** BRAZIL. 11905-11910-11915-DRM, Dec 10 at 0300, Nacional FM 96.1
music is still the modulation on the RNA test, VG into Bonaire SDR
with an S/N fluxuating around 20 dB. Four hours earlier it was not
decoding (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 396-MCW, Dec 10 at 0724 UT, dash and YPH, which is 500-watt
NDB at Inukjuak, Quebec. I last logged it at 0759 UT Nov 29, 2019 when
I researched it: ``on the east shore of Hudson Bay, 2845 km = 1768
statute miles from me. `Inukjuak is a northern village located on
Hudson Bay at the mouth of the Innuksuak River in Nunavik, in the
Nord-du-Québec region of northern Quebec, Canada. Its population is
1,757 as of the 2016 Canadian Census. An older spelling is
Inoucdjouac; its former name was Port Harrison. Wikipedia``` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** COLOMBIA? 4940, Dec 10 at 0346, VG via Bonaire SDR, anonymous
mystery missionary station, reportedly carrying webcast of Fuerza de
Paz Radio. Here it is for further comparison:

but it is *not* the same when I check now, one in music, the other in
talk; or far out of snych (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUATEMALA. 4055, Thu Dec 10 at 0556, no signal from TGAV Radio
Verdad, before nominal sign-off circa 0610 except earlier UT Mondays.
Also as of Dec 10, Rick Barton in AZ says he has not heard it since
1100 Dec 2.

We keep getting notices from Dr Madrid about his audiovideos on
Youtube, which appear to be his priority, but nothing about the SW
being down. There was however news about this Dec 5 on Cadena DX FB:

``Édgar Amílcar Madrid Morales December 4 at 11:53 AM --- ``DISCULPAS
El transmisor de Radio Verdad se quemó. Estoy intentando repararlo con
la ayuda de Dios. Ahora transmitimos por Internet`` as forwarded Dec 5
by:

``Jose Hernandez Madrid shared a post. December 5 at 2:43 PM --- Nos
informa el amigo Édgar Amílcar Madrid Morales, que Radio Verdad, está
fuera del aire en Banda Tropical, por los 4055 Khz, por avería grave
en el transmisor.``

Spanish ``se quemó`` = it burned itself, but is that more like English
burned up, or burned out --- not the same. He did say, trying to
repair it, and with god`s help, which implies it could be the former
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** INDIA. 11560, Dec 10 at 1524, S Asian music at S4-S6, so AIR is
modulating today unlike 25+ hours ago when John Figliozzi, Halfmoon
NY, was getting dead air at S9+20, 1415 when supposed to switch from
Dari to Pashto (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PUERTO RICO. 391-MCW kHz, Dec 10 at 0725 UT, NDB DDP which is 1000
watts from San Juan - Dorado. Always neat to hear this far one, often
absent from bandscans. Also audible when tuned to 389-USB. BTW, I
habitually tune downward, and may well doze off before I get to 200 or
even 300 kHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 410-MCW kHz, Dec 10 at 0716 UT, NDB BA which is 25 watts
from Columbus - Clifford, Indiana. Also heard when tuned to 408-USB;
and on 410 CCI from something weaker. There are lots listed on 410.

404-MCW kHz, Dec 10 at 0721 UT, NDB XCR which is 25 watts from Little
Falls - Camp Ripley, Minnesota

400-MCW kHz, Dec 10 at 0723 UT, NDB AHQ which is 25 watts from Wahoo,
Nebraska (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 475+ kHz, Dec 10 at 0714, WA4SZE BEACON is still active from
Dave Frantz at WWRB Manchester TN; very slow CW and stronger than the
NDBs lower.

Except for some birdies, there is quite a blank area below down to
426-MCW, where the UV beacon is heard again. 428 is the highest listed
conterminous US NDB channel, for POH in Arkansas. In between I think
it used to be a marine ship/shore CW band, apparently abandoned (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2063 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday December
9 from 2100:21 on WBCQ 7490.16v, S9+10/20, as always precisely timed
like that, and not last week`s show this week.

Also confirmed Wed Dec 9 at 2300 on WRMI 9955, VG S9+20/30 into
Bonaire SDR, with jamming under JBA.

Also confirmed UT Thu Dec 10 on WRMI 7780, S9 into UTwente SDR.

New WOR 2064 should be ready by early UT Fri Dec 11 for first
broadcasts at 0130 on WRMI 5850 & 5010 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Dec 10 at 1528, this WRMI-3 is still on with Jesus
song fill, but then Jeff White outros as having been Freedom Synergy
Radio and offering QSL for this on 5800 [sic] reporting to
radiomiami9@gmail.com. 1529 starts a couple words of Spanish, 1530
switches to Brother Scare with quite a buzz, now // 9455 with somewhat
less buzz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17775-, Dec 10 at 1518, no signal from KVOH; power still
shut off for fire danger? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Dec 10 at 0600:
531, 558, 612, 621, 693, 711, 774, 855, 882, 891 ... where I stopped.

Resuming at 0709-0713: 891, 909, 1044, 1053, 1089, 1098, 1107(2),
1116, 1215 and none higher (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4095.37, Dec 10 at 0557, constant JBA carrier; is that
the DW ``Desert Whooper`` beacon last reported slightly higher, and
not yet heard directly here? Or a local birdie. Joe Caberlin in
Ontario has been keeping after it via remotes in the West:

Dec 5, frequency not mentioned: ``Checked about 5 sdrs at 2055z and
the best signal was on KFS SDR, 69.27.184.58:8076 barely s 3 to 4. 73
Joe``

Dec 8: ``4095.8 lsb, transiting 60 pips per minute approximately;
transmitting about 60 dots per minute now. 1109 UT.
websdr3.sdrutah.org.8093 Northern Utah WebSDR - Server #3`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1900 UT December 10
