** ALBANIA [non]. Earthquake coverage: Unlike yesterday, 15770 WRMI
relay of R Tirana at 2030 UT Nov 26 is a JBA carrier; NO carrier when
checked via UTwente where it is aimed. 7780 is making it to UTwente
with gospel huxter Biblebot, a more reasonable band to reach Europe
after dark.

Listen ``live`` link here plays about the EQ, and presumably not live
but the earlier English broadcast heard after 2100:
http://rti.rtsh.al/category/english/news/

But it`s mainly historical info about previous quaxe, then music.
Also a few brief stories about this to be read visually.

(Meanwhile no big tremors around here today, but instead wildfires.
KWTV has been covering live from Mooreland, near Woodward, west of
Enid.)

The webcast after IS at 2130 switches to Slavic language, Serbian?
WRTH 2019 does not mention any but English, French, German, Italian,
the ones on SW via WRMI, Kall. Altho mostly music, 2100-2130 was for
English. Slavic goes to music at 2137.

9395, UT Wed Nov 27 at 0230, WRMI cuts from song fill to Radio Tirana
IS which includes an editing overlap, and sign-on with no SW
mentioned. Now it`s S9+10 with fades to S6. News about earthquake to
0236, then about organized crime; 0240 EQ statistics; 0249 songs
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 7850-CUSB, Nov 26 at 2322, CHU is gone again from this
frequency altho I had heard it reactivated at 1554 as in previous
report. Meanwhile, Richard Langley, NB found no signal at 2200;
likewise Mike Bott, OH at 2319; and Wolfgang Bueschel, Germany, at 0319
Nov 27 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 11820, Nov 27 at 0045, nice SE Asian music, gamelan? a few
announcements in Cantonese to 0057* cutoff; was S8 to S9+10. Best
Asian signal on band, 500 kW, 200 degrees from Xi`an. See also
THAILAND [and non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15370, Nov 26 at 2050, RHC in Kriyol! instead of scheduled
Portuguese; and again at 2154 check, Kriyol! instead of Arabic.
Something`s always wrong at RHC.

11880, Nov 26 at 2159, RHC IS and ID in Spanish about to open English
but then dead air past 2201 except for some lite (self?)-pulse
jamming. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

5040, Nov 27 at 0104, RHC suptorted and squealing with spurblobs 3 to
4 kHz on both sides. Language is Kriyol this time when it is supposed
to be. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

Wolfgang Bueschel agrees: ``CUBA 5040 RHC Bauta Spanish TOTALLY
DISTORTED HISSING audio feed signal, 0346, S=9+15dB in C.C. Florida,
7.6 kHz wideband outlet tonight`` [gh deleted kHz after frequency and
UT after time as obvious, redundant clutter to make wb`s post more
readable to the wider WOR/DXLD audience] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [non?]. 9890, Nov 26 at 2228, NHK in Japanese inboooming at
S9+20, incredible signal for transmission direct but off the back.
Nevertheless, I suspected a European, African or even American relay,
but TDOA by wb showed it really from Japan.

Now I am comparing it to the other two listed Yamata frequencies on
air at this time:
9560, 300 kW, 290 degrees, antenna 146, Mandarin to Korean at 2230
11910, 300 kW, 290 degrees, antenna 146, Japanese // 9890
9890, 300 kW, 235 degrees, antenna 208, Japanese // 11910
I do confirm that 11910 & 9890 are synchronized as if from same site.

Yet both these are *much* weaker than 9890, S5-S7 JBA on 9560, despite
same band with same propagation; and S7-S9 JBA on 11910, higher band
expected to be weaker.

Somewhat different azimuths away from us and 9890 is on a bigger
curtain presumably with more gain forward, but backward? Enid is 44
degrees from Tokyo, path crossing Aleutians, Spokane/Kalispell, while
directly off the back from 235 degrees would be 55. ITU explains the
antennas this way:

146 AHR(S)2/2/0.5
208 AHR(S)4/2/1.0

``Type 1: Multi band centre/end-fed curtain antenna arrays with
aperiodic screen reflector Designation: AHR(S) m/n/h
m : number of half-wave dipoles in each horizontal row
n : number of rows spaced half a wavelength apart one above the other
h : height above the ground in wavelengths of the bottom row of
dipoles``

