** 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that, rather a very old recorded outdated announcement.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

(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)

** 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. 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)
