 DX/SWL/MEDIA PROGRAMS updated Jan 1, 2025 http://www.worldofradio.com/dxpgms.html
HITLIST UPDATE Hi Glenn, My latest Hitlist update. https://www.w4uvh.net/hitlist.htm 1) Iran - IRIB/Voice of Iran: Deleted entry to frequencies as page no longer exists; Added link to new home page for Iran Radio (which perhaps may be gradually replacing the old home page). (Thanks to Tony Rogers) 2) USA - WTWW: Added entry to hitlist The next update is scheduled for early February Happy New Year and 73, Alan Roe ** BRAZIL. 11780, Jan 1 at 0202, RNA still on, VG S9+15/35 with music, and weak 6180 unseems //; would it stay on another hour so we might witness the advent of 2025y into Brasil? NO, off before 0250 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL. 6009.96 approx., Jan 1 at 0740, S6/S8 music and Brazuguese talk, as R. Inconfidência is more audible than usual and always on signature off-frequency-minus. ** BRAZIL. 28411 USB, Jan 1 at 2305, PY2FZ, Bono calling CQ DX, working USA including a KF4. ``My friend`` etc., etc., but get the contact over and ``bye`` in no more than one minute. This applies to many. QRZ.com: ``PY2FZ Brazil flag Brazil, Helio "Bono" Bono, Avenida Antenor de Almeida, 3-199, Condominio Chacara Odete, Bauru, SP, 17047590, Brazil`` Anyhow, nice to still get trans-equatorial DX on 10m even when the K index be way up, 6+, and 8 at 1800. 28458 USB, Jan 1 at 2307, PY4MDO, CQ DX, working a KC2 in USA. From Minas Gerais. QRZ.com refers us to: ``PU4MDO Brazil flag Brazil, Marcio Oliveira, P.Box 310, Extrema, MG 37640970, Brazil`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA [non]. 6060, Jan 1 at 0300, `Pop Shop Radio` NYE special, rock music, 250 kW from Woofferton UK to North America, S8/9+10 into Maryland SDR; at 0313 direct S9+5/25 - of course our S-meters are not correlated. 0316 announcement from DJ Tony Pavick. 0327 interjects ``Slava Ukraini``. Was going to conclude hour with a ``shortwave radiogram``, as Kim Elliott`s naming seems to have become generic (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** COLOMBIA. 10125 CW, Jan 1 at 0148, HK3QQ, Bogotá, still going with the fraxured keyboard letters starting with QWETYUIOX... (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** COLOMBIA. 28455 USB, Jan 1 at 2310, HK1T calling QRZ, CQ. QRZ.com: ``HK1T Colombia flag Colombia, Salim (Sal) Gechem R., Barranquilla, Atlántico, Colombia`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5980, Jan 1 at 0737, pulse jamming against nothing, a Radio Martí frequency only scheduled at 11-14; it`s the `slower & longer` pulsing, at the rate of roughly 40x per minute, but slightly irregular. And now there is no WWCR leapfrog mixing product to hit, since 5890 is not on to sault over 5935 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 5025, Jan 1 at 0735, R. Rebelde is off; mostly lately had been on with weakened signal. Now there is a JBA carrier on 5020, no doubt SOLOMON ISLANDS starting to fade in (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EAST TURKISTAN. 5060, 4980, 4850, 4500, Jan 1 at 0136, JBA carriers, weaker little by little from top to bottom, the PBS Xinjiang quad from Urumqi, a.k.a. Xinjiang RTV, four different language services in the land of imperialist Chicom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6960 USB, Jan 1 at 0121, I start NYE pirate monitoring direct: rock/soul music S9+25. 0130 Wolverine Radio ID with echo, into SSTV. ID showed a guy hanging onto a rock on a cliff?: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,139198.0.html As usual had stronger signal than the others. Maybe it went off but later something on 6960, below (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6849.92 AM, Jan 1 at 0123, rock music S9+5. 0215 still on but too weak. Reported here as Liquid Radio on ``6850 AM``: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,139196.