** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Wed Dec 14 at 1455 tune-in via
Argentine remote, LRA36 already on with song, only S6 so not enough to
overcome noise level. 1501 standard canned sign/on, multi-lingual
advisory, staff names, ``Nacional, la radio pública``; 1502.5 theme
song; 1506 recitation with musical background; 1507.7 song; 1511.7 ID
ending with ``su compañía`` and start live YLs chatting led by María
Eugenia, as programa #35; 1519 strength surges briefly to S7/S8; 1526
contact info; 1527.7 song; 1530.4 ID with `Nacional, nos une``,
this-week-in-history starring with 12 diciembre. I have to quit now
for an appointment, but did not miss much as Gary Pence says it
dropped off sometime between 1532 and 1545.

Here`s info about the 2022 and 2023 seasons, including full names of
the four women now and then; from Radio Magazine, on FB originally in
French, into Spanish via Juan I. Gutiérrez, AER Foro DX, a lot better
than a machine-translated English version:

``ANTÁRTIDA: LRA 36 Radio Nacional Arcángel Gabriel, la emisora ​​más
austral del mundo es la única emisora ​​estatal que transmite desde la
Antártida en onda corta. Características que, sumadas a que se trata
de una estación de Estado operada por personal militar del Comando
Conjunto Antártico, la hacen única frente a otras radios.

Por segundo año, Radio Nacional LRA 36 estará dirigida por un equipo
profesional y técnico integrado exclusivamente por mujeres. Así lo
anunció el Ministro de Defensa el pasado 7 de diciembre: El acto contó
con la presencia de la Presidenta de Radio y Televisión Argentina,
Rosario Lufrano, el Comandante del Grupo Antártico, Brigadier General
Edgar Fernando Calandín, Adrián Korol, director de Radio Argentina en
el Exterior, y Malvinas, Antártida y Atlántico Sur Secretario del
Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores, Guillermo Carmona.

El nuevo equipo tomará el relevo de Romina Zabalza, María Eugenia
Rodríguez, Claudia Beatriz Albarracín y Mariela Churquina, quienes ya
llevan un año en el cargo.

Además del servicio de FM local, LRA 36 Radio Nacional Arcángel
Gabriel tiene alcance internacional a través de onda corta. El
objetivo de su programación es difundir la cultura argentina, pero
sobre todo el trabajo de las Fuerzas Armadas en las bases antárticas,
la labor de investigación científica y, fundamentalmente, el apoyo a
la histórica reivindicación de soberanía del territorio antártico.

La Estación Base Esperanza reflejará en su nueva parrilla el contenido
cultural y científico argentino y, en particular, las actividades que
se desarrollan en la Antártida.

La emisora ​​tendrá, en enero, la matinal de Panorama Nacional de
Noticias, a cargo del periodista Marcelo Ayala y su grupo de
producción estará integrado por Lorena del Carmen Alvarado, María
Victoria Menéndez, Noemí del Valle Cisneros, Ariadna Verónica Berrardo
y Adriana Novakoski y la técnica de operación del cabo primero de la
marina Nicole Valdebenito.

Puede escuchar la radio en 15476 kHz y confirma informes de escucha
por QSL. LRA36 Arcángel Gabriel, Base Esperanza, Antártida, Argentina
o lra36nacional@gmail.com`` By postal be sure to include code 9411

** ARGENTINA [non]. Re my last report copying the RAE in English times
on the WRMI skedgrid, Harold Sellers replies quite differently:

``According to my recent monitoring I believe RAE’s English
programming is carried by WRMI as below.
0200-0230 5800 Th, 5850 Mo & We, 9395 Tu & Fr
0500-0600 Th 7780
2330-2400 We 7570

** CANADA. 750, Dec 14 at 0726, CKJH liner between rock songs, exactly
like last night, never with call letters, but beachradiosk.ca Chuckle.
Second of two nights WSB off for maintenance. Melfort appears to be
the dominant signal all over USA. There are no other US powerhouses at
night except 20 kW Portland OR, but it`s cardioid into Pacific, deep
null eastward. Well, also 50/50 kW ND KFQD Anchorage, which might have
a chance were it not for CKJH. The Spanish I heard last night was
probably R. Progreso, Cuba. Others I have heard before: KAMA El Paso
TX, 1 kW; KOAL Price UT, 6.8 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Dec 14 at 0734, R. Rebelde remains reactivated, VG here
but no 10050; nor RHC on 5040 & 10080. The other side:

READ TODAY THE CUBA OF TOMORROW --- December 14, 2022 POLITICS

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, Dec 14 at 0739, S9+20 of dead air from RHC; also 6165,
S9+10. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, Dec 14 at 2242, no signal into UTwente from R.
Cairo in English for a sesquihour from 2115. Something`s always amiss
in Abis (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Dec 14 at 0728, only 9/kHz split JBA carrier
is here, R. Kiribati (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Dec 14 at 0740, no signal from VON (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Don`t you believe that `StarDate` is on KGOU
Norman and its satellites, daily at 7 AM & PM CST = 13 & 01 UT. Still
not having located it on the `upgraded` KUCO, if at all, I bring up
the KGOU stream at 0100 Dec 14. Instead, after the `Fresh Air` opening
teaser, this news hole is filled by `National Native News` as on KGOU
sked, with nothing specified for 7 AM. Looking again at the website,
somewhat obscure is link to affiliates:
https://stardate.org/radio/affiliates
upon which is a USA map where you have to click on a state.
Considering that all OK entries are wrong, I would not believe any
without confirming. Guess what: publicradiofan.com doesn`t know of
any, just as a podcast. Furthermore, StarDate website credits for show
does not even mention the only voice we always hear, Billy Henry,
ex-Sandy Wood. It does name several people behind the scenes in
scripting and produxion. He is elsewhere on the site or search on his
name.

Next I try KUNM Albuquerque NM as it and all its relays are on the
affiliate list: 7 pm [MST] except Sundays 6:30 pm - CONFIRMED, UT Wed
Dec 14 at 0200 on KUNM webcast, even tho it is too insignificant to
appear on KUNM`s own skeds, as if `Espejos de Aztlán` start at 7 pm
sharp, lunes a viernes. Music after StarDate is certainly nothing
Hispanic. O, on Tuesdays, `Home of Happy Feet` starts at 7 altho the
title is `centered` as if it start an hour later (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Dec 14 at 2300, token English from REE, billboard
of features starts with something about silly ballgame players, so I
ditch it for TURKEY q.v. instead. But a quickcheck later finds it`s VG
into Maryland SDR, while 12030 & 11940 are JBA and 11685 inaudible if
it even be on (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.001, Dec 14 *from a few seconds before 2300
timesignal, VOT S9+35 into Utwente. Now seems to be coördinating with
BBC Oman until 2259.5* so as not to overlap with IS. Usual sign-on
with jumbled English schedule, and soon there is surging caused by
open carrier from PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi, East Turkistan, land of ChiCom
genocide against Uighurs and other Moslems, which has also just opened
on a slightly different frequency making subaudible heterodyne - SAH
fading. Not until 2311.7 do the ChiCom bring up the relayed CNR1
modulation, after which the CCCCCCI is rather annoying. As usual, VOT
is undermodulated so that I have to open SDR and own volume controls
to max, but aside from the QRM would be sufficient considering how
strong the signal is. After news and music break, 2322 feature title
now sounds like `Clipping Files`? It`s about genetic diseases and
social media addixion causing depression, narcissism. At the closing
it sounds more like `Gripping Piles`, more next week. 2326,
multilingual ID filler reel. 2328, `Weekly Commentary`, by some prof.,
can`t understand name or institution, about Xi`s official visit to
Sa`udi Arabia, what effect it could have on the ME. Usual too-heavy
accent by YL reader. 2353 recheck closer to 5960.002, already in TRT
IS and the CCCCCCI is even worse. 2356 begins interspersing German
IDs. 0000 Dec 15 still on, signing on German, mixing with ChiCom
anthem. 0008+, enough cacophony. Something`s always erroneous at
Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2168 monitoring: confirmed UT Wednesday
December 14 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S8/9+10 into Maryland SDR.

Also confirmed Wednesday December 14 at 2205 the 2200+ on WBCQ 7490-,
S8/S9 direct but vs S5/S6 high noise level, really unlistenable. Via
Maryland SDR, however, it` S9+10/20 -58 Hz offset = 7489.942. Next:

Vanuatu, best signal yet on this fundamental (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0015 UT December 15

** ARGENTINA [non]. 9395, UT Tue Dec 13 at 0200, RAE ATTW in English,
VG via WRMI, show dated Wed Dec 7! Preview not mentioning any `DX
Actuality` on this one. System G/ray skedgrid shows RAE English at
0200 UT Fri & Tue -- other RAEs not always at this time otherdays. I
guess RAE are still producing only one new semihour per week in

** CANADA [and non]. 750 kHz, Dec 13 at 0741 UT, Spanish music during
WSB absence, tnx to tip from Les Rayburn of the CPC, to be 0500-0930
both tonight and Dec 14. Not sure whence, but by 0744 some hard rock
music dominates instead: I bet it`s CKJH. Yes, 0746: ``wherever you
go, you can find us, beachradiosk.ca`` -- always good for a chuckle,
their beach-branding far from any seacoast at Melfort, Saskatchewan.
25 kW day and night, and what do you bet they are ND rather than
aiming NNE with a notch toward WSB? Now, if only I could DX the Okie
on 750 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Dec 13 at 0128, Spanish, presumed R. Rebelde is back on
with strong signal here, but no harmonic on 10050. 5025 activity bad
news for Quillabambans and Honiarans and those who would hear them.

