt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 2749-USB, Nov 3 at 0742 UT, weak marine weather in English
by roboyl. DXinfocentre.com/mb shows it`s VCO, Sydney, Nova Scotia,
550 watts with the first broadcast of the early morning starting at
0740 UT among the 3 other stations in the NS area 2749 is time-shared
with.

2598-USB, Nov 3 at 0743, weak marine weather in English by roboyl
sounds quite like 2749 but probably not //. Dxinfocentre.com/mb shows
this one is VCP-4, Placentia, Newfoundland, 3000 watts, with the first
broadcast of the early morning starting at 0737 UT among the 5 other
stations in the NL area 2598 is time-shared with. During DST I was
hearing some of these an hour earlier so suspect their schedules be
time-shifted altho not so specified. Now they appear to match (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [non]. B-20 CRI relays: see CUBA

** COLOMBIA? 4940, Nov 3 at 0331, anonymous mystery missionary station
still going with gospel huxter in Spanish, S8/S9+10 into Bonaire SDR
with typical -5v Hz carrier offset in SynchAM mode.

Despite having found Timed-Delay-of-Arrival direxion finding useless
before, I decide to try it again. Three Kiwi sites I can employ are
Pardinho, Brasil; Trinidad; and TWR Dominican Republic. They conclude
4940 is ``most likely`` at 3.20 degrees north, minus 69.80 longitude,
which is in east-central Colombia, or Barrara Minas, Guainia. This is
not too far from Puerto Ayacucho, Venezuela, just across the border,
one of the previous outcomes, so together they become somewhat more
credible as a general area. But then at 0345 I run it again with
different Kiwis: Vilhena, Brasil; Bonaire; and Cariaru, Brasil. This
time they put it at 13.50 north, -157.50 west, which is in the N
Pacific Ocean, off the coast SW of Mexico. I think not (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6145, Nov 3 at 0732, RHC English still on an extra hour,
S9+20 with sufficient modulation and // 6000. This may mean the NAm
English span has all shifted an hour later to 0100-0800 instead of
0000-0700. Due to end of DST in USA, as a Running Dog of Yanqui
Imperialism.

5910, Nov 3 at 0736, RHC English is here too! Starting `Focus on
Africa` which is musical, S9+20. This frequency has been used before
for CRI relays earlier, not RHC itself, so could be an error at this
hour. 6100 however is off so maybe ex-that.

Arnie continues to boycott HFCC since that might cause him to
negotiate with --- ugh --- Americans, but CRI at least registers its
relays via HABana, B-20 showing 5910 at 0300-0400 English, 0400-0455
Yue = Cantonese, with 250 kW at 305 degrees. Oh2, back to 6180 at
01-03, to collide with Brasil. No change from A-season for the others
on 5990, 9570, 13650, 15120; and as I already reported, 15700
ex-11880.

6000, Nov 4 at 0013, RHC in suptorted Spanish, presumably the `Mesa
Redonda`` TV show soundtrack shifted as usual an hour later after DST,
nominally 00-01 weekdays, and // 11950, but no signal there to the
Virginia SDR where I am checking all these. Also NOT on now is 6145
the other NAm English frequency which used to start at 0000, now 0100?
Also NOT to be heard are Spanish: 11760, 9640; 6060 has something with
Qu`ran, and 6100 China`s Portuguese service music fill direct.

5040, Nov 4 at 0015, however is on now in English, probably the only
one at this hour per winter scheduling.

At 0050 Nov 4, I check Cuban frequencies direct: JBA carriers on
11800, 11760, 11670 which match for Cuba; propagation extremely
degraded but you would not know it from WWV at 0000: K-index only 1,
no storms, and solar flux for Nov 3 was a `high` 83! No signal on 9640
but 9535 is S7-S8. WRMI not making it on 9 MHz either but OK on 7
MHz.

6180, Nov 4 at 0100, now very fast SAH between RNA Brasil and must be
the CRI CUBA relay back here despite collision last winter. Brasil was
solo before 0100 but disturbed and // much weaker 11780.

