CUBA   Cuba transmissions this Nov 4 morning.

Heard in central Europe, NJ/NY/MI remote US sites,
also in Edmonton Alberta Canada, from 07.15 to 08.57:30 UT.

5025even fq, Radio Rebelde Spanish program from Bauta site. Lovely
great Latin American program/singer at 07.18 UT. S=9+25dB signal
in both NJ/NY state remotes.
20.6 kHz wide audio signal visible on SDR control software screen.

5040 kHz RHC Bauta off at this time 07.20 UT Nov 4.

5980, 6030 and 6135 kHz all annoying scratch jamming signals S=8-9.

5999.999 RHC Quivican San Felipe TITAN site, nice audio via the 250 kW
station. No distortion on this channel. S=9+40dB in NJ/NY/MI/Alberta
remotes. English program, end of Arnie Coro's radio hobby service.
07.24 UT. But weaker on

6060.004 RHC Bauta also English service, but less strong S=8. And

6100even RHC Bauta English outlet of S=9+10dB at NJ, at 07.32 UT, despite

6165even RHC Bauta carried a Spanish language sce at 07.37 UT,
some S=9+25dB strength level. Talk on international soccer football news,
about porteros, ballon, penalty a.s.o.

6100even RHC Sunday only Esperanto service on that single frequency.
Interval signal of RHC, into station ID in Esperanto given start at
08.00:14 UT. Another Esperanto language ID heard at 08.01:20 UT.
S=9+25dB signal noted in Alberta remote. Presenter was Mario Ruiz Carell,
'Saludo Mondo' program end at 08.29:47 UT.

Something seems always surprising with Radio Habana Cuba.

Believe it or not, the Bauta technician seemingly went to the coffee table
out, strong S=9+25dB signal empty carrier was still on air a lot of time
til

SWITCH OFF the transmitter late at 08.57:30 UT (!)

GERMANY   RADIO DARC mit drei neuen Sendeplaetzen.

Ab Sonntag, den 11. November ab 11 Uhr MEZ/CET sendet RADIO DARC // zur
bisher bekannten Frequenz 6070 kHz erstmalig auch auf 7440 kHz
im 41 Meterband.

Zum Einsatz kommt der neue Zweitsender von Channel 292 mit 10 kW Leistung
an einer Dipol-Antenne. Auch die Montags-Sendung um 17 Uhr MEZ/CET
wird nun // auf 6070 kHz und auf 7440 kHz abgestrahlt.

Die zusaetzliche Frequenz verspricht vor allem in Nord-Deutschland und
Europa-Randgebieten besseren Empfang als die 6070 kHz, die vor allem fuer
den Nahbereich konzipiert ist. Fuer die Abendsendung duerfte nun fast
weltweiter Empfang moeglich sein, fuer Testsendungen liegen bereits erste
Empfangsberichte aus Neuseeland vor.

Wir bitten alle Hoererinnen und Hoerer, die neue zusaetzliche Frequenz von
RADIO DARC zu beachten und Empfangsberichte zu senden.

Auch gibt es ab sofort zwei weitere Sendeplaetze auf Buerger-Radios
auf UKW.

Fuer Hoererinnen und Hoerer im Grossraum Berlin wird RADIO DARC ab
Freitag{Friday}, den 9. November um 15 Uhr MEZ/CET im Wechsel mit
'Welle370' vom Verein Funkerberg Koenigs Wusterhausen
via 'ALEX RADIO Berlin' auf 91.0 MHz FM zu hoeren sein.

Im Norden Thueringens steht ab dem 7. November ebenfalls ein neuer
Sendepartner zur Verfuegung. 'RADIO ENNO' aus Nordhausen wird kuenftig
das DX-Magazin des DARC immer mittwochs{Wednesdays}  um 21 Uhr MEZ/CET
auf UKW FM 100.4 MHz verbreiten.

Mit diesen neuen zusaetzlichen UKW-Sendeplaetzen ist RADIO DARC nun fuer
rund 6 Millionen Menschen in Deutschland terrestrisch auf UKW zu
empfangen.

Fuer den Grossraum Hamburg erfolgt seit Oktober ebenfalls eine Aussendung
auf UKW und DAB+ via 'TIDE RADIO' auf 96.0 MHz FM.
Darueber berichtet Rainer Englert, DF2NU.

NIGERIA/FRANCE/UK/USA   11580 kHz Nov 8 at 2042 UT, no signal from R.
Nigeria, Kaduna, via WRMI Okeechobee Florida, scheduled 2000-2300 UT.

Ivo Ivanov, back after more than a month of silence, points out that
besides WRMI relays, RN,K is also scheduled via ISSoudun, France:

05-07 UT  7335 kHz
07-09 UT 13840 kHz
11-15 UT 17690 kHz
20-23 UT  7235 kHz (-21 CCI with Romania).
These cover same timespans as RMI 11580 kHz, also 05-09 & 11-15 UT.

