From now and for an unknown time, at least for 3years, I will not use any radio except the remote SDRs for DXing. Recently wemoved from the village back to the city in a space that prohibits the use ofdesktop DXing, a place flooded by high levels of noise in the LMHF bands. Theradio is now used mostly for FM, for news listening.we run politically livelycondition with always very interesting twits every day ..

** CHINA. 6865 AM, Dec 24 at 2308 talk unseems Chinese but must be
CNR1 jammer vs Sound of Hope, S9/+10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Dec 24 at 1532, RHC music S9+10/20 mixed with windhowl
here; something`s always wrong at RHC. Also music in clear on 15230
S6/S7 and at 1536, S7 on 11760. At 2001 when English should be heard,
15140 is only howling at S9, and 11880 air is dead at S7 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY [non]. 15770, Dec 24 at 1840, this WRMI is in German,
turned over to NDR for annual Xmas eve special, `Gruß an Bord`.
Sufficient reception S9+5 into Maryland SDR so I don`t try to track
down all the other sites and frequencies. The first hour I think was
just lead-in? At 1901 officially underway with what else, a song in
English, ``Hey, Take Me Away``. Almost all talk, YL host interviewing
sailors in German, apparently recorded a couple weeks ago. At 1908
it`s a Filipino so they converse in English! and she summarizes in
German; said would be asea on Xmas day on way to Singapore. And then
another Filipino visiting Hamburg. 1919 some sounds of traffic in
Manila; 1930 song, etc., etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN. 28430 USB, Dec 24 at 2303, JA1UTQ in contact with a KM6, in
USA I think, not Midway! among fewsigs on 10m, also the reliable
28555, JG1OUT. QRZ.com: ``JA1UTQ Japan flag Japan, KATSUMI HAGIWARA,
2-191-2 HATANAKA, OME 198-0061, TOKYO, Japan`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6965 USB, Dec 24 at 2307, S9+10, ``Do You Hear What
I Hear/See/etc.?``, other Xmasmx. These say it`s WTF Radio Worldwide:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,155943.0.html
with some neat Xmassy H2Ofall images (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Visiting downtown for nothing in P O Box 1684, circa 2100
UT Dec 24, dead air in $ tereo instead of music is back on 95.1, also
93.1; and to the southwest, 1680 Virtual DJ Radio still going with
Xmas mx (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Unseasonably warm weather has led to tropo TVDX. Dec 24
at 1550 UT am getting decodes on several Tulsa-area market channels,
such as RF 36, 34, 28, 26, 11; notably RF 14 with ``ABC``, i.e. 8-1
KTUL. IIRC they used to be on RF 10. Rabbitears.info has all the KTUL
subchannels duplicated on RF 24, but that`s way off in McAlester.
Near-/or record-breaking hightemps, in Enid 78 degrees (Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Dec 24 at 2325, S9+40 direct, REE in Spanish with
Xmas story, as we were forewarned their token English hour would be
blown away for a domestic relay (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Dec 24 at 2258, VOT English ID & IS, S9/+10 direct,
so not off the air; by 2325 inferior signal into Maryland SDR. By 2358
not not off the air into UTwente, failing to override ChiCom with
extraneous German (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non]. 9310, Dec 24 at 1537, Korean at S9+15/20, incomparably
biggersig than 9330 WBCQ, 9395 WRMI. It`s VOA via Tinang, PHILIPPINES,
no doubt on 21 degree beam not only toward N Korea but onward to deep
USA. Was reactivated Dec 16, at 1530-1545 only with newscast played
thrice. WOR iog monitors have been reporting it, but first time I`ve
checked it. One ran it thru translation, and guess what, the `news`
was all about *rump. So it`s really ``VOT``. Korean is easily
recognized by the word ``imnida`` at end of sentences every few
seconds. Or is it inmida? What does it mean, period? I don`t have it
Roman-spelt well enough for Google to translate (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2326 monitoring: I missed checking
the Saturday December 20 at 2230 on WRMI 15770 & 17790, but got a
report with AV recording of that on 17790 from Atsuhiko Takezawa,
Nagoya, Japan. Tnx!

UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIALS

``Glenn, allow me to honor your lifetime radio service, and in
particular, your dedication to the international shortwave radio
world. Your international standing among the DXing fraternity is most
remarkable. I am now 94 years old. Christmas and New Year greetings,
and God bless, Adrian M. Peterson, Martinsville, IN`` - with a hefty
640-page book, `The Desire of Ages`, which he ``might add, this is the
best book I have ever read on the life story of Jesus``. Adrian, of
course, deserves equal plaudits for his many years of scripting AWR DX
programs, Radio Monitors International, Wavescan (gh)

With seasonal greetings, this report dispatched at 0020 UT Dec 25

** U S A. 1100 kHz, Dec 23 at 0745 UT, understation to WTAM, mentions
``Red River Valley`` - and there is one station matching, WZFG
Dilworth MN = across the RR Valley [of the north] from Fargo ND,
U2 50000/400 watts, so likely would be on ND day power
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Re: ``1360, Mon Dec 22 from before 0607 UT, very strange
lexure about black holes, rays of sun, plasma, neon & helium in
ionosphere, krypton, the Moon is not a solid object! Exaggerated
professorial? accent with music background. Still pseudo-scientific at
0617. I hope this be entertainment rather than something serious...``
as maybe KSCJ Sioux City?

``Glenn: -- "UNIDENTIFIED. 1360..." My bux are on KHNC Johnstown, CO —
which I've heard on SDRs a time or two, with somewhat, shall we say,
"eclectic" talkradio material, despite its fairly-podunk QTH. Most 73z
as always, The other G H`` = Greg Hardison.

KHNC is U2 10/1 kW, ``The Roar of the Rockies`` - Johnstown is near
Greeley/Loveland/Fort Collins due N of Denver. Night pattern major
lobes N/S, less major E/W, notches including to the SE.
https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KHNC&service=AM&h=N

displays only current day and rest of following week, but next Sunday

``Europa: The Last Battle is a 2017 English-language Swedish ten-part
neo-Nazi propaganda film created by Tobias Bratt, a Swedish far-right
