** BRAZIL. 28480 USB, Jan 6 at 2306, PP5MZ working Oregon, and CQ DX.
QRZ.com: ``PP5MZ Brazil flag Brazil, Maikon Dario Souza, rua Caraguata
n°10, Bairro Bello, Caçador, SC, 89509078, Brazil`` -- with a lengthy

of other 10m sigs now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 870, Jan 6 at 0735 UT, wobbler and hardly any WWL
to be heard now. Also: 1040, Jan 6 at 0742, same wobbler sound but
under WHO. The Other Side:

``DIARIO DE CUBA Opinion -- How much has Cuba lost due to the
'Revolution?'

Without the Castroist scourge, Cuba today would have had 15 one-term
presidents of the Republic, constitutionally elected for four-year
terms, and a population of approximately 18 million
Roberto Álvarez Quiñones, Miami 06 Ene 2025 - 16:18 CET
Fidel Castro and his troops enter on January 8, 1959. Granma
[caption]

Do Cubans live better today than they did in 1958? Was a social
revolution needed in Cuba? Do the Cuban people really know what the
country was like before 1959, and what Castroism has prevented them
from doing over the course of these 66 years? Do they have any idea
how they would live today if they had never been "freed from
capitalism?"...``

** CUBA. 13650, Jan 5 at 2340, S7/S9 carrier JBM into Georgia SDR, so
presumably the CRI ``Portuguese`` music-fill only relay is still
turned on; at 2354 checking direct, S9 of dead air, maybe JBM. Then
Jan 6 at 2302, 13650 is S9+10 direct with suptorted music (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 660, Jan 6 at 0722, Mexmx dominating as KTNN fails to
capture the frequency, 0724 YL ID ``Tropicalísima, 6-60, el Sonido de
la Calle``, exactly the slogan in IRCA Mexican Log for XEDTL, 50/10
kW, CDMX (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO [and non]. 800, Jan 6 at 0721 UT, KQCV OKC still with
distorted QRM from XEERG NL (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 5836 USB, Jan 6 at 2311, pirate music, with yelling,
S9+10 direct. Seems I heard it before anyone on HFU who first reported
Thunder Chicken at 2336; yes, that OOB frequency is correct:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,139547.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7200 LSB, Jan 6 at 2317, horrible mess of raucous
bits of music, rude comments, talkovers, fonetix like foxtrot uniform,
at this prime spot for naughty hams who surely earn the title of
Pirates. Such as: CHINT; 2320 ``Nightrider``, Munsters theme, and more
bits from TV; 2321 ``vaginal steam``; CB in Morse Code, etc. (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 640, KWPN Moore with sports owns the channel not only day
but at night some 75 miles away, no good for KFI listeners. Hard to
believe this: ``KWPN OK Moore – STA for U1 250/250 (expires
2025-04-20)`` as in NRC DXtra Jan 6, vs licensed U4 5000/1000 watts
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1670, Jan 6 around 2100 UT, Virtual DJ Radio audible on
caradio as far away as Elm & Cleveland, WNW of ground zero, probably
more due to variations in line noise levels than anything else (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 95.1, Jan 6 at 2125, OG&E Xmas transmitter is still on,
but with dead air in $ tereo. The ``tree`` and the signs about it still
exist just north of the Garfield County courthouse (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Mon Jan 6 at 2300, token English from SNR, VG direct,
JBA carriers on 12030, 17715, not? 17755. No news, but something about
movies/music, ``Good, Bad, Ugly`` theme briefly (Glenn Hauser, OK,

Sunday January 5 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.999-, S7/S9

** U S A. WTWW: George McClintock notified me about 2345 UT Jan 6 that
#2 transmitter was ready to resume, first on 9475 and change to 5085
at 0100. I then tuned in 9475 but nothing heard; however at 0000 Jan 7
I noticed 9455 was on, see WRMI log. Finally at *0042, 9475 cuts on
SFAWPPPP with usual huge signal, some audio cutouts, off again at
0046*. Then I await 5085 which cuts on without ID at *0100 with
SFAWPPPP, break at 0102, right back on until off at 0115*. *0120.7
back on, and so it goes, still having problems.

