FRANCE Checked Radio Biafra, 9580 kHz at 1900 UT
{here for the first time}.
Yes, - according signal strength observation and propagation
is tentativelly both RMI FMO organized by Mr. Jeff White as
7240 kHz 05-06 UT TDF ISS 100 kW 170degrees towards 46S,47N,47SW,52NW
same at
9580 kHz 19-20 UT TDF ISS 100 kW 170degrees towards 46S,47N,47SW,52NW.
Due of dead skip zone nearby in Europe only less than fair S=6-7
or -88dBm strength - or less - here in England, Belgium and Germany,
but far away
in Doha Qatar S=9 or -74dBm strength on 9580 kHz, Biafra ID at 1903 UT.
TX on air 18.59:40 UT, fluttery signal in Europe.
I guess powerhouse down on Equator in Sahel, Sahara, Nigeria
as S=9+30 to +40dB powerful.
But poor signals noted in NoAmerica east coastline
on 9580 kHz in FL, MI and NJ-USA remotes only S=4,
compared to 31mb RMI 9395 and 9955 kHz who are S=9+30dB at least instead.

** BIAFRA [non]. 11530, Nov 20 at 1904, R. Biafra Broadcasting from London,
good via WRMI, with a prayer in presumed Igbo language, ends with ``amen``. But
there was a problem, as I wrote Jeff White later:
``Hi Jeff, I listened to the early part of Radio Biafra today after 19 UT on
11530. FYI there was an irregular ``chuffing`` sound averaging about 2 times
per second. This was heard first on my car radio, but not heard on other
frequencies, and also heard on this frequency when I checked on a portable
radio outside the car (11580 and 11825 were not doing it). So apparently a
problem with the 11530 transmitter; which XMTR # is it, by the way? Still does
not show on your schedule grid for either transmission. 73, Glenn`` (No reply.)
A quick check at 1900 UT Nov 21 finds 11530 OK without the chuffing.
But I`m busy recording WORLD OF RADIO Tuesday afternoon, so later I find Biafra
show on a WRMI server, under a different name, and listen to the opening via
that. Now there appears to be a regular invocation a few minutes after start,
in Igbo, guy mentioning Jehova, Jesus Christ, and concluding with Amen.
Apparently Biafran = Christian, or else. Then the now-head of IPOB endorses in
English the Anambra State elexion Nov 18, which he concludes was legitimate

** BOTSWANA. 4930, Nov 22 at 0005, JBA carrier, also at 0220, presumed VOA
African service relay in English. After my previous report of that Nov 19
around 0230, ahead of normal *0300, Ron Howard suggested that VOA could have
expanded to 24 hours due to the crisis in Zimbabwe. Wolfgang B?schel agreed
with a schedule of 23 or 24 hours on this frequency and also MW 909. That`s
nice, but most VOA programming is disposable music filler, beyond news on the
hour, as Mark Taylor, WI, NASWA Flashsheet was also hearing as early as 0205 as
early as November 17.
If the crisis is now over with the resignation of Mugabe, perhaps VOA will
contract again. But not yet. There are other changes/extensions, as Alan Roe,
Teddington, England, UK, reported:
``USA. 21 November at 2000 UT - VoA is broadcasting a special programme
concerning Zimbabwe in a local language on 6195 kHz via Botswana in place of
usual African Beat English programming``

** EAST TURKISTAN. 5060 & 4980 & 4850 & 4500, Nov 21 at 2357, JBA carriers,
surely the four different language services of PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi, grayline.
There are several other JBA carriers on 60m matching Tibetan, Indian or Chinese
stations, but this quartet all add up to nothing but Xinjiang (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU [and non]. 5980, Nov 21 at 2251, JBA carrier, which is probably Radio
Chaski during its hour in the clear; overcome at *2257 by much stronger AM
carrier from Romania, this time switching to contrary-to-schedule DRM noise
after a few seconds, rather than waiting until 2300 or later. Can no longer
make out Chaski carrier underneath it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 5960, Nov 21 at 2300, VOT English to North America is poor-fair but
I can tell that the clueless announcer (or his recording) is still announcing
A-17 times and frequencies for English, all of which are now wrong in B-17

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1904 monitoring: Not confirmed UT Tue Nov 21 at 0030
on WBCQ 9330v-CUSB: no signal (meanwhile 7490 is OK, nothing on 5130 or 3265;
9395 WRMI is fair). But confirmed UT Tue Nov 21 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG. Also
confirmed Tue Nov 21 at 2030 on WRMI 11580 better than // 9455 better than //
7780.

Rico, Romania, Russia and non, Solomon Islands, Somaliland and non, Sri Lanka,
USA, Zimbabwe, unidentified; and the propagation outlook
WORLD OF RADIO 1905 monitoring: confirmed first airing completed just a few
minutes earlier, Tuesday November 21 at 2130 on WRMI, 9455, good. Trying to
confirm next chance, UT Wednesday November 22 at 0030 on WBCQ, 9330v-CUSB:
first on the R75, I only get a JBA carrier on about 9328.19, as I have before,
but apparently this is from a local device, to which this radio is closest. At
0032 on the PL-880 on the porch, I can recognize me JBA about 9329.9. Then at
0035 on the NRD545 I can also hear me about 9329.99, but not well enough to
recognize whether it`s new #1905, but probably. So WBCQ is transmitting, just
extremely weakly, still such a trace at 0048. Meanwhile neighbors are much
better: 9395 WRMIBS at S9+20; 9370 WWRBS at S9+25; even 9265 WINB is S9. And
the other WBCQ, 7489.95, is S8. Next:

** U S A. 5830, Nov 21 at 0716, no signal from WTWW-1, but a very poor carrier
on 9475, probably this, forsaken by Ted on its day frequency all night.
BTW, neighborhood continuous line noise has erupted, reaching S9 around 5.8
MHz. And no one even has Xmas decorations up yet, that I can see (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7520, Nov 22 at 0047, no signal from WWCR-4 scheduled here at
0000-0200, after 9980, and before 6115. The other three are found on 5935, 6115
(not yet on 4 or 3 MHz), and surprisingly well with DGS on 13845, which must be
getting a sporadic-E boost. Tnx to a tip from Peter W Hansen, FL, at 0225 UT
Nov 21, to the DXLD yg: ``Last night WWCR-4 was not on 6115; tonight it has not
been on 7520, 6115 or 5890``
Also the next night, Nov 22 at 0205, 6115 is not on altho had logged it some
nights before, after the swap from WWCR-1 to WWCR-4 at 0200 for one more hour.
So it appears #4 is out of order (or it has suddenly lost a lot of business).
The entire website schedule for it, in case its other frequencies also lack:
Transmitter #4 - 100 KW - 90 Degrees
12:00 AM-07:00 AM 0600-1300 5890
07:00 AM-06:00 PM 1300-0000 9980
06:00 PM-08:00 PM 0000-0200 7520
08:00 PM-09:00 PM 0200-0300 6115
09:00 PM-12:00 AM 0300-0600 5890
6295, Nov 22 at 2302, JBA carrier. I`m looking for a leapfrog mixing product
from WWCR, since when they run two transmitters on the same band, like 5890 and
5935 later at night, they do constantly leapfrog, in that case to a mixture on
5980 (and fighting Radio Mart? after 0700, and Cuban jamming even earlier. WWCR
is axually contributing to this ``jamming``). In this case, 5935 would leap
over 6115, another 180 kHz higher. Suspect it is WWCR on 6295, more likely here
than a Europirate (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
