Hauser
** AUSTRALIA. 28455 USB, Dec 25 at 2309, VK2XZ making quick contacts.
QRZ.com: ``VK2XZ Australia flag Australia, Rob VK2XZ, Southern
Highlands, POB 891 Bowral NSW 2576, Australia`` Apparently his surname
is classified unless it`s legally changed to `VK2XZ` - can you do that
in NSW? A broader websearch finds it: Robert James Long (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 28472 USB, Dec 25 at 2310, PY3PA Paulo with quick contacts
including KP4TV. QRZ.com: ``PY3PA Brazil flag Brazil, PAULO SANTOS,
DAVID RIBEIRO, 555, AP.201, TOMAZETI, CEP 97065-000, SANTA MARIA - RS,
Brazil`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHILE. 28505 USB, Dec 25 at 2313, CA3PHX, Mauro in quick contacts.
QRZ.com: ``CA3PHX Chile flag Chile, Mauricio "Mauro" Pacheco, La
Florida santiago chile, Wsp +56984082037, Chile`` - lots of equipment
and face photos (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.860+, Dec 25 at *2116, S9+35 silent carrier cuts on
into UTwente, after nothing at 2115. Soon talk, extremely suptorted,
2218 ``Radio Cairo presents -- Turkey(?)`` sounded like. Something`s
always awful at Abis and/or crappy at Cairo (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EUROPE. 7399.906-, Dec 25 at 1644 into UTwente, S7 rock music from
R. Marconi International; 1647 English announcement with frequencies,
mostly unreadable, 1648 back to music. 1726 another announcement break.
Nothing heard there on 11390. 1800 s/off announcement.

Tnx to Manuel Méndez who had just posted: ``MARCONI RADIO
INTERNATIONAL 25th December SCHEDULE - Please be advised that Marconi
Radio International (MRI) will be on the air 25 December 2024, as
follows: 1330-1800 UT on 7400 (50 w) and 11390 kHz (25 w).`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 21580, Dec 25 at 1609, OSOB JBA, this hour in Hausa from
RFI via Issoudun (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Dec 25 at 0735, still zero signal from R.
Kiribati: would have been just the day to turn it back on. I check
almost every night just in case; it used to be a regular JBA carrier,
so far east from the rest of Kiribati, about the same longitude as
Hawaii, that it could be detected as early as 0430 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6935 USB, Dec 25 at 0156, S9+10 of Xmas carols,
jazzed up and frantic, such as Jingle Bells, The First Noel; 0208 Ho
ho ho, wish you a merry Xmas and HNY. 0221 again with Two Dog Radio
ID. 0306 still going with ho3`s. More reports here until 0243*:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,138837.0.html
Followed from 0246 by Santa Claus Radio, really same station?:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,138839.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Dec 25 at 2259, RNE S9+30/40 direct, 2300 TS and
token English. No signal here on 12030 but JBA carriers on 17715 &
17755, but at 2326 into UTwente, 12030.000+ is there at S8/S9. Opening
previews feature about tiny Xmas trees, one of 2 centimeters in
Galicia, but that`s huge compared to one of 10 micrometers which can
be seen only thru an electron microscope. And later, more Xmas
traditions. 2302 no news but Xmas in Mideast: pope calls for
ceasefire; there were 1000 Xians in Gaza; let`s try to celebrate;
Xians in Syria asked to scale back celebrations - preceding seems by
their Lebanon correspondent. 2304 contact info including
english@rtve.es. 2305 tune `Rockin` Around the Xmas Tree` and on about
the tiny ones (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.004-, Dec 25 at 2258, VOT with IS, S9+10/20 but JBA
direct vs HNL. 2226 into UTwente when measured, S9+35/45 music, 2329
`The Middle East and Turkey` about Pres. E`s address to a group of 8
countries, V8, or what? music, 2353 s/off as if 1330 on 13635, awry, 6
notes of IS before chop at 2354* uncovering Chinese, no finesse,
erroneous (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U K. 11900, Texas Radio Shortwave, *0300-0400* UT Dec 25, 250 kW
from Woofferton: Too weak JBA direct to OK; sufficient into Maryland
SDR, S7/S9, opens with YL ID amid jingling bells; holds up for full
hour except for increasing fast flutter - true SW sound! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28278 CW, Dec 25 at 2308, VVV DE W7UUU/B, with loong pauses.
Ditto my Dec 4 log, q.v., not listed: Dave Ellison, Burley WA. 28300
K6FRC also in (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2274 monitoring: confirmed UT
Wednesday December 25 at 0030 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.003, S9/+10
into UTwente.

