** ASCENSION [and non]. 11810, Dec 17 at 0645, JBA carrier is the
SSOB; per EiBi BBC English this hour only to CAf. Only othersig is
even weaker 11760, Cuba or China (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** BRAZIL [and non]. 28394 USB, Dec 17 at 2307, Denis in Santa
Catarina working weaker JF1EHM in Yokohama. QRZ.com: ``PP5JDS Brazil flag Brazil, Associação de Radioamadores de Jaraguá do
Sul - ARJAS, Rua Luís Spézia, 120, Jaraguá do Sul, SC 89253210,
Brazil`` ``JF1EHM Japan flag Japan, Ishida Hiroaki, 2-5 Yoshino-cho, Minami-ku,
Yokohama-city, Kanagawa, 232-0014, Japan`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CANADA. 346 MCW kHz, Dec 17 at 0700 UT, carrier detected here but
can hear dash and YXL beacon IDs tuned only to 344 USB, rather than a
real 344 station, JA or JL. YXL = Sioux Lookout, Ont. Usually hear it
tuned to 346 USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. 5980, Dec 17 at 1457, JBA signal presumably CRI Japanese via
Xianyang site at 1500-1557, still JBA at 1513, JJBBA at 1541 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 9710, Dec 17 at 0648, S5/S6 of dead air, presumed RHC. Also
11760 at 0645 JBAC, Cuba or maybe China? 5025 at 0657, S9+15/20 of
dead air in Spanish from R. Rebelde. Something`s always wrong at RHC
and RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140, Dec 17 at 1544, RHC music S9 with windhowl; 15230
music clear but only S5/S6. At 1547, 11760 music S7. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11880, Dec 17 at 2005, RHC English S9 direct and not cut off
yet, while 15140 is S9+30 including windhowl. At 2011 into Georgia
SDR, 11880 is VG S9+15/22, and 15140 with howl S9+20/27. 2028 next
check, 15140 drops mod at 2028.5 and off air at 2029*. 11880 is still
on with dead air, but soon mod cuts back on, and 15140 is still off.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 11760, Dec 17 at 2316, RHC howling only, S9+30, but 11880 VG
S9+30 in Spanish; no 15 or 13 MHz or 9 MHz on. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) ** CUBA [non]. 9490, re my not hearing R. República via RMI via
FRANCE, Richard Langley, New Brunswick, replies: ``I've been checking
nightly for the past several weeks. It's only on Sunday evenings
(Monday UTC). And the signal strength is not like it used to be, 0200-
0400 UTC. A different time slot than in the HFCC listing. No
discernible jamming currently at my QTH`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [non]. 11930, Dec 17 at 1458, caught fragment of R. Martí ID
with SW frequencies, which they rarely specify, for good reason, as
they change a lot during the day and from season to season. The only
one I catch is ``13605``, which is an A-, not B-season channel! It
really uses 13570 and/or 13820. WOR iogroupies who have visited Cuba
say people there are not very interested in listening to it, may be
more for Cubans in Miami (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO [and non]. 1000 kHz, Dec 17 at 0709 UT, Mexmx vs WMVP
Chicago ESPN sports talk. Spanish occasionally peaks, and no sign of
KTOK OKC with C2CAM, which has a poor night signal here, until 0722.
Several SS announcements such as 0743, but just cannot pull an ID vs
the QRM. NRC AM Log shows three USA SS on 1000, all low-power
daytimers, in MA, NC; and TX, KBIB Marion which may be close enough,
but MA and TX stations are also RELigious. IRCA Mexican Log has three,
surely not the Chiapas. That leaves XEOY $ tereo Cien, CDMX, 50/20 kW;
and XEFV Juárez, 1/1? kW, La Rancherita; by format that leaves XEFZ,
as XEOY is supposedly English CHR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 960, Dec 17 at 0706 UT, local KGWA is OFF! Yet 100.9
K265FL translator is still on, RDS claiming to be ``KGWA-FM`` -- is
that legal? and into C2CAM. How can it ``translate`` a non-signal??
See USA for what else I heard (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 1680, Dec 17 at 2130 UT, within the small coverage area
of Virtual DJ Radio in Enid, it`s OFF! Had been extremely reliable
until now. We shall hear whether it`s permanent (Glenn Hauser, Enid,
WOR) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 5140 USB, Wed Dec 17 at *1500, YL NCS promptly
opens Okla security net, her call WSHM692. Calls always fonetikaly,
but so rapidly and without recording, not sure I have copied all
correctly. Counts 1 2 3 4 5, 5 4 3 2 1, and then roll call, mostly
with no answers: WQYW443; WQJT582 Broken Arrow; WQSY836 Vance? AFB;
WN_V700 Durant answers; WNYW215 Ponca City; KNGR728 Pontotoc County;
WPFY721 Seminole answers; WNBM839 Stillwater answers; WNBE830
Jefferson City MO. At 1507 she has completed rollcall, and says next
net will be after holidays on Jan 7; belatedly WNBE830 chex in and
some further contacts. 1509 WPFY721, says the Missouri net is at 9:30
am CT on first & third Wednesdays [like today but I do not try to copy
that]. All clear at 1512. Most also give names: WNBE830 is Mike. They
are all OMish voices, except for the NCS. Additional info from Don
Moore`s previous logs: Broken Arrow as WQZT582. Ponca City as WNUW215.
