** ANDORRA [non]. 7515, Dec 31 at 1930, S9+40 into UTwente, R. Andorra
special via ARMENIA, lots of pop music but also long intervals of
colloquial French conversation between two? guys. 1948 multi-lingual
ID in Spanish, French, English, Catalan? 2023 resumes music. Still
going thru 2300 UT with music which would be *2026y in Andorra.
Scheduled until 0100 UT. There is a continuous light whine seemingly
from the Noratus transmitter rather than QRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140 Dec 31 at 1613, RHC Spanish S7/S9 with windhowl, //
15230 S7/S9 in the clear (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 13570, 13820, 15380, Dec 31 at 1615, R. Martí playing
`My Favorite Things` song in English, which would seem off-topic
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Dec 31 at 2255 UT, Auld Lang Syne, on bagpipes? 2256
excited hosts in Spanish about the imminent new year on REE, no
English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.003, Dec 31 at 2333, `Eine Kleine
Nachtmusik` by Mozart - can this be VOT? and so close to on-frequency?
Yes, finally at 2338 Efsun speaks in English, 2339 ``one last story``
but instead more music, this time Brazilian. It`s S9+30/35 but during
talk, the CCCCCCI can be underheard. 2345 `Happy New Year` in a few
languages including Russian, then story about an African gray parrot
from California, Nigel who changed its accent. 2346 Strauss march.
2349 outro as was `2025 year in review`. 2355 retune already in IS;
2356 restart IS, one German ID before chopoff uncovering the 6CI which
provided a timesignal at hourtop, official start of 2026y per UT/z/GMT
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 359 MCW kHz, Dec 31 at 0746 UT, GGF, 25-watt NDB at Grant
NE, the only somewhat unusual one this bandscan (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 28202+ CW, Dec 31 at 1619, only beacon encountered is
KA3BWP/B. WGB list: ``28203.0 KA3BWP/B - Stafford VA USA FM18gk - #0
(27 Dec 2025) Note: VVV × 5 + ID + grid`` - Stafford is just north of
Frederixburg on I-95 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2327 monitoring: confirmed
Wednesday December 31 at 2030 on SW Radio Gold, Grmany, 3975, S9/+10
into recommended Bedford UK SDR.

Also confirmed Wednesday December 31 on WBCQ 7490 -31 Hz = 7489.969,

One may also contribute, not necessarily in US funds via PayPal to:
woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15770, Wed Dec 31 at 1616, WRMI S6/S7 surprisingly in Korean
talk, with music. Sked for WRMI-9 on red System D this hour is VOSR
International. Maybe a clip within that DX program? Recheck at 1657,
S9+10 into Maryland SDR, rock song in English, no program outro before
1659.5 ID, 1700 into Supreme Master TV (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1280, Dec 31 at 0702 UT, another try for the WNAM DX tests,
tuning direct: *no* sign of it past 0706, just ``AM 1280 The Patriot,
Intelligent Radio`` from Minneapolis, self-promotion over and over but
never heard legal calls WWTC. Surprised this was not in the way last
night when I could hear WNAM. WWTC runs 10/15 kW U4 = yes, higher
power at night. Major lobe to NNE at night, secondary lobe to SSW, but
with notches a little more to the SW:

** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Tue Dec 30 at 2309, RAE via WRMI, VG direct
in `Atualidade DX` program in Portuguese, already underway, something
about Malawi; 2310 multi-lingual ID reel; 2311 DX news compiled by
Arnaldo Slaen including: Sked of WMR Denmark; Bangladesh on 4750 -
hasn`t that been gone almost a year? Still in Aoki, not EiBi or WRTH;
Vietnam Democracy Radio, 9670 via Paochung [Taiwan], 1230-1258 100 kW;
7515 Guam with Living Water Ministry in Korean, missed time, but Aoki
& EiBi show that only on 9900 at 1500-1600 via unknown site. BSKSA
Riyadh on 15120 at 09-11 with 500 kW --!? AFAIK it`s totally gone from
SW, even the Yemen service. R. Progreso, Cuba 4765 until 0400* -
almost correct, in `winter` until nominal 0500* when it`s not AWOL. R.
Omdurman, Sudão, 100 kW on 7200 heard in SAm from 0400 on 7200! This
has been gone from SW for a long time, or was it 7205? Some of these
wrong items seem familiar; I suspect they are rerunning very old
reports/show! Then something about the TELAM news agency in a new?
deal? with R. Nacional in Argentina. Not clear what this is about but
R. Nacional has a bunch of UNDATED stories about the Milei government
vs TELAM! English translations offered:

** CUBA. 13650, Dec 30 at 2303, S9+25 of dead air instead of fill
music instead of Portuguese from CRI relay. Something`s always wrong
at RadioCuba, and CRI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PHILIPPINES. 12055, Dec 30 at 2302, music, 2307 talk in tonal SE
Asian language, somewhat stronger than adjacent 12050 WEWN. Yes, EiBi
shows FEBC in Shan spoken by 3 megaMyanmarians, along with a string of
other obscure languages until 0100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9930, Dec 30 at 2259, TOMBS somewhat
distorted S9+40 via WTWW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17715 & 17755, Dec 30 at 2333, just a trace visible but not
audible from REE into Georgia SDR; fortunately 9690 is still VG for us
direct, and 12030 sufficient, even tho tokENglish during this hour on
Dec 31 is expected to be pre-empted by New Year celebrations (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. 5960, Dec 30 at 2300, JBA carrier direct, unlikely
VOT but Urumqi, EAST TURKISTAN, supposedly not starting until 2310. By
2337 no signal into Georgia SDR, and only Chinese into UTwente; while
accidentalternate 9610 is only JBA, presumably Mongolian on CNR8 from
Beijing site. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2327 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday
December 30 at 2100 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323v, S9 into UTwente.

