** ALASKA. 11670, Nov 6 at 1358, S1-S2 JBA announcement in Chinese;
1359 dead air, 1400 barely recognizable KNLS IS, confirming it`s
really here for the English hour aimed westward, via backward leakage
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ALBANIA [non]. 15770, Nov 5 at 2030, WRMI with fill music, NOT
Radio Tirana which appeared on the WRMI skedgrid a few weeks ago, but
the first time I have checked for it. Still music at 2043; 2100 switch
to non-BS gospel huxter but must be TOM as now scheduled, finally BS`
own voice at 2106. During this hour both 9395 and 9455 emit separate
programmings.

I wonder if RT has ever shown up here, M-F 2030 on 15770, since with
every seasonal change, now a dekaday ago, there`s a misconnect in the
indirect acquisition of RT files via Germany, as the original timing
non-DST and/or URL must have changed unbeknownst to the automation. I
now suspect the other RT relay slot, nominally shifted to 0230 UT on
9395, has also failed. This deal was not initiated by Radio Tirana,
and they take no trouble to maintain it altho tolerate it (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ARGENTINA [non]. 6060, Nov 6 at 0004, new WRMI-3 frequency VP S7-S8
with flutter during SMTV, but RAE Spanish relay scheduled for 0100 is
AWOL again, altho not checked until 0153 when Christian hymns are
playing, ``Holy3``, and ``Rejoice`` cut off for 0200*. I suspect that
unlike Albania, RAE is still sending files, but not being configured
correctly to show up on this system at this time on this frequency.
BTW the skedgrid still shows WRMI-3 on 5800 in the 2100-2400 period
before changing to 6060, but I think 6060 is already on earlier (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 7850-CUSB, Nov 5 at 2105, NO signal from CHU, but VG on
14670-CUSB. The middle frequency is normally audible day and into the
night vs MUF plunges. 3330-CUSB is audible at 0708 Nov 6, but again
not on 7850. Also Nov 6 at 1427, 14670 but no 7850. Happy anniversary!
Mike Cooper forwards this:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 15034-USB, Nov 6 at 1351, Trenton Military, CHR still
clocking 61 minutes slow as ``1250 zulu``, after no-reports-received
from Ontario APs, but succeeds with a ``special report from Calgary``
as of 1300, which is not really from the future (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15370, Nov 5 at 1959, RHC ID in Spanish and introducing
English from 2000; 15140 is not on! But at 2028 recheck, 15370 is
S9+10 of dead air, and 15140 *is* on now in English amid `DXers
Unlimited, this being ``mit-week`` Tuesday. Talking about ham radio
activities during Hurricane Harvey, Houston --- old show or
reminiscing? Then advocating pre-sunrise grayline DXing; 2030 outro
DXUL already.

NOW at 2030, 15370 has started just barely modulating in Brazuguese,
whilst previous days, JM Aubier in France had been hearing it in
English. 2150 recheck, 15370 is again in Brazuguese, while by now
15140 is off. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6165, Nov 6 at 0153, no signal from RHC, which was expected
in English from 0100; but 6000 is running tho VP S9+10 undermodulated
as the only chance to hear it in primetime. By 0200, 6165 is now on
along with 6000. This night at 0705 check, 6165 is VG in English,
while 6100 and 6000 are off. You never know what combo will be active
especially after 0500. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15370, Nov 6 at 1352, RHC is *not* on here this morning,
unlike yesterday, rather usual 15140, S9 but undermodulated JBA,
better on 15230. At 1545, still no 15370, but 15230, 15140, 13700.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** INDIA. 9690, Nov 6 at 1416, choral music, S5-S7 with flutter, 1417
ID as General Overseas Service of All India Radio, plugging its brand
new website also offering streaming, URL repeated multiply,
http://airworldservice.org
No signal on onetime // 11620 for the 1330 sesquihour, altho 11560
Afghan service is audible as usual. 9690 is reactivated for B-19, good
for us as long as Spain is not starting here until 1500. 9865 music
from Vividh Bharati service is slightly better S6-S8 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [non]. 6155, Nov 6 at 0459, NHK IS, timepips a few seconds
late, opening English from NHK World Radio Japan, a weak S9 about the
same as 7410. Previous log had wrong info about the three frequencies
for this, lacking 6155 which is 300 kW ND from AUSTRIA as now shown on
HFCC and also from NHK`s own pdf schedule. 7410 is 500 kW, 155 degrees
from FRANCE; and inaudible on 9860, 250 kW, 184 degrees from Vatican.
So the lower two remain our best chance to hear RJ in English. If
Japanese will do, there`s still 6105 at 0200-0400, 500 kW, 290 degrees
from FRANCE targeting CIRAF 10 & 11 = Mexico, Central America,
Caribbean, shunning USA but close enough.

