** CUBA. 9700, Dec 14 at 0243, VP signal but seems to be RHC back here since it sounds same as 6000 English, and there is nothing on 6165 where it resounded last night; nor 6145. May it stay away from 6160; except when TOMBS is on that, most of the time. Something`s sometimes right at RHC. 0736 recheck, all RHCs are off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 9710, Dec 14 at 2213, RHC Spanish S9+20/30 but distorted. Something`s always wrong at RHC. 11850, Dec 14 at 2220, RHC Spanish S9+20 but trace of distorted modulation, and parasitic spur JBA on 11840, while its twin on 11860 is still blocked by R Martí which is also atop jamming. SAWA. 11760, Dec 14 at 2220, RHC Spanish with hum, S9 and dead air. SAWA. 11880, Dec 14 at 2221, RHC English succeeds with broad weather report, temps from the Chief Meteorologist (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** EGYPT. 9899.6, Dec 14 at 2212, R. Cairo is on at S8-S9 direct but only a trace of modulation presumably English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KASHMIR [non]. 15170, Tue Dec 14 after 1600, quick check of UTwente reconfirms that Kashmir Civitas via Romania is still gone (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KOREA SOUTH [non]. 9870 & 9780, Dec 15 at 0100, no signal from KBS World Radio Spanish via Greenville, which they had publicized as a test on 9780, Dec 12 & 13, only? for better reception than 11880. But Ivo Ivanov and Wolfgang Bueschel say 9870 was the frequency per HFCC. Now I`m not hearing more than a JBA carrier on 11880 so a descent is indeed called for, maybe even lower (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NICARAGUA. 8989-USB, Dec 14 at 2218, JBA trace of talk, presumably the pescador preacher circumNic. Seldom hear anything when bandscanning around this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6924.9 AM, S4-S5 and 6920.0 AM, S5-S6, Dec 14 at 2228 both with JBA pirate music. This pair are very active, almost every evening? But always too weak here. Latest HFU logs show: Radio Pushka 6920: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,90288.0.html unID on 6924.8 but lately has been Coastal Rock Radio: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,90284.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 8992-USB, Dec 14 at 2217, cryptic EAN alfanumeric message with self-imposed whine and reverb; quickly finding the same on 15016-USB and 4724-USB. EiBi calls these US Air Force Messages, also on a fourth channel 11175, all 24 hours, and SSB never specified (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2116 monitoring: confirmed Tue Dec 14 at 2330 on WRMI 9955, S9+10/20 direct, but fading down to S3-S7 by 2348 and gone before 2400. Next: 1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW 2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW, 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts: http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support.

Obviously timed for daytime Europe, not N America. That late, maybe 5800 WRMI will not be a problem over there; and maybe we could hear 7700 over here, while 6185 signal if any would be blocked by Mexico (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9330, Dec 14 at 2216, zero signal from Flatearthic Worlds Last Chance Radio via WBCQ, crashed again and no exciter on 9333 either. Not a prop problem since neighbor 9265V WINB is still S9+10/20 with TOMBS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 6115, Dec 14 at 2227, WWCR-1 is still inoperable here but instead I hear some RTTY centred about 6114, INTRUDING (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 9381.70-USB, Dec 14 at 2215, colloquial Spanish 2-way, cambio (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0156 UT December 15 _ Hard-Core-DX mailing list Hard-Core-DX@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/hard-core-dx http://www.hard-core-dx.com/
