** SCOTLAND [non]. 5800, UT Sat Nov 28 at 0300, once again this week,
WRMI is playing `Encore` classical music. I notified the WOR iog ASAP
and wondered if this replace UT Thu on same, as Richard Lemke says
that was missing this week. And also Brice Avery who is unaware of
this emission in his publicity. But this is a prepeat, probably first
airing anywhere as on the 28/11 playlist.
https://www.tumbril.co.uk/playlist-2
which I think will become playlist-1 when there is a new one next
week. I enjoy the hour very much via a remote in Missouri in the Synch
AM mode --- S9+30 almost ``local`` reception but totally mono. WRMI
skedgrid still has a blank in this space, with Encore on Thu.

About the playlist, the layout is rather confusing. Ma Vlast, for
instance, does not attribute it to Smetana but seemingly to Dvorak:
evidently the third column is the name of the record which presumably
included this piece. In classical music, the composer always comes
first --- then the title of the piece, movement; then the performers.
After that the less important record title and label. The way this
displays, the composer may or may not show up in any of the columns,
or may be incorrect. Brice`s announcements, of course, are more
explicit and with some further info.

Another thing I wish he would fix: ``playing out`` on the final piece,
which means it is going to get chopped off abruptly at 59:30 for the
WRMI ID before it`s finished. This is extremely jarring and unfair to
the music. Make the program a little shorter, 59:00? and/or start the
last piece in time for it to complete, preferably also then with a
back announcement and good-bye (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7490.1v), UT Sat Nov 28 at 0100, WBCQ webcast of `AAAWWW`
notes: says is on 7490 & 6160 only. WBCQ is fine, crew is well.
Looking for one or two full-time engineers to hire, good pay; very
little COVID-19 in northern Maine --- but see this gh found:
``Aroostook County reports record high COVID-19 cases for a single day
--- Alexander MacDougall • November 24, 2020``

https://fiddleheadfocus.com/2020/11/24/news/aroostook-county-reports-record-high-covid-19-cases-for-a-single-day/
--- County population is about 70K, he says. Aroostook is huge, the
cap all over northern Maine, and down the NB border. Last week a pump
blew a seal, so off the air for a day, and there was no spare, AHW`s
fault, but the crew soon got it back on air. Not clear which
transmitter(s) he is talking about.

Still waiting to acquire WHRI, delays in getting FCC approval, maybe
because they are working from home. Otherwise would be on air right
now with World`s Last Chance program --- and he mentions NO other
program in connexion with WHRI, so it`s pretty clear WLC is
bankrolling this too. Believes China should compensate handsomely
every single American for the virus which was no accident. Discussing
safety measures around electricity, and that common household 120V AC
is among the most dangerous, because it locks your muscles up so you
can`t let go before it kills you. So avoid getting shocked.

At 0124 finally datestamps this as 27 of November YOOL 2020. Then
reads a Nov 18 Radio World article about stations other than KDKA
being ``first``, such as MXZ Marconi in England, 9XM Madison WI now
WHA, 8MK to WBL to WWJ Detroit. Discussion of VLF stations such as NAA
Cutler, Maine. 0149 Angela reads some e-mail. AHW has A-Fib (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7490, Nov 28 at 0528, outro of `Heart to Heart with Kimberly
Ann`, World Harvest Radio promo, 0530 Pete Sumerall introduces late
father Lester. So it`s WHRI as registered in HFCC B-20 for 0430-0600.
Yet, the WBCQ program schedule claims it is on 7490 at 0400-0600 with
a wacko conspiracy show I am not going to name. Since I first pointed
out this anomaly of WHRI signing off 7490 at 0600, there has been a
resounding lack of interest: it seemed as if WBCQ might already be
doing some programming on a Furman transmitter.

