** ALBANIA. 7470, Nov 7 at 0229, R. Tirana is JBA with IS, so has stayed here for a week now, ex-7425, where the Greenville leapfrog is just as strong/weak (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ARGENTINA. 15345.17, Nov 6 at 2216, RAE has an S9 signal, but it`s just barely modulated, can`t determine the language, but should be Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** BRAZIL. 15325, Nov 6 at 2215, no signal from R. Gazeta, which had been reported reactivated with futebol, by Cassio Secundino Borges Santos Secundino on Nov 3 but without specifying the time heard. Argentina is S9 on 15345.17 at this time, and a JBA S3 signal on 15190.00 may not be R. Inconfidência since it`s not off-frequency altho nothing else scheduled (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** EGYPT. 9900 & 9800, Nov 6 at 2229, no signals from R. Cairo English to Europe, on the usual or alternate frequency. Don`t think that propagation is that bad, so off? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 530, Nov 7 at 0637 UT, EZL music from R. Enciclopedia (overdue for a new name), CUBA, can be heard without K530AM Vance AFB QRM if I null the latter, far enough away from the 10?-watt pointless TIS, still playing in rotation same old stale off-topic PSAs from Ad Council as in previous years. If not completely nulled, makes fast SAH, as reactivated K530AM is slightly off-frequency to low side. If there is ever an emergency at the base, I`ll be listening whether the nonsense is overridden for something useful (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** OKLAHOMA. 960, Nov 7 at 0727-0730+ UT, local KGWA Enid is open carrier/dead air with some hum, and nulling it as much as possible at 0729 UT I can hear one or two English stations, but no ID. The ones I used to get most in the midnight Fox-hole were KMA IA and KGKL TX. No telling how long before or after this KGWA was dead (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [non?]. 6080, Nov 7 at 0627, very strong open carrier, as VOA is about to start; 0630 recheck with rock music, evidently JIP as this is Saturday, instead of news, and as everyone knows, nothing ever happens on weekends. Registered as SAO TOME as I noted in Oct 30 log, and still as such in latest HFCC B-15 info. However, this is so strong that I am now suspecting that Greenville is substituting, perhaps for maintenance at Pinheira; also that should have been on continuously from 0500 to 0700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1798 monitoring: confirmed Friday Nov 6 after 2130 on WRMI 15770 & WRMI 7570. The latter continues to be the better one here now. NOT confirmed Friday Nov 6 at 2330 on 5850, where had been for a few months. The WRMI frequency/program grid has now been updated to show this slot occupied by R. Ukraine International and // 11580 which is what I was hearing at 2357 check, but cut off in progress at 2359:30 for Keith Perron ID, and 0000 Nov 7 into RSI in Slovak. Another WOR broadcast dropped is Sunday 2300 on 11580. WOR also NOT confirmed Saturday Nov 7 at 1538-1557 on 7265-USB Hamburger Lokalradio; Utwente SDR is getting nothing but S Asian music from CRI Kashgar. (Last week WOR was well atop.) 1540 during talk segment I can now hear another station under but unsounds like me! Aoki shows Azad Kashmir Radio, 100 kW from Pakistan is also on 7265 at this time, but suspected it was imaginary. Next for WOR: Sat 2030v WA0RCR 1860-AM ND? Sun 0415v WA0RCR 1860-AM ND? Mon 0400v WBCQ 5110v-CUSB Area 51 to WSW Mon 0430 WRMI 9955 to SSE Tue 1200 WRMI 9955 to SSE Wed 1415.5 WRMI 9955 to SSE Wed 2200 WBCQ 7490v to WSW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 9955, WRMI revised program grid as of Nov 6 shows R. Eslovaquia Internacional in Spanish not only at 1130-1200 daily except Sundays, but also at 1330-1400 M-F! So my logs last few days of RSI in ``wrong`` language Spanish instead of English at 1330 are now contradicted by the schedule, as if intentionally changed, tho doesn`t make sense. Presumably R. Prague at 1300-1330 except Sundays remains in English; it`s shown as R. Praga Mon-Thu at 1100-1126 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 7490.00, Fri Nov 6 at 2214, WBCQ seems right on-frequency during `Behaviour Night` = ancient music recordings, and VG signal with no BBC Thailand QRM audible. If/when WBCQ fades, skips over part of N America, BBC will likely appear (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** VATICAN [non]. 7425, Nov 7 at 0229, Vatican R IS is JBA from Greenville leapfrog of 7305 over 7365, about to close; while ALBANIA remains escaped to 7470, but not any stronger, with propagation degraded (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 5925, Nov 6 at 1315, very poor talk in unknown language, marred by humwhine seemingly self-imposed. HFCC shows only thing is CNR from Beijing; Aoki says it`s CNR-5, but also lists Voice of Vietnam-2 during this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 17805.50-USB, Nov 6 at 2220, very poor 2-way INTRUDERS, probably in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 1612 UT November 7 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/ _______________________________________________ THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE IS FREE.
