** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Sat Dec 17 at 1458, LRA36 is already on
with songs, S5/S8 into Argentine SDR I am sharing with someones in
Chicago, Bochum; 1502 another song, but disappears at 1505* before any
sign/on. I jiggle tuning to 15475.00 USB, but cannot detect any
reduced carrier. Just in case, I keep listening to the noise until
1549 but never resumes. Quite a bust today and barely managed a
semihour back on Wednesday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 5040, 6000, 6060, 6100, 6165, 10080, etc., Dec 17 at 0721, NO
signals at all from RHC. At least one of them is usually remaining.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA [and non]. 5025, Dec 17 at 0724, R. Rebelde music is S9+20/30
but somewhat overmodulatedistorted. Nothing on 10050, clear for Gander
VOLMET 10051 USB. That station should have been raising a ruckus about
the harmonic, if they knew what was happening; and still could (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** FINLAND [non]. 3955, Dec 17 at 1952, I remember that the Radio
Strömsö special should be on at 19-20, instead of erroneous originally
publicized time of 18-19. Yes, there it is into UTwente SDR, S5/S7 in
music, best heard at <6 kHz bandwidth on AM or AM Synch. 1953 English
talk about visiting S. island; 1955 contact info; 1956 old Xmas carol;
1958 Texas R SW outro; 1959 TYROT IS but cut to Channel 292 = GERMANY
ID; and that soon overridden by very strong open carrier producing
medium SAH which proves to be from 2000 KBS World Radio in German,
listed via Woofferton UK relay (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Dec 17 at 0732, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati.
See UNIDENTIFIED for a few others at this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** MALI [and non]. 5995, Dec 17 at 1852, since it`s Saturday I
remember to tune in for ORTM`s token English broadcast weekly. Canary
SDR gets it S7/S8 but must use AMNarrow, LSB or SAL mode to avoid
stronger signal ACI from 6000, NHK via France until 1900. Also weaker
CCI on 5995: only listed is Korean radio war, if it`s this week`s Echo
of Hope frequency. Something about friendly relations with China,
Tunisia also mentioned, a coalition. M reader is enunciating slowly
and clearly but still a struggle to follow the gist. Alternating W has
heavier accent and speaks faster. Presentation by ambassador about
students learning Chinese, English, a ceremony in November? 1903 till
next week and into music. 1907 I go back to The Met via KUCO for the
first intermission feature during Rigoletto. Next week: The Magic
Flute, in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NIGERIA. 7255-, Dec 17 at 0720, no signal from VON (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. Now we know what really accounts for the drastic changes
at 90.1, KUCO FM we have previously covered. Found on the homepage Dec
17:
``What's Happening with KUCO Programming? Many of you have probably
noticed some changes taking place with KUCO's programming. KUCO is the
ONLY radio station still playing CDs. Our CD players are failing at an
alarming rate and there are no options to repair or replace them. It's
crucial we digitize our music library as soon as possible. This is a
MASSIVE undertaking with a projected timeline of five years. In order
to speed up this process, we are TEMPORARILY using a streaming service
so our extremely small staff can spend their time converting our CDs.
All of KUCO's current on-air staff is still here and we are all
working feverishly to complete this critical upgrade. We appreciate
your patience and we will be back with our local hosts in January.
Thank you for your support and Happy Holidays! Best, Jeff Hagy``
Other disruptions continue: `From the Top` dropped off at 1646 UT Dec
17, soon replaced by backup music from KUCO for 4 minutes. After 1703
I`m hearing jazz piano and percussion instead of `The Score` as
scheduled. Faked out: that really is `The Score` or transition to it
at 1706 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A. (7490v), UT Sat Dec 17 at 0100-0201, WBCQ webcast of
`AAAWWW`, starts with a sneeze, somehow relates that to Free Speech;
A&A arguing about whether microphoniums are open, usual banter. 0106
announces that Angela became a US citizen last Friday which is why
there was no new show. The process took some 4 years and would have
lasted longer without some legal help: but they did it the right way.
Never mentioned whether she renounced Canadian citizenship, which the
US considers optional despite wording of the Oath. They go thru some
typical citizenship test Q&A.
