** BRAZIL. 11780, Dec 9 at 0151, token English from RNA I haven`t
checked lately; is UT Tue-Sat only except when elbowed by stupid
ballgames. S8/9+10 into nearby `Brasila` SDR. But hardly local
line-of-sight quality, rather fluttery: maybe skywave backscatter QRM?
I didn`t realize exactly when it started as switched from PP to
PP-accented English. Voice-over translation of a musician talking
about being a drummer and then banjo player, in Pará. Lose the
voice-under! We don`t need any more QRM. 0154 English outro as
International Service, switch to Spanish by different announcer who
has a heavy Brazilian accent but trying to speak Castilian, saying
``os``. Also on // 6180 but with QRhuM. {correcting date in previous
report; NOT Dec 8}. And same thing heard again at 0751 Dec 9, S3/S4
direct on 11780 while 6180 is a JBA carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. More to my report of CRI English instead of non-Portuguese
music fill on 13650 at 2300 Dec 8: evidently an anomaly:

``13650 CUBA (Quivican) China Radio Intl. at 2325, in progress at
tune-in. Man in what sounded like English news, but, (drat-!), we were
mobile and in a high static area at the time. The usual Chinese canned
"elevator music" music started up right on the half hour mark (2330
UT), and went to 2358, when man in Portuguese came on with station's
ID and sked info. Off right on midnight UT. The static was worst at
the most crucial time, when we heard English words leaking through.
Good rx at the end for the announcer in (clearly) Portuguese (to
Brazil). Heard mobile with RS DX-402 and NewTronics "Hustler"
IC-100S-B roof-mount antenna. --- Fair to Good (at end) 12/8 (Rick
Barton, Sun City AZ)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Dec 9 at 0755, S9+15 of dead air in Spanish from R.
Rebelde. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. But on 670, Dec 3 at
0727 UT, ``Aquí en Rebelde`` briefly overcame WSCR (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 9710, Dec 9 at 0758, S5/S6 of dead air in Spanish or English,
no doubt RHC overtime (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Dec 9 at 1555, RHC Spanish, S9+15/25 with windhowl,
and 15230 S9 of dead air. Something`s always wrong at RHC. At 2020 I
look at the waterfall into Athens GA SDR: again, very interesting
symmetrical pattern of diagonal lines; and then a separate line
wandering between 15180 and 15210. At first I thought it might be R.
Inconfidência, Brasil, which is always off-frequency about 15189.8 but
doesn`t vary much. Then I see a matching wandering line below RHC from
15070 and up. By 2025 they are not equal sides from center 15140 but
still match wandering, circa 15060 and 15160 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PUERTO RICO. 391 MCW kHz, Dec 8 at 0722 UT, DDP, NDB at Dorado
airport. It`s usually audible now, not always relogged, for the
record. I would love to log other Caribbean NDBs if any exist (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 397 MCW kHz, Dec 8 at 0723, JE, NDB at `Algoa`, JeffErson
City MO. Last logged for sure Oct 6, 2020, but had a carrier Nov 29,
2025 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 407 MCW kHz, Dec 8 at 0724 UT, OOC, NDB at Natchitoches LA,
as IDed Dec 1, q.v., under HRU in KS, only the C audible now in clear
during HRU pauses (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 521 MCW kHz, Dec 8 at 0725 UT, TO, 25 watt NDB at Topeka KS.
Seldom heard, last logged Oct 14. The only one normally audible in the
510-530 band is 515 PN in nearby Ponca City OK. 512 HMY Lexington OK
gone since 2018y (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2324 monitoring: ``9455 UNITED
STATES (FL) WRMI at 2330. Glenn Hauser with this week's World of Radio
(#2324). Strong and steady signal, heard with RS DX-402, IC-100S-B
mobile antenna. Short music bridge and then open of Jeff White
"Wavescan" at midnight UT. NOTE: Recheck at midnight thirty UT
(12/8), had World of Radio reprised, which helped me catch what I
missed earlier (splitting my time with MW DXing). Much stronger signal
here, still with mobile setup. --- Good 12/7 [Sunday-Monday] (Rick
Barton, Sun City AZ)``

Confirmed UT Tuesday December 9 at 0335 the 0330 on WRMI 7780, poor
signal direct here as usual to the NW since aimed SW from Okee.

