** 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

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.

** U S A. (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)
