** BRAZIL. 5940.150, Jan 2 at 2303, presumed the variable R. Voz
Missionária, JBA in Portuguese? with less splatter than usual from
5935 WWCR which can also put a spur circa 5940.2 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CANADA. 28174 CW, Jan 3 at 2138, EEEEs VVV DE VE1VDM/B, picked
among many 10m hambeacons audible. WI5V list: ``28.174 VE1DVM C TRURO,
NOVA SCOTIA, CA, 1.2 min CW, then QSY to QRSS and WSPR-CW bands in
sequence``. But NO listing at QRZ.com with or without the /B. This
hardly ever happens, but it is optional, non-official, after all. And
commercial (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9440, Jan 3 at 2143, no signal from R. Cairo sesquihour in
English; something`s egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 11610, Jan 2 at 2316, S9+20/30 of dead air: yet again
MWV fails to turn off at 2258* after Arabic. Something`s maladjusted
at Mahajanga (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 660, Jan 3 until 0711, song ``Gloria`` in English, nice to
hear after a long time; ID as ``Esto es ABC Deportes``, and another
song in English, ``Can`t Help Falling In Love With You``, hardly
sports in Spanish as branded! Fades down with a 2.5 Hz SAH =
150/minute. 0725 a song in Spanish, may or may not be same station,
then ``Killing Me Softly``. 0732 fuller ID with AM and FM frequencies
but could not copy them. IRCA Mexican Log shows the only 660 by that
name is XEFZ, Monterrey NL, supposedly off the air after 0600, 10/1
kW. MWoffsets shows XEFZ on 659.9981 as of 2019y. KSKY TX and KTNN AZ
both on 660.0002 as of 2023, i.e. 2.1 Hz away from XEFZ. BTW there are
no XEs at all on 670, 680. This was on a household radio with internal
antenna only, positioned to null E/W (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Jan 3 at 2300, token English from SNR: after news,
interview with creator of an animated film with music but no dialog;
and then about the drought in Catalonia. VG direct (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Jan 2 at 2302, no signal direct from VOT, apparently
AWOL; altho did not get around to checking later in hour or via
remotes.

6125, Jan 3 amid 0400 English, noted on the air as I tuned past it.

5960, Jan 3 at 2326, no signal into UTwente or Maryland SDR, again.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13563.5 CW, Jan 2 at 2312, dash and PCO, the Pine, ColoradO
beacon JBA instead of usually nothing audible on this band. LWCA list
shows 13563.49~ at DM79ij, reported 2023/11. Much more about this in
my last log of April 14, 2023 at 2225 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28248 CW, Jan 3 at 2141, among many 10m hambeacons I pick
this one: DE KG2GL/B. Sure of frequency but WI5V list is 2 kHz below:
``28.246 KG2GL I NUTLEY, NEW JERSEY # 5W, RINGO VERTICAL`` QRZ.com:
``KG2GL USA flag USA, Anthony J Testa, Jr, 173 Conover Ave, Nutley, NJ
07110 USA -- I operate a ten meter beacon full time on 28.246. I would
appreciate all SWL/RST reports via e-mail tonyqrp1@gmail.com`` - See
also CANADA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2223 monitoring: confirmed UT
Wednesday January 3 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9/+10 into Missouri SDR; as
usual a bit of extraneous music between the ID and WOR starting.

Also confirmed Wednesday January 3 at 1515 the 1500 on WRMI 9955,
S7/S9 with no jamming audible -- continuing the unscheduled airing as
heard on 3 of 4 Weds in Dec; instead of scheduled 1500 Thursdays.

Also confirmed Wednesday January 3 at 2200 on WBCQ 7489.950, S9+10
direct. Next:

0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S
0230 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW

Thanks this week to William T Hassig, Mt Prospect IL, for a generous
check to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702

woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 6115, Jan 2 at 2322, WWCR-1, S9+30/40, but just as suptorted
as the other #1 frequencies, 15685 earlier, 3215 later. Unfortunately,
this affects one broadcast each of `Frecuencia al Día` and `VORW`,
otherwise disposable gospel huxters, per program guide already redated
January 1. Lou Johnson also notes this Jan 3: ``6115 Audio is in the
toilet! Hope they don't charge people for that! Lou KF4RCA``. I
recheck UT Jan 4 at 0034 into Maryland SDR: S9/+12 but dead air, then
extremely suptorted modulation peaks unreadable. Something`s nauseous
at Nashville. And they haven`t noticed? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 9960, Jan 3 at 0447, JBA carrier direct, presumed evidence
of R. Vanuatu; vs S9+10 intermittent local noise bursts (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0042 UT January 4

6115 Nikkei with a manga song and manga voice speaker . Thenext song  on 0806 was quite better as it was western… -90dbm.

Very funny sounding voices and songs as likechildren are talking and/or  singing*
 30/12via Maui Hawaii on smartphone  .

On the next day, December31st, I listened to Nikkei on 6115 via Osaka kSDR on 055x for about 30 minutesstarting at 06z. The music was a mix of Japanese and Western songs, with a fastpace. It was less humorous than yesterday's broadcast.  The signal strength was around -40dbm.
At the same time, I also tuned in to Nikkei 1 on 6055, which had very longtalks and the same signal level.