Quick check of the SW frequencies into NH remote: 6159.936, 7489.938,
5129.997; while 3265v & 9330v are off. 0125 datestamp of 16 Dec YOOLF
2022 and trimulcasting. SuperStition has been off since Monday Dec 12
and hope to have it back on by following Monday; as a crew has been
retuning the antenna. ``Glenn Hauser, get it right``, accusing me of
getting it wrong. Anything ``wrong`` has been due to lack of explicit
info out of AW about what is really going on, forcing us to speculate!
Asks for prayers for some staff who are hurting. Does not mention
``electrocuted`` this week as twice before, never with any details of
how it happened, how serious if not deadly, and who exactly is
suffering. God knows?
Ant has been under maintenance since summer. It was almost built when
they got it in 2017/18 but then Ampegon went bankrupt and
knowledgeable engineers could not come over from Switzerland, because
of pandemic. Now someone from Germany is leading the work. Expensive,
e.g. a single cap costs $ 20K. Supporting tube is 10 to 15 ft diameter.
Ant is 4 vertical x 4 horizontal dipoles = 16. SS antenna is as
impressive as the Grand Canyon when you stand under it, rather than
just looking at photos. Maintenance should be completely finished by
end of next week = 24 Dec. It`s 52 degrees in Fla which they consider
frigid, and worry about how cold it has to get before Angela`s horses
need to be blanketed. 0137 excerpts of articles from Radio World, in
defense of AM radio in cars; and of analog by WFMU GM; 0149 BBC
planning to be online only by 2030y ``only 8 years from now`` -- make
that 7. 0054 a few emails only from political supporters. Yes, they
could not resist some digs at Biden vs their ``real`` president T****.
Usual wrapup, prayer, joining Hal Turner about a minute late (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 7730, Dec 17 at 0716, for first time since hurricane
destruxion, a carrier here as I tune across every night, S7/S9 and
maybe a trace of modulation, presumed WRMI. This was on NE antenna,
and since then 15770 has had to substitute for it even tho totally
inappropriate propagationally at night, so will 15770 now be off or
reduced? Compared to 7780 on SW antenna, which is S9 with TOMBS. AND,
7570 on NW antenna with TOMBS, is OFF! The 7554-7584 range is occupied
by some kind of noise presumably ute not DRM, which 7570 normally
overrides. Lou Johnson, GA, posted to WRMI fb circa 23 UT Dec 16 that
7730 is back! with no further info or replies.
7730 is also audible Dec 17 at 1916 with gospel huxter, S7 into
Maryland SDR and // much stronger 15770, S7/S9+15. WRMI skedgrid shows
7730 as WRMI-1, 44 degrees to Europe at NO times 24h! While 15770 is
WRMI-9, also 44/Eu and scheduled 24/7. So what antenna is 7730 really
on now? There are about two dozen entries of 7730 in several program
skedgrids, never removed while imaginary. BTW the waterfall shows a
45-degree-angled ionosonde running upward, and I do hear it blip as it
crosses 15770 at 1928; and another at 1929, 1932 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** VANUATU. 7260, Dec 17 at 0720, S7/S9 music from RV still here, no
7890 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-oceanic JBA split MW carrier search, December 17
at 0732: besides 846 KIRITIMATI, q.v.: 855-two making slow beat about
1 Hz, likely Spain; 1098 slower beat about 32/minute = 0.53 Hz. At
this late hour I would assume one be 25 kW, V7AB, Marshall Islands;
other maybe RNE5 Spain of which there are four ranging 5 to 25 kW, if
not too late for 25 kW from Slovakia, where all MW is being turned
off. And there are numerous further 1098 TPs, including a megawatt
from somewhere in China. And one more JBAC on 1107, likely Spain, of
which there are five RNE5 ranging 10 to 25 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 88.1 FM, Dec 17 at 0224 UT, partial announcement in
Spanish ``escúchenos las 24 horas ... mejor compañía`` vs CCI from
maringal Okies KMSI & KWOU. Probably UStation rather than Mex. For the
first time this winter, checking for DX on the cold caradio, as DXMAP
showed Es FM DX between PA & AR an hour ago up to 100 MHz, and it
might have slipped into OK. But that`s all I get in bandscanning
bottom half of FM band continuously since 0213 when there was some
lite classical on 88.1 unexpected from either Okie: sked on KGOU/KWOU
at 8 pm Fri is `Snap Judgment` about storytelling:
https://www.kgou.org/show/snap-judgment - nothing else unusual but
some stupid ballgames with horrible modulation on 92.1, mentioning
Spencer, OK?; 93.5, Cougars, KS? Quit at 0235 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