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6960 USB, Jan 1 at 0147 algo, assumed still Wolverine, but per this, was succeded by Drunken DJ Radio at 0132: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,139198.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6950 USB, Jan 1 at 0125, S9+15 of talk, drama? with music; ``America the Beautiful``; some clicking QRM at rate of one per second like timesignal, maybe out of 6938 open carrier? 0128 YL ``pirate radio``, John Poet studying one year of rock `n` roll songs; ``psychotherapy`` repeated over and over, ``I am a teenage dope fiend``. 0131 blues. 0139 SSTV, talk, off by 0200 ; but something there at 0215 check. Logs of Outhouse Radio here but none after 0125: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,139195.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6955 USB, Jan 1 at 0142, talking over music, ``I hear some static out there in the ionosphere``. 0145 spells http://splatterbox.us/sycko on 6955 relays pronounced ``psycho``; sounds drunk, music. 0136 ``The Sycko New Years Eve broadcast``, past 0200, still on at 0215. Many logs here: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,139201.0.html splatterbox above leads to music stream at 0455, ``Sycko Radio NYE broadcast extravaganza, let`s do it.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6925 USB, Jan 1 at 0215, yet another pirate, JBA music. unID, or Big Sky Radio: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,139202.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6960 AM, Jan 1 at 2317, pirate music S9 but no match for noise level, OSOB. Many unID reports here with playlists: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,139275.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 95.1, OG&E Xmas station, and 1670, Virtual DJ Radio, are still running afternoon of Jan 1 circa 21 UT when I am monitoring along US 81 in Enid. Far enough from downtown for KQCV to compete for 95.1, despite site E of Seminole, and IDs as Shawnee-OKC-Tulsa. In fact per radio-locator map, with 100 kW, both OKC and Tulsa are equally between distant and fringe contours (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Jan 1 at 2300, token English from SNR, S9+30/40 direct, 12030 sufficient, 17715 & 17755 stronger than usual carriers. No news, but 2024 in review, starting with Spain`s Academy Award nominees; 2313, world`s oldest person who had survived COVID, born in 1907, died 19 Sept 2024 at age 117 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9650, Jan 1 at 0536, TRT Turkish service is still on SW, music, S6/S8 direct but with heavy flutter. Richard Langley reports: ``And last night (1 January UTC), the 0400 UT broadcast in English, which started about 8 minutes late and recorded here in NB, was the actual Voice of Turkey with usual sign-off ID and frequencies. Was this the last VoT broadcast in English?`` [6125, 7285] Several who checked the 1330 English broadcast on 13635 found that VOT programming had been replaced by soundtrack of TRT World TV! Per Jean-Michel Aubier; and: ``I presume this will be the case for all the scheduled VOT English programming from now on. They have lost me as a regular listener (since 1970), as I am not interested in the endless diet of news that their TV channel puts out. Alan Holder, G4ZBH, Isle of Wight, U.K.`` 9660.017-, Jan 1 at 1730 tune-in, JIP some English discussion, 1732 about war in Gaza, S9+10/25 into UTwente with OTH radar? clickery 9650-9670. Segment seemed to be called ``My America``, of all things. It does NOT match the TRT World live stream, about Vanuatu, Belize, climate change: ``NOW PLAYING -- JUST 2 DEGREES A rise of just two degrees in average temperatures means catastrophe for planet Earth. TRT World looks at the cold, hard truths behind a warming planet`` https://www.trtworld.com/live-stream [and non] However at 2002 check Jan 1, 6050.003+ into UTwente is // the TRTWorld livestream report about the New Orleans truck attack. It seems this channel is not particularly focused on Turkey, and not unusual to hear American accents. By 2017 they are separate again. 2023 cut to fragment of VOT IS and chopoff, uncovering what else? Chinese, 2027 playing ``Let It Be``. Clearly the TRT TV audio programming source cannot fit well into the previous SW English hours! And I bet the TV folx are not about to pay any attention to SW turns on and off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960, Jan 1 at 2300, NO signal direct from TRT, nor at 2312, but there is algo on 9610, maybe overrun; I no longer have interest in keeping track of those (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2275 monitoring: ``From: Richard Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, the desk of Richard’s listening Post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF, Antenna: random long wires in the trees. Hello Glenn: Happy Holidays, WRMI, USA, World of Radio #2275, 9395 kHz, 0030, 0044, 0057, 0058 (55434), 0059, January 1 UTC 2025 [Wed] (Lemke, Richard -AB)`` Confirmed UT Wednesday January 1 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+12 into Maryland SDR. Also confirmed UT Wednesday January 1 at 0030 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.001+, s8/S9 into UTwente. Not confirmed Wednesday January 1 at 2030 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975: NO signal into UTwente, Ireland or Italy, maybe due to K index of 8. Confirmed Wednesday January 1 at 2200 on WBCQ 7490-, VG S9/+10 into Maryland SDR. Next: 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975. Thanks this week for financial support from Gerald T. Pollard, Raleigh NC, who sends a generous check on a US bank marking each new season to: Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5085, WTWW situation, not heard for a few days? ``Glenn, The driver solid state amplifier went out, I replaced the final IC and it ran for only one hour and died. The back up amplifier lasted for only 5 minutes. I am waiting on parts from China. I expect we will be down at least for a week. George McClintock 1-1-2025`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 6160-, Jan 1 at 0742, no signal from WBCQ. This transmitter had been weakened, and on Dec 28, `AAAWWW` said The Overcomer would no longer be on it this year. Sked indeed does not show any of that now: http://wbcq.com/schedule/index.php?fn=sked&freq=6160 but I`m not sure it properly did before. TOMBS only shows at various hours on 7490. The question is, what programming if any remains on 6160; Area 51? And who is that voice we hear when not running very stale tapes of deceased Brother Scare? TOM website mentions a ``Pastor Rice``. Another check at 2200 Jan 1, no signal from 6160 into Maryland SDR, let alone direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15825, Jan 1 at 1555, NO signal from WWCR-1, while at 1559 the others are: 13845 JBA, 12160 signing on loud, 9980 loud. John Jurasek reported on Dec 31 that WWCR had taken #1 off the air completely, no longer 15825, 6115, or 3215! And the updated transmitter and program skeds now show that: https://www.wwcr.com/transmitter-sched.html https://www.wwcr.com/program-guides/WWCR_Program_Guide.pdf This has led to lots of programming changes, some of the #1 ones moved to the others. Alan Roe observes that many of the music shows have been cut. I see that `The Talking [sic] Machine Show` is still on there, Sats 1800-1830 on 12160. At 2316 Jan 1, no signal on 6115 direct. Why take this drastic step? #1 transmitter seemed to have been OK, in fact cleaner than the others. I hear that WWCR profits have been plummeting, so taking one transmitter completely down should help the bottom line (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0036 UT January 2, 2025 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/

 I'm listening to that warbler right now on 870 on a KiwiSDR station in Ohio, 1/1/25 at 0128Z. For some reason I've never noticed it before. Is it in Cuba? What is its purpose?

