** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Dec 3 at 1458, I`ve alarmed myself to be up in time for LRA36: not on yet at tune-in via Argentine remote, but cuts on at *1501 during song; 1503.5 standard canned announcement tantamount to sign-on with staff names, ``Nacional, la radio pública``.. 1504 themesong as I struggle to understand the lyrix but only part of them; 1508 scripted reading unusually by a M voice; 1511 song; 1514 ``Radio Arcángel San Gabriel`` ID, omitting ``Nacional`` but I guess that be insignificant? Then live YLs greeting, headed by Maria Eugenia, the 33rd program of the season. From now on, much of the talk is about the ``Mundial``, as the SS insist on calling the World Cup. Mundial is supposed to be an adjective, not a noun, and could apply to countless events. Can you imagine us in English calling it ``the World`` or ``the Worldwide`` without the ``Cup``?? MEGO but I attempt to keep listening.
Remember, this is a playback from Wed. Temp as 1 degree, wind chill minus 8, winds out of west at 37 kph. Sunrise at 2:30, penumbra. 1518.5 contact info; mentions México apparently as soccer opponent; 1523 song; 1525 ID, greetings to San Lorenzo; this is yerba maté day, extolling the healthy chemical ingredients of their national tea, consumed in 95% of Arg. homes; 1534 brief series of V in Morse, promo? music; 1539 ID and Día del Teatro, as first one was founded in 1783, and now there are over 300 in Buenos Aires; including cines? 1547 song, 1550 Esperanza Audaz ID; 1552 onward, long talk with M voice in studio, all about Mundial, MEGO again. 1638 chanting and clapping, song; 1640 staff list tantamount to sign-off, ``la radio hecha por mujeres``, ``Nacional, nos une`` and off at 1641*. Gary Pence in TX and someone in London UK were also on it via same remote (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** BRAZIL. 9664.343 variable, Dec 3 at 0748, RVM music S4/S7 and wobbling audibly as I try to measure it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 5040, Dec 3 at 0656, JBA carrier, at first thought Vanuatu, and another one at 0658 on 5020 which would be Solomons. I`m listening carefully to 5040 for it to cut off circa 0659 like Vanuatu, q.v., but not until 0700:49*! 10080, Dec 3 at 0656 already, RHC in English! here, S9/+10 but undermodulated, distorted, while there is nothing but a JBA carrier on what would be the fundamental 5040. Nothing on 11670 like OC late last night. Not listening continuously to 10080 but at 0702 it`s off, while 10050 is now on, S9 but JBM -- and now there is a JBA carrier on 5025, its fundamental. The fact that 10080 changed to 10050 while JBA carriers changed from 5040 to 5025 confirms that these are not Vanuatu, at least not tonight. I cannot emphasize strongly enough how extraordinary are these 5/10 MHz Cuban harmonix, not like ``normal`` ones which are always much weaker on the multiple than the original, unless unusual propagation factors intercede. This demonstrates that the doubles are not mere vestiges but the transmitter is axually tuned, deliberately or incompetently, to the second harmonix. Programming on 10050 presumably R. Rebelde, but not confirmed as S9 but JBM, still at 0743 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Dec 3 at 0754, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati and no other 9/kHz split TP or TA carriers audible in quick bandscan (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MALI. Posted to the WOR iog Dec 3 at 0606: [WOR] 5995 Radio Mali reactivated --- Mali is back, tnx for tip. Via Canary SDR, tune in at 0555 already on in Bambara? talk, 0557 music. 2022 WRTH nominal opening is 0555. VG S9 signal and modulation. 0600 song continues, no news on hour. 0602 French ID Radio Mali, cock crowings, back to non-French. 