** CANADA. 346 MCW kHz, Jan 7 at 0802 UT, dash and YXL, is JBA. Glad
to hear that Sioux Lookout ON beacon has not been decommissioned; had
not been able to detect it for several nights. DXinfocentre says 500
watts; RNA list, 1000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 392 MCW kHz, Jan 7 at 0804 UT, ND beacon is JBA, copied as
FMO. But per RNA and dxinfocentre, must have been FMZ, 25 watts at
Fairmont / Beklof, Nebraska {i.e., last letter --.. not ---} Last
definitely logged Nov 7, 2024 at 0726 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2276 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday January 7 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9+10/20 into south TX SDR.

Missed checking Tue Jan 7 at 1400 on WRMI 9955; anyone hear it?

Confirmed Tuesday January 7 at 1505 the 1500 on WRMI 9955, JBA direct.
Last week TOMBS was on instead after 1500, but the 1400 was
confirmed.

Confirmed Tuesday January 7 at 2100 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323
kHz, S9 into nearby Parma SDR, inaudible at UTwente. Next:

0030 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW;
0030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975;
2030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975;
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW;
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;
1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975.

Thanks this week for financial support from Chris Krug, Tulsa OK, a
contribution via PayPal in US funds but not necessarily, to woradio at
yahoo.com, and says, ``Warmest Holiday Greetings, Glenn! Thanks for
all you do!``

One may also contribute by money order or check on a US bank to:
Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Correxion to previous report, HFCC registrations for WTWW:
9940 00-24, 40 degrees, NOT 9950! It is certainly prudent for US SW
stations to be spaced at least 15 kHz apart. Anyhow, not in use (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 9455, Jan 7 at 0737, this WRMI is off again after
having appeared at 0000 for a few? hours, altho scheduled 24 h. At
1554 check, JBA carrier with FE flutter, so CRI Mandarin via Kunming
this hour only; while 9395 & 9955 WRMIs are JBA but not fluttery. Only
other hour 9455 could be something else per EiBi & Aoki: 21-22 with
ChiCom jamming and RFA via Tajikistan. 9455 WRMI is on again at 2349
with music from something (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Greg Hardison replies Jan 7 to my previous report:
``'Sportstalk 8-30 AM'....i.e. WQZQ Goodlettsville TN" -- That's where
I'd put my money, Glenn. Heard a beefy such-signal a couple of weeks
ago on a Georgia SDR, playing hell (as it were) with religious WTRU
and WCCO. Matched up the audio as a Local on a couple of
Nashville-vicinity SDRs, and there we had it! Would also bet WQZQ
cheats a bit with their night power; indeed I wasn't aware of any
actual night authorization whatsoever. But "irregardless" (sic), man,
I LOVE that SDR technology!!`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re: Kansas Public Radio hit by ice and snow. As of 18 UT Jan
7: ``Alert: Ice and snow are impacting KPR's broadcasts across our
network of towers. KANU (Lawrence, Topeka, KC) is on backup generator
power and is operating at a reduced capacity; KANQ (Chanute) is off
the air. Thank you for your patience and understanding!`` `StarDate`

** 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
chronology of his city`s history, and shot of him skateboarding. Lots
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?"...``
https://diariodecuba.com/cuba/1736176701_59201.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** 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,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Jan 6 at 2259, TRT is on, poor signal direct, 2300
JIP TRTWorld, tune-out (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. LW+ bandscan vs my huge local noise level, Jan 6 at 0702 UT,
produces audible MCW IDs from 293 FBY FairBurY NE; 326 MA MidlAnd TX;
algo on 338, probably RYN Tucson or TU TUlsa, and on 341 unreadable,
probably mixture of OIN OberlIN KS and DNI DeNIson TX (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2276 monitoring: Also confirmed
Sunday January 5 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.999-, S7/S9
into nearby Parma SDR while JBA at UTwente. The closest SDR, at Noale,
disappeared months ago.

Also confirmed Sunday January 5 at 2230 on SW Radio, Germany,
3975.002+, VP S7 into UTwente.

Also confirmed Sunday January 5 at 2337 the 2330 on WRMI 7570, S9/+12
into Georgia SDR; and still *also* on WRMI 7780, S7/9+2 into Georgia
SDR, with storm crashes.

Also confirmed UT Monday January 6 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S8/9+5 into
Georgia SDR.

Also confirmed UT Monday January 6 at 0400 on Area 51 webcast only;
that`s now on WBCQ 5130-, which had JL until 0400, then music until
0403*.

Also confirmed Monday January 6 at 2030 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975,
unheard at UTwente, but S5/S7 into Ireland SDR. Next:

0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW;
1400 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?];
1500 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [not Dec 31; canceled?];

Thanks this week for financial support from Chris Krug, Tulsa OK, a

all you do!``

Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** 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
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Kansas Public Radio hit by ice and snow --- Red notice atop
website https://kansaspublicradio.org/ where we tune weekdays at 1804
UT for StarDate:
``Alert: Ice and snow are impacting KPR's broadcasts across our
network of towers. KANQ (Chanute) is off the air. KANV (Juntion
City) and KANH (Emporia) are intermittent. KANU (Lawrence, Topeka, KC)
is currently at 2/3 signal. We do not expect conditions to improve
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:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,139458.0.html
(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
lite pulse jamming. Presumably not so lite within Cuba where my free
voice must not be heard.

Also confirmed UT Sunday January 5 at 0418 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO,
S9+22 into nearby SDR, about 2 minutes into so the 0415v started
almost on time circa 0416. Next:

2000 UT Sunday IRRS 1323-Italy;