So are the azimuth and antenna type enough to explain this huge
disparity in signals? Or maybe, just maybe, Yamata is aiming max lobe
in the wrong, opposite direxion? I await some expert replies (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU [and non]. 5980, Nov 26 at 2320, JBA carrier under Cuban
wall-of-noise jamming against nothing, presumed Radio Chaski; from
2353 I`m back listening closely with BFO for the autocutoff and this
time catch it without dozing off: 2355:27.5*. Now I have a baseline if
I can catch it again, whether the timer be slipping as in olden times
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** THAILAND [and non]. 13750, Nov 27 at 0040, JBA carrier is the best
HSK9 can do via Udorn for English to ``North America`` (instead of
getting some sparetime on Grimesland!). What else on band? Huge RHC
S9+20/30 on 13740; Chinese S9/+10 on 13580, which is 500 kW the wrong
way 215 degrees from Beijing site, so E Asian propagation is not that
bad. Also 13770 in Vietnamese, CRI, 500 kW, 190 degrees southward from
Xi`an, S8-S9. Why are these so much better than Radio Thailand
intending for us? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 5960, Nov 26 at 2319, VOT English to N America is on, but
poor S8-S9. 2346 starts sign-off with full English schedule including
the imaginary 06-07 UT broadcast! IS plays from 2347.5 past 2353, but
is off at 2356 after I`ve checked PERU on 5980 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** ALBANIA [non]. 15770, Mon Nov 25 at 2044, Radio Tirana via WRMI is
ending `Albania in a Week`, unID song, VG on the caradio while 15770
is often rather weak here off the side of the Eurobeam. 2047.5
`Cultural Activities`, 2050 `Sports Roundup` takes only a minute for
scores of some unrecognizable teams (unless you`re Albanian?); 2051
``ending today`s broadcast`` but fills the rest with songs.

Today`s broadcast if possible should bring us news from the source
about the big 6.4 earthquake: 2030 on 15770; 0230 on 9395 --- UT Wed
but note that on UT Thu, 0230 is bumped by `This is a Music Show`
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 7850-CUSB, Nov 26 at 1554, CHU is back! I`ve been checking
every day and it was still off Nov 25. Much weaker than // 14670-CUSB
as normal for daytime. Ha! I got them even before NRC website:

https://nrc.canada.ca/en/chu-short-wave-station/
System status - NRC short wave station broadcasts (CHU)

which shows 7.850 MHz had been off since:
2019-10-28 @ 17:00
and was back on as of:
2019-11-26 @ 16:00
Let`s hope CHU is back to stay this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** CUBA. 9535, Nov 26 at 1510, RHC in dead air; then
just-barely-modulation // 15140. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, Nov 25 at 2349, carrier audible under wall-of-noise
Cuban jamming against no Martí, presumed R. Chaski; and it disappears
about 2356* but I had dozed off and missed timing it exactly. Several
previous attempts could not even get the carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** ROMANIA. 6040, Nov 26 at 0001, poor-fair signal, suptorted talk
like RHC often provides; wiggle that patchcord! Which they do, 0004
suddenly Spanish modulation becomes normal, RRI ID.

6020, Nov 26 after 0400, RRI English is VG at 0415, much better than
simulEnglish from Turkey on 6125 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** TURKEY [non]. 5960-, Nov 25 at 2349, JBA carrier on the minus side,
no doubt PBS Xinjiang, land of Uighur brainwashing by the ChiCom. VOT
may have been missing again for 2300 English, or I just missed their
closing. BTW there is another station even more on the minus side of
5960 which comes on later, Kuwait scheduled from 0200 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2009 monitoring: on IRRS 7290 via
UTwente SDR, confirmed Monday November 25 cutting on in progress at
1900:23 as I am starting to recite the KNLS schedule, which occurs
about 1:20 into the program; therefore the playback started close to
1859! Altho the big carrier came on air at *1856, almost muscling
aside the CRI ACI, it remained silent, no Aïda, no ID, no IRRS
sign-on, no news, cutting on modulation with WOR already running, just
as has been happening for the past two or three weeks. Anyhow there is
no doubt it`s on the air today. Via Romania? Ivo Ivanov in neighboring
Bulgaria maintains it is; but does not refute Alexander Busneag`s
analysis that there is no spare transmitter available at that time in
Romania.

At 1928 I check 7290 here in OK, and detect a JBA carrier. But Harold
Frodge, Midland MI was able to get more last week: ``ROMANIA: 7290,
IRRS (presumed); 1902, 11/18; Glenn Hauser’s World of Radio. Poor with
occasional fair peak in the QRN + co-channel QRM. No co-channel
candidates in the List Log Lists, so probably hamsters`` (The 7290
area is prime hangout for American hams running AM instead of LSB.)

Also confirmed UT Tuesday Nov 26 at 0115 the 0100 on WRMI 7780, S9-S7.
Next:

2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW; 9330?
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

UNIDENTIFIED. 15151.5-USB, Nov 26, 2019 at 1440, 2-way in colloquial
Spanish INTRUDERS. Have also logged them numerous times on this
frequency before, dating back to 2006y! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
