** CHINA. Firedrake [non] CNR1 jamming:

9315, Nov 17 at 1452, very poor: this is against VOA Tibetan via Thailand, unheard. Then compared to others:

9450, Nov 17 at 1453, VG signal, which is a few words behind 9315. Target on 9450 is 100 kW Sound of Hope from Taiwan.

9605, Nov 17 at 1453, good signal is // and synchro with 9315. Victim here is VOA Chinese via Philippines.

9825, Nov 17 at 1454, very good is synchro with 9450. Target here is also VOA Chinese via Tinang (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GREECE. 9420, Nov 17 at 0637, pop music, maybe in English, fair signal from Avlis --- so no Sunday morning Byzantine chant this week (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDIA [non]. 15755, Nov 17 at 1400, surprised to hear sermon in English, very poor signal, but then consecutive translations to S Asian language. Aoki shows it`s ``TWR India`` via UZBEKISTAN, supposedly only in Hindi. The exact hours between 1315 and 1430 shift depending on day of week in order to incorporate three minority languages, but on Sundays ``Hindi`` occupies the entire span (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TAIWAN [non]. 11990, Sunday Nov 17 at 1330 and further chex in the hour such as at 1412, absolutely zero signal from PCJ Radio on its new frequency via SRI LANKA, nor on previous 11835. That`s because as I learned later once the computer was on, there was another last-minute change, to 9705! If you want to get the word out to the DX community at large, you`d better not start with Facebook. 

Pedro Sedano certainly couldn`t know in time to mention it on RHC `En Contacto` at 1438 on 15340 where he said that 11990 was the new frequency, 125 kW via EKALA, Sundays at 1330-1430. Wasn`t Ekala closed down completely at midyear? All the previous PCJ frequencies have been specified as Trincomalee.

That was Pedro`s monthly DX news segment. He also had outdated info about Solomon Islands resuming ``9545``, which apparently was only briefly, before changing to 6080 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1695 monitoring: confirmed on WTWW-1, 5830, from 0501:33 UT Sunday Nov 17. Next: Tuesday 1200 on WRMI 9955, Thursday 0430 too unless new 1696 be ready in time; Wednesday 0730 & 1530 on HLR 7265-CUSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1200, Sunday Nov 17 at 1322 UT, `cello playing classical piece accompanied by organ much in the background, no announcement IDing the music, then into full organ & choir, ``Praise God from whom all blessing flow``. Initially VG signal fades out by 1330. The only way most commercial stations will ever play ---ugh!--- classical music is if it is part of a paid church broadcast. WOAI schedule shows First Presbyterian Church Sundays at 7-8 am CST (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report dispatched at 1608 UT November 17