10080, Dec 13 at 0128, RHC harmonic is on with music, not // 6000
English nor 11760 Spanish. 0131, RHC theme and French which is
supposed to be on 5040, but a JBA carrier there, as transmitter
mistuned to X2.

This is the situation at later chex 0727-0730: 10080 with RHC music
S9/+10, but 5040 a JBA carrier only. 10080 with RHC news in Spanish at
0730. No 10050 now, but 5025 with Rebelde ID at S9+20.

6000, Dec 13 at 0728, dead air at S9+20/30 and 6100 dead air at
S9+10/20. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11850, Dec 13 at 0726, S7/S8 of dead air, no doubt the most
silent of RHC transmitters supposed to be off long before now. Proving
propagation from Cuba at this hour is the pulse jamming against
nothing, neighborly on 11860; but not 11930 this time. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, Dec 13 at 2118, R. Cairo S9+40/45 into UTwente,
huge humbuzz and whine with traces of extremely distorted talk
modulation in presumed English. Something`s always egregious in Egypt.
Let`s hear it for Pres. Sisi! Made it onto air today (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Dec 13 at 0738, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati;
only other one on 1215, see UNIDENTIFIED (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, Dec 13 at 1642 UT check, K17JN-D, Enid, is still,
no surprise, off the air. I would be surprised if K17JN-D have any
significant viewership besides me - tho never for the gospel-huxter
program content! It gets absolutely no publicity in Enid: no newspaper
listings, not on cable [tho 3ABN by satellite is somewhere on a high
tier], and most Enidians unaware of it, or if they are, don`t know
it`s really here. Only way to run across it is making a DTV set scan
for OTA channels --- when it`s not AWOL (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.002, Dec 13 at 2300, VOT VG S9+35/45 into
UTwente with timesignal, English sign-on with jumbled sked, news; 2309
Review of the Tuerkiyish Press, by now with CCCCCCI making a medium
SAH. VOT is somewhat undermodulated but sufficient on very strong
signal and no hum or other extraneous self-imposed noises. 2315
`Weekly Commentary` by a guest prof, but I give up trying to
understand it vs the reader`s heavy accent: something about Xi and
China. 2352 sign-off and 2353 IS stays on a while for a change. 2356
starts interspersing IDs in GERMAN twicemal per minute. 2358* chops
off totally uncovering the ChiCom at only S9/+5, also on 5960.002 but
still with that medium SAH which must be caused by some other carrier
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5950, UT Tue Dec 13 at 0134, WRMI with strange show about
astrology, Geminids MS peak, mispronounced Geminides. At first I
thought it was a hamish subshow on Legends, but not // 9455 during
this hour. Time references make this seem live. 0142 says is now also
on WBCQ, but which? Not 7490- but there he is on 6160-, `Your UFO

Shows 6160 not on air before 0200 except UT Mon, Sat and Sun, which

** U S A. 1550, Dec 13 at 1623 UT, rock music // and synchro with 1130
KLEY Wellington KS. Therefore its long-silent sibling station KKLE
Winfield KS is really on the air. Furthermore, 1550 loops correctly
NNE/SSW, but it has a fast SAH from an Okie. On Nov 18 in the
nightmiddle 0803, when 1130 is supposed to run ONE WATT, but always
with 250 W day power, I heard a joint ID for both of them among
several others including FM translators. All have had
financial/ownership problems; tho run from the same address in
Wellington, 1550 originally was separate news/talk format (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1215 kHz, Dec 13 at 0737 in JBA 9/kHz split carrier
scan, surprised to hit one here, only one besides 846 and vs lightning
storms just west of here. Much earlier in evening, 1215 would
obviously be Absolute Radio, UK, six synchros totalling 366 kW; only
other TA possibilities this late would be three X 15 kW COPEs in
Spain, if still on air. But e.g. London sunrise today is not until
0758, almost as late as it can be. How about TP? Only one 2 kW from
NZ, and nothing on islands closer (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

``How is judicial independence trampled on and controlled in Cuba?

Why in Cuba are the judicial cases of political prisoners such as José
Daniel Ferrer, leader of the dissenting Patriotic Union of Cuba
(UNPACU); rapper and activist Maikel Castillo "Osorbo," and Luis
Manuel Otero Alcántara, artivist and a leader of the San Isidro
Movement, dealt with "from above?" What does it mean that, in the
proceedings against such high-profile figures, judicial action is a
pure formality, given that their imprisonment had been decided before
their cases were ever submitted to the regime's courts?``...

** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, KUCO-FM: just as I feared, now that we are into
weekday programming, Monday Dec 12, before 16 UT and after 18 UT
whenever checked, we are no longer hearing the once-familiar voices of
local classical announcers. The ``upgrade`` means outsourcing the
DJing and most of the classical music programming. Don`t get me wrong:
I have no complaints about the quality of music programming and
announcing from elsewhere, but it`s a shame KUCO is giving up its
identity.

At a 1902-1904 UT break, however, Curt Timmons is still to be heard
with local weather for OKC as well as the satellites in McAlester,
Woodward. But then it`s back to ``Classical 24`` rather than his own
presentation. His title is ``Announcement Coord``. He does the same at
2002-2004 UT. But at 2004.5, `Birdnotes` appears, upcut. These may be
the spots for more modules now. No module in the 21 UT ToH newshole,
but at 2103 local Kent Anderson introduces some Chopin --- so at least
this hour it`s back to KUCO origination? All very confusing. No, that
was a brief interlude. By 2107 it`s back to C24 with something else.

Classical 24 originates with Minnesota Public Radio, not WFMT Chicago,
tho I am sure I heard Peter van de Graaff, an announcer on WFMT`s
Beethoven Satellite Network last week. Maybe KUCO is using both, or
experimenting with both at the outset? Both of these try to sound
``local`` by being generic without ever mentioning their network! It
appears that KUCO`s multi-thousand CD library is now largely
redundant. See Wikipedia for more about Classical 24, including
dismissing its only Black announcer for what he did after George
Floyd`s murder by Minneapolis police.

My initial impression of C24 is that it tends to play more shorter
pieces, which allows plenty of breaks for `underwriting` commercials
and promos. The weekday 3-5 pm bloc on KUCO used to accommodate some
longer symphonies, etc. by not taking a break for anything at 4 pm.
Not any more: after weather, Kent again gets to play only a snippet of
Chopin fill music before back to net. KUCO DJs have plenty of
experience with back-timing: fade up some music in progress so it will
end just before a net join, as that is less jarring than starting at
the beginning and having to fade it out. But some of the transitions
are still abrupt.

We are still awaiting info on resumption/rescheduling of several
``modular`` few-minute programs on KUCO which no longer fit into the
clock, such as `StarDate`. Its own website provides free transcripts,
but there is a price for hearing them unless a day later:
https://stardate.org/radio/listen
No doubt we could track down some other webcasting stations with
StarDate at regular times. Own list shows 7 AM & PM daily on one other
Okie, KGOU/KROU. KUCO never ran it on Sat/Sun, as if the Universe
grind to a halt on American human weekends.

For `A Day to Remember` we have to go to disgraced FB for update, also
transcripts and illos not on the radio:
https://www.facebook.com/ADayToRememberRadio/

``A Day To Remember - Radio 2h · Greetings ADTR friends and fans! If
you listen to the broadcast over the air on KUCO, there are a couple
of schedule changes to note: the morning broadcast moves up five
minutes, from 8:06 to 8:01 am. The afternoon show will now air at 5:01
pm rather than 3:01 [sic: it was 3:06]. Thanks for listening!`` It`s
sort of like Paul Harvey`s TROTS = The Rest of the Story, leading up
to a big reveal at the end. Heard more like 2302 UT Dec 12; spoiler
alert: the first mo/tël! KUCO also used to air BBC news at certain
hours, but no longer? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, Dec 12 at 1706 past 2400 UT, NO signal from
K17JN-D, the 3ABN translator and Enid`s only local TV transmitter.
Isn`t that unusual for a city of 50K, 100 km away from nearest major

TV and audio substations. No storming as an excuse for outage. No
doubt it`s unpersonned, and may take a while for HQ to become aware
and get a contract engineer out to fix it. Info re:

purpose. Finally HP3EFS, Mingo is allowed to make contacts. Here`s all
about it:

** SPAIN. 9690, Mon Dec 12 at 2309, tokEnglish from REE, main feature
by Justin Coe is interview about a new produxion in Madrid of
Bellini`s opera `La Sonnambula`, 13 performances until January 6. 2324
more Mundial nonsense about some Spanish player. VG into Maryland so
not even checking the other three or direct; but by 2348 in French,
9690 fading down considerably. Still no DX/mailbag program for months
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.002, Dec 12 at 2300, VOT S9+30 into UTwente
but CCCCCCI already undergoing by 2305. After SPAIN, tuned over to
here at 2325 as `New Day, New Choices` is ending, right into next
segment with back-to-back themes, `Did You Know That?` about the first
medical school ever, 700 BCE in Anatolia; briefly, and later, music.
2353 sign-off with jumbled but correct English schedule, 2355 only
first few notes of IS before chopped off with no finesse, uncovering
XJPBS ChiCom achieving S9/+10 all by itself but noisy on 5960.001

** U S A. 13565 CW, Dec 12 at 1508, K6FRC ID over and over is JJBBA,

making it here and always in the mornings (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2168 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
December 11 at 2100 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz only, S7/S9
into nearby Noale SDR, very little CCI; following at 2058 some
Horn-of-Africa? music, unreadable announcement chopped off for 2100

Also confirmed UT Monday December 12 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9+10 into

Also confirmed UT Monday December 12 from 0404 on WBCQ Area 51, 6160
minus 52 Hz = 6159.948, S9 into Missouri SDR after JL ran late before

** U S A. 15770, Sun Dec 11 at 2113, `TYROT`, over and over in
different versions, mostly vocal, i.e. `The Yellow Rose of Texas` as a
propagation experiment for Europe by Texas Radio Shortwave via WRMI.
This was supposed to start last Sunday and repeat Dec 18 & 25. It`s
S9+10 but hardly a solid bigsig here off the side of the 44 degree
azimuth, as ever with this WRMI frequency. Includes announcements and
even breaks for SSTV beepery at 2119.6 and 2134. Terry Colgan said
there would be 23 versions during the 21-22 hour, and a special eQSL
available. If I listened to the whole hour, feared the otherwise nice
tune might become engraved in my brain (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Mon Dec 12 at 1552, WRMI-3 is off again unlike
weekends, so bad news for 1530 DX/media program strip: Mon Wavescan,
Tue Shortwave Radiogram, Wed Hobart Radio International, Thu
Frecuencia al Dia, Fri World of Radio -- except Wavescan with a
tridozen other times, not so many for the rest (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Dec 12 at 0728, JBA carrier from R Vanuatu still
here and no harmonix of 3945 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0043 UT December 13

** CUBA. 10080, Dec 11 at 0416, RHC harmonic is on with dead air as I
am prompted to check it by some guy on WA0RCR at this very minute. But
this time there is an equally strong unmodulated carrier on
fundamental 5040. Something`s always wrong at RHC. Next check at 0729:
5040 and 10080 are off, but 5025 & 10050 are now on with dead air,
S9/+10 and S9+10/20 respectively. On 10050 some weak crackling as if
Rebelde modulation be trying to break thru. Something`s always wrong
at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, Dec 11 at 0742, RHC with song in Spanish, S9+10/20,
overmodulated/distorted with humbuzz; shortly English announcement
during jazz show on // 6165, S9/+10 with lower modulation and hum.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13772 & 13628 approx., Dec 11 at 1506, RHC spurblobs out of
13700 AM sounding normal, but the spurs lack any program modulation,
and in FM mode some tone presumed the traditional F# above middle C,
tho not reconfirmed on my unhandy keyboard. Plus/minus ~72 kHz first
order, so also check 144 kHz away for second-orders: yes, there but
weaker circa 13556, but too much WWCR 13845 with sporadic E boost to
detect one circa 13844. // 13740 also on, innocent byfrequency.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** INDONESIA [non]. 7780, Dec 11 at 0801, VOI in English via WRMI,
S7/S9 direct, headlines or intro as I am trying to lock on to the
accent; 0802 already to song, anthem? 0805 ID and news? Sounds worth
listening to, but shall not stay awake any longer (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Dec 11 at 0739, no signal from VON; if there were,
it would be hardly modulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 90.1, continued from my last report about KUCO,
Edmond/OKC. Normal Met Opera time is 18 UT Saturdays, not 17, as I
slipped into CDT mode despite my best efforts. However, with
extra-long opera = plural of opus, Met will advance start to 1730 or
even 1700, a really annoying practice pre-empting other programming;
instead of just lasting late as necessary.

I am glad however to confirm that Lane Whitesell`s anonymous
vocal-music-filler hours post-Met still exist. This week, over to him
at 2125.5 UT. He starts with something by César Franck since Dec 10 is
his birthday, and then two other b-day composers of atonal modern
music. Relying on bdays as a programming method might seem a crutch,
tho I myself have done it on WUOT. However, if one consult an
exhaustive calendar, it`s a good way not to overlook composers,
performers, perhaps premières, at least once every septayear, except
for leap-year confusions --- if applied to a weekly program.

