** BRAZIL. 9665.102, Jan 4 at 2322, RVM good sig but this far
off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN [non]. 5800, Jan 4 at 0239, WRMI in English with ``Backstory
of Japanese Landmarx - Mount Takao`` I can`t imagine anystation but
NHK emitting such, and in fact, the WRMI skedgrid for 5800 on System
D, at 0200-0300 UT Saturdays only is ``World Radio Network`` -- and
guess what, WRN NAm stream at 0230-0300 Tue-Sat is NHK World Radio
Japan! So they are back on air to NAm in English, and probably don`t
even care, know it or ask for it, and for only 30 minutes (or less)
per week unless there happen to be another NHK spot of WRN fill onto
WRMI. At 0200-0230 it`s Deutsche Welle (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 9754.97v, Jan 4 at 0342, Spanish, which was mystifying
some reporters, who overlooked that La Voz Alegre, as that service is
named by Madagascar World Voice, had recently moved off 6180 to avoid
Cuba and Brazil, a good idea, for the bihour in Spanish at 0200-0400.

La Voz Alegre was also one of the programmmes deleted with WWCR-1 as
Alan Roe reported. I was not aware it was on WWCR too, or whether it`s
really the same.

The sign-off of 9755 at 0358 mentioned World Christian Broadcasting,
and various contact info, altho I heard no mention of Madagascar. Such
offfrequenciness has become typical of MWV (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 27184.5 approx., Jan 4 at 2300, Enid CB pirate heard
again after a long absence, relaying // 105.5 K288FX, FM translator of
KYLV 88.9 K-Love OKC during praise music. Lots of QRM and various hets
from skippers (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2276 monitoring: not confirmed UT
Saturday January 4 at 0400 on WTWW 5085, still off the air as

Confirmed Saturday January 4 at 1550 the 1530 on SW Radio, Germany,
6160.001-, S9+10/15 into UTwente. This time 6165 China causes not much
ACI.

Also confirmed Saturday January 4 at 1835 the 1830 on SW Radio,

** U S A. Pre `AAAWWW` chex of WBCQs, UT Sat Jan 4 at 0049 via NH SDR:
3265 & 5130 OFF. 6160 -67 Hz = 6159.933, S9+10 with music instead of
TOMBS which has been expelled from 6160; the 6160 sked now shows at
0000-0100 UT Sat, `Cruisin Radio with Arthur Burton` - no apostrophe
and no Z in Cruisin! 7490 -77 Hz = 7489.923 with usual FKB g.h., S7/S9
with usual ACI splatter from 7495 USAGM but only until 0100*. By 0100,
5130 -22 Hz = 5129.978 is on and has joined // 7490- for `AAAWWW`,
first interjexion in `WTO` theme being ``What the Hell is that?``.
0103; ``it`s 2025, first program of new year``, vows to play more
music in format change - music that you will not hear anywhere else on
US radio stations. First song at 0105, but what is it? At 0110 points
out that 6160 has lots of time for lease now as BS is exclusively on
7490.

Also, this is important: Area 51 has just decided to go back to 5130
as the name would imply, ex-6160 already this weekend, with a
shortened schedule. That means no more WOR at 0400 UT Mondays, but
Larry Will says will still be on webcast only. See separate notice.

0119, datestamp as 3 January 2025. 0121 another raunchy song, ``The
Bitch Came Back`` including F-bombs. At 0200, after wishful thinking
prayer, Hal Turner on 7490, and 5130 into music until cutoff at 0208*.
I think 6160 was now also carrying AAAWWW as on the sked, instead of
something else until last week, but not paying attention to it (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. ``WBCQ Area 51: frequency and schedule changes --- Sat, Jan
4 at 9:53 PM --- Hello all, With the new year we are making some
changes to our Area 51 service. Effective 4 January 2024 we are moving
all of our programming from 6160 KHz to 5130 KHz. In addition to the
frequency change, we are reducing our broadcast schedule by two hours.
Our new schedule is Saturday and Sunday 7-11 PM US eastern time
(Sunday and Monday 0000-0400 UTC).

We really dislike having to drop the 11-midnight hours but increased
transmission costs and lack of sustaining donations are to blame. If
we are able to get more regular contributions we will consider
expanding the service in the future. You can donate to us via Paypal
at radio@zappahead.net
The Area 51 webcast is available 24 hours a day at

** U S A. 9265, Jan 4 at 0743, WINB is on!, S6/S8 in English; sounds
the same as 5850 WRMI which is TOM but not BS preaching, maybe Pastor
Rice? Not checked on second receiver to make sure // but would never
be synchronized. WINB program sked dated Dec 22 shows it closing every
night at 0500! Not back on until 1904 weekdays, 1104 Sundays, 1304
Saturdays, always starting with Overcomer. Of course, still not
accounted for at
https://overcomerministry.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/RadioSchedule4-16-24.pdf
from last April, and in EDT/UT, altho some changes must have been made
since then such as deleting 6160 WBCQ. This expansion may have been
inspired by TOMBS` removal overnight from 6160- WBCQ; will it be every
night? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0022 UT January 5

