 DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS update Nov 29: http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html
** CANADA. 2598 USB, Nov 30 at 0058, RoboYL with Environment Canada marine weather, times Atlantic, S9 direct. DXinfocentre.com shows the last station to start in rotation was VCP4, Placentia, Newfoundland, at 0048, 3 kW. The next would be VCM, St Anthony (Labrador) at 0107 with 600 watts. 2749 USB, Nov 30 at 0059, slightly weaker but still S9 peaks in French: that would be VCO, Sydney NS, from 0040 with 550 watts, to be followed by 0140 by VAR-9 Yarmouth (Halifax), 1200 watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. 17645-17650-17655 & 17765-17770-17775, Nov 30 at 0109, DRM noises at S9+10/20 direct. EiBi shows CNR1 Digital, at 01-06 on 17650 from site k=Kunming; and 01-09 on 17770 from site d=Dongfang, Hainan. There are plenty of JBA AM carriers on band with Doppler flutter, but nothing on higher bands (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11760, Nov 30 at 0115, S9/+15 of deadair; no sigs on 13 or 15 MHz; and 6000, Nov 30 at 0125, S9+20/30 of deadair, from RHC, where something`s always wrong (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 21660, Nov 29 at 1510 tune-in, MiniTransAt with music S5/S7 direct, so one or two sailors must still be asea on way to Guadeloupe and in need of windfo at 1500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6927 AM, an even weaker JBA signal than 6933.5, maybe another pirate on a Friday night, 0125 UT Sat Nov 29. Nothing lately in HFU tho Liquid Radio was on 6925 an hour earlier. Hardly ever do I hear a pirate well enough to enjoy the music, much less try to ID it, so I`m glad to leave that to others. {correcting and completing item in previous report} (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6965 USB, Nov 30 at 0123, S9+10/20 direct of Bluegrass; 0139 & 0146 brief `Wolverine Radio` IDs. Only pirate audible on band and this one *is* strong enough to enjoy the music, which I don`t recognize and is not identified; off around 0155*. Must have a considerable transmitter. Is it really in Michigan as implied? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SWITZERLAND [non]. 3955, Sat Nov 29 at 2200+, a monthly C.M. Obrecht music hour via Channel 292, VG S9/+15 into UTwente, nice classical/seasonal music rather than electronic stuff. Immediately followed by Pop Shop Radio at 2300 starting with 4-note O Ca-na-da sounder (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TIBET. 4920, Nov 30 at 0057, JBA carrier direct. Both EiBi & Aoki show nothing but Xizang RTV, Lhasa, for almost 21 hpd except the couple hours in English at 07 & 16. I was also getting a JBAC on 5060 no doubt from Xinjiang. Oh oh, 4920 could be 3 x 1640 my local KZLS - but I don`t get even a 2x harmonic from it on 3280 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960, Sat Nov 29 at 2302, no signal from VOT into UTwente; algo JBA on 9610.000, surely something else achieving such exactitude. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2323 monitoring: confirmed UT Saturday November 29 at 0530 on Voice Corps, Columbus OH webcast. I happen to awaken at 0930 UT Saturday November 29, so check WRMI for WOR: indeed not on 9455 as still on their skedgrid, but on 7570, S9+30. Any others? I hear JBA talk on 7730, but finally decide it`s not me. Confirmed Saturday November 29 at 1552 the 1530 on SW Radio Gold, Germany, 6160.001+, S9/+10 into UTwente with usual ACI from stronger China 6165 S9+15/20; but in the clear on 3975.002+, S9/+10. Also confirmed Saturday November 29 at 1630 on WRMI 9955, S9+20/25 into Georgia SDR. Also confirmed Saturday November 29 at 1700 on WRN via WRMI, 7730, S7/S8, and 9395, S9+15/30 into Georgia SDR. Also confirmed Saturday November 29 at 1830 on SW Radio Gold, Germany, 3975.003-, S9/+10 into UTwente. Also confirmed Saturday November 29 at 2030 on WRN via WRMI 9395, S9+10/30 into Georgia SDR. Not confirmed Sat Nov 29 at 2030v on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO: not enough signal into the usual remotes to detect me at various chex 2025/2110, but probably on. Confirmed Saturday November 29 at 2200 on WRMI 9395, S9+30 into Georgia SDR. This one is not from WRN feed. Confirmed Saturday November 29 at 2237 the 2230s on WRMI 15770, S7/9+10 into Maryland SDR, but 17790 is only JBA S4/S6. Confirmed Saturday November 29 at 2237 on WRMI 17790, S7/9+10 into Brasila SDR. At 0000 UT November 30, George McClintock advises me that the 5085 WTWW transmitter can get back on air already, and will try to get WOR 2323 on air not tonight, but UT Monday at 0400. At 0130 check, 5085 is VG direct with JBA parasitic spurs +/- 12.8 kHz.

As a noncommercial public service program, financial support appreciated. Thanks this week to Gilles Letourneau, Québec for a contribution via PayPal not necessarily in US funds to: woradio at yahoo.com One may also contribute by MO or check on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5850, UT Sunday Nov 30 at 0300 I`m monitoring this WRMI which per FB and website, started a new show last week at 0300-0530 UT Sundays, `Dead Air Radio Crypt` - and there it is after RNEI and RRR CW and SSTV being sent before 0300. But these hours are not accounted for on the skedgrid beyond System E mostly WRN (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 4840, UT Sunday Nov 30 at 0126, `Wavescan` for Nov 30 is already starting early on WWCR instead of 0130 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 397, 402, 419 kHz, Nov 29 at 0656/0659 UT, JBA MCW carriers where I don`t normally detect any ND beacons. RNA list shows possibilities, in order of proximity, in each case only 3 in all of North America: 397: JE JEfferson City MO, SB San Bernardino CA, OW nOrWood MA. 402: CV Carlsbad NM, L4 Nipawin SK, MQ MiQuelon 419: GB Great Bend KS, RYS Detroit MI, TX Lawrenceville GA All of these have been reported this year, mostly this month (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, Nov 29, since I am unfortunately awake at 0758, I hasten to tune to R. Vanuatu, with BFO just in time to hear it cut off. In the few sex it takes me to retune to 5040, a similar JBA signal is there, tho I can`t say for sure that it just came on. This matches Ron Howard`s observation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. TA JBA MW carrier search, Nov 30 at 0100 UT: 711 which could be Cuba instead of Western Sahara, and JJBBA on 855, still Spain at reduced power? and 1098, UKOGBANI? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0344 UT November 30