7335 kHz, Nov 9 at 0552 UT check, guess what:
JBA carrier under heavy pulse jamming by CUBA against an ex-Radio Marti
frequency. Something's always wrong.

Kai Ludwig replies: "So who is the financier of these Issoudun
transmissions? FRCN Kaduna itself is so short of money that they can
hardly operate their own Jaji transmitters anymore (so it was probably not
even an equipment failure that silenced 6090 kHz again earlier this year):

<https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/fgs-information-agencies-groan-under-poor-
funding.html>

Kai". Viz.:
"FRCN Kaduna, which was hitherto a leading source of information to many
Hausa speakers in Nigeria and neighbouring countries, is now a shadow of
itself. The Radio Kaduna, as popularly called, does not operate full hours
because it cannot afford diesel to run its transmitter in Jaji. "Whenever
our transmitter in Jaji is off because of power supply, the radio station
goes off air. The transmitter guzzles diesel that the station's meagre
resources can't afford," a senior staff of the station said".
(Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, dxld & hcdx Nov 9)

re  R Kaduna Nigeria relay via TDF Issoudun France.
> "who is the financier of these Issoudun transmissions? "

My strong feeling is, that shortwave service relay via Issoudun is payed
by EU Brussels budget, or even of France/Germany's secret services to
strengthen the Muslim government there in Central and West Africa.

Similar help of French govt goes to TDA Algiers Arabic language program on
shortwave 49, 41, and 31 mb since a past decade or so.

Covers Sahel Sahara zone with the Algiers program to the locals to
stabilize the authoritiy govts there - since a decade or much longer.

NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS   Category 5 Super Typhoon Yutu slams
Tinian Island, home of an IBB relay site.

<https://weather.com/storms/typhoon/news/2018-10-24-super-typhoon-yutu-
mariana-islands-guam-western-pacific>

Is anyone hearing IBB relays from the island?
(Ethan Best, KC9YDN, Oct 24, dxld Oct 29)

Viz., partially:
Super Typhoon Yutu has weakened slightly but remains a powerful Category 4
storm as it traverses the Philippine Sea en route to Southeast Asia. Yutu
was the strongest typhoon of record to pass over the islands of Saipan and
Tinian in the U.S. Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.

Yutu left behind major damage in Saipan and Tinian in what is being called
the worst case scenario for the islands. For more details on impacts, see
the link below.
(via dxld Oct 29)

Re: Category 5 Super Typhoon Yutu slams Tinian Island, home of
an IBB relay site.

Further reports say Saipan was just as hard hit as Tinian:

more: Latest Updates on Damage From Yutu
<https://weather.com/storms/hurricane/news/2018-10-24-typhoon-yutu-
impacts-northern-mariana-islands>

Does anyone have any official info from IBB, about Tinian status? What
about nearby Saipan; is it scathed or not? Seems only Tinian is in the
news about this. How about the private stations on Guam?

If TIN is out of service, as many transmissions as possible could be
transferred to other sites such as Saipan, Tinang, Udorn,
{Tinang Philippines, wb.}  and we would never know which by listening
without any local IDs.

I then make an inquiry to the manager of the Marianas stations:

"What is the status of the Kamosa stations?
Presumably off air due to no power, or generator backup?
Damage heavy?
Transmissions switched to other sites?
Details?
Hope staff are OK."

Reply from William Martin, manager:

"Glenn, Both stations were completely wiped out. Antennas mangled,
roofs partially torn off, fence lines flattened. Both sites will be
off air a minimum 6 months, possibly up to a year.

I am working with the Philippines government to provide a temporary
RFA broadcast authority. I've recruited embassy assistance to help
push, but we may not hear anything until next week. A huge mess in the
CNMI. Will"

He then forwards some of the first photos from Tinian, labeled
microwave shelters:

<http://www.w4uvh.net/TinianYutuDamage1.jpg>

<http://www.w4uvh.net/TinianYutuDamage2.jpg>

Note: previously I have generally filed in dxld as SAIPAN and TINIAN
separately rather than as Northern Mariana Islands.

More info on the damage, from Mica F Cochran of USAGM - not sure from
which island, if there be any difference, Saipan and Tinian:

"Glen[n], Heavy Damage and couldn't transmit if we had power.

Antennas severally damaged, site facilities damaged.
Generator issues due to water intrusion, and so on.
I could write you a book.
That said, everyone is o.k. but up to our necks in everything
imaginable. V/R"

And from Glenn Swiderski, NC-USA: "Wow! Bet they're happy they trashed
Delano and Dixon now. The stations on Tinian and Saipan were built in
nothing more than steel Butler buildings. Imagine a shortwave station
in a garage. That's what they had.

What's great is the guy who the stations are named after
[Robert E. Kamosa] took great pride in shutting shortwave down.
We referred to him as "Dr. Death"".