6160, Nov 28 at 0545, I monitor 6160v which is certainly WBCQ while a
talk show is in progress --- is that the one their schedule mistakenly
shows as on 7490? At 0554 host says not going to do a third hour
tonight --- that`s certainly flexible! Refers to ``want to show you
this ---`` so apparently originally a web/podcast with video. As
commercial plug. Jeffrey Daugherty is host, so that clinches my
conclusion about WBCQ showing wrong frequency on sked (Glenn Hauser,

** U S A. 17775-, Nov 27 at 1535, no signal from KVOH, even tho I just
heard a ham in southern California on 18 MHz band. Before I could
report this, explanation was already in from Ray Robinson of KVOH to
the WOR iogroup at 1752; would that more station personnel were so
forthcoming explaining anomalies without even being asked:

``[WOR] Power Cuts --- Due to high winds, Southern California Edison
has today been cutting power pre-emptively to subscribers in Los
Angeles County and Ventura County. They are concerned that downed
power lines may cause fires and result in law suits against them.
Unfortunately, the areas they have targeted this morning include both
the transmitter sites for KVOH-SW and for our sister FM station KWSV
99.1 The Ranch. As a result, KVOH is currently off the air, and the FM
station is operating from a back-up transmitter at another location.

This report dispatched at 2356 UT November 27

** BRAZIL [and non]. 11780, Nov 25 at 2302, RNA-AM is S9+5/15 at
Bonaire SDR, compared to RNA-DRM on new 11875-11880-11885 as first
covered in my last report; which is now S8-S9 when the noise is tuned
in SAM mode, as still no audio decoding in DRM mode, at first
displaying 0.00 kpbs, then jumps to 19.80. I may not know how to get
the best results out of DRM SDRs? At 2308 I compare it to OCB-DRM on
7340-7345-7350 which displays S9+15/20, 9.76 kbps with audio cutting
on at times.

At 0055, I try Pardinho, Brasil SDR which does hear the noise on
11880, but with ACI splash from 11885 CRI in English. RNA-DRM is
supposedly running 24 hours, and being experimental may explain the
problems in receiving it. They were supposedly going to switch to more
user-friendly parameters the next day. The Brasília SDR would be
interesting to try if available, at local? range (Glenn Hauser, OK,

First SWBCs confirmed UT Friday November 27 at 0130 on WRMIs, checked
direct only: 5850 VG S9+20/30; 5010 S9/+10 but sounds much weaker in
noise; and 9955 VG S9+20. Note: technical problems delayed full
editing completion in time for this, so played without the usual
opening, which is there on all repeats (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (7490), Nov 27 at 0300-0400, enjoyed hearing Uncle Bill`s TG
special with participation of other WBCQ entertainment shows, while
writing this report, via webcast. Would like to have plugged it on WOR
2062, but it would have been a past-thing on all my repeats except for
the very first airing, and AFAIK they are not retrievable later, altho
YouTube or something could spare the bandwidth (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** U S A. 660, November 26 at 0704 UT, mix of stations but silly
sports news is dominant, and 0706 WFAN ID from New York; not often
heard here, nor would I ever want to, vs Mexico, Cuba, Balch Springs
but no sign of KTNN AZ/NM, which recently had been reported back east,
even in NY state, despite supposed to notch a null toward NYC; so I
guess it`s back in whack. 50 kW KTNN is not hard to hear here when ND
around SR or SS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2062)

** BRAZIL [and non]. 11875-11880-11885, Nov 25 at 1949, TWR Bonaire
SDR is getting an S6 steady DRM noise signal here, ~9 dB SNR, but
nothing decoding to the ear. Via Richard Langley, this has just been
reported in the DRMNA iogroup as the new frequency for RNA DRM tests;
and it`s already shown on the SDR menu as available 24 hours. This
should make for an interesting collision with RHC-AM at 2100-2300 in
French, English for Africa. Further monitoring:

2055 & 2058.5, break of a few seconds in DRM noise and back on, more
to come: 2100 no sign of RHC yet, nor by 2108, just DRM. I have other
stuff to do and not rechecked until 2134 --- now RHC is on, in
Brazuguese, no less, along with the RNA DRM, roughly equal levels here
and Bonaire, then RHC mostly atop but with fades; 2139.5 & 2142, more
momentary breaks in DRM, but RHC is also off at 2141-2144. Meanwhile
someone else is trying to hear 11880-DRM via Bonaire from Patos e
Minas, Brazil. And so it goes --- (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 6020, Nov 25 at 1900, S8 via UTwente SDR, CRI theme, ID in
Chinese and then ``Ju Flet ---`` which nails it as Albanian. Then YL
narration with sound-effects, not just music.

