woke up already at 0650 UT this morning.
On 11725 kHz noted some overlapping two signals of both R NZi and Vatican
Radio special in French, live coverage of Pope's journey to Nairobi Kenya
Africa, at 0724 to 0758 UT slot.
NEW ZEALAND/VATICAN STATE 11724.984 kHz odd frequency from R NZi
Rangitaiki-NZ site, English sce at 0724 UT on Nov 27. Talk on PNG matter.
But at 07.24:05 UT started/appeared another station on that channel, with
flute mx and French sce annmt at 0730 UT, live coverage on Vatican Radio
special service on Pope's journey to Kenya. R NZi scheduled 0459-0758 UT.
VR French was S=8 here in southern Germany. But propperly S=9+25dB signal
noted on Moscow Russia SDR post.
\\ VR special in Bras-accented Portuguese presenter from Kenya on 17590 kHz,
S=9+5dB signal here in Germany, S=9+25dB logged on SDR unit in Moscow
Russia. VR presenter also announced many Portuguese radio stations
worldwide, who relay this Vatican Radio sce, like for example via R?dio
Aparecida Brazil radio service.
\\ 21550 kHz VR special in English, NIL signal - only threshold string of
S=1-2 in European/Germany signal skip zone, but S=9+30dB signal heard in
Moscow Russia, some 2500 kms distance away from Rome.
GREECE 9420.004 Voice of Greece ERT Avlis played Greek folk mx at 0655 UT
Nov 27, at 0700 station identification " Helliniki ... or something like.
CUBA [tentat.] 9330.004 Spanish number reading lady from Bejucal? site?
At 0703 UT, joined the remote SDR reception net unit at NJ/NY-US,
S=9+10dB in NY area. Heard Spanish numbers '48864' or '17471' strings.
KOREA D.P.R. 9444.986 odd frequency from Kujang-KRE site, surprisingly odd
frequency of VoKOR English sce at 0712 UT on Nov 27. Probably deep icing
winter temperature in Korea, hit the main power net, maybe electric voltage
is unstable, or icing on the curtain antennas? S=7 in remote NJ-US target.
Despite domestic KCBS Korean sce from Kanggye site is on
exact even 9665.0 kHz at 0720 UT Nov 27.

INDONESIA, 3905.0 kHz, RRI Merauke, 12:12 - 12:30, man and woman alternating in
Indonesian. Just before 12:17, mention of 'Radio Republic Indonesia.' For
rest of the time, brief musical pieces with talk between. Fair signal with
some ham QRM, occasional strong het from a ham tuning up on the frequency;
largely covered by ham QRM at 12:30. Best signal so far this year, despite (or
because of?) the geomagnetic K-index having jumped a bit overnight. (Delibert,

** FRANCE. 9675, Wed Nov 25 at 0642, [date correct: overlooked in previous
report] RFI English is fair, with a trace of CCI, presumably China since this
is not its Tuesday siesta; unusual now for this sole RFI English hour direct to
be audible at all. 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?
Mon 0400v WBCQ 5110v-CUSB Area 51 to WSW
Mon 0430 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Tue 1200 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Wed 1415.5 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Wed 2200 WBCQ 7490v to WSW
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5109.70-CUSB, Nov 26 at 2232, checking out the Pirate Joe
Thanksgiving special that Larry Will notified us about on WBCQ, ``Lonesome
Traveler`` song. 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. OG&E Systemwatch shows growing power outages in the
Enid area but not yet Enid itself:

** CUBA. 17730, Nov 27 at 2247, RHC French is suptorted --- suppressed and
distorted modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 9900, Nov 27 at 2143, fair signal from R. Cairo transmitting dead
air in English. Still so at 2243 as the English sesquihour toward Europe and
North America should be closing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15580, Nov 27 at 2132, VOA with VG strength, obviously Greenville,
when I want to hear `Music Time in Africa` at the Friday 2100 time unknown to
Heather, but modulation is quite distorted and carrier wobbling slightly. 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

** 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. Next:
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?
Mon 0400v WBCQ 5110v-CUSB Area 51 to WSW
Mon 0430 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Tue 1200 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Wed 1415.5 WRMI 9955 to SSE
Wed 2200 WBCQ 7490v to WSW

** U S A. 9955, Nov 27 at 2303, WRMI with ``Can-can`` music, introducing a
`Happy Station` occupying this PCJ Friday hour, Keith Perron about his visit to
Paris during a European tour; 2337 playing ``Bolero``. I gather this was
produced well before the latest incidents, a happier time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** 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

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)
