** CANADA. 340-MCW kHz, Dec 1 at 0137 UT, dash and YY, 500-watt ND
beacon at Mont-Joli, Québec; louder than my 25?-watt local EI on 341.
Mont Joli is not even in closest QC but way up on the Gaspé Peninsula,
right bank of the St-Laurent, 2761 km = 1715 statute miles. Not much
else from Canada audible now (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6950, Nov 30 at 1500, RHC again on wrong-punch frequency,
nothing on 9650; S7-S9, also with het from an open carrier on 6948.0,
pirate jamming? 6950 still at 1538 but no 6948. Something`s always
wrong at RHC. 6950 had also happened again the morning of Nov 29 at
1330, reported by Chris Smolinski; and by Ivo Ivanov at 1350 with a
Boca Ratón SDR. Ivo also Nov 30 after 1200; and by Wolfgang Büschel at
1243 via a Rochester NY SDR where it was 4 Hz high. Would it rerepeat
the evening of Nov 30? No, not heard around 0115 UT December 1. If
neither frequency be heard, could be another lysdexic sloppyrator
mixup, possibilities: 6590, 5690, 5960, 6059, 6095, 9560, 9605, 9506,
9065, 9056, 0569, 0659, 0695, 0956, 0965 --- did I miss any? Etc.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Dec 1 at 0112, RHC English is S7/S9+10 but suptorted
and JBM; only possible // 9700 is JBA, maybe RHC too. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 4980, Dec 1 at 0156, JBA carrier; could WRMI-4 be
back ex-silent 11710? Quick way to find out is checking the other
three 60m frequencies of PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi`s four language services
which always arrive as a group, and there they are, also JBACs: 5060,
4850, 4500. I was thinking it a bit late to propagate, but not,
especially in winter, with LSR at 0124. That`s 9:24! local time, as
the Beijing Han imperialists force all of China to go by UT+8, even
the west which ought to be UT+6 by longitude; amounts to double-DST
yearound. But that`s the least of Uyghur problems, facing cultural
genocide and brainwashing to wipe out Islam (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Re my obs of K17JN-D Enid changes, Trip Ericson
replies: ``Good morning, Thanks. I've updated K17JN-D accordingly on
RabbitEars. I'd never heard of QVTV either, but I think I tracked it
down.

The way it's supposed to work is that any program that has captions
are supposed to be passed through. Local programming for small enough
stations, or networks under a certain size who produce their own
programming and would have to pay to have that specific programming
captioned, are exempt. There's more to it than that, but I'm not
familiar with the ins and outs. Have a great one, and stay safe. -
Trip`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 684, Dec 1 at 0140, strongest of JBA carriers, enough for
some audio in Castilian, then jazz, and // 774, i.e. RNE1 network,
Sevilla, and on the upper, Valencia strongest among synchros (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 475v-MCW kHz, Dec 1 at 0120 UT, WA4SZE/BEACON in very slow
CW, as we are amid another sporadic spurt of activity. Easy copy as
seems quite stronger than your MW/LW aerobeacons. It`s at WWRB / ATC
airstrip in Manchester, TN, a plaything of Dave Frantz on the
so-called 630-meter hamband (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2062 monitoring: confirmed Monday
November 30 from 1900:43 on IRRS 7290 Bulgaria, S9+5/15 via UTwente.
Prelude: *1856:10 open carrier on; 1859:53 IRRS ID with Milano Box,
1900:15 FSN headlines, then WOR. Usual rough modulation but intact
past 1915, less splash than usual as no signal on 7295 from CRI, but
still plenty from 7280 Vietnam despite 10 kHz away, especially when
musicking. Best in SynchAM at 5.59 kHz bandwidth but VOV ACI
inevitable. It`s S9+20 as I continue impressed by their signal into W
Europe direct from Hanoi, 100 kW over an all-overland Eurasian path.

As for no 7295, HFCC shows that as 500 kW due west from Urumqi, CRI
English at 1900-2000. Maybe it`s one of the transmitters off for
maintenance until December 10, as they had notified German service
listeners about other frequencies. Urumqi = East Turkistan, land of
Chicom imperialist cultural genocide and brainwashing of imprisoned
Uyghurs.

