** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Tue Dec 30 at 2309, RAE via WRMI, VG direct
in `Atualidade DX` program in Portuguese, already underway, something
about Malawi; 2310 multi-lingual ID reel; 2311 DX news compiled by
Arnaldo Slaen including: Sked of WMR Denmark; Bangladesh on 4750 -
hasn`t that been gone almost a year? Still in Aoki, not EiBi or WRTH;
Vietnam Democracy Radio, 9670 via Paochung [Taiwan], 1230-1258 100 kW;
7515 Guam with Living Water Ministry in Korean, missed time, but Aoki
& EiBi show that only on 9900 at 1500-1600 via unknown site. BSKSA
Riyadh on 15120 at 09-11 with 500 kW --!? AFAIK it`s totally gone from
SW, even the Yemen service. R. Progreso, Cuba 4765 until 0400* -
almost correct, in `winter` until nominal 0500* when it`s not AWOL. R.
Omdurman, Sudão, 100 kW on 7200 heard in SAm from 0400 on 7200! This
has been gone from SW for a long time, or was it 7205? Some of these
wrong items seem familiar; I suspect they are rerunning very old
reports/show! Then something about the TELAM news agency in a new?
deal? with R. Nacional in Argentina. Not clear what this is about but
R. Nacional has a bunch of UNDATED stories about the Milei government
vs TELAM! English translations offered:

Dec 31 is expected to be pre-empted by New Year celebrations (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. 5960, Dec 30 at 2300, JBA carrier direct, unlikely
VOT but Urumqi, EAST TURKISTAN, supposedly not starting until 2310. By
2337 no signal into Georgia SDR, and only Chinese into UTwente; while
accidentalternate 9610 is only JBA, presumably Mongolian on CNR8 from

6030 is intended only for Europe, not us beyond; alternate from
Galbeni is 7220, not noticed there but anyhow would be intruder

** U S A. 1280, Dec 30 at 0704 UT, DX test from WNAM Neenah/Menasha WI
is detectable direct vs QRM from lots of other stations, sweeps upward
and in between Morse code including ID as WNAM.

To know what to listen for, I had tuned to the first hourly
transmission at 0604 via N8BTR remote at Tall Pines Cabin in NE
Wisconsin. From tune-in at 0555, heavy QRM in French, from CFMB
Montreal, 50/50 kW but supposed to have a notch to the west. Would not
be the first Canadian failing to implement required direxionality.
WNAM is generally underneath it.

The DX material is to air at :03-:05 past each hour from 0600 to 1105
UT Dec 30 and 31. Started with phone-off-the-hook tones, sweeps
upward, Morse code, more sweeps, gmail address, singing ID. 0606
``continue to tune in as we honor our final days on the air``. Of
course, DXers are on their honor to pick it up direct and/or specify
if via a remote, and not fake a report from what others have heard.

Joe Hanlon found this 2+ minute story on WNAM from WBAY-TV Green Bay,
which BTW was one of the first stations I TVDXed from NM in 1954 when
on channel A2:

** U S A. 780, Dec 29 at 0740 UT, ``NewsRadio 105.9 WBBM`` via
WBBM[AM] blows right past `StarDate` time, after ``traffic and weather
toge[a]ther on the eights``.

Guess what, when listened to `StarDate` later on another station,
there is a huge error in the Dec 29 episode; from script on website:
``Over the centuries, we’ve given all the visible stars many names –
proper names, catalog designations, and others. But only one star is
best known not by any of its formal names, but by its nickname: the
Dog Star. Its proper name is Sirius, and it’s the leading light of the
constellation Canis Major, the big dog – hence the nickname...`` ---
but Billy says URSA!! MAJOR as I heard him myself. Notified them
immediately. Did WBBM skip this ep because of that gross error? I
doubt it.