6145, Nov 4 at 0102, RHC has just come on here with dead air, then JIP
English modulation, and also now on weaker // 6000. 5040 now has
switched to Kriyol (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also PERU [and non]

** CUBA [and non]. 5980, Nov 3 at 0734, Cuban jamming against no
Martí, instead trying to save us from those nasty WWCR leapfrog mixing
products, JBA underneath jam the 5890/5935 huxters which are very
strong this night on fundamentals (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA NORTH [and non]. 5990, Nov 3 at 0733, noise jamming of
slightly varying pitch in the Juche style, blotting something talking.
No doubt attacking Echo of Hope, one of their several jumparound
frequencies this week as confirmed by Ron Howard on Nov 3. Unless I
can modify my own sleephours depending on local time, during CST I may
be awake as late as 0730 UT instead of 0630, e.g. audiblizing stuff
like this as it`s nearing winter sunset on the peninsula, 0833 at
P`yongyang (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, KUCO, Edmond: on Nov 1 I sent this to GM Brad
Ferguson:

``Brad, Glad you`re back! Sure missed KUCO. Seemed most of the time
the silent carrier was on at least weakly, as KHCC would sometimes get
overcome depending on antenna orientation or in driving around.

Perhaps it would be a good idea not to put all your eggs in the
fibre-optic link, like at least for backup a plain old 900 MHz STL?

Still not clear to me why the webcast was also gone; yet you could
feed the relay stations? Or did they pick up WCPE directly? Are KCSC
and KBCW able to insert own IDs? As on 90.1 we always hear
triple-station IDs. Best wishes, Glenn Hauser, Enid`` --- he replied:

``Of course we wanted to use an STL from the get-go but no path was
available from our downtown location, hence the fiber optic cable.
And the cable is double looped for robustness. Just a devastating ice
storm this time around.

McAlester and Woodward are complete repeaters but we were able to feed
WCPE to them in the meantime. (And listeners had to suffer a second
fund drive from NC!) BF`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PERU [and non]. 4764, Nov 4 at 0106, JBA carrier direct, presumed
R. Huanta Dos Mil, which LOB in Brasil is still reporting on this
frequency; we have another hour to hear it since R. Progreso, CUBA,
has timeshifted 4765 to start at *0131.8 as carrier-on tonight. But by
0114, no more signal on 4764, signed off already? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 12032.0, Nov 3 at 1413, JBA song on this odd even
frequency; not a stray CNR1 jammer as not // 6125. But there is no VOT
on 12035 for the 1330-1425v English, so is this that? Yes! At 1420,
Turkish muisc at S3-S5 and JBA English ID for Voice of Turkey.
Probably a keypad punch-up error; something`s always erroneous at
Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7340-7345-7350, Nov 4 at 0054, DRM noise, so Radio Martí
experiment is back from Grimesland NC. I found it missing for a couple
weeks at various chex. B-20 HFCC still has it falsely as NOT DRM, at
17-02. Now the NOT DRM RM frequencies I hear are 7355 & 7435, VG over
jamming, and also 6030 with more jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2058 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday
November 3 at 0330 on WRMI 5800, S9+10/20 into TWR Bonaire KiwiSDR.
Next:
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW [timeshift]

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VENEZUELA. 6905.96-RCUSB, Nov 3 at 0333, JBA carrier from presumed
ROCV, El Tigre, into Bonaire SDR, again unreasonably weak compared to
previous captations. There is also a JBA het and on the waterfall from
a carrier on exactly 6905.0 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

1) Change of DST - Amended Time-Zone offset notations for Cuba
(Progreso, Rebelde) and USA (Martí, VOA, WRMI)
2) Cuba - R Progreso: Updated link to live stream; removed link to
audio on demand (as page no longer found)
3) Germany - MBR: Updated link to new B-20 frequency schedule
4) India - All India R: Updated link to generic AIR Homepage, and

Unless there's a major change anywhere, the next update will be end of
November. Best wishes and 73 from England (where we are about to go
into another national lockdown). (Alan Roe, Nov 1)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, Nov 1 at 2307: 7540 Chinese S9, //
weaker 7810, 7470; at 2321, 6125; 2322, JBA Chinese 11170, 10920,
10870; JBA carriers on 11120, 11070, many of same SOH jam frequencies
heard in our mornings. 7540 is jamming RFA Tibetan via Kuwait; 7470 is
RFA Tibetan via Tajikistan, both this hour only. 7810 is an SOH
frequency but Aoki does not have it on and jammed at this hour. 6125
is a legit CNR1 non-jammer channel.

Around grayline, I have some other non-CNR1 // Chineses: at 2310,
7325, which is CRI Cantonese via Kunming. And at 2322 on 6140, vocal
operatic which is same service and site.

6900, at 2315, something weak, Chinese? Yes, a SOH *jammer.