New slightly modified branding is ``Oklahoma`s voice for the
performing arts``. Unusually this Saturday afternoon, direct KUCO 90.1
signal was completely blotted by KHCC Radio Kansas, Hutchinson with
tropo up. QRM from this is frequently a problem on various portable
radios around here - they are also classical but also with
considerable newstalk such as BBCWS overnight; currently in a pledge
drive.

A new one on the KUCO sked is `The Third Floor`, Sunday 9 am-noon CT.
10-11 am used to be occupied by quarterly series such as Santa Fe
Chamber Music Festival - I sure hope KUCO finds some place for that
when it come around again, likely Q2 2023, as lead-in for next year`s
live fest July-August!

What an odd name. Listening Sun Dec 11 at 1637 UT, it`s Bill Cromwell
introducing Mahler`s 8th, so I search him out, finding him extremely
bald:
https://classicalthirdfloor.org/

``The show is called The Third Floor because I imagine a third floor
in some grand home, an upper level above the domestic, where you'd
find a study, a library, a studio, and a music room, It's a place for
contemplation, learning, exploration, reading, thought ... and
attentive listening``. This two-sesquihour show comes from PRX, not
WFMT.

The long Mahler 8 is rudely interrupted at 1700 for KUCO ID, and then
the *second* hour of Third Floor again, instead of third, as he says
the Mahler will start in about half an hour; meanwhile, some
Hovhannes! I listen to his Mahler intro the second time, and cringe
again when he mispronounces ``Singverein`` as ``-reen``(Glenn Hauser,
Enid, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Dec 10 at 2332, VOT is VG S9+20/30 into
UTwente, including considerable CCCCCCI from East Turkistan, std
denunciation; while to Maryland SDR it`s S9/+5 with little CCCCCCI.
Subject seems obesity. Oh2, 2359 still on with IS, Dec 11 0000
timesignal, simulblotted by *0000 The Mighty KBC via Nauen, GERMANY.
The collision I have been predicting as on a random basis, TRT may
keep going past 0000 for unscheduled German, as I can barely confirm
in a few minutes, with XJPBS also still in the mix.

Unknown when TRT cut off as I soon had enough of that. 0013 recheck,
KBC seems to be solo. This will cease to be a problem from 2023y as
KBC quits Nauen due to increasing cost - blame Putin? And moves to
WRMI 5950, 22 hours later at 22-24 UT Sundays. Unfortunately there is
a `collision` in program timings vs two of the most popular music
shows on WBCQ 7490, Marion`s Attic and Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot! I`m
amazed that program scheduling decisions are made in a vacuum without
consideration for the competition from the listeners` POV. If we are
stuck with that KBC time on RMI, a solution could be for WBCQ to move
those two shows 24h earlier to 22-24 UT Saturdays -- strangely enough,
the 7490 sked shows nothing at all between 20 and 24 Saturdays, so
really available? How about it, UB? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2168 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
December 10 starting late at 2053.7 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, until
2122.6, i.e. almost 29:00 minutes, after the music-only portion of my
openings and the country list have been edited out; and quick WA0RCR
IDs inserted every dekaminute. Preceding was `QSO Today` and following
was ARRL news, but I think this is not always the case. Good
groundwave signal into nearby SDR; JBA carrier audible direct, as we
are in wintry lowest sun zenith, allowing residual skywave. Possibly
would be readable without high local line noise level = HLNL.

Also confirmed UT Sunday December 11 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S5/S7 into
Maurice LA SDR claiming to be the best one; and starting with WRMI`s
self-imposed noise burst blasting off the first few seconds of my
opening on this System.

Also confirmed UT Sunday December 11 at 0419 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO,
about 10 minutes into so started early around 0409; S9+10/20 into
nearby SDR but with some storm crashes: nearest is a small one in NW
corner of AL; major area in central/SE TX. Next:

** U S A [and non]. 9329.80V, Sunday Dec 11 at 0732, WBCQ/WLCR S9+10
in English, ex-Brazuguese, ex-Spanish during this hour. A new language
sked had just been widely publicized as Portuguese, but it`s already
out of date! The new sked still makes no sense as to prime listening
or sleeping hours in various targets. I wonder if WBCQ itself play any
role in picking language playbacks, or if totally remote-controled
from WLCR HQ, wherever that may be, Cairo? Explaining how one may
qualify for RCC sainthood; British accents make WLCR sound so
authoritative! Frequency keeps wavering as I try to pin its
measurement. No sign of Cuban spies despite that being `scheduled` per
EiBi on days 1357 = Mon/Wed/Fri/Sun; while Aoki shows days 1246 =
Sun/Mon/Wed/Fri. IIRC the night before, Sat, or was it anteayer Fri,
the two collided making a big het (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Dec 11 at 1503, this WRMI is still on with Blalock the
Blaster; did not follow how long he may have onstayed this Sunday,
unknown whether will still be off long before the weekday 1530 DX
program strip (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15770, Dec 11 at 1919, WRMI, S9+10 into Maryland SDR, with
classical `cello music, as first noted last Sunday by Richard Langley.
Per following announcement it`s `Music & Medicine` by a doctor who
correlates the two M`s. Outro as some Piazzola, then about Bach`s
Goldberg Variations as a sleep aid -- but then plays something else,
Wagner`s Tannhäuser Overture. 1935 Nocturne by Chaikovsky. 1942 The
Swan by Saint-Saëns. This show was publicized by WRMI as not starting
until January 1!:

``Music & Medicine is a Classical Music/Medical Advice Show that is
hosted by Dr. Carl Werne, MD. Dr. Werne combines his 50 year medical
career in emergency medicine with an equally long love of Classical
Music and the Cello. Dr. Werne has performed all over the nation with
greats like Isaac Stern. As a performer/composer, he has recorded over
35 CDs and has performed on stage in Colorado, Florida, Connecticut
and Carnegie Hall in New York City. Music & Medicine will be heard at
1900-2000 UTC Sundays beginning January 1, 2023 on 15770 kHz`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Dec 11 at 0739, R. Vanuatu is JBA still here rather
than harmonicizing on 7890, 11835 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN. 9710, Dec 11 at 0747, Slavic talk, certainly not Russian,
S9/+10 where normally there is nothing. EiBi shows it`s VR in
Ukrainian, Sundays only so liturgy? at 0705-0800, to be followed by
Romanian, 0810-0920. I was wondering why not encountering this on
9645, as in seAsons when they were also one UT hour earlier. Now too
much CCCCCCI on 9645 per listings tho not much here. 9710 at 0756
choral music, 0800 first 4 notes of VR IS, before chopoff* (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1098 kHz, Dec 11 at 0752, only 9/kHz split JBA carrier
detectable, presumed V7AB MARSHALL ISLANDS, in the absence of any 846,
presumably another silent Sunday on Kiritimati (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1956 UT December 11

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Sat Dec 10 at 1502, LRA36 in song,
S5/S7 into Argentine remote SDR, where Gary Pence, TX, and someone in
London, UK, are already upon it. 1504 sign/on ``a partir de este
momento``, ``ciclo radial 2022``, ``Radio Nacional Arcángel San
Gabriel``, staff names, ``Nacional, la radio pública``; 1505.7 theme
song; 1511 another song, rap; 1517 ``live`` YLs intro talk, diciembre:
``nuestro último mes acá``; temp minus 3, ``bastante nublado`` but
1522.3* chops off the air even earlier than Wed 1531*, of which this
is a playback; hoping for a more complete rendition of the typically
sesquihour show. O well, it`s really inconvenient for me to monitor
and take notes during breakfast. Rechex at 1540 & 1550 find it still
off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11850, Dec 10 at 0342, S9/+10 of dead air or maybe JBM of RHC
Spanish; into interior longwire during a storm. Something`s always
wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6165, Dec 10 at 0717, RHC English S9/+10 but very
undermodulated -- i.e. slightly better than just barely. Only
frequency left?

No: 11670, Dec 10 at 0724, RHC English S6/S9 with good modulation on
this frequency supposedly only for Spanish earlier in evening.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Dec 10 at 0715, VON is on at S9/+10 but JBM.
Something`s always abysmal at Abuja (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. As if in reply to my complaints, this appears at
http://www.kucofm.com homepage Dec 10 from the new GM:

``What's Happening with KUCO Programming? Many of you have probably
noticed some changes taking place with KUCO's programming.

We recently upgraded our on-air systems (Thursday, December 8) to
better serve our listeners with excellent performing arts programming
and music throughout each day, evening, and overnight period. These
new upgrades also benefit our dedicated staff in so many ways to
assist in collecting and presenting those special programs to you.

And as all good plans go, these new upgrades clearly "advanced" the
need for us to adjust the scheduling of some of our favorite KUCO
programs while adding a few new ones and removing others that have not
been as popular based upon listener feedback and collected research.

