** ANGOLA. 4949.7, Nov 24 at 0439, no signal from RNA; is it off? I can
``always`` get a JBA carrier on signature off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA. 17840, Nov 24 at 0504, RA S7 with ABC News of PNG, asthma attacks
in Melbourne, 0505 `Pacific Beat`. Glad to hear this propagating so late, as
the OSOB. Gets a good summery headstart on the beam to Oklahoma (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 2749-USB & 2598-USB, Nov 24 at 0442 & 0443, YL with marine weather
in French, both S5 equal to noise level. Too weak to tell if they are //, but
CCG schedule shows both are VCF, Les Escoumins QC, starting at 0437, via
different sites Natashquan on 2598 and La Vernière on 2749. No more
transmissions on either frequency, from other stations, until 0737. The skeds
were compiled before DST was over, so are we sure they stay on same UT
yearound? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 1020, Nov 24 at 0509, I again hear ``RR`` in Morse underneath KOKP
Perry OK, about 4 seconds after true minutetops, and also the timesignal itself
about 1 second faster than WWV. Terry Krueger, FL, replies further about this,
Nov 23, 2016:
``1020: Getting Radio Artemisa at GMT 1104+ today, parallel 770, with Reloj in
the mix, also WURN, Kendall FL ("Actualidad Radio" news format in Spanish). So,
confirms not Artemisa.
Radio Guamá and CMKS also still listed at 1020 per RadioCuba; can't recall my
last reception of either here though. Still suspect Reloj is a dedicated
transmitter on 1020 from central or eastern Cuba.
Archival logs found are below. Interestingly, no trace of Reloj 1020 during
extensive Cuba monitoring from various points in the Florida Keys, 2012:
1020 CUBA Radio Reloj, Jorobo, Las Tunas. 1010 May 27, 2015. This one -- which
has been here for a long time -- is certainly dedicated solely to Reloj audio
feed and not an overnight feed, as audible well after 6:00 a.m. local time, and
certainly from the eastern half of Cuba, as not audible after 1030 GMT from
this location. This site was listed in the 2008 WRTVH.
1020 CUBA Radio Reloj, Jorobo, Las Tunas. 1135 December 12, 2010. Mostly poor
under Radio Guamá, sounders never can catch up with reality: 4 seconds off, 7
for the "RR" sounder. This one is not in your WRTVH-2010, though it was listed
a couple of years back I believe.
1020 CUBA Radio Reloj, Jorobo, Las Tunas. 1116 July 8, 2012. Weak and about the
last traces post-sunrise with Radio Artemisa dominating daytime`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 9490, Nov 24 at 0447, Cuban wall of noise jamming is still
running, long after Radio República should have finished; yet there is some
carrier amid it, maybe TIBET (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 9535, Nov 24 at 0448, RHC Spanish is again playing a torch song in
English, apparently a regular program crossing barriers, poor here, and
overmodulated, distorted on // 6060, but just right on // 9710 (Glenn Hauser,
OK,DX LITENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN. 6115, Nov 24 at 0431, pop music at S5 --- could it be R. Nikkei 2
already? Yes! It`s // 9760. Only 1331 JST. Then I check 6055 for R. Nikkei 1
and Japanese talk is there too at same level // 9595. But not yet propagating
on 75m. However, by 0456 UT I am getting JBA carriers on 3945 and 3925, before
1400 JST. Nagano sunset would not be until 1634 JST = 0734 UT, but it`s plenty
dusky along the Arctic great circle path (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 9400, Nov 24 at 1416, Denge Kurdistan via PRIDNESTROVYE is
S9+20, with a series of clips of woman speaking. Her intonation sounds like
French, but not the vocabulary! Maybe Kurdish with a strong French accent? 1452
with music. Circa 1230 today it was also well over FEBC CCI which runs until
1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MADAGASCAR. 11825, Nov 24 at 0446, MWV with APR, African-accented sermon
accompanied by bouncy music, S6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 540, Nov 24 at 0513, Mexican PSA, ``¡La Ranchera de Paquimé!``
canned ID from XETX, Nuevo Casas Grandes, Chihuahua. Slogan IDs run every few
minutes, great for DXing. So conditions back to ``normal``, this 700-watter(?)
