** CUBA. 11670, Nov 16 at 1937, RHC confirmed on new frequency`s first day for
Chicago service in Creole, very good signal leaving no chance to hear All India
Radio. Tnx a lot, Arnie! who had no good reason to move from 11760 where there
is nothing else to be heard. Still on 11670 ex-11760 during the English hour at
2033 check. The full span of afternoon 11670 usage is 1900-2130 in Arabic,
Creole, English, French.
15370, Nov 16 at 2034, RHC Arabic is now here,
ex-17730, very good, but this one axually aimed northeastward toward
Arabisha.
6075, Nov 17 at 0131, RHC Spanish on another new frequency from
tonight, ex-9710, and // 6060, so close, almost bookending poor CFRX 6070
Toronto, with adjacent splash. The Dentro Cuban Jamming Command didn`t get the
message to clean up their spurs around 6080, pulsing also audible QRMing RHC
itself! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EAST TURKISTAN. 9710,
Nov 17 at 0135, some songs seem to have a slightly sacred sound in unknown
language, fair S8 signal now that RHC has evacuated to 6075. O, it`s only CRI
Spanish, so surely secular, finally IDing at 0143, 500 kW, 294 degrees at 01-03
via Kashgar (also Portuguese at 00-01) (Glenn Hausser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6952.62-AM, Nov 17 at 0155, pirate music, lyric
includes ``rock `n` roll``, very poor S4. Others weren`t hearing much better,
but the operator Synthetik Mayham [sic] had tipped on
hfunderground:
``Radio After Dark 6952.5 AM 01:37 UTC « on: Today at
01:40 » [sic:] Currently running a show at 6952.5 I apologies I have not

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 11520, Nov 16 at
1936 on the G8 by a restaurant`s east-facing window, what`s this? Sound like
that harsh fellow Alex Jones mixing with something weaker. Never heard on this
frequency via bigger receivers, but same as on 12160 WWCR; with one radio I
can`t tell if they match exactly. So it`s probably a mixing product: yes, the
other WWCR frequency, super-strong 9980, plus local 1640 KZLS The Eagle, which
does have Alex Jones on at 17-20 UT = 11520, so external mixing around here, or
the G8 internally overloaded. KZLS doesn`t usually get involved with SW stations

** PERU. 5980, Nov 17 at 0110,
JBA carriers from R. Chaski and BBC/UAE, until the stronger one, Chaski,
autocutsoff at 0111:06.5* which is 15.5 seconds later than last check Nov 14
until 0110:51*, or averaging 5.17 seconds later per (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** SPAIN. 9690, Nov 16 at 2032, REE is still AWOL from
their North American frequency, which this late should be propagating, perhaps
better than the ones which are JBA carriers, 11530, 15390, 15500. I guess their
NAm transmitter is out of order (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 15825, Nov 16 at 2005 on BST-1 caradio, happen to tune
to a memory I can`t read but presumably this, as WWCR is concluding a 5-minute
program with a website kanaan.com [spelt], which presumably pertains to `God
Lives and Works Today`, and making an announcement that effective immediately,
5070 is replaced by 9350 at 5-7 pm Central Time, or 22-24 UT!
At first I
thought it must be an outdated screwup since that would pertain to CDT, not CST,
but uplooked later, I see that WWCR transmitter schedules have been updated this
very day November 16, to eliminate 5070, and extend 9350 really to 23-01 UT on
WWCR-2. What was wrong with 5070? Certainly always very strong here, and less
likely to fade into the dusk/night than a 9 MHz frequency. BTW, current sked
supposedly expires March 21, 2016, which is 8 days after DST resumes on March
13, and 6 days before A-16 begins on March 27, right in the middle of the biweek
of confusion, so what`s with that? More anomalies not only about timezones but
significant dates (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
