** 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.

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(Continue reading)