6155, Nov 6 at 0702, weak German as AUSTRIA also runs the only SWBC of
its own on same frequency as NHK a bihour before, still 300 kW ND at
0600-0720 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KURDISTAN [non]. How`s the Kurdo-Turco radio war going today? Nov 6
at 1357, only active is 11540 with both Dengê Welat and Jammiler
clashing about equally approx. 6 Hz apart making heavy SAH; 1401
drumming and chanting. Seems like in no hurry to play mouse-and-cat.
At 1459, still colliding on 11540, but at 1501 one station cuts off
revealing no other station either. Immediately tune around and now
there is a signal on 11530, presumably DW jumped and/or changed site,
as Bulgaria, France and Pridnestrovye have all been involved. Another
is soon back on 11540, jammer missing target? At 1513 and 1543 chex
there remain weakening signals on both frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Hepburn tropo maps for 1500 UT Nov 6 show
marginal level-1 enhancement in eastern OK not reaching here and
nothing to the west; yet KWOU 88.1 Woodward has tropo-enhanced signal
for `StarDate` at 1442.5 UT Nov 6. By 1606 UT I do a DTV bandscan
finding a Bad signal on RF 10 which could be Tulsa or Wichita; nothing
else unusual except RF 16 still lacks KOCM; and RF 23 is so Bad that
KSBI cannot be decoded, both ``local`` OKCs (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9455 & 9395, Nov 6 at 1424, Brother Scare on
WRMI says he is 86 years old today and has been preaching for 70
years. Is this really his birthday or another old playback? One never
knows. What a wasted life! And how are the sexual predator charges
against him coming along? SC authorities are not saying (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY [and non]. Besides the radio war on 11540/11530, see
KURDISTAN [non], what is TRT doing?

15350v, Nov 6 at 1353, tune-in just in time to hear TRT cut off its
Turkish music before I could measure it, but BFO revealed it was off
enough to make a LAH.

12035, Nov 6 at 1403, VOT in English with historical talk, 1405 switch
to another show with a different theme but cannot copy their titles;
close to on-frequency, poor and with occasional ACI from a USB 2-way
circa 12032.5.

Can`t find a simple SW program schedule since SW has been demoted to
barely existing on the TRT World Television website
https://www.trtworld.com/
nor can Alan Roe`s latest Hitlist link directly to any SW program
schedule. We used to be on the P-mailing list for them twice a year;
is anyone still getting those?

11815, Nov 6 at 1402, fast SAH in about equal mix with Radio Japan in
Japanese.

Not SW, but Clara Listensprechen sends along this:

For Turkey, Al Jazeera English has become an irritant to its Qatar
partnership --- Rare public ill-feeling has flared between the two

Syria offensive

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 13565-CW, Nov 6 at 1356, HIFER beacon K6FRC in Patterson CA
is JBA. Not until 1545 do I check DXmap, to find one sign of sporadic
E, a 14 MHz MUF over the NW corner of Nevada; not the right spot for
this catch, but it`s something, resulting from some ham contact. By
then KVOH is unusually inbooming, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 11900, Tue Nov 5 at 2025, S9/+10 song in Spanish,
``Bandolera`` --- what`s this, another OCB frequency? NO,
back-announce 2027 in French, from that VOA African service DJ who
also performs in English. 11900 B-19 scheduled as SAO TOME, 100 kW at
335 degrees so favorable USward, French 1930-2030 daily, plus
2030-2100 Sunday and Hausa 2030-2100 Saturday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2006 monitoring: Vern of WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO,
now explains what happened with WOR last Saturday night. Due to a
program schedule error earlier in the day, it ran at 0301-0330 UT
Sunday, just before I tuned in, and preceding TWIAR. Says he will see
about updating the websked. And:

``In equipment, I replaced the DAP-310 audio processor with an
Inovonics INO223 Audio processor. three independently adjustable
bands, digital look ahead processing; a 5 kHz brick wall bandpass
limiter. Also, pre-emphasis to enhance intelligibility. 5 kHz is the
minimum available, I would have preferred 4. It allows me to set +
103%, -95% peak modulation level with no occasional over-modulation
spikes. With 360 watts radiated power from the antenna, it does a
reasonable job. I will try to keep better tabs on log timing. Thank
you for your input, and keep up the good work. Vern`` Next:

2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v [ex-2100] to WSW

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5010, Nov 6 at 0150, BB WRMI ID and music, // much stronger
5850, but something else talking on 7780, and 9395 inaudible. This
could mean that the UT Sat 0130 time for WORLD OF RADIO will no longer
be trimulcast on 5010, 5850 and 7780. See also ALBANIA [non] and
ARGENTINA [non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, Nov 6 at 1423, WRMI-10 is OFF, leaving some lite
jamming; while 9455 & 9395 are still running TOMBS. 9955 after DST
over is supposed to stay until 1500 UT + another hour weekends for
Blalock the Blaster.

** U S A. 17775, Nov 6 at 1544, KVOH is S9+20/30 with gospel songs in
Spanish; instead of JBA carrier or none at all, must be getting
sporadic E boost; a bit of which is on the DX Map, a 14 MHz MUF blob
over NW Nevada as a clue. Now the SSOB, and almost the OSOB besides
the JBA carriers from TransAt, FRANCE on 17800 & 17825 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** ALASKA. 11670, Nov 5 at 1440, JBA carrier, so maybe KNLS English be
really here instead of 11760 per its own website; in any event no good
for winter night polar propagation west or east (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 7380, Nov 4 at 2215, RHC English on now, so the ``African``
service stays on same frequency but an hour *earlier* from 2200 than
in A-19, 2300-2400. Since 7380 is off after 2300, probably French and
Portuguese have also been earlied to 2100-2200. No, it`s Arabic and
Portuguese per J-M Aubier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, Nov 5 at 0057, RHC in Spanish as the weekday TV
simulcast of `Mesa Redonda` is now a real hour later, so no more early
English in the 00-01 hour; nor is 6165 on yet. The evening English
span has also shifted an hour later to 0100-0800, as still on in
English at 0724 check only on 6100, VG S9+30; and 6165 undermodulated
S9/+10. I am not saying anything is wrong about this, since it seems
to be an intentional if unpublicized seasonchange
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15370, Nov 5 at 1513, surprised to hear this frequency now so
temprano as it had been a tarde channel only. Replacing 15140 which is
not on, or maybe that closed earlier. 15230 is also on. Now during
`Sonido Cubano` music I also survey what other RHC Spanish frequencies
are still running: 13700 (no spurs), 11760, 9640, 9535; and a JBA
carrier on 6100 which could be Cuba or Asian remnant. At 1601, 13700
is off but 11760, 9640 and 9535 are still on. At 1602 Nov
5, 15370 still on with 11:04 timecheck, 15230 off.

15370, Nov 5 at 1900 recheck, now opening Arabic, ex-1800 on 15140
which is still off. // 11760 but modulation soon cut, and 1901* off.

Tho it was still an all-day frequency yesterday, 15140 is still not on
by 1930 Nov 5, so we`ll see where 2000 English can now be found.
Things are changing day to day as the shakeup develops. See last
report with Jean-Michel Aubier, France, monitoring for November 3.

Strangely, 15370 was carrying the second half of English from 2030 on
both Nov 3 and 4. Jean-Michel Aubier in France observed on Nov 4:

``1900-1930 Arabic 15140
1930-2000 Creole 15140
2000-2100 English 15140
2030-2100 English 15370
2100-2130 Arabic 7380 15140 15370 (3 fréquencies!)
2130-2200 Portuguese 7380 15370
2130-2200 Spanish 9880 (needs to be verified)
2200-2400 Spanish 15370
2200-2300 English 7380
2300-2400 Portuguese 11700

French not heard since Oct 27. Have the broadcasts disappeared? other
frequencies?`` I, gh, wonder if no French could be connected to the
ascension of French department person Tania Hernández to direct the
entire emisora, as reported yesterday; no time to do French programs?

