** TURKEY [and non]. 6125, Dec 19 at 0442, no signal direct from VOT, English to N America; propagation degraded but some other TA signals are showing on 49m, so presumed off, but not checked at UTwente. Something`s probably erroneous at Emirler.
5960.006, Dec 19 at 2340, VOT not off the air, S9+45 into UTwente, ``with-you-every-hour`` promo, song; 2353 the s/off with all-UTC-times-wrong: will anyone there ever notice and get rid of that recording? Something`s always awry at Ankara. 2355 IS; 2356 pause and restart IS now with German IDs interspersed but 2357* cutoff in time to prevent an entire spurious German hour, uncovering East Turkistan, PBS ``Xinjiang``, std. denunciation, where there was a second earthquake but news about that has been vague as to exactly where (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U K Q O G B A N I [and non]. 25900, Dec 19 at 1608 BBCWS about Sudan, with annoying musical background, via Woofferton, S9 fades to S5 but listenable direct, slightly better than // 21630, S8/S3 via ASCENSION. Of course both really intended for Africa as BBC does not recognize N America as a SW target area (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 13563 CW, Dec 19 at 1615 UT, HIFER beacon YSO, ID only repeating. JBA, a struggle to copy since 1613. It`s Yellow Springs OH. My only previous logs of YSO were November 6, 2021 at 1454, and October 19, 2021 at 1425, the first one with more info about operator James C Bailey, AJ8S. This time, K6FRC is also simulaudible slightly better on 13565 CW. I rarely hear anything* on the 13550-13570 ISM band except occasional K6FRC, but look at all the possibilities: https://www.lwca.net/sitepage/part15/index.htm *That is, except for 24/7 beepery around 13560, presumed local stores` RF ID stuff. Is this absolutely ubiquitous everywhere near a store? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2221 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday December 19 at 0350 the 0330 on WRMI 7780, S8/9+10 into Durango2 SDR. The self-promotional `best` Kiwi at Maurice LA has been AWOL lately. Also confirmed Tuesday December 19 at 1406 the 1400 on WRMI 9955, S9 direct.

Skedgrid transmitter schedule shows going from Fámily Radio in Spanish to TOMBS at 0800, but program sked below shows 9455 on red System F, at 0800 instead going to RAE in Japanese. Just one among many self-contradictory inconsistencies. Also, ignore the ``Effective`` dates on the color-coded skeds, which are never changed even when obviously just now updated. System F is dated Oct 31, 2022. Previous nights before 0800, 9455 had been overmodulated and splattering (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9955, Dec 19 at 1607, WRMI-3 still on with System E, TOMBS. Supposedly after 1600 only on Saturday Sabbathdays, but this is Tuesday. System E claims WRN on 9955 daily except Sat, 1600 until 1630 before going to internet only with more from WRN. Just one among many self-contradictory inconsistencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 3215, Dec 19 at 0436, WWCR-1 is S9+20/30 but again suptorted = modulation suppressed and distorted. Something`s not right at Nashville. `Call to Decision` again the scheduled program, due a refund? Or is it their fault?
