** CUBA [and non]. 870, Dec 20 at 0444 and 0709 chex, wobbler QRM vs WWL, but not overcoming; and not heard on 1040 this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** EGYPT. 9439.853+, Dec 20 at 2131, R. Cairo not off the air, S9+30 into UTwente, YL talk but of course extremely distorted, seems like English intonation as scheduled. Something`s always awful at Abis (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** PUERTO RICO [and non]. 391 MCW kHz, Dec 20 at 0725 UT, DDP, ND beacon is JBA. Always nice to get this one; only wish there were more from Latin America - even on air any more? I go thru the complete RNA list arranged by ITU country, https://rxx.classaxe.com/en/rna/signals and pick out a few still last reported this year, mostly in Nov or Dec, frequencies meriting intense attention especially during `auroral` conditions: 235 PJE, St Eustatius 305 BNE, St Lucia 323 TAB, Trinidad & Tobago 327 FXC, Cayenne, Guiana French 330 UAM, Stgo de Cuba 385 PTP, Guadeloupe 415 SLU, St Lucia There are also a number in Brasil = 7 reported in 2024; Ecuador, 6 reported this year but I omit as too far; and at the end starting with X, somewhere in International Waters or unID. Colombia & Venezuela had two each, no longer heard (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 293 MCW kHz, Dec 20 at 0713 UT, only ID copiable is FBY, FairBurY, Nebraska, but tuning 292 USB I can tell there is a second carrier beating from a slightly different frequency. Most likely UI, qUIncy IL, as definitely logged elsewhen. RNA does not show exact carrier frequencies, but LSB and USB offsets: FBY 1028/1005, UI 1026/1023 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].

Unclear why something would have an advantage here. MWlist shows Talksport UK 150 kW plus several lower-power synchros still exist; 20+5 kW from COPE Spain; 400 kW from Romania (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 2140 UT December 20
