** BRAZIL [and non]. 15190, was not hearing much from R. Africa, Nov 30 before 2200, but at 2210 I get two weak
signals on slightly different frequencies, and a rapid warble with BFO on; somewhat less rapid on
Argentina 15345v, so once again it seems trans-equatorial Doppler is in effect. This is never evident on
Chile 17680, such as rechecked just now. Dominant audio on 15190 is Brazilian, from R. Inconfidência,
easy to tell apart from the low-key mumbler and convicted child sex evangelist Tony Alamo during this hour
from Guinea Ecuatorial (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** GUAM. 11965, Nov 30 at 2202, Indonesian announcement, Suara – something, but cut off the air at
2202:40*. Back on at *2203:15 and seems slightly stronger, an overdue antenna change? W&M continue
conversing with musical background. This is KSDA at 2200-2230, 100 kW, 255 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1690, I have now tracked down the errant talking house in Enid. First I went back to the office of
Smith Realty at 528 N Van Buren: http://www.w4uvh.net/SmithRealty.jpg

And made sure the signal was not emanating from the building behind this sign. No, it was DFed to ESE from
there. Driving east a few blox, the signal audibly increased on the caradio. Did a loop around the
neighborhood, and soon around 1930 UT Nov 30 came to a much stronger signal in the 600 block of West Elm,
across from Emerson Middle School. Parked across the street from a likely house, 607, 
http://www.w4uvh.net/Sabedra.jpg 
and on the DX-398 as I walked up the driveway the signal finally started to inboom, lighting up the signal
meter. 

Obviously this was it, confirmed by a car in the driveway with the same phone number on the back window as
announced on the 1690 loop. Before I could knock on the door, a young lady emerged, having seen me approach,
and it was Samantha Sabedra- herself! Since she had stepped into the windchill with bare arms, and I was all
bundled up, I kept the conversation brief, but she told me she has about 5 TH transmitters in her house, and
was working on this one to redeploy it. 

Was not sure of the frequencies of the others, but they are on the signs to go with them. Too bad; I was going to

** ANTARCTICA. 15476, still no trace of LRA36 carrier, Dec 1 at 1400 and a couple chex later in the hour (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11780, Dec 1 at 0643, open carrier and then music, poor signal and OSOB except for trace of WEWN
11870. RNA during DST nominally starts around 0700, but carrier-on and modulation-on vary a lot, last
year as early as 0630 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA [and non]. 7540, Dec 1 at 1338, mix of two stations, one with YL rock song in English, the other
Chinese talk: so it`s BBC Chinese service, M-F at 1300-1530, 250 kW, 20 degrees via Nakhon Sawan, THAILAND
and USward, and ChiCom CNR1 jamming, as confirmed by *Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** COLOMBIA [and non]. 5910, Dec 1 at 0647 propagation is pitiful but one station making it with a poor signal
is Marfil Estéreo, usual peppy Mexican music in the nightmiddle, timecheck for 1:46; 0655 another
one-minute-late TC for 1:54, ID in passing. No QRM, unlike sister station La Voz de tu Conciencia,
smothered by RHC on 6010, as it has done for years despite appeals; so the prospects for another missionary
broadcaster, HCJB on 6050, do not look promising, RHC still there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** COSTA RICA. 9765, Dec 1 at 1330, REE audio cutting off and on, mostly off, as Basque service is starting,
and the same problem on 15170, except Romania fills in the gaps. Wiggle that patchcord! Was lining up BFO on
9765 to be sure I was right on 5765 when checking for GUAM, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. RHC supposedly starts both 12040 and 15230 at 1100 and they stay on all day, but Dec 1 at 1446 nothing
on 12040 tho 11760 is in well. 15230 at 1412 nor can I detect any RHC under CRI English via Sackville, tho
15360 and 15120 are audible. Are they keeping 15230 off now until CRI is finished with it? SAC cuts off CRI at
1458:51 during Chinese lesson, and still no RHC on 15230. But at 1524 recheck, there it is. Next check at
1728, 12040 is also on, in plenty of time to collide with Portugal later (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 6250.0, Dec 1 at 0640, very poor signal with traces of music, presumed this about to
fade out. Usually starts about an hour earlier when one should really start tuning for it (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 9610, Dec 2 at 1732 a Newfoundland sea chanty, 1732 ID as hour 2 of The Link from RCI on various
platforms including ``several SW frequencies``. This reminds me that the English hours have now shifted
to 1604-1804 UT (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. Checking out RHC colliding on 12040 with PORTUGAL [q.v.], Dec 1 at 2045 I find that 11760 is // 11730,
15230 and at 2047 program ID in Spanish as Sonido Cubano --- therefore, the English broadcast supposed to
be on 11760 at this hour has got lost in the shuffle again. 11770 was in Arabic. Dec 3 at 1930 no Portugal, just
Habana on 12040. Portugal`s weekday usage depends on silly ballgame scheduling, but they should have
priority, there first, and properly registered (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 9955, checking for WORLD OF RADIO 1541, Thursday Dec 2 at 2212 on WRMI, nothing audible but
wall-of-noise jamming. The only exile programming at this hour is on Sundays, per Nov 4 WRMI schedule
online, Foro Revolucionario at 2130-2230. Tnx a lot, Arnie! Meanwhile the all-day WON jamming was off
9965 by this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 15190, R. Africa, Dec 2 at 2217 Tony Alamo with SAH from Brasil or slow flutter;
frequency also warbles slightly on BFO, equatorial Doppler effect. BTW, Alamo`s convixion under the
Mann Act has been upheld. Just in case Pan American Broadcasting, broker for R. Africa, is unaware of the
monster they are dealing with, I forwarded this on to them (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) Viz.:
