 963 CYPRUS CyBC-RIK Proto, Nicosia  NOV 8 1948 - Confirmed by parallel website http://riknews.com.cy/index.php/radio-main/proto-live, and playing Adele, which made it easy to ID. Briefly dominated the frequency, before having Radio Tunis Chaine Internationale taking over in Spanish (at very good level). I can still hear Cyprus in the background, though. By 19:57, I can hear English (either Sunrise Radio or Asian Sound Radio). Quickly faded. Tunis switched to French at 20:00. Thanks to Vlad Titarev for pointing this one out for me!

I was pretty sure I heard Cyprus earlier, but with so many fades, it was hard to keep the stations straight. Finally, I definitely found Tunis on line feed working, so at one point it was them (the give away was a French announcement just now), and the on-line site www.rtci.tn/streamplayer. Cyprus I found at www.riknews.com.cy/index.php/radio-main/proto-live. [Salmaniw] NOV 7 0358 - Good; "quatre-vingt-dix FM" (90 FM) into pop vocal.

1035 SCOTLAND Westsound, Symington-Ayr  NOV 8 0653 - "Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me)" by Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel. Also the same Genesis song that was as on 1107, 1152 and 1161 kHz.

I hear at least 3 stations, none of which is India (which I was looking for). Unfortunately, I can't get any of the links to work to verify parallel. Four carriers measuring 1070.990, .999, 1071.007, and .010. Submitted the mp3 to RealDX, and Jari Savolainen who confirms the main station to be in Farsi, and co-channel Czech. The latter have two listed with 5 kW only. Thanks, Jari! NOV 8 2030 - What a mish mash of stations. I was looking for India, but no luck today. Three co-channels are visible on 1071.000, 1071.006, and 1071.010. All similar strength. At 20:37, lot's of mentions of Iran, so presume the dominant one is Iran.

1080 unID NOV 9 2230 - No sign of domestics, Arabic sounded singing under Spain, pips on half hour, so IRIB world service likely, but not parallel website? 6060 was parallel website but 1080 was not. Not parallel Jeddah webstream either. Also seemed to be a jammer on the channel at this time. [Hall-Patch]

1089 UNITED KINGDOM TalkSport synchros  NOV 6 0500 - Stations broke away from network for local messages. On top was a message about Victoria Bus Station and navigating the streets of London. After more quick ads, returned to network with synchro echo, "...on TalkSport Talk Radio." [Conti] NOV 10 1903 - Already strong at 3:00 p.m. local, with multiple transmitters not quite in sync, so producing an interesting echo effect. 8 sites noted between 40 watts up to 400 kW. Parallel 1053 is marred by Libya off-frequency co-channel, 1071 is very weak, as is 1107 with co-channels. [Salmaniw] NOV 11 0859 - Good with loud synchro echo; Sport Breakfast on TalkSport. [Conti]

1098 SAUDI ARABIA SBC R.Jeddah, Dammam  NOV 6 2100 - Good over Spain; news with with stingers between items, not parallel 1440 kHz which seemed to have a different news broadcast. [Conti] NOV 11 0050 - Soft voiced man in Arabic usually below Spain, but seemed parallel to http://apps.sbc.sa/channel/index/12, also at 0247 Arabic chanting parallel Jeddah webstream. [Hall-Patch]

1107 UNITED KINGDOM TalkSport synchros  NOV 10 0900 - I've noted on TalkSport channels local ads before the TOH and over the TOH local ads. Nothing to really ID. Noted the same on 1089 kHz. [Salmaniw]

1161 UNITED KINGDOM BBC Sussex, Bexhill  NOV 9 0100 - Heard BBC news mention at 0103 and 0105, and was parallel 693 but offset enough to make it difficult to make the connection. Fair at times. [Hall-Patch]

1161 UNITED KINGDOM Tay 2, Dundee  NOV 8 2200 - Over another UK signal; "On AM, online, and on your smart phone, this is Tay 2, news," and then echoey news (Viking 2 delay echo?) parallel 1152 Clyde 2. [Conti] NOV 9 2217 - Excellent reception playing 'the greatest love songs until 1'. ID'd just now as Tay 2. Around the table, Nick mentions he heard Viking 2 last night, and I'm also hearing the BBC at times on this channel, with programming "across the south." So presumably BBC Sussex with 1 kW from Bexhill-on-Sea. [Salmaniw]