We are currently working to connect our website, mobile app, and new
on-air system to provide playlist and program information. A weekly
schedule of program times can be found here.
https://www.kucofm.com/programs/program-schedule-grid/

We are also working quickly to schedule back in our module programs A
Day to Remember, Composer's Datebook, StarDate, and BirdNote.
Additionally, our new website will be launching very soon.

We at KUCO appreciate your patience as we continue to make our
upgrades, prepare to launch our new website, and provide excellent
performing art music and programming to you. I would also like to
thank those who have recently reached out to us by phone and email. As
always, we love to hear from our listeners. Best, Jeff Hagy``

Meanwhile, at the start of one hour of generic classical I heard the
distinctive voice of Peter van de Graaff IDing himself,
https://radionetwork.wfmt.com/people/our-producers/peter-van-de-graaff/
so we know KUCO has turned over much (all?) of its classical
programming to the WFMT network, as its logo is now at bottom of KUCO
homepage; a.k.a. Beethoven network. It may sound a bit more `polished`
than WCPE, and no longer distract us with Eastern timechex and North
Carolina references.

I`ve sent a note to WCPE about the change, and thanking them for all
the great music they have provided overnight for many years via KUCO.
https://theclassicalstation.org/

Inspecting the new program schedule from KUCO, it looks like WFMT is
now being relayed not only overnight but mornings, middays and
afternoons. Are KUCO`s own announcers being replaced??? That would be
a shame! These blox now bear generic titles. And there is a new 3-hour
jazz block M-F from 9 pm CT = Tue-Sat 03 UT. Goodbye to the 10 pm
strip of syndicated shows such as `Music from the Hearts of Space`,
Fridays. That survives, moved to 11 pm Saturdays. [All times in this
item are CST = UT minus 6; altho half of OK including Enid should be
on UT -7, meridianally. Yet there is talk of imposing UT -5 upon us
permanently!]

`Performance Oklahoma`, KUCO`s own produxion, survives, moved from 8
pm Wednesdays to 7 pm Thursdays, still repeated at 8 am Saturdays.

Various programs from elsewhere occupy most time weekends, and jumbled
around also for a 10-11 am block M-F. `Feminine Fusion` has been moved
from 4:05 pm Sundays to 10 am Tuesdays.

Lost in the shuffle is `Wind & Rhythm`, ex 3:05 pm Sundays, ``for
those who love band music``. We can still access the latest and
hundreds of previous shows at:
http://www.windandrhythm.com/
Where that originates physically has been kept secret, but in past
there have been clues as to: Tulsa.

The new season of Saturday matinées from The Metropolitan Opera has
just begun at 1700 UT Dec 10, still on KUCO, with a brand-new/unknown
opera, ``The Hours``, Still unheralded on the websked but we hope
still extant, is Lane Whitesell`s vocal-oriented anonymous fill music
from the extremely variable ending of live Mets until 5 pm Saturdays
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2168 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday December 10 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, S9+10/30 into Missouri
SDR.

Also confirmed UT Saturday December 10 at 0500 on WBCQ Radio Angela,
5130, S5/S7 into NH SDR. Shows fluxuating offset of minus 17.3 to 19.7
Hz. Is this fault of transmitter or receiver? Comparing to WWV on
5000.00000 --- there the fluxuation is minus 0.1 to 0.8 Hz, so that`s
obvious rx fault, reading up to almost 1 Hz low. Adjusting that would
make WBCQ on about 5129.982v also fluxuating but only 1.7 Hz worth,
the rest 0.7 Hz imposed by the SDR. Also, toward the end there were
some ``uteblaaps`` much like what forced WBCQ off 4790. After sign-off
0529, carrier stayed on until 0532*.

Also confirmed Saturday December 10 at 1700 on WRN N America webcast.

** U S A. 9955, Sat Dec 10 at 1546, WRMI is on, with ``Greatest Hits
of All Time`` music fill! Rather than TOMBS which is the scheduled
reason for 15-17 UT extension on Sabbath, but which is on much
stronger 9980 WWCR. Yet another anomaly, while weekdays 9955 has been
shut off after 1500 despite various DX programs at 1530 including WOR
Fridays (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9329.857V, Dec 10 at 0727, WBCQ/WLCR now in Brazuguese
instead of Spanish. That should confuse the Cuban spies when they are
not taking an alternate night off like this date. It seems WLCR will
not stick to any particular language schedule. But, who cares? It`s
all nonsense from the flat-earthers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Dec 10 at 0714, S5/S8 of JBA talk from R. Vanuatu
rather than the 3945 harmonix. Gary Pence agrees at exactly same

to be on 3945, MW 1125 and FM 100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
