** CANADA. 15034 USB, Dec 18 at 1550, Trenton Military, ID citing time
as ``1450 zulu`` - a sesquimonth after DST, they`re still stuck an
hour off! Robovoice cannot notice the contradixion, then correctly
citing time of a reading somewhere as 1500. Certainly hope in matters
of life & death, Canadian Forces can be more accurate. As always, some
reports received, others ``no report received``. Since all times are
always Zulu, local DST changes should be irrelevant and ignored! with
no effect on announced times (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHILE. 28460 USB, Dec 18 at 2314, CE8MGZ calling QRZ, CQ in
English. QRZ.com: ``CE8MGZ Chile flag Chile, WALTER CESAR MARAMBIO
GARCIA, avenida mirador #5153 ciudad los llanos 2 las compañías altas,
CIUDAD : La serena. 4 región, CP 1700000, Chile`` - also another CE
heard and from JAPAN, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. 9660, Dec 18 at 1556, S7/S8 soft Chinese song belies the
nefarious purpose of this, CNR1 jamming from Kunming site vs Sound of
Hope. I notice both EiBi & Aoki now show transmitter sites of many
jammers; how do they know? Well, this is registered in HFCC as if
normal non-jammer. Of course hundreds of SOH frequencies are never in
HFCC. OTOH, WOOB jamming such as just below 19, 16, 15, 13 and 11 MHz
are never registered. I guess HFCC puts up with this since something
from China is better than nothing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** JAPAN. 28420 USB, Dec 18 at 2307, JE1RXJ, Tokyo, beaming toward and
working N Americans in English. QRZ.com: ``JE1RXJ Japan flag Japan,
Takeshi "Tack" Goto, 15-11 Saiwai-cho, Hiratsuka-City,kanagawa
254-0804, Japan``
28435 USB, Dec 18 at 2311, JA1UTQ in Spanish calling CQ DX South
America. QRZ.com: ``JA1UTQ Japan flag Japan, KATSUMI HAGIWARA, 2-191-2

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1670, Dec 18 circa 2045 UT, Virtual DJ Radio,
Enid, much stronger than before, even reaching downtown Enid now from
its source circa the junxion of US 81 and US 412, continuous rock
music. 2259 now even audible at home but CCI from skywave talk, either
WOZN WI or WMGE GA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 95.1, Dec 18 circa 2030 UT, pirate still going with local
quality reception only in downtown Enid, Xmasmx, so wonder if it be a
``holiday-special`` only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Dec 18 at 2258 direct, S9+20/30, also 12030
S9/+10, 17715 S9/+10, 17755 JBA S8/S9 = noise level. 2300 token
English from SNR; preview topic about mental health at the workplace.
2301 news leads with Israel/Hamas ceasefire closer? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** TURKEY. 5960.004-, Dec 18 at 2257, VOT not off the air, S9/+10
direct. 2329 into UTwente when measured, S9+30/40 but usual 6CI and
rhumble, with Efsun about algo, outro as `Unexpected Twists of Fate`,
2331 music. 2336 `The Middle East and Turkey`, visit of Turkish
intelligence official to Syria: Damascus was once an Ottoman province.
2342 `Sports Panorama` with Efsun again. 2352 she also provides
headlines, 2353 s/off, three or four notes of IS before chopoff 2354*,
no finesse. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler, uncovering
Chinese (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU [non]. 9960, Dec 18 at 1557, S5/S7 JBA talk. Per EiBi it`s
VOA Burmese via PHILIPPINES at 1430-1630. Yet Aoki shows nothing but
RV on 9960 altho not on this hour. Ron Howard reported all known
frequencies OFF:
``Random monitoring since Dec 17, from 0355+ UT, has found Radio
Vanuatu silent on 2485, 3945, 5040, 7260 and 9960, through 0500 UT, on

UNIDENTIFIED. 1476 kHz, Dec 18 at 0434, JBA carrier, soon blocked by
start of some local noiseblob. The only 9/kHz carrier audible in
complete MW bandscan. Surely it`s TWR Benin, which starts at 0419, so
I have been checking for it often. I guess right now higher-latitude
paths from Europe are attenuated. Per mwlist, it`s 150 or 200 kW, but
with outdated sked; the only possible competition powerwise would be
200 kW from UAE (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7535.5 USB, Dec 18 at 0737, JBA 2-way in Spanish (Glenn
