** CANADA [and non]. 1610 kHz, Jan 1, 2023 at 0223 UT, Spanish music
presumed CHHA Toronto, again with a het about 1610.65. This time it
appears to come from around my desktop not near the radio in another
room and even further from the LW antenna. IDs are sparse, but with
1610 reaching S9+10/20 at 0611, unusually I bring up the CHHA stream
and confirm it`s // a few seconds apart (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA [and non]. 14670 RC USB, Dec 31, 2022 at 2357, we choose to
greet the Universal New Year with CHU rather than WWV, heard past 0000
UT Jan 1, 2023; S9+10/20 here but still absent from 7850, very poor on
3330. At 0248 I notice what sounds like Cuban pulse jamming peaking
aboout 7835 and 7847, spurs? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, Dec 31, 2022 at 2257, S9/+10 of dead air or maybe JBM,
toward end of the nominal 2200 hour in English, but fracassed more
often than not. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, Jan 1, 2023 at 0810, only RHC still on and with weekly
Esperanto, S9/+10 but JBM under hum level. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** INDONESIA. 7290-, Jan 1, 2023, at 0807, JBA carrier presumed RRI
Nabire, even weaker than 7260 Vanuatu (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Jan 1, 2023 after 0700, no signal from R.
Kiribati, presumed off for another silent Sunday, and Gary Pence
agrees. Nor any other 9/kHz split carriers audible here (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** NETHERLANDS [non]. 5950, Sun Jan 1, 2023, The Mighty KBC at its new
time and station, WRMI relay. At 2201 it`s S9/+10 fading, hardly a
solid signal in mostly day-path from much closer transmitter than
ex-Germany 5960 over night-path at 00-02 Sundays. Direct reception
will improve during the bihour, but worsen from week to week thru
Summer Solstice as there is more and more light on the path NW from
FL. If stuck at same time competing with WBCQ musical programming,
should migrate to a higher band by A-23 if not sooner. Normally, WBCQ
could expect better reception but 7490 is still down leaving `Marion`s
Attic` on a substitute JBA 5130 carrier direct. Must get Maryland SDR
going to hear that at -52 Hz offset = 5129.948, S6/S7. By A-23 during
DST at earlied UT hour of 21, M`A on 7490 will again be unusable the
rest of season. Of course WBCQ ``7490`` webcast is still running with
5130 programming before R. Angela which is deliberately unwebbed;
while WRMI`s only stream is of 9955 programming (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6955 USB, Dec 31, 2022 immediately at 2326.8
tune-in, ``This is Outhouse Radio, without a doubt``, song, S7/S9,
still at 2355. Many more logs here and some SSTV captures of skull &
crossbones:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,107584.0.html

6925 USB, Dec 31, 2022 at 2355, hard rock at S7/S8 past 0000 UT
January 1, 2023. Many logs here as Sycko Radio:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,107590.0.html

Also a JBA AM carrier on 6965 at 2355, nothing listed or reported
currently in HFU.

6935 USB, Jan 1, 2023 at 0132, now the only pirate on band (OPOB) is
here with music, S9. Still at 0211; DJ yelling at 0217; off at next
check 0247.
Many reports here of Zeke, or Zekey:

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.001+, Sunday Jan 1, 2023, S9+30 into
UTwente, several chex during the 2300 English hour always hear Turkish
music, so wonder if non-English feed instead? No, 2354 finally s/off
in English claiming this has been the 1330 broadcast on 12035! and a
bit of IS, 2356 restarting but cut off before can start German IDs;
uncovering XJPBS. Something`s awry at Ankara (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2171 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
December 31 starting at 2032 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, S9+20 groundwave

Louisiana SDR.

** U S A. 5950, UT Sun Jan 1 from 0100, Texas R SW via WRMI with NY
show of TX mx; courtesy ID by different voices at each break including
one from yours truly at 0112.5. Then a couple of early singles by
Willie Nelson. DJ is a YL voice which Terry has assured is a real
person. Listened to most of the 2-hour show.

15 kHz is not far enough away from 5935 WWCR: at 0135, inevitable
splash from dead Gene Scott, who is S9+40/50 and much louder mod than
WRMI only S9+10/20 and with lower mod. Also QRM from other side, Cuban
jamming against no República on 5955. By 0155 WWCR has diminished a
bit to only S9+30/40 as undead Pastor Melissa Scott is speaking less
loudly; but now there is SAH fading on 5950 from another carrier, but
no co-channel modulation detectable. Nothing else in Aoki, while EiBi
has Ethiopia from 0255 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5130v, Jan 1, 2023 at 0251, WBCQ R. Angela, S8/9+10 last
part of Greek pirates show; 0300 NY special with excerpts of several
regular programs, some of which I have not caught on the complex
weekly-or-monthly schedule. At 0308 direct it`s S9/S8 with fades
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5950, Jan 1, 2023 at 0550, S9+10/20 of dead air from WRMI,
ditto at 0553, 0606 chex and still 0812 when I finally QRT. WRMI-8 is
scheduled to quit at 0500, except in System E TOMBS grid dated TWO
YEARS AGO as all night and all day. Must have been too busy
celebrating at Okee to remember to turn off the transmitter. I wonder
how many $ per hour of wasted electrical fluid that cost (Glenn Hauser
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5882 & 5898 approx., Jan 1, 2023 at 0814, spurious artefacts
out of 5890 WWCR transmitter of TOMBS. I think this results from
defective dirty audio feed out of Walterboro, which stations need to
filter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Jan 1, 2023 at 0807, R. Vanuatu JBA here (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5051, open carrier I am still hearing at various night
times as of Jan 1, but weaker than before. Art Delibert had replied on
Dec 29:
``FYI, the carrier on 5051 is already fading in here -- first noted at
a very weak level when I tuned in at about 2042, but growing stronger.
FWIW, it's strongest with the SAL-12 antenna pointed north, but that
may not mean anything -- it may just be the direction from which I've
got the lowest local noise (which is fierce this time of year b/c of
holiday lights). Regards, Art Delibert, North Bethesda, MD`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
