** CANADA. 353 MCW kHz, Dec 13 at 0744 UT, dash and PG: 25 watts at Portage-la-Prairie, Manitoba. Logged only once before, this year: ``353 MCW kHz, Feb 29 at 0734, dash and PG, 25 watt ND beacon from PortaGe-la-Prairie, Manitoba, new one for me; 944 miles so 37.76 miles per watt`` - this time not hearing the usual 353 occupant, LI in LIttle Rock (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA [and non]. 328 MCW kHz, Dec 13 at 0739 UT, dash and YTL: 1000 watt NDB at Big Trout Lake, Ont. Right next to regular 329 MCW, PMV, 25 watts at Plattsmouth NE (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. 11765, Fri Dec 13 at 1558, S9+20/30 of soft Chinese music and talk, 6-pip timesignal to 1600 and off* immediately. CNR1 Jammer against RFA Chinese via Kuwait, M/W/F 1500-1600, of which no sign. Aoki does not mark this hour as *jammed, unlike before 1500 vs Sound of Hope, but EiBi does (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15230, Dec 13 at 1555, S7/S8 of dead air, possibly Just Barely Modulated - the only sign of RHC lately, not even on 6000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KOREA SOUTH. 6155, Dec 13 at 0822, JBA carrier. EiBi listed is only KBSWR in Japanese at 0800-1000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 1670, Dec 13 at 2025 UT, on caradio at home some 2 miles away, I now have JBA music from presumed Virtual DJ Radio, too early for any skywave from any of the 5 NAm too far real X-banders. Local noise level still awful but may have abated slightly, and/or VDJR nudged power upabit. BTW, the connexion between 1670 and Mr. Jeff Pino is only circumstantial as he admits to having been a DJ and a member of that group (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 95.1, Dec 13 at 2027 UT on caradio at home, KQCV Shawnee, Bott is dominating rather than KOKJ-LP Enid. I drive toward downtown and KOKJ music slowly takes over. Then I drive 7 blox north to address of record, 701 N Grand, the decrepit building with a one-element antenna on a pole - and tnx to Greg Hardison, I don`t have to photograph it - and guess what, right across the street it`s NOT a solid signal, losing out to KICT/KQCV. Therefore I think the site is really closer to downtown, such as the otherwise vacant skyscraper Broadway Tower which already hosts some FM transmitters. No, FCC FM Query shows different coordinates for KKRD 91.1. Either way, the signal is not even solid to a 1-mile radius, so doubt it is even 100 watts. I have yet to hear any ID, legal or not, in random listening, even around hourtops. Most of my portables at home, scarcely a mile away, can`t get it, except one with very careful antenna angling (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** U S A. 314 MCW kHz, Dec 13 at 0737 UT, VC as best I can copy, but must be VTN, Valentine NE, as recently definitely logged (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

At least this show is a respite from relentless far-right nonsense, like RER. Show website makes you pick a state first rather than a frequency list. From NRC AM Log, I extract the C2CAM stations: 550: KFYI AZ, WDUN GA, WKRC OH, KCRS TX, WSAU WI 560: KBLU AZ, *KWTO MO, WVOC SC, KLVI TX, KPQ WA 570: WAAX AL, WSYR NY, WWNC NC, WKBN OH, *KLIF TX, KNRS UT 580: WGAC GA, KIDO ID, *WIBW KS, WTAG MA, WHP PA, CFRA ON 590: KCSJ CO, WKZO MI, KLBJ TX, KSUB UT, KQNT WA 600: KOGO CA, KCOL CO, *WMT IA, WREC TN, KTBB TX Well, that narrows it down. I * the usual ones (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 1510 kHz, Dec 13 at 2049 UT on caradio, surprised to find a loud & clear station here, with 913 AC ad for SalesKC.com - so it`s KCTE, 10 kW daytimer direxional thisaway from Independence MO, sports format; eventually back to talk of some sort, calling for fitness. Early winter skywave at highband - but I don`t find anything else unusual from the KC area, not even 1660, only JBA. Eventually KCTE fades down a bit (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 5995, Dec 13 at 0820, JBA music and nothing on 9635, so presumably R. Mali did not QSY at 0800. Or, after 0700, 5995 could be Echo of Hope, Korea South (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 9490, Dec 13 at 0824, open carrier rather strong. Only thing sked is Tibet, unlikely; like log of Nov 23, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 9985, Dec 13 at 0827, JBA music, likely CNR1 jammer vs Sound of Hope (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2151 UT December 13
