** CHINA. 11590, Sun Jan 19 at 1550, chanting in Chinese, S9+20/25 //
slightly stronger S9+20/30 on 11670. Both CNR1 jammers against RFA in
Chinese: per Eibi at 1500-1600 Sat/Sun only on 11590 via Kuwait; while
11670 is via Tinang, Philippines, daily at 1500-1600. Only jammers
audible here, not victims (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 5025, Jan 19 at 0707, R. Rebelde is on with music, S9+25/35
direct. The Other Side:
``Biden's Actions Spark Outrage, But Not Surprise --- President Joe
Biden did not squander his last chance to bolster Cuba’s totalitarian
mafia state.
Juan Antonio Blanco, Miami 15 Ene 2025 - 19:40 CET
President Joe Biden did not squander his last chance to bolster Cuba’s
totalitarian mafia state. Flouting the opinions of members of both
U.S. parties and the communities of Cuban and Venezuelan exiles, he
once again pressured the leaders of various security agencies to
implement his decision.
It is always "possible to do more," as Fidel Castro liked to say.
Indeed, it is always possible to stoop lower: the US president struck
Cuba from the list of State Supporters of Terrorism, and adopted other
last-minute, highly sensitive measures, in collusion with the regime
in Havana, and carried out in the dark a premeditated and malicious
manner.
After this outrageous decision - not only undermining the interests of
Cubans, but of Americans themselves - it is hard to imagine what else
the magician in the White House might pull out of his time-worn hat
before he stepping off the stage for good.
Why is this decision indescribably vile?...``

** U S A. 9955, Jan 19 at 1554, weak beepery on WRMI, `SW Radiogram`
as sked at 1530 on WRMI-3. Could not make out any voice announcement
at end, 1600 into TOMBS. Transmitter skedgrid claims #3 at 1600-1700
with TOMBS on 9955 Saturday only, but this is Sunday. System E sked
shows 9955 `weekends only` at 1500-1600, not after 1600. System B sked
shows 9955 with WRN Sundays only at 1600, cut to internet only at
1630: just more self-contradixions by WRMI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9330, Jan 19 at 1553, no signal direct from WLCR on WBCQ;
what`s wrong? Also zilch into UTwente at 1627, Maryland SDR at 1628.
Back on by 1937 check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VATICAN. 15565, Jan 19 at 1544, VR in Amharic, once again with
incredibly strong signal, S9+20/30 supposedly aimed oppositely. Only
other comparable sig on band is 15150 WMLK, the SSOBs. If anything in
Europe were aiming for N America it should be even bigger, but how
about simulsigs from Europe aimed anywhere on 19m?
13830, Jan 19 at 1546, //15565 in Amharic, almost as strong, S9+15/25
direct and the only significant extracontinental signal on this band.
But 13830 switches to Madagascar relay at 1600 for Swahili (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11529.9, Jan 19 at 1547, S6 JBA music, probably from
Hikari FM, NAm pirate, and seems to be another signal near 11530, such
as Dengê Gel or Turkish jammer (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIALS
Hello Glenn, I wanted to express my gratitude towards your work on
World of Radio. This is not the first time I have donated to you, but
in these times when stations and transmitter centers close down for
good, I feel that you keep this DXing community informed. I truly hope
you are able (and willing) to continue in 2025, and maybe, by some
game of destiny, you can reach WOR #3000. Thanks for all the effort,
and I wish you the best. I hope you have enjoyed the holiday season.
Much appreciated, Moises Corilloclla, Rego Park, NY
