** U S A. 5935, Dec 26 at 0736, WWCR DGS is unusually weak, only S8/S9
direct, so the accompanying gunk is lessened. Normally blasts in, so
if full power, propagation MUF/skip zone to blame. Meanwhile 5850 WRMI
with TOMBS is S9+25/30, sufficiently far (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7570, Dec 26 at 0736, this WRMI-11 is on for a change, S9+30
direct with TOMBS. Nominal hours are only 2300-0400. On 315 NW
azimuth, bigsig here unlike 7730 to NE & 7780 to SW (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** U S A. 9395, Dec 26 at 0737, Supreme Master TV via WRMI with
lengthy listing of its platforms, even `Truth [sic] Social`, but never
mentions SW or WRMI! (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.

** 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

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

** 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

** 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!
