** ARGENTINA [non]. Surprise, 6060, Dec 3 at 0115, RHC has reactivated
here in Spanish, and no sign of WRMI relay of RAE in Spanish which has
been here for a month with no RHC collision. WRMI must have been aware
of this before and quickly turned off. Maybe it will go back to 5800,
but not enough signal there now to tell, and all the other WRMI
frequencies seem nominal, except 7570 is missing. 4980 also has not
been resumed.
9395, UT Tue Dec 3 at 0203, RAE via WRMI relay in English, announcer
confused, claiming the time for this is ``1 AM UTC Tuesday-Saturday``;
and playing music at outset rather than news. At 0211, feature about
Argentine rock, not the DX Actuality program I was anticipating, so
apparently the Monday, not Friday show (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6060, Dec 3 at 0115, surprise, RHC has reactivated here as
published for B-19, but not in use before now as WRMI had overtaken it
at 2100-0200 including RAE relay after 0100 --- but tonight there is
no sign of WRMI/RAE here or anywhere, as if they coordinated quitting
6060 as soon as RHC returned? RHC is S9+20/30 and // 11760. 6060 is
still on at 0508 & 0550 but in Spanish, not English.
5040, Dec 3 at 0116, this RHC is off again. Back on in Spanish with
squeals at 0546. Something`s always wrong at RHC.
6100, Dec 3 at 0547, RHC English best here by far, then 6145, then
6000 which is suptorted; 6060 reactivated but still in Spanish,
likewise 5040; maybe one or both became in English after 0600?

COVER STORY: Preparing the next generation of GPS | Watch Video
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/global-positioning-system-preparing-the-next-generation-of-gps/
Originally developed by the U.S. military, the Global Positioning
System (GPS) as we now know it became operational in 1995, and has
since become vital to nearly every facet of modern life, from our
smartphones to the internet and the electrical grid. David Pogue was
invited into the Air Force's GPS Master Control Station at Schriever
Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colo, and visits Lockheed Martin,
where a new generation of GPS III satellites is being built.

** U S A. 7490, Dec 3 at 0113, no signal from WBCQ, suspected OFF
rather than merely not propagating; but S-S on 9330 is weak, and 5130
is off as normal. Still no activity on 6160 which might have worked
better than 7490.
WBCQ 7490 webcast is running as usual with `From the Isle of Music`
here anyway. When I opened Winamp at 0125 it was already ``tuned`` to
my surprise, to `WJNE FM 87.9 Claggettsville`. Zappahead is involved
in that so must be what listening to Area 51 last night have morphed
into (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7570, Dec 3 at 0112, this WRMI is off, some #11 transmitter
problem, but back on with TOMBS at 0209 check.

Okeechobee. They are holding an award presented to the station by the
Brazilian DX Club Sem Fronteiras. Shortwave listeners from many
countries who took part in the Club's contest elected WRMI as the
"Best Shortwave Station." They also elected Dino Bloise as the "Best
Shortwave Personality" and WRMI's Viva Miami as the "Best Variety
Program on Shortwave." ¡Muito obrigado!``
That survey of course is skewed against anything in English (Glenn