[and non] 6100, at 2320 Nov 1, Chinese music, i.e. CRI Portuguese via
Beijing short-path to here but aiming long-path 318 degrees, and //
13650 same via CUBA, but on the latter, modulation cutting on & off,
while NHK is continuously audible underneath. This service continues
to be *nothing* but music fill for years now! Something`s always wrong
at RadioCuba as well as CRI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [non]. 15700, Nov 2 at 1500, S9+20/30 of dead air except for
big hum, then trace of CRI English modulation, ex-11880 via CUBA. By
1505 modulation has crept up a bit but still awful. Something`s always
wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5954, Nov 2 at 2312, Cuban pulse jamming centred here, a
legacy disservice originally drawn by the Costa Rican transmitter of
Radio República, remember that? Which has been gone for many years
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6145, UT Mon Nov 2 at 0213-0218, RHC English with `DXers
Unlimited`, Derwin? Jones substituting for Arnie who has a ``sore
throat``, but the script is typical Arnie stuff about propagation and
ham radio, lasting only 5 minutes. Just confirming DXUL still exist
around these times for next DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS update pending
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13700, Nov 2 at 1538, VP S5-S6 signal, must be RHC but
dreadfully weak, for music is // 11760 which is suptorted! As is
15140. // 15230 is a little better. At 1540 I find more RHC still on
air, nominally until 1600 now? or slipshod: 9535 not distorted but
fluttery; and 7350 very poor and undermodulated. Somethings always
wrongs at RHC. It may be another week before intentional B-20 changes
settle in as Arnie plays catch-up. Individual Spanish program times
should already have shifted one UT hour later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY. 18164-USB, Nov 2 at 1455, IU3BTY fonetikaly calling QRZ.
Seems Italy/Slovenia area is a hotspot for 17m activity and/or
propagation to here.
https://www.qrz.com/lookup/iu3bty
``IU3BTY, Valerio Spagnolo, Via Cristoforo Colombo n.20, Conegliano
(Tv) 31015, Italy`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also SLOVENIA

** KURDISTAN [non]. 15600, Nov 2 at 1459, ``Dengê Amerika`` ID and off
1500*. It`s VOA Kurdish via Woofferton UK at 14-15 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** MEXICO. 560, Nov 2 at 0629 UT, ID in passing as I tune across,
sounds like ``La Serena - 98.1``. But no such slogan is listed for any
Mexican or any Latin American, and there are no US SS on 560. Instead
I think it must have been:

XEGIK, Monclova, Coahuila, which is my nearest XE anyway, per IRCA
Mexican Log, 1400/250 watts with FM on 88.1, ``La Acerera`` --- acero
means steel but acera can also mean sidewalk. Steel mill? IIRC,
Monclova is a polluted industrial town, and there is a General Steel
Group there, at least with warehouse and sales if not manufaxuring.
The Steely Station? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SLOVENIA. On 18113-USB, Nov 1 at 1458, I have been hearing a ham
making quick contacts as ``CNR57DX``. A three-letter prefix is unheard
of and surely wrong; nonesuch in qrz.com but I can`t figure out what
he is really saying? Never with fonetix to make it clear except for
the ``DX`` which is obvious. CN+ implies Morocco. Ideas?

Don Moman, AB replied on the WOR iog: ``I'm hearing the pileup all
calling Slavko S57DX on 18113.``

Tnx, Don. I guess he is saying fonetik ``sierra`` but it sure sounds
like C-N-R. I bet he`s related to S51DX I logged the other day.
Slovenia, land of future first-ladies. Yes, they are brothers. Lots of
info at:

https://www.qrz.com/lookup/s57dx
``S57DX, SLAVKO CELARC, OB IGRISCU 8, 1360 VRHNIKA, Slovenia``

Still allows a little time for chat about weather, etc., but clearly
trying to rack up contacts, contest? Lots of other activity on 17m,
such as a pileup on 18150-USB.

18122-USB, Nov 2 at 1450, there he is again, S57DX with quick North
American contacts, CQ 17, this time alternating ``sierra`` with
``sugar``, better clearer signal than yesterday. Still going at 1546
recheck. See also ITALY (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2058 monitoring: confirmed UT
Monday November 2 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG direct.

Also confirmed UT Mon Nov 2 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, S9/+10 to UTwente.

Also confirmed UT Mon Nov 2 at 0230 on WRMIs 7780, ditto; and 5800
good to Bonaire SDR. So those remain at same UTs, no shifts.

Also confirmed UT Mon Nov 2 from 0401 on Area 51, 6159.92 WBCQ, S7 but
sounds VG into a Rochester SDR, now one UT hour later.