Also confirmed Tuesday December 9 at 1400 on WRMI 9955, S8/S9 direct.

** AUSTRALIA. 28567 USB, Dec 8 at 2321, Oz accent, VK4DJP or DJT? Only
the latter in QRZ.com: ``VK4DJT Australia flag Australia, Dylan J
Thiedeke, Neumann Drive, Collingwood Park, QL 4301, Australia`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 11780, Dec 8 at 0151, token English from RNA I haven`t
checked lately; is UT Tue-Sat only except when elbowed by stupid
ballgames. S8/9+10 into nearby `Brasila` SDR. But hardly local
line-or-sight quality, rather fluttery: maybe skywave backscatter QRM?
I didn`t realize exactly when it started as switched from PP to
PP-accented English. Voice-over translation of a musician talking
about being a drummer and then banjo player, in Pará. Lose the
voice-under! We don`t need any more QRM. 0154 English outro as
International Service, switch to Spanish by different announcer who
has a heavy Brazilian accent but trying to speak Castilian, saying
``os``. Also on // 6180 but with QRhuM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 25985-LSB, Dec 8 at 2257, 2-way in Brasuguese, holiday
wishes, with beeps. Something similar on 25955-LSB. Are these
``official`` CB channels in Brasil? Yes, below 26 MHz, not above
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 6230 AM, Dec 8 at 2309, S9 algo in Chinese? Per Aoki this is
24h frequency of CNR1 *jamming and Sound of Hope = Xi Wang Zhi Sheng,
Miaoli, Taiwan. Many other FE signals on this and higher bands at
grayline (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13650, Dec 8 at 2304, news in ENGLISH! from S9+10/20 CRI/CGTN
relay for the first time instead of pointless non-Portuguese music
fill for years & years. Remains to be heard whether deliberate or
mistake. Wolfgang Buschel says before 2300, 13650 had also changed to
RHC Spanish. At 2305 into `World Insight`. Meanwhile 5990 CRI relay
was missing, but at 2308 S9+20 of deadair on 6000 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** JAPAN. 13705, Dec 8 at 2306, jaunty orchestral music S9/+10, what`s
this? Prélude; at 2310 `Sakura` and NHKWRJ opening scheduled Thai; to
be followed by Vietnamese at 2330 and Burmese an hour later (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA SOUTH. 28487 USB, Dec 8 at 2317, HL5FEE, spelt name SONG,
contacting a Mike. Unsure of first letter after the number but
followed by echo. Search of QRZ.com on call HL5FE gets nowhere, but
searching on handle and then callsigns in order, this one most likely:
``HL5FEE Youngdo "SONG" Song Daegu`` --> ``HL5FEE South Korea flag
South Korea, Youngdo "SONG" Song, 101-1905, Kolon Hanulche, Chimsanro
22-gil 31, Buggu, Daegu 41584, South Korea`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** POLAND [non]. 15770, Dec 8 at 2310, Polish R External Service, via
WRN on WRMI, S9+10/20. Recommended for well-done news of eastern
Europe near Ukraine; much better reception direct than simulEnglish
from Turkey, Spain if ever resumes weekly (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.002+, Dec 8 at 2259, VOT English ID and IS, S9 direct
but = noise level. At 2355 into UTwente when measured, S9+25 IS until
2356* uncovering Chinese, failing to provide any extraneous German
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2324 monitoring: Also confirmed
Monday December 8 from 2030.7 on SW Radio Gold, Germany, S6/S8 poor
on 3975.002- into UTwente. Next:

0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW;
1400 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast];
1500 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast];

** U S A. 9455, Mon Dec 8 at 2312, WRMI S9+30 with something in
Spanish, not Brazuguese. Aoki and WRMI System D grid show RAE PP on
Mon/Tue/Thu/Fri, otherdays WRMI shows in English. This is where I
heard RAE DX program in Portuguese on Tue Nov 25 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 9275, Dec 8 at 2311, WMLK properly back on with solosing,
after offsked 9275 earlier at 1554 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

In fact, 13650 after 2300 Dec 8 was carrying CRI/CGTN in ENGLISH! instead of non-Portuguese music fill for years.
