** CUBA. 5025, Dec 12 at 0727, S9+5/25 of dead air in Spanish from R.
Rebelde. Often missing completely, but tonight, halfway there! SAWA
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Dec 12 at 1520, RHC windhowl only, S8; 15230 JBA music
S3/S4; 11880 talk JBA S4/S5, maybe not Cuba. Still not hearing 13780
anymore at anytime. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 15140 windhowl only and 11880 dead air, as usual, Dec 12 at
1959 tune-in, just in time for no English, from RHC, where SAWA. 15140
& 11880 the same at 2055 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 660, Dec 12 at 0707 UT, ``Esto es ABC Deportes``, then,
what else? a song in English. Not the first time I`ve hit such a
non-ID in random tuneacrossing; must be frequent. I.e., XEFZ,
Monterrey NL, 10/1 kW allegedly, but dominating the channel now rather
than KTNN or anything USelse (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 93.1 & 95.1, Dec 12 circa 2030 UT, the dead air carriers
in $ tereo are still the same, peaking circa downtown Enid, and 1680
kHz Virtual DJ Radio continues to be JBA downtown but peaking circa US
81 & 412 junxion (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

starting with SXSCDI.... Too late to wait for another clever tactical
handle to be uttered (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Not confirmed Friday December 12 at 2130 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,
1322.997, into UTwente, except for first few syllables: ``This is

on life support)``

** U S A. 4840, Dec 12 at 0726, dead air again from WWCR-3, S9+30/45.
Muted show sked now is `Renewing Your Mind`. But remodulating at 0735
when `Insight for Living` is on, the latter one quieted when last
noted deadair. WWCR`s hours of dead air pale in comparison to Cuba`s,
q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5980, Dec 12 at 1330, no signal direct, not even R.
Martí; still trying to confirm or replace a report of R. Chaski, Perú
before 1400 into Arizona. At 1500 however a JBA carrier, presumably as
in EiBi, CRI Japanese at 1500-1600 only via site x. Need to check
OA4DFF SDR especially in daytime during hours when Chaski might be on:
11-02 per WRTH, or 10-15 & 22-0103 per Aoki. Nothing there at 1705 Dec
12. IIRC Lima has a very quick timeout. And it`s labeled 6.5-30 MHz,
presumably meaning not so good below 6.5.

By 1515 a few other lingersigs on 49m, JBA carriers: 6075 CNR1 vs
Taiwan; 6145 several China and Taiwan; 6180 some Chinese JBA, again
both Taiwan and Chinees possible (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6251 approx., Dec 12 at 0732 tones repeating, sort of
musical but presumably ute; tuned in USB but can`t pinpoint it. Same
kind of thing encountered again at the late hour of 1516 when an AM
carrier put it on 6250.6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 11780, Dec 11 at 0753, no signal for RNA token English;
6180 is VP with music. Paul Walker, McGrath AK, says: ``Even though
most won't notice, 11780 Brazil is still operating at half power of 50
KW; they got new tube but they were no good so the old one back in
operation right now. They've been operating this way for a month. I`m
not a math guy, but someone told me its only 3db difference between
100 and 50 kW. I've noticed almost no difference up here`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2325)

** CUBA [and non]. 1040 kHz, Dec 11 at 0736 UT, whooper audible under
WHO. Quite some time since I`ve heard that anywhere (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Dec 11 at 1550, windhowl only at S9+5; 15230 JBA
Spanish S4/S5; 11760 S5/S6 JBA or dead air. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Dec 11 at 1953, S6/S8 of deadair without windhowl from
RHC direct. No other frequencies even on the air, making it even
easier not to broadcast English at 2000. 11760 still DA at 2001 into
Georgia SR, S9+15/22. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2325)

** NEW ZEALAND. 13755, Dec 11 at 0723, RNZP Melanesian, starting
Vanuatu news sponsored by a bank there: so is this officially a
commercial station? Only S4/S5. Used to inboom unlike anything else on
band, but not lately. This does not exactly match program sked for
this particular day, in UT +13:
https://www.rnz.co.nz/international/schedules/20251211

``8:08 PM. Pacific Waves
A daily current affairs programme covering the major Pacific stories
of the week, with background and reaction from the people making the
news.

8:28 PM. Melanesian Update
The latest news in Solomon Islands Pidgin (Tok Pisin), followed by
BuzzFM News from our partners in Port Vila, Vanuatu.

9:00 PM. The Wantok Program
30 minutes of news and current affairs from ABC Australia from Monday
to Friday in Papua New Guinea Tok Pisin, Solomon Islands Pijin and
Vanuatu Bislama pidgin languages.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 9025 AM, Dec 11 at 1554, FDR speech clips, narrative
about WWII, music bits, from a documentary, S8/S9 direct but audio
breakups. 1557 refers to his report about Yalta conference on March 1,
1945. 1559 mentions April 12, 1945 - the day FDR died and someone was
born, but then off the air before 1600. Searching frequency at HFU
gets several pirate hits in past few years: other presidential audio,
from JFK, Coolidge:

Switching to W5TSU remote, the only OK, in OKC, hears nothing more

Confirmed UT Thursday December 11 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, no signal into
Athens Georgia SDR, too close; S9+15 into N9AZZ IL remote, but faded
out by 0056! Then I still get it direct, only S9.

Also confirmed UT Thursday December 11 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S6/S9
into Costa Rica SDR which is new with quick timeout but none other in
CAm.

Also confirmed Thursday December 11 at 1730 on SW Radio Gold, Germany,
3975.001+, S8/S9 into UTwente, but 6160 inaudible vs 6165 splash. 6160
is S9/+10 into Bedford UK remote.

*** Lately I've been using individual receivers for each day's listening sessions (with the same antenna), in order to verify the performance of each receiver and antenna combination.
I live in the urban area of ​​São Bernardo do Campo, São Paulo, less than 300 meters in a straight line from the Volkswagen do Brazil headquarters (were I worked for 35 years), with all its machinery producing hundreds of cars a day, an excellent generator of random noise 24 hours a day.
Today I used the Tecsun S-2000, connected to a 20-meter-long wire antenna, stretched 8 meters off the ground, above the roofline of the house.
Nothing to complain about! The S-2000 performed satisfactorily in a real test reception, presenting Adventist World Radio satisfactorily via Agat GUAM (15215), at one of the worst times of the day, that is, 12:42 local time, 15:42 UTC.