 ** CHINA [non]. 9790, Dec 31 at 0447, CRI Cantonese relay via CUBA is S9+10/20 but very suptorted. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [and non]. 870, Dec 31 at 0450 UT, whooper/wobbler mixing with WWL, none vs 1040 WHO right now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11930, Dec 31 at 0448, pulse jamming vs no Martí, slower rate than usual, and very little else on 25m band (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GUATEMALA. Now Dr. Madrid is backtracking about the new SW transmitter for R. Verdad. He had been saying it was in Mexico being held up for customs duty? Now he says it`s still in Europe, as received Dec 30 by Gabriel Gómez, Uruguay: ``Radio Verdad Internacional --- Todavía estamos en vueltas de traer el transmisor desde Europa. Gracias por su interés. Cuando salgamos al aire por onda corta lo informaré en Facebook. Édgar Madrid, Radio Verdad Internacional -- Rte CX7BI- CX0001 Gabriel`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 95.1, Dec 30 circa 2100 UT I`m on some errands downtown including Box 1684, as the `pirate` Xmasmx continues here. Then I drive by north/back side of Garfield County Courthouse, and see several signs: ``OG&E / Tree of lights / 95.1 / provided by Sudlow Engineering``. No wonder the signal has been peaking at downtown. This is a cone of lights-only making the ``tree``, with several black boxes around it, maybe including transmitter. I originally did hear an announcement about Downtown Enid, but since then never anything about what`s on the signs. Presumably Part 15 sufficiently low-power not to require license. A view of it here as apparently also employed for some live music: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1096711485798525&id=100063790501902&set=a.436507348485612 ``Facebook · Downtown Enid & Main Street Enid 10+ reactions · 1 month ago OG&E Tree of Lights 95.1 from www.facebook.com OG+E Courthouse Lawn Tree of Lights & Sudlow Lights Show Tune into 95.1 to enjoy the show from your car. You can also enjoy the show while ...`` Presumably this 95.1 will soon be turned off, reopening channel for CP of KOKJ-LP. Not to be confused with a much larger ``tree`` a few blox south, the ``Christ`` or ``The One`` which is totally artificial but claims to be the tallest anywhere, but no FM known. WWJS? That`s a wacko promotion by Kyle Williams of KGWA and convenience gas stations, and now a movie is being made around it starring `Martin Sheen`, straining my respect for him (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 1670, Dec 31 circa 2130 UT, Virtual DJ Radio still going, strongest where first discovered in the CVS parking lot at NE corner of S. Van Buren, and W. Owen K. Garriott. Rock music, not especially Xmasy now (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 9510, Dec 31 at 0446, RRI is S9/+10 with mailbag, either `DX Mailbag` or `Listeners` Letterbox`, sked 0442-0452 UT Tues (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Dec 31 at 2256, REE Spanish VG into Maryland SDR, much weaker on 12030. Chat about uvas = grapes apparently a thing to celebrate NY with. 2300 12 chimes, explosions as 2025y starts in Madrid, 2302 ``Año Nuevo`` song, and lots more upbeat music next semihour. Axually by longitude, Madrid and most of Spain should be on UT, not UT+1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9610, Dec 30 at 2152, VOT English slightly better into Ireland SDR than UTwente, `The Energy Agenda` until 2154, music, 2157 `That`s Why`, the ``last episode`` about volcanoes and magma, such as Kilauea. 2204 music, 2209 fading down some, but UTwente exacted on 9610.005+. 2223.5 s/off as if 1330 on 13635. 2224 IS first notes only twice before chop. This could be the penultimate English if it`s all gone after Dec 31. I catch first part of same broadcast: 5960.016, Dec 30 at 2301, S9+10/30 into Ireland SDR showing it minus 16 Hz, olds now leading with Pres. Carter; switch to UTwente for correct plus offset, and better S9+25/35. 2313 music and `Review of the Turkish Press`/ 2315 TRTVOTVorld.com promo as multilingual neews, music. 2318 CCCCCCI has started, worse to Ireland, and `The Energy Agenda`. 2324 music. 