This caused confusion when first reported from Europe, but now we know
from Albanian expert Ullmar Qvick in Sweden, BC-DX:

``CHINA/ALBANIA, RADIO EJANI on 6020 kHz heard at 1900-1957 UT has
caused confusion. This is the CRI service in Albanian using the
superpower tx in Shijiazhuang and carrying the program of the
China-owned FM station Radio Ejani (Radio Come! in Albanian)
broadcasting fram Tirana and Durres on 106.0 MHz since 2013.

Pop music programs with frequent IDs "Radio Ejani" and final CRI
announcement in Albanian from Beijing during the 1-hour transmission.
The tx then carries CRI in Polish at 2000 z (Ullmar Qvick,
Norrköping-SWEDEN, Nov 22)``

Like several other languages, CRI is unable to produce own programs in
Albanian, so this is the roundabout substitute. Kai Ludwig replies:

``In case I keep forgetting to check it: Should be // 7385 kHz. The
inserted CRI ID suggests that this simply replaces their own
Albanian-language radio productions.

Remember that in last year CRI made drastic cuts to its linear radio
programming, reducing many language services to hardly more than music
and already telling listeners in Brazil that the radio service in
Portuguese has ceased.

Radio Ejani just *is* CRI:
https://www.facebook.com/pg/RadioEjani/about/

No contacts in Albania whatsoever, so apparently the two FM
transmitters just take a feed from Beijing, and this program output is
now also routed to the transmitters in China previously used for
separate Albanian shortwave broadcasts, if they still did them for
some time after 2013 at all. Kai`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

copiable and perhaps with errors; ``CA - OA - OIAEN - ZAN - ORA -
ABEC``, until 0258*. Thought it might be Nova, which does CW IDs, but
no fit. I was hoping someone on HFU would have IDed this and/or copied
the code (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Ron Howard replied: ``Glenn, Was also listening to this station.

Thanks.

Nov 25, on 6924.88 AM, tuned in at 0149 UT to non-stop LA music; 0206,
CW (assume ID?) followed by spoken ID (loop); 0209, test tone,

to deal with CW and very little to deal with Spanish. My audio of one
minute of music, then CW ID, followed by spoken IDs (loop), posted at

I replied: ``Ron, Great, clear recording. CW is
ZANAHORIA EN ESCABECHE
Then M&W repeat multiple times ``ésta es la zanahoria en escabeche``

Put that phrase in search and it means ``spicy pickled carrots`` --- a
Mexican dish; ah yes, I`ve had those without knowing their name -- but

UNIDENTIFIED. 17545.06V, Nov 25 at 1539, JBA talk, off-frequency and
wobbling so it`s hard to measure to 3 decimal places. Only thing known
here is that Eritrean clandestine Bayto Yiakl, but it`s supposedly
Saturdays only at 1530-1600 via France, and this is Wednesday. Maybe
expanded as the conflict along the border with Ethiopia is heating up.
Would not expect ISSoudun to be that far off-frequency, so maybe some
other site like UAE (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 18127-USB, Nov 25 at 1530 and earlier, ragchew sounds
like Plattdeutsch; mentions a VA9- call, not sure if his in Canada or
a contact (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 2156 UT November 25