1161 UNITED KINGDOM Viking 2, Hull NOV 9 0102 - Pop music mostly under BBC Sussex seemed to be from Viking 2, per webstream http://radioplayer.viking2.co.uk/live, fair at times. Had checked Tay 2 webstream just before, and it had a man talking. [Hall-Patch]

[Hall-Patch] NOV 9 2241 - Excellent reception with easy listening music, and a nice ID. What an evening! Superb reception, and the static is very manageable! [Salmaniw]

1206 GREECE R.Babis, Athens  NOV 12 0233 - Highly tentative. We battled with this frequency all evening. Never very strong, but would occasionally rise. Mostly non-stop music, but with occasional speech, including a very brief mention a few minutes ago. The style to me of broadcasting is very much Greek pirate, but have no idea to be honest. I'll post the brief audio clip at RealDX and see if anyone has any ideas. I tried the UTwente SDR but nothing heard there on repeated attempts, and apparently also not heard on an Italian SDR site. A mystery! [Salmaniw]

Bruce Conti heard them earlier at strong level at 21:00 UTC. I'll need to look at my recordings from earlier today! Playing folk music. Five transmitters listed between 0.5, 2, 5 or 10 kW. Much stronger a few minutes later when rechecked at 23:06. [Salmaniw]

1242 UNITED KINGDOM Absolute Radio synchros  NOV 7 0323 - Joan Jett & The Blackheart's "I Love Rock 'n Roll". Parallel to 1215 kHz. [Wolfish]

1251 HUNGARY MR Dánko Rádío, Szombathely//Nyíregyháza  NOV 10 0342 - Fair to good reception with classical music, and parallel www.mediaklikk.hu/danko-radio-elo web stream. [Salmaniw]

1251 IRAN IRIB R.Iran, Kiashahr  NOV 6 2100 - Weak but alone; flute music parallel 972 and 1503 kHz. [Conti] NOV 9 2319 - A difficult catch due to splatter, but definitely parallel much strong 1503 kHz. Easy listening music, a female announcer. [Salmaniw] NOV 9 2325 - Fading up to fair signal with man singing, Middle Eastern instrumentals parallel 1503 with 1251 leading by a couple of seconds. [Hall-Patch]

1251 UNITED KINGDOM Smooth Radio, Bury St. Edmunds  NOV 7 2103 - Laid back vocals parallel 1359 poor strength, fading up to fair from under Iran. [Hall-Patch]

1260 SPAIN SER Algeciras//Murcia  NOV 8 2000 - Under/over CKHJ; "En Cadena Ser..." [Conti]

1278 IRAN IRIB R.Iran/R.Kermanshah, Kermanshah  NOV 6 0220 - Quiet piano music. Woman with two "Radio Kermansha" ID's. Then what sounded like a different woman ID'ing and introducing a program with more traditional sounding Middle Eastern music. [Wolfish] NOV 6 2100 - Fair in 1270 CJCB splatter; mentions of Tehran and R.Iran, vocal with flute accompaniment, parallel strong 1503 kHz. [Conti] NOV 9 2339 - Pretty sure this is Iran, but a difficult channel due to splatter. Mostly poor to fair, but did come up to good level with talk in presumed Farsi. I've been unable to find any decent on-line live feeds. Bruce earlier heard them parallel 1503, but not certain whether it's the case now or not. [Salmaniw]

1278 UKRAINE Ukrainian Radio 1, Odesa-Petrivka  NOV 8 2007 - Persha Prohama (1st program), finally audible on the third day. In PEI, it's a difficult channel due to splatter from 1270 CJCB Sydney, Nova Scotia. Lots of splatter, but clearly in Ukrainian. Much weaker than the blowtorch on 1431 kHz! [Salmaniw] NOV 10 2059 - Fair in 1270 CJCB splatter; sign-off announcement mentioned Ukraine and URL, light jazz instrumental, then off, leaving presumed Iran alone on the frequency. [Conti] NOV 11 2040 - The best heard during this DXpedition. 1270 is a local station which splatters a lot, but this afternoon, with our most modest antenna, reception is actually good at times, and clearly parallel to 1431 in Russian, so it's not the 1st domestic program, but the external service to Crimea in Russian. Vlad Titarev tells me as well that it's 1 minute out of sync with 1431, so not to be fooled. [Salmaniw]

1296 SPAIN COPE Valencia  NOV 7 0600 - Over low-level subaudible het; "92.6 y 93.4 FM, onda media 1296, Cope Valencia," and time marker. [Conti]