Before the breakdowns, 9475 was starting about 2100, I think. As in
EiBi, 5085 sked is 0100-0400, except UT Sat to 0430 for WOR. What`s in
current HFCC for WTWW? Availabilities will far exceed axual usage:
5085 not listed!
5840 00-14, 50 degrees
5920 not listed!
9475 14-02, 50 degrees
9930 14-24, 180 degrees
9950 00-24, 40 degrees
12105 not listed
15810 00-24, 40 degrees
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9455, Jan 7 at 0000, first checking for WTWW to resume 9475,
I notice a VG signal on 9455, so WRMI is back after losing this one a
couple months ago, and had been down longer than any other
transmitter. Sounds like an Overcomer service, much like but not
synchronized with 9930 WTWW; I do find it matching 7570 WRMI, so
that`s the source. Any resemblance to what`s on air and what`s on sked
may be coincidental as at 0000, 9455 WRMI-5 is/was supposedly on
System K with RAE in Japanese, 285 degrees to western N America at
00-01 Tue-Sat. More than anything else for 24h: System E, TOMBS (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 900, Jan 6 at 0732 UT, ``The original KHOZ``, i.e. Harrison
AR. So is there another one which is not Original?? Radio-locator
shows ``Bootz 94.9``, of all things. That`s its translator frequency,
tail wags dog (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 920, Jan 6 at 0738 UT, weather from WMOK. That`s Metropolis
IL, U2 1000/750. Night pattern has deep notch to SW, but somelobe to
West. It`s just across from Paducah KY. Fighting dominant KYFR IA

``Alert: Ice and snow are impacting KPR's broadcasts across our
network of towers. KANQ (Chanute) is off the air. KANV (Juntion

soon. Thank you for your patience and understanding!`` January 6
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 9960, Jan 6 at 0658, tune in just in time to perceive RV
carrier cut off, at 0658:17.5*; presumably moved to 3945, inaudible so
early here and failing to provide harmonix on 7890, 11835, or even
15780 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 830, Jan 6 at 0727 UT, ``Sportstalk 8-30 AM``, could be
WCCO? for which sports is a subformat of Newstalk 830. Nothing exactly
thus in NRC AM Log, but broad search gets several hits upon Nashville,
i.e. WQZQ Goodlettsville TN, U1 2500/3 watts. It is sports but slogan
``The Fan``. Or not? radio-locator shows it as ``Classic Hits 93.3``
with 2000 W daytime only. This followed Spanish at 0726 under WCCO,
most likely KGLA Norco LA, U4 5000/750 rather than one other USSS in
FL; but there are 4 or 5 XEs on 830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 980, Jan 6 at 0739 UT, jazzed-up ``Ode to Joy``;
ear-catching but hard to know what format classification would fit
among too many stations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15819 USB, Jan 6 at 1622, intermittent 2-way in Spanish.
Kaput WWCR 15825 used to define the topend of broadcast band. Now the
highest we normally hear is 15770 WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ASCENSION. 12050, Jan 5 at 0724, African music S6/S9, the SSOB, R.
Ndarason International, targeting CHAD, in the Kanuri language, not
Kannada as many guess, which is spoken in India. Would be the OSOB,
except weakies on 12095 = also ASC with BBC French; and 11510 =
probably Turkish jammer and/or Dengê Gel, nothing else on 25m (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 346 MCW kHz, Jan 5 at 0733 UT, no signal from 1000-watt
YXL, Sioux Lookout ON, which had been my best Canabeacon - or
beaCanada?, nor for last few nights. Hope it`s just degraded northerly
propagation rather than decommissioned. RNA list shows it last logged
somewhere on Jan 1. Will keep seeking (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Jan 5 at 0719, R. Rebelde is OFF; had been mostly on
with weak signal. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. Nor any trace
of SIBC yet on 5020. BTW, the other domestic, R. Progreso has been
totally gone from 4765 for many weeks, but had been scheduled only
0130-0500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 13830, Sun Jan 5 at 1612, algolang S8/S9, the only
extracontinental on 22m, between the only intracontinentals on 13820 &
13845. With trans-equatorial advantage, it`s Vatican Radio in Swahili,
317 degrees so also thisaway far beyond Africa East (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6849.92 AM, Jan 5 at 0228 rock music S9/+12, JBA vs
noise level. Many `6850` logs here until 0624* with playlists as
Liquid Radio:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Jan 5 at 1615, JBA carrier direct from REE to NAm,
while 12030 for ME is sufficient S9+15/25 and even 17715 for SAm is
S7/S9, and even 17755 for Africa is S5/S6 JBA, better than 9690. On
weekends the WHem frequencies start at *1500, a quadrihour earlier
than weekdays. But this is a prime example of frequency mismanagement;
should be on higher band this `early` in the day, 13, 15 or even 17
MHz to NAm. I cannot agree with page 44 of WRTH 2025, VOACAP
recommendation for most suitable frequencies, 9 or even 7 MHz band.
Despite multi-hour spans, REE tries to compromise with only one
frequency thruout. With A-season from Marchend will no doubt leap to
17855 again (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 335 MCW kHz, Jan 5 at 0731 UT, BV, 25-watt ND beacon at
BatesVille AR, which is NE of Little Rock between Cave City and Heber
Springs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2276 monitoring: confirmed UT
Sunday January 5 at 0100 on WRMI 9955, S7/S9 into Bonaire SDR with