Also confirmed UT Wednesday December 31 at 0030 on SW Radio Gold,
Germany, 3975, S9/+20 into Bedford UK SDR, better than UTwente, too
close, S7/S9.

Also confirmed UT Wednesday December 31 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, no
signal into Georgia SDR, too close, but S9+12 into N9AZZ Illinois SDR.

** U S A. 9330, Dec 30 at 2308, WLCR/WBCQ Portuguese blasting in again
at S9+35/40, evidently on wrong beam thisaway instead of Brasilward.
Altho the rotable antenna can be pointed in any direxion, only three
azimuths are in use per WLCR website, and only two languages! 170
degrees in Portuguese to Brazil at 22-05; 253 degrees in English to
USA at 05-17, and 57 degrees in English to UK at 17-22, Yet HFCC B25
https://new.hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B25&broadc=BCQ
shows certain hours in Spanish, German, Arabic, some other azimuths
and even powers, not always 500 kW but some at 250. And some imaginary
relays via Bulgaria on 13840, 13850 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re my 990 KWAM Memphis TN log: ``Hi Glenn, The KWAM tower is
across the river in Arkansas, justifying the K call. 73, Eike
[Bierwirth], Birmingham, AL``. OK, but there are lots of
``unjustified`` K/W calls on the wrong side of a river (Glenn Hauser,

** BRAZIL. 11780, Dec 30 at 0737, RNA already on, songs at S9/+20
direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Dec 29 at 2322, S9+10/20 of dead air in Spanish from R.
Rebelde; something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Dec 29 at 2314, RHC S9+10/20 windhowling transmitter
is here instead of 15140 earlier in day; clear dead air on 11880 at
S9/+10. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Dec 30 at 0736, RHC Spanish on air way late, S7/9+25
direct, someone speaking in an echoey venue. Also with windhowl
self-QRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Dec 30 at 2046, RHC S9+20 of windhowl instead of
English; 11880 S9+5/20 of clear dead air in English. SAWA (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950 AM, Dec 29 at 2319, pirate music at S9+10.
These say it`s Radio Free Euphonia:

Easily overcomes JBA 5th harmonic of my local stupid sportstalker,
1390 KCRC, Enid
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 6030, Dec 29 circa 2315, RRI in English, poor signal
direct but at least before Martí takes over. Poland via WRMI, Spain on
some Wednesdays, and Turkey all do better with English at 2300; but
6030 is intended only for Europe, not us beyond; alternate from
Galbeni is 7220, not noticed there but anyhow would be intruder
subject to QRhaM. English hour at 23 is also registered for
Tsiganeshti on 7325 or 9620 toward CIRAF 45 = Japan: why not? No
Japanese (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Dec 29 at 2300, REE with music, S9+30/40 to us; also
12030 S9+10/20 oppositely while 17715 & 17755 are JBA carriers.
Program sked for Dec 31-Jan 1 already shows nothing but
`Entertainment` from 19 UT Dec 31 to 13 UT Jan 1. But there is
supposed to be English at 1104-1200 UT Wed webcast only (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Dec 29 at 2300, VOT not off the air, accurate
timesignal and s/on as if it were 1330 on 13635 - something`s always
awry at Ankara. For the announcers, anything after the original
broadcast is inconsequential. S9+10/20 but insufficient vs noise level
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2327 monitoring: confirmed Monday
December 29 at 2034 the 2030 on SW Radio Gold, Germany, 3975.002,
S9/+5 into UTwente.

Also confirmed UT Tuesday December 30 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S8/9+5
into S Texas SDR.

Also confirmed Tuesday December 30 at 1400 on WRMI 9955, S9+20

** U S A. 9330, Dec 29 at 2301, WLCR/WBCQ opening Portuguese with huge
signal, S9+40/50 direct. Must be pointing thisaway 253 degrees instead
of 170 to Brasil when it`s normally quite weak here off the side
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1280, Dec 30 at 0704 UT, DX test from WNAM Neenah/Menasha WI
is detectable direct vs QRM from lots of other stations, sweeps upward
and in between Morse code including ID as WNAM.

To know what to listen for, I had tuned to the first hourly
transmission at 0604 via N8BTR remote at Tall Pines Cabin in NE
Wisconsin. From tune-in at 0555, heavy QRM in French, from CFMB
Montreal, 50/50 kW but supposed to have a notch to the west. Would not
be the first Canadian failing to implement required direxionality.
WNAM is generally underneath it.

The DX material is to air at :03-:05 past each hour from 0600 to 1105
UT Dec 30 and 31. Started with phone-off-the-hook tones, sweeps
upward, Morse code, more sweeps, gmail address, singing ID. 0606
``continue to tune in as we honor our final days on the air``. Of
course, DXers are on their honor to pick it up direct and/or specify
if via a remote, and not fake a report from what others have heard.

Joe Hanlon found this 2+ minute story on WNAM from WBAY-TV Green Bay,
which BTW was one of the first stations I TVDXed from NM in 1954 when
on channel A2:
