** BRAZIL. 11757.47 approx., Dec 3 at 2323, JBA carrier, presumably
latest skewage of R. Voz Missionária, nominal 11750 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** BRAZIL. 28411 USB, Dec 3 at 2307, PU2TWZ, in São Paulo, contacts
including WA4TW at 2308. QRZ.com: ``PU2TWZ Brazil flag Brazil,
Jroberto, ROBERTO "Roberto" LEONEL, Avenida Andorinha 182 Cep 13197428
Monte Mor, sp 55, Brazil`` - I thought he said name was Oscar but
maybe that was a contact.
28415 USB, Dec 3 at 2310, PY3ZA apparently contacting another
Brasilian. QRZ.com: ``PY3ZA Brazil flag Brazil, ALEXANDRE "XANDAO"
FOLATRE, RUA MARIA ODETE DE OLIVEIRA CHARAO 363, Alvorada, RS 94859060
Brazil`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) see also unID 25955 LSB

** CHILE. 28495 USB, Dec 3 at 2313, CE5VKK contacting KA9G. QRZ.com:
``CE5VKK Chile flag Chile, Boris Monares, Avda. 101 Condominio 1777,
Casa 6, Concepción 4030000, Chile`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. Dec 3 at 1950+ UT, driving around Enid checking the 93.1
dead air in $ tereo. Not just in my neighborhood, but seems stronger
circa downtown, so perhaps on the east side. At 2028 I`m at the
junxion of US 412 & US 81, where 1680 AM peaks, and now on 93.1 there
is some intermittent undermodulated Xmasmx, and at 2033. No modulation
at all from this until now. Seems to be from this transmitter rather
than an understation which would be more confusable on AM.
95.1, meanwhile is off while I am downtown, but later at 2028 seems to
cut on and off sporadically with music, again not like would be heard
from the real KS or OK fringers.
1680 kHz, Dec 3 at 2000 UT, hourtop ID as Virtual DJ Radio, into
Xmasmx medley starting with Jingle Bells (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** SPAIN. 12030, Wed Dec 3 at 2300, REE S7/10 direct off the back of
ME beam, and S9/+10 on 17715 aimed at S America, still no signal on
imaginary 9690 for N America. But as anticipated, NO ENGLISH, rather
Spanish program `La Sala` as on their advance schedule.
Ahead of time, I posted to the WOR indian ocean group: ``If it`s
Wednesday there must still not be any English from Spain. Advance
program sked for Thu 0000 local time shows something in Spanish; nor
Wednesday at 12 local.
https://www.rtve.es/play/guia-rne/radioexterior/manana/
nor any other time. And the last English podcast is still dated 19
Nov, with the two ex-announcers Amy & Marilyn still heading it:

Glenn``
Alan Roe replied: ``I have emailed englishbroadcast@rtve.es and
english@rtve.es to let them know that I am missing their English
programme and wondering what is happening. I'll let you know if I get
any reply. In the meanwhile, it wouldn't do any harm if other
listeners also wrote to those email addresses asking where English
programming is. Alan Roe, Teddington, UK``
I replied: ``I`ve finally just listened to the end of the last
podcast, Nov 19 starting about 55 minutes into the 62+ minute file,
``We`ll meet again...`` song. Marilyn does not say there would be two
new hosts the following week, but rather ``in future programs``. But
we should keep after them about this. Glenn``
And from Jean-Michel Aubier, France: ``The latest French-language
podcast was released on Nov 18. I also wrote to the team`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 5960, Dec 3 at 2259, no signal direct from VOT; at 2332,
not either into UTwente, just ChiCom stuff on 9610 as well.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 15016 USB, Dec 3 at 2302, USAF EAM crypto message with echo,
also on // 11175 USB & 8992 USB which have self-imposed? crackles and
less of an echo, more like reverb. Alfanumerix in progress, ending
with message had 164 characters, more than usual: we can only wonder
if this concern real current military operations rather than practice?
``This is start-gun, out`` Sounded like, not sure of ever-changing
tactical call, at 2304. But after a pause, starts all over, ``All
stations, this is Start-Gun``, twice; then intro as ``7D2LTJ, stand
by`` a few times before repeating the entire message starting with
those (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2323 monitoring: confirmed

** U S A. 9955, Wed Dec 3 at 2258, WRMI wrapping up `On the Media`
from WNYC, host appending request for input from SWLs in particular. I
regret not having tuned this every week; however someone reported that
the same episode was playing over and over week after week on WRMI. Is
that still the case? I`m afraid it is: WRMI server shows the only
episode was uploaded March 1, 2025! There are several other times for
it on the WRMI schedules (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** URUGUAY. 28395 USB, Dec 3 at 2307, CX7RM, fonetik ID in English,
heard again. QRZ.com: ``CX7RM Uruguay flag Uruguay, Pablo Goldaracena
Sommaruga, Pinares Calle Sagitario, Punta del Este 20005, Uruguay``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 25955 LSB, Dec 3 at 2316, correct frequency! apparent
