** ANDORRA [non]. 6005, Dec 7 at 1740, no signal at all from
Kall/Krekel, Germany, as publicized for a special 1980 R. Andorra
broadcast at 17-20 UT today. So stays closed down? Is running however
in French at:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5oj30ZAj2A
Supposed to repeat at 20-23 UT on 3985 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Dec 7 at 0112, R. Rebelde, S9+10/20 dead air in
Spanish; 4765 R. Progreso off. Both are off into Georgia SDR at 0345
check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) Fixing previous report typo: not 5035!

** CUBA. 11760, Dec 7 at 1601, RHC S8/S9 plugging few FM frequencies
in western Cuba, 1602 IS and finally open weekly Esperanto. Only // is
15140 with windhowl, S7/S9. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Dec 7 at 1948, RHC deadair direct, likewise 15140
except for windhowl, so already all set for no English at 2000 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 7320-7325-7330, Dec 7 at 0819, S9+18 of DRM noise. EiBi
shows one of those many irregular DRMs at 08-09 from TDF Issoudun
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 21660, Dec 7 at 1500-1507 check, MiniTransAt is still off
the air (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9660.008, Sun Dec 7 at 1759, VOT English into UTwente,
S9+15/25 Turkish music; feared I tuned in too late for `Letterbox` but
this week does not start until 1801. 1) Ms. Bell?, UK, uses UTwente.
2) Allan Willie, Canada, another set of *100* reception reports using
a 600-foot Beverage antenna at 135 degrees. {This is hardly aimed at
Turkey, and totally unnecessary for SW}. 3) Mohammed Breyel[?], near
KL, Malaysia. {Again I query whether this is the same or related
person to well-known DXer Timm Breyel in Malaysia}. 4) Mr. Roland? --,
Ista? City, Sweden, another FM DX report from Ju[ne or ly? fade], TRT
R3 on 88.0, due to ``extreme atmospheric conditions``. {Guess what,
it`s the ionosphere way above the atmosphere, obviously sporadic E
propagation which is never mentioned. Previously I measured distance
under 1.5 kilomiles}. 5) Siddartha Papajarjee[?], India, questions
about opera shows, rate of TV watching, largest TV company? {Guess he
meant *soap* operas} - they are very popular in Turkey and abroad, TRT
one of the largest. At 1812: 6) Mr Perry Moore, England. 7) David
Golan?, Moncton NB. 8) no name young person, gender unknown, in SW
Malaysia. Rushes home for quick shower before tuning in Malay service
on 17530. {They never mention the time: it`s 05-06 UT, so that would
be 13-14 LT}. 1819 ending, 1820 theme (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2324 monitoring: I did not get to
check any of the Sunday 0730, 1030 or 1130 broadcasts.

``World of Radio on IRRS Milano --- Mr. Hauser, Happen to run across
your World of Radio broadcast on IRRS Milano at 1040 UT 2025-12-07;
signal was poor give a 3,3,2. Was able to hold this station until
about 11:05 UT 2025-12-07 before it faded away. Thank you, Thomas
Dorman, Bell. Oklahoma``

Presumably 9510 and heard direct from Saftica, Romania site? Reply:
``Mr. Hauser, direct on a Tecsun PL 365 on a broom stick antenna mount
horizontally. Thought for a moment WRMI had open up a new frequency
but quickly realize it was IRRS Milano. Mr. Hauser, could it be the
solar storms we are having causing signal to jump over the poles into
the the U.S. plains and the western slopes of the Ozarks? Just
guessing. Thanks, Thomas Dorman`` Maybe, but prop from Europe at that
hour in winter on 9 MHz should not be too unusual. Next:

** U S A. 780, Dec 7 at 0739 UT, WBBM cuts to StarDate already in
progress without any intro, instead of smooth transition at 0740. Also
WBBM has a continuous whine, not a pure tone. Seems on their
transmitter rather than QRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

modulation. No other frequencies even on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

grayline from the land of imperialist ChiCom cultural genocide against
Uighurs and other Moslems (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 7250, Dec 7 at 0105, Mandarin at S9+10. It`s CRI to

