I assume all the p- and e-mail really goes back to produxion HQ in Franklin TN. Back to ``today`s best music``. Rather odd that this be right next to 6115 RNZI, but at least they are not colliding directly.

This hour is supposed to be `African Pathways Radio` in English. RL has previously heard them running KNLS in English. Now it`s not only the wrong ``station`` but wrong language. It`s almost as if they are randomly grabbing program files to put on the transmitter. 1847 indoctrinated kids singing `Jesus Loves Me`. Transmission break before 1900, but 13670 back on by 1902, again in Russian! Instead of Arabic scheduled now. Also S7-S9 direct. 1927 KNLS ID. Axually this seems to be a transmitter mixup. The other one is scheduled in Russian at 18-19 on 9880, 19-20 on 9845. What`s on them now? Well, at 1940, 9845 via UTwente is playing ``Light My Fire``, in English, hardly a gospel song, extended version. 1946 segué to another hard rock song with screamer, maybe Janis Joplin? I`m no rockficionado. 1951 another familiar hard rock song to 1955*, never any announcements, so can`t tell what language service this was supposed to be --- but hardly the fare to be expected out of World Christian Broadcasting, despite its relatively diverse format on KNLS & MWV. Could it be that they have rented out one transmitter to something else, and consolidated their own programming on the other one, resulting in these language mixups at Mahajanga? 13710, after 9845 goes off, I retune UTwente to the next scheduled frequency for Arabic at 2000, and its carrier pops on at *1955.8, S9+20; 2000 ME music starts, and Radio Feda ID mentioning Mauritania, and so really in MWV Arabic. 11965, checked at 2001, Arabic song, and announcements by same M&W but no mention of Feda and definitely not // 13710 --- two separate Arabic programs at once. Instead of scheduled English. Later does mention Feda in passing. 2015 with times in Greenwich and Qahira. WHAT is going on here?? All of these with VG signals into UTwente.

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.

Arnie is almost incomprehensible, babbling lickety-split --- you know, this almost sounds like he`s artificially sped up. Somewhere I have a cassette recorder with that feature, variable speed playback, so you can compress speech and listen to something in less time than originally, yet without raising the pitch as would happen by simply playing a reel tape faster.

Another check at 0525: 9700 is on over CCI which would be Turkey; 6100 and 6060 are absent; 6000 suptorted; 6145 in Romanian which must be RRI, perhaps explaining why RHC evacuated tho I had not noticed this hour collision before.

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) Ron Howard replied: ``Glenn, Was also listening to this station. Please listen to my recording and let me know what you can make out. 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, followed by more of the same type of music. Afraid I have no ability 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 https://bit.ly/3l1Dg03 Thanks very much for any help! Ron California`` 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 -- now what? Well, Mexico is really in North America... Glenn`` Ron Howard refers to a belated log of this from Chris Smolinski at https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,74793.0.html ``I received this station last night, after a somewhat laborious session of listening to the SDR recordings I came up with this logging: ZANAHORIA EN ESCABECHE 6924.9 AM 0111 UTC 25 Nov 2020 « on: Today at 15:01 » SDR recording catch 0111 Carrier came on 0117 Music, Jorge Negrete "Ay Jaliso No Te Rajes", SIO 333 0121 Jorge Negrete "Yo Soy Mexicano" 0126 Jorge Negrete "Cocula" 0128 Jorge Negrete "Juan Charrasqueado" 0131 ZANAHORIA EN ESCABECHE repeated several times in CW 0134 SS OM "Esta es la ...

I last logged it July 30 after an absence, and first noted it missing again August 11, forever since; leaving nothing on the 500-529 band but some occasional NAVTEX hash around 518 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 350-MCW kHz, Nov 20 at 0705 UT, ND beacon RG at WRWA OKC is audible again after missing last night. Altho the carrier can be fairly strong, the modulation level is fairly weak (Glenn Hauser, Enid, 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.

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) ** PRIDNESTROVYE. 11530, Nov 21 at 1527, Dengê Welat at S5-S8 in presumed Kurdish with long/short path echo. Annoying as it may be, a sign of improving propagation when a signal reach us both ways. Assuming this is not the Turkish jammer, distance from Grigoriopol`, Moldova to Enid is 5805 statute miles short, so long path 24900 minus 5805 = 19185. Difference between 19185 and 5805 is 13380 miles. At lightspeed of 186 kmiles/second, the echo delay computes to 0.072 second, or about one fourteenth of a second. Sounds about right (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SCOTLAND [non]. 5850, UT Sun Nov 22 at 0100-0200, I listen to the entire `Encore` on WRMI, great classical music and great signal except for a bit of selective fading distortion to remind us that SW is a dynamic medium --- same edition as in 21/11 Playlist that I heard part of last night on a surprise prepeat at 0300 UT Sat on 5800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U A E. 5995.096, Nov 20 at 0320, another JBA algo, presumed BBC Arabic as scheduled this hour from this site so replete with offfrequenciness (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U A E. 11925.12 approx., Nov 20 at 1416, open carrier or JBM.

