** CUBA. 13780-AM, Nov 26 at 1433, RHC is back in whack without
spewing all the FM spurlobs every 65 kHz as heard 24 hours earlier.
Something`s not wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5040, Nov 27 at 0107, RHC tropical is off again,
impossiblizing any Bautan leapfrogging over 5025 onto 5010, which is
fine with me: see MADAGASCAR [and non]. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6000, Nov 27 at 0108, here we go again, RHC English already
in this hour instead of waiting until *0200 as in Arnie`s original B-
18 skeds. 6165 is also on but dead air, ditto 0118. But at 0138, JBM
music perceptible on 6165 like much stronger 6000. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EAST TURKISTAN. 4500, 4850, 4980, 5060, Nov 27 at 0127, JBA carrier
quartet matching the Xinjiang PBS domestic services in four different
languages from Urumqi where the LSR was 0119. 4980 is the one for the
Uighurs who are being brainwashed en masse by the ChiCom (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ERITREA [and non]. 7180, Nov 26 at 1505, JBA carrier presumed
VOBME, stronger than 7120 presumed Somaliland, longpath INTRUDERS, but
7180 soon goes off and by 1507 LSB ham occupies.
7140, the other VOBME, even weaker JBA carrier at 1506, less than
7120. Of course it`s possible someham(s) could be messing around with
AM carriers (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA [and non]. 4810, Nov 27 at 0127, two very weak carriers
beating rather than one later which I take to be R. Logos, Perú; and
AIR Mumbai via Bhopal on air until 0215 per NDXC/Aoki altho WRTH 2018
calls it merely Bhopal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 5040, Nov 27 at 0123, JBA carrier in the absence of RHC.
What else can it be but AIR Kolkata via Jeypore? As listed by
Aoki/NDXC altho WRTH 2018 just calls it Jeypore. See also MADAGASCAR
[and non] 5010 AIR T`m (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, Nov 26 at 1459, Denge Welat via
PRIDNESTROVYE a very poor signal, but I listen on 1 kHz BFO offset, to
hear at 1500 a very smooth transition to FRANCE as per Ivo, not Aoki:
no break in carriers, but strength surges considerably without any
difference in pitch/frequency. Kurdish talk, ID heard in passing.
Mistimesignal is not so accurate, 3+1 pips, last one prolonged ending
at 1501:28! Twice as late as last time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF
RADIO 1958, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MADAGASCAR [and non]. 5009.930, Nov 26 at 0326, very poor carrier
but better than previous logs around 0200, presumed R. Madagasikara; I
thought this would be feasible, shortly after sunrise in the UT+3 zone
but gaisma.com says LSR in Antanarivo was 0203 UT. Anyhow it would not
be Cuba or India or WRMI. And the Mad signal could still be
propagating westward a sesquihour after sunrise (just like 5025 Cuba
can to here).
5009.997, Nov 27 at 0123, JBA carrier already, not Mad but AIR T`m,
INDIA as measured here by Bueschel; scheduled until 0215; its sunrise
was 0049. As 0200 approaches I keep listening carefully with BFO, and
at *0200:08 another slightly stronger carrier cuts on a slightly lower
frequency, now measured at 5009.941, which fits for the previous
Madagascar measurements very close to that (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF
RADIO 1958, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 9690, Monday November 26 at 2316, REE English good signal,
well-spoken YL announcer with news headlines; but from then on starts
fading way down; it seems they are always playing music at 2330 which
is simply faded out for timesignal and switch to French; while the
original English podcast may run on music several more minutes.
Nothing audible on the 25m frequencies now except possible carriers
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1957 monitoring: confirmed JBA
Sunday November 25 at 2145 the 2130 on WRMI 7780.
NOT confirmed at 2244 the Sunday 2230 on WRMI 9955, instead a
discussion of 4VEH Haiti. This is presumably `Impact Radio` as has
stayed on the websked, never showing WOR which was apparently a
temporary fill-in for several weeks (and at 2130 UT during DST).
