** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, since it`s Wednesday, Dec 21, time for
another LRA36 check, as I`m up and at it by 1459: best Argentine SDR
is offline so I try the four others: two get nothing, and two get VP
S2/S3 signal at least enough to confirm it`s on, with prélude music,
but signal vanishes already at 1505* before any talk/sign/on. Also
check Uruguay remote, nil. Keep running an Argie with nothing but
noise until I quit at 1542.

Just as well, as I expected them to be insufferable about some silly
ballgame. Beyond me how proficiency at ballgaming by a few guys
translates to national pride, anywhere, when there are countless other
fields of endeavour which really matter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 284 MCW kHz, Dec 21 at 0738 UT, dash and QD, 500 watt ND
beacon at The Pas, Manitoba. A few of the other Canadian Y## beacons
also audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6100, Dec 21 at 0727, RHC S9+20 of dead air in English except
for hum; 6165 with S9+10 of DA; only SW transmitters still on. Often
it`s 6060 like that instead of 6100. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13700, Dec 21 at 1549, RHC is S9/+10 direct but no spurs.
Something`s not always wrong at RHC. The Other Side:

``All about MSMEs in Cuba: who will own them and which ones will
prosper? The creation of MSMEs is at the core of the Cuban
government's economic strategy. What are they? Why are they gaining
prominence? What are their chances of success? What Cuba do they
represent? The series of articles we begin today answers these
questions.

Rafaela Cruz, La Habana 19 Dic 2022 - 18:40 CET

Since Fidel Castro bequeathed absolute rule to the politically weaker
Raúl Castro, we do not know exactly who makes up the inner circle of
power in Cuba. That transition, in monarchical terms, was a
metamorphosis from a centralized pharaonic system — Fidel ruled alone
— to a late medieval kingship model, with a primus inter pares (first
among equals) forced to share his power with and lean on key
figures...``
https://diariodecuba.com/economia/1671471614_44132.html

This article never explains what MSME means! I Googled it: ``Micro,
Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs)`` There must be quite a different
term and abbr. in original Spanish; EMPM? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** INTERNATIONAL INTERNET. The Paul Winter Consort Solstice Saga,
retrospective on YouTube was publicized to start at 0000 UT Dec 22,
but I found it already playable earlier, so hopefully whenever
indefinitely ondemand for convenience; via:
https://www.PaulWinter.com
It`s 2:48 of audiovideo. Greetings, Winter! As we in OK brace
ourselves for record low frigidity (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Dec 21 at 0730, no JBA carrier detected from
R. Kiribati, perhaps another silent Wednesday. Nor any other TP or TA
split 9/kHz carriers audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Dec 21 at 0719 check, no VON signal (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. Our annual pilgrimage around Enid to view Xmas lights,
sound-and-light shows, UT Wed Dec 21 circa 0100-0230 UT. Singing Xmas
Trees again in the oilwell lot at NE corner of Oak & Oakwood, with
stereo sound on 89.5 FM, one of the few clearest lowband frequencies
around here, very weak Part 15 range so you need to park right close
to them beyond the chainlink fence. Music mostly Chipmunx --
¡¡¡Alvin!!!

The other one again at an otherwise dark residence in the Pheasant Run
addition on the westedge off Garland: quite elaborate and better music
variety including Mannheim Steamroller, stereo on 94.9 FM. Ruined only
by Pistol Pete flashing on now and then, the shameful OSU mascot in
this age of school shootings. Otherwise, lights only viewed in the
upscale lake district neighborhood, just south of the KGWA 960
transmitter site which must ruin MW DX reception around there.

Once again, I encourage others to report on their own area Part 15 FM
Xmas lightshow activity. There must be a lot of it (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Dec 21 at 2310, S9+10/20 into Maryland SDR, token
English from REE, feature now about the annual Xmas Lottery,
apparently a Big Deal in Spain for many years; 2324 Catalan song and
interview singer about food market in Barcelona. 12030 weaker but
sufficient, ME beam managing to modulate today. 11945 to SAm quite
weaker; and 11685 to Africa, NO signal except RTTY. Attention split
with TURKEY, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.002, Wed Dec 21 from 2300, VOT English succeeds
today, VG S9+30/40 into UTwente, splitting my attention with
simulSPAIN, q.v. It would be appreciated if VOT could arrange its
AWOLs to coincide with REE`s on-days, MWF. Quick check of 5960 into
Maryland finds it only S7/S9 but less of the CCCCCCI which molests it
in Europe. Includes 2317-2322 `Ripping Files` [???] about criminal
liability of AI - anticipating such a problem as they gain
independence and self-awareness. 2330 discussing gas energy from
Turkmenistan, and via? Azerbaijan. 2342-2348 `Feeling Supreme` on the
benefits of pumpkin seeds, rich in anti-oxidants. 2348 multi-lingual
ID filler reel. 2353 sign-off with jumbled but correct English
schedule. 2354 fragment of IS before cut off, uncovering XJPBS in
Chinese from East Turkistan, standard denunciation (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. From a series of real-time posts I made to WOR iog Dec 21:

Surprise: WMLK in DRM on 9270-9275-9280 at 1554 tune-in, usual gospel
huxter pontificating about what is adultery and what not, some
dropouts, but S9/+10 into Maryland SDR. SNR 22v dB. I copy down all
the other parameters. Label says it`s the Ampegon TSW 2300
transmitter. No spoken ID circa ToH. Presumably a test. FEBC finished
with 9275 AM at 1600, but this overlapped. Nominal WMLK-AM sked starts
at 1700.

