** 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

** U S A. 5850, Thu Dec 4 at 0747, S9+35/45 of classical music on
WRMI-12; WRN relay of Deutsche Welle is scheduled daily except Sundays
with WOR during this semihour. I would have guessed it were `Encore`
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4840, Thu Dec 4 at 0745, WWCR is S9+40/50 of dead air in
English. Scheduled at 0730-0800 M-F on WWCR-3 is `Insight for Living`,
Chuck Swindoll. Will he get a refund or make-good? Did he or anyone at
WWCR know it was mute? May depend on whom to blame (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** BRAZIL. 11757.47 approx., Dec 3 at 2323, JBA carrier, presumably
latest skewage of R. Voz Missionária, nominal 11750 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** BRAZIL. 28411 USB, Dec 3 at 2307, PU2TWZ, in São Paulo, contacts
including WA4TW at 2308. QRZ.com: ``PU2TWZ Brazil flag Brazil,
Jroberto, ROBERTO "Roberto" LEONEL, Avenida Andorinha 182 Cep 13197428

maybe that was a contact.

28415 USB, Dec 3 at 2310, PY3ZA apparently contacting another

FOLATRE, RUA MARIA ODETE DE OLIVEIRA CHARAO 363, Alvorada, RS 94859060
Brazil`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) see also unID 25955 LSB

** CUBA. 11880, 11760, 15140, 13780, 15230, Dec 3 at 2044 all RHC
frequencies are OFF. Another check at 2321, still all those off, and
not even the China relay on 13650; lower bands not checked. SAWA
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHILE. 28495 USB, Dec 3 at 2313, CE5VKK contacting KA9G. QRZ.com:
``CE5VKK Chile flag Chile, Boris Monares, Avda. 101 Condominio 1777,
Casa 6, Concepción 4030000, Chile`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Dec 3 at 1950+ UT, driving around Enid checking the 93.1
dead air in $ tereo. Not just in my neighborhood, but seems stronger
circa downtown, so perhaps on the east side. At 2028 I`m at the
junxion of US 412 & US 81, where 1680 AM peaks, and now on 93.1 there
is some intermittent undermodulated Xmasmx, and at 2033. No modulation
at all from this until now. Seems to be from this transmitter rather
than an understation which would be more confusable on AM.

95.1, meanwhile is off while I am downtown, but later at 2028 seems to
cut on and off sporadically with music, again not like would be heard
from the real KS or OK fringers.

1680 kHz, Dec 3 at 2000 UT, hourtop ID as Virtual DJ Radio, into
Xmasmx medley starting with Jingle Bells (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 12030, Wed Dec 3 at 2300, REE S7/10 direct off the back of
ME beam, and S9/+10 on 17715 aimed at S America, still no signal on
imaginary 9690 for N America. But as anticipated, NO ENGLISH, rather
Spanish program `La Sala` as on their advance schedule.

Ahead of time, I posted to the WOR indian ocean group: ``If it`s
Wednesday there must still not be any English from Spain. Advance
program sked for Thu 0000 local time shows something in Spanish; nor
Wednesday at 12 local.
https://www.rtve.es/play/guia-rne/radioexterior/manana/
nor any other time. And the last English podcast is still dated 19
Nov, with the two ex-announcers Amy & Marilyn still heading it:
https://www.rtve.es/play/audios/english-language-broadcast/
Glenn``

Alan Roe replied: ``I have emailed englishbroadcast@rtve.es and
english@rtve.es to let them know that I am missing their English
programme and wondering what is happening. I'll let you know if I get
any reply. In the meanwhile, it wouldn't do any harm if other
listeners also wrote to those email addresses asking where English
programming is. Alan Roe, Teddington, UK``

I replied: ``I`ve finally just listened to the end of the last
podcast, Nov 19 starting about 55 minutes into the 62+ minute file,
``We`ll meet again...`` song. Marilyn does not say there would be two
new hosts the following week, but rather ``in future programs``. But
we should keep after them about this. Glenn``

And from Jean-Michel Aubier, France: ``The latest French-language
podcast was released on Nov 18. I also wrote to the team`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Dec 3 at 2259, no signal direct from VOT; at 2332,
not either into UTwente, just ChiCom stuff on 9610 as well.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15016 USB, Dec 3 at 2302, USAF EAM crypto message with echo,
also on // 11175 USB & 8992 USB which have self-imposed? crackles and
less of an echo, more like reverb. Alfanumerix in progress, ending
with message had 164 characters, more than usual: we can only wonder
if this concern real current military operations rather than practice?
``This is start-gun, out`` Sounded like, not sure of ever-changing
tactical call, at 2304. But after a pause, starts all over, ``All
stations, this is Start-Gun``, twice; then intro as ``7D2LTJ, stand
by`` a few times before repeating the entire message starting with
those (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2323 monitoring: confirmed
Wednesday December 3 at 2047 the 2030 on SW Gold Radio, Germany, JBA
into UTwente with noise QRM on low side; good into Bedford UK SDR but
with same QRM.

Also confirmed Wednesday December 3 at 2200 on WBCQ 7490 -40 Hz =
7489.960 into Maryland SDR, higher than usual; calibration not
rechecked, S9/+10. Next:

0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW ;
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;
1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160.

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Wed Dec 3 at 2258, WRMI wrapping up `On the Media`
from WNYC, host appending request for input from SWLs in particular. I
regret not having tuned this every week; however someone reported that
the same episode was playing over and over week after week on WRMI. Is
that still the case? I`m afraid it is: WRMI server shows the only
episode was uploaded March 1, 2025! There are several other times for
it on the WRMI schedules (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** URUGUAY. 28395 USB, Dec 3 at 2307, CX7RM, fonetik ID in English,
heard again. QRZ.com: ``CX7RM Uruguay flag Uruguay, Pablo Goldaracena
Sommaruga, Pinares Calle Sagitario, Punta del Este 20005, Uruguay``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 25955 LSB, Dec 3 at 2316, correct frequency! apparent
freebander mentioning frequency in Brasuguese and 20:16 localtime in
Paraná, interspersed with beeps, S1/S3. Some other similar signals
inside the so-called 11m SWBC band (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
