** CUBA [and non]. 9700, Dec 27 at 0650, RHC English, music mixing
about equal level with TRT Turkish, making a fast SAH, nearing end of
a 3-hour collision when RHC leaps to here instead of 6165, where there
are also collisions, with NHK. Something`s always wrong at RHC. I
won`t say ``awry at Ankara`` since VOT is duly registered here, but if
they were really on the ball would avoid Cuba whether official or not
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13636 & 13764 approx., Dec 27 at 1603, S9 FMish extremely
distorted spurblobs, with F# tone and some program modulation, out of
13700 RHC which is S9+10 but itself undermodulated; just in time as
all cut off late at 1604.5*. No time to seek second-orders at 2 x 64
kHz further out. Something`s always wrong at RHC; but it`s been a
while since these have upshown (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9700, Dec 28 at 0315, RHC English here not 6165, only S5-S7
during Chief Meterologist slot. The other side:

``CORRUPTION --- The campaign against GAESA hotels is not anti-Cuban
Prime Minister Manuel Marrero grumbles about the losses from the
campaign to boycott tourism to Cuba.
Juan Antonio Blanco, Miami 24 Dic 2021 - 17:19 CET

On December 17 Prime Minister Manuel Marrero condemned "a media
campaign against tourism in Cuba," in reference to the call to boycott
tourist trips to the island, but his whining about how the losses that
this campaign inflicts on "Cuba" and the "Cuban tourism industry"
constitutes a botched charade. What is Manuel Marrero's role as Prime
Minister? ...``

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9899.598v, Dec 27 at 2123, S9+20/30 of dead air in English
into UTwente, and way off-frequency from 9900, R. Cairo still wasting
its kW by failing to feed from studio to transmitter - weakest link
syndrome. At 2200 however I do detect a trace of timesignal a few
seconds late. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** PUERTO RICO. 391 MCW kHz, numerous beacon bandscans last 5+ weeks
have not found any signal from San