Also confirmed UT Wednesday December 25 at 0030 on WRMI, 9395,
S9+15/20 into Maryland SDR.

Also confirmed Wednesday December 25 at 2030 on SW Radio, Germany,
3975, JBA into recommended Bedford UK SDR; no signal into UTwente.

Also confirmed Wednesday December 25 at 2226 the 2200 on WBCQ 7489.93,
S9+10/20 but noisy direct. Next:

0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 12160, Dec 25 at 1622, WWCR-2 surrounded by gunk, squeals
out to plus/minus 10 kHz, center S9+45. Same transmitter elsewhen on
5935, 7490, 9350. However, at this time cannot be blamed on TOMBS feed
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 9960, Dec 25 at 0618, JBA carrier from reactivated R.
Vanuatu; via remotes, Ron Howard first reported it back at 0245; and
after 0658 changed to 3945. Unfortunately, still fails to radiate
convenient harmonix on 7890, 11835, which I routinely check in
bandscans (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN. 9710, Dec 25 at 0718, RCC style chanting, can`t discern
language, S3/S4 direct. Now is major VR frequency both in local
evenings and mornings, tho not sked at this exact time per EiBi,
presumably Xmas special. Detailed multi-lingual schedules here, date
by date, everything but - frequencies!

Hauser
** AUSTRIA [and non]. Media Broadcast B24 schedule: NDR Gruß an Bord
at 1800-2100 Dec 24: Nothing really listenable direct, possible only
on 11, 13 and 15. WRMI 15770 as usual too weak here off the side. At
1844+ I check UTwente. All of them are in music, except 9635.000-
German talk! Later they are all talking but 9635 does not match. Must
be way out of synch at Moosbrunn, why? 13829.999+ Nauen, 11649.999+
Issoudun, 6079.962 Tashkent VG S9+20/30, 6030.047- ISS VG S9+20/25. By
2057 check, 9635 is off already; 6079.962 with lots of applause, no
ID, and 2100 into Korean: nothing so scheduled in Aoki & EiBi, but
China already in Chinese at 2025-0100 on 6080. Ahá, in EiBi by time,
Korean starts at 2100 via Uzbekistan on 7540, Clandestine Voice of
Martyrs. RFA & CRI also Korean but not via Tashkent (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7475, Dec 24 at 0724, intonations of Josiah on
another late broadcast from Station YHWH. Since he`s anti-Christ, is
he also anti-Xmas? S7 = noise level (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PUERTO RICO [and non]. 391 MCW kHz, Dec 24 at 0735, DDP, NDB
audible again; so I also check frequencies for some other LAm targets
as previously lined up: 385 has a JBA carrier which could be PTP,
Guadeloupe; but really logged recently was UWL, 25 watts at New Castle
IN (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Dec 24 at 2326, no REE signals into UTwente, but it`s
ill-positioned. At 2328 into Maryland SDR, 9690 VG, 12030 sufficient,
nothing audible on 17715 & 17755. Spanish/Sephardic Xmas? stuff, not
English on a Tuesday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Dec 24 at 2302 and 2315 direct, NO signal from VOT
English, nor at 2325 into UTwente, but plenty Chinese. At 2302 algo on
possible accidental alternate 9610, but at 2325 that`s not VOT either
but presumed Mongolian. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2274 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday December 24 at 0330 on WRMI 7780. VG S9+18/20 into S TX SDR.

Missed checking Tue Dec 24 at 1400 & 1500 on WRMI 9955; anyone hear
them?

Confirmed Tuesday December 24 at 2102 the 2100 on IRRS SW via AM
Italia, 1322.999-, S8 but noisy into 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;

** U S A. 5850, Dec 24 at 0720, JBA carrier instead of TOMBS inbooming
on WRMI-12: exciter only or totally off clearing for something else,
nothing listed. Equal signal on 5840. 5850 back on as usual by 2300
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 7570, Dec 24 at 2305, WRMI-11 is missing again
instead of starting at 2300, while 7730 & 7780 are poorly audible. JBA
signal on 7570, presumably KCBS, not the one in San Francisco (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9350, Dec 24 at 2252, WWCR-2 with squealing gunk both sides
out to 9335/9365, S9+50 at center. Same transmitter which does the
same later out of 5935. Its other channels are 7490 & 12160 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 650, Dec 24 at 2309, two stations mixing about equally,
surely WSM TN and KGAB WY (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 680, Dec 24 at 2310 UT, ``Legends of Country - KKYX`` promo:
50/10 kW San Antonio TX (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5840, Dec 24 at 0720, JBA carrier. Only station known is
FRS Holland, but publicized holiday broadcasts not at this time nor
date rather than Dec 22 & 25. Equal mini-signal on 5850, WRMI? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9797.5 USB, Dec 24 at 0726, 2-way in unID language, not
Spanish, intruders (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

