** CANADA. 2749-USB, Dec 21 at 2317 UT, Coast Guard marine weather,
like températures, by French roboyl, S7 vs S5-S6 noise level, earlier
than usually heard. And same also on 2598-USB // but about one second
ahead of 2749, as checked on second receiver. At 2327 a `securité`
item. Per dxinfocentre.com [not .ca], both just started at 2317:
2598 2317 VBQ-22 NATASHQUAN (ESCOUMINS) FF/EE 600 50 09 06, -61 47 42
2749 2317 VCN ESCOUMINS FF/EE 600 47 21 28, -61 55 30
VCN is in the Îles de la Madeleine/Magdalen Islands; VBQ-22 almost due
north on Québec mainland, 600 watts each. Most of the 2598s are in NL,
further and weaker than the 2749s (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MEXICO. 540-, Dec 22 at 0137, ``Jingle Bell Rock``, in English from
dominant station on caradio with fast SAH; then a carol in Spanish.
Fits for XEWA, SLP2, in mwoffsets as 539.973 kHz (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. Our annual tour of Enid Xmas sound and light shows UT
December 22, 0100-0200+. The ``singing Xmas trees`` were not deployed
this year in the oil well lot on the NE corner of Oak and Oakwood,
darkness, and on 89.5, silence. The residence in the Pheasant Run addition on the west edge of Enid is
doing it again, on 94.9 MHz, with 97.7 usurped by a non-Part 15. More impressive is one transmitting on 87.9 in the lakeside addition
of NW Enid right across Purdue from 960 KGWA site. Must be really
low-power Part 15, as not full quieting parked right across its
street; and the sign showing the frequency is poorly visible. Rest of
the neighborhood is not lit up as much as previous years, wonder why?
This one is at 3815 Rockwood, very elaborate flashing lights
coördinated with music and a separate video loop of Santa and elf
activities in a window. As long as we linger at either locale, nary a
sacred carol to be heard, just secular/rock/funny songs, nothing more
traditional than `Carol of the Bells` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960, Dec 21 at 2310, no sign from VOT English to N
America; something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2065 monitoring: confirmed Monday
December 21 from 1900.7 on IRRS, 7290 via Bulgaria, via UTwente, good
signal but always inevitable splash from 7280 Vietnam and 7295 East
Turkistan, the latter already on at 1857 with CRI Chinese language
lesson for English buffer. Tuned in at 1856.5 to open carrier, some
hum and splash; 1859.9 IRRS ID, 1900.5 FSN headlines, then WOR. Before
end trying Carlow, Eire Kiwi where there is less splash from 7295 but
still plenty from 7280. Chopped off at 1929.7 before I can finish
saying ``with a stan[dard disclaimer]``. Note: it still applies
whether or not I am allowed to utter it completely. Confirmed UT Tuesday Dec 22 at 0120 the 0100 on WRMI 7780, fair on
caradio as we are out viewing Xmas lites and sounds. Not confirmed UT Tue Dec 22 at 0330 on WRMI 5800 tho VG via Bonaire.
At 0329 one episode of `Freedom Synergy Radio` ends and another
starts, the pro-Taiwan, anti-Chicom show which seems to have been
revived, not only at this time. System H sked still shows `Wavescan`
at 0300 and WOR at 0330. Next: 2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
2300 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE [to be pre-empted! for two weeks] Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts:

thanks this week to Doug Brown, London, Ontario who sent a generous
check in US$ on a US bank to

otherwise been a dark year full of bad news`` One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to:
woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 900, Dec 22 at 0135 UT, on caradio, dead air above any
other modulation; could it be XEW? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 2580, Dec 21 at 2319 UT, JBA carrier, possibly a second
harmonic of 1290 or third of 860. I often tune the entire 2 MHz band
hunting harmonix, ignoring numerous birdies which land on odd split
channels, but MW harmonix are sparse; used to get a few Latin
Americans as well as Unitedstatesians. The ambient noise level around
here may be obscuring them, even worse tnx to Xmas. I urge those in
quieter locations to seek them, as otherwise propagationally and
lightningly this is peak time of year for 2 MHz DX (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 5785.8 & 5908.0, Dec 21 at 2311, similar level open
carriers which do not seem to be birdies. Nothing midway between them
at 5846.4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0540 UT December 22
