which program start regular at 0700 UT.
Test tone lasted til 06.59:36 UTC,
start of a {national?} hymn, sung by a male voice chorus,
very low modulation though.
07.00:15 UTC station annmt.
07.00:45 UTC HQ prayer start.
Little QRM by adjacent CRI English sce from Cerrik Albania relay site
on 11750 kHz til 0658 UT, latter S=9 strength,
CRI service towards NoEaAF, Red Sea, LBY, EGY, SDN, JOR, ISR.
11860 kHz, Republic of Yemen Radio, total different signal,
fluttery at S=6-7 strength in Qatar,
so seemingly an unit at Riyadh site was in use at this time til 0858 UT ?

** ASCENSION. 11770, Nov 13 at 0721, BBCWS with an English interview,
poor-fair, same on // 12095. Both are Ascension this hour only, 125 kW at 65
degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BIAFRA [non]. After discovering R. Biafra on its first day of reactivation,
Nov 12 around 1930 via WRMI 11530, I`m looking for the other announced
broadcast, 0500-0600 on WRMI 11530, and on Issoudun 7240: Nov 13 at 0529, JBA
carriers on both.
It`s normal for WRMI to be almost gone from other 25m 11580 this late. And one
wonders how well 11530 could propagate into Nigeria from the nightmiddle in FL.
(Also there is a huge 10-MHz gap for the 1900 broadcast between 11530 and
WRMI`s existing service to the same area on 21525; which works better, or not
at all?)
However, Ivo Ivanov in B`lgariya says, ``But morning transmission of Radio
Biafra on Nov 13 was 0500-0600 on 11530 via RMI, not on 7240 via ISS``. So what
was the JBA carrier I had on 7240? Day frequency of AIR Mumbai? Certainly not
RRI Ambon, Indonesia in English, another wacko entry in HFCC. Or a Western
Hemisphere ham could have been AMing on 7240 just to confuse us (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. 9630, Nov 12 at 2316, Vietnamese? atop R. Aparecida, making
a fast SAH with it, indicating the ZY is almost on-frequency! No, it`s
Cantonese, this hour only from CRI per NDXC, 500 kW, 161 degrees from Jinhua
831 site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 11885, Nov 13 at 0002, CRI English with amazingly good signal for a
broadcast listed at 0000-0157, 500 kW, 200 degrees from Xi`an. Maybe long path?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. It`s Nov 12, time for the delayed B-17 schedule to go into effect at
RHC, so what do we find??
11880, Nov 12 at 2307, open carrier/dead air on this A-17 frequency, which has
already been heard with French during this hour instead of English. 11880 still
OC/DA at 2330. 11880 off at 0001 Nov 13 check,
[non] No sign of its replacement 9720 yet, but at 2315 there is algo VP on
9720. Aoki shows CRI in Japanese via Xi`an during this hour. A bit stronger at
2334, soft flute music. 9720 off after 0000, no RHC or anything else.
15730, Nov 12 at 2307 and later, no signal here. Supposed to be on at
2330-0130, starting with Esperanto on Sundays only instead of French. Still
absent after 2330. Or not propagating? No sign of Esperanto on any of the other
frequencies now or after 0000.
15370, Nov 12 at 2330 has a VP signal, RHC which is scheduled until 2400;
winter fadeouts getting early. Can barely match it to // 11840 and also very
weak 15230 with `Mundo de la Filatelia` which is just another excuse to
blah-blah-blah about The Revolution, now at 58th anniversary. Also JBA on
13740, but blasting in on 5040.
`En Contacto` DX program starts at 2343:20. After 0001 Nov 13, other RHCs
checked: 11840 is VP; 11760 & 11670 seem off; 9535 audible; 6060 ZY het. At
0035, 11840 is a JBA carrier; at 0136, 7340 is VP, and 5040 is still VG in
Spanish.
English is now supposed to start at 0200 instead of 0100. At 0204, nothing on
6165 or 6145, but 6000 is on with weakish signal and weaker modulation. Altho
the sked versions in DXLD 17-45 show 6165 reactivated in English after 0200,
another B-17 version received by Ken Zichi in the MARE Tipsheet shows 6145
instead. As long as this transmitter is inoperative, it hardly matters which.
After 0200, NO RHC frequencies are audible on 9 or 11 MHz bands. Still no 6145
or 6165 at 0413 Nov 13 check.
What`s going on after 0700 Nov 13? At 0735, RHC music on 6100 and weaker 6060;
neither 6165 nor 6145; 6000 and 5040 are off.
Guess what: now Wolfgang B?schel has received an update from Arnie Coro that
the new sked will not go into effect until Nov 14/UT 15! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** CUBA. 15432 approx., Nov 13 at 1520, extremely distorted blob around here,
first suspected Saudi Arabia which used to go haywire on 15435. Trace of its
carrier is detectable vs the blob; scheduled to start Call of Islam at 1450
(Allah`ll get `em for that?).
Soon obvious from modulation match that this is once again the RHC 15370
transmitter, which sounds OK on fundamental, but blasting out spurblobs approx.
every 62 kHz above and below, which I then find around: 15308, 15246, 15184,
15122. But the further ones unseem at 62 kHz steps, more like 15059, 14997,
14935; and not so many audible above: circa 15499, 15561, 15623, 15687,
weakening the further out but there should be NONE of these infesting the band
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6945-USB, Nov 12 at 2324, S9 pirate music. Yes, it`s Clever

