** BRAZIL. 4925, Dec 15 at 0021, JBA talk at S8 vs noise level of S9.
Presumably the only known station on frequency, Rádio Educação Rural,
Tefé, Amazonas; not anything from Asia as first suspected (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 4875+, Dec 15 at 0144, Brazuguese talk and music, S8-S9,
very slightly on plus side, i.e. Rdif. Roraima, Boa Vista (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 317 kHz, Dec 15 at 0226, dash and VC, 1000-watt ND beacon
at La Ronge, Saskatchewan.

326 kHz, Dec 15 at 0230 UT, dash and VV, 133-watt NDB at Wiarton,
Ontario, which http://www.dxinfocentre.com/ndb.htm says is among those
to be decommissioned 2020-03-26. I was tuned to 325 USB. When tuned to
326 instead hearing AAA, supposed to be on 329; see U S A (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 7293-7294, Dec 15 at 1545, FMish spurblob with Chinese
mixture // 7300-AM, which is a CNR1 jammer vs RTI frequency. No match
on the opposite side. Not to be confused with the Vietnam +8 kHz spur
from 7285 which finishes at 1330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** CHINA. 7335, Dec 15 at 1907, Chinese music, not Firedragon, S6-S7.
Scheduled is CRI Portuguese via Jinhua site; i.e. nothing but music
fill for months, probably same as heard after 2300 on 6100, 13650 via
Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5025, Dec 15 at 0020, R. Rebelde, S9+10 of dead air; and
still so at 0246 recheck. Is no one paying attention at the studio or
transmitter? Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5820, Dec 15 at 0242, JBA carrier where nothing is listed,
can`t pull any audio, but I recently computed this as a potential
leapfrog mixing product at Quivicán/Titán, 6180 CRI Chinese relay over
6000 RHC English, another 180 kHz below.

Harold Frodge, MI DXpedition, has also reported: ``UNKNOWNISTAN: 5820,
0128, 12/7; EE feature on the world economy, socialism vs capitalism &
mentioned Cuba. Co-ch SS QRM, not //6060 RHC. Nothing in EiBi or Aoki
(Frodge-DXP)`` RHC English could include Spanish bits.

5820 should contain the following: 01-02 CRI English & RHC English;
02-03 CRI Chinese & RHC English. Coincidentally two other frequencies
could also leap to 5820, 6000 & 5910, another 90 kHz down: 03-04 CRI
English & RHC English; 03-04 CRI Cantonese & RHC English. Reverse
leaps would be 6360 then 6090 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** SINGAPORE. 7355, Dec 15 at 1544, BBC Korean is S9+20, carrying on
very well far beyond the target from Kranji; no jamming audible,
scheduled 1530-1830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Sat Dec 14 at 2330, checking VOT via
UTwente SDR, `Turkish Cuisine` recipe show, VG signal but with
considerable LAH, i.e. from PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi, in Chinese, which is
always off-frequency-minus; Aoki says it starts at 2310. Its LAH even
more of a problem an hour later against the weekly Mighty Farty KBC
via Germany; but neither bothered much over here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U K [non]. 7445, Dec 15 at 1910, BBCWS in English about Algeria,
Mali, S8-S9 this early via MADAGASCAR, scheduled 15-20, 250 kW at 315
degrees inadvertently also USward. Some collisions, such as IRAN also
in English at 1520-1620, but that may be about to self-destruct (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 326? kHz, Dec 15 at 0727, ND beacon ID as AAA; only such
call listed is supposed to be on 329 kHz, 25 watts from Lincoln IL =
`Abraham Lincoln`. Not unusual to tune something 1 kHz off, but 3? The
town of Lincoln is on I-55 NE of Springfield, halfway to Bloomington
IL. When tuned to 325, I heard VV in Ontario, listed as 326; see
CANADA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 13565-CW, Dec 15 at 1454, K6FRC HIFER beacon from Patterson
CA is JBA, but usually no trace whenever checked, tuning by. I only
hear it around this time of day (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** U S A. 5085 and spur carriers 5072+, 5088-, Sat Dec 14 at 0128,
theatre organ while a few minutes earlier it was still ham stuff, so
must have just variably started on WTWW-2. Xmasmx with comments from
Bob Heil; lasts until 0157 when closing he remarx, `from our new
studio in Belleville, Illinois``. But is this really new or an
evergreen show? Is he still calling it `Theater Organ in the Ozarx`?
No doubt about Springfield MO area, but Belleville would really be
pushing beyond Ozarx. I soon had switched to $ tereo webcast which
has a new URL:

UNIDENTIFIED. 1520.7 approx., Dec 15 at 1912 UT, het upon KOKC; not
SAUDI ARABIA which would be exactly 1521.00, and probably KRHW
Sikeston MO previously off-frequency. Would be nice if someone nearby
or elsewhere in mid-America would measure what`s off.

BTW, after Saudi closes at 2230*, DXers in NE America have been
getting on 1521 the 500 kW CRI relay in EAST TURKISTAN, land of Uighur
brainwashing by the ChiCom (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7290, Dec 15 at 1906, JBA carrier this early, probably
IRRS via Romania(?). May be able to detect WOR direct until 1930 on
Dec 16 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7475, Dec 15 at 0740, open carrier; also noted a few
hours earlier when looking for YHWH. Also at 1542 when OC is S9+10,
still at 1553, 1623, with some light clicking once per second. Maybe
it`s a ute in this shared band? Nothing heard from RFE/RL in Tajik via
Thailand scheduled at 1400-1700, and nothing is listed earlier.