WRTH 2020 says it`s state-owned but operated and maintained by the UK`s Encompass, which one would think could do a better job of it. And do their clients not know or care what`s happening?

More at omiss.net. N4UT admits he is in Virginia. Is this for alumni, or what? Apparently nothing to do with Oxford, rather stands for OM International Sideband Society.

Also a lite long-path echo which is getting close to the max from a site short-path so close. Soon to interviewer speaking proper French. Is it // 15730? Seems same but far out of synch and much weaker, chopping off at 1928*. 17700 still going past 1930 but with a program change. Then I find 15730 back on much stronger than before, S9+20 and now it is in synch with 17700; discussion about Burkina Faso.

First subject about drug prices, conspiracy theory that the China-produced virus is being used as an excuse to keep drug prices high in the US, tnx to the Rothschilds, Bilderburgs, Illuminati --- but AHW reminds us ``don`t want to sound like conspiracy theorists`` meanwhile going on about this thinly veiled anti-Semitic stuff; ``the elexion ain`t over`` so plenty more politiix in store this week.

Who would be playing classical on WRMI but Brice Avery? Yes, it is additional run of his `Encore` hour, temporary fill or not? Soon outro as a bass/tenor duet from `The Pearl Fishers` by Bizet. 0352 recheck, about to ``play out`` with Schubert`s String Quarter #13, second movement. These are from the 21/11 Playlist, already airing. Play-out means Brice signs off early and never says anything at the very end; instead the music is still playing at 0359.5 when it`s chopped off for ID, 0400 dead air and about to turn off. What will occupy this frequency-hour next week? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9955, Sat Nov 21 at 1529.5, WRMI-3 with edited classic WNYW ID mentioning SW target countries including United Arab Republic: the union of Syria and Egypt which lasted only 1958-1961y altho Wikipedia elucidates: ``a sovereign state in the Middle East from 1958 to 1971. It was initially a political union between Egypt (including the occupied Gaza Strip) and Syria from 1958 until Syria seceded from the union after the 1961 Syrian coup d'état  —  leaving a rump state. Egypt continued to be known officially as the United Arab Republic until 1971``. At 1530, 9955 starts in Spanish, but immediately blasted away by switch to Brother Hystairical incomprehensible rant, as TOMBS is extended Sabbathdays only past 1500 on several other frequencies for live disservice until 1700; yet sked is contradictory about 9955, still showing 1500-1530 S&S as `Full Gospel Hour`, with Blalock the Blaster, but I just missed confirming whether he was really still Touretting before 1529.

Can`t be propagation, since 5800 WRMI is VG S9+25/30 with SMTV despite aimed SSE from FL. 5850 must be temporarily QRP, and is back up to full strength checked a few hours later (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15555-USB, Nov 19 at 1534, just a trace of talk from WJHR, still reactivated (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) ** UZBEKISTAN [non]. 12045, Nov 20 at 1411, big tone and no sign of a broadcast, but at 1413 now it`s off audiblizing some weak talk, i.e. listed R. Liberty in Uzbek via Biblis, GERMANY site, but in sideband splash from 12050 WEWN. The tone must have been too strong for a jammer if any against this service (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VENEZUELA. 6906V-RCUSB, Nov 20 at 0236, ROCV still AWOL at Bonaire SDR. At 0326 direct I have a noise blob with carrier at 6506.076, something else? At 0413, Pardinho, Brasil SDR has huge wideband noise blob around there (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VENEZUELA. 6906, Nov 23 at 0311, quick check of Bonaire SDR finds still no trace of an ROCV signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 6000, Nov 22 at 0719, RHC is off by now, but there is a JBA signal, possibly French? Aoki/NDXC shows these could be on at this hour: R. Guaíba, Brasil, which has been gone for years; AIR Leh, Ladakh, India, which is still active on night frequency 4760 but this is at midday; Echo of Hope, Korea S, and/or NK jamming --- if 6000 be its jumparound frequency this week; not much of a choice, but Ron Howard confirmed VOH on 6000 as of Nov 16 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 6860-AM, Nov 21 at 2313, S9+5/10 open carrier, often noted, every night? Maybe one of those RTTY QRX stations rarely bursting into axion (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) UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. 11252-USB, Nov 21 at 1342-1345*, 2-way in Spanish, reception good enough from both sides, but I can`t figure out what they are talking about, and wonder if even a native speaker could. Light QRM from VOLMET by YL on 11253-USB, which is getting a lot more QRM from this, i.e. RAF somewhere in UK (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) 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)