With holiday greetings, this report posted at 0026 UT December 25

** BRAZIL. 28465 USB, Dec 23 at 2304, PP5BT, CQDX from Sta. Catarina,
quick contacts in English, Spanish, one with a KQ4. QRZ.com: ``PP5BT
Brazil flag Brazil, Rodrigo Gonçalves, Rua Alfonso Nicolao Bornhofen,
163, Blumenau, SC 89032452, Brazil (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 870, Dec 23 at 0723 UT, wobbler with WWL; and same
sound at 0727 JBA under 1040 WHO. Yet to notice these on any other
channels (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, Dec 23 at 1551, JBA carrier, again the only trace of
RHC these days, where somethings` always very2 wrong (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13650, Dec 23 at 2308 check, no signal from the pointless CRI
``Portuguese`` music-only relay, but I bet it`s not gone for good.
Other CRI relays are still running if not RHC itself (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, Dec 23 at 1921 UT, STILL dead air from 17-1,
K17JN-D, 3ABN, Enid`s only local TV signal, as first noted Dec 9 but
may well have been longer before I noticed. Do they have *any* viewers
who might care? Or anyone in charge? Also still displaying WRONG ID,
K17JI-D which is really in Fresno, California, as I first noticed over
a year ago on Nov 25, 2023! Ditto (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Mon Dec 23 at 2300, token English from SNR, S9+10 but
too noisy direct; 12030 JBA carrier, 17715 even weaker JBA carrier,
17755 trace? 9690 also no good into UTwente; but at 2325, VG S8/9+10
into Maryland SDR, interview about National Museum of Decorative Arts
exhibition until Jan 13, 2326 music. SNR is really hooked on filling
its very limited English airtime with stuff about museum exhibitions,
which one can`t really appreciate with no video and no visit (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9610.006-, Sun Dec 22 at 2145, VOT English, VG S9/+5 into
UTwente, emission aimed oppositely during `Weekly Analysis`. 2152
multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2154 music. 2204 finally start
`Letterbox` later in hour than usual, rotating to different OM host
who never names himself - as if I could have understood it anyway.
Quick acknowledgements and mostly ignores questions or points raised
by writers. 1) Ilpo --, Finland, boasting? 2) Siddartha Battacharji?,
a regular from India, wants swag, heard Dec 10. How many human rights
violations are there in Turkey? Wants to be official monitor. 3) Ricky
Hein, Rapid City SD, has trouble hearing 5960, 15111. 4) Mohammed
Akir? Bashir?, Pakistan. 5) separate from same? 6) another from same,
NY wishes. 7) Terry Ford, London, QSL? for 6050 on 15/12. 8) Alan Roe,
England asks for holiday program details to add to his calendar. 9)
Jayanta Chakraborty?, New Delhi, wants QSL and calendar [is there one
offered??] 10) Chris Melfort, BC, Canadian postal strike has ended.
2214 `L`box` outro without any irrelevant music padding; and
``always-by-your-side`` promo. I monitor no further, but am not tied
to this at 2334, when I do make a quick check of 5960 direct to find
it JBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.003+, Dec 23 at 2301, VOT not off the air, S9/+10 but
too noisy direct. At 2323 into UTwente when measured, VG S9+35/45 with
music, 2328 Efsun the axentuated, something about sunlight, apparently
`That`s Why`. Music, some rhumble, 2353 s/off as if 1330 on 13635:
something`s always awry at Ankara. 2353 IS until chop 2354.4* (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 293 MCW kHz, Dec 23 at 0702 UT, luckily, FBY in FairBurY NE
and UI in qUIncy IL are taking turns at about equal levels rather than
overlapping as their NDB periods are only a fraxion of a second
different (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 335 MCW kHz, Dec 23 at 0707 UT, BV, 25 watts `Almnd`,
Batesville AR, JBA aside 332 IC wIChita, as I am tuned to 333 USB
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2274 monitoring: Also confirmed
Sunday December 22 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.999-, S9
into UTwente across Europe.

Also confirmed Sunday December 22 at 2118 the 2100 on WRN Europe
webcast.

Also confirmed Sunday December 22 at 2234 the 2230 on SW Radio,
Germany, 3975.002+, S7/S9 but noisy into UTwente.