1296 SUDAN SNBC Reiba  NOV 6 2156 - Woman in Arabic parallel 765, fair level. [Hall-Patch]

1296 UNITED KINGDOM Radio XL, Birmingham  NOV 7 2200 - Fading up to good level over low-level subaudible het; "On 1296 AM, this is Radio XL," into news in brief, at end of news, "That's the latest..." and "1296 AM, Radio XL" jingle into ads. [Conti] NOV 7 2303 - Good reception with ID and travel ad for Canada, Dubai, etc. Co-channel off-channels. I do see 3 carriers on 1296.063 (causing the buzz, COPE transmitter?), 1296.002, and 1295.994 kHz. Very nice at 23:10, parallel to their internet feed. Seems a South Asian station. Using LSB makes it a lot easier to hear both stations (confirmed Spain the other one I'm hearing). By adjusting the bandwidth, I can minimize the Spaniard. [Salmaniw]

1305 SPAIN RNE5 Bilbao  NOV 8 0650 - ID by man: "Radio Nacional de España, Pais Vasco." [Wolfish]

1314 IRAN IRIB R.Iran, Ardabil  NOV 6 2100 - Under Spain with subaudible het; vocal with flute parallel 1278 and 1503 kHz. Measured offset frequency 1313.981 kHz, with RNE5 Cuenca at 1313.997 kHz. [Conti]

1314 ROMANIA R.Oltenia Craiova, Craiova  NOV 7 2000 - Under Spain; sign-off test tone. NOV 8 2000 - Under Spain; sign-off test tone, presumed Craiova rather than Antena Satelor which is listed 24h. [Conti]

1314 SPAIN RNE5 Castilla y León, Salamanca  NOV 7 0625 - ID: "Radio Nacional de España, Castilla y León." [Wolfish]

1323 ROMANIA R.Târgu Mures, Târgu Mures  NOV 8 2000 - Sign-off test tone parallel 1593 kHz. NOV 10 1959 - Good; "Radio Târgu Mures România... Programa Radio Târgu Mures..." frequencies in kilohertz and megahertz, then short test tone and off, parallel 1197 kHz. Listen to mp3 audio clip. [Conti]

1323 UNITED KINGDOM Smooth Radio, Brighton  NOV 6 2301 - Fair; "This is Smooth Radio..." and "Babe I Love You" by Styx, parallel 1359 kHz. [Conti] NOV 8 0038 - A pretty tough catch, but fair at times playing "How Long" by Ace. Confirmed by the website stream (although fibbed that I was located in the UK, or Gibraltar in my case!). Not bad for 0.5 kW. Many parallels listed. 1332 Peterborough at 0.6 kW immediately heard at same fair level, with 'Holding Back the Years' by Simply Red. 1359 with an ad listed as either Chelmsford (.28 kW) or Cardiff with 0.2 kW. NOV 10 0003 - A tough catch, but faded up to fair level, then down, but still able to ascertain parallel to online feed. Not bad at all! [Salmaniw] NOV 10 2200 - Fair; "On FM, online, on your mobile, and on digital radio, this is Smooth," into news. [Conti]

1332 CZECH REPUBLIC Ceský Rozhlas, Moravské Budejovice  NOV 9 2100 - Fair; "Ceský Rozhlas Dvojka" and brief musical interlude into news, parallel 954 kHz. [Conti] NOV 10 0009 - Fair reception in Czech, but faded down, and when next faded up I'm next hearing R.România Actualitati. I don't think I was mistaken about the Czech station, though. Checked for parallel on 639 and 954, but no luck. [Salmaniw] NOV 10 0259 - Parallel to 954 with Elton John's "Sacrifice". Then sounder, ID by woman and news read by woman. Over Romania. [Wolfish] NOV 10 1959 - Woman singing parallel 954 then fanfare on hour fair to good on both; soon taken over by Spain. [Hall-Patch]

1332 UNITED KINGDOM Smooth Radio, Peterborough  NOV 8 0653 - Playing Blondie's "The Tide Is High" parallel 1557 kHz. [Wolfish]

1341 EGYPT ERTU Cairo  NOV 9 2100 - Under BBC R.Ulster; Big Ben chimes. Three separate ERTU channels on four stations here, presumed Cairo with 100 kW, rather than Idfu/Siwa or Bawiti with 10 kW each. [Conti]

1341 KUWAIT R.Kuwait Quran, Magwa  NOV 7 0123 - Tentative; melismatic Arabic singing under BBC, fair; but with Spanish there as well... Egypt's al-Quran program not on until 0200, plus this was not parallel 864, nor parallel 1503 so unlikely to be Iran either. [Hall-Patch]

1341 NORTHERN IRELAND BBC R.Ulster, Lisnagarvey  NOV 6 0900 - Very good reception announcing 98 95 FM and 1341, "This is BBC Radio Ulster." NOV 7 1701 - Best of the MW already propagating before 17:00 UTC (1:00 p.m. local). The UK has just entered darkness, but we're 3-3/4 hours away from darkness. A good start! NOV 7 2355 - Very strong reception of 'News 5 minutes before midnight'. Local news. Tonight it's either UK stations or Spain which are dominating. Lots of atmospheric crashes, as there are thunder storms off the Atlantic seaboard to our southeast. Made things difficult today. End of programming at midnight, and went over to Radio 5 Live relay. [Salmaniw] NOV 8 1120 - Man talking, weak, but sounded English, fading up to solo trumpet music. This was 20 minutes after PEI sunrise, but more to the point, over 3 hours after Ulster sunrise. Audio also noted at various times in the hour before local sunrise from the Brits on 909, 1089, and 1215 and the Spaniard on 1413 kHz. [Hall-Patch] NOV 10 1000 - Good; telephone talk, host introduces news, "It's 10 o'clock, time for news from the BBC," canned ID, "On 92 to 95 FM and 1341 medium wave, this is BBC Radio Ulster," and news from the BBC newsdesk. [Conti] NOV 11 0359 - Strong; female announcer leading into news at 0400, with lead story about the death of Leonard Cohen. [Taylor]

1350 ITALY I Am Radio, Milano  NOV 7 1958 - Fair; "You're listening to I Am Radio, I Am Radio, I Am Radio," and disco music. NOV 9 2157 - Over/under CKAD and CBSI-14 (CBC French station); man in Italian, disco music through the hour including "Gloria" by Laura Branigan and the extended version of "Jungle Boogie" by Kool & the Gang. Read reports that this semi-pirate was to increase power to 50 kW. [Conti]

1359 ETHIOPIA Voice of the Tigray Revolution, Mekele  NOV 6 0258 - Interval signal noted. [Wolfish] NOV 9 1950 - Good in lightning noise; repetitive African vocals with guitar and drumming. NOV 10 1958 - Over/under Smooth Radio; Ethiopian flute music. [Conti]

1368 EGYPT ERTU El Kharga  NOV 6 2100 - Poor through Manx Radio; Big Ben chimes parallel 819 kHz. [Conti]

1368 ISLE OF MAN Manx Radio, Foxdale-Douglas  NOV 6 0237 - Whitney Houston's "Saving All My Love For You", spot, ID: "Broadcasting... from Isle of Man, this is Manx Radio," into news. [Wolfish] NOV 6 0900 - Nice ID at 09:00, including 'Isle of Man'. Fair reception. Probably commonly heard, but still a thrill for me, a west coast DXer! [Salmaniw] NOV 8 0100 - Good; "Broadcasting from Douglas in Isle of Man... this is Manx Radio," into Sky news. [Conti] NOV 9 0200 - "Broadcasting from the Isle of Man, this is Manx Radio." Good reception if not for the static crashes here. NOV 10 0019 - Good reception, playing 'Party Like a Russian'. [Salmaniw]

1377 ARMENIA TWR Gavar  NOV 6 1957 - End of program in unID language. Man giving email address cut off by TWR interval signal. [Wolfish] NOV 8 2001 - Under Tanzania; TWR interval signal. NOV 10 2000 - Good; lively ethnic music cut to one cycle of TWR interval signal, then off. However, at 2001, the signal returned at a much weaker level with several repeats of the TWR interval signal. [Conti]

1377 TANZANIA R.Free Africa, Mwanza  NOV 5 2331 - Excellent reception; call in show with many mentions of the phone number, hip hop music, Radio Free Africa and RFA ID's. All this using Nick Hall-Patch's D-Kaz aimed 60°. Incredible reception. Lots of English, but with presumed Swahili otherwise? [Salmaniw] NOV 6 0100 - Fair in lightning noise; African highlife music, promo/announcements in Swahili with many "Radio Free Africa" ID's. [Conti] NOV 8 2044 - Nice ID at this time. Not the easiest channel, and a lot of static crashes today, but clear ID. [Salmaniw]