America, but obviously not on tonight, alternate? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6925 AM, Dec 7 at 0035, pirate music S9+10/20, still

parody ads with actors, SFX, music, S9+20/30, for gutter cleaning
powered by Diesel engine, on Brain Brothers Radio. 0032 Medicare Magic
Hotline, all-in-one-in-all plan. 0045 `Jingle Bells` performed by
barking dogs. 0046 `Holly Jolly Xmas`. Tuned away until 0053 when
`Star Spangled Banner` is playing, soprano and orchestra, not a
parody. I must have just missed s/off announcement. Followed by JFK:
``Ask not ---``, tone and off* before 0056. Many more logs here:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,154945.0.html
This was really good, wish I had heard more of it. Hope they repeat
it. That reminds me, I am not aware of any of the US licensed SW
stations *ever* playing our national anthem! What a shame. If I were
programming a station, I would collect countless different versions
and play them at least once a day (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PHILIPPINES. 28485 USB, Dec 7 at 0016, Nello, DU1NLO making quick

** TURKEY. 5960.00, Sat Dec 6 at 2336, VOT English not off the air,
S9+35/45 into UTwente. Not checked again until 0002 UT Sun Dec 7 when
measured and when it`s *still* on the air in extraneous German.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. Direct check at 0049 gets a
JBA carrier, probably still2 VOT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15770, Sat Dec 6 at 2008, WRMI with `Henry Norman Show`,
playing oldies. I assumed he was Anglo with a name like that but
speaks with a German? accent. No clue where he really is from web
listing or gmail address. Only half an hour and at 2026 said he would
``see you in 4 weeks`` so must be a monthly produxion but
repeated week to week. Only other time on WRMI sked is Saturday 2330
on 9955, unchecked (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9455, UT Sun Dec 7 at 0058, KB0CQ in the Ozarx of Missouri
saying good night - that must be `Echoes in the Ether` sked 00-01 UT
Sundays on System K. 0100 followed by R. Praga in Spanish but that`s
System E? which thinx it`s with WRN now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0509 UT December 7

** CUBA. 11760, Dec 5 at 2320, RHC howling-wind transmitter now here
from 15140 earlier, Spanish // much louder and clearer 11880,
S9+20/30. Also not off the air are China relays on 13650 s7/S9 and
5960 S9+20. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 15710, Sat Dec 6 at 1607, talk about ``sin`` so a gospel
huxter in English, not noticed before, S5/S6 direct. Sked at 1600-1630
Sats only is Moresh V. of Amhara, an RMI relay via Issoudun --- in
AMHARIC! default to English, or wrong program? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** FRANCE. 21660, Dec 6 around 1503-1510, no signal from MiniTransAt
-- finally they have turned off their useless outdated marine weather
repeats. Likewise from Terry Krueger, NW FL: ``21660 Mini Tranny ---
Silence, finally, 1458-1520+ monitoring today, Saturday 6 December``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN. 28475 USB, Dec 5 at 2324, JQ2JNQ calling CQ 10/DX in
English. No time to check much on 10m, but seems several other JJ like
28465, 28457 and PP from Brasil such as 28415, 28457; and DU accents,
QRZ.com: ``JQ2JNQ Japan flag Japan, Yoshihiro Mochizuki, 2-16-9

00979-1700, USA`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.002, Dec 5 at 2313, no signal direct from VOT, but
algo talk on accidentalternate 9610. However by 2321, weak S9 algo
music on 5960 so VOT probably came on late. At 2332 into UTwente, when
measured, definitely VOT, with sounder and English talk, S9+30/35
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 410 MCW kHz, Dec 6 at 0751 UT, BA, 25-watt NDB at `Clifs`,
Columbus IN. Tuning up in USB I first copied it on 408 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2324 monitoring: confirmed Friday
December 5 at 2130 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.991+, VG S9 into
UTwente across Europe. Tuned in at 2129, `Wavescan` was *starting
until cut off for ID and WOR. Presumably WS had just finished full
play from 2100 as sked, into auto-repeat?

Also confirmed Friday December 5 at 2138 the 2130 on WRMI webcast
only.