** ASCENSION. 7285, Jan 3 at 0500, BBCWS news. I was tuned here to
check Turkey at 0400-0500 - or less, and ASC is sked 0500-0600 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BELIZE. 28514 USB, Jan 3 at 2309, V31ZA in western Belize with a
Britishish accent, VG signal working UStations. Interesting lifestory,
originally from UK, and lots of photos including pets on QRZ.com:
``V31ZA Belize flag Belize, KEITH SLATER, P.O BOX 76, San Ignacio,
Cayo, Central America, Belize`` Lots more activity on 10m now, both
phone and beacons (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 9790, Jan 3 at 0506, JBM in French, what? This is
CRI relay at 0300-0500, still on A24 frequency instead of 5910. Aoki
imagines it`s really on 5910, but EiBi maintains true 9790. What I`m
hearing is not really JBM, but RFI as scheduled from 0400! A one-hour
overlap, and now even more as RadioCuba has failed to turn it off
before 0500, suppressing the French; its own modulation varies from JB
to nothing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1640 kHz, Jan 3 at 0644 UT, Fox Sports Radio, S9+48 from
KZLS: Much stronger than usual at night, so I conclude it`s illegally
running 10 kW day power instead of 1 kW, from site east of Hennessey.
BTW, this is hardly ever reported by NZ or Euro DXers, probably
because unlike most X-banders, it`s direxional NNW/SSE to become an
OKC station - but should make it well into western Canada and Latin
America, especially with 10 kW. It`s // 1390 KCRC but not exactly
synchronized (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1670 kHz, Jan 3 at 2120 UT, Virtual DJ Radio still going,
ID by DJ Liam, who was the first one I heard weeks ago, but others in
meantime and they have a long roster. Still unknown who chooses which
one to play on 1670, why, nor from exactly where in Enid but best
around US 81/412 junxion (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Jan 3 at 2300, token English from SNR is VG
S9+30/40 direct; feature subject to be about the ``word of the year
2024`` in Spanish, but I never catch what it was; also how the
language fluxuates and changes. News starts with lowest/best
unemployment figures in 17 years. At 2309 they say 4,074 updates on
Spanish words in December (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Jan 3 at 2258, not off the air with usual VOT IS, but
TRTWorld which follows at 2300 is ignored; poor signal direct (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28490 USB, Jan 3 at 1623, Joe, W1AW in contacts to west
coast, 6s or 7s. It`s ARRL`s own station in CT. Not much else on 10m
phone except algo on 28446, but several beacons from N1-land to K6FRC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 26110 NBFM, Jan 3 at 1617, KMK282 talk, S6/S8 but crackly,
insufficient for clear FM, 1618 to dead air and shortly off*. That`s
the aux of KOVR ``13`` Stockton/Sacramento, funxioning for cuing
remote reporters without a delay in broadcast audio (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2276 monitoring: missed checking
Friday January 3 at 1300 on WRMI 15770; anyone hear it?

Confirmed Friday January 3 at 2158 on IRRS SW via AM Italia,
1322.998+, S9+5 into UTwente - except music playing at tune-in, cut to
last few seconds of WOR closing! What`s going on here? Then usual IRRS
SW s/off, and stays on air a while longer as usual with Feature Story
News.

Also confirmed January 3 at 2300 on WRMI 9955, S9+20/30 direct,
immediately following `Over the Horizon Radio` including WRMI ID.

** U S A. 6160 -70 Hz = 6159.93, Jan 2 at 0302, WBCQ with
patriotic/military music, and // 7490 - 74 Hz = 7489.927 - must be due

witness the advent of 2025y into Brasil? NO, off before 0250 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 6009.96 approx., Jan 1 at 0740, S6/S8 music and Brazuguese
talk, as R. Inconfidência is more audible than usual and always on
signature off-frequency-minus.

** BRAZIL. 28411 USB, Jan 1 at 2305, PY2FZ, Bono calling CQ DX,
working USA including a KF4. ``My friend`` etc., etc., but get the
contact over and ``bye`` in no more than one minute. This applies to
many. QRZ.com: ``PY2FZ Brazil flag Brazil, Helio "Bono" Bono, Avenida
Antenor de Almeida, 3-199, Condominio Chacara Odete, Bauru, SP,

Anyhow, nice to still get trans-equatorial DX on 10m even when the K
index be way up, 6+, and 8 at 1800.

