** 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:

** 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.

** CANADA. 351 MCW kHz, Dec 8 at 0712 UT, dash and YKQ, 500-watt NDB
at Waskaganish QC, again making it, only the #2 Canadian after more
regular 346 kHz YXL Sioux Lookout ON. More details in previous report
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 353 MCW kHz, Dec 8 at 0713 UT, dash and PG, JBA, period of
repetition 10 seconds from PortaGe MB. #3 Canadian when YXL and YKQ
are already audible. Why isn`t it YPG? RNA list shows only 25 watts
and T of 9.775 sex. Presumably Portage-la-Prairie which is midway
between Brandon and Winnipeg. Unusual to hear this on 353 rather than
LI, LIttle Rock AR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, Dec 8 at 1931, RHC Kriyol, VG S9+15/20 into Georgia
SDR, only here, 15140 nor any others on air. This time I keep
listening and hear modulation chopped at 1956, replaced by hum rather
than totally deadair, plenty of time to prevent English from airing at
2000. Still no other RHC frequencies are on, but the hum continues
past 2000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FINLAND [non]. 6120.004, Dec 8 at 1940, ME music, S9/+10 into
UTwente, no doubt V of Turkey as scheduled from 1930 in Turkish per
EiBi. R. Blacksmith Knoll was publicized by Kari Kallio as saluting
Sibelius on his birthday with classical music all day, but check a
sesquihour earlier was not hearing it. East Turkistan also listed on
6120 until 1800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN [non]. 7450, Dec 8 at 0520, ``Radio Japan, Tokyo`` and off.
French to WAf sked 0500-0520 via FRANCE (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 6145, Dec 8 at 0516, S9+10/20 direct, sports report in
Romanian, and RR Actualitatsi ID, i.e. relay of a domestic network.
It`s via Galbeni for southern Europe at 05-06 only (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2324 monitoring: Confirmed Sunday
December 7 at 2000 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.998-, S9+5 into
UTwente. Previous preacher was still talking when interrupted just
before 2000 for 7290 s/off, ID and WOR.

Also confirmed Sunday December 7 at 2121 the 2100 on WRN Europe
stream.

Also confirmed Sunday December 7 at 2258 the 2230 on SW Radio Gold,
Germany, 3975.002+, JBA S6/S7 into UTwente.

Also confirmed Sunday December 7 at 2330 on WRMI 9455, S9+20/40 into
Georgia SDR.

Also confirmed UT Monday December 8 at 0000 on WRMI 9395, S9+30 into

Also confirmed UT Monday December 8 from 0404.5 on Area 51 webcast.
Tuned in at 0358, WBCQ 5130 -83 Hz = 5129.917 was S9/+15 into Maryland
SDR - but dead air. Meanwhile stream was OK. SW finally came to life
at 0400 for WBCQ s/off. JL on RNYI 11-L gotta go a bit late at 0401,

** U S A. 7489.9, Dec 8 at 0521 tune-in, S9 of dead air and shortly
off*. Got to be WBCQ on signature skewed frequency but no chance to
pinpoint it. Supposedly with TOMBS until 0500. Three 40-mb
broadcasters in a row close just as I tune them in, avoiding me?
Vatican, Japan via France, WBCQ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9275, Dec 8 at 1554, DEJOM JBA S3 direct. WMLK supposed to
be on 15150 at this hour. They are not free to run any of their three
frequencies at any hour as they have been doing. FCC still hasn`t put
up B25 registrations, but B24 required 15150, 17525 and 9275 in that
order one at a time during the day. BTW, right now even 9330 WLCR/WBCQ
is also JBA S4 despite K-index of 0 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN. 7360, Dec 8 at 0519, ``LIX`` Latin catch-phrase and VR IS,
S9 = noise level and off. Russian sked 0500-0520 and supposed to be
followed by another hourthird in Ukrainian. Maybe backcame after I
outtuned? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN. 11755, Monday December 8 at 1958, bit of Rosary, VR IS and
off. Noticed as splash upon 11760 checking for absent RHC, good into
Georgia SDR, but gone before I could meter it. EiBi shows 1940-2000
Sundays only while Aoki has it daily in Latin (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 810.60 kHz, Dec 8 at 0528 UT, mystery carrier again
hetting 810.0 WHB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 981+ kHz, Dec 8 at 0505 UT, het upon 980.00 stations,
somewhat more than 1000 Hz. 981 would be a TA frequency, but no trace
of any others in complete 9/kHz bandscan. Not heard at 0511. Maybe
something local (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 3455 USB, Dec 8 at 0723, ATC comms, could not make out
any clues. EiBi shows NY, SF/Hawaii and Shannon; but Klingenfuß adds
many Caribbean area stations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5598 USB, Dec 8 at 0729. ATC specifies 3016 as
secondary, mentions Santa Maria, i.e. Azores, selcall tones. EiBi
shows Azores, Gander, Shannon and New York. Klingenfuß 2022 adds
Canary and some Caribs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