Wolfgang Bueschel says he`s not heard from ailing Arnie with new sked
info, but did his own RHC survey today, q.v., with similar results to
mine (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 6125, Nov 4 at 2331, TV Martí still unjammed here,
ex-5980, where its audio soundtrack appeared months ago, separately
from RADIO Martí frequencies --- but now, it`s always // RM, so no
more TVM to be heard on SW? Now it is // 7355 and 7435 (while jamming
continues on ex-7335 heavy, 7375 lite). At 0057 Nov 5 I notice that
6125 is off, and confirming there is NO jamming; break for antenna
and/or transmitter change? I think 6125 was back a few minutes later
but failed to log it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** FRANCE. 17800, Nov 5 at 1519, JBA YL talking, while 17825 is a JBA
AM carrier, i.e. Issoudun with Mini Transat yacht weather info, still
not in DRM on either. Maybe vital info for the racing contestants but
how many of them have portable DRMs aboard?? So much for a DRM
Consortium publicity stunt (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN [non]. 7410, Nov 5 at 0507, NHK English is poor, S8-S9 via
AUSTRIA; higher // are out of question here, 9860 Vatican JBA carrier,
and 11970 France zilch. Radio Japan has only three English SW
broadcasts left, and this may be our best chance, considering the two
bad frequencies no longer Palau at 1400; and 1100 on 11825 via
Singapore (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** PERU. 5980, Nov 4 at 2331, JBA carrier under wall-of-noise jamming
against no Martí which has moved to 6125. That could be Radio Chaski,
as nothing is in HFCC B-19 on 5980 between 2200 and 0200. No carrier
detected at 0006, so maybe closed in the meantime.

I wish Claudio Galaz or someone in South America could confirm the
Chaski cutoff time. You may recall a few years ago when it was later
around 0100 with no CCI, I would track it slipping 5 seconds or so
later from one night to the next, quite fun! Until they would reset
their timer earlier, starting a slipcycle all over again. Now we can
only hope that the incompetent Cuban jammers will turn off 5980 before
RM really comes on at 0600.

Even Cubans in favor of jamming should be livid about the electrical
expense wasted on jamming against nothing; which could be spent on
e.g. improving the diet of the poor population (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [non]. 11610, Nov 5 at 1600, Somali on VOA as mentioned,
S7-S9. It`s 1600-1800, 250 kW, 126 degrees from Woofferton UK, thus
close to off-the-back here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2006 monitoring: Richard Langley
now confirms heard on all three 7780 WRMI airings, Sunday Nov 3 at
2130, UT Monday Nov 4 at 0130 & 0230; with some cutoffs.

Following up last report that WOR was underway at 1902 UT Monday
November 4 on IRRS 7290, heard via OH5AE SDR:

I note the time of the mid-break as 1913:30, but that was 14:40 into
the program, so playback must have started more than a minute early at
1858:50 --- hope the transmitter was already on with this input.

And Alan Gale, England reports: ``Hi Glenn, Much to my surprise World
of Radio was broadcast again this evening (Monday) on IRRS 7290 kHz at
1900 UT. I missed the start of the programme but it was on when I
tuned in at 1913 and continued right to the end at 1928, so it looks
like it was the full programme this time. Alan``.

Also confirmed UT Tuesday November 5 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, JBA. Next:
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v [ex-2100] to WSW
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

** U S A. 6060, Nov 4 at 2328, WRMI activated new frequency, but poor
S7-S9 in Chinese, music, SMTV ex-5800, ex-4980; and undermodulated
like 5800 was. At 0000 UT Tue Nov 5, seems dead air or maybe JBM; 0002
some talk in English, music, Vietnamese, the off-putting language
mixture of SMTV with no captions. NO RHC reactivated on 6060. WRMI
chose 6060 to further the legacy of RAE which was on 6060
sesquidecades ago, and said would move their Spanish relay hour to
0100 Tue-Sat. At 0056 dead air? 0058 algo JBM; 0100 what? At 0104-0107
I am barely hearing on 6060 Christian hymns, definitely not RAE! 0201
still JBA but probably about to turn off 6060, unless it`s now Iran in
Arabic as scheduled 1730-0230, 500 kW, 289 degrees from Zahedan for
Arabia and North Africa, but likely QRMing WRMI/RAE in Latin America
beyond. BTW, RAE continues hinting they will be getting a new SW
transmitter of their own. Other WRMI monitoring:

5010, Nov 4 at 2329, is on with algo, Fámily Radio?