7475, Dec 15 at 1910, carrier with trace of mod? Should now be Radio
Thailand`s English hour direct to Europe (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

Transmitter went down a couple of times but came right back up. Signal
came up a bit at 0112 but still very noisy. Talk of technology and the
evolution of the dumbphone. Lots of talk about the advantages and
disadvantages of technology in our lives today. Among them the
inability to actually write with a pen and paper.

they've added people to the staff up at the station. Still maintains
that they will add the higher frequencies come spring. He then reads
the entire program schedule for the classic frequencies but I couldn't
copy most of them. Phone call at 0139 that Allan said he had to take
and he played some music to fill the broadcast. First time I can
remember him doing that.

Started reading some emails at 0141. As happened last week the last
six minutes of the program were cut off as nonstop station IDs by
Michael Ketter ran till 0200. John, Mid-North Indiana``

Having found SW reception before 0100 awful, and otherwise occupied, I
recorded the whole thing from webcast and checked it later. I could
then skip thru political rants, but hardly any this week.

Amid compliments to Angela, first long discussion of smartphones and
lamenting how the younger generation is so dependent on them that they
can`t even read handwriting. Strangely, no phone calls from anyone,
not even annoying Freddie --- maybe he can`t pick it up this week. At
0125 AW announces that he`s on 7490 & 5130; while 9330 remains with
WLC currently on 245 degree beam toward Mexico.

People have been added to the crew at Monticello, such as Tom Rounds,
so now there are two Toms, in addition to Barna. They are all mainly
keeping the S-S running, leaving the computer to run the Classic
frequencies with some spare-time oversight. Plans for it to go up to
some higher frequencies in January or February as spring approaches
[so has the frequency change difficulty been solved? We never heard
them testing on any of them]. The S-S is working fine [? but no signal
on 9330 at 1350 check Dec 14!].

Staff plan an Xmas eve party. No time is being leased on S-S now or in
forseeable future, all for WlC (and obviously now not even for
AAAWWW). 6160 transmitter has been rebuilt and is in good shape; needs
large client for it, even wackos [sic; until then, seems not on air at
all].

At 0133 he goes thru the program skeds on 7490 and 5130; but not in
order and he never mentions WORLD OF RADIO. At 0138 finally timestamps
this show as on 13th of December, YOOL 2019. 0139 phone rings for
first! time; instead of picking up he switches to music immediately as
he ``has to take it``, and back a minute later after ``taking care of
business``. At 0140 I check the SW frequencies again: 7490 is JBA;
5130 very slightly better during that brief music break which first
made me think it were another show. Nothing on 6160 or 3265; and 9330
of course with WLC instead.

Then they read something ``funny`` about p.c., ``It snowed so I made a
snowman``. 0145 reads press Artie Bigley sent [also to us] about huge
fines FCC has levied against two FM pirates in Boston. Another
opportunity for AW to plug WBCQ as a safer outlet for pirates to
exercise Free Speech [but how could it effectively serve Haitian
communities in Boston??] WBCQ rates have not been raised since it
started 20 years ago [not even for inflation?].

0155 caller wants advice on who can repair his HQ-100. Answer: Ted
McGill, and AW will send him contact info privately. 0157, asserts
that the S-S is getting good signal reports from everywhere, including
his own remote SDR chex. 0159 prayer by live Allan is again
interrupted before 0200 by ID from canned Allan, and Planet jingle,
just in time for Hal Turner show (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** U S A. 750, Dec 14 at 1331 UT, PSA about 529plan.com in Missouri,
fade-out and -in, more PSAs, one about skin cancer; song ``Sock it to
Me``. So it`s KBNN, Lebanon MO, 5 kW daytimer with 500-watt psra,
rather than KMMJ or WNDZ. That website doesn`t work but this is it:

UNIDENTIFIED. 2861.088, Dec 14 at 0237, carrier with maybe trace of
modulation. I`ve been hunting for 2-MHz-band MW harmonics but not much
lately, not even 2940+ from Colombia.

The 2860 area is next spot to focus on, as reported earlier in 2019:
```COSTA RICA [and non]. 2859.812, March 21 at 1153, JBA carrier,
suspected the known active second harmonic of 1430, Radio San Carlos,
as IDed recently by Jay Novello, NC, but without a precise
measurement. In *2017y* I reported:
``COSTA RICA. 2859.82, Jan 18 at 0049, JBA carrier on the signature
off-frequency of R. San Carlos, Ciudad Quesada, 2 x 1430v as
previously identified``.```

But this variant is considerably different, way on plus side.
Fundamental would be 1430.555. Any clues in MW Offsets, which does not
deal with harmonicizing?
http://mwlist.org/mwoffset.php?khz=1430

Nominal 1430 starts with the CR from almost a decade ago:
1429.91 TIRDVC Radio San Carlos (Ciudad Quesada) 1100-0400 2010-01-16

And skipping down to the most plus:
1430.0119 MEX XEWD Radio X (Ciudad Miguel Alemán) 2016-01-26
1430.018 PRU La Voz de Salvación (Jaén)[-1430.125] 2019-02-10
Neither of which looks likely; or domestic? Anyhow calls for further
checking (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5006.0, Dec 14 at 0653, JBA carrier. Have also noted it
around sunrise. The only known station on 5006 is per Aoki/NDXC:
``5006 0000-2400 J HFD Radio Station H3A Tokyo-Chofu 1-7``
EiBi is more explicit: ``5006 0000-2400 J JG2XA Propag.Studies FE f``

Seems a bit early, almost 16 local for this low-power thing to be
propagating, but maybe. Ron Howard has reported it several times; 200
watts, HFD means high-frequency Doppler; but there was also something
else on 5006 in CW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Note: everything(?) correct in last report (starting with CANADA 350
kHz), until the very last number: obviously, it was posted at 0032 UT
Dec 14, NOT 13.

This report dispatched at 2321 UT December 14