Also confirmed UT Sunday January 5 at 0418 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO,

** JAPAN [non]. 5800, Jan 4 at 0239, WRMI in English with ``Backstory
of Japanese Landmarx - Mount Takao`` I can`t imagine anystation but
NHK emitting such, and in fact, the WRMI skedgrid for 5800 on System
D, at 0200-0300 UT Saturdays only is ``World Radio Network`` -- and
guess what, WRN NAm stream at 0230-0300 Tue-Sat is NHK World Radio
Japan! So they are back on air to NAm in English, and probably don`t
even care, know it or ask for it, and for only 30 minutes (or less)
per week unless there happen to be another NHK spot of WRN fill onto
WRMI. At 0200-0230 it`s Deutsche Welle (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 9754.97v, Jan 4 at 0342, Spanish, which was mystifying
some reporters, who overlooked that La Voz Alegre, as that service is
named by Madagascar World Voice, had recently moved off 6180 to avoid
Cuba and Brazil, a good idea, for the bihour in Spanish at 0200-0400.

La Voz Alegre was also one of the programmmes deleted with WWCR-1 as
Alan Roe reported. I was not aware it was on WWCR too, or whether it`s
really the same.

The sign-off of 9755 at 0358 mentioned World Christian Broadcasting,
and various contact info, altho I heard no mention of Madagascar. Such
offfrequenciness has become typical of MWV (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Also confirmed Saturday January 4 at 1835 the 1830 on SW Radio,

** U S A. Pre `AAAWWW` chex of WBCQs, UT Sat Jan 4 at 0049 via NH SDR:
3265 & 5130 OFF. 6160 -67 Hz = 6159.933, S9+10 with music instead of
TOMBS which has been expelled from 6160; the 6160 sked now shows at
0000-0100 UT Sat, `Cruisin Radio with Arthur Burton` - no apostrophe
and no Z in Cruisin! 7490 -77 Hz = 7489.923 with usual FKB g.h., S7/S9
with usual ACI splatter from 7495 USAGM but only until 0100*. By 0100,
5130 -22 Hz = 5129.978 is on and has joined // 7490- for `AAAWWW`,
first interjexion in `WTO` theme being ``What the Hell is that?``.
0103; ``it`s 2025, first program of new year``, vows to play more
music in format change - music that you will not hear anywhere else on
US radio stations. First song at 0105, but what is it? At 0110 points
out that 6160 has lots of time for lease now as BS is exclusively on
7490.

Also, this is important: Area 51 has just decided to go back to 5130
as the name would imply, ex-6160 already this weekend, with a
shortened schedule. That means no more WOR at 0400 UT Mondays, but
Larry Will says will still be on webcast only. See separate notice.