WOR 2062 also confirmed UT Tuesday December 1 at 0100 on WRMI 7780,
S9+10 into UTwente, but VP S7-S8 here.

NOT confirmed UT Tue Dec 1 at 0200 on WRMI 9955, too poor to be sure
here, but via Pardinho Brasil SDR, it`s a gospel huxter in English.
WOR was unexpectedly added to sked grid at this time only a few weeks
ago and still shows there; easy go, easy come.

Also confirmed UT Tue Dec 1 at 0330 on WRMI 5800, VG S9/+15 to Bonaire
SDR. Next:

2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
2300 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 to SSE

ROCV could be back; but nothing there when I get around to checking
Bonaire SDR at 0320 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer survey, Nov 29 from 2316, mostly weak Chinese
language: 6865 S6-S7; 6850 S7-S9; 7810 S7-S8; 9180; 9200; 9215 to
2325. I also tuned the entire 8 MHz band, but not the 7 MHz band where
there might be non-jammer Chinese. All these check out in Aoki/NDXC as
CNR1 jammer channels against Sound of Hope (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA? 4940, Nov 30 at 0344 check, anonymous mystery missionary
station just now at this odd time commencing another regular feature,
`Lecciones de la Historia`, good S9 into Bonaire SDR (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** JAPAN [non]. 6185, Nov 30 at 0439, NHK Warudo Radio Japan news in
English atop fast SAH from poor XEPPM which is always offset-minus,
but hardly any of its modulation penetrating. NHK relay via AUSTRIA as
tipped by Ivo Ivanov, has just moved here from 6155 for the M-F 0430
and S/S 0500 English semihour, ND 300 kW for W Europe but which would
reach us sufficiently if on a clear frequency, but NHK does not want
us North Americans as an audience. XEPPM is only 1 kW? Also blocked at
earlier 0420 check with AWR in Turkish altho supposedly toward Turkey.
Meanwhile I hear nothing on 6155; surely they did not move to avoid
6159.9v WBCQ over there (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6770, Nov 29 at 2318, JBA talk, S6-S7, presumed the
Old Time Radio pirate -- not heard in ages despite occasional chex
this far below the main pirate band. Tnx to new tip today:

``[WOR] Old Time Radio (pirate) 6770 AM 1348 UTC 29 Nov 2020 --- Not a
bad signal this morning, SIO 333 to peaks of 444.

Chris Smolinski, Black Cat Systems, Westminster, MD USA`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Circa 9 MHz as I am bandscanning, Nov 29 at 2324 wideband
RF noise burst for a few seconds as my nearest streetlight is
igniting, confirmed by peeking out the window. Fortunately the noise
abates once it`s fully bright, not adding to the high line noise level
continuing. LSS today 2317 UT with clear sky at western horizon, so it
sets off +7 minutes later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 8501-USB, Nov 29 at 2323, marine weather e.g. for 45N/78W
location, robom overmodulated distorted on S9+25 peak signal. EiBi
shows NMG USCG New Orleans at 2315-2350 on 8502. Pretty sure I read
frequency correctly, so? If they would just back off the modulation
level. Very poor image for the USCG as anyham would do better with her
SSB rig (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2062 monitoring: confirmed UT
Monday November 30 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, good to the ATS-909 portable
but some deep fades.

Also confirmed UT Mon Nov 30 at 0130 & 0230 on WRMI 7780, VG S9+15 to
UTwente.

Also confirmed UT Mon Nov 30 at 0230 on WRMI 5800, S9+15/20 to Bonaire
SDR. Also almost synchro on WRN webcast.

Also confirmed UT Mon Nov 30 from 0401:06 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6159.9,
G S9+15 to Warrenton MO SDR after finding zero signals to Rochester &
Alexandria, too close for skip. At 0355, before he gotta go, JL was
doing a parody commercial about semen as a treatment for COVID, rather
poor taste. At 0418 I found 6159.9 direct VP S7-S8.