0605 more nice music. Usually well audible at this time direct, not yet checked. Should also be good for weekly news in English Saturday from 1850 or 1855. Glenn. Viz.: ``Sent: Saturday, December 3, 2022, 01:43:49 AM GMT+1 Radio Mali, luego de semanas fuera del aire, fue reportada nuevamente en la frecuencia de 5995 kHz. en francés hoy 2/22 de diciembre a las 22:00 UTC por mi amigo Antônio Ribeiro da Motta en São Luiz do Paraitinga SP Brasil. El video a continuación es de una transmisión en bambara a las 2300 UTC del 02 de diciembre/22 https://youtu.be/9jwlBBI3xLY -- Sérgio Dória Partamian Mairiporã -SP - Brasil`` Via Canary some QRM splash from 6005 BBC English very strong, scheduled 05-06 UT only via Ascension per Aoki, Vatican per EiBi and HFCC. At 0655 I check 5995 direct: S9/+10 with 6000 Cuba already off. From the California coast, Ron Howard reports hearing only ``KOREA SOUTH. Echo of Hope - VOH, Noted as early as 0601 UT, with the signature theme sound of foghorn, on 5995 kHz``. From Dec 5 that may shift to 5990 or 6000. Other reports: ``Via the NA5B SDR at Washington, just before 0800 UTC today, I heard Arabic music on 5995. Mali reactivated. Checked back at 5995 and Mali was off, matching listed 0800 sign-off. Harold Sellers, Vernon, BC`` ``Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain, Log in Friol, NW of Spain: MALI, 9635, Radio Mali, Bamako, 1714-1721, 03-12, African songs, Vernacular, comments. 35433``. At 1850 Sat Dec 3 I`m back on the Fuerteventura, Canarias SDR at 5995. Splash from music on 6000 requires LSB tuning, S3/S5: that would be NHK Japanese via France at 17-19. 5995 seems in French but by 1852 I recognize some English despite M`s heavy accent, ``Two thousand twenty-one``. CCI from music, self-imposed? makes it even worse. Alternates with W voice, just as unreadably accented. 1903 mentions ``next week``, apparently closing, music, French and more music with talk CCI, so that must be from Echo of Hope, S Korea running long hours but now a darkpath; or maybe the 24h? Studio Denakker in Holland per EiBi. NONE of these 5995s are in HFCC, not even Mali. Manuel Méndez, Spain, says it was `English Magazine` from 1851 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7255-, Dec 3 at 0656, no signal from VON. Gary Pence agrees, none either at 0734 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2167 monitoring: confirmed UT Saturday December 3 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, only, VG S9+20/10 direct. Also confirmed UT Saturday December 3 at 0500 on WBCQ R. Angela, 5130 minus 13 Hz = 5129.987, S6 into Maryland SDR, so only fair. The same degradation for preceding 0330 `Greek Music Refuge` and 0400 `FTIOM`. Also confirmed Saturday December 3 at 1700 on WRN N America webcast.

(6160-), UT Sat Dec 3 at 0100, monitoring WBCQ Area 51 webcast for `AAAWWW`: starts with a few seconds of the `Twilight Zone` theme -- can that be accidental? before morphing into `William Tell Overture`. Usual chat between AW & AW. He`s demonstrating the cough button at 0121 but doesn`t realize he`s left it on, so we can barely hear him for the next six minutes, picked up by her mic, altho he said the c.b. was supposed to mute all the mics in studio. At last, her voice is primary! At one point they can`t resist insulting all Democrats as Communists trying to do away with the Constitution and Freedom --- despite the fact that all Retrumplicans are Fascists trying to accomplish exactly that!!! Angela, a Canadian, makes the most extreme remarx, and Allan tries to moderate them slightly. 0137 finally datestamp as 2 of Dec YOOLF 2022. 0148 reading some Free Radio Weekly items just published. 0155 says WBCQ are looking to hire another engineer, as one was electrocuted and another is recovering from illness. Hard to qualify, as must know how to work on high power/high voltage SW transmitters (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** VANUATU. 7260, Dec 3 at 0656, no signal here from R. Vanuatu; currently on 5040 instead? JBA carrier there but think it`s exciter instead from CUBA, q.v. At 0701 nothing from RV harmonix either on 7890, 11835. Gary Pence, KM5X, agrees Dec 3 checking remotes: ``Glenn, I detected no Vanuatu on 3945 plus harmonics at 0734z.`` Dec 3 at 0912, Manuel Méndez says, ``VANUATU, 11835, not heard 0700-0900 last two days`` and Gary Pence agrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2023 UT December 3 _ 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/