2327 `That`s Why` as above, then only music until 2353 s/off; 2354, 6 notes of IS before chop* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9610, Dec 31 at 2129, VP S7/S8 into UTwente, VOT, 2300 TS and opening, heavy splash from 9620. Even worse into Ireland SDR. At 2135 I get it VG S9+15/35 via New Delhi SDR, supposed target despite being 3 AM there, with olds. There is JBA lite musical CCI, presumaly Mongolian from China. 2140 `Review of the Turkish Press`. 2143 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2145 `Special New Year Program` recounting some of the strange/funny stories of 2024. 2200 `Don`t Worry, Be Happy` song, more music. 2207 starts to fade down as CCI grows. 2212 ``always-by-your-side`` promo, music. 2217 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo, and immediately, `a-b-y-s`` again. 2218 unreadable announcement, could it be farewell? Never heard anything otherwise about this being final broadcast. 2220 song. I switch back to UTwente which is now much better, S9+5/15 on 9610.005+, music. 2223 s/off as if 1330 on 13635, 2224 IS to 2225* 5960.003+, Dec 31 at 2257, OCDA S9+40 into UTwente, 2259 starts IS and IDs for VOT. So it`s on but I`ve already heard most of the English hour from 2130. The 2218 ``announcement`` turns out to be just music when I check for it at 2348, 2353 s/off, 2354 IS to 2355.5* chop uncovering Chinese. We may know by tomorrow whether it survive (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U K Q O G B A N I. 5450 USB, Dec 31 at 0437, JBA deliberate talk, M and/or W robovoice? Most copiable word is ``visibility``. EiBi shows RAF VOLMET Military 1, from one of those several ``ic`` sites (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 10000, Dec 31 at 2355, WWV VG with timesignals. An annual event is axually earwitnessing the end of a UT year, 2024* at 0000 UT January 1, ``Zero hours, zero minutes, Coordinated Univeral Time``. Will tune it again 6 hours later for *2025y here, altho western half of OK should be on UT-7 by longitude (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2275 monitoring: confirmed Monday December 30 at 2035 the 2030 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975, JBA into UTwente, but S6/7 into Ireland SDR but with some storm crashes from Blitz no closer than SE Spain and Palestine. Also confirmed UT Tuesday December 31 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9/+12 into S TX SDR. Also confirmed Tuesday December 31 at 1312 the 1400 on WRMI 9955, JBA direct. Not confirmed Tue Dec 31 at 1502 the 1500 on WRMI 9955, JBA sounds rather like Brother Scare, like much stronger TOMBS via WWCR 9980. It was always strange to have WOR sked already only one hour later than previous airing. Still shown with both on the System B skedgrid, so what will happen next week/month/year? Also confirmed Tuesday December 31 at 2100 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.999-, S9 but noisy into UTwente. Unknown program about propaganda about to quote Noam Chomsky was chopped short before 2100. 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; 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975. Thanks this week for financial support from Gerald T. Pollard, Raleigh NC, who sends a generous check on a US bank marking each new season to: Glenn Hauser, PO Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to: woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5920, Dec 31 at 0440, TOMBS is S9+50 from WTWW-1, yet neighbor on the dial and on the land, 5935, WWCR-2 with PMS is much weaker, only S9+20/30, so on low power? There had not been any significant difference before, altho azimuths may be diverse. It`s not at all clear where lie the major lobes of either. 5890, WWCR-4 is also on at 0443, S9+50 with squeals, but the usual leapfrog over 5935 attains nothing more than a JBA carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9395, Dec 31 at 0445, WRMI-6 is unusually OFF; supposedly 24 hours. While 9955, WRMI-3 is S9+20/30 with TOMBS. By recheck 0738, 9395 is back ON, S9+30/40, while 9955 is a JBA carrier. 9455, WRMI-5 remains off for a long time now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 26110 NBFM, Dec 31 at 1634 UT, KMK282 finally audible again, the auxiliary of KOVR ``13``, Stockton-Sacramento, about NYE preps. At S7 it`s quite scratchy but readable. 