Also confirmed UT Mon Nov 2 at 0430, one hour later, on WRMI webcast,
but cannot hear 9955 direct except some weak pulse jamming, nor can I
hear it via various KiwiSDRs in North & South America!

Also confirmed Monday November 2 from 1900.9 on IRRS 7290 via
BULGARIA, S9+30 into UTwente SDR from *1857 carrier, 1859.8 ID with P
O box, 1900.3 FSN headlines before WOR. With a few glitches OK past
1910 at least.

Also confirmed UT Tue Nov 3 at 0108 the 0100 on WRMI 7780, good at
UTwente. Next:
0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 5800 to SSE
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW [timeshift]
2300 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [timeshift]
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

substituting for 9395, altho surely in the opposite direxion, and //
9455 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. AHW has vaguely mentioned special programming tonight
commemorating the 100th anniversary of broadcasting in the form of
KDKA, on WBCQ 7490 & 6160 = UT Tuesday. But I don`t find anything
about it in his twits or on the website, nor of zappahead. Does anyone
know?

I do see on the *WBCQ* 7490 program sked a new wacko conspiracy show
Tue-Sat at 0400-0600. But these hours are in HFCC for WHRI not WBCQ,
and I already heard something last week assumed to be Cypress Creek
since it was not off-frequency. Is the takeover/merger underway
already? (Glenn at 2141 UT Nov 2, WOR iog)

No replies, but monitoring 7490.1 from 0000 UT Tue Nov 3, good signal
direct at first but fading down by 0008, the usual `Uncle Bill`s
Melting Pot` repeat filler, the first dekaminute also commemorating
the KDKA anniversary with some songs popular in 1920y, starting with
``Whispering``.

Then I switch to 6159.92, S9 for WBCQ Area 61 and hear a docu about
the early days of KDKA, in fact a produxion by KDKA when ``today`` was
the Reagan era, mentioning adding a ``Far North Service`` on SW in the
`30s. Then I find this week`s Area 61 has now been revealed at
http://zappahead.net/#2020-1102-area61

``Area 61 for 2-6 November 2020
Tune in weekdays at 7PM US eastern time (0000 UTC) on WBCQ 6.160 MHz.
You can listen to us on the internet at http://splatterbox.us/area51

Monday 2 November 2020
KDKA Pittsburgh began regular broadcasting 100 years ago today when
the station began an election night broadcast at 6 p.m. on Tuesday,
Nov. 2, 1920, from a tiny shack atop one of the Westinghouse Electric
buildings in East Pittsburgh.

Four men manned that first broadcast: Engineer William Thomas;
telephone line operator John Frazier; R.S. McClelland, a standby; and
Leo Rosenberg, radio's first announcer.

The election returns of the Harding-Cox presidential race were relayed
to about one thousand listeners who learned through this incredible
new medium who the next president of the United States would be.

Celebrating 100 Years of KDKA Radio
KDKA Celebrates 65 (November 2, 1985)
Adventures In Research 30 December 1944 Eyes and Ears For the Millions
Jean Shepherd 1965 - Magic of Radio``
I then listen to more of it on the stream (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1020, Nov 3 at 0120 UT, it`s the 100th anniversary of
broadcasts from KDKA Pittsburgh PA, so it would be nice to log them
now. But as usual, nearby KOKP Perry OK stupid sportstalk dominates
even at night, and if I null it, instead of KDKA it`s gospel huxtering
in Spanish, no doubt 50 kW KCKN Roswell NM, which if it were operating
properly would be nulling toward KDKA and me. These two stations make
a hefty SAH of 4 Hz. In my dreams, I imagine a broadcasting industry
salute to KDKA by all the other 1020 stations turning off tonight for
an hour or three --- fat chance!!! NRC AM log shows there are only 8
more USA 1020s with at least low power at night (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** VATICAN. 13830, Nov 2 at 1548, VP talk and music S5-S7, Aoki shows
it`s VR via own SMG site daily in Amharic 1530-1600 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** VENEZUELA. 6905.93, Nov 2 at 0240, ROCV into Bonaire SDR is a JBA
carrier where it is usually well audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

TIPS FOR RATIONAL LIVING
++++++++++++++++++++++++

DON`T VOTE REPUBLICAN --- I appreciate readers tolerating my
occasional political comments here, as I do not participate in any
political online fora. My fellow Americans --- please --- let us elect
a decent, honest, competent president; and Congress to back him up, as
we desperately need to start reversing the terrible damage they have
been doing to *our* federal government from within. Thank you (Glenn)
