** U S A. 1510 kHz, Dec 3 at 0637 UT, traditional choral Xmas carols,
with WLAC nulled about 6 Hz away. I`m checking following reports that
R. Monumental, Ecuador was being widely heard in N America, but
unlikely to be this. 0700 English ID mentions translator but I can`t
copy any calls. Another try at 0800: KPLS Littleton CO plus 97.7 and
92.9. NRC AM Log shows that`s the `K-plus` group, with KPLS-FM on 97.7
and K225CZ on 92.9. Unless a daytime cheater, I figured it would
likely be this, due to paucity of 1510 night stations around here;
yet, seemingly unlikely due to tight NNE/SSW pattern both day and
night, so we are very much in a null; out of whack? KPLS is also
remarkable with a much *higher* power at night, 10/25 kW. Night
coverage:
https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KPLS&service=AM&h=N
Own website shows nothing but 1510, and programming, other stuff such
as Radio 74 International, correlate with 3ABN = 7DA TV network.

WLAC is dominant signal here, 50 kW, but direxional night with 3 big
lobes and 2 deep nulls toward Spokane and Boston:
https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=WLAC&service=AM&h=N

As for the 6 Hz SAH, that does not compute for WLAC vs KPLS, but does
fit recent measurements for WLAC vs Quito at
http://mwlist.org/mwoffset.php?khz=1510
However it seems that KPLS varies (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Sat Dec 2 at 1835, LRA36 is underway,
with music, S4/S6 into Argentine SDR; 1838 `Uniendo Voces` mostly
talk; 1852 ``Antártida`` song. Circa 1920, NO signal direct. 2052
music, 2102 ID; by 2157 I am getting trace of a signal direct. At 2300
much better S9 direct about same as intermittent line noise peaks,
lively music. Back to Arg remote at 0006 Dec 3, still on about meteo
conditions, S9 peaks. 0028 continues, weaker (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL [and non]. 11815, Dec 2 at 0747, R Brasil Central music but
considerable CCCCCCI, as CNR1 jamming is scheduled here until 0800
against RTI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** INDONESIA. 7289.93, Dec 2 at 0810, tho I`d rather not be, finally I
am semi-awake late enough to try for RRI Nabire - and there it is! on
signature off-frequency, S4/S7 of music. Frequently reported by Ron
Howard, Asilomar State Beach, CA, including right now:

``INDONESIA. 7289.93, RRI Nabire Pro 1, from 0745 till suddenly cut
off in mid-song at 0820* UT, Dec 2. Seeing as Christianity is a major
religion in this area, they have already started playing some Xmas
songs ("Jingle Bells" and "Joy To The World"). My music audio is at

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6930 USB, Dec 2 at 2325 rock and DJ talk, S9+10.
Many reports at HFU say it`s WDOG. Some editors refuse to publish linx
to that: why?

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TAIWAN [non]. 15320, Dec 2 at 0300 & 0325 recheck, zero signals
from RTI in English, or anything else, into KiwiSDRs in Indonesia,
Thailand, Vietnam. Despite s/off announcements on the only English
broadcast at 1600-1700 on 9405, well heard direct. Also, another
program schedule version via Alan Roe in Dec NASWA Journal shows the
mailbag, `Status Update` at 1645 not only Wed but also Tue, while
previous programming during those hours differs. I have not yet
confirmed whether it axually air on Tuesdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.005, Dec 2 at 2305, VOT again not off the air,
detectable direct, vs S9+40 noise level; R75 Noise Blanker helps.
UTwente next at 2344, multi-lingual ID filler reel, S9+20/30; s/off
and start IS at 2353.6, restart 2356 with German IDs. 0000 timesignal
and s/on as ``Die Stimme von Türkije`` - previously I heard them
omitting the ``von``; times, SW and satellite frequencies for midday
and evening broadcasts, not this extraneous one! Still on past 0028;
shall we expect Portuguese at 0100? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28265 CW, Dec 2 at 2315, DE K6SSB/B repeating. Not in WI5V
beacon roster on any frequency, and no beacon mentioned on his
QRZ.com: ``K6SSB USA flag USA, Matthew J Iaconis, 650 Ash Ct,
Brentwood, CA 94513, USA`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2219 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday December 2 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, S7/9+10 into Maine SDR;
would surely be better closer to NW boresight from FL.

NOT confirmed Sat Dec 2 at 1630 on WRMI 15770, rather a gospel huxter
as now shown on the websked. This airing did not last long. May have
already been gone last Sat when not checked. Still shows WOR, Thu 1500
on 9955, which I thought was already canceled; check again?