** OKLAHOMA [non]. 7730 // 5850, Monday Nov 13 at 0734, I`m still awake and
find WRMI is surprisingly broadcasting James Branum with `Broad Spectrum
Radio`, both S9+30! Skedgrid still shows `Your Weekend Show` at 0700-0800
Mondays (while Argentina relay in English is Tue-Sat only). It`s way past my
bedtime but I keep listening. He`s talking about relief aid to Puerto Rico in
the form of AM-FM-SW radios, batteries and fans. 0742 on to next subject,
memorial tribute to friend and used-bookstore owner Kelly Anthony Hayes who was
murdered Sept 14 in Oklahoma City. But he did a lot of other things during his
life, including serving as a judge in Garfield County 1981-1986. Store was 30
Penn Books. 0754 starts to wrap up, ``see you next week``, mentions WBCQ and
WRMI, for at 0756 he mixes old music piece with CW and MFSK16 beeps, but
listeners on Channel 292 will only hear the music due to German broadcast
restrixions. On 7730 this runs until 0759:30 switch to a Zanotti ID, 0800 the
n another canned ID by Biermann, and switch to Brother MoleStair. Then I check
5850 and find instead `Happy Station` is starting, but I have to QRT.
Also surprised that James has given us no advance warning of his reactivated
BSR broadcasts, so we don`t know the time scheduled on WBCQ, or if there are
other times than the middle of the night on WRMI. Later checking
http://broadspectrumradio.com we find out all about it:

** TIBET [non]. 9315, Nov 13 at 1513, S9-S7 in tonal Asian language, several US
references. HFCC shows IBB, 1500-1600, 250 kW, 288 degrees from Tinian in Bod =
Tibetan. HFCC never cares which IBB station, but Aoki/NDXC says Radio Free
Asia. No jamming audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1903 monitoring: per Ivo Ivanov:
``GERMANY. Reception of World of Radio via HLR 9485-CUSB on Nov 12:
http://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.bg/2017/11/reception-of-world-of-radio-via-hlr.html

0731-0800 6190 GOH 001 kW / 230 deg to CeEu Sat Nov 11 - NO SIGNAL``
NOT confirmed, UT Monday Nov 13 at 0030 on WBCQ 9330v-CUSB --- no signal
detectable, (while 9370 WWRB is VG, but 9265 WINB is VP). Confirmed UT Mon Nov
13 at 0400 on Area 51 webcast, but inaudible at 0413 check on WBCQ 5130v.
Confirmed after 0430 UT Monday Nov 13 on WRMI 9955, good S9+10 this time, no
jamming, while other weeks it`s been JBA. Next:
Tue 0030 WBCQ 9330v-CUSB to WSW
Tue 0030 WRMI 7730 to WNW
Tue 2030 WRMI 11580 to NE, 9455 to WNW, 7780 to NE
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9955 // 11580, Sunday Nov 12 at 2313, I find WRMI with AWR Wavescan
on both these frequencies --- and at 2329, also wrapping up WS on 5850, while
already finished on the first two. So the playback on 5850 is running a
semi-minute behind. Latest info we had for DX/SWL/MEDIA programs was:
2230-2300 WRMI: WAVESCAN 5850
2300-2330 WRMI: WAVESCAN 11580 9395 9955
So now moving 5850 half an hour later. I don`t think it was on 9395, but not
sure if I checked it. Revise to:
2300-2330 WRMI: WAVESCAN 11580 9955; 5850 delayed 30 seconds.
WRMI sked grid still shows WS on 5850 at 2230 Sunday. 2300 on 5850 is occupied
by Radio Tirana in English Mon-Sat, so the slot would have been unaccounted for
on Sunday. WS could have been played twice in a row?
9955 not noted any jamming during WS but heavy at 2342 during the `Michael
Mendez Show`. The major jammed block should now be UT Tue-Sat 0015-0100 during
Noticiero and Radio Libertad (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3215, UT Mon Nov 13 at 0136, no signal from WWRB, which was heard
last night. Could be only one hour circa 0000-0100? Nothing on 3185 or 3195
either, but 9370 presumed the VP carrier still with BS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9475, Nov 13 at 1515, S9+20 of dead air from WTWW-1 instead of PPPP
on SFAW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11670, Nov 13 at 0720, S9+10 almost steady open carrier. It`s an
RHC frequency earlier, but unbelievable to be so strong now, equivalent to NZ
11725, as 11580 WRMI is JBA carrier; no 11520 from WEWN. The North American MUF
is clearly between 10 and 11 MHz, as 9955 WRMI remains unusually strong. 9330,
Nov 13 at 0723, also has S9 of dead air, and we know that is a Cuban spy
numbers frequency, not WBCQ at this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

I stumbled upon this while checking out the 25 meter band. Clear ID by a man in
EE, then into another language. Very strong signal, SIO 555. I wonder who is
relaying this?
1932 An ID by a YL, announced 7240 and 11530 as the frequencies from 6 AM to 7
AM, and 11530 from 8 PM to 9 PM, and said broadcasting from London. They also
gave a number for text messages.

Ed,
Please check 11860 Yemen service at various times of day and night, and decide
whether it is an extremely strong local groundwave signal, or not; is there any
propagational fading? Evaluate whether it is similar to other BSKSA signals
from Riyadh, or not? One time when there has been a regular site switch has
been between 1750 and 1800 UT. Compare it to 11745 when both are on the air.