0119, datestamp as 3 January 2025. 0121 another raunchy song, ``The
Bitch Came Back`` including F-bombs. At 0200, after wishful thinking
prayer, Hal Turner on 7490, and 5130 into music until cutoff at 0208*.
I think 6160 was now also carrying AAAWWW as on the sked, instead of
something else until last week, but not paying attention to it (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. ``WBCQ Area 51: frequency and schedule changes --- Sat, Jan
4 at 9:53 PM --- Hello all, With the new year we are making some
changes to our Area 51 service. Effective 4 January 2024 we are moving
all of our programming from 6160 KHz to 5130 KHz. In addition to the
frequency change, we are reducing our broadcast schedule by two hours.
Our new schedule is Saturday and Sunday 7-11 PM US eastern time

We really dislike having to drop the 11-midnight hours but increased
transmission costs and lack of sustaining donations are to blame. If
we are able to get more regular contributions we will consider
expanding the service in the future. You can donate to us via Paypal

from last April, and in EDT/UT, altho some changes must have been made

CRI relay at 0300-0500, still on A24 frequency instead of 5910. Aoki
imagines it`s really on 5910, but EiBi maintains true 9790. What I`m
hearing is not really JBM, but RFI as scheduled from 0400! A one-hour
overlap, and now even more as RadioCuba has failed to turn it off
before 0500, suppressing the French; its own modulation varies from JB
to nothing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1640 kHz, Jan 3 at 0644 UT, Fox Sports Radio, S9+48 from
KZLS: Much stronger than usual at night, so I conclude it`s illegally
running 10 kW day power instead of 1 kW, from site east of Hennessey.
BTW, this is hardly ever reported by NZ or Euro DXers, probably
because unlike most X-banders, it`s direxional NNW/SSE to become an
OKC station - but should make it well into western Canada and Latin
America, especially with 10 kW. It`s // 1390 KCRC but not exactly
synchronized (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1670 kHz, Jan 3 at 2120 UT, Virtual DJ Radio still going,
ID by DJ Liam, who was the first one I heard weeks ago, but others in
meantime and they have a long roster. Still unknown who chooses which
one to play on 1670, why, nor from exactly where in Enid but best
around US 81/412 junxion (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Jan 3 at 2300, token English from SNR is VG
S9+30/40 direct; feature subject to be about the ``word of the year
2024`` in Spanish, but I never catch what it was; also how the
language fluxuates and changes. News starts with lowest/best
unemployment figures in 17 years. At 2309 they say 4,074 updates on
Spanish words in December (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Jan 3 at 2258, not off the air with usual VOT IS, but
TRTWorld which follows at 2300 is ignored; poor signal direct (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28490 USB, Jan 3 at 1623, Joe, W1AW in contacts to west
coast, 6s or 7s. It`s ARRL`s own station in CT. Not much else on 10m
phone except algo on 28446, but several beacons from N1-land to K6FRC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 26110 NBFM, Jan 3 at 1617, KMK282 talk, S6/S8 but crackly,
insufficient for clear FM, 1618 to dead air and shortly off*. That`s
the aux of KOVR ``13`` Stockton/Sacramento, funxioning for cuing
remote reporters without a delay in broadcast audio (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2276 monitoring: missed checking
Friday January 3 at 1300 on WRMI 15770; anyone hear it?

Confirmed Friday January 3 at 2158 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,
1322.998+, S9+5 into UTwente - except music playing at tune-in, cut to
last few seconds of WOR closing! What`s going on here? Then usual IRRS
SW s/off, and stays on air a while longer as usual with Feature Story
News.

Also confirmed January 3 at 2300 on WRMI 9955, S9+20/30 direct,
immediately following `Over the Horizon Radio` including WRMI ID.

Also confirmed January 3 at 2341 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.002+,
S6/S7 but poor into UTwente. Much better and fully readable into
Sligo, Ireland SDR at S7 on its meter. Next:

** TURKEY. 5960 & 9610, Jan 2 at 2301, no signal on either ex-VOT
English frequency, into UTwente. Why not filling it with TRTWorld TV
soundtrack like at other times? Maybe just an anomaly (Glenn Hauser,

** U S A. 6160 -70 Hz = 6159.93, Jan 2 at 0302, WBCQ with
patriotic/military music, and // 7490 - 74 Hz = 7489.927 - must be due
to the UT Thu-only extension of Hal Turner show. By 0404, 6160 is OFF,
and 7489.926 has faded to JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Jan 2 at 0643, this WRMI is a JBA carrier, but 9395 is
S9+45 with SMTV; extreme disparity more than diverse azimuths could
explain (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 9960, Jan 2 at 0642, JJBBA carrier, presumably R. Vanuatu
currently active here until 0658 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