1386 EGYPT ERTU Al-Quran al-Karim, Luxor NOV 9 0151 - Quranic chanting parallel 864, under R.Svobooda (Lithuania), poor to fair. [Hall-Patch] NOV 9 2100 - In 1390 WEGP splatter; Koran parallel 864 kHz. [Conti]

1386 LITHUANIA R.Baltic Waves, Sitkunai  NOV 7 0014 - With Radio Svoboda (Liberty) relay at excellent level with program in Russian. A very nice variety program. Seems a lot more interesting compared to VOA Russian. [Salmaniw] NOV 8 0058 - Good; Radio Journal in unID language, then Radio Svoboda in Russian. [Conti] NOV 10 0026 - Very strong reception of Radio Liberty's Russian service. Excellent modulation. They punch much higher than their 75 kW! [Salmaniw]

Measured on slightly off frequency of 1394.950 kHz. [Salmaniw]

Nick works on moving the D-Kaz, and the rat's nest of wires at the monitoring post.

1404 GREECE ERA Komotini  NOV 6 0059 - Fair in 1400 CBG splatter; traditional Greek music. NOV 7 0400 - Poor; jazz instrumental up to the hour, signature "Tsopanakos Imouna" flute music of ERT/Voice of Greece followed by choral national anthem, parallel 1512 kHz. [Conti] NOV 8 0202 - Nice Greek music up to the TOH, then time pips and brief Greek announcements, followed by piano music. Good reception. NOV 10 0039 - Unable to find an internet feed but Nick confirms this to be Greek. Initially with bag-pipes like instrument, then ongoing talk. Not their Proto program in any case. Good level at times. Nick confirms that it is the Voice of Greece. [Salmaniw]

1404 ROMANIA R.România Actualitati, Sibiu  NOV 9 2100 - In 1400 CBG splatter; "Radio România Actualitati, hora exacta..." [Conti]

1413 MOLDOVA Vesti FM, Grigoriopol  NOV 7 0045 - Dominating now for some time, with weather and an ad for an upcoming fishing program. At 00:57 now hearing Spain co-channel. Good to very good at times. [Salmaniw] NOV 7 0100 - Over/under Spain; touchtone phone sound effects and "novosti." NOV 9 2100 - Over/under Spain; choral national anthem. [Conti] NOV 10 0042 - Very strong, but a minute or two ago, there was a music segment, which was likely from RNE5. Not so fast. At 00:44, music (in English) faded back up. Yes, confirmed RNE5 from 00:45. [Salmaniw] NOV 10 2000 - Through Spain; choral Russia national anthem. [Conti]

1413 OMAN BBC A'Seela  NOV 7 0000 - Co-channel, just before the TOH with Grigoriopol in Russian, but soon dominated with BBC gongs and into listed Dari. Vesti back to dominate as I type this at 00:45. [Salmaniw]

1431 DJIBOUTI R.Sawa, Arta  NOV 7 2124 - With Ukraine having signed off, Sawa is dominating the channel with a powerful signal, although co-channel others. Several times there were some girls chatting in what sounded a bit like a south Asian language. No time pips heard at the BOH, which I gather should be present with Iran. [Salmaniw]

1431 UKRAINE R.Ukraine International, Mykolaiv  NOV 6 2000 - Excellent reception in Russian to Crimea, with occasional fade-ups from R.Sawa in Djibouti. Impressive signal. No luck this afternoon on Ukrainian Radio's 1278 transmitter yet. Continues to 21:00 sign-off. NOV 7 1712 - Already heard at fair to good level in Russian, despite 3-1/2 hours still to our local sunset! Pretty impressive! Mentions of Debaltsyve (an important railway junction in Donbas where hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers died after being guaranteed an exit corridor by the Russian invaders immediately after the signing of the Minsk 2 aggreements). An hour later, at excellent level. [Salmaniw] NOV 8 1959 - Good; "www tochka (point)... tochka ua," instrumental interlude, "Radio Ukrainia... www tochka... tochka ua..." and "novosti" news. [Conti]

First discovered by Niel on NOV 11 and unequivocally by Walt and Niel on NOV 8 before finding this upon review of spectrum captures. [Conti] NOV 8 2000 - Woman in heavy African-accented English through co-channel Saudi Arabia, 2101 sign-off with national anthem. [Salmaniw/Wolfish]

1440 SAUDI ARABIA SBC R.Riyadh, Ras al-Khair  NOV 6 0100 - Good; rapid-fire news items separated by attention signals, parallel 594, 675, 1071, and 1467 kHz. [Conti] NOV 6 0258 - Over WRED with man in Arabic talking over classical music. News at hourtop with bits of fanfare between headlines. Parallel to a weaker 1449 kHz. [Wolfish] NOV 7 2123 - What 1521 used to sound like, has been replaced by this mega kilowatt monster. Extremely strong, and totally dominating the channel! [Salmaniw]