At 1610 switched to Johnny Cash, ``Ring of Fire``, in a loop. Still
past 1620. At 1624 switched to other music with some dropouts:
``Amazing Grace`` on plucked instrument.

Label says test from WMLK; antenna: curtain with double stacked
dipole, xHE_AAC(A43456) WMLK EEP Audio 9.14 kbps

When I first tuned in it was different:
xHE_AAC(7B) WMLK Radio EEP Audio 7.46 kbps.
SNR varying around 22 dB. Mode B, MSC 64 QAM, SDC 4 QAM

1627 text msg: Hello Nathaniel, how are you doing?
Parameters have changed again: 13.78 kbps, etc.

Some of the stuff displayed:

``Resistance to large delay/doppler spread`` DRM Mode D ILV L
I have no idea what a lot of this means.

``TX: Ampegon TSW-2500D from Ampegon Power Electronics AG,
Switzerland`` --- Note: earlier it read TSW 2300! Which is it??

1637, besides service 1 only, adds 2 and 4 but disappear before can
copy details. SDR freezes 1640, reload, a bit more, then WMLK signal
off per S-meter, blank DRM readout. 1642 sig back on but nothing heard
- because it`s now in AM, starting regular sked early with Yahweh
stuff.

Andrea Lawendel, Italy did not have enough to decode but heard via US
remote, same one? Wonders if illegally broadcasting to USA only? I
think, no more so than all the other US SW stations on AM with nominal
external targets.

DEJOM drops off AM air again at 1650. 1651 back on S9 with silent DRM,
9.14 kbps. And so it goes.

That soon goes off too, and NOTHING further, DRM nor AM, as I let the
SDR run 9275 background noise until 1830.

Andy Lawendel replies: ``Just faint traces of signals on most of
Italian SDRs. Better in Germany, best of all in Ireland, but still no
audio (never above -13 dB, which is considered a fair minimum). It was
during the "Ring of fire" slot, I didn't check again. Andy``

Wolfgang Bueschel reminds of this earlier from Bodo, DF8DX: ``But
something is indeed happening. I'm flying to the USA tomorrow Dec 11
and will be at WMLK until Dec 22, to work off all the little
unfinished business and do a DRM upgrade. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

The customer had ordered this later, but due to delivery problems
with the equipment I could not finish it in the summer. Now all parts
should be delivered. In my spare time and maybe on the side, I will
also be active as ham radio operator KT3Q partly with the WMLK antenna
on the KW {sic: SW?} stations. (df8dx Dec 10)``

Per QRZ.com: DF8DX Germany flag Germany, Bodo Fritsche, Rebbergstr.
6b, 5417 Untersiggenthal, Switzerland.

9275 not rechecked by me until 2211: still off - but by now supposed
to be off; never back on today? DEJOM *never* has anything new to say,
anyway, and DRM can`t fix that (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4980, Dec 21 at 2327, Xmasmx as WRMI Legends high-tails it
back here after a brief run on ex-WTWW 5085, since George has
reactivated and reclaimed that. Alan Roe checked the WRMI skedgrid
which now shows 4980 straight 2300-0500, joined at other hours by a
complex mix of some others for Legends: 15770, 9455, 9395, 7730, 5950,
5850. WTWW-2 has not yet come back up on 5085 by 2400, but eventually
to be PPPP on SFAW; which used to be on WTWW-1 5830, not yet resumed
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 770, Dec 21 at 0219 UT, Miles City ad during bandscan on
caradio while wrapping up our Xmas lites tour of Enid. Ergo, KATL,
Montana, no doubt still/again on ND day pattern and 10 kW day power
rather than 1 kW night direxional NW. Without even trying for it, but
from dominant peak soon faded down (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Dec 21 at 0719, JBA R. Vanuatu still here rather
than 7890, etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, 5040, 10050, 10080, Dec 20 at 0719, no fundamentals or
harmonix to be heard now. Something`s always wrong at RHC, RadioCuba
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, Dec 20 at 2224 amid supposedly scheduled and
occasionally partially appearing English hour, NO signal now.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, Dec 20 at 2133, no signal of R. Cairo, English
into UTwente. Something`s always amiss at Abis. If and when resumed,
shall be elevated to egregious. Replying to my Dec 16 report:

``The Radio Cairo "humbuzz" consists of a 50 Hz tone and harmonics. On
16 December, at least, the 50-Hz, 100-Hz, and 300-Hz tones were
typically dominant (see attached Audacity spectrum plot). Using
multiple notch filters on a recorded audio file at just these three
audio frequencies resulted in improved audio to the point that a
discussion could actually be followed although it was tiresome. Still
egregious. -- Richard Langley`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUATEMALA [non]. Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine --- In honor of the
martyred GM of La Voz de Atitlán, 2390 kHz, off the air for many
years, but soon to be completed, as on a recent KFOR-TV news item:

https://archokc.org/shrine
https://rothershrine.org/
https://kfor.com/news/local/blessed-stanley-rother-shrine-dedication-pushed-back-three-months/

OKatholix are pushing for sainthood. He was originally from the small
town of Okarche beyond the opposite NW corner of OKC. There is also
some memorial to him there. This has additional significance if not
approval from me, since on my trip to Guatemala I took the boat across
Lake Atitlán and saw the building of LVA, by then shuttered (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Tue Dec 20 at 0732, JBA TP carrier from R.
Kiribati; also six other splits presumed TA: see UNIDENTIFIED (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. Too many typos in this item last report, as in too
big a hurry to finish, missed proofreading. Replace as corrected:

6950 USB, Dec 19 at 2354, S7/S9 of pirate music, Xmassy? The OSOB =
only station on band. 2356 misc. noises; 2359 song, no ID circa ToH;
Dec 20 at 0005 SSTV beepery but very repetitive unlike the usual but
the standard end-of-picture beeps at the 0009 end: then followed by a
voice ID but so ``produced`` it`s unreadable. Many reports here of
Thunder Chicken Radio
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,107021.0.html
with several previous SSTVs but this one was a cartoon drawing of T.C.
himself. Nothing more for a while and tuneout as evidently signed off
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 12030, Dec 20 at 2221, S9/+10 of dead air. Got to be REE
frequency to Mideast, off the back. 9690 to NAm is normal/nominal,
S9+10/20 and fully Spanishly modulated; 11940 to SAm is S9/+10 with
flutter; and no signal at all on 11685 to Africa, presumed off.
Somethings` nonfunxional at Noblejas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.002, Dec 20 at 2302, unlike yesterday and often, VOT
manages to make it to air today during news in English, VG S9+30/35
into UTwente; clear until CCCCCCI modulation from EAST TURKISTAN hits
at 2310, well under but quite an annoyance and growing; 2311 `Review
of the Turkish Press`; 2314-2326 `Weekly Commentary`, about Turkey
rising as an alternative energy source. 2327-2329 some recipe, title
missed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, Dec 20 at 0203, WRMI Legends on now with Ted,
presumably just signed on as scheduled. See previous report, WTWW has
already reactivated 5085. And Dave Zantow notes at 0249 UT:

``Glenn, I see the on line WRMI schedule grid now shows 5085 Khz
between 0200 to 0500 UT with transmitter 4 (this was changed from
earlier today when it was 4980).

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13Hra1coQGQAKDzn8QGeAqPuXbvFsn7umGzESGJQUx5k/edit#gid=0

Guess we will see what happens on Dec 22 UT Thursday on 5085 Khz? Ted
R. must own / control the "wtww.us" web page domain? Question, will we
see a new "wtww.com" (or whatever) to appear down the road?

"Dave's Radio Receiver Page"``

``Glenn, Talked to the FCC and told them we were coming on this
Wednesday. George McClintock 12-19-2022``

``George, Hope Jeff gets the word about 5085 - they were on it after
02 UT tonight - and have put it on their web schedule. #2 used to be
on 9940 daytime (sometimes), but for SFA I suppose you will have to
retune it to the ex #1 frequency 9475. Glenn`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 9455, Dec 20 at 0722, this WRMI is off, while 9395 & 9955
are VG; the 7s? At 0726, all 3 are on with TOM as BS refers to ``next
year 2010`` -- beware of an apocalypse 13 years ago! 7730 is still
again on tho blank 24h on the skedgrid, S9/+10 undermodulated; 7780,
S8/S9 undermodulated; 7570, S9+20/30 loud; also on WRMI 5010, 5850;
WBCQ 6160-; WWCR 4840. Unsynchronized from one station to another. We
can`t ever get enough BS! This dead gospel huxter has attained a kind
of immortality, like plenty of predecessors thru the human miracle of
recording (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9329.8 approx., Dec 20 at 0723, WBCQ/WLCR remains on,
English at S9+20/30; and at 1633 check too. 9329.80 approx., Dec 20 at
2227, S9/+10 of WLCR in Portuguese, so is it aimed at Brasil or not?
PP often much worse here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9980, Dec 20 at 1631, WWCR-4 is off again instead of BSing;
while the other three are VG: 12160, 13845, 15825 with sporadic E
boost. 9980 still AWOL at 2228 but on with music at 2320 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA split MW carrier search from 0732 UT
December 20: 684, 774, 855, 909, 1053, 1215. Bottom three likely