Also confirmed UT Mon Nov 30 after 0430 on WRMI 9955, under Cuban
pulse jamming at 0444, while earlier during Prague at 0419 it was

Lúcio Otávio Bobrówiec to the WOR iogroup:

4925, Unid. (much probably R. Educação Rural, Brasil Tefé, AM) 26/11,
0000–0052 relaying R. Bandeirantes de São Paulo, which was covering a
footbal soccer match (Corinthians X Curitiba). Poor, best signal at
0045; around 0052 abrupt sign off (LOB).

4925, Unid. (much probably R. Educação Rural, Brasil Tefé, AM) 28/11,
2340–2350 music, male talks. Very poor, slight improvement over time
https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/bUCJ

4925, Unid. (much probably R. Educação Rural, Brasil Tefé, AM) 29/11,
0034–0042 female talks, short music, male talks, slow pop music. Very
poor, some improvement over listening (LOB).
https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/zmoa

4925, Unid. (much probably R. Educação Rural, Brasil Tefé, AM) 29/11,
0059–0104 female talks, music. Trying to catch a ToH ID but
deteriorated significantly (LOB).

It is worth mentioning that some het was heard at a certain time that
I did not register on 4925 listenings (LOB). Tecsun PL310et, Wire 14m,
dipole 18m, Embu SP Brasil`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 218-MCW kHz, Nov 29 at 0640 UT, dash and RL, 980-watt ND
beacon from Red Lake, Ontario. Tuning upward, the first one heard.
BTW, I *never* hear even a JBA carrier on Euro LWBC frequencies. Of
course, would have a better chance earlier from before sunset.

223-MCW kHz, Nov 29 at 0641 UT, dash and YYW, 1000 watts from
Armstrong, Ontario. BTW, dxinfocentre.com notes that the other
Canadian on 223, YKA, 500 watts in Kamloops BC is ``to be
decommissioned 2021-02-25`` among 18 others on the list --- so hurry
up and DX them.

335-MCW kHz, Nov 29 at 0652, dash and YLD, 500-watt NDB from Chapleau,
Ontario, not on the de-com list. BTW, the dashes only from Canadians
make the correct frequency clear, while the Americans may be best
audible 1, 2 or even 3 kHz displaced (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS. 11550, Nov 29 at 1554, Korean, the first
voice sounding synthetic; RFA via SAIPAN at 1500-1900. Unseems
off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 245-MCW kHz, Nov 29 at 0643, NDB HS, but no such call listed
--- presumably really FS, Sioux Falls - Rock SD, commonly heard 400
watts, and either miskeyed with a dot instead of a dash, or misheard.

257-MCW kHz, Nov 29 at 0650 UT, NDB JYR, which is 25 watts at York,
Nebraska, Eclipse Central.

338-MCW kHz, Nov 29 at 0653 UT, NDB UMP, which is 25 watts at
Indianapolis - Metropolitan, Indiana; also some unreadable CCI as I
was tuned to 337-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 475-MCW kHz, Nov 29 at 0715, WWW marker from WA4SZE, the
very slow Morse code beacon in Manchester TN operated by Dave Frantz

** U S A. Reply from Texas Radio Shortwave to my latest log:

``Ahoy Glenn - Alas TRSW may have to drop its pirate theme now that
we've gone (sorta) mainstream. We guess that Cap'n Ric and the rest of
Crew will just drift off (pirate humor!) and not be heard from again.

With the very limited number of listeners to US pirate stations
compared to those of international broadcasters like Channel 292,
WRMI, and WBCQ, we've learned where our carefully collated music is
most appreciated. Like international broadcasters, we want listeners
not just QSL collectors. Cap'n Ric can't recall the number of times he
heard Ian McFarland, Jonathan Marks, Jeff White, and others say this
at ANARC conferences and on the air. Now he knows what they meant.

Thanks for your report of our anniversary broadcast via WRMI. It's
correct so here's your eQSL. You didn't report on our broadcast a year
ago so you may be interested to know that the small image is the
original eQSL we sent out.

We look forward to hearing from you when we broadcast our
pre-Christmas and Christmas music programs via Channel 292, WRMI, and
WBCQ. We appreciate any publicity you can give to those shows as we
get closer to the dates.

73 and Arrgghh. Always be yourself. Unless you can be a pirate. Then
always be a pirate.