But not confirmed Friday December 5 at 2300 on WRMI 9955 because it`s
OFF the air! 9395 & 9455 inbooming and all other WRMI frequencies
nominal. Hopefully was still webcasting, not checked. 9955 back on by
0158 Dec 6 check, S9/+20 music, 0159 Rudy Espinal ID, 0200 R. Prague
International in English. Yet System B sked for 9955 shows that at
0400, and Alameda Bible Fellowship at 0200! Something`s odd at Okee.

Confirmed Friday December 5 at 2333 the 2330 on SW Radio Gold,
Germany, 3975.003, good into UTwente.

Also confirmed UT Saturday December 6 from 0359.8 on WTWW 5085,
traditionally introduced as ``The ministry of ---``, VG S9/+12 into NH
SDR. Earlier at 0210 checked 5085 direct, S9+45/55 and plus/minus 12.8
kHz spurs hitting S9 on 5072.2 and 5097.8 but no significant
modulation on them.

Also confirmed Saturday December 6 at 1533 on SW Radio Gold, Germany,
6160.001+ S9+5 with some ChiCom ACI from 6165; and seems synchronized
on clear 3975.002+, S9+15.

Also confirmed Saturday December 6 at 1630 on WRMI 9955, S9+25/40 into
Georgia SDR.

Also confirmed Saturday December 6 at 1700 on WRMI 7730, S7/S8 JBA

** U S A. WBCQ chex pre-`AAAWWW`, Dec 6 at 0051 into NH SDR which is
accurately calibrated per 10000.000 WWV: 3265 still off. 5130 off.
6160 -73 Hz = 6159.927 R. Angela, 0056 as `Lost Discs Radio Show`.
7490 -23 Hz = 7489.977 higher than before with FKB; 9330 WLCR
Portuguese S5/S9. At *0055, 5130 -43 Hz = 5129.957 cuts on with The
Planet IS & ID loop. At 0100 switching between 7490- & 5130- I may
have missed a confession that it`s a rerun, altho their political
screeds are pretty much the same over and over. 5130 has a continuous
tone, pitch slightly varying, not on 7490 but it`s faded way down, so
I switch to 7490 webcast where it`s barely audible and not so
annoying. By now, 6160 has also switched to `AAAWWW` but it`s weakerly
modulated too. Or not: at 0149 it`s different when he says
trimulcasting on 9330, 7490 and 5130. His opening remarx over theme
are ``no matter what, it`s always about free speech``. 0103 fiddling
with mikes - he on an old one, she on a new one - they are in same
studio for a change, I guess from home in Deland of Fla. On to talk
about Cold War, anti-communism, dissing ``moonbats``, Bernie Sanders,
etc. Quotes RCA`s Gen. Sarnov. He pronounces ``fiefdom`` with a long I
as if it`s where they play fifes? Somehow I keep listening until 0130
as he still hasn`t uttered a datestamp. At 0130 he finally prompts her
to ``introduce the show``: Studio 9 where it`s 77 degrees F, has been
hot in the 90s --- so this can`t be from December, tho still hasn`t
given any real date. Finally at 0151 Allan says it is 4 of April YOOLF
2025! Never mind?
https://www.w4uvh.net/ghlogs_2025_0403_0409.txt
BTW, yesterday, Allan notified me that Radio Angela on 6160 had a new
schedule of 6 pm to 3 am daily ET = 23-08 UT, no longer 24/7. Still no
specific program schedule within (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1030 kHz, Dec 6 UT at 0802, R. Ambiente, Spanish ID along
with FM 101.5, i.e. WGSF Memphis TN. Dominant signal nights on 1030,
never mind WBZ, KTWO, XEQR. See previous logs in November (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 810.60, Dec 6 at 0743 UT, JBA carrier hetting 810.00
WHB. Tim Hall suggested it could be KXOI Crane TX, 1/0.5 kW, which NRC
AM Log shows as Spanish religionism. I need to try to DF it sometime,
but is awfully weak, and reluctant to step outside with the DX-398 on
a cold winter night. Once before in the daytime and just now at 1635
UT I`ve tried the closest KiwiSDR, which is Lubbock TX, but not close
enough, no signal on 810 or 810.6 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1220 kHz, Dec 6 at 0800 UT, `motor-boating` noise again;
never heard anything like it anywhere else on MW or SW bands (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1714 UT December 6

