** CANADA. 335-MCW kHz, Dec 18 at 0731, dash and YLD, 1000-watt NDB at
Chapleau, Ontario; would rather hear YUT in Repulse Bay, Nunavut
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) See also USA [and non]
** CANADA. 990, Dec 18 at 1451 UT, discussion of vaccine distribution
delays in Ontario, with Canuckcent, obviously CBW Winnipeg MB, nice to
hear this long after sunrise, but shortly fading out. At night it all
depends on how much auroral there be, whether this or XET dominate, or
something between like KWAM Memphis (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, Dec 17 at 0727, no signal from the extremely
unreliable VON; maybe switched to 9690- instead? There is a JBA
carrier and nothing else scheduled, but unseems mandatory offset minus
as to be expected (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** ROMANIA [and non]. 7345, Dec 17 at 0721, something in German is
getting jammed, adding up to S9; yes, soon 0723 ID RRI as scheduled.
The Cuban jamming is slightly excessive because of DRM Radio Martí
only until 0200 with a negligible audience in Cuba. When will innocent
bystations ever learn to avoid any frequency ever jammed by Cuba, past
or present, any time of day? Or employ diplomatic pressure against
Cuba; but those Commies have no respect for Romanian ex-Commies (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 428-MCW kHz, Dec 18 at 0725 UT, NDB POH, which is 25 watts
from Pocahontas, Arkansas. Not always audible, but this is the top
frequency for such in the conterminous (an Alaskan on 429). I have
searched three websites for why it`s named Pocahontas with no
explanations, but presumably inspired by that Virgindian (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. 332-MCW kHz, Dec 18 at 0732 UT, again trying to
unravel the NDB pileup here. In addition to IC, Wichita KS, another
one at almost same period which means they are meshing. I copy it as
NIS, but nonesuch listed; closest is FIS, Key West FL - Fish Hook.
Maybe ..-. for F is losing the first two dits or overlain with the I
of IC, making the first letter sound like an N instead of an F? All
this under stronger dash and what I copy as YT, which is also
confusing as there is no YT listed, rather YTE in Nunavut, also XT and
VT Canadians in BC and SK, but should really be QT in Thunder Bay ON

here; 5010 VP S5-S7 here, fair at Brasília SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) ** U S A. 5950, Dec 18 at 1803 UT, JBA carrier from WRMI which runs 24
hours here. At low noon around the midpoint, I thought it might be
readable if one cared to listen to BS; since the upgrade and change to
355 azimuth, it does hold up better post-sunrise and pre-sunset, and
is even usable at night unlike before, tough luck for Ethiopia, et al.
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1210, Dec 18 at 1443 UT, more than hour after sunrise here,
keeps referring to Huron - not the lake but the city in South Dakota:
ad for The Daily Plainsman newspaper --- oooh, I`m a Plainsman as an
EHS grad; show is `The Morning Mess`. Not sure of last word, as in a
meal? It`s KOKK, one of a local group at
https://www.performance-radio.com/
--- and is there a plainsman old program schedule? Of course not! Is
U4 5000/870 watts; day pattern favors SE, night pattern NW. Official
sunrise in Dec & Jan is 1400 UT. This is dominating on my E-W longwire
rather than KGYN Guymon OK almost due west, still at 1453 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1050-, Dec 18 at 1447 UT, obits sponsored by multi-city
funeral home, Pipestone and Sioux Falls SD; AC 507 ads. It`s KLOH
Pipestone MN, U4 9380/432 watts - how`s that for precision? Pipestone
is in the SW corner of MN, so not far from the much larger SxF SD. Day
pattern sports equal lobes to NNE and SW, favoring SxF and us, even on
my E-W longwire. At 1455, a LAH - low audible het appears to be caused
by this one about 15 Hz low beating against one or both OK 1050
groundwavers. However, mwoffsets put it on the plus side:
``1050.0097 USA KLOH (Pipestone, MN) 2019-08-07``
and only one station more than minus 10:
``1049.9798 USA WLIP (Kenosha, WI) [range: -1049.9995] 2019-08-07``
There is also a heavy 248/minute = 4.13 Hz SAH.
The OKies are not listed, but here`s a nearie plus 3.6 Hz:
``1050.0036 USA KSIS (Sedalia, MO) 2018-01-23``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 12174.7-USB, Dec 18 at 1526, JBA 2-way in colloquial
Spanish, sounds borracho (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 13065, Dec 17 at 1402, open carrier amid fruitless
search for CNR1 jammers, but immediately 1403 replaced by wideband OTH
radar covering 13053-13075 approx. Russia? Evidently it homes in with
an AM carrier before turning on the noise (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 15330-USB, Dec 18 at 1523, 2-way in colloquial Spanish
JBA; not a problem for AFRTS which abandoned this AM from Bethany
sesquidecades ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) TIPS FOR RATIONAL LIVING
