many different versions of new B20 SW schedules; look for B20 at
http://www.worldofradio.com

** CUBA. 6100, Nov 6 at 0717, RHC English is here but suptorted, yet
the only frequency on this late tonight, unlike previous nights.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 7435 & 7355, Nov 6 at 0722, RM is off, presumably
back to temporary extension until 0600* only; but pulse jamming is
still running on non-Martí frequencies 7435, 7405, 7365, 7355.
Something`s always wrong at the Jamming Command (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** IRELAND. 3413-USB, Nov 6 at 0732, VOLMET by YL voice JBA,
EiBi-listed Shannon; also San Francisco can use 3413, 24 hours,
presumably for intermittent ATC comms (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5800, Nov 7 at 0300, WRMI with special experimental
broadcast of Texas Radio Shortwave, VG S9+5/15 into Bonaire SDR. Opens
with ``Yellow Rose of Texas`` alla marcia. O, I`ve heard this hour
before somewhere else but enjoy it again with best reception ever. I`m
sure it would also be good if heard direct here but I`m at the
computer. 0303 Third Mate YL robovoice signs on introducing Robert
Kipp from Germany who made the playlist of big guns in country music;
he lists the names, and ``drei und siebzig``. I note many but not all
of the songs by title or lyrix.

0307 YL ID, address, eQSL offer. 0309 ``All My Exes Live in Texes``.
0313 ``San Antonio Rose`` [BTW, I lived for several years in Von
Ormy/San Antonio, later Austin]. 0315 ``Back in the Saddle Again``.
0322 ``Sweet Lips``. 0330 OM eQSL offer, intro Buddy Holly, ``That`ll
Be the Day``. 0336 ``Know When to Fold `Em``. 0340 ``Freedom Is Just
Another Name for Nothing Left to Lose``. 0344 Cap`n Ric himself about
this being on 5800, ID, eQSL, Hiwaymen. 0352 ``Pretty Woman``. 0354
`Y.R.O.T` not alla marcia. 0356 YL sign-off, tnx Kipp, eQSL, motto
``Land was created as a place for pirates to visit`` -- got it right
this time? Closing theme again ``Y.R.O.T.`` alla marcia. Carrier stays
on a bit past 0400*

Another TRSW test will be 24 hours later, UT Sun Nov 8 at 0300-0400 on
9670v from Channel 292, Germany with its new direxional hi-gain
antenna aimed toward North America; same program? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. (7490), UT Sat Nov 7 from new time of 0100, WBCQ webcast of
`AAAWWW`. First topix Free Speech, KDKA anniversary. AHW is avoiding
politix this week in the limbo postlude, surprisingly mostly
successfully. 0112 call interrupts from Annoying Freddie. 0123 reads
FCC chairman Ajit Pai`s salute to KDKA. COVID-19 progress (?). 0139
reading a Radio World article about Edwin Armstrong & Lear but feed
from crowded Studio 9 in Deland of Fla, is interrupted as webcast
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,
WOR)

** U S A. 17775-, Nov 6 at 1500, KVOH sign-on in English only for
``people-loving people``, already S9+30, HF sporadic-E assist? 1501
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
hour later as if that mattered in most of Latin America. So FAD should
be at 1600 now, as well as in English `Wavescan` on Saturdays (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Nov 6 at 0702-0707
UT: 558, 621, 639(2), 693, 729, 747(2), 774(2), 837, 846(TP), 855,
909*, 936, 1044, 1053, 1089, 1107, 1179, 1215*, 1449, 1710(domestic).
*strongest, surely UK. (2)= at least two carriers beating.

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
synchros on 774, and I usually hear a beat, but 100 kW from Valencia
is the mayor (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Note: about a dekaday after the icestorm, my main antenna to the R75,
~100 foot E-W-ish longwire, has been restored circa 1930 UT Nov 4. But
line noise level is too high around here.

** CANADA. 248-MCW kHz, Nov 5 at 0704 UT, dash and WG, the NDB from
Winnipeg with quite a strong 1 kW signal like PR on 391; but no
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)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2058 monitoring: confirmed
Wednesday November 4 at 2200.4 on WBCQ 7490.1v, S9/+10 direct now one
UT hour later improved with less light path

Also confirmed Wed Nov 4 at 2300 on WRMI 9955, S9+10 over jamming.