** CUBA. 15140 & 11880, Dec 4 at 1959 tune-in, dead-air from both
RHCs, preventing any audibility of 2000+ English. Probably chopped
previous Kriyol modulating circa 1957 as habitual. Dec 5 tune-in
Georgia remote at 1957, and both same, already DA, SAWA. Waterfall on
``howling wind`` 15140 is neat, very regular repeating patterns
15135-15145 best seen in SAS mode past 2038 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Dec 5 at 1554, RHC Spanish S9/+5 vs windhowl, in the
clear S5/S7 on // 15230. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 21660, Dec 5 at *1503, TDF Issoudun cuts on MiniTransAt
once again, S5/S7 direct, JIP wind and pressure info predicted for
``Wednesday the 19th``, i.e. NOVEMBER; probably same totally outdated
and useless recording as played yesterday and how many days before
then? Also mentions dates 20th and 21st; 1507 ``see you tomorrow``,
and music fill, this time chopped off at 1513* instead of 1515*

Likewise, Terry L Krueger, NW FL: ``Mini Tranny --- Presumably you
were listening to 21660 again today, 5 DEC. Up at 1503Z, outdated
Wednesday November 19th forecast by French accented lady in English,
useless mid-forecast. The same brief techno/vocal female songs they’ve
been using of late as end filler, but off at 1513 instead of 1515.
What’s the point of this? Is it like the Monty Python “Contractual
Obligation” album? Is something inadequate Issoudun?`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 95.1, Dec 5 at 2055 UT, Xmasmx in $ tereo back
on, presumably from the Tree of Lights transmitter in downtown Enid.
But no local 93.1 carrier or music, rather KHMY `My 93.1` Kansas ID
which owns the frequency, tropo-enhanced on a `warm` day. Acts like a
Hutchinson station but CoL is Pratt; perhaps they be ashamed of that
name (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Cable channel 5, Dec 5 at 1601 UT, checking `The View`
from ABC, as usually starts with political comments by Whoopi, Joy
Behar and the other gals I can never tell apart, before they get into
fluff for rest of hour; but the sound is missing, replaced by noise,
Optimum FU again? No! Sometimes I can get KOCO OKC direct thru my
antenna on RF7, and it`s the same! KOCO is axually transmitting this
way on air as well as however Optimum gets feed. Nothing on screen
about audio difficulties! At least the closed captioning is OK. Is
anyone paying attn at KOCO master control? Finally restores View audio
at 1606; dumps out to noise again for a few sex at 1608, and not
checked further (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A. 293 MCW kHz, Dec 5 at 0331, UI, 25-watt NDB at qUIncy IL,
mixing/alternating with dominant FBY, Fairbury NE, which is normally
alone. Periods are almost the same per RNA list: UI 6.180, FBY 6.60
sex.

335 MCW kHz, Dec 5 at 0732 UT, BK, 25-watt NDB `CHRLZ`, at Brookings
SD. Heard only once before, Oct 6, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2324 monitoring: Zach Liangas

https://app.simplenote.com/p/jw5KVs
Impressive in a way but also NOT to be trusted in any detail, replete
with errors, misunderstanding words, so what I said makes no sense,
etc., etc. Especially stupid about proper names. I wonder if it were
made from my audio file, or off-air SW broadcast introducing
additional mistakes. Posted at 0835 UT Dec 5, before any SWBC.

Not confirmed Friday December 5 at 1300 the first SWBC, on WRMI 15770,
since I did not awaken until 1333; but probably. Anyone hear it?

** U S A. 9265, Fri Dec 5 at 2015, dead air at S7/S9 from WINB - or is
it a trace of JBM? Websked dated Nov 2 still has WRONG CONVERSION
between ET and UT of 4 hours instead of 5! If they meant 3:00 pm EST,
the muted show now would be `Worship at Home` - assuming that be a
program rather than an instruxion. WaH length varies depending on day,
judging from next entry on sked: one hour on Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday; one sesquihour on Thursday; one bihour on Friday.
Something`s wrong at wRedLion (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11472-11525 approx., Dec 5 at 2011, multi-carrier,
multi-tones beating across this wide range, peaking S9+20 amid. What
is this? I habitually start my 25m bandscan at 11500 and never hit it
here before; same stuff often around 17450 and other OOB ranges I have
reported (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 2117 UT December 5