Since stations don`t tell us anything about sked changes affecting
WOR, if anyone else hear WOR at an unexpected time, please inform me!
Confirmed UT Monday November 26 at 0230 on WRMI 5950, fair S8;
supposed to be // 9395 but that`s only a JBA carrier.
Confirmed UT Monday November 26 at 0401 on Area 51 webcast (following
something called ``Radio Legion`` claiming to be on 7415, a long-gone
WBCQ frequency), but a JBA carrier on WBCQ 5129.410 as measured a bit
earlier at 0324.
Confirmed UT Monday November 26 at 0430 on WRMI webcast; 9955 checked
at 0419 is a JBA carrier.
WORLD OF RADIO 1958 contents: Asia non, Brazil, China, Cuba, France,
Germany, Iran, Japan, Kurdistan non, Madagascar, Perú. Spain, Turkey,
USA, unidentified, equipmentips, publication, and the propagation
outlook
WOR 1958 ready just in time for first airing UT Tuesday November 27 at
0030 on WRMI 7730, good. Next airing UT Tuesday November 27 at 0200 on
WRMI 9955 cannot be confirmed on a JBA carrier, while the pulse
jamming earlier is no longer audible either, both faded out. BUT this
is confirmed on WRMI webcast. Next:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3215, UT Tuesday Nov 27 at 0107, no WWRB here nor on 3195
nor on 5050. It used to be active around this DOW and TOD. I`ve yet to
catch it on 90m this season tho others have reported it: only UT Sun &
Mon? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5130.48, UT Tue Nov 27 at 0120, this WBCQ is on with VP
signal, talkshow mentioning Mexican border, so apparently political,
which wing, guess? 0128 some music, 0132 announcement still
unreadable. Must be one of the new shows on 5130 AWWW mentioned with
no details. He refers us to the websked, but it`s not kept up to date:
http://wbcq.com/schedule/index.php?fn=sked&freq=5130
5130+ is axually stronger than some different talkshow on downfading
7490.19. So what was this on 5130+? Off the air at 0203 recheck. Sked
does show `GRITS Radio` on 5130 UT Monday 0000-0100, which is also
wrong as John Carver has just informed me at 0306 UT Monday November
26: ``Glenn, for what it's worth GRITS Radio has moved to UT Sunday
0100 on 5130. Heard them last night and they announced that this was
their new time. John Mid-North Indiana`` GRITS = Ghost Riders In The
Sky.
[Guess what, as I write this Nov 27 at 0430, KSFR`s `Beyond Borders`
webcast is playing a neat version of GRITS. Susan Ohori says it`s from
Vietnam on a traditional one-string instrument. BB is a great show,

UT Tuesdays 0400-0700] (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VIETNAM [non]. 7315, Nov 27 at 0136, VOV via WHRI in English!
instead of Spanish scheduled to alternate on the half-hours. This
happens every so often: Is Hanoi messing up direct feeds, or is LeSEA
mixing up playback files? I listen only briefly but learn something
new: VOV claims that Vietnam is the world`s #2 coffee exporter after
Brasil; did we know that? What about Colombia? Google sez:
``Searchable List of Coffee Exporting Countries
Rank Exporter 2017 Coffee Exports
1. Brazil US$4.6 billion
2. Vietnam $3.5 billion
3. Germany $2.64 billion
4. Colombia $2.58 billion
6 more rows • Oct 23, 2018``
O, that`s ranked in dollars, not beans or weight. But Germany?? Surely
what they export is grown in more tropical areas, ex-colonies? Check
your ever-shrinking coffee can, whether it admit to be Vietnamese
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7850-USB, Nov 26 at 0329, I habitually start my 7 MHz
band downscan at CHU, but instead of it I am hearing INTRUDERS, 2-way
in Spanish, maybe truckers, mentioning camión. Never heard any such
QRM to CHU before. More and more it loses out to plunging MUF, but
there`s always 3330-CUSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
