** CUBA [non]. 5025, Jan 4 at 0735, R. Rebelde is off. I don`t always
log it when it`s on, or dead air. Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba. Audiblizes 5020 JBA carrier already, presumably SOLOMON
ISLANDS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760 S7/S9 // 15140 S7/9+15 with windhowl, Jan 4 at 1603,

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY. Marconi R. International publicized a 40th anniversary
broadcast Jan 4 at 1600-1900 on 7700 or alternate 7400. At 1624 into
UTwente, I have JBA signals on both, 7699.861+ at S6/S7, 7400.051+
also S6/S7; which is which? By 1741, 7400 won`t lock onto anything but
7699.870+ lox with music S6/S7. EiBi & Aoki show nothing on either
nominal frequency. Amid music, at 1735 announcement in English,
``Hello, Marconi Radio International...`` At 1800, JBA 7699.871+.
Anyhow, 7700 & 7400 should be good clear frequency choices (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6945 USB, Jan 4 at 0208, pirate song S7/S8 vs NL of
S6/S7; 0210 DJ mentions Saturday evening on ===? Radio, then something
about helicopters? These say it`s Band-Aid Radio:

``a-b-y-s`` again already! 2354 s/off as if it were the 1330 on 13635,

VOT `Letterbox` already underway so missed at least one contact. Maybe
tune in a bit earlier on a repeat. 1) Ivan Lebedev, St. Pete, Russia.
2) Mr Francis Mohler?, Dublin, Ireland. 3) --- Hussein ---, Pakistan

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2328 monitoring: confirmed new time
2030 Saturday January 3 on SW Radio Gold, Germany, 3975.001, S6/S8
into UTwente.

Also confirmed Saturday January 3 at 2030 on WRN via WRMI 9395, S9+38
into Georgia SDR and not at 2100 as now shown on the System E schedule
- or possibly both as not checked after 2100. Nor WRN Europe stream
checked at 2100 as long scheduled there.

Not confirmed on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, nominal 2030 Saturday January 3;
JBA vs HNL into N9AZZ southern IL remote, and KM4RT in western TN; the
closest at House Springs MO is not much better and times out at only
10 minutes allowed per 24 hours! WOR still had not started by 2045,
but not unusual to be running later. TWIAR was going at 2030.

Confirmed Saturday January 3 at 2200 on WRMI 9395, S9+25/30 into
Georgia SDR.

Also confirmed Saturday January 3 at 2235 the 2230 on WRMIs 17790
S9/+5 and 15770 S9+5 into Maryland SDR.

Also confirmed UT Sunday January 4 at 0258 the 0230 on WRN North
America stream.

Also confirmed UT Sunday January 4 at 0412 the 0415v on WA0RCR, 1860
AM, MO, S9+10 into KM4RT remote Tipton County TN, better than
closers.

Also confirmed Sunday January 4 at 0733 the 0730 on WRMIs: 5850
S9+20/25, 7570 S9+25, 7730 S7, 7780 S8, but 15770 is JBA carrier.

Also confirmed Sunday January 4 at 1135 on WRN via WRMIs 7570 S9+25

** U S A. 1700 kHz, Jan 4 at 0206 UT, open carrier atop others,
presumably KKLF Richardson TX trying to make a comeback (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR) also see unID 1700!

** VATICAN. 15490, Jan 4 at 1515, S Asian music, OOFSOB [one of few

significant signals from Europe on 19m, and not much else except Cuba
15140 & 15230, WRMI 15770 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1700 kHz, Jan 4 at 0659 UT, weak Spanish in the mix. If
not KKLF TX, which has been absent, or open carrier 5 hours ago, only
other SS would be XEPE Tecate BC, nominally 10/10 kW, which IRCA
Mexican Log says: ``TuDN Deportes, Vivimos Tu Pasión 24h SPT TUDN No

** BRAZIL. 11780, Jan 3 at 0750 UT, RNA VG S9/+20 unlike missing last
night, but no token English, rather music and Portuguese. So
apparently English can be UT M-F only, not UT Sat. Little if any
signal on 6180 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 2598 USB, Jan 3 at 0749 UT, marine weather by YL robovoice,

other Newfoundland stations/sites rotate sharing time on 2598.

