Shux, but we`ll see if permanent or not. 9700 did clash with Turkey at 0400-0700 but RHC usually well atop here. 6165 is still on with dead air of S9+20/30 at 0729.

UTwente still receiving at 2220 when it`s putting out amid the hash, electronic tones of seemingly random pitch and length, perhaps an artifact of trying to synch on the non-signal? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 15285.070V, Dec 13 at 1615, S3-S5 of talk, the frequency audibly wavering. It`s Issoudun with R. Manara International in Hausa. Previously measured during same hour Nov 27 at 15285.052. See also SAO TOME (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAO TOME E PRINCIPE. 15460.071, Dec 13 at 1613, S4-S6 of talk, VOA Pinheira in Kinyarwanda scheduled, typical offfrequenciness here; I bet the earlier ``15460`` VOA hours via Vatican, Botswana be a lot closer. Previously measured during same hour Nov 27 at 15460.070, within margin of error. See also FRANCE (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Mon Dec 13 at 2311, REE`s token English after the news, presents the full speech of Nobel Peace Prize winner from the Philippines, Maria Ressa, an excellent advocate for Freedom of the Press. Unfortunately, REE is going into deeper and deeper fades into the local high Xmas noise level and I give up about halfway through. Quick check of the other three frequencies finds zero signals on 11670, 11940, 12030, not propagating and/or not on the air. Her speech should be available somewhere, eventually in REE archive (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 13565 CW, Dec 13 at 1610, HIFER beacon K6FRC, Patterson CA, is JBA then increasing to BA; latest in day yet logged but always in the mornings (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2116 monitoring: not confirmed Sunday December 12 at 2100 on AM Italia, 918 kHz, still running the Marconi anniversary special loop, as heard via Noale SDR. Confirmed Sunday December 12 at 2352 the 2330 on WRMI 5950 but JBA to Bonaire, and 9955 at S9+5. Then to Missouri SDR, 5950 is S8+35/25 and 9955 S6-S9. At Bonaire, NO signal on 4980, should be audible if propagating, since 5010 WRMI is there. No 4980 either to Missouri. Another example of self-contradictory WRMI skedgrid info: System L shows 5950 only but transmitter sked atop shows System L also applies to 4980 at 23-24. Apparently 4980 at 23-24 is really M-F only during APS Radio program. WOR did appear once on 4980, Fri Dec 3 at 2330 before APS launched. Now that broadcast is on neither. Also confirmed UT Monday December 13 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, S5-S7 into Missouri vs hi noise level, but improved to S9+10/25 at 0047. Also confirmed UT Monday December 13 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9+5/S7 to Missouri; but at 0138 NO signal direct. Also confirmed UT Mon Dec 13 at 0230 on WRN North America webcast. Also confirmed UT Mon Dec 13 at 0400 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6160-, carrier minus 45 Hz = 6159.955 to Knoxville SDR, JBA to S2-S4 -- as RHC has moved back to 6165 from 9700 just in time to resume QRMing us with much stronger signal, no better but carrier offset shows minus 52 Hz = 6159.948. Next: 2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed?] 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW, 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support.
