** 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.

Also confirmed January 3 at 2341 on SW Radio, Germany, 3975.002+,
S6/S7 but poor into UTwente. Much better and fully readable into
