** CUBA. 11760, Dec 27 at 2312, no signal direct from RHC`s #1 legacy
channel. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** EGYPT. 9900-, Dec 27 at 1851, S5/S8 of dead air or maybe trace of
modulation, direct. R. Cairo sked 17-19 in Turkish, slightly on the
low side. Something`s egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MADAGASCAR. 13670, Dec 27 at 1900, S9/+10 African song; MWV
starting Arabic hour, following English at 1800 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6930 USB, Dec 27 at 2320, S7/S9 music about = noise
level. These take it as 77LJS, as one reported it ``sounds like``
that:

Has the derivation of that name been explained? They say it was
playing classical choral music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.005, Dec 27 at 2300, VOT English back on the
air after AWOL yesterday, but insufficient direct. Via UTwente from
2334, S9+25/40 ending `Feeling Supreme/The Healing Spring`, music.
2338, ``always-by-your-side`` promo, `Gripping Piles` about
sustainability. 2344 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo, music. 2353 canned
s/off by the badax, totally wrong incomplete times and frequencies for
expired A23. Those people are so out of it, clueless. If they can`t
even utter their own sked accurately, why should we believe anything
they say? Something`s always awry at Ankara. 2354 IS to 2355*
uncovering Xinjiang PBS, std denunciation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U K Q O G B A N I [non]. 11825, Dec 27 at 2316, English discussion
of Ukraine, including interview with former SOTH Nancy Pelosi; maybe
year-in-reviewish. VG signal from BBCWS despite via USAGM Tinang,
PHILIPPINES, westward for Indonesia, this hour only. I will refrain
from remarking it`s a violation of SOCAS, despite UKetc. being a
theocracy (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. Re: Justin Austin on VOA `Music Time in Africa` Dec 22:
``Merry Christmas and all that! You may have already checked, but this
is indeed a young African American baritone. Check out

73, Randy Stewart`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 17700, Dec 27 at 1855, S9+10/20 of open carrier; by 1900,
VOA French has started, the SSOB by far, from Grimesland (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2222 monitoring: confirmed UT
Wednesday December 27 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+20/25 into Missouri
SDR.
Missed checking Wed Dec 27 at 1500 on WRMI 9955, unsked but had
appeared last 3 weeks; anyone hear it this week?
Confirmed Wednesday December 27 at 2205 the 2200 on WBCQ 7490, S9/+15
into Maryland SDR displaying almost 7490.000 with slight variations.
Is that possible? Rechecking WWV later vs calibrations, accurate with
WBCQ only +3 to +8 Hz off, incredible! Perhaps a different transmitter
or relayed elsewhere? Next:
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S
0230 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW

** U S A. 9275, Wed Dec 27 at 1849, no signal from WMLK, supposedly
sked 17-22 UT except SabbaSaturdays; what`s wrong? Prop OK from
neighbor 9265 WINB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 15610, Dec 27 at 1901 and next few minutes, no signal from
WEWN English, supposed to start at 1900; what`s wrong? Prop OK as
15555 WJHR and 15825 WWCR are VG with sporadic-E boost. 12050 Spanish
on as usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1360, Dec 27 at 1907, `Jingle Bells`, a secular carol! then
``Merry Christmas from the Catholic Radio Network``, for which it`s
not over yet, then `I Saw Three Ships``. It`s KPHN, El Dorado KS with
EWTN, address in KC,MO, ordinary groundwave. Would same be on 15610
now if WEWN were on? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
