** CANADA. 7850 RCUSB, CHU still missing Jan 3, but Richard Langley,
NB replies to my last report:
https://nrc.canada.ca/en/chu-short-wave-station/
``I first noted it AWOL on Dec 31 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)``
``The page has now been updated and I received this message from the
technician in charge this morning: "Both 7 MHz transmitters had
failed, I am working on them now. I hope to get at least one
operational soon." -- Richard Langley``
7850 RC USB, my next check Jan 3 at 2143, CHU is back on, S9 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. 13550, Jan 3 at 1648, algo JBA QRMing CODAR, presumed CNR1
jammer which no longer infests 13530. Both are still in Aoki & EiBi as
*jammed SOH channels but only until 1600 or 1550 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** CUBA. 10080, Jan 3 at 2210, RHC Spanish at S9+10, yet again
mistuned up on second harmonic of 5040 where nothing detectable yet;
while 5025 Rebelde fundamental and no 10050, is JBA, only S7/S8.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NIGERIA. 7255-, Jan 3 at 0754, VON is S8/S9 but undermodulated.
Something`s abnormal at Abuja (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, Jan 3 at 1258 UT, I happen to awaken and hear
KUCO-FM playing module bit, `Bird Note` amid Kimberly`s Classical
Morning. Websked still not updated from former times M-F 7:06 am &
1:58 pm [1306 & 1958 UT]. More here and access to many more 2-minute
episodes:

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.002+, Jan 3 at 2258, VOT IS already playing,
not deferring to BBC Oman in English until 2359.5 on 5960; S9+20/35
into UTwente; 2300 opens with full English schedule in jumbled order,
then news. 2311 CCCCCCI starts from EAST TURKISTAN, std denunciation;
but VOT English remains well atop thru the hour. 2312-2315 `Review of
the Turkish Press` starting with record level of exports; 2318-2326
`Weekly Commentary` ``flight of fancy`` about a new Turkish-made
fighter jet; 2326-2328 multi-lingual ID filler reel; not paying
attention further until: 2351 s/off with full English sked again; 2353
IS and keeps playing until 2400 TS and spurious German hour starts,
right into news, still overriding XJPBS. I don`t keep on it to tell
how long something`s always erroneous in Emirler last this time (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 13563.5 CW, Jan 3 at 1649, JBA vs CODAR swirshes, PCO,
beacon ID repeating rapidly with hardly a pause, i.e. Pine, COlorado,
as in:
https://www.lwca.net/sitepage/part15/mfmain.htm
No K6FRC audible now a sesquikHz higher; and where are all the others
on this roster, never detectable here? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 17655, Jan 3 at 1650, S9+10 of open carrier, obviously VOA
Grimesland warming up for the Portuguese to Africa sesquihour from
1700, checked at 1800 in Luso not Braso accent (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. Re WORLD OF RADIO 2171 monitoring in last report: ``"Not
confirmed UT Monday January 2 at 0400 on WBCQ Radio Angela 6160" ---
Nonono, Radio Angela is 5130.`` -- Bill Tilford. Sorry! Of course, the
scheduled 0400 Mon airing on 6160- is part of Area 51. WOR has three
airtimes on WBCQ each week, each a different substation I should not
confuse. One or another could be missing scheduled time for one reason
or another. Next:
0030 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v OR 5130v to WSW [still 5130 JBA carrier
Jan 3]
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

** VANUATU [and non]. 7890, Jan 3 at 0752, JBA carrier for the first
time in weeks, so RV must have moved to harmonicizing 3945 as I
suggested, to avoid QRMongolia on 7260. But there is also a JBA
carrier now on 7260, so suspect that be Mongolia. Nothing audible
however on 11835 = 3 X 3945. It may well be on, but not propagable,
not surprising since NZ 13755 is only a JBA carrier despite 100 kW.
Then other Jan 3 reports emerge:
``Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain: VANUATU, 11835 (3rd harmonic of 3945),
0750-0803, comments. Very weak directly. Good signal Via SDR Kiwi
remote receiver in North New Zealand on 11835, fair on 3945, weak on
7890``
Ron Howard, California: ``January 3 (Tuesday) observations: 3945 (ex
7260), R. Vanuatu, after Glenn's notification to Adrian Sainsbury
(thanks Glenn!), RV moved here to get away from Mongolia (absent
tonight); fundamental frequency (3945) being the only usable signal
that I had; while // 7890, 2nd harmonic was unusable, as was the 3rd
harmonic on 11835. Reception on the former 7260 was infinitely better
for me! 7260, No Mongolia 0830+ UT and no Vanuatu.`` So remains to be
heard whether VOM remain active on 7260 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