Also confirmed Sunday December 22 at 2330 on WRMI 7780, JBA here off
the side, still on substitute frequency instead of 7570 which had been
reactivated but missing now (and 24h later at 2300 Dec 23, 7570 is
on)

Also confirmed UT Monday December 23 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9/+10 into
S Texas ``RGV`` remote.

Also confirmed UT Monday December 23 at 0400 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6160
-69 Hz = 6159.931, S4/S7 into Maryland SDR, after JL gotta go in
time.

Also confirmed Monday December 23 at 2035 the 2030 on SW Radio,
Germany, 3975.002+, S7/S9 but noisy into UTwente; also checked their
recommended Bedford UK remote, S9 and noisy. Next:

0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW;

** U S A. 9955-9995, Dec 23 at 2310, 9980 WWCR is spewing gunk way out
on both sides, worst 9965-9995, but detectable next to 9955 WRMI. Is
same #4 transmitter dedicated to TOMBs as on 5890 later as I have
already complained.

BUT, 9910-9950 spews similar sounds from WTWW-1 9930. Both of course
much stronger here than squeezed WRMI. It seems quite clear that the
problem is in the modulation of the program feed from Walterboro.
Stations need to find some way to filter all those squeals and
sidespurs out (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9275, Dec 23 at 2315, WMLK is on, S9+10/20 direct, someone
trying to solo sing but not a recognizable hymn. Seems this frequency
is hit-or-miss, supposed to be on 6 days a week at 2300-0400 except UT
Sabbaths or starting Fridays 2300. Seems I have not noticed any signal
on some unSabbath evenings. Aoki imagines it`s 7 dpw. Still on at 0158
UT Tuesday Dec 24 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 900, Dec 23 at 0724 UT, almost a `graveyard` now, hear
Harrison mentioned in ad, so KHOZ Harrison AR, U1 1000/62 watts. Take
that, XEW! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 970, Dec 23 at 0726 UT, YL ID ``102.5 The Lake`` non ID =
per NRC AM Log, WMAY Springfield IL, U4 1000/500 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** URUGUAY. 28476 USB, Dec 23 at 2306, CX2TQ, QRZ and quick contacts in English. QRZ.com: ``CX2TQ Uruguay flag Uruguay, (Paul) JOSE PABLO AMENDOLA CARRASCO, RINCON 39, ROCHA - CP: 27000, Uruguay`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 328 MCW kHz, Dec 22 at 0748 UT, dash and YTL, 1000 watt NDB
at Big Trout Lake, Ont. I`m copying it on 329 USB, which I thought was
its frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 1040, Dec 22 at 0224, wobbler is JBA under WHO and
Florida. Not heard on 870 this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY. Uncle Bill Tilford replies to my last report about no
reception of `Melting Pot`, Dec 21 at 0400 on 9670: ``I did get an
accurate, detailed reception report from a listener in Uruguay using a
remote websdr in North Carolina, but yeah, this has performed poorly
two weeks in a row. Whether seasonal propagation or something at the
transmitter, no sense in keeping the 0400 broadcast. Even when the
signal is better it wrestles with the Brazilian evangelists on 9665,
so that was the last transmission at 0400.``

So I try the next play: At 1800 am getting 9670 fairly well via
UTwente, despite proximity to Channel 292, but deep fades - not much
at SDRs in Russia, Cyprus, Romania, etc. And nothing on two SDRs in
India, despite S Asian `target`. And then by 1814 fades down and
almost out at UTwente. Try Ireland, even tho in wrong direxion. I`m
getting it fairly now on one of those, vs some noise. That too loses
out by around 1840.

One more chance, 2200 on 6070 and 3955. 6070 is no good into UTwente,
but 3955 is S9+5/15, no QRM and holds up so I hear the whole show.

While I am all for programming to be on Shortwave, primarily, it`s too
bad if there be no backup/alternative allowed for those who really
want to hear it, such as webcast, even on-demand (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** MALI. 5995, Dec 22 at 0759, JBA signal, presumed R Mali remnant; I
stay on it watching the watch for it to cut off, which it does at
0800:44*. Then I switch to 9635 and wait for it to cut on, which it
does exactly one sesquiminute later at *0802:14 during music, now
S6/S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6880 AM, Dec 22 at 0145, pirate music S9+10 but JBA
vs noise at same level. Off by 0201 check. Many reports here including
complete? playlist, 2248-0157* but nary an ID:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,138653.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950 USB, Dec 22 at 0146 hard rock, just started?
Not heard as I tuned across a minute or two before. S9+10/20. 0203
hard rock screaming version almost parody of carol ``Tidings of
Comfort & Joy``, and more like that at 0236. These say it`s Two Dog
Radio, at 0145-0300*, ``Christmas show with great metal versions of
the classics!`` and more to come tomorrow night:

