** BRAZIL. 9664.976, Dec 16 at 0709, RVM with music, then bird calls,
S5/S7 but always good modulation level, and almost on-frequency lately
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6060, Dec 16 at 0720, RHC S9 of dead air; and 6165, S9+20 of
dead air. Cannot tell whether the DA is in Spanish or correct English.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Dec 16 at 0722, R. Rebelde with music at S9+20, but no
show on 10050; no RHC 5040 & 10080 either. Something`s always wrong at
RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, Dec 16 at 2145, R. Cairo S9+15/25 into UTwente
with humbuzz and extremely distorted music modulation; have they no
shame? Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** INTERNATIONAL INTERNET. As I feared, it seems there will be no new

But which still says ``there are no upcoming events``! {meanwhile I am
enjoying a sequence of trax via https://solsticeconcert.com/ (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Dec 16 at 0730, JBA carrier from R. Kiribati,
with heavy splash from 840 WHAS, presumably a regular music break
during C2CAM. No other 9/kHz split TP or TA carriers detected (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Dec 16 at 0715, no signal from VON (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 9440, Dec 16 at 0711, German, S6/S9 with flutter. It`s RRI
via Tsiganeshti this semihour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Dec 16 at 2304, token English from REE M/W/F is
already upwrapping news and into features: first, about a new
Cervantes center/institute in LA/Hollywood which has just opened,
unlike the other ones in US at Chicago, Albuquerque, Harvard and
Seattle. Much about promoting Spanish language and culture, especially
to the 50 megaSS now in USA, expected to balloon to 111M in some
future year I missed. 2311 song break. 2312 pt 2 of an interview with
a Dr Peabody of WHO Europe about the three respiratory viruses now
infecting Europe. 2320, brief report from Lebanon correspondent on how
NGOs are performing Xmas magic. 2322 REE asks for contacts via email
or a multidigit whatsapp. 2323, final part of series about Spanish
stupidballgame players who have made history. I am simulistenng to
TURKEY q.v. which has defaulted to music (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.003, Dec 16 at 2301, TRT is S9+40/45 into UTwente but
NOT in English, not even talking like news on hour, rather presumed
Turkish music for the rest of the hour, with occasional very brief
announcements which sound like Turkish or at least Turkic. Axually
this is a quite enjoyable concert, a respite from the attempted
English shows requiring one to strain to understand them. Maybe lost
feed and instead plugged into one of the domestic channels.
Something`s always erroneous at Emirler and/or awry at Ankara. At 2355
& 2356 two very quick drops in transmission, but right back on as if
attempting to turn it off without success. After pause, 0000 still on
with timesignal and into Turkish? talk, news? Finally does go off and
stay off at 0003.6* Dec 17, uncovering as always the XJPBS from East
Turkistan, std denunciation. No extra German tonight. Since this was
mostly music and SPAIN q.v. mostly talk, I had no problem listening to
both at same time, altho some cannot tolerate such ``cacophony``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

mistuned transmitter leaving only a JBA carrier on 5040; 0731, // 6100
still on in wrong language, program ID as ``Desde la Habana, de lunes

5025, Dec 15 at 0731, R. Rebelde ID in passing, S9+20/30, no signal
however on its double, 10050 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6165, UT Thu Dec 15 at 0732, `Ed Newman` with RHC Mailbag,
offering one of those coveted pocket calendars, new issue for 2023. I
used to get them: they are just one small card with portrait of some
rev`ly figure on the other side. Only RHC English still on air.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13700, Dec 15 at 1600, RHC Spanish still on with live

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 341 MCW kHz, Dec 15 at 0725, OIN, 25 watt ND
beacon at OberlIN, Kansas, mixing with EI, Enid. Both equally weak
JBA, despite localism. Often noted but logged for the record.
Sometimes they take turns, others atop each other as periods differ
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** U S A. 356 MCW kHz, Dec 15 at 0723 UT, ODX, 25 watt ND beacon at

overcome noise level. 1501 standard canned sign/on, multi-lingual

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
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** 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
Harold Sellers, Vernon, BC`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** 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

security forces? 'The clearest proof of the banality and theatricality

https://diariodecuba.com/cuba/1670970511_44022.html
(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:

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
English? Several other times for it shown on convoluted skedgrid:
0200 Tue & Fri 9395
0200 Thu 5800
0930 Wed & Sat 9455
1100 Thu 15770
1130 Fri 15770
2330 Wed 7570
If anyone confirm or deconfirm any of those, do let us know (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** 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)

** UKRAINE [and non]. On Mon, Dec 12, 2022 at 04:44 PM, Glenn Hauser

Volodya Salmaniw replies on the WOR iog: ``When I checked 1386 last
week [via Lithuania via remote SDR], RUI continued in English for some
25 minutes before switching back to Ukrainian. I do see that the RUI
link is active with current programming. Maybe some sense of returning
to a new normalcy? Digging a bit deeper, they are there. The cover
page wasn’t updated. Here’s a link for December 11th:

Richard Langley, NB: ``That page gets updated sporadicly. But, as Walt
said, you can find the audio file on the daily program pages on those
days that the English version of "Ukraine: Security Issue" has been
aired. For example,

http://www.nrcu.gov.ua/schedule/period-items.html?channelID=4&date=2022-12-11
"Ukraine: Global" also aired on that day following "Ukraine: Security
Issue." You can select a different day using the calendar to the right

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2168 monitoring: confirmed UT Tuesday
December 13 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S8/9+10 direct; following Jeff`s
Tecsun commercial attempt after ID, ``The world is in turmoil...`` for
which I, gh, take no responsibility.

NOT confirmed Tuesday Dec 13 at 2330 on WRMI 9955 - now replaced per
sked at 23-24, `Living by the Sword`, politico-religio about leftists
in Mexico, Peru. That leaves us with zero emissions on 9955, the
remaining two on sked being imaginary. Next, I hope:

0030 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S

** 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
Show`.

Here it is on WRMI Programming page in a variety of fonts, illustrated
logo a hand-drawn flying saucer with alien pilot, [sic]:

So is he on the WBCQ schedule yet? Of course not:
http://wbcq.com/schedule/index.php?fn=sked&freq=6160
Shows 6160 not on air before 0200 except UT Mon, Sat and Sun, which
means there would be a conflict with AAAWWW on UT Sat. BTW, this fails
to show any TOMBS at all on 6160-, which runs all-night, until when?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. 9330v, Dec 13 at 0731, NO WBCQ/WLCR, and no Cuban
Spies either. What a waste of spectrum. O -- when they are on, still a
waste! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** 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)
