** ASCENSION. 12050, Jan 5 at 0724, African music S6/S9, the SSOB, R.
Ndarason International, targeting CHAD, in the Kanuri language, not
Kannada as many guess, which is spoken in India. Would be the OSOB,
except weakies on 12095 = also ASC with BBC French; and 11510 =
probably Turkish jammer and/or Dengê Gel, nothing else on 25m (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 346 MCW kHz, Jan 5 at 0733 UT, no signal from 1000-watt
YXL, Sioux Lookout ON, which had been my best Canabeacon - or
beaCanada?, nor for last few nights. Hope it`s just degraded northerly
propagation rather than decommissioned. RNA list shows it last logged
somewhere on Jan 1. Will keep seeking (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Jan 5 at 0719, R. Rebelde is OFF; had been mostly on
with weak signal. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. Nor any trace
of SIBC yet on 5020. BTW, the other domestic, R. Progreso has been
totally gone from 4765 for many weeks, but had been scheduled only
0130-0500 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 13830, Sun Jan 5 at 1612, algolang S8/S9, the only
extracontinental on 22m, between the only intracontinentals on 13820 &
13845. With trans-equatorial advantage, it`s Vatican Radio in Swahili,
317 degrees so also thisaway far beyond Africa East (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6849.92 AM, Jan 5 at 0228 rock music S9/+12, JBA vs
noise level. Many `6850` logs here until 0624* with playlists as
Liquid Radio:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Jan 5 at 1615, JBA carrier direct from REE to NAm,
while 12030 for ME is sufficient S9+15/25 and even 17715 for SAm is
S7/S9, and even 17755 for Africa is S5/S6 JBA, better than 9690. On
weekends the WHem frequencies start at *1500, a quadrihour earlier
than weekdays. But this is a prime example of frequency mismanagement;
should be on higher band this `early` in the day, 13, 15 or even 17
MHz to NAm. I cannot agree with page 44 of WRTH 2025, VOACAP
recommendation for most suitable frequencies, 9 or even 7 MHz band.
Despite multi-hour spans, REE tries to compromise with only one
frequency thruout. With A-season from Marchend will no doubt leap to
17855 again (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 335 MCW kHz, Jan 5 at 0731 UT, BV, 25-watt ND beacon at
BatesVille AR, which is NE of Little Rock between Cave City and Heber
Springs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
