** ALGERIA. 891 kHz, Dec 19 at 0705 and still 0717, carrier hetting
WLS 890. The RTA transmitter on 891 used to be our best Algerian
signal into deep North America, but missing for years. Reports from
Spain and elsewhere in Europe had just reported it reactivated first
with 1 kHz tone tests, like recently on 576 kHz from another site.
WRTH 2020 shows 891 as 600 kW, but half power at 1900-0600. Likewise
half-power hours for 576 and 252 kHz; and none of them shown as having
been inactive (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2013, DX LISTENING

** NORTH AMERICA. 7470, Dec 19 at 0344 tune-in, anti-Christ pirate,
Station YHWH back on his old evening frequency, fair and recognizable,
but with a medium SAH, which would be from Deewa Radio, via
Lampertheim, Germany, scheduled 0100-0400. No SAH at 0402 check; 0425
recheck, in music, his theme tune, Days of Hard Life? Others call it
creepy but I`ve not heard it straight thru; 0427 brief talk and off by
0428*. Had not heard him for a few days in the afternoon on 25mb where
first noted reactivated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2013, DX

** TURKEY. 6125, Dec 19 at 0403, no signal from VOT English to W North
America, just some residual Cuban pulse jamming despite Radio/TV Martí
finishing at 0400. I leave receiver on with BFO until TRT carrier cuts
on very late at *0416 over jamming; 0417;40 JIP modulation in song;
S9+10/20 including the jamming. 0420 `Turkey Tourism` program about
Anatolia. Something`s always wrong at Emirler.
5960, Dec 19 at 2336 check, no signal from VOT`s other broadcast to
NAm. Something`s always wrong at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX

** U S A. 9425, Dec 19 at 2134 & 2150, no signal from SMTV via WRMI
unlike the last two days; back on 5800? Not there either -- until 2325
check now 5800 is back on at S9+10 with the SM again promoting
Buddhism. There was nothing in HFCC or on WRMI website about 9425, but
Mike Terry found an FB post dated Dec 18 that they were experimenting
with 9425 until further notice, at 2100-0200. I guess that notice
already arrived (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2013, DX LISTENING
