** CUBA. 6000, Dec 21 at 0430, RHC S9+30, English, undermodulated and
attracting local hum level as other very strong sigs. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 408 kHz MCW, Dec 21 at 0437, JDM is JBA, 25 watt NDB from
Colby KS in the NW corner, nickname `Wheatfield`. Altho there is now
zero Blitz stormnoise across North America, I am still hearing hardly
any MW/LW beacons - not even 332 IC Wichita, and nothing from Canada.

JDM is seldom heard; probably my unIDs Dec 10 at 0419, and Nov 5, 2023
at 0311. Last definite log was Nov 13, 2021 at 0715, when I added: My
previous log from 2020y bears repeating:

```408-MCW kHz, Oct 18 at 0643 UT, JDM, 25-watt NDB at Colby -
Wheatfield, Kansas. One wonders how a call with no connexion to the
listed location came about? So I try searching on JDM Colby, finding
``Colby Howard Lands at JD Motorsports For Majority of 2020``
about NASCAR - that`s a stretch! Further down are linx to JDM as
NAVAID, but no call significance. Even further down, there is a JDM
Enterprises, LLC, in Colby among 55 other places:
https://opencorporates.com/companies/us_ks/8804627
but what does it do?`` Do they have a private airstrip in Colby?```

I had also logged it a number of times earlier in 2020y but not before

** U S A. 3215, UT Thu Dec 21 at 0432, WWCR-1 still suptorted tho
S9+20/30 with a different program than previous nights, so not the
programs` fault. I was about to say that same WWCR-1 unit when on
15825 daytimes did not have this problem: but now it does at 1634
check Dec 21, S9+25. The other three, 13845, 12160, 9980 are very loud
and clear. Something`s not right at Nashville (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD

** 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...``

** 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

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)
