** CUBA. 11760, Dec 27 at 2312, no signal direct from RHC`s #1 legacy channel. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** EGYPT. 9900-, Dec 27 at 1851, S5/S8 of dead air or maybe trace of modulation, direct. R. Cairo sked 17-19 in Turkish, slightly on the low side. Something`s egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MADAGASCAR. 13670, Dec 27 at 1900, S9/+10 African song; MWV starting Arabic hour, following English at 1800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6930 USB, Dec 27 at 2320, S7/S9 music about = noise level. These take it as 77LJS, as one reported it ``sounds like`` that: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,123309.0.html Has the derivation of that name been explained? They say it was playing classical choral music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.005, Dec 27 at 2300, VOT English back on the air after AWOL yesterday, but insufficient direct. Via UTwente from 2334, S9+25/40 ending `Feeling Supreme/The Healing Spring`, music. 2338, ``always-by-your-side`` promo, `Gripping Piles` about sustainability. 2344 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo, music. 2353 canned s/off by the badax, totally wrong incomplete times and frequencies for expired A23. Those people are so out of it, clueless. If they can`t even utter their own sked accurately, why should we believe anything they say? Something`s always awry at Ankara. 2354 IS to 2355* uncovering Xinjiang PBS, std denunciation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U K Q O G B A N I [non]. 11825, Dec 27 at 2316, English discussion of Ukraine, including interview with former SOTH Nancy Pelosi; maybe year-in-reviewish. VG signal from BBCWS despite via USAGM Tinang, PHILIPPINES, westward for Indonesia, this hour only. I will refrain from remarking it`s a violation of SOCAS, despite UKetc. being a theocracy (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. Re: Justin Austin on VOA `Music Time in Africa` Dec 22: ``Merry Christmas and all that! You may have already checked, but this is indeed a young African American baritone. Check out http://www.justin-austin.com 73, Randy Stewart`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 17700, Dec 27 at 1855, S9+10/20 of open carrier; by 1900, VOA French has started, the SSOB by far, from Grimesland (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2222 monitoring: confirmed UT Wednesday December 27 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+20/25 into Missouri SDR. Missed checking Wed Dec 27 at 1500 on WRMI 9955, unsked but had appeared last 3 weeks; anyone hear it this week? Confirmed Wednesday December 27 at 2205 the 2200 on WBCQ 7490, S9/+15 into Maryland SDR displaying almost 7490.000 with slight variations. Is that possible? Rechecking WWV later vs calibrations, accurate with WBCQ only +3 to +8 Hz off, incredible! Perhaps a different transmitter or relayed elsewhere? Next: 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW 0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S 0230 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW Thanks this week for a generous quarterly check on the Winter Solstice, from Gerald T. Pollard, Raleigh NC, on a US bank to: Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 As noncommercial services, financial support appreciated, or via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9275, Wed Dec 27 at 1849, no signal from WMLK, supposedly sked 17-22 UT except SabbaSaturdays; what`s wrong? Prop OK from neighbor 9265 WINB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15610, Dec 27 at 1901 and next few minutes, no signal from WEWN English, supposed to start at 1900; what`s wrong? Prop OK as 15555 WJHR and 15825 WWCR are VG with sporadic-E boost. 12050 Spanish on as usual (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1360, Dec 27 at 1907, `Jingle Bells`, a secular carol! then ``Merry Christmas from the Catholic Radio Network``, for which it`s not over yet, then `I Saw Three Ships``. It`s KPHN, El Dorado KS with EWTN, address in KC,MO, ordinary groundwave. Would same be on 15610 now if WEWN were on?