1458 GIBRALTAR R.Gibraltar, Wellington Front  NOV 5 2355 - Very nice reception, and parallel internet feed, but of course, fading down and now co-channel to several other stations. Time check for 12:00 in English, so likely a UK station. But came back with a nice 'Radio Gibralatar' jingle ID at 00:02. [Salmaniw] NOV 11 0001 - Atop with R.Gibraltar jingle and pop music. [Conti]

1458 ROMANIA R.România Actualitati, Constanta  NOV 10 2000 - Over/under Lyca Radio; "Radio România Actualitati, hora exacta," and time marker. [Conti]

[Conti] NOV 10 0107 - Jingle ID, co-channel with Romania. Not terribly strong despite the 125 kW. Followed by Indian music, by 0110, R.România Actualitati dominated. [Salmaniw]

1458 UNITED KINGDOM BBC R.Cumbria, Whitehaven  NOV 6 0900 - A tentative logging. I could hear a BBC ID, and 'From the heart of Liverpool'. Three English BBC networks are listed, BBC R.Newcastle, BBC R.Devon, and BBC R.Cumbria. The latter is closest to Liverpool. [Salmaniw] NOV 7 1900 - Hourtop ID. Soon outfaded to Gold. [Wolfish]

1458 UNITED KINGDOM Gold, Ashton Moss  NOV 7 1903 - Upfaded over BBC R.Cumbria with Paul McCartney's "Jet". It in turn soon outfaded leaving behind Romania and Lyca Radio. [Wolfish] NOV 10 0900 - Jingle ID into news. Fair reception, co-channel with other UK stations. [Salmaniw]

1467 FRANCE TWR Roumoules  NOV 6 2300 - Good; one cycle of TWR interval signal, then off, leaving Saudi Arabia in clear. [Conti] NOV 7 2114 - Excellent reception with TWR interval signal, and into Kabyle. What brought me here was that Saudi Arabia is here parallel to 945, which I've been listening to for the past 1/2 hour. Easily heard co-channel. Sorry, I'm not sure what Kabyle is. Got it, looked it up: A Berber language spoken in the north and north-east of Algeria. SBC R.Riyadh is at Hafar al-Batin with 50 kW. [Salmaniw]

1467.37 IRAN IRIB R.Qom, Qom  NOV 6 0100 - Loud het against 1467 Saudi Arabia. [Conti] NOV 10 0114 - Way off channel, but still dominating.

1485 SPAIN SER R.Santander, Soto de la Marina  NOV 7 0621 - End of phone interview. Then, "En la Cadena Ser, hoy por hoy," followed by "Hoy por hoy Santander." Local spots. At least one more SER outlet in behind this one. [Wolfish]

1485 UNITED KINGDOM BBC4 Carlisle  NOV 10 0132 - Relaying the BBC World Service, parallel 198, at fair level, but soon pushed out by Spain. Could still hear the BBC in the background, but then I checked and this time it was parallel to BBC Radio 5 Live feed, making it from either BBC R.Humberside in Hull with 2 kw, BBC R.Merseyside in Wallasey with 2 kw, or BBC Sussex in Brighton, with 1 kW. My head is spinning! [Salmaniw]

1485 UNITED KINGDOM BBC R.Merseyside, Wallasey  NOV 6 0258 - Radio 5 Live with Neil Diamond's "America". Parallel to 1341 kHz. Mixing with SER. NOV 7 0623 - Upfaded over Spain with ID, "BBC Radio Merseyside," after they had played Paul McCartney's "Another Day".

Laser Hot Hits short wave announced on its Facebook wall, "We are on 1494 kHz MW - Stewart Ross live after 9 p.m. tonight." [Conti] NOV 10 2052 - "Laser Hot Hits" jingle into "Midnight Train to Georgia" by Gladys Knight & the Pips. [Salmaniw] NOV 10 2200 - Good; "On shortwave and online at Laser Hot Hits dot co dot UK, this is the Short Wave Legend," into news headlines, "From... news in Washington," then promo and back to music, "Who plays the best variety of music and more of it?

