** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Wed Jan 4 at 1457-1539, never any
signal from LRA36 into Argentine remote. Perhaps in midsummer hiatus;
I may quit checking Wed & Sat. Maybe Manuel Méndez or someone can find
out their plans and/or monitor when already awake (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CHINA [and non]. 9455, Jan 4 at 1636, dominant Chinese vs music
from an understation and making SAH of 264/minute = 4.4 Hz, probably
CNR1 jammer vs WRMI, not a good share with USAGM drawing the jam
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 10080, Jan 4 at 0725, RHC Spanish S3/S6 but nothing on proper
fundamental 5040 of mistuned transmitter. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, Jan 4 at 0730, S9/+10 of dead air except for hum; 6165
S9/+10 DA and no hum. Should be final hour of English. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846, Jan 4 at 0732, JBA carrier the only 9/kHz split
detectable, surely R. Kiribati (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Jan 4 at 0722, VON S9/+10 but JBM (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 515 MCW kHz, Jan 4 at 0735 UT, PN, 25-watt NDB at PoNca
City, is OFF. Had been confirmed reliably whenever checked day or
night since Oct 11 after a few days off. Had had longer absences
before but eventually resumed. As of Jan 4, RG, 350, OKC still OFF;
SW, 255 StillWater and EI, 341 EnId, still ON. No change at daytime
1553 check Jan 4 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Jan 4 at 2305, token English Wednesday from REE at
S9+20/35 direct, yet steadier signal when at 2318 I switch to Maryland
SDR at S9/+20. Amy Egan with some interviews concerning the
``repopulation project``: it seems interior ``micro-towns`` are being
vacated by Spaniards urbanizing, so trying to encourage immigration
and refugees to restore them. First interviewee had moved into
Catalunya without speaking Castilian or Catalan. No competitipn from
absent English from Turkey today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Jan 4 at 0025 into UTwente, VOT overtime in
German is still running, but off before Portuguese at 0100, which has
occurred in the past; 5960, Jan 4 at 2300, no signal direct in
English; and UTwente checked at 2319, no signal there either, only
Chinese from East Turkistan, std denunciation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2171 monitoring: confirmed UT Wednesday
January 4 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, steady S9+22 VG into Missouri SDR.
Usual bit of extraneous music inserted between ID and WOR.

Also confirmed Wednesday January 4 at 2200 on WBCQ 5130 minus 17 Hz =
5129.983, S6/S8 into Maryland remote: still here instead of failed
7490 transmitter. Tuned in early, brief transmission break at 2157,
hope none further. Next:

0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

** U S A. 9955, Jan 4 at 1548 check, this WRMI is off already, as
usually the case altho last Friday it remained on past 1600 with WORLD
OF RADIO at 1530. I`ve asked Jeff whether we and other weekday
DX/Media programs stripped at 1530 might depend on that? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) See also see CHINA 9455

** U S A. 1360, Jan 4 at 0529-0531 UT, nothing direct from WNJC,
Washington Twp, NJ. It was reported to be running DX tests every night
for 30 days at 0500, until permanently? closing down. My first try for
it. Then I bring up a remote near DC in Maryland: still nothing among
the jumble. But at 0538 & 0548 I do detect some Morse code in the
jumble via SDR in Fair Hill MD; 0550 a continuous tone. Always too
much QRM for definite ID, but did make out an N sometime, and a J.
After DE the next letter did not seem to be a W. It would have been
more helpful to send little but the ID slowly over and over. But
surely this could have been nothing else. For a while the major signal
on 1360 was an ad for truckers. In NRC AM Log, WNJC shown as Spanish,
5000/800 watts, and direxional slightly CCW from southward. This is in
southern NJ, and there is another NJ on 1360 to the north, in Newton.

This was the notification: ``ARC mv-eko items 27 Dec --- WNJC 1360 AM
DX Tests will be going dark in about 30 days. Until then I will be
playing a DX test at Midnight EST every night, for 1 hour. This is the
Black Coffee DX Test that Les Rayburn created. Sad moment but after 25
years of working on WNJC it may be coming to an end. If the stars
align, I may get it back on the air with-in a year otherwise enjoy
this last chance to hear WNJC 1360 AM from Washington Township NJ
(Duke Hamann, WNJC 1360 AM DX Tests FB group 23.12.2022)``

I had heard it during a previous test July 5, 2021. Detailed reports
about that and by others in:

** U S A. Still have not found out if or when `StarDate` now be on
KUCO schedule, but confirmed Jan 4 at 1804 UT, so then at least M-F on
KANU:
https://kansaspublicradio.org/
altho too insignificant to appear on own schedule. May also air circa
1900 UT on ex-WOR affiliate KUWR in Wyoming, not checked yet (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Jan 4 at 0721, no signal from R. Vanuatu; but at
0723, JBA carrier on 7890 in HNL, nothing on 11835 and like last night
NZ 13755 is also JBA carrier, so RV must again be on 3945 + harmonix;
but what about Mongolia on 7260?

Confusingly confirmed thus: ``Manuel Méndez, Lugo, Spain: Vanuatu
today, 04-01 on 7260, heard from 0550 to 0659*, in parallel with
11835. At 0659 closed on 7260 and only heard in 11835.`` Any time of
7260 being // 11835 does not make sense if they have only one
transmitter which has to be on 3945 to produce 11835 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