2749 USB, Jan 3 at 0752 UT, marine weather by YL robovoice. Sounds
same as 2598 but unlikely //, and unusually this is weaker than 2598
which is further. This is only 550 watts, while Placentia on 2598 is
3000 watts. Per DXinfocentre.com/mb.htm it`s the first broadcast of
the day from VCO Sydney NS starting at 0740. Three other NS
stations/sites rotate sharing time on 2749. There are two other
Canadian CG frequencies further north, 2514 and 2582, but only in
``daytime`` and never heard here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

WOR on any other WRMI frequency audible now.

Confirmed not on air Sat Jan 3 at 1555 the 1530 on SW Radio Gold,
Germany, instead TRSW music into UTwente, but should resume next week
also on 6160.

** U S A. 1700 kHz, Jan 3 at 0745 UT, ``94.5`` mentioned in English.
Evidently usual dominant and closest, SS KKLF The Metroplex TX is
still missing, as is KBGG Des Moines; and not KVNS Bronwsville TX
heard recently since it`s Fox Sports. Of the few stations left on
1700, NRC AM Log shows one with an FM on 94.5: WEUP Huntsville AL, U1
10/1 kW, in group ``Worship 94.5``. WTFDA FMDB shows that`s really
W233BR in Moores Mill AL, 250 watts, urban gospel format, ``The

UNIDENTIFIED. 1190, Jan 3 at 0710 UT, ``Aquí Radio Éxitos`` - but no
such slogan listed anywhere in mwlist, WRTH 2026, NRC AM Log, IRCA
Mexican Log - checking not only most likely Mexico, but all of Latin
America. The closest name: WLIB NYC ``La Exitosa`` -- would be
surprised to hear them in OK. And, XEMBC Mexicali BCN only 250/100
watts includes ``Grandes Éxitos`` among its slogans. The XE usually
heard on 1190 is XEPZ, Ciudad Juárez Chih, 1000/250 watts which
is/was: ``Máxima 99.1, tu Estilo de Vida``. It would be nice if a DXer
in El Paso could confirm whether it`s now called Radio Éxitos. The
closest Kiwi in Truth or Consequences is too far, only trace of an
1190 signal in daytime (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 6125, Jan 2 at 0446 check direct whether VOT be on air for
English - familiar segment theme, but not in English! Sounds like
Turkish. What about // 7285? NO signal there. Both were missing last
night. The Turkish language frequency now is 9650, and bingo, there
it is weaker // 6125, so the WRONG LANGUAGE is going out on 6125!
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. Final check at 0457 into
Georgia SDR, 6125 is off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 810.57, Jan 2 at 0749 UT, het against 810.00 WHB.
Meanwhile, Greg Hardison suggests: ``Glenn: — Seemingly hearing your
het on 810.57, as close as I can nail it on the Orem [Utah] SDR,
staying steady against the "KSFO" effluence of fascist spew. Any
semblance of associated audio seems to be musical in nature, as
opposed to spoken word. Of course, tho', nothing strong enough to be
of any more use. KXOI [Crane TX] is certainly a viable theory, but
the Lubbock SDR is offline, and if anything, there's a hi-het against
WHB on the Austin SDR, that seems to be lower in freq than 810.57,
with NO discernable audio — the Austin het could even be imaginary on
my part; it is that measly. "Conclusion", as it were: I still have my
suspicions about KBHB Sturgis being somehow involved — for what that
may be worth. KBHB featuring pop-country mx on their webstream
tonight. 73z, for a judicious 2026, The other G H``

This thing has been mystifying since last February. Time to review
lots of initial reports about it, within:

** U S A. 1430, re my unID, maybe KMES Ogden UT, Tim Hall sends a clip
of his catch, sounds like same ID, but complete: ``1430, KMES, Ogden,
Salt Lake City, Esne Radio`` -- I guess the word is ``Esne`` as in NRC
AM Log. Tnx, Tim. A deep dig into their website finally finds what it
stand for rather cumbersomely: ``El Sembrador Nueva Evangelización``
Sembrador = Sower (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11472-11522 approx., Jan 2 at 1606, multi-carrier,
multi-tones beating against each other, peaking S9 amid. This may or
may not be pertinent to it, since never IDed:

Via Benn Kobb, FCC has informed `experimental` stations such as WL2XEE
that they must start IDing in clear AM voice or Morse Code, following
complaints of QRM from other spectrum users; changing policy which had
``waived`` ID requirements:

``Station ID is mentioned on both pages 1 and 2 of this letter.
https://apps.fcc.gov/els/GetAtt.html?id=389975&x=
I will also cover this in my next Experimental Radio News, coming Real
Soon Now. BK`` Viz.:

``Station identification – unless specifically exempted by the terms
of the station authorization, an experimental radio station shall
transmit its assigned call sign at the end of each complete
transmission at least once every thirty minutes in clear voice or
Morse code, with all digital encoding and digital modulation disabled
during station identification`` - still, listening to such noise for
30+ minutes to catch an ID would be a task. Address in NYC, but where
exactly is WL2XEE? FCC LMS search can`t find it.

Broad search leads to:
https://groups.io/g/radiofromaroundtheworld/topics
Almost all of this is Richard Clifford, reposting stuff from our WOR
iogroup to 15 members. Including an item about WL2XEE in Aurora IL
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 2205 UT January 2

** COLOMBIA. 1100.29, Jan 1 at 0439, het on plus side of WTAM. Bingo,
this in latest NZDX times: ``HJAT Barranquilla has drifted up high to
about 1100.28. Heard with many ID's and Colombia mentions, parallel to
1170 and web stream which was a few seconds off (Neil Kazaross via MW
Offsets io Group 6/12)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Jan 1 at 2029, RHC windhowl only, S6/S7, and 11880, at
2025, S9 of dead air as usual instead of English. Jan 1 is a major
revolutionary holiday you`d think they`d do their best for once, but
SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 7355, Jan 1 at 0420, Xmasmx - can this be R. Martí?
Yes, // 7435, Spanish talking about Xmas. Isn`t this off-topic and a
bit late? Both VG signals (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 15380, Jan 1 at 2030, R. Martí giving SW frequencies
including 11930, and again, 13605 despite the fact that 13605 is in
use only during A-seasons, duh! They can`t even utter their own basic
info accurately. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** INDIA. 11900, Jan 1 at 2026, south Asian song, S5/S6 with flutter,
toward end of French hour from Akashvani, and maybe intrusive English
segment earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 1090, Jan 1 at 0435 UT, Spanish over KAAY, mentioning
`Grupo Mundo Mayá``, ``Multimedia``, ``la mágica de la Navidad``. Got
to be one of two Mexicans, in IRCA Log:

``XEAU NL Monterrey 5000 500 Milenio Radio, Periodismo con Carácter,
Milenio Noticias 10-90 AM 24h? NWS/CHR:S? ORO Still active on AM 5/25

La Señal Que Une a Puebla 24h NWS/TLK ACIR No FM. Still active on AM
8/25 per SDR monitoring. "Radar" newscast. Has used an unusual tacky
instrumental version of anthem with synthesized instruments.``

Broad search indicates Grupo Mundo Maya runs hotels, etc., at
archaeological sites. That correlates with cinco radio, which leads to
XEHR, tho would expect closer XEAU more likely:

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950 AM, 0417 Jan 1, pirate music with some clix,
more music, S8/9 direct. Many reports here as unID or Two Dog Radio,
all in USB, between 0215 and 0443:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,156415.0.html