1512 GREECE ERA Proto Programma, Hania  NOV 7 0400 - Poorly modulated signal or through a strong open carrier; jazz instrumental up to the hour, "Tsopanakos Imouna" signature interval signal flute music of ERT/Voice of Greece followed by choral national anthem, parallel 1404 kHz. [Conti] NOV 9 2008 - Nick pointed out this very strange programming. After a search, we were able to conclude that it was from Greece, and likely the Proto Programma. Good to very good reception at times. Presumably the 1000 kW Saudi came up a few minutes later (1000 kW from Jeddah). [Salmaniw] NOV 9 2046 - Jazz below Iran turned out to be this. Followed by Greek talk, and different sorts of jolly Greek music parallel http://webradio.ert.gr/i-foni-tis-elladas; sometimes becoming quite good strength and dominant. [Hall-Patch]

1512 IRAN IRIB R.Ardabil, Ardabil  NOV 9 2000 - Over/under Saudi Arabia and Greece; interval signal-like music parallel 1197 kHz. [Conti]

1512 SAUDI ARABIA SBC R.Quran, Jeddah  NOV 10 0147 - Under-modulated, with Quranic chants. Some 1510 splatter, but otherwise pretty strong. [Salmaniw] NOV 11 0200 - Good; Koran parallel 765 kHz. [Conti]

1530 SAO TOME E PRINCIPE VOA Pinheira  NOV 6 0258 - Yankee Doodle, and into VOA ID at 03:00 and English news. Co-channel 15 kW Romania. Sometimes one stronger, and sometimes the other, but mostly the edge to STP. Good reception. [Salmaniw] NOV 6 2000 - Over Romania and UK; "It's Music Time in Africa... This is the English Africa service... from the Voice of America in Washington." [Conti] NOV 7 0300 - Very strong reception tonight compared to last night with Yankee Doodle starting at 02:58, and into English with Daybreak Africa. Romania only weakly heard. NOV 7 2018 - Very nice African 'High Life' music, parallel to the VOA internet feed. Often at armchair level, with occasional co-channel(s), especially Romania and Madeira. The VOA feed is www.voanews.com/t/60.html. [Salmaniw] NOV 10 2200 - Over UK; "The home of the hits, the VOA One network," and sign-off, "This is the Voice of America, Washington DC, signing off. For information regarding the times and frequencies of VOA programs, write to Program Schedule, Voice of America, Washington DC 20547, or you may get a schedule from the nearest American cultural center or United States Information Service in your country."

1530 UNITED KINGDOM Pulse 2, Huddersfield  NOV 6 0257 - Under Romania with ID: "The greatest hits of all time, this is Pulse 2," and Bob Marley's "No Woman No Cry".

[Salmaniw] NOV 10 2300 - Over Romania; "DAB digital radio, online at Pulse 2 dot co dot UK, 1278 and 1530 medium wave, across West Yorkshire, this is Pulse 2," into Sky news. [Conti]

1539 SPAIN SER R.Manresa, Manresa  NOV 6 1930 - Fair, over co-channel SER R.Elche; "Sintonisa Barranilla(?), un programa... Radio Manresa." Barranilla spelling probably incorrect. Unable to find local program schedules for SER affiliates on the internet to get correct program name. [Conti]

1548 MOLDOVA TWR Grigoriopol  NOV 7 1801 - Good reception at 18:00 with listed Bulgarian, but did fade a bit within a minute. On recheck at 18:32, R.Sawa (Kuwait), presumed, is very strong and totally dominating. Maybe not so fast. Not parallel to the internet feed, so perhaps Iran? But within a minute, TWR dominates again, this time in. [Salmaniw] NOV 8 2000 - Good; one cycle of TWR interval signal, then off. [Conti] NOV 10 1912 - Endtail of Romanian program with Bucharest address given, then TWR interval signal. Mixing with Gold. [Wolfish] NOV 10 2000 - Good; TWR interval signal and off. [Conti]

1548 SCOTLAND Forth 2, Edinburgh  NOV 9 2256 - Various spots, "Your greatest hits, Forth 2" ID. Mixing with Gold. [Wolfish] NOV 10 0900 - "This is Forth 2 with the latest news next." A tough copy. Into news. Fair with lots of splatter. Local ads before the TOH with mentions of Scotland. Local news after the TOH, with mentions of Edinburgh. [Salmaniw]