28458 USB, Jan 1 at 2307, PY4MDO, CQ DX, working a KC2 in USA. From

correlated. 0316 announcement from DJ Tony Pavick. 0327 interjects
``Slava Ukraini``. Was going to conclude hour with a ``shortwave

** CUBA. 5980, Jan 1 at 0737, pulse jamming against nothing, a Radio
Martí frequency only scheduled at 11-14; it`s the `slower & longer`
pulsing, at the rate of roughly 40x per minute, but slightly
irregular. And now there is no WWCR leapfrog mixing product to hit,
since 5890 is not on to sault over 5935 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 5025, Jan 1 at 0735, R. Rebelde is off; mostly
lately had been on with weakened signal. Now there is a JBA carrier on
5020, no doubt SOLOMON ISLANDS starting to fade in (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** EAST TURKISTAN. 5060, 4980, 4850, 4500, Jan 1 at 0136, JBA

** OKLAHOMA. 95.1, OG&E Xmas station, and 1670, Virtual DJ Radio, are
still running afternoon of Jan 1 circa 21 UT when I am monitoring
along US 81 in Enid. Far enough from downtown for KQCV to compete for
95.1, despite site E of Seminole, and IDs as Shawnee-OKC-Tulsa. In
fact per radio-locator map, with 100 kW, both OKC and Tulsa are
equally between distant and fringe contours (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Jan 1 at 2300, token English from SNR, S9+30/40
direct, 12030 sufficient, 17715 & 17755 stronger than usual carriers.
No news, but 2024 in review, starting with Spain`s Academy Award
nominees; 2313, world`s oldest person who had survived COVID, born in
1907, died 19 Sept 2024 at age 117 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9650, Jan 1 at 0536, TRT Turkish service is still on SW,
music, S6/S8 direct but with heavy flutter.

Richard Langley reports: ``And last night (1 January UTC), the 0400 UT
broadcast in English, which started about 8 minutes late and recorded
here in NB, was the actual Voice of Turkey with usual sign-off ID and
frequencies. Was this the last VoT broadcast in English?`` [6125,
7285]

Several who checked the 1330 English broadcast on 13635 found that VOT
programming had been replaced by soundtrack of TRT World TV! Per
Jean-Michel Aubier; and: ``I presume this will be the case for all the
scheduled VOT English programming from now on. They have lost me as a
regular listener (since 1970), as I am not interested in the endless
diet of news that their TV channel puts out. Alan Holder, G4ZBH, Isle
of Wight, U.K.``

9660.017-, Jan 1 at 1730 tune-in, JIP some English discussion, 1732
about war in Gaza, S9+10/25 into UTwente with OTH radar? clickery
9650-9670. Segment seemed to be called ``My America``, of all
things.

It does NOT match the TRT World live stream, about Vanuatu, Belize,
climate change: ``NOW PLAYING -- JUST 2 DEGREES A rise of just two
degrees in average temperatures means catastrophe for planet Earth.
TRT World looks at the cold, hard truths behind a warming planet``
https://www.trtworld.com/live-stream

[and non] However at 2002 check Jan 1, 6050.003+ into UTwente is //
the TRTWorld livestream report about the New Orleans truck attack. It
seems this channel is not particularly focused on Turkey, and not
unusual to hear American accents. By 2017 they are separate again.
2023 cut to fragment of VOT IS and chopoff, uncovering what else?
Chinese, 2027 playing ``Let It Be``. Clearly the TRT TV audio
programming source cannot fit well into the previous SW English hours!
And I bet the TV folx are not about to pay any attention to SW turns
on and off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Jan 1 at 2300, NO signal direct from TRT, nor at
2312, but there is algo on 9610, maybe overrun; I no longer have
interest in keeping track of those (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, WTWW situation, not heard for a few days? ``Glenn,
The driver solid state amplifier went out, I replaced the final IC and
it ran for only one hour and died. The back up amplifier lasted for
only 5 minutes. I am waiting on parts from China. I expect we will be
down at least for a week. George McClintock 1-1-2025`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 6160-, Jan 1 at 0742, no signal from WBCQ. This transmitter
had been weakened, and on Dec 28, `AAAWWW` said The Overcomer would no
longer be on it this year. Sked indeed does not show any of that now:
http://wbcq.com/schedule/index.php?fn=sked&freq=6160
but I`m not sure it properly did before. TOMBS only shows at various
hours on 7490. The question is, what programming if any remains on
6160; Area 51? And who is that voice we hear when not running very
stale tapes of deceased Brother Scare? TOM website mentions a ``Pastor
Rice``. Another check at 2200 Jan 1, no signal from 6160 into Maryland
SDR, let alone direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15825, Jan 1 at 1555, NO signal from WWCR-1, while at 1559
the others are: 13845 JBA, 12160 signing on loud, 9980 loud. John
Jurasek reported on Dec 31 that WWCR had taken #1 off the air
completely, no longer 15825, 6115, or 3215! And the updated
transmitter and program skeds now show that:
https://www.wwcr.com/transmitter-sched.html
https://www.wwcr.com/program-guides/WWCR_Program_Guide.pdf

This has led to lots of programming changes, some of the #1 ones moved
to the others. Alan Roe observes that many of the music shows have
been cut. I see that `The Talking [sic] Machine Show` is still on
there, Sats 1800-1830 on 12160. At 2316 Jan 1, no signal on 6115
direct. Why take this drastic step? #1 transmitter seemed to have been
OK, in fact cleaner than the others. I hear that WWCR profits have
been plummeting, so taking one transmitter completely down should help
the bottom line (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
