My previous comment about their being ``clueless`` reached Susan Owensby who fired back at me, but then a friendly exchange explaining that her parents were both from Muskogee, so that could explain it. She is now aware of DXLD for info about RFI transmissions which the staff may not be officially informed about by management. Her next `Sound Kitchen` presumably airs on the UT Saturday broadcast (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** GREECE. 9420, Nov 27 at 0159, VOG is on, as is more and more rare, 5-pip mis-timesignal ending at 0200:23! VOG theme, I Foni Tis Helladas, Greek announcement mentions Makedonias, so is it relaying that program? Guess not as then ID ``Edho Athinai`` rather than Thessaloniki. Good signal, yet nothing from 9330 WBCQ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U A E [and non]. 17640.14, Nov 27 at 1424, very poor carrier, typical of Saudi Arabia offset, but no, this time it`s BBC Hausa at 1400-1430 only, via UAE, another site known for failing to maintain frequency accuracy. 17705.01, Nov 27 at 1424, S9+10 in Arabic, this BSKSA frequency is close to accuracy (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 6080, Nov 27 at 0619, good open carrier, with some stray Cuban pulse jamming audible under, no doubt Greenville about to start the substitute 0630-0700-only VOA English service (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1801 monitoring: UT Friday Nov 27 at 0200 cannot pull any signal at all from WBCQ on 9330-CUSB, but maybe it`s still on and not propagating to here, or skipping over. I asked if anyone else was hearing it, but no replies. Other WBCQs, 7490 BS rather weakened, but 5109.7 OK. Next: Fri 2130 WRMI 15770 to NE Fri 2130.5 WRMI 7570 to NW Sat 0730 HLR 7265-CUSB to SW Sat 1530 HLR 7265-CUSB to SW Sat 2030v WA0RCR 1860-AM ND? Sun 0415v WA0RCR 1860-AM ND?

Supposed to be on Area 51 webcast too, but no connexion there, some error message about java, which I don`t normally get. Not really needed since 5109.7 signal is propagating well this early. 2245 says was Bill Boyd & Cowboy Ramblers with ``Tin Roof Blues``, on the Pirate Joe Country Music Show, Blues and R&B Extravaganzo on WHVW 950 and WBCQ SW 5110. Then spends a few minutes hunting for info about the song, the year recorded, and back-announces some more, including ``Rock of My Soul``. 2251, Bob Wills, ``Red Hot Needle``; 2258 ``Dixie``, 2300 legal ID for both stations and into ``Evening Concert`` of classical music, background about first piece to be an Ignaz Moscheles piano concerto; sponsored by a life insurance agency. Very well, but all this does not seem to be about Thanksgiving in particular. Supposed to conti nue until 0100. 5109.70-CUSB, UT Fri Nov 27 after 0200 UT is again with new show `Just Right`, leading with background explanation by two guys conversing. Seems this was originally on the 6 kW, 94.9 MHz student station at the University of Western Ontario in London, CHRW, ``Your Cure for Corporate Radio``, but the GM banned them for anti-Islamic stance, which continues to be the main point of the broadcast now on SW courtesy of WBCQ. Refers to their website http://www.justrightmedia.org where there is a very large archive of this and previous broadcasts: ``Not right *wing* --- JUST RIGHT hosted by Robert Metz and Robert Vaughan`` with a very wide variety of subjects. Not part of Area 51, so something else is on the A51 webcast. This is audible while WOR on WBCQ 9330 is not ? if we keep to that schedule, it`ll be much better once winter is past (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5085, Nov 27 at 1347, surprised to find WTWW-3 on air, call-in to 973-506-8442, about the ``Montauk Chronicles``, interview with film-maker Christopher about alien abduxions, etc. Suggests that all science fiction is really true, implanted by the aliens to confuse us. No breaks at all for ads, not even for 1400 hourtop ID past 1415. Refers to http://unknownoriginsradio.com That site confirms, just as I suspected, that we`re listening to the Dark Matters Radio Network, which WTWW failed to turn off at 0800 UT following Art Bell! Must have been on all night with whatever DMRN was feeding, but UOR is originally webcast Thursdays at 8-10 pm ET = UT Fridays 01-03, and obviously not formatted for real broadcasts requiring station IDs. Details of latest show 5.42 are not yet posted. Meanwhile, at 1420 Nov 27, WTWW-1 is MISSING from 5830 and 9475, while WTWW-3 is on 12105 already at 1459 with S9+10 open carrier --- a time it is not supposed to be on at all. Maybe that never went off last night at 0200, altho hardly propagating overnight, after having been dead air yesterday afternoon too. When all three WTWW transmitters are out of whack, we can`t help but wonder if Ted Randall, who has been ailing, is all right, obviously no one at the controls. At 1455 I am still hearing 5085, and at 1508 it`s still the same concerning 12105 on, 9475 off. Recheck at 1739, 9475 is now on with PPPP, 12105 is still on with OC, and can`t hear 5085 whether it is on or not (nor 9930) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 12050 // 11550 in Spanish, 15610 in English, Nov 27 at 1500, what do you know, WEWN is running all three transmitters (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** VATICAN [non?]. 21550, Nov 27 at 1505, VG signal with classical music, then Italian announcement from Vatican Radio about special broadcast covering the Pope in Entebbe Uganda; and on to same announcement in other languages, 1507 English, 1508 French, rotating; still not underway at 1517 when the English ``about to broadcast live`` canned announcement runs again, mentioning 21550 in English, 21570 in French, 21560 in Portuguese, and like yesterday the latter two are just barely audible here while 21550 is inbooming, so not all from SMG site? The VR special schedule as of yesterday said this would start at 1445 today, but never specifies any end-times, if you`ll pardon the expression (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 4900, Nov 27 at 1333, no signal from the S Korean numbers station which was on for hours and hours yesterday playing one song over and over. Numerous carriers, a few with audio are found on 60m frequencies mostly corresponding to Tibet, India, China, Indonesia, between 1336 and 1346 Nov 27: 4869.99, 4895, 4880, 4850, 4820, 4810, 4800, 4749.94 Indonesian, 4920, 4950, 4970, 4980, 5006 = Japan?, 5010, 5040, 5050, 5060. It goes without mentioning that relatively bigsigs from 4835 Australia and 4940 China are also to be heard (oops, I mentioned it) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 17574.70-USB, Nov 27 at 1513, INTRUDERS, 2-way in rapid colloquial Spanish, contacts at about equal strength, quick cambios. Hard for me to follow, but mentions frijoles, guarda-costas, puta --- so bean smugglers? Something about changing to 35 (secret frequency designator?) in the tarde (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) NOTE: in Enid and much of western Oklahoma, an ice storm is building up. As of 1745 UT Nov 27 here, trees and powerlines are icing up, and it`s windy. This is supposed to continue another 24 hours, so we may well lose power, no telling for how long. At least we have gas heating, and lots of batteries, but may be out of contact for a while.

