 ** ANDORRA [non]. 6005, Dec 7 at 1740, no signal at all from Kall/Krekel, Germany, as publicized for a special 1980 R. Andorra broadcast at 17-20 UT today. So stays closed down? Is running however in French at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5oj30ZAj2A Supposed to repeat at 20-23 UT on 3985 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 5025, Dec 7 at 0112, R. Rebelde, S9+10/20 dead air in Spanish; 4765 R. Progreso off. Both are off into Georgia SDR at 0345 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) Fixing previous report typo: not 5035! ** CUBA. 11760, Dec 7 at 1601, RHC S8/S9 plugging few FM frequencies in western Cuba, 1602 IS and finally open weekly Esperanto. Only // is 15140 with windhowl, S7/S9. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11760, Dec 7 at 1948, RHC deadair direct, likewise 15140 except for windhowl, so already all set for no English at 2000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 7320-7325-7330, Dec 7 at 0819, S9+18 of DRM noise. EiBi shows one of those many irregular DRMs at 08-09 from TDF Issoudun (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 21660, Dec 7 at 1500-1507 check, MiniTransAt is still off the air (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9660.008, Sun Dec 7 at 1759, VOT English into UTwente, S9+15/25 Turkish music; feared I tuned in too late for `Letterbox` but this week does not start until 1801. 1) Ms. Bell?, UK, uses UTwente. 2) Allan Willie, Canada, another set of *100* reception reports using a 600-foot Beverage antenna at 135 degrees. {This is hardly aimed at Turkey, and totally unnecessary for SW}. 3) Mohammed Breyel[?], near KL, Malaysia. {Again I query whether this is the same or related person to well-known DXer Timm Breyel in Malaysia}. 4) Mr. Roland? --, Ista? City, Sweden, another FM DX report from Ju[ne or ly? fade], TRT R3 on 88.0, due to ``extreme atmospheric conditions``. {Guess what, it`s the ionosphere way above the atmosphere, obviously sporadic E propagation which is never mentioned. Previously I measured distance under 1.5 kilomiles}. 5) Siddartha Papajarjee[?], India, questions about opera shows, rate of TV watching, largest TV company? {Guess he meant *soap* operas} - they are very popular in Turkey and abroad, TRT one of the largest. At 1812: 6) Mr Perry Moore, England. 7) David Golan?, Moncton NB. 8) no name young person, gender unknown, in SW Malaysia. Rushes home for quick shower before tuning in Malay service on 17530. {They never mention the time: it`s 05-06 UT, so that would be 13-14 LT}. 1819 ending, 1820 theme (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2324 monitoring: I did not get to check any of the Sunday 0730, 1030 or 1130 broadcasts. ``World of Radio on IRRS Milano --- Mr. Hauser, Happen to run across your World of Radio broadcast on IRRS Milano at 1040 UT 2025-12-07; signal was poor give a 3,3,2. Was able to hold this station until about 11:05 UT 2025-12-07 before it faded away. Thank you, Thomas Dorman, Bell. Oklahoma`` Presumably 9510 and heard direct from Saftica, Romania site? Reply: ``Mr. Hauser, direct on a Tecsun PL 365 on a broom stick antenna mount horizontally. Thought for a moment WRMI had open up a new frequency but quickly realize it was IRRS Milano. Mr. Hauser, could it be the solar storms we are having causing signal to jump over the poles into the the U.S. plains and the western slopes of the Ozarks? Just guessing. Thanks, Thomas Dorman`` Maybe, but prop from Europe at that hour in winter on 9 MHz should not be too unusual.