1548 UNITED KINGDOM Gold, London  NOV 6 0022 - "The greatest hits of all time, this is Gold," followed by Glen Frey's "The Heat Is On" and "Airport" by The Motors. [Wolfish] NOV 8 0200 - Good; "On AM, digital radio, digital TV, and on the mobile, playing the greatest hits of all time," and "This is Gold" jingle into news. [Conti] NOV 10 0201 - ID clearly as, "This is Gold from Global, 60s, 70s and 80s, all night long." Seems to be other co-channels, very much like TIS frequency of 1610 stateside. A real mish-mash. Fair reception. [Salmaniw]

1550 ALGERIA RASD Rabouni  NOV 8 2000 - Good; contemporary African vocal, time pips at 2001 into news. [Conti]

Then an interesting sounding interval signal twice (not the usual TWR), and into an English ID as TWR Benin. Rapidly faded down into oblivion. [Salmaniw]

1566 NETHERLANDS Vahon Hindustani Radio, Den Haag  NOV 6 2001 - Fading over BBC Somerset; man in Dutch, then a nostalgic-sounding subcontinental vocal. [Conti]

1566 UNITED KINGDOM BBC Somerset, Taunton  NOV 6 0047 - Johnny Nash's "I Can See Clearly Now" and Bob Dylan song. [Wolfish] NOV 8 2234 - Heard BBC mentions so checked www.bbc.co.uk/radio/player/bbc_radio_somerset_sound 2236-7 and music indeed was parallel and a little offset from webstream, fair to good at times. [Hall-Patch]

1566 UNITED KINGDOM Premier Christian Radio, Guildford-Peasmarsh  NOV 6 0043 - Upfaded over BBC; "Premier Christian Radio" ID by man and Christian music. [Wolfish] NOV 7 2148 - Good reception briefly until TWR Africa regained dominance just before 21:50. English religious talk. [Salmaniw]

1575 ITALY Rai Radiouno, Genova  NOV 7 0459 - Over/under Spain; pre sign-on tones and data burst, "Rai" ID. NOV 8 0600 - Good; data burst, marker and time check into news. [Conti] NOV 7 2233 - Totally dominating for a few minutes, then back to a more Arabic sounding station. Good level while it lasted! Lively female announcer. NOV 9 2143 - Definitely the afternoon of Italian stations at very good level, totally dominating the frequency. [Salmaniw]

1575 UNITED ARAB EMIRATES R.Farda, Al Dhabiya  NOV 6 0258 - Over SER; man in Farsi talking over the hourtop with Pink Floyd music "Time" in the background. [Wolfish] NOV 8 1928 - Nice ID at 1928 for Radio Farda, and into a male vocal accompanied by a piano. Very good, but obvious there are a number of co-channels. [Salmaniw]

1584 CEUTA RadiOlé, Ceuta  NOV 6 0030 - Good, over SER Spain; Middle Eastern influenced vocal, brief dead air, time pips, and RadiOlé jingle. Listen to mp3 audio clip. [Conti]

1677 SPAIN La Coruña Coast Guard Radio  NOV 11 2311 - Just signing off in Spanish at good/very good level with maritime weather.

1718 unID  NOV 10 1947 - 1717.8 but with a variable transmitter. Drifted up to 1717.9 within a minute and 1717.96 a few minutes later. Seems identical to what I heard 3 years ago here! All of a sudden there must be at least 10 pirates above 1600 kHz! [Salmaniw]

Transpacific DX

1053 SOUTH KOREA Jammer  NOV 8 1038 - The distinctive whooshing sound made it to the Maritimes, first time in maybe 4 years since a previous DXpedition. This started to show up weakly 1033, then faded up 1036-38 UTC. Only Asian found, but 9 kHz channels were still occupied by primarily British signals travelling across the pond in broad daylight. Those didn't quit until nearly 20 minutes after local sunrise in PEI. [Hall-Patch]

1548 unID  NOV 8 1109 - Man talking very weakly, but given there were British signals coming in, could it be UK? At 1111 Gold UK was running music per its webstream, and all the British stations are slightly below nominal per the MWoffsets list. The dominant signal on 1548, by 10dB, was at about 1548.010 kHz which aligns well with 4QD's offset. Although this offset was visible most mornings during the rest of the DX'pedition, the 8th had the closest to audio. [Hall-Patch]

1638 unID  NOV 8 1103 - Woman talking very weakly 1104-1105, also 1107 man talking, music 1109, and man talking again 1117 UTC. But, always very weak to near imaginary. One of the Aussies seems a possibility but nothing like an ID. Frequency offsets were observed at 6, 8 and 12 Hertz below nominal, and there are several Aussies that are somewhat low in frequency listed in MWoffsets. [Hall-Patch]