WSHM692 in OKC. WQSY836 as Beggs (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SPAIN. 12030, Wed Dec 17 at 2259, song and REE ID, S9+10/20
direct, and sufficient off back of ME beam as NAm {NOT ``Nam`` as in
Viet; it stands for North America with a capital A} frequency 9690 is
still imaginary; 17715 for SAm no longer alternative as JBA carrier,
let alone to Af 17755 even weaker JJBBA carrier. 2300 timesignal,
Spanish ID, English welcome claiming to be ``live`` with Alba Cuéllar
and Daniel Riobóo. She has a lite accent and he has a heavy accent but
fully understandable; previewing some topix: Venezuela/US battles in
Caribbean; social media restrixions to teens as in Australia; 2302
news of the week summary. 2351 into UTwente, s/off to heavy rock
music, he says ``we remember you``, meaning ``we remind you ---``, a
typical Spanish/English confusion (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.002-, Dec 17 at 2258, VOT not off the air,
S9/+10 direct with IS. At 2351 into UTwente when measured, S9+30/40
with music; 2354 s/off as if it`s the 1330 on 13635 for Europe,
something`s always awry at Ankara, bit of IS to 2355* uncovering
ChiCom music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 24947 USB, Dec 17 at 2312, KQ4TPD working POTA = Parks on
the Air. QRZ.com: ``KQ4TPD USA flag USA, Corey L Mosley, 10878 Cord
Ave, Bay Minette, AL 36507, USA`` - sure not much activity on 12m band
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2325 monitoring: confirmed UT
Wednesday December 17 from 0030.6 on Shortwave Radio Gold, Germany,
3975.002+, S6.5/7.5 into UTwente. Also confirmed UT Wednesday December 17 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/20
into Georgia SDR; at 0156 into N9AZZ IL remote, S7/S8. Also confirmed Wednesday December 17 at 2030 on SW Radio Gold,
Germany, S7/S9 into UTwente. Also confirmed Wednesday December 17 at 2200 on WBCQ 7490 -41 Hz =
7489.959, S9/+10 into Maryland SDR; assertive Bible reader as if he
believes that stuff, chopped off at 2200 for ID and WOR. Next: 0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW ;
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;
1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160. As a noncommercial public service program, financial support
appreciated. Thanks this week to Doug Brown, London, Ontario for a
check on a US bank to Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702, and
says, ``Thanks for all you do to keep our great hobby going (if only
on life support)`` One may also contribute, not necessarily in US funds via PayPal to:
woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9455, VG Wed Dec 17 at 2203, VORW with John underway, as
scheduled on System D, WRMI-11 - rather odd to break the M-F airings
of RAE in Portuguese, still on Mon/Tue/Thu/Fri (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) ** U S A. 9955, Dec 17 at 2318, S9+20/30 of dead air direct on this
WRMI-3, and still/again at 2350 check into Maryland SDR. System B sked
during this hour are `Dialogando en el Camino` and `Frecuencia al
Día`. Something`s odd at Okee (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 910 kHz, Dec 17 at 0705 UT, ads for BrookingsAutomall.com,
Brookings Radio, AM 910 ID. NRC AM Log shows Brookings SD address
for: KJJQ, Volga SD, U4 500/500 watts. Both are in east central SD,
between Watertown and Sioux Falls. Day pattern favors NNE/SSW, night
pattern a notch to the SW, but maybe enough lobe to SSW (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR) ** U S A. 960 kHz, Dec 17 at 0711 UT, in absence of local KGWA amid
pileup I hear ``WERCFM.com``, i.e. WERC [AM], Birmingham AL, U2 5/5
kW. Night pattern favors south, notch to the NW maybe far enough off
our WNW direxion (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1310 kHz, Dec 17 at 0718 UT, weather for Hutchinson from
KGLB. What? Not aware of any such station in Hutchinson KS, especially
with second-adjacent 1290 KMMM Pratt pretending to be a Hutch station.
No, per NRC AM Log, KGLB is in Glencoe, near Hutchinson, south-central
MINNESOTA between St Cloud and Mankato, WSW of MSP; U4 2500/270
watts. Day and night patterns broadly favor the South to SSW (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 11503-11558 approx., Dec 17 at 1547, multi-carrier,
multi-tones beating against each other, peaking S9+20 amid. What is
this? Previous span heard was a bit lower on both sides of 11500. Good
thing the Kurdo-Turko Radio War is over. UDXF has provided a huge
frequency list, but too much info, and just shows specific
frequencies, not wideband spans (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0113 UT December 18