** ARMENIA. 9290, Nov 24 at 1355 past 1400 with no break, S Asian
language at S6-S9. Still there but weaker at 1417 vs running-H2O QRM.
It`s TWR-India via Gavar, in Hindi daily 1345-1415, amid a total span
of 1315-1445 in various languages. Aoki/NDXC shows Hindi until 1420 on
weekdays, otherwise English until 1425*, extended to 1445* weekends
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. UNIDENTIFIED. 4925, Nov 25 at 0217, JBA talk, equivalent VP
signal to S Americans on 4940, 4885. Only 4925 in EiBi is Korean
numbers not at this hour but if on would not be propagating. WRTH 2020
has 5 kW Rádio Rural, Tefé, Amazonas, Brasil as irregular. Aoki/NDXC
shows 0930-0200 as if regular. Not reported lately, but found this
from JRX in Brasil: ``4925. Apr 15, 2020. 0313-0333, Rádio Educação
Rural de Tefé, Tefé-AM, in Portuguese. A musical program with variety
songs; Female voice; A song; Male voice, ID and announcements; 0331 A
song; 0333 Ends and sign-off. Poor reception.`` I don`t get around to
checking TWR Bonaire SDR for this until 0333 --- nothing there (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 jammer search WOOB November 24 at 1346: JBA Chinese or
JBA carriers: 11500, 11460, 11440, 11150, 11100, 10870; none in the
14s, 13s, 12s; 9315, 9300, 9180 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11850, Nov 24 at 2205, RHC is dead air, then ramps up to JBM
Spanish, perhaps a typical sign-on warmup, only S4-S7 as is English on
11880. Something`s always wrong at RHC. But recheck at 2348, 11850 is
off. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9700, Nov 25 at 0222, RHC English is S5-S7, undermodulated,
unusable. Only //, 6000 is even worse, S9/+10 and JBM. Somethings are
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6924.884-AM, Nov 25 at 0223, VP S7-S8 music, only
pirate activity now; 0232 brief announcement, more music, LA? 0253
still going, at 0254 into MCW, but fading and only partially copiable
and perhaps with errors; ``CA - OA - OIAEN - ZAN - ORA - ABEC``, until
0258*. Thought it might be Nova, which does CW IDs, but no fit.

KIPM was reported on ``6925`` as late as 0130, but in USB:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,74782.0.html

Stardust Five Laser Radio was on 6925-AM, but not since 2158 Nov 24:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,74777.0.html

I was hoping someone on HFU would have IDed this and/or copied the
code. Nor any old hits there on the exacter frequency 6924.9 -- but I
had such a log last Feb, which led back to Captain Morgan SW in May
2017 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PANAMA. 18146.8-USB, Nov 24 at 2155, HP3SS working US stations, at
30 miles from Costa Rican border in western Panamá. Sounds like an
American --- no, Canadian, without a specific address in QRZ.com:
``HP3SS Panama flag Panama, Robby Robertson, Volcan, Panama. QSL: via
AC2OV`` and: ``Please do not send mail to Panama. I will not recieve
it. Please do not QSL via buro. I do not recieve cards from the QSL
buro. I have been living in Panama since October 2015. I operated as
HP3/VY2SS for a year while I waited for my Panama call. I enjoy
contesting and DX. My equipment is: Flex 6400 and Ameritron AL-1200.
Antennas are: 20M-6M - 3 element Steppir yagi at 75 feet. Please QSL
direct to AC2OV with SAE and sufficient return postage. Previous calls
- VY2SS, CY9SS, VE2/VY2SS, VE7ARS, VE8HF, VE3FYB, VE1AGN``.

BTW, in my daytime bandscans between the ham and bc bands, I routinely
tune across the 17.9+ MHz aero band --- and *never* encounter any
activity. EiBi lists a number of stations around the world available
24 hours, starting with Albrook, Panamá on 17901. Maybe the aeronauts
are writing off this band as dead even when it isn`t (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 414-MCW kHz, Nov 24 at 0708 UT, ND beacon ATS, which is 25
watts from ArTeSia, New Mexico; also audible tuned to 412-USB. Last
logged Oct 6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 21250-USB, Nov 24 at 1859, WW2DX calling CQDX 15, good
signal yet the OSOB; what a desirable vanity callsign: ``WW2DX USA
flag USA, Lee J Imber, Pawling, NY 12564 USA``. Per QRZ.com he`s quite
the DX-peditioner, including Sable Island postponed from Oct 2020 to
Oct 2021 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2061 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday
November 24 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, VG S9+15/20 via UTwente; at 0121

** U S A. I neglected to include the time of UB`s TG special, fixed:
(7490.1v), UT Tue Nov 24 from 0000, WBCQ webcast cuts off some wacko
conspiracy talk for 50% of `Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot`, replay from 25
hours ago when it all aired; starting with a scrotum song, but we have
been warned. Also plugs his TG special UT Fri Nov 27 *at 0300-0400* on
6160v & 7490v. I often catch this semi-repeat due to a scheduling
conflict the day before (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, Nov 25 at 0215, WTWW-2 is S9+30 with request request,
not so distorted as the music before and after it, tsk2 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 10533-USB, Nov 24 at 1348, 2-way in language, maybe
Indonesian, as I am patrolling for CNR1 jammers (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
