** CUBA. 5040, 6145, and even 6060, UT Sun Dec 22 at 0721, unusual
combo of RHC frequencies in English at this late hour, during Arnie
Coro`s other show as Science Editor, `Breakthru`. Usually only 6145 is
on after 0700. Not 6000 or 6100. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK,, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 13768 approx., Dec 22 at 1433, spurblob from RHC 13700,
matched by a weaker one around 13632; `En Contacto` soon starts, Arnie
remarking about lack of manchas solares. By 1445 already filling with
theme music, Marta claiming meterbands they are on but lacking 41m ---
what does she know? Then I confirm on JBA 7340. 1446 back to AC about
lack of sunspots. Really short of material this week, more theme music
fill in show introduced as ``15 minutos``, 1449 over a minute early to
`En Cía. del Dr.` Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, Dec 22 at 1439, chanting music, presumed
Dengê Welat via PRIDNETROVYE; weaker similar music on 11540: could
that be the Turkish jammer? Then 11530 into talk, while music
continues on 11540 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17655, Dec 22 at 1713, VOA Portuguese Portuguese is S9+20/30
and the OSOB, proving that 16m can still work. But I think this be
winter sporadic E from Grimesland NC to here, as on 6m map with MUF up
to 26 MHz between us. Also stronger than anything on 19m, topped by
RHC 15140 at S9+20. Other USA signals on 15825, 15770 remain very
weak. AFAIK so far there has been hardly any winter Es activity
reaching VHF TV or FM bands (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7570, Dec 22 at 0726, WRMI-11 is still off the air, AWOL.
Latest skedgrid shows it supposed to be nothing but 22-11 TOMBS, 11-14
SMTV (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6018.85-USB, approx., Dec 22 at 0724, 2-way INTRUDERS in
unknown language (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7475, Dec 22 at 0727, S5-S6 open carrier again when
nothing is scheduled; ute? This was once a Voice of Greece frequency,
but for years nothing but 9420 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9200-USB, Dec 22 at 1450, 2-way in Spanish with clix,
laughing, discussing putas and madres, still going past 1513 check