9395, Nov 4 at 0100, not RAE in English when it has been, but VP M&W
talk. Oldies and BB ID late past 0200, then RAE multi-lingual opening
and theme into English now an hour later. 0256 check Qur`an ---
recognized as part of the WRMI `World Music` fill loop --- I wonder
what genuine Moslems make of this insert -- what is this passage in
mandatory Arabic about? Radio Tirana now scheduled too an hour later
at 0230, but ends early; 0258 WRMI Spanish ID and bit of music, 0259
another ID JBA, 0300, Prague theme opening English.

The WRMI skedgrid, http://www.tinyurl.com/WRMIfqs reminds us that XMTR
6, 355 degrees on 9395 runs System G until 0230 including RAE ATTW
English, and from 0230 System H with Tirana, 0300 Prague.

Also, the programs grids mostly in UT, but System G is in EDT/EST,
which accounts for the one-hour-later shift, like always happens with
System B on 9955. Yet System H is in UT, but times are now wrong,
still with Tirana at 0130 and Prague at 0200 (except for music show
pre-emptions on certain days. At least we now have Tirana unscathed at
new 2030 time M-F on 15770, which I have yet to run across.)

This shift may have edged out WORLD OF RADIO, which had been running
at 0130 UT Monday, a day off for Tirana on 9395. Now WOR is not shown
on 9395 at 0130 or 0230, which need to be monitored next week. Should
still be on 7780 at both times.

Also displayed in ET rather than UT are System C, nothing but TOMBS on
all his frequencies. And System L, very incomplete on 9455.

It would be very helpful if someone outside WRMI with plenty of spare
time, could reorganize the WRMI program skedgrids by FREQUENCY,
instead of by System --- so one could pick a frequency and see all the
programming on it in UT ONLY, no matter from what system! But this
could be problematic as the System skeds are not complete nor 100%
accurate. Yet the playback computers must know what they are supposed
to do (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7490+, UT Tue Nov 5 at 0000, WBCQ is VP S6-S7, but I can
recognize the intonations of Uncle Bill, so indeed his `Melting Pot`
is getting another play as filler, 25 hours after normal airing, most
of which I missed, but by 0015 I`m hearing it well on webcast. He`s
back at 0100 UT Tue now with his othershow, `From the Isle of Music`
which includes a lot of talk (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. It`s way too late for a detailed JBA TA MW carrier
bandscan, Nov 5 at 0717, but a few spotchex before dozing: 774 with
beat, presumed Spains; 693, 621; and 846 which I assume is really
Kiritimati TP; rather than low-powers in Denmark, Ireland, Italy;
medium powers but too far into dayside now, Iran, Saudi, UAE, South
Africa (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 15140, Sun Nov 3 at 2009, RHC English confirmed an hour later
than summer, 20-21 UT and still on 15140. ``Ed Newman`` is introducing
a panel discussion at some institute, with big names such as Ricardo
Alarcón, former? foreign minister, etc., two of The Cuban Five (spy
heroes, not frequencies), and Tania Hernández, who is now director of
RHC, rising from the French department. Taking questions from
audience, subject seems to be The Blockade, with usual anti-American
sentiments; in English as long as I listen for a few minutes. Seems
special rather than regular programming, could even be live.
Jean-Michel Aubier, France, elucidates on the WOR iog: ``English is
now at 2000, still on 15140, but also on 15370 from 2030 (?),
frequency which was expected to be in French. At 2030, the programme
is a speech (with translation into English). After, another speech in
Spanish (without translation). Seems to be a special programme
(Mentions of Maduro and Lula Da Silva). Arabic was aired at 1900 on
15140 followed by Creole on 15140 too (both // = live stream)`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 7380, Nov 3 at 2315, RHC is off the frequency which had had
English to ``Africa`` at this late hour in A-19. Then it coincided
with English hour on tropical 5040, but that is now in Spanish; still
slightly off-frequency+plus, 5040.052 and undermodulated at 2322. As
usual however, 5040 English has latened an hour as heard at 0001 Nov 4
repeating the Blockade discussion aired earlier at 2000 on 15140.
So what has become of the second English broadcast of the day? Nothing
now on previous frequencies 9720 or 11880. Could have shifted one hour
*earlier*, opposite of what one would expect post-DST, as in previous
winters to be at 2200-2300 somewhere. Need to search for it then.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
