** BRAZIL [non]. 11910, Dec 22 at 2341, JBA AM carrier, presumably
NHK, in the absence of any DRM noise from antipodal RNA. Replying to
my previous note that it was missing:
``DMR from Brazil Out of Air for a Few Days --- As posted to the DRMNA
io group today (21 December): "Tx on 11910 kHz is off for some
repairs. To be back after Christmas." -- Richard Langley`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. 6850, Dec 22 at 2316, Chinese, and also 6865 but marred by
local? blob. Both in Aoki/NDXC as CNR1 jammer frequencies vs Sound of
Hope (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 13762 & 13638 approx., Dec 22 at 1550, +/- 62 kHz spurblobs
with F# tone, Spanish modulation, only S3-S4 out of RHC 13700 which is
S9+10/20 and overmodulated. Spurs nowhere near as strong as they can
be; something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6937-USB, Dec 22 at 2307, pirate talk S4-S6 and soon
some Nat King Cole songs, ``My Love For You`` at first thought sounded
like ``Makin` Whoopee``; 2313 talking about NKC and more songs; off by
2337 recheck. These say
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,75870.0.html
Zeke`s Attics [sic] was on 6937-USB from 2217 [sic: ``2017``] but no
reports later than 2303, previously no NKC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SINGAPORE. 7355, Dec 22 at 1543, Korean Talk at S9/+10; YL seems to
have a Japanese accent. BBC via Kranji at 1530-1830, 250 kW at 25
degrees carrying on USward (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 335-MCW kHz, Dec 22 at 0724 UT, ND beacon BV, which is 25
watts from Batesville - Almond, Arkansas. I was tuned to 333-USB.
BTW, elevated extreme high local noise level blamed on Xmas lights,
S9+10/20 over most of LW, MW and SW --- grrr! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5800, 5850, 5950, 7570, 7730, 9395, Dec 23 at 0257 I find
open carriers/dead air on all these WRMI frequencies, and maybe also
7780 which is too weak to be sure, maybe JBM. Did not get 9955 checked
in time. Automation computers all failed, yet power is on to run the
transmitters? But at 0300 remodulating with TOMBS on 5850, 7570, 7730;
Biermann on 5950 = YWS or T2P; 9395 at 0303 with hard-sell Medicare
supplement spot ad, and 0304 ``back to the music`` = ``Wheels``. 5800
probably `Freedom Synergy Radio` contrary to sked, definitely by 0330
as in next item (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5800, UT Wed Dec 23 at 0300, dead-air festival ends with
something on this WRMI, but NOT `La Rosa de Tokio` as scheduled; at
0330 it`s `Freedom Synergy Radio`, in English with Spanish-accented
pro-Taiwan, anti-ChiCom discussion, just like last night, when FSR
blew away `Wavescan` at 0300 and WOR at 0330. All these are still on
the System H schedule for 5800, but is revived FSR being stripped
across here 0300-0400, five or even seven days a week? If so that also
deletes: `Encore` on UT Thursday; `VORW` on UT Friday; `Encore` on UT
Saturday, or as already publicized for holiday specialism, `TRSW` on
Dec 26 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6948-AM, Dec 23 at 0306-0317+, S8 of open carrier;
pirate QRX or what? Instead of the usual one on 6860? No, that one is
still on too (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
