** ALASKA. 9550, Dec 29 at 1538, hymn at S8/S9. KNLS listed this hour
in Russian (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9819.106, Dec 29 at 0725, JBA carrier from R. Nove de
Julho. That`s all I ever hear from this overnight station, but no
doubt about it due to offset frequency. Gary Pence found a fine signal
into an Argentine remote and recorded the ID at 0600, which is heard
on WOR 2171; frequency display exactly the same as I measured it
independently. Claimed to be on ``9820`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5024, Dec 29 at 0737, Rebelde ID in passing, S9+10/20 but
distorted. Someone mispunched instead of 5025; even worse for 5020
Solomons listeners, Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11670, Dec 29 at 0729, RHC news in Spanish, S9/+10, the SSOB
by far with only a few JBA carriers elsewhere on 25m. This one is
supposed to off much earlier and has been caught before in unscheduled
English, Only one other lower RHC is still on:

6165, Dec 29 at 0730, S8/S9 of dead air, only RHC still on except
11670. Somethings` always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9710, 11760, 13700 and no spurs, 15140, 15230, Dec 29 at
1534-1543, all these RHC active again initially with // piano music
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Dec 29 at 0744, R. Kiribati the only 9 kHz
split JBA MW carrier audible now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO
2171)

** MEXICO. 6185, Dec 29 at 0733, XEPPM is S7/S9, good modulation,
soprano in English with ``I know that my redeemer liveth``. Let us
classify as a bit of classical among eclectic format rather than
conversion to gospehuxterism. One redeeming aspect of religionism is
the great music it has inspired, even for the Secular (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Dec 29 at 0735, VON turned on at S5/S7 but dead air
or JBM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 255 MCW kHz, Dec 29 at 1535 UT, SW, StillWater is still
ON; 350, RG, OKC, is still OFF (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PHILIPPINES. 9275, Dec 29 at 1536, VG in Chinese. FEBC Bocaue
registered 100 kW, 1000-1600 at 345 degrees, i.e. NNW. I would have
guessed NNE more USward like Tinang. Apparently the ChiCom do not
bother to jam this (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2170 monitoring: From: Richard
Lemke, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, the desk of Richard’s listening
Post, Radio: JRC NRD-535 HF. Antenna: random long wires in the trees.

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330v, Dec 29 at 1537, WLCR/WBCQ-6 is still/again off.
Latest twit from AW does not explain but mentions 6160 and 5130 only.
Needs to hire engineers who can fix things (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, Dec 29 at 0738, PPP at S9+30/40 about something in
year 1991, as WTWW reusage of 5085 is expanding, maybe all-night.
Still with the JBA carrier spurs plus/minus 12.9 kHz (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. Tnx to the reactivation of K17JN-D, Enid`s only TV station,
3ABN-TV, I was finally able to view their show about Adventist World
Radio, at 0430-0500 UT Dec 29. Due to the SW angle, I felt obliged to
take note of it, but as expected it was heavy on piety and light on
the facts. They imagine there is a Devil always trying to mess things
up. A disclaimer at the start that names had been changed, and the
people shown are not the real ones in the conversion tales told: in
other words, it`s all a dramatization even tho overlooking the
disclaimer you might think otherwise. There were three stories of
people who by chance happened to hear AWR and wound up being thrown
into the water. Very little about AWR itself, but a world map showed
stations everywhere, including all over China, which I find hard to
believe (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Dec 29 t 0726, RV is VP S6/S8, JBA in HNL. Have
stuck here for quite a while; when back to 3945 which can harmonicize
to 7890 & 11835? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2171)

Note: previous report dates should have been subjected Dec 26-27-28,

** ALASKA. Re: [WOR] HAARP Asteroid Bounce Experiment --- If I had
read thru the linked publicity about it first, I might not have
remarked about a publicity stunt. They indicate HF signals can
penetrate better below the surface than radar. Here`s more via IRCA
iog from Russ Edmunds Dec 27:

``Scientists plan to hit an asteroid with more than 9.6 million radio
waves from HAARP``
https://interestingengineering.com/science/hitting-an-asteroid-with-radio-waves
Hey, that`s a lot more impressive than ``9.6 MHz``! Yet the article
keeps referring to it as ``low-frequency`` rather than standard
scientific nomenclature, high-frequency. Low, only by comparison
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Wed Dec 28, LRA36 check via favorite
Argentine remote, shared with someones in Los Ángeles and Essen, finds
it S9 with song prélude at 1457 tune-in. 1501.5 standard canned s/on
with multi-lingual advisory that it`s monolingual, staff names; 1503
themesong, recitation and another song as I am distracted by
breakfast. 1513 live YLs as programa 38, last one of the 2022 cycle,
but I can`t make out whether there will be a break next few weeks as
likely. 1518.5 mentions 17 dic 1952 = base founding? Signal now fading
down, and chops off at 1520.7* never to return by 1540 when I quit.