** AUSTRALIA [non]. `Calling All Radio Nutz`, I monitor on and off for
the first time via the Unique Radio stream, as it has just been
rescheduled for 20-22 biweekly UT Saturdays.
http://uk4-vn.mixstream.net:8104/listen.pls

From 2035 UT Nov 28, tune-in to VP off-the-air DX recording of
something in Indonesian, then hi-fi music. 2041 back-announcement, has
been a band from Benin called Orchestra; the preceding DX tapes were
R. CANDIP, Zaire, 5066 from 1983y; UAE Radio, Abu Dhabi when it was on
11m, 25900; RRI Jakarta, 9680 from 1982? Is it still active? One
co-host asks, No, replies the other who used to get it regularly in
Denver. The latter is ``Jen, Radio Nutress`` --- does that mean they
identify as female? Voice is ambiguous, soft-spoken and sometimes
overridden by noise, such as someone unexpectedly on the roof
installing an AC.

CARN is an extremely informal live show. 2053 an off-air recording of
something in German. Recheck at 2124, the conversant in UK, called
G.B.? or Mike? is giving some DX news, Inconfidência on 15190, Brasil
DRM on 11880, Tumbril on 6070. 2126 into live bandscanning, comparing
what they are hearing on same frequencies in widely divergent
locations, such as 6000, 5995 Mali; 6050 - HCJB? mixing with
something, Chinese, also ELWA? I think it`s a bit early for Ecuador.
2149 more vintage clips, Reloj de Costa Rica, I guess on 6006,
something from Iceland. Meanwhile I also find:

Unique Radio has resumed streaming and changed times for WOR, also
showing expected SW frequencies when they resume from new location:

** OKLAHOMA. RF 21, Nov 28 at 1936 UT, I`m surprised to see some DTV
area tropo enhancement still in vigour in the afternoon, as four hours
earlier it wasn`t quite enough to decode KUOT-CD, OKC, but now it is:
same PSIP as KUOT on all subchannels:

** U S A. After an hour of napping along with KUCO`s anonymous
post-opera birthday vocal music show, I tune on the same portable
DX-398 with telescopic only to what I know will be a bigsig aimed
right at us from Okeechobee:

7570, Sat Nov 28 from 2300, WRMI with the publicized anniversary
replay of the inaugural broadcast of Texas Radio Shortwave. I hope for
the special eQSL repeatedly offered for detailed reports. Opens with a
song by Floyd Domino, `You Can`t Get The Hell Out of Texas`. Frequent
Turkey-gobble-gobble SFX, for this was originally a TG show, now a
biday late. 2304 plug gmail address and frequently, mostly by Third
Mate Susan roboyl; and ``all the music was carefully selected and
mixed by DJ Mr. Turkey``.

Most of the songs to follow are unfamiliar to me, titles and
performers not announced, so I may only give vague descriptions of
some, I would say lots of novelty tunes, and I do not shazaam. 2305
hard rock about America; 2312 it`s S9+20/35, as I start DXing with my
right ear on the big rig, continuing this into my left ear. 2315
gobbler and segué; 2320 song includes some talking; 2323 ID by M&W
voices, Mr Turkey DJ credit again. 2325 song about Mexican farmers,
mentions several XE cities or states. 2328 QSL offer again; 2331
another ID and Happy TG. 2343 ID & Mr. Turkey, blues tune. 2352 gobble
only. 2356 a song I do recognize, `Great Pretender`. 2358 closing with
address, ``Happy Thanxgiving`` five times. Just a bit of `TROT`
alla-marcia theme, was a ``look-back at our inaugural broadcast``.
Susan concludes, ``Until next time, keep the wind at your back.``

Two or three times during this hour I also scanned the 6.9 MHz pirate
band, but no sign of Radio Ga-Ga which was also going to air this
special, which it was first to broadcast a year ago. Maybe it was
during previous hour. No other pirates heard either. Altho TRSW is
still a pirate of non-public provenance, now that it`s appearing on
non-pirate stations, pirate specialists seem to have lost interest in
it. 0000 WRMI switches 7570 to ``He Leadeth Me`` morphing into the
moanin` & groanin` hour of TOMBS: add to that: howlin` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 3215, Sat Nov 28 at 2324, WWRB is on with S9+20/30 of dead
air; recheck at 2332 now a gospel huxter about going to hell (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (5085), UT Sun Nov 29 about 0130 WTWW-2 with `Theater Organ
Under the Arch` in progress, so I listen on the $ tereo webcast altho
some of the recordings are rather lo-fi; ends at 0154 so WTWW can get
back to inorganic ``Surfin` USA`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0307 UT November 29

** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 6230-USB, Nov 28 at 1352, coastal marine
weather info, obsessed with wind direxions and gusting speeds in
knots, S6; 1354, ``end of transmission from VMW``, i.e. Wiluna,
Western Australia, which is far inland in central WA, hardly a marine
town, rather a gold-mining town: ``Wiluna is a small town in the Mid
West region of Western Australia. It is situated on the edge of the
Western Desert at the gateway to the Canning Stock Route and Gunbarrel
Highway. Wikipedia``. But the VMW site was obviously chosen as at a
suitable skip distance from the coasts. EiBi shows hours as 10-23; but
also on 6230, Sound of Hope and CNR1/Firedrake jamming up to 24 hours.
When VMW goes off I do detect a JBA carrier, fortunately nothing more,
but that CCI should be a much greater hazard around Oz (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. More replies on the WOR iog about the DRM tests from RNA:

Re: [WOR] Brazil DRM tests Nov 28 at 6:04 PM

``Earlier in the week I noted the signal cutting in and out but — par
for the course — with a strong carrier on 11800 {sic - means 11880?}
from (p) Cuba, so nothing decoded and the analog signal from Cuba was
also subsumed in the DRM hash — meaning that at least in Michigan both
signals were worthless.

All this just proves DRM is a poor ‘solution’ to the noise of long
distance SWBC and as a ‘double whammy’ is rather ‘fragile’ too,
collapsing into unusable/undecodable noise in the presence of any
QRM.

One wonders if anyone involved in the design of the system actually
ever listened to SWBC or tried to receive DRM under ‘normal’
double-hop SW conditions? For some reason they seem to think QAM-64
(in whatever mode) is appropriate for SW despite the fact it isn’t.

In the great green room there was a telephone. And a radio. There
should always be a radio. ;) Ken Zichi``

``Yes, boring 'playground' since 2002 year of Fraunhofer software
appeared here in Europe, the BrasTelecom technicians play in front of
the christmas tree like out of b o r e d o m. Another event, once
more, in the never-ending story of this deadborn decode / encode radio
option product. Others attend very expensive conventions in luxury
hotels around the world every year.

It's a test only; nothing on air at 0830 UT Nov 28, grayline Ireland,
Azores, Brasília central Brazil. Technically it was an exciting
innovation in 2002 to 2008 year era, once. For digital DRM tests one
should occupy a frequency in the border range for example 11.5 to 11.6
MHz.

Around the Cuban RHC La Habana external service on 11880 kHz for
Central and mainly South Africa badly extensive to interfere
with a 17 kHz wide broadband digital signal. Thanks Rudolf from São
Paulo for his informative mail recently. 73 wolfie df5sx

** CANADA. 413-MCW kHz, Nov 28 at 0719 UT, dash and YHD, 250-watt ND
beacon at Dryden, Ontario.

401-MCW kHz, Nov 28 at 0721 UT, dash and YPO, 500-watt NDB at
Peawanuck, Ontario; also audible tuned to 400-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 13635 & 13766 approx., Nov 28 at 1438, S9/+10 FM spurblobs
with F# tone from 13700-AM RHC, much stronger than 2nd-orders circa
13570 & 13831, approx. 65.5 kHz intervals. 13700 itself S9+10 has SAH
at fades, i.e. new CCI from Brother HyStairical via BULGARIA: see
SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** ERITREA [non]. 17545, Sat Nov 28 at *1530:39, cuts on with talk
already underway from Biato Yiakl scheduled Sat only via FRANCE, VP
S8-S9. Note my previous unID report of Wed Nov 25, something here at
same time but +.06 kHz off-frequency; I did not notice this one being
askew but not directly measured; I was waiting for it to turn on
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Nov 28 at 1545 UT I bandscan DTV as there is slight tropo
enhancement around here, showing BAD signals on 31, 22 and 21, but
more noticeable, my only local on RF17 has been reconfigured, no
longer showing virtual 41, KCYH-LD which is really in Ardmore, 256 km
= 159 stmi away. No longer alternating vacant channels, and no longer
three audio-only - the only DTV station I have seen ever doing that.
So no more ``Radio 74`` as on 89.3 Loyal. Here`s the new lineup with
PSIP IDs, note upper/lower cases:

17-1 K17JN-D - 3ABN bug in LR
17-2 QuoVida - QVtv bug in UR [never heard of this one before]
17-3 SmrtLfS - Smart Life Style / Television bug LR - no sound
on
Sanyo TV [``unsupported audio codec], OK via STB
17-4 HopeCh1 - Hope Channel bug UR - uplifted arms
17-5 AmFacts - Amazing Facts but no bug now; audio same as 17-3

BTW, closed-captioning only on 17-1; is that legal? Did I mention that
this Enid station was off for a while after last month`s ice storm?
(Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 5850, Nov 28 at 1359, TOMBS non-pausing, yet
I can barely recognize underneath the intonations of a canned Bob
Biermann WRMI ID. At 1400 is // 5800 and no doubt many others for the
expanded Sabbathcasts. And that is not all!

13700, Nov 28 at 1402, TOM is here as BS is blathering on about the
Sevens, as one of his wacko obsessions is numerology, interrupting
himself for phone contact info; RHC has not come on yet. A frequency
with TOMBS ending in -00 has got to be new from Secretbrod, BULGARIA,
but not yet listed in EiBi or Aoki/NDXC. HFCC as of my 15 Nov download
had 13700 from SOF only at 16-18 in Arabic! Ivo Ivanov had reported:

``SECRETLAND Brother HySTAIRical via SPL Secretbrod on November 18
1400-1430 13700*SCB 050 kW / 126 deg to N/ME awful strong dead air
1430-1510 13686vSCB 050 kW / 126 deg to N/ME with awful modulation``

11600 also bears Bulgarian BS, Nov 28 at 1449, yelling // 5850 WRMI
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 420-MCW kHz, Nov 28 at 0716 UT, ND beacon TU, 25 watts from
TUpelo - Verona, Mississippi. I was tuned to 419-USB. At first I
thought it might be TUlsa, OK, but its TU is on 338 with 30 watts;
have I ever heard it? Not lately if ever. On 338 if anything, I hear
RYN which is in yet another TU-town, Tucson. But in classaxe.com,
someone last logged Tulsa on 2020-11-05. Getting back to 420, I am
simul-hearing much more common FQ, 25 watts in Fairmont, Minnesota,
and also when tuned to 418-USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17775-, Sat Nov 28 at *1600, KVOH power is back on, cuts on
air just in time for English, 1601 Wavescan, via TWR Key West SDR but
too poor in noise to keep listening. PG&E cut power to KVOH area
yesterday as fire precaution forcing it off the air (Glenn Hauser, oK,
WOR)

** U S A. 5970, Nov 28 at 1358 open carrier, no doubt WEWN Spanish not
turned off yet, despite day frequency 12050 already on with IS,
proving that there are two different transmitters. The chanting IS I
was thinking is `Salve Regina`, but does not seem to match online
versions of it. A pity that years ago WRTH stopped including IS info,
even musical notations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1090, Nov 28 at 1344 UT, dead air but finally some dinging,
so it`s RCC mass, and mention of ``sacrament`` in English, ergo KEXS
Excelsior Springs MO - Kansas City market, with EWTN radio, same mass
we would be hearing if WEWN were on the SW air any more in the
mornings. It`s being overtaken by a gospel huxter citing Leviticus,
likely remnant of KAAY Little Rock, and making a slow SAH of 28/minute
= 0.47 Hz. Catholix vs Protestants! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, November 28 at 1332
UT: 1566, surely 250-kW HLAZ South Korea. None others found, not even
NHK biggies on 774, etc. I`m seldom awake pre-sunrise, always running
a sleep-deficit. Today`s LSR was 1322 UT, but the latest will be about
1344 circa Epiphany, or OrthoXmas. OTOH, our earliest sunset will be
in about a week, 2316 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