Also this: ``2 Dog Radio, 1 January 2026, 0240, 6950 USB. 0300,
rendition of Rufus Thomas "Walkin' The Dog" (Sammy Hagar)? Heard it
Thru the Grapevine at 0308 (sounded like Creedence Chronicle version)
and Led Zeppelin at 0138 and cut off to DJ and talk at 0321. Happy New
Year everybody at 0315. "Let's play some music" to some mainstream
older rocker tune. Still audible but fading at 0355. Was way over S9
(rarity in Arizona). Still on after 0400, but JBA. + w/ Drake SW8 and
100' r.w. -- (Rick Barton, AZ)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 21500, Jan 1 at 2032, routine bandscan hits a JBA
signal here, S4, sounds like the thintonations of Josiah on Station
YHWH - yet another new frequency, when nothing else is listed. Then I
try several remotes around North America, and the only one getting him
well is VE6JY in Alberta, accurately calibrated vs WWV 20000, showing
offset about minus 19 Hz. There is also a trace line at Maryland SDR,
-20 Hz. 2052 about incest and cannibalism; 2053 ID as ``YHWH, I`m
Josiah Elias`` then about phony texts in Old Testament,
``Christianity - the greatest hoax ever``; usual screeds, still past
2115, up to S9+15. I let it run mostly in the background. Rarely
listened to him even this much, but I daresay he makes his point in
the first 10 minutes, the rest just over and over and over. Bits of
music, I think his only theme, `Days of Hard Life`, appear
periodically, such as 2134, 2232, 2350 and then he restarts. In fact I
know at 2329 I hear him say exactly the same thing as 2 or 3 hours
ago. Reception generally holds up well into the VE6JY remote,
occasional fade-downs, and at 2241 apparently a brief break in
transmission, but still in well when finally cut off right at 2400*
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 6125 & 7285, Jan 1 at 0419, NO signals from VOT English.
Must be off the air. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.005, Jan 1 at 2340, VOT not off the air, S9+30/40 into
UTwente with Brazilian music, `Happy New Year` in several languages
but not all of them as in the 2-minute multilingual ID filler reel.
And Efsun with the story about Nigel the parrot first heard several
days ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 379 MCW kHz, Jan 1 at 0733 UT, BRA, 100 watt NDB at `Broad
River` Asheville NC. On 379 normally hear RU[E], 25 watts at
Russellville AR; now maybe underneath (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 385 MCW kHz, Jan 1 at 0735 UT, HO, 50-watt NDB at HOt
Springs AR; axually tuned to 383 USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 486 kHz, Jan 1 at 0152 UT into Natural Bridge VA remote, nor
at 0411 UT direct, no sign of Fessenden tribute from Forest VA
supposed to run for 24 hours from 21 UT Dec 31; just like last week.
Wonder if anyone ever heard it? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7505, Jan 1 at 0421 undermod talk S9+10. Cannot recognize as
English, so probably Hindi as sometimes on WRNO, activity very
sporadic (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1700 kHz, Jan 1 at 0801 UT, Fox Sports Radio. Got to be KVNS
Brownsville TX. No sign of SS much closer and usual dominator KKLF
Richardson TX, off? I see that 1700 KBGG Des Moines IA has been silent
since March. Tuning down the Xband, also hear FSR mentions on 1660 KS,
1650 IA, 1640 OK, 1620 NE (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 810.59, Jan 1 at 0432 UT, JBA het against 810.00 WHB

UNIDENTIFIED. 1220 kHz, Jan 1 at 0440 UT, ``motorboating`` sound now
more rapid than before; seems equally on LSB and USB sides (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1430 kHz, Jan 1 at 0759 UT, M&W in Spanish religious
talk, interrupted at 0800 for English ID, ``1430 KNPS Austin`` as I
copied it. But does not correlate with anything close to Austin TX or
Austin MN. There are several other minor Austins. But FCC LMS does not
reach any 1430 station with such a CoL. What did I really hear? There
is a KNSP in Staples MN, but it`s ESPN and nowhere near Austin. Did
they say Ogden instead of Austin? KMES there in UT is SS:REL, U4 25/5
kW. Night pattern somewhat pulled in to our direxion but not a notch.
No other SS:RELs look likely in the K-side of the country (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4110 UT, Jan 1 at 0415, JBA carrier. Could be third
harmonic of something on 1370 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4975, Jan 1 at 0413, still detecting the JBA carrier
here with no idea where it`s coming from, unknown broadcaster, or ute?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11780, Jan 1 at 0425, JBA carrier. Maybe RNA Brasil on
late for NY? EiBi shows nothing else at this hour. But Aoki shows both
Hebrew and Turkish from Iran starting 0423; it`s been mostly inactive.
WRTH 2026 shows Turkish only from 0423.

I had been bandscanning since 0413 for any signs of NYE activity from
Latin America on 90, 60, 49, even 41, 31 and 25 mbs, with nothing to
show for it, but I noted the local high noise levels thru my 100` E/W
longwire on various bands: 90m S9, 60m S9+10, 49m S9+10, 43m S7/S9,
31m S9/+20, 25m S5/S6, 19m S3/S5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