Confirmed Saturday December 2 at 1700 on WRN North America stream.

Also confirmed Saturday December 2 at 2034 about 2 minutes into so
started circa 2032 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, VG S9+20 into nearby SDR;
also underway the 2030s on WRN N America webcast and RMI webcast only.

** U S A. 5130+, Dec 2 at 0123 I happen to recheck `AAAWWW` on WBCQ
just as Allan is saying he doesn`t want to talk about the 7490V
transmitter problems, but they were caused by a ``vacuum capacitor the
size of a dill pickle`` - now we know! Also datestamp as Dec 1 so it
is a new show after some weeks off. As for the standard opening, I
can`t imagine any other SW personality always introduced as
``half-nekkid`` of even ``half-naked`` --- and BTW, *which* half?
oooh. Of course on an aural-only medium anyvoice could be fully naked
and we`d never know it if not mentioned (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, Dec 2 at 0431, WTWW continues to blast in, S9+50 so
that modulation is also audible on much weaker spurs 5072.1 & 5097.9.
After another gospel huxter, ex-bishop Bob Biermann restarts ``weekend
edition`` of `Truth 2 Ponder`, explaining that he has been undergoing
treatment for bladder cancer the past year. More surgery is sked for
Tuesday, and he hopes to have enough shows recorded by then to last
thru his recovery. Then in January will be immunotherapy. Meanwhile he
``covets`` prayers - I guess in this case coveting is not sinful; anyhow I
wish him well.

5085, Dec 2 at 2317, WTWW blasting in S9+40 with preacher; I was about
to assume serious transmitter problems, breaking up and frequency
wobbling rapidly, until I realized the R75 noise blanker still
engaged, unable to cope with extremely strong signal (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1630 kHz, Dec 2 at 0809 UT, KKGM Ft Worth TX with Black
Information Network promo and joint ID for 1630 & 970 in DFW. 970
would be KHVN, also licensed to Ft Worth, why both? For ancient radios
without X-band? No longer heavenly but keeping previous calls.
Radio-locator shows night coverage of 270-watt 970 from site just NE
of FW, ``local`` contour falls short of Dallas; unlike 1 kW 1630 which
from site further NE of FW halfway to Irving, exceeds almost to Balch
Springs, both ND. Studio address axually in Dallas (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Dec 1 at 2300, token English from SNR, VG direct.
2310 feature is interview about a Forbidden Art Museum in Barcelona
which opened at Octend, such as that of Ai Weiwei. See!

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.004, Dec 1 at 2300, VOT again not off the
air in English, S9+10 direct vs S9 line noise level = VP, no
comparison to simulSPAIN 9690. Caught last few words of s/off into IS
at 2353.6, S9+30 into UTwente, until 2355* uncovering the 6CI, std
denunciation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2219 monitoring: not confirmed
Friday December 1 at 2130 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, JBA into
UTwente but no CCI, enough to tell it`s #2218 instead. I was late in
uploading it to IRRS server! They now have 2219 for further airings.
This also reminds me to be sure WRMI has it ASAP. I seem to be getting
forgetful. Via Dec BDXC-UK Communication, note this:

``A test transmission has been heard on 1323 kHz from the Brighton
(Southwick) transmitter which used to carry Smooth Radio Sussex. The
announcement stated “This is an engineering test transmission to
establish the feasibility of new commercial and community radio
stations. If you can hear this broadcast we would be very grateful for
your reception report. You can email broadcastconsultant@gmail.com
Thank you for listening and enjoy the music we have for you as part of
this test transmission.” (mediumwave.info 12-13 November)``

So WOR from Italy on 1323, Fri 2130 & Sun 2100, may regain CCI, but so
far clear even unto UTwente.

** U S A. Checking WBCQ activity pre-AAAWWW, Dec 2 at 0043, first
trying W1NT NH SDR, but it`s disabled due to 160m contest: and it was
disabled previous weekend for some other ham contest, why? To
discourage cheating?

Maine one is really too close but into it: 3265 off; 5130.252 ATATT
S7/9+10; 6159.933 TOMBS S8/9+10; 7489.944 FKB S7/S9; 9330+ WLCR PP
S9/+10. Its calibration is pretty close but unstable: WWV 5 & 10 MHz
displaying within 1 or 2 Hz. After 0100 seems like may be a new show,
80 degrees today in central FL which NWS confirms. Angela is
half-nekkid again (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