1636 northern California weather including 39 degrees in Sacramento, ``here in the Valley``. Growing to S8, less scratchy, and almost clear at S9 peak before 1640 fading down. DXers further east have been reporting this a lot lately, but no luck here. In fact, my last definite log was Nov 28, *2023* at 1605. It seems I`m too close for F2 prop, need sporadic E. 6M Map shows a 43 MHz Es MUF spot over southern Utah, maybe responsible for this (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VATICAN. Re my previous report: Gianni Serra, Roma, directs us to where VR SHORTWAVE schedules may be found: https://www.vaticannews.va/en/short-waves.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 1670, Dec 31 at 0748 UT, distorted signal in mix. Earlier on Dec 30, last check of Virtual DJ Radio, Enid, it was OK. Both it and Reynosa have been somewhat off-frequency plus, and at night I usually detect at least two signals significant Hz apart. IRCA Mexican Log says of XEFCR: ``slightly off-frequency 1670.03 to 1670.05 in 2023`` and someone recently had it on 1670.04 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0022 UT January 1, 2025 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/

Glenn Hauser logs December 30-31, 2024 |

Wednesday, January 01 2025
 ** CHINA [non]. 9790, Dec 31 at 0447, CRI Cantonese relay via CUBA is S9+10/20 but very suptorted. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [and non]. 870, Dec 31 at 0450 UT, whooper/wobbler mixing with WWL, none vs 1040 WHO right now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11930, Dec 31 at 0448, pulse jamming vs no Martí, slower rate than usual, and very little else on 25m band (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GUATEMALA. Now Dr. Madrid is backtracking about the new SW transmitter for R. Verdad. He had been saying it was in Mexico being held up for customs duty? Now he says it`s still in Europe, as received Dec 30 by Gabriel Gómez, Uruguay: ``Radio Verdad Internacional --- Todavía estamos en vueltas de traer el transmisor desde Europa. Gracias por su interés. Cuando salgamos al aire por onda corta lo informaré en Facebook. Édgar Madrid, Radio Verdad Internacional -- Rte CX7BI- CX0001 Gabriel`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 95.1, Dec 30 circa 2100 UT I`m on some errands downtown including Box 1684, as the `pirate` Xmasmx continues here. Then I drive by north/back side of Garfield County Courthouse, and see several signs: ``OG&E / Tree of lights / 95.1 / provided by Sudlow Engineering``. No wonder the signal has been peaking at downtown. This is a cone of lights-only making the ``tree``, with several black boxes around it, maybe including transmitter. I originally did hear an announcement about Downtown Enid, but since then never anything about what`s on the signs. Presumably Part 15 sufficiently low-power not to require license. A view of it here as apparently also employed for some live music: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1096711485798525&id=100063790501902&set=a.436507348485612 ``Facebook · Downtown Enid & Main Street Enid 10+ reactions · 1 month ago OG&E Tree of Lights 95.1 from www.facebook.com OG+E Courthouse Lawn Tree of Lights & Sudlow Lights Show Tune into 95.1 to enjoy the show from your car. You can also enjoy the show while ...`` Presumably this 95.1 will soon be turned off, reopening channel for CP of KOKJ-LP. Not to be confused with a much larger ``tree`` a few blox south, the ``Christ`` or ``The One`` which is totally artificial but claims to be the tallest anywhere, but no FM known. WWJS? That`s a wacko promotion by Kyle Williams of KGWA and convenience gas stations, and now a movie is being made around it starring `Martin Sheen`, straining my respect for him (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 1670, Dec 31 circa 2130 UT, Virtual DJ Radio still going, strongest where first discovered in the CVS parking lot at NE corner of S. Van Buren, and W. Owen K. Garriott. Rock music, not especially Xmasy now (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** ROMANIA. 9510, Dec 31 at 0446, RRI is S9/+10 with mailbag, either `DX Mailbag` or `Listeners` Letterbox`, sked 0442-0452 UT Tues (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SPAIN. 