I`ve notified them of the problem, which may be the least of what they are confronted with at GB, from aging equipment and understaffing. Anyhow, she includes a long interview rather than music until 2139 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1801 monitoring: confirmed Friday November 27 at 2130 on WRMI 15770, sufficient. However, at 2130.6 on WRMI 7570, it`s WOR 1800 --- it seems I missed uploading the new file to System F at Okeechobee; my fault. Which means the Thu 2100 airing on 7570 was also the old one. (As my error rate climbs despite my best efforts, it may be time to retire?) Now #1801 is ready to go on System F should there still be any need for it.

I gather this was produced well before the latest incidents, a happier time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5085, Nov 27 at 2128, WTWW-2 is on early, or rather probably still on all-day. Might have been able to hear it with all devices off at midday. As in previous report, has stayed plugged in to Dark Matter Radio Network instead of closing down at 0800 after `Midnight [sic] in the Desert`; on autopilot, or an experiment? Very poor signal now but definitely there with something talking. At 2141 sounds like it could be Unshackled, some kind of drama. Retune at 2208, now I recognize the voice of eminent scientist and broadcaster Dr Michio Kaku, continuous talk about when science was a priority in the Islamic world, then in China, which had the largest fleet of ships in the world, exploring as far as Africa, but finding there were no competing empires, destroyed the ships and turned inward. Finally overtaken by Europe with the Renaissance. 2228 abrupt cut to music, but it`s still Michio outroing part 1 of `Exploration`, apparently somewhat edited down. Then into part 2, with two guests on different phones discussing nuclear accidents, or ``broken-arrows``, H-bombs accidentally dropped by US in South Carolina, off Spain, and Greenland but which did not (and could not) detonate. 2257 once again abrupt cut to theme and outro Explorations. 2257.5 a series of program promos for other shows on Dark Matters Radio Network, `The Unexplained`, Paranormal-something, `Capricorn Radio`; 2300 ID and into spooky music, `More Questions Than Answers`, ``the only paranormal quiz show``. Here`s the full program schedule in PT/ET, confirming `Exploration` Fridays at 2/5 pm = 2200 UT: http://darkmatterdigitalnetwork.com/ So as long as this error(?) lasts, that`s what we`ll be hearing on 5085. This schedule is not 24 hours, however, taking a break in the daytimes, and in fact not resuming on Fridays until 2200 UT. ``Due to the nature of the varied length of podcasts, start times are approximate. We will be repeating shows throughout the night [sic] after the live/new program segment.`` Michio Kaku is right-on, a science FACT show, which hardly belongs mixed in with this other stuff, but a way to get on the air. I was wondering if the defunct Global 24 had something to do with this being on SW, as his `Exploration` show was on that for a while, after I had initially recommended Kaku to ``Phil Workman`` as a good show to pick up filling 24/7 of airtime. Meanwhile, WTWW-3 is *again/still* dead air on 12105, S9+30 Nov 27 at 2142 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. Correxion: this was on 15570, not 15770! 15570, Nov 25 at 2052, open carrier, dead air, good signal, probably Greenville warming up here to take over 15580 at 2100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) NOTE: Still no power loss at WOR HQ; as of 0040 UT Nov 28, OG&E shows 486 customers without power in Enid, double the figure of a few hours earlier. But the temp has fallen to 28, which means less freezing rain even if precipitating. Our trees are heavy-laden but not breaking yet (gh) This report dispatched at 0043 UT November 28 End of Hard-Core-DX Digest, Vol 155, Issue 28 *********************************************