Earlier I had also tried to get the webcast via
https://www.radionacional.com.ar/
Antarctica is at the bottom, appropriately of the drop-down at
Emisoras:
which goes to this but only an error message:
https://vmf.edge-apps.net/embed/live.php?streamname=sc_rad32-100131&autoplay=true

Also got this: ``Hi, Glenn: ANTARCTICA. This Wednesday‘s broadcast
which I‘ve heard via an Argentine SDR as usually popped up at 1456 UT
amid a typical LA song. Strength was quite strong until 1516 when the
signal disappeared unfortunately. It didn’t reappear until tune-out at
1540. Let‘s hope for a longer session this coming Saturday. Bye from
Germany, Joachim Kornek, Dortmund`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. Dec 28 at 0724, no SWBC frequencies active on 4, 5, 6, 9, 10
MHz -- but the jammers against nothing on 5, 6, 7 and 9 MHz bands are
still pounding! Ivo Ivanov has concluded that the main Bauta site is
totally down, while some RHC frequencies attributed to Quivicán are
still running. Something`s very wrong at RadioCuba.

From 2334 Dec 28 I spot check some known RHC and CRI relay frequencies
at the NH remote: OFF: 11760, 6000, 15230, 13680, 11670; ON: 13650,
11850 suptorted, 5990 VG; algo on 9710 unseems Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** EGYPT. 9439.995, Dec 28 at 2210, another day with no signal, no
loss, no English from egregious R. Cairo (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KIRITIMATI. 846, Dec 28 at 0728, JBA carrier, so R. Kiribati is on;
no other 9/kHz splits detected (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 13755, Dec 28 at 0727, RNZP is S9/+10; yet hardly
anything audible one band down on 11 MHz. Of course the S Hemisphere
part of the path is at high summer (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Dec 28 at 0721, VON with S9/+10 of dead air. More
reliably on lately, if only they could figure out how to modulate it
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 255 MCW kHz, Dec 28 at 0745 UT, SW, 25-watt NDB at
StillWater, is back! After chex every day or night, had been missing
starting Dec 12. 350, RG at OKC, still off (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Dec 28 at 2315, Token English from REE about a
bill pending in congress to allow people to choose their gender of
record; and about Trans- and LGBTQ rights in general; how right wing
and Catholix are opposed; even some feminist groups. VG into NH SDR
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.000+, Dec 28 after 2300, VOT English VG into UTwente,
but soon pumping fading caused by XJPBS carrier slightly different SAH
frequency, and almost as annoying as its modulation added later.
Approx. 2320-2330, `Weekly Commentary`, same one as heard before about
Scottish separatism. It may be weekly, but broadcast more than one day
per week. 2353 recheck, drifted up to 5960.002, signing off and a bit
of IS until cutoff at 2355* uncovering East Turkistan, std
denunciation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2170 monitoring: confirmed UT Wednesday
December 28 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+32 into Missouri SDR.

Via Bill Tilford, WBCQ advises that the 7490 transmitter is
temporarily off the air, so its programming has been moved to 5130,
most of it before 0300 so not conflicting with Radio Angela. So that
means our next WOR should also be on 5130 instead of 7490:

2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW [5130 instead temporarily]

Yes, it was: JBA carrier on 5130 direct; poor S8/9+10 and noisy into
VA SDR showing -21 Hz; but VG S9+5/15 into NH SDR at -14 Hz. Next:

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

Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts:

Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702

One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to:
woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5130-, UT Wed Dec 28 at 0100, WBCQ 7490 programming
temporarily here while the 7490- transmitter is out of order.
Confirmed as on sked, the South Sudan Messianic who wants to put a SW
station on air there, ``Operation Nehemiah Missions With Messianic
Rabbi William Levi``. Copy is tough because of his accent and some
overmodulation distortion. 7490 webcast was restored after dead air
there too, but will it still be running even tho SW is on 5130? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330v, Dec 28 at 2216, WBCQ-6/WLCR is still/again off. No
twits from AW to explain this now nor 7490 downage (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** VANUATU. 7260, Dec 28 at 0722, JBA carrier reconfirming RV is still
here instead of 5040 or 3945 and harmonix (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1610.65 kHz, Dec 28 at 0733, JBA carrier again as het to
1610.00 CHHA Toronto; I ask again, is anyone else hearing it? (Glenn
Hauser OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5051, Dec 28 at 0726, S7/S9 open carrier still here. Ron
Howard has also been hearing it. Maybe not SWBC but an idle ute, such
as RTTY on standby (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
