** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Dec 20 at 0031, Japanese at S9/+5, weakish
signal into Knoxville SDR after checking WOR on 9395; at first thought
maybe something Asian, but WRMI now scheduled with RAE Japanese relay
this hour UT Tue-Sat. At 285 degrees, this is hardly aimed at Japan,'
rather Honolulu and Port Moresby, PNG. If RAE were serious about
reaching East Asia, they would enlist a closer relay site (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Dec 20 at 0434, this RHC is off, so no English at all.
Only other RHC found on is 11760 Spanish. Non-RHCs: 4765, 5910 on;
5025 off. Something`s always wrong at RHC. The Other Side:

``Subsidies in Cuba: grateful fish --- The Castro 'subsidy' is like
treble hook chemically sharpened for deep-sea fishing.
Rafaela Cruz, La Habana 15 Dic 2023 - 19:53 CET, Treble hooks. Amazon
[caption]

"Gratitude," a word that shares etymological roots with
"gratuitousness," has been one of the moral lines used most often and
most effectively to keep Cubans sentimentally tied to Castroism. And,
although this emotional blackmail is no longer wielded as effectively
as in Fidel's time (a PhD in Demagoguery) the Government continues to
articulate paternalistic discourse about its "efforts made to take
care of the people." This, implicitly, elicits the citizenry's
gratitude and its loyalty towards those supposedly self-sacrificing
and disinterested leaders...``
https://diariodecuba.com/cuba/1702666385_51632.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 17, Dec 19 before 0600 UT, K17JN-D, still claiming to
be ``K17JI-D`` is back on air already, having been OFF since Dec 17.
Looks like the same multi-channel lineup as before, without one-by-one
checking (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Dec 20 at 2301, S9+30/40 direct, token English
from SNR previewing afternews feature to be about Xmas customs, yawn;
and so it was at 2314 quickcheck (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.005, Dec 20 at 2300, VOT not off the air,
S9/+20 direct with s/on sked in English. 2346 recheck when measured,
S9+20/30 into UTwente, ``with-you-every-hour`` promo, song; 2350 s/off
by the badax with partial *A23* not B23 English schedule; all times
and frequencies wrong but only one hour early instead of three hours
late! IS briefly and off 2352* uncovering the CCCCCCI from East
Turkistan, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uighurs and
other Moslems. Something`s always awry at Ankara (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2221 monitoring: confirmed UT
Wednesday December 20 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+10/25 into Knoxville
SDR.

Also confirmed Wednesday December 20 at 1505 the unscheduled 1500 on
WRMI 9955, S6/S9 direct; for at least third week in a row.

Also confirmed Wednesday December 20 at 2200 on WBCQ 7490.090, S9/+25
into Maryland SDR, yes, now offset+plus and calibration confirmed
accurate vs WWV 10000. By 2340 recheck, down to 7490.086. After two
weeks of dead air, and last week playing previous rather than current
WOR, WBCQ succeeds. Next:

0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S
0230 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW

during gospel huxter, S9+20/30. One program sked this hour UT
Tue/Wed/Thu; different ones other days of week: we should see if this
happen to them too. Something`s not right at Nashville (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 690, Dec 20 at 0803 UT, dead air atop several weakers.
Dominant 690 here day and night is KGGF Coffeyville KS, no sign of it
otherwise so presumably the dead one. Might have been missing a news
hole, but still silent after 0806 when some talkshow would have
resumed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7200 USB, not LSB, Dec 20 at 2319 QSO between strong
hams complaining about ham QRMers, someham always making anti-Semitic
remarx; first name basis and heard only one call mentioned in next few
minutes, probably the one speaking as he cambioed, but he didn`t even
say ``this is`` or ``from`` W1INE (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 6125, Dec 19 at 0442, no signal direct from VOT,
English to N America; propagation degraded but some other TA signals
are showing on 49m, so presumed off, but not checked at UTwente.
Something`s probably erroneous at Emirler.

5960.006, Dec 19 at 2340, VOT not off the air, S9+45 into UTwente,
``with-you-every-hour`` promo, song; 2353 the s/off with
all-UTC-times-wrong: will anyone there ever notice and get rid of that
recording? Something`s always awry at Ankara. 2355 IS; 2356 pause and
restart IS now with German IDs interspersed but 2357* cutoff in time
to prevent an entire spurious German hour, uncovering East Turkistan,
PBS ``Xinjiang``, std. denunciation, where there was a second
earthquake but news about that has been vague as to exactly where
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U K Q O G B A N I [and non]. 25900, Dec 19 at 1608 BBCWS about
Sudan, with annoying musical background, via Woofferton, S9 fades to
S5 but listenable direct, slightly better than // 21630, S8/S3 via
ASCENSION. Of course both really intended for Africa as BBC does not
recognize N America as a SW target area (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13563 CW, Dec 19 at 1615 UT, HIFER beacon YSO, ID only
repeating. JBA, a struggle to copy since 1613. It`s Yellow Springs OH.
My only previous logs of YSO were November 6, 2021 at 1454, and
October 19, 2021 at 1425, the first one with more info about operator
James C Bailey, AJ8S.

This time, K6FRC is also simulaudible slightly better on 13565 CW. I
rarely hear anything* on the 13550-13570 ISM band except occasional
K6FRC, but look at all the possibilities:
https://www.lwca.net/sitepage/part15/index.htm
*That is, except for 24/7 beepery around 13560, presumed local stores`
RF ID stuff. Is this absolutely ubiquitous everywhere near a store?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2221 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday December 19 at 0350 the 0330 on WRMI 7780, S8/9+10 into
Durango2 SDR. The self-promotional `best` Kiwi at Maurice LA has been
AWOL lately.

Also confirmed Tuesday December 19 at 1406 the 1400 on WRMI 9955, S9
direct. Next:

0030 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
1200 UT Wednesday Unique R, NSW 5035-USB or 3210-USB
1230 UT Wednesday Unique R, NSW 5035-USB or 3210-USB [previous #2220]
1500 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 [unsked but confirmed last 2 weeks]
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW or 5130v?
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S
0230 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW

** U S A. 9455, Dec 19 at 0759, WRMI-5 is OFF, while 9395 & much
weaker 9955 are on. 9455 is supposedly 24h but lately missing late at
nite. Skedgrid transmitter schedule shows going from Fámily Radio in
Spanish to TOMBS at 0800, but program sked below shows 9455 on red
System F, at 0800 instead going to RAE in Japanese. Just one among
many self-contradictory inconsistencies. Also, ignore the
``Effective`` dates on the color-coded skeds, which are never changed
even when obviously just now updated. System F is dated Oct 31, 2022.
Previous nights before 0800, 9455 had been overmodulated and
splattering (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Dec 19 at 1607, WRMI-3 still on with System E, TOMBS.
Supposedly after 1600 only on Saturday Sabbathdays, but this is
Tuesday. System E claims WRN on 9955 daily except Sat, 1600 until 1630
before going to internet only with more from WRN. Just one among many
self-contradictory inconsistencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 3215, Dec 19 at 0436, WWCR-1 is S9+20/30 but again suptorted
= modulation suppressed and distorted. Something`s not right at
Nashville. `Call to Decision` again the scheduled program, due a
refund? Or is it their fault? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1700 kHz, Dec 19 at 0800 UT, ``1700theChamp.com`` defacto ID
from Iowa and into CBS Sports Radio, so KBGG Des Moines. A very busy
website (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
