** ARGENTINA. 28460 USB, Dec 12 at 2310, LU7YE, calling CQ and working
a USA. QRZ.com: ``LU7YE Argentina flag Argentina, Gabriel "Gab" Dal
Pietro, Plottier, Neuquén - Patagonia 8316, Argentina`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 11780, Dec 13 at 0725, RNA is on already with music, S8/S3
and the SSOB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 28395 USB, Dec 12 at 2306, PU2KNM in SP calling CQDX.
QRZ.com: ``PU2KNM Brazil flag Brazil, CLAUDIO, RUA:PAULO NEDOPETALSKI
215 BAIRRO ALTO DA TENDA, APIAI, SP 18320000, Brazil`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 9695, Dec 12 at 2300, Japanese but spelling out something
with English letters, strange behavior for onlything listed, CRI in
Japanese from Jinhua site. But was also hearing JJ just before 2300
when nothing is scheduled. Noticed as I was perfunctorily checking
whether Spain finally turned on its NAm frequency 9690? Of course not!
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Dec 13 at 0712, S9+25 of dead air in Spanish from R.
Rebelde: something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 9710, Sat Dec 13 at 0723, S9/S4 of dead air, no doubt RHC
where something`s always wrong; maybe trace of some understation? More
likely on Sunday only Vatican in Ukrainian. One of few signals on band
besides USA on 9395, 9330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** LUXEMBOURG. 6140, Dec 13 at 0715, S7/S9 of choral music and
talkover in uncertain language. Only thing listed is R. Gloria,
Switzerland on this recently activated low-power transmitter I was not
expecting to hear so easily; at 0600-1700 per Aoki, 0659-2100 per
EiBi, likely the latter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PERU [non]. 5980, Dec 13 at 0005, checking Lima SDR for any sign of
R. Chaski activity -- nothing but weak DRM not decoding but IDed as
TDF as scheduled (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Dec 12 at 2257, VOT IS & English IDs, S9/+10 direct,
2300 sign-on English. I don`t usually try this into Georgia SDR, but I
have it running anyway, so at 2346, S9+10/20, better but still not as
it should be in target area, `Did You Know That` yogurt was originally
made by Turx? 2353 recheck already in IS, 2356 German IDs but 2357.5*
chop, failing to provide any more extraneous German (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 414 MCW kHz, Dec 13 at 0721 UT, GRN, 25-watt NDB at GoRdoN
NE, new one for me (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28222 CW, Dec 12 at 2301, beacon W1DLO/B, alternating slow
and fast sending, right on frequency rather than as in WGB list:
``28221.5 W1DLO/B - Calais ME USA FN65je - #0/1/2 (09 Dec 2025) Note:
VVV de ID + grid + Calais Maine + 9" carrier - 2 speeds CW``. QRZ.com
page has huge list of equipment, and: ``W1DLO USA flag USA, Daniel L
Owen, 27 Roundstone Dr, Glenburn, ME 04401-1209, USA

* 10m CW propagation beacon: http://qsl.net/w1dlo/beacon
You can find this beacon between frequencies 28.221 - 28.223 MHz with
the center goal being on 28.221.8 MHz. This beacon is located less
than 1,000 feet from the New Brunswick Canadian border which is also
right on the line separating the Eastern and Atlantic time zones. It
is also less than 10 miles north of the 45th parallel. (45 10'5"N, 67
14'39"W)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28450 USB, Dec 12 at 2307, says ``K6GIL`` over and over and
over, no other call, so is this his spoken ``beacon``? QRZ.com:
``K6GIL USA flag USA, GILBERT M "GIL" GARCIA, 79924 Memorial Place, La
Quinta, CA 92253, USA --- 73's and Mabuhay (Long live!) from Coachella
Valley`` Has accent so must be Filipino as Mabuhay is Tagalog (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2325 monitoring: confirmed Friday
December 12 at 2300 on WRMI 9955, S9/+10 direct, as always seeming
undermodulated compared to comparable signals. But not off the air
this week.

Also confirmed Friday December 12 at 2332 the 2330 on SW Radio Gold,
Germany, JBA S7 into UTwente, no better at recommended Bedford UK SDR,
but somewhat better S9/+5 at 2337 into Noale, Italy SDR I normally use
for AM Italia 1323.

Not confirmed UT Saturday December 13 at 0400 on WTWW 5085, rather
again replayed previous week`s WOR #2324, to completion followed by
5+minutes of music before shutoff. Once again I have asked them to
make it good by playing 2325 at the same time Sat or Sun night = UT
Sunday or Monday.

Confirmed Saturday December 13 at 1533 the 1530 on SW Radio Gold,
Germany, 3975.002-, S7/S9 into UTwente; and 6160.000 S7/S9 but heavy
ACI from China 6165.

** U S A. Pre-`AAAWWW` chex of WBCQs, into W1NT NH SDR, Dec 13 at
*0055 when 5130 -25 Hz = 5129.975 cuts on like clockwork with The
Planet IS & ID loop, but it`s quite fluttery, very strange for such a
close signal. 32365 not on. 6160 - 50v Hz = 6159.95 JBA with algo.
7490 -20 Hz = 7489.980 JBA S3! with FKB as clearly on stream. 9330.00
on contrary is S7/S9 in Brazuguese. On W1NT it read out as 9330 - 50
Hz so I know that SDR must be miscalibrated. Yes: WWV 10000 also reads
out as -50 Hz, so I have corrected above readings by adding 50 Hz to
the figures axually showing in SAM mode. At 0100, concedes that
following will be repeat of original airing on January 3, 2025! Wonder
why they picked that one? Anyhow, never mind, see my report within:
https://www.w4uvh.net/ghlogs_2025_0102_0108.txt
Before quitting I find that it`s airing on all four now: 9330, 7490-,
6160- and 5130- (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15770, Dec 13 at 1604, NO signal from this WRMI direct, nor
into UTwente, nor into Maryland remote: must be off the air, unusual
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 550, Dec 13 at 0729 UT, KCRS promos atop, Midland TX, U4 5/1
kW. Supposedly nulls thisaway at night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** URUGUAY. 28492 USB, Dec 12 at 2311, CX2TQ, Paul, with 40 watts,
QRZ.com: ``CX2TQ Uruguay flag Uruguay, (Paul) JOSE PABLO AMENDOLA
CARRASCO, RINCON 39, ROCHA - CP: 27000, Uruguay`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 810.57, Dec 13 at 0736 UT, JBA carrier hetting 810.0 WHB
varies slightly, now measured here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 25995 LSB, Dec 12 at 2320, maybe Brazuguese but only a
few words recognizable, with beeps. Nothing on 25985 or 25955 heard
before with Brazuguese CBers? Freebanders? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