Guess2 what, the real WBBM-FM is on 96.3 with ``Rythmic CHR`` format,
but only 3.3 kW ERP. 105.9 is really a totally different station,
WCFS-FM, a hefty 4.1 kW ``in`` Elmwood Park. Axually, per WTFDA FM DB,
both are transmitting from exactly the same coördinates, the Willis
ex-Sears Tower, in The Loop, never mind Elmwood Park. 105.9 mounted 8
meters higher on the tower at 482 m HAAT vs only 474 for 96.3. Without
the antennas, Willis is only 1451 feet = 442.3 meters above ground.
482m = 1581 feet above average terrain, which must be pretty flat in
Chicago.

780, originally U1 50/50 kW, was degraded some years ago to only U1
35/42 kW -- yes, increased power at night, due to a site change,
consolidating with another AM station: ``the station's transmitter —
diplexed with sister station WSCR [670] — is in the nearby suburb of
Bloomingdale`` in DuPage County, 25 miles NW of downtown Chicago --
but not good enough, with a CP now for U1 43/43 kW, so they won`t even
have to bother with any SR/SS changes. Elmwood Park is the first
suburb WNW of The Loop, pop about 25K. Reception here varies widely
from VG to VP depending on auroral conditions and whether daytimer
KSPI Stillwater OK still be on air.

Other 780s rarely heard here; Allan Weiner does his best to keep WBBM
out of Maine. But beware of WJAG Norfolk NE, L1 1000, on air from
Chicago SR to Chicago SS, branded as ``NewsTalk 780 & 105.9``, in this
case really a translator K290AT! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1360, UT Mon Dec 29 at 0640 UT, I check a remote within
local S9+35 range of KHNC Johnstown CO, a week after my unID with
pseudo-scientific stuff - i.e. the K0LTO one at Little Thompson
Observatory, Berthoud CO. Indeed it`s a discussion of flat-earthers,
etc., certainly type of programming chex. 0700 no ID break, but on to
``episode 10, it`s time to talk about energy`` - Tesla. 0703
interrupted for ID and commercial plugging website, podcast. Std.
disclaimer. And 0705 resumes with - yecch - Alex Jones instead. Online
program sked is incomplete, not showing this.

Strangely, another remote nearby at Fort Collins gets nothing on 1360
or close frequencies but is sending/picking up a slow Morse code
marker as QST QST QST DE N6GN N6GN N6GN (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, Sun Dec 28 at 1552, RHC music S6/S7 clear, while //
15140 is S9+20/25 with windhowl. Also S7 on 11760. Esperanto is
underway on all three after 1600, but 15230 chops off the air at 1607*
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN [and non]. 15220, Dec 28 at 0706, JBA carrier is
virtually the OSOB, so I wonder what it could be? Aoki & EiBi show CRI
French via Kashgar. There is one other better signal, JBA on 15490.
That`s BBC French to Africa via ASCENSION. Not a bit of e.g. 15770
WRMI: is it propagating to anywhere in the middle of a winter night?
Also 13755, no sign of NZ which usually holds up when nothing northern
does (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Sunday Dec 28 at 1550, zero signal direct from REE to
N America. Weekends starts at 1500; even 17755 for Africa, normally
the weakest, is S7/S8 much better than 9690! 17715 for SAm S6/S9;
12030 for ME S9+15/20. To restate the obvious, NAm in our mornings
should be on much higher frequency, 13, 15 or even 17 MHz, while 9690
becomes VG later over mostly dark path. Something`s not right at
Noblejas, or messed up in Madrid when it comes to Propagation 101. At
1615 into UTwente I confirm that 9690 indeed is on the air, S9/+15 to
there (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9660.018, Sun Dec 28 at 1752, VOT English S9+5/15 into
UTwente, opening `Letterbox`. Cemre is speaking more slowly and
clearly than before, must be a deliberate strategy. She says it`s been
a year of ups and downs both personally and for the station. Looking
forward to some new programs in 2026: about Palestine, economic
activity?, Africa, UNESCO. Some will be in first half of year only,
others for entire year. Letterbox will continue on Sundays, and then
repeated on Wednesdays. She does not say which programs are being
terminated to make way for the new ones! Responding to reports: 1)
Annan?, India, NY greetings, with an `RFI` radio club. 2) Paul
Prokop?, Lancs., UK, listened to Chinese on 17775 among many others
mostly 6050 in English but one date nothing heard. 3) Siddartha