9690, Dec 31 at 2256, REE Spanish VG into Maryland SDR, much weaker on 12030. Chat about uvas = grapes apparently a thing to celebrate NY with. 2300 12 chimes, explosions as 2025y starts in Madrid, 2302 ``Año Nuevo`` song, and lots more upbeat music next semihour. Axually by longitude, Madrid and most of Spain should be on UT, not UT+1 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9610, Dec 30 at 2152, VOT English slightly better into Ireland SDR than UTwente, `The Energy Agenda` until 2154, music, 2157 `That`s Why`, the ``last episode`` about volcanoes and magma, such as Kilauea. 2204 music, 2209 fading down some, but UTwente exacted on 9610.005+. 2223.5 s/off as if 1330 on 13635. 2224 IS first notes only twice before chop. This could be the penultimate English if it`s all gone after Dec 31. I catch first part of same broadcast: 5960.016, Dec 30 at 2301, S9+10/30 into Ireland SDR showing it minus 16 Hz, olds now leading with Pres. Carter; switch to UTwente for correct plus offset, and better S9+25/35. 2313 music and `Review of the Turkish Press`/ 2315 TRTVOTVorld.com promo as multilingual neews, music. 2318 CCCCCCI has started, worse to Ireland, and `The Energy Agenda`. 2324 music. 2327 `That`s Why` as above, then only music until 2353 s/off; 2354, 6 notes of IS before chop* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9610, Dec 31 at 2129, VP S7/S8 into UTwente, VOT, 2300 TS and opening, heavy splash from 9620. Even worse into Ireland SDR. At 2135 I get it VG S9+15/35 via New Delhi SDR, supposed target despite being 3 AM there, with olds. There is JBA lite musical CCI, presumaly Mongolian from China. 2140 `Review of the Turkish Press`. 2143 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2145 `Special New Year Program` recounting some of the strange/funny stories of 2024. 2200 `Don`t Worry, Be Happy` song, more music. 2207 starts to fade down as CCI grows. 2212 ``always-by-your-side`` promo, music. 2217 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo, and immediately, `a-b-y-s`` again. 2218 unreadable announcement, could it be farewell? Never heard anything otherwise about this being final broadcast. 2220 song. I switch back to UTwente which is now much better, S9+5/15 on 9610.005+, music. 2223 s/off as if 1330 on 13635, 2224 IS to 2225* 5960.003+, Dec 31 at 2257, OCDA S9+40 into UTwente, 2259 starts IS and IDs for VOT. So it`s on but I`ve already heard most of the English hour from 2130. The 2218 ``announcement`` turns out to be just music when I check for it at 2348, 2353 s/off, 2354 IS to 2355.5* chop uncovering Chinese. We may know by tomorrow whether it survive (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U K Q O G B A N I. 5450 USB, Dec 31 at 0437, JBA deliberate talk, M and/or W robovoice? Most copiable word is ``visibility``. EiBi shows RAF VOLMET Military 1, from one of those several ``ic`` sites (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 10000, Dec 31 at 2355, WWV VG with timesignals. An annual event is axually earwitnessing the end of a UT year, 2024* at 0000 UT January 1, ``Zero hours, zero minutes, Coordinated Univeral Time``. Will tune it again 6 hours later for *2025y here, altho western half of OK should be on UT-7 by longitude (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2275 monitoring: confirmed Monday December 30 at 2035 the 2030 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975, JBA into UTwente, but S6/7 into Ireland SDR but with some storm crashes from Blitz no closer than SE Spain and Palestine. Also confirmed UT Tuesday December 31 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9/+12 into S TX SDR. Also confirmed Tuesday December 31 at 1312 the 1400 on WRMI 9955, JBA direct. Not confirmed Tue Dec 31 at 1502 the 1500 on WRMI 9955, JBA sounds rather like Brother Scare, like much stronger TOMBS via WWCR 9980. It was always strange to have WOR sked already only one hour later than previous airing. Still shown with both on the System B skedgrid, so what will happen next week/month/year? Also confirmed Tuesday December 31 at 2100 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.999-, S9 but noisy into UTwente. Unknown program about propaganda about to quote Noam Chomsky was chopped short before 2100. 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; 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S; 1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975.