dominating instead of CBK. Even with XETX nulled, I`m hearing Top 40ish music,
presumably XEWA SLP (which must be distinguished from the other XEWA on 540 in
Monterrey with different format) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 7410, UT Thu Nov 24 at 0412, VP S8 signal vs hi noise level
and undermodulation, but I can tell it`s Station YHWH; off already at 0444
recheck. This is exactly one week after first heard on same frequency during
same hour, so never mind my remark that he would unlikely be on the same
frequency at the same time again. In the intervening week, no reports of YHWH
anywhere by me or anyone else I am aware of (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. 7325, Nov 24 at 0054, RRI Spanish here until 0056*, finally
resolving collision with 7315 Vietnam Spanish via WHRI; as Victoria Sepciu had
notified mailing list via José Bueno. She thought the collision was with
something from Colombia! Originally registered to be on 7335 instead (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 5020, Nov 24 at 1414, still a JBA carrier this late from
SIBC, amid stronger 5015 WRMI and 5025 Rebelde (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** SUDAN SOUTH [non]. 7250, Nov 24 at 0450, urgent talk in Arabish, S7,
presumed Eye Radio, which was banned for a week by the government, locked out
of studio and FM suspended, but apparently all is well now, and not sure if the
SW via FRANCE ever stopped (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY [and non]. 6080, Nov 24 at 0432, two stations mixing at S9; VOT has a
slight edge over VOA, but neither readable (Glenn Hasuer, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 216 kHz, Nov 24 at 0515, CLB beacon, very poor. It`s CaroLina Beach =
Wilmington NC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 6501-USB, Nov 24 at 0422, robot OM weather for Gulf of Mexico,
Veracruz, somewhat distorted at S9+20. EiBi shows at 0330-0425 is NMN, USCG
Chesapeake VA. 6501 is timeshared with Guam, Hawaii and Alaska, and not so
shared with Fuzhou. USCG stations have continual problems with their SSB
clarity, up with which anyham would not put (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 7275, Nov 24 at 0419, S9+20 music and tonal African language
mentions Amerika. Aoki show`s it`s VOA in Kirundi via BOTSWANA daily at
0400-0430. Convoluted full schedule adds 0330-0400 daily via São Tomé, plus
0430-0505 M-F & 0505-0530 M-F English, both via Botswana (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1852 monitoring: confirmed UT Thursday November 24
after 0030 on WBCQ 9330- CUSB, fair.
WORLD OF RADIO 1853, ready for first airings Thursday November 24: confirmed at

** U S A [and non]. 7730, Nov 24 at 0055, WRMI reactivated after a few weeks
off this frequency, with music; and 5950 is off or very poor after borrowing
7730`s 285 degree antenna. Skedgrid shows 5950 this hour supposed to be on AWR
Cuba service, 181 degrees.
However, 7780, which was on the 44 degree antenna, is still absent. Recheck at
0413, 7780 is still off and 7730 is BS at S9+35. 5950 at 0435, algo talk VP,
not BS, something else? Probably V. of Tigray Revolution, Ethiopia.
7730 // 5850, UT Thu Nov 24 at 0703, WRMI with another Viva Miami mailbag
replay, both missing from sked grid; and no signal on 5950 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7504.88v, Nov 24 at 0414, WRNO is S9+25 to 45, YL spelling out Fort
Worth address in English, back to Chinese. Frequency keeps varying as I try to
measure it, as it always has since last reactivation months ago (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5830, Nov 24 at 0435, WTWW-1 is on with SFAW; 5085, WTWW-2 is on with
rock/country music, distorted. All WTWW frequencies had been off 7 hours
earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Shortly after 1400 UT November 24 on NBC-TV`s coverage of Macy`s
parade, we get to see Les Marshak introducing himself as the official announcer
of the event --- unlike 99.99% of today`s viewers, we remember him from WNYW
shortwave. He was host of `DXing Worldwide` from April 1968, and is mentioned 7
times in this:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN [non]. 9650, Nov 24 at 0451, S6 historical talk in French about Arab
world, mentioning Arabic names. Surely too early for Guinea; scheduled in HFCC
as Vatican Radio via Madagascar, tho missing from Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** ZAMBIA. 11680, Nov 24 at 0457, Voice of Hope Africa IS and IDs, ``From
Zambia to the world, this is the Voice of Hope, Africa`` good S9 signal and //
much weaker S4 non-direxional 9680. 11680 transmission break for about a
semiminute spanning 0459; 0500 sign-on with Simi Valley SCG HQ, 0501 praise
music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
