** ALBANIA. 7465, Nov 6 at 0033, fair signal with music but low modulation, no QRM, presumed the daily Albanian language service of R. Tirana to North America at 00-01, here and now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** AUSTRIA. 7300, Nov 6 at 0641, TWR music-box IS is already going, VG // much weaker 5910 but without any …

** AUSTRIA. 6155, Nov 5 at 0637, Ö1 with classical music, fair signal but bothered by splash from 6165 Cuba, as the sole SW broadcast from ORF itself has shifted time an hour later to 0600-0715, 300 kW non-direxional (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 13780 and 15340, Nov 5 at 1402, no signals from RHC, expected to …

** CHINA. Firedrake, all-instrumental traditional-music jamming, November 4:6185, poor at 1153 vs algo; now I`m wondering if I was really on 6180 where RTI resides, rather than 6185 with China Huayi, not entitled to be jammed, but certainly would be as collateral damage if necessary 6145, very poor after 1400, still there for another day against RTI, and after R. …

Now updated for B-13 and standard time: DX/SWL/Media programs:http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html World of Radio schedule:http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Alan Roe`s Station Hitlist:http://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm ** CUBA. Further chex of RHC on first day post-DST, Sunday Nov 3: As expected, the first English broadcast at 19-20 has shifted an hour later back to 20-21, still on 11760; and with `DXers Unlimited` running at 2015 Sunday. 17720 is still …

** CHINA. 7220, Nov 3 at 1358-1400, trying to hear CRI with REE IS, but no signal is making it from Kunming vs SSB QRhaM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA [and non]. Firedrake, Nov 3 after 1400:6145 audible again today at 1408, poorer signal than yesterday vs RTI. No full search for CNR1 jammers today, just: 12045, …

** CUBA [and non]. 9490, Nov 3 at 0057, lite pulse place-marking jamming from the DCJC, but as I listen it audibly ramps up as more sites pile on and/or turn up power level, in anticipation of Radio República. Its carrier via FRANCE is on at 0100 but no modulation until Cuban NA (both pre- and post-Castro) starts playing at …

** CHINA. 7435, Nov 2 at 1359, prélude music, 1400 CRI opening Russian, very good signal. I was looking for the Radio Exterior de España IS, which whenever checked the past several B-seasons, would air by mistake at 1358-1400 on 7435 and 7220 preceding the CRI Nepali hour via Kunming, both always weak but enough to recognize REE IS. Maybe …

** AUSTRALIA. 15340, Nov 1 at 1338, RHC is missing, allowing HCJB Australia to be audible in S Asian language; Aoki shows Hindi during this semihour daily, tho there is a large rotation of many other languages at 1230-1330 and 1430-1500. Weaker than an open carrier on 15400, see unID, possibly the other Kununurran (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) …

** BRAZIL. 9665.46, Nov 1 at 0006, surprisingly strong signal sounded Chinesish for a moment, but then Brazuguese with time check for “22 horas e 6 minutos“ (rather than half a dozen minutes). And “endereço postal“ of Caixa Postal 2004, [missed postal code, but per WRTH it`s 888340-000], Camboriú, Santa Catarina, i.e. R. Voz Missionária. SBOB, strongest Brazilian on band, …

** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 6080, Oct 31 at 1146, R. Australia, weak beam to Asia has CCI, probably CRI Russian, northwestward from Beijing site, as in HFCC B-13, where RA has not bothered to register anything. Thought I would check this following recent one-day appearance of Solomon Islands on 6080 at 0830-0900+ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA …

** ANTARCTICA [non]. 15476, Oct 29 at 2029, no signal detectable from LRA36, tho others closer report it is still active. Now the adjacent QRM from 15480 in B-13 HFCC is AWR Arabic 250 kW, 350 degrees via MADAGASCAR. That signal is fair with flutter, but JBM talk and music; 2051 ID “Huna Idha`at —“ algo when I had not …

** ALBANIA. 7425, Oct 29 at 0245, R. Tirana confirmed here midway thru English broadcast, fair and in the clear for 0230 UT Tue-Sun (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ALBANIA [and non]. 7220, Oct 29 at 0546, this time I can make out some weak CCI under ROMANIA, confirming the collision of CRI English relay during the entire …