** ROMANIA. 7250, Dec 22 at 0156, new S9+30 bigsig here, Portuguese?
song. No, must be Romanian, 0200 RRI ID and more music. Also heard by
others in WOR iog; ex-9700. Jean-Michel Aubier says, ``Most of RRI
frequencies have been changed recently. All services are affected
except Serbian, Italian, Ukrainian and Aromanian``

John A. Figliozzi says, ``Romanian has moved to 7250 kHz. This is not
currently noted on the rri.ro website as far as I can tell.
Parenthetically, weekends especially relay music  programs from the
domestic Radio Romania Muzical. Currently, at 0204, there’s a
classical music concert in progress. RRI’s transmitters are top notch
and put a very strong signal into at least Eastern NA from both their
NA and EU services. 0500-0557 the Romanian language program relays the
morning program from the domestic Radio Romania Actualitati on 7220
kHz that includes many pop music selections.``

Ricky Leong, Calgary, Alberta, Canada: ``In EE at 0400 UTC, they are
using both 7410 kHz (registered in HFCC but not in use until now in
B24) and 9510 (registered frequency and regularly in use so far during
B24). First noticed this yesterday and it seems to be happening again
today. 73``

Hope this is up to date or comprehensive including alternates:

BTW, 7250 is an INTRUDER into the American ham band. Why does HFCC
tolerate that? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 7265, Dec 22 at 0157, VOT IS and Spanish IDs, S9+20/30
direct; for Central America, another INTRUDER into 40m hamband (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.004-, Sat Dec 21, S9+30/40 via UTwente VG at 2300.5
tune-in, olds already underway about Magdeburg so suspect had a
head-start before 2300.0 as occasionally happens. Already over at
2308.5 for ``with-you-every-hour`` promo, and no CCCCCCI maybe not
quite yet signed on. 2309 `The Energy Agenda` about 7 categories of
energy storage technologies, i.e. buy when cheapest and release when
needed: batteries & cells; thermal/water; mechanical/hydraulic;
compressed air; liquified air; giant batteries/dams. Is that 7, or 6?
2314 ``always-by-your-side`` promo. 2315 music. 2319 ``a-b-y-s`` again
already! 2323 `Turkey`s Geomarked Products` repeat, something with
hazelnuts, recipe. 2325.5 music and now the 6CI is JBA. 2343
``a-b-y-s`` for 3rd time! Well, always means her zaman; and more music
until 2352 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2354 s/off as if 1330 on
13635: something`s always awry at Ankara. 2355 IS for 8 notes and chop
uncovering Chinese, no finesse. Something`s always erroneous at
Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 341 MCW kHz, Dec 22 at 0750, DNI, 25-watt NDB at
Sherman-DeNIson TX is JBA, now with no competition from defunct EI, EnId
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7490-, UT Sun Dec 22 at 0200, NO signal from WBCQ, which
should be in `SW Saturday Night` with J P. What`s wrong? But 6160- is
on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1040 kHz, Dec 22 at 0224 UT, surprised to hear two signals
about equal, WHO on N/S antenna, and on E/W loop at 0225 an ad in
English for something between Tarpon Springs and Naples, i.e. Florida,
but those are nowhere near each other. T.S. is close to WHBO, Pinellas
Park, U2 3600/420. Radio-locator shows night pattern with a minor lobe
to NW, not day pattern. Certainly doing well if 420 watts. The only
other FL on 1040 is WURN Miami, Spanish beamed away from us, but
closer to Naples than WHBO (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 810.566 approx., Dec 22 at 0213 UT, big het against WHB,
no modulation on it. Not there at 0508 check, but JBA at 0620. No idea
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Dec 22 at 0150:
819 and 1053 kHz only. 819 nuzzled up right next to the far-right
extremists on WBAP, detectable tuning both 818 USB and 820 LSB: maybe
300 kW EGYPT as speculated a week ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1200 kHz, Dec 22 at 0228 UT, much like the situation on
1040, on N/S antenna I have WOAI of course, but E/W loop is getting
something else in English, ad for texting `bean 717767`, fade. Someone
easterly likely still on ND day pattern and power. WRTO Chicago is
fairly common but did not get a bearing on this and it`s Spanish
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
