** 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
time. Ron Howard sends a recording of their ID at 0801 Dec 8 claiming
to be on 3945, MW 1125 and FM 100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, KUCO-FM, sent to them Dec 9, times CST = UT -6:

I wonder, what in the world is going on with KUCO programming?

Stardate has been failing to appear at 9:58 am. Today at 10 am Friday,
The Score, instead of 2 pm. Before 3 pm and from 3:07 pm, some unknown
woman announcer with classical, from where? Unseems WCPE.

Kimberly`s recorded top-of-hour KUCO ID. At 3:02, A Day to Remember
instead of 3:06. Then Kent Anderson briefly as if he were live, before
back to the unknown woman. She never gives her name nor hints what
syndicated classical music service this is.

Another try to hear Stardate at previously scheduled repeat 6:58 pm --
instead, `Exploring Music` is ending! Supposed? to start at 7 pm, but
must now be at 6 pm. Then at 7 pm, Symphonycast, also an hour earlier
than had been.

Is the automation all screwed up? Or has the new boss decided to shake
everything up without even telling us on the website schedule and
playlists? As with canceling abruptly Weekend Radio?

** U S A. 770, Dec 8 at 0731 UT, ``So many great songs, 77 KATL`` ID
right away and above any QRM. That`s Miles City, Montana, and many tnx
to Earl Higgins, St Louis, who had notified the IRCA iog some 5 hours
earlier that it was making it into eastern USA despite WABC. Those
further east were not hearing it, but WABC is not a major factor here,
1300 miles away. Presumably on non-direxional 10 kW day power rather
than 1 kW direxional at night. Will this Montana window continue? My
last log of KATL was March 3, 2013, at 1319, circumstantial with
offset same ABC programming as KKOB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO
2168)

** VANUATU. 7260, Dec 8 at 0737, R. Vanuatu is still on here with some
JBA talk, not just carrier, and nothing on 7890, 11835 since no
longer switching to fundamental 3945 at 0659; Ron Howard agrees and
hears it much better (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2168)