semihour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Subject: [WOR] Glenn Hauser log roundup October 29-November 4, 2020
U S A. 7490.0, Nov 4 at 0559-0600*, I tune in just in time to hear
at S9, classic WHRI sign-off from Cypress Creek, South Carolina, LeSEA
Broadcasting --- huh? That name was abolished over a year ago. Now
it`s FBC. The strange thing is, the WBCQ program schedule now claims
that station is on 7490 at 0400-0600 Tue-Sat with some wacko
conspiracy talkshow. WBCQ is supposedly in the process of acquiring
WHRI, but are they already responsible for some of the programming on
WHRI transmitter?
This can be ambiguous, since of course 7490 is also WBCQ`s prime
frequency from Maine, despite currently HFCC-registered at these hours
as from WHRI! It`s pointless trying to see what program WHR claims to
have on 7490, for it is not among the drop-down choose-a-frequency
list on their website, where it seems we can no longer display a
complete program schedule for any frequency/Angel, but instead have to
enter search criteria for any individual item! and take our chances on
finding anything at all. What a mess (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. (6160v), UT Sat Oct 31, WBCQ webcast with `AAAWWW`. Starts
taking about following the live Youtubecast last Saturday morning of
the SAQ Alexanderson Alternator from Sweden, which I also reported
about. 0012 says on 7490 and 6160 tonight. 0030 about how in early
broadcasting, carbon mikes were hooked directly into transmitters, or
something like that; rest of show mostly politix about YKW (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 6160-, Nov 1 at 0004, WBCQ Area 51 with `Ghost Riders In The
Sky` song apropos for H`we`en but really the occasional GRITS show.
6159.92v, Nov 1 at 0200 via Virginia SDR, Area 51 starting Hallowe`en
special from Texas Radio Shortwave via WBCQ, S9+10/20 and -78v Hz
carrier offset from 6160.000. Mostly unfamiliar spooky music, with a
few synthetic YL announcements; 0202 song ``Queen of Hallowe`en``;
0207 a scream; 0216 QSL offer, or ``you may get nothing since it`s
Hallowe`en``; 0225 bell tolls, etc. 0259 ending with Bach. Tnx for the
show (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [non]. 15700, Nov 4 at 1523, CRI English via CUBA is S9+30
but just barely modulated, with hum. Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6100, Nov 4 at 0708, RHC English back on here with hum, //
better 6145 only, and NOT 5910 which was active last night instead of
6100, mistake? Also OFF now are 6000, 5040. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13700, Nov 4 at 1527, RHC Spanish again much weaker than
usual, poor S6-S8 during `Sonido Cubano` music. Also // 15140, and
stronger than usual 9535 at S9+10. At this level one could hardly
expect any spurs out of 13700 to audiblize. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 7435 // 7355, Nov 4 at 0705, Radio Martí is on later
than late, discussing the Yanqui elexion, both S9+10/20 with little
jamming, also 6030 with more jamming. These are the frequencies
registered with temporary extension 0400-0600, only until 5 December;
maybe back to 0600* henceforth whether or not the elexion be stolen by
Trump? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, Nov 4 at 0710, JBA carrier, presumed SIBC
starting to propagate around sunset there, and about equal to the JBA
carrier on 5055, presumed 4KZ Queensland, as heard last night (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 12035.0, Nov 4 at 1328, VOT IS & English ID, JBA back on
proper frequency ex-12032.0 yesterday. Recheck at 1440, 12035 is off
instead of Kazakh on wrong frequency as suspected recently.
Something`s not erroneous at Emirler today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2058 monitoring: note timeshifts for the
first two of the last three, due to standard time, which might
generally improve reception later in the days:

2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW [timeshift]
2300 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [timeshift]
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

** U S A. 7310-7315-7320, Nov 4 at 0707, hybrid DRM noise from WINB,
as now registered M-F at 0700-1000; is high-speed stock trading going
on in the middle of our night?

BTW, HFCC shows WHRI is also registered for 7315, daily at 0600-0900,
Sat/Sun at 0900-1000. Those two better coordinate with each other
axual usage.

13650-13655-13660, Nov 4 at 1528, WINB hybrid DRM is still here as I
first logged on Oct 26 as B-20 replacement for 15750-15755-15760.

But latest HFCC dated Nov 2 shows it on 13660-13665-13670 instead, M-F
at 1200-1700. Ivo Ivanov had also reported Nov 3:

``*USA Last minute frequency change of WINB Red Lion in Hybrid DRM*
1200-1700 NF 13665 INB 015 kW / 062 deg to WeEu Mon-Fri, ex 13655``

It is not clear whether he axually heard it circa 13665 yesterday or
was just going by unconfirmed and questionable HFCC info, which also
claims that WINB DRM power is 50 kW. No way to be certain here, but
sure sounds strong enough to be 50, not 15. WINB website still lacks
any program schedule for DRM transmissions, just AM 9265V, barely
mentioning DRM at all (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** 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.

** 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)