** BRAZIL. 11780, Thu Dec 4 at 0749, RNA already in American token
English, about Samba/Reggae. S9+5/15 here but not // on much weaker
6180, some other music. Recheck before 0800, same in Spanish on 11780.
Could 6180 also be RNA as expected but with different program feed?
Nothing else listed at this time. Sort of makes sense, as 6180 is more
for a domestic audience (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 5025, Dec 4 at 0800 and earlier, R. Rebelde is off.
Explaining the absence of any RHC/China relay frequencies earlier on
Dec 3, a Fox `news` bit I happened to hit tuning across KXEL 1540 at
0802: blackout covering the western half of Cuba! Here`s RHC itself
about that as of Dec 4:

https://www.radiohc.cu/restablecido-el-sistema-electrico-nacional-pero-persisten-afectaciones/
1000 megawatt apagón blamed on a shortage of fuel for generators. RHC
not rechecked until 1720: into Georgia SDR, 11880 is back on, loud
S9+5/15, also // 15140 S9+15/20 but sounding much weaker with usual
windhowl.

BTW, when I was trying to reach RHC website, I ran across this HUGE
ARCHIVE of VOA SW Radiograms and other programs, major references
such as HFCC back to 2011:

** FRANCE. 21660, MiniTransAt: from Terry Krueger, NW FL, 0535 UT Dec
4: ``Glenn - I assumed they were done on the 3 Dec check. No trace at
1500Z. I left the channel on while doing tasks around the house. Then
they suddenly appeared at 1506, at the ending of the forecast by the
French accented lady in English. “Goodbye, see you tomorrow” (not sure
how one “sees” via radio). Techno vocals, off 1515. Local level as
always. Apparently a malfunction starting time making the transmission
useless for the boater if he was even listening to antiquated
shortwave. How long will it take one stinking slow boat off Guadeloupe
to make it? I guess they’ll be back 4 Dec but I won’t be home to
check``

I do check it Dec 4: 21660 on air *1503-1515*: JIP English weather
info, for Wednesday the 19th [! of November], also mention Thursday
20th - so is playing back oldstuff on autopilot? At 1507 she says
``See you tomorrow``, and music, more songs at 1510, 1514 to chopoff
1515* which seems to be SOP now. Was S4/S5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF
RADIO 2324)

** NEW ZEALAND. Re: 28228, ZL3TEN not in QRZ.com: ``Hi Glenn! Take
another look. ZL3TEN is run by the Christchurch VHF DX Group:
https://www.qrz.com/db/ZL3TEN
Steve Howe`` - Not sure how I missed that (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. Re: no English yet. This from Michael Andersson in bdxc-news
Dec 4: ``R Exterior de España - English programmes --- I got this
reply today, so a near future comeback is to expect. Good news!

"Hello Michael, Thank you so much for the messages and for listening
us. Marilyn left, as you know, and now we, the two new hosts, are
starting again with the broadcast next week, we needed some training
and time to adapt but next wednesday we will be on air again. Best
wishes, Daniel Riobóo"`` {same also via Simon Frech}

Ken Zichi replies Dec 4: Re: [WOR] Still no English from Spain -- I
too sent an email. Marilyn (Q I presume) responded and told me she was
being told REE was 'well heard' in North America and they had many
reception reports (those were the words she used....) She thought
there may be something wrong with 'my equipment'.

I responded to THAT saying 'someone is not telling you the full story'
and relayed that the North American beamed frequencies have been off
the air for MONTHS, I was not the only person noticing that, and it
was near impossible to hear them since the season change. I even sent
audio recordings in a separate message to demonstrate how poorly they
were received.

She replied that she would be 'on vacation for a week' and would
follow up when she got back. I then saw a post here that she was
moving to a different department and there would be new EE host(s) but
I've heard nothing directly back from Marilyn or anyone else at REE
since then. I tried again this AM to the 'general' email -- we'll see
if I get a response! Thanks for also trying. I'm curious to hear if
you get a response! 73 //Ken Z`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO
