5845 IBC 2000 just heard the station on 2000+some secs listening "visit IBC
webs com" then with Starwars OST and signal S9 with moderate QSB up to S2.
While 1584 is normally occupied by a greeK pirate, IBC was well heard with
S7 signal. DX program was heard mentioning Salvador 1350 Briscolacio on1470?
and something more. There is a delay between both signals with 5845 preceding
the MW transmisssion by 25-50 secs
On 2028 , 1584 was with MFSK Studio X. was heard after 2030
5845 continued in italian wih DX program Trasmission lasted tilll 2100 .30
secs carrier then s/off.
I noticed that program was started abt 1min ahead of its time (2059 for the
next italian program for example )
Contuous breaks from listening due to family Reasons !!
Usage :R75+16 inv V nearby THS GR on 22/11.

Straight southwards at 170degr out of France.
11530 RMI relay in Okeechobee FL-US east coast, S=8 or -79dBm,
the other 25mb of RMI 11580 kHz is little stronger S=9 or -68dBm.

** BIAFRA [non]. 11530, Nov 23 at 0534, Radio Biafra Broadcasting from London,
via WRMI is back on as usual, despite the previous transmission Nov 22 at 19-20
having been off the air. Fair with music at the moment, and stronger than VP
other WRMIBS 11580. // 7240 via FRANCE is a JBA carrier. 11530 after 0600 again
fills an hour with BS, and from 0700 switches to Radio Herwa International ---
continued at NIGERIA [non].
11530, Nov 23 at 1930 check, R. Biafra is back on today via WRMI after missing
yesterday during this hour, with music, 1930 ID and text number. 1932
introduces a ``very important announcement``, over to the OM with very heavy
accent in English, about mourning for a ``great son of Biafra`` who has died,
was VP of Nigeria 1979-1982. 1956 sign-off announcement, clueless YL blows the
``numbers`` again, claiming ``724`` and 11530 are in use for both morning and
evening broadcasts, while at 19-20 the second channel is really 9580, JBA
carrier here, which she never mentions. Wolfgang B?schel has concluded it`s
Issoudun at 170 degrees, just like 7240 at 05, but there is no confirmation of
this in HFCC or from WRMI. 11530 cuts off the air about 2000* when the WRMI ID
is almost finished (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15370, Nov 23 at 1600, RHC signing off all but 11760 for the next
trihour, and except for the now four FM 24h frequencies. The new one I can now
copy as: 89.1 in provincia de Cienfuegos. The WTFDA FM Database has only one
89.1 in Cuba, Radio Ta?no in Holgu?n. Jim Thomas, editor of the DB, is trying
to find out exactly where in Cienfuegos it be, if not the city of the same
name; may try asking Arnie (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA [non]. 11530, Nov 23 at 0700, WRMI which started at 0500 with Biafra
[non, q.v.], 0600 with BS, now Radio Herwa International, still has VG signal
in Hausa, and around 0720 sounds like another language which would be Kanuri.
Lots of brief announcements and music alternating, much like Biafra. See my
previous report for identity, background of this new service. // 13710 via
France is inaudible here. Bill Bingham says both African services on 11530
provide insufficient signals into RSA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. See USA: WRMI
** TURKEY. 12035, Nov 23 at 1418, Turkish music, poor at tail of VOT English
service, back on air successfully today, after missing 24 hours earlier (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1905 monitoring: confirmed Thursday November
23 at 2230.5 on WRMI, 5850, VG. This frequency did not cut on air until 2229.5
with S9+20 carrier; 2230.0 the `Okeechobee River`` song ID before WOR. Certain
same versions of the WRMI IDs always play at the same time from week to week.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7780, Thu Nov 23 at 2052, this WRMI has broken away from The
Overkiller to become // 9455 and // 11580 during VORW, which starts at 2000.
Have not been checking 7780 every day between 20 and 21, but so far the only
other variation known is WORLD OF RADIO Tuesdays at 2030, otherwise BS still
heard. At 2100 today, 7780 resumes BS // 11825 et al.
Overkiller: AFAIK I am the only one who has pinned this nickname on R.G. For
non-native speakers I should explain once, that this has nothing to do with
killing or murder --- he`s probably not that evil. The term ``overkill`` merely
implies excessiveness, i.e. I mean employing far more transmitters and
frequencies than necessary. Come to think of it, his prophecies are also
overkill. Another English lesson: prophecy (PRA-fuh-see) = noun; prophesy
(PRA-fuh-sigh) = verb (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) WRMI: See also
BIAFRA [non], NIGERIA [non]
** U S A. 9395, Thu Nov 23 at 2142, the WRMI Oldies channel is playing a
romantic song in German, and then another! Hardly fits the format. On a jaunt
into the country, I keep listening continuously on the caradio. 2150, more like
it, ``Whiter Shade of Pale``; 2154 a quick jingle/announcement I can`t copy vs
the music talker, but it doesn`t seem to be anything about Oldies.
Unusually, there is NO break at 2200 for a WRMI or program ID, just keeps
playing amid a song, and like so much rock, I can`t make out the lyrix or even
be certain this one is in English, but all of them are in romantic vein; and
now after 2200, 9455 has rejoined // 9395 after its hour substituting for
program variety of suspended 15770. Another uncopiable announcement at 2212;
2216 ``Nights in White Satin`` by Moody Blues. During this entire span there
was no break for VOA News either, nor promo/announcements by Bob Biermann. So I
am wondering if WRMI has diversified this channel beyond mere Oldies in
English, from some other source? Or maybe a holiday diversion? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. LANGUAGE LESSONS: I often listen to `The World` weekdays at 20-21 UT
via 91.7 KOSU Stillwater. Especially recommended is most of the program for TG
Day Nov 23, from their podcast, `The World in Words``, exploring where the
boundary lie between dialects and languages, examples being
Danish/Norwegian/Swedish, and Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian (never mind
Montenegrin). Fuzzy like red to orange. Hear it here:
https://pri.org/programs/pris-world/rohingya-return-deal-signed-hmong-american-chef-and-languages-vs-dialects
`The World` is a prime public radio program which ought to be on SW, as I have
suggested to Jeff White (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** YEMEN [non]. 11860, UT Thu Nov 23 at 1420, Republic of Yemen Radio,
presumably via SAUDI ARABIA, long path, is good S9+10 to S9 with Qur`an, for
quite a while, 1440 into spoken preaching. No doubt due to the Fribbath which
is underway from sunset in Sana`a at 1430. By 1500 it`s much weaker, site
change or just fade? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ZANZIBAR. 11735, Nov 23 at 2059, ZBC with nice ME music, soon to
announcement, interrupted by cutoff at 2059:50* or so. It had attained S9-S7,
seldom this good earlier, especially for the Spice FM English news somedays at
1800 or even the music when checked around 2000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED [non]. 5030, re my ``intriguing JBA carrier`` here, never mind:
Nov 23 at 1410 it`s more than JBA, with some modulation I can match to my
closest local, 1390 KCRC, and mixing with something else. But I can`t figure
out the math to land on 5030 by combining with my other local 960 KGWA, nor any
likely very strong SW signal. It may be external rather than receiver-produced,
since it does not go away when I turn off the R75 preamps (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** BOTSWANA. 4930, Nov 24 at 0118, VOA relay still expanded, VP S4-S6 with
music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 11820, Nov 24 at 0056, song at S5-S2, yet stands out vs much weakened
Florida and Cuba nearby on 11825, 11840, etc. Typical CRI behavior: cut off at
0057*. Xi`an does it again on 25m, 500 kW, 200 degrees, long path? in Cantonese
from 0000 per Aoki/NDXC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 770, Nov 24 at 0125, Spanish immediately mentions ``nuestro comandante
en jefe, Fidel Castro Ruz``, so suspected Cuban. Then a calendar of events to
do with various Revolutionary anniversaries; on E-W, not N-S antenna also
making Mexico unlikely. Radio Rebelde, as listed for Victoria de las Tunas
(named after a music competition?)? No, not // 5025 or 1180. Finally resumes
PBP of a partido est?pido de pelota, and lucky me, Radio Artemisa ID in
passing, the only other Cuban on 770. In fact, CMCW, La Salud, Artemisa is much
closer, just SW of Habana, than Tunas way off to the Orient.
0200 recheck for a ToH ID? Now bleed from KKOB and/or KKOB is mixing, as I hear
a Spanish mention of 97.5 FM, but think this is a different station before CMCW
fade back in with b?isbol. WRTH doesn`t show any 97.5s among the Artemisa
frequencies; nor for 770 Mexicans in WRTH, IRCA or Cant?. WRTH link to
artemisaradioweb.icrt.cu does not work without the www. But I find nothing
about FM frequencies other than the main one 92.1 along with 1000 AM. Why not
try the Dominican Republic 770 station? WRTH shows its FM on 97.1 --- close but
not close enough. No leads in the WTFDA FM Database either (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 4765, Nov 24 at 0144, no signal from Radio Progreso, just CODAR
sweeps. Supposed to start at 0130. No 4764 from Per? either, presumably off
earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EAST TURKISTAN [and non]. 7480, Nov 24 at 0101, humroar obscures any program
modulation. Aoki/NDXC shows *jammed RFA Uighur, 200 kW, 60 degrees via
TAJIKISTAN this hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY. 7470, Nov 24 at 0102, again JBA carrier about S3 equal to noise
level, trace of talk with ECSS, still at 0157. I had been hoping this would
turn into Station YHWH anti-Christ pirate on his last known active frequency,
as the last time I checked the lists, nothing else was scheduled, e.g. HFCC as
of Nov 22; but now NDXC/Aoki dated Nov 23 shows 7470: VOA Deewa Radio in
Pashto, 100 kW, 92 degrees via Lampertheim at 0100-0400 --- so if & when YHWH
resume, he should do so on another frequency, clear (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** MEXICO. 580, Nov 24 at 0121, Spanish talk and song, best on the N-S antenna,
probably XEMU Piedras Negras, Coahuila, still not abandoned for FM? Altho
that`s also the opposite bearing for WIBW Topeka in English; then SAH of
64/minute between them = 1.07 Hz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 7570, Nov 24 at 0154, via WRMI, Brother HyStairical
brags that he`s on eleven SW transmitters every day, and those who mock are in
for trouble. Like WJHR? Also takes pride (?) in being ``the most hated
preacher``? Not by me: I merely pity him and those he Scares (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1905 monitoring: not confirmed UT Friday
November 24 after 0030 on WBCQ, as no signal is detectable on 9330 via any of
my receivers. But could be on / low powered and just not propagating. (US SW
stations need to be more flexible and in step with seasonal propagation
factors. 9265 WINB is S3-S5, 9470 WWRBS is S4-S7, 9395 WRMIBS is S9+25) Next:

** U S A. 5085, Nov 24 at 0111, for the second night in a row, WTWW-2 and
parasites are on with Xmasmx audible only on blasting fundamental, ``Sleigh
Ride``. Will probably remain more secular than sacred, for the duration, every
night? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 780-CUSB, Nov 24 at 0130 UT, C&W music on USB only, but over WBBM,
while tuning LSB hears nothing but WBBM. It`s KJME Fountain CO, 1900/720 watts
U4, already known to be USB.
This is an important technical factor, but apparently not to be found in FCC
info, nor in major references such as the NRC AM Log (nor the WRTH: it`s too
low-powered to make the cut for any listing). On SW such as WBCQ, CUSB means
``compatible upper sideband``, i.e. no LSB and the carrier is reduced a certain
percentage (how much?) to save power, but supposedly not enough to make it
sound like SSB without a BFO. In the case of these MW stations, I assume the
carrier is not reduced much, if at all, merely suppressing the other sideband
completely. Is this the so-called ``Power-side`` system? And what is the
advantage other than reduced power consumption? Surely it`s not to ``protect``
adjacent frequencies in the age of IBOC.
C&W music, then 0131 UT Army National Guard PSA sponsored by the Colorado
Broadcasters Association; recheck at 0147, same PSA again way over WBBM, and ad
for J. W. Hardwood Lumber CO., 719-396-2346, 20 miles east of Colorado Springs
on Hwy 24. This session of MW logs is on the NRD-545, not the DX-398 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1100, Nov 24 at 0133 UT, WTAM Cleveland OH with a creative commercial
I axually appreciate for a product I detest: a place called Cigars Cigars,
presenting it as if it were a church, along with hymnody, ``the perfect place
to rest your ash``; on to iHeart promo for WTAM, KOA, et al. (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1110, Nov 24 at 0134 UT, obviously KFAB Omaha NE but dead air! Then a
computer voice says ``45 seconds``; more dead air; then ``15 seconds`` and
about 4 double pips, before music at 0135:30 UT resuming ``The Best of the
Glenn Beck program``. So this major station during prime time lets cues on the
air during an unfulfilled local commercial break (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
