** BRAZIL. 4925, Dec 15 at 0021, JBA talk at S8 vs noise level of S9.
Presumably the only known station on frequency, Rádio Educação Rural,
Tefé, Amazonas; not anything from Asia as first suspected (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 4875+, Dec 15 at 0144, Brazuguese talk and music, S8-S9,
very slightly on plus side, i.e. Rdif. Roraima, Boa Vista (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CANADA. 317 kHz, Dec 15 at 0226, dash and VC, 1000-watt ND beacon
at La Ronge, Saskatchewan. 326 kHz, Dec 15 at 0230 UT, dash and VV, 133-watt NDB at Wiarton,
Ontario, which http://www.dxinfocentre.com/ndb.htm says is among those
to be decommissioned 2020-03-26. I was tuned to 325 USB. When tuned to
326 instead hearing AAA, supposed to be on 329; see U S A (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CHINA. 7293-7294, Dec 15 at 1545, FMish spurblob with Chinese
mixture // 7300-AM, which is a CNR1 jammer vs RTI frequency. No match
on the opposite side. Not to be confused with the Vietnam +8 kHz spur
from 7285 which finishes at 1330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST) ** CHINA. 7335, Dec 15 at 1907, Chinese music, not Firedragon, S6-S7.
Scheduled is CRI Portuguese via Jinhua site; i.e. nothing but music
fill for months, probably same as heard after 2300 on 6100, 13650 via
Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 5025, Dec 15 at 0020, R. Rebelde, S9+10 of dead air; and
still so at 0246 recheck. Is no one paying attention at the studio or
transmitter? Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. 5820, Dec 15 at 0242, JBA carrier where nothing is listed,
can`t pull any audio, but I recently computed this as a potential
leapfrog mixing product at Quivicán/Titán, 6180 CRI Chinese relay over
6000 RHC English, another 180 kHz below. Harold Frodge, MI DXpedition, has also reported: ``UNKNOWNISTAN: 5820,
0128, 12/7; EE feature on the world economy, socialism vs capitalism &
mentioned Cuba. Co-ch SS QRM, not //6060 RHC. Nothing in EiBi or Aoki
(Frodge-DXP)`` RHC English could include Spanish bits. 5820 should contain the following: 01-02 CRI English & RHC English;
02-03 CRI Chinese & RHC English. Coincidentally two other frequencies
could also leap to 5820, 6000 & 5910, another 90 kHz down: 03-04 CRI
English & RHC English; 03-04 CRI Cantonese & RHC English. Reverse
leaps would be 6360 then 6090 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST) ** SINGAPORE. 7355, Dec 15 at 1544, BBC Korean is S9+20, carrying on
very well far beyond the target from Kranji; no jamming audible,
scheduled 1530-1830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Sat Dec 14 at 2330, checking VOT via
UTwente SDR, `Turkish Cuisine` recipe show, VG signal but with
considerable LAH, i.e. from PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi, in Chinese, which is
always off-frequency-minus; Aoki says it starts at 2310. Its LAH even
more of a problem an hour later against the weekly Mighty Farty KBC
via Germany; but neither bothered much over here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) ** U K [non]. 7445, Dec 15 at 1910, BBCWS in English about Algeria,
Mali, S8-S9 this early via MADAGASCAR, scheduled 15-20, 250 kW at 315
degrees inadvertently also USward. Some collisions, such as IRAN also
in English at 1520-1620, but that may be about to self-destruct (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 326? kHz, Dec 15 at 0727, ND beacon ID as AAA; only such
call listed is supposed to be on 329 kHz, 25 watts from Lincoln IL =
`Abraham Lincoln`. Not unusual to tune something 1 kHz off, but 3? The
town of Lincoln is on I-55 NE of Springfield, halfway to Bloomington
IL. When tuned to 325, I heard VV in Ontario, listed as 326; see
CANADA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 13565-CW, Dec 15 at 1454, K6FRC HIFER beacon from Patterson
CA is JBA, but usually no trace whenever checked, tuning by. I only
hear it around this time of day (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2012 monitoring: confirmed UT Sun Dec 15 at

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5085 and spur carriers 5072+, 5088-, Sat Dec 14 at 0128,
theatre organ while a few minutes earlier it was still ham stuff, so
must have just variably started on WTWW-2. Xmasmx with comments from
Bob Heil; lasts until 0157 when closing he remarx, `from our new
studio in Belleville, Illinois``. But is this really new or an
evergreen show? Is he still calling it `Theater Organ in the Ozarx`?
No doubt about Springfield MO area, but Belleville would really be
pushing beyond Ozarx. I soon had switched to $ tereo webcast which
has a new URL:
http://wtww.us/pages/listen-live/tx2.php
but don`t click on any link on that page or you`ll lose it
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Dec 15 at
0256-0300: 531, 558, 576, 675, 684, 693, 711(stronger), 738, 747,
774(2), 837(2), 882, 909, 999(2), 1008, 1017, 1026, 1053, 1062, 1089,
1179, 1215, 1431 kHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 1520.7 approx., Dec 15 at 1912 UT, het upon KOKC; not
SAUDI ARABIA which would be exactly 1521.00, and probably KRHW
Sikeston MO previously off-frequency. Would be nice if someone nearby
or elsewhere in mid-America would measure what`s off. BTW, after Saudi closes at 2230*, DXers in NE America have been
getting on 1521 the 500 kW CRI relay in EAST TURKISTAN, land of Uighur
brainwashing by the ChiCom (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 7290, Dec 15 at 1906, JBA carrier this early, probably
IRRS via Romania(?). May be able to detect WOR direct until 1930 on
Dec 16 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 7475, Dec 15 at 0740, open carrier; also noted a few
hours earlier when looking for YHWH. Also at 1542 when OC is S9+10,
still at 1553, 1623, with some light clicking once per second. Maybe
it`s a ute in this shared band? Nothing heard from RFE/RL in Tajik via
Thailand scheduled at 1400-1700, and nothing is listed earlier. 7475, Dec 15 at 1910, carrier with trace of mod? Should now be Radio
Thailand`s English hour direct to Europe (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 1955 UT December 15