As of late Oct 27, I cannot find anything on the IBB, BBG, USAGM or
VOA websites about Typhoon Yutu damage to their own SW transmitters
sites on Saipan and Tinian; just these general stories, illustrated,
really from AP:

<https://www.voanews.com/a/us-sends-aid-to-pacific-islands-devastated-by-
huge-typhoon/4631465.html>

<https://www.voanews.com/a/northern-marianas-slammed-super-typhoon-yutu-
face-slow-recovery/4629555.html>

WRTH 2018 shows only two MW stations in the CNMI, both 1.1 kW on
Saipan, KCNM 1080 kHz and KKMP 1440 kHz, which just happen to end in zero
to match US autos; and 9 FM stations. How are they? BTW, one of them,
89.9 MHz FM KORU relays KSDA-FM Guam (not the SW programming)
(Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, hcdx and dxld Oct 29)

Tho we know both SAIpan and TINian are out of commission for many months
at least, latest B-18 HFCC dated Nov 8 still shows many transmissions from
them.

Some have surely been moved to other sites now following Typhoon Yutu
destruxion, others just off, but USAGM has failed to update registrations
and does not answer my requests for accurate new info.
Confidentiality about this cannot be justified

SPAIN    REE Noblejas resumes foreign languages on SW.

Confirmation last night of the very welcome return of foreign
languages on shortwave from Radio Exterior de Espana.

REE English was heard here last night (29 Oct) at 2300-2330 UT
followed by French starting at 2330 UT on 9690 and 12030 kHz
- only 9690 kHz audible here with 12030 kHz very weak.

Towards the end of the programme, several songs about radio were
played "to celebrate our return to the radio". The announcer said that
English as well as Arabic, French, Portuguese, Russian and Sefardic
have returned to the airwaves "thanks to the efforts of Radio
Exterior's new management under our new director, old colleague
Antonio Buitrago"

The English schedule was announced as 2300 UT Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays, repeated at 0300 UT on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

This is confirmed by the online programme schedule which also give the
times of some of the other languages

<http://www.rtve.es/radio/radio-exterior/programacion/>
(NB: this schedule is in Spanish time - subtract one hour for UT)

The repeat English broadcast at 0300 UT needs confirming as according to
REE's earlier frequency announcement shortwave broadcasts stop at 0300 UT,
although HFCC shows 9690 kHz continuing until 0400 UT.

The English programme can be downloaded at

<http://www.rtve.es/alacarta/audios/emision-en-ingles/>

This confusingly states, "English Language Broadcast Martes, jueves y
sabado da las 23.00 horas UT y las 03.00 horas UT"

So there is some confusion about the schedule at REE but the good news
is that foreign languages from Spain are back on short wave!
(Dave Kenny, Caversham, Berks-UK, BrDXC-UK ng & dxld Oct 30)

Note that the full schedule does not give any program titles for
English; claims Portuguese instead of Russian at 19h HOE,
and Sefardi {middle ages mixture Spanish Jewish language, wb.}
is weekly only on Sundays at 2230 UT.

The English archive briefly gives the topic of each one; note that all
are a bit over 30 minutes long, a few much over, like 34, 37, 41 mins.
This may be inconvenient to fit into SW slots.

UAE   Updates from Syria and Yemen Radios - [VOICE OF THE REPUBLIC]

Voice of the Republic was observed crash-starting on MW 1170 kHz
{probably via Al Dhabbaya UAE, wb} at 13:38 UT today (Sat 3 Nov).

Thanks Chris. I'm surprised VIRI/IRIB doesn't seem to have a specific
Arabic broadcast for Yemen, in the way they have for Bahrain and
Palestine. There's no mention of one in the frequency schedule on
their website, although the Bahrain transmission is not specified
there either, however Neda al-Bahrain does have its own website with
time and frequency details.
(David Kernick-UK, Interval Signals Online, dxld Nov 2 / 3)

Congratulations and thanks to Rawad, David, Kai and Roger for their
work on this story, which is something of a scoop!

I think there can be little doubt that 1170 kHz is from the 800 kW
transmitter at the Al-Dhabbaya site in the UAE.

I note that MWLIST says the station is on the air at 1400-0500 UT
(i.e. hours of darkness for skywave coverage of Yemen):

<https://www.mwlist.org/mwlist_quick_and_easy.php?area=1&kHz=1170>

The satellite feed is on Eutelsat 7 West A at 7.3 west, often (though
incorrectly) referred to in the Middle East as "Nilesat", because it
is in almost the same orbital position as Nilesat 201 at 7.0 west,
and many satellite users say they have a "Nilesat dish" pointing at
that position.

He never actually told us who he was, so I have no clue [nobody but John

AZIMUTHAL GREAT CIRCLE MAP GENERATOR

I sometimes refer to the beam or the antenna heading in my loggings.

This is because I use a great circle map centered on my location to
better understand signal propagation. It is also handy to have such a
map when using directional antennas. One of the best sites to generate
these maps is hosted by Tom Epperley, NS6T. It is completely free and
it's possible to customize your own maps with as much or as little
detail as needed. Click on his call sign to go to his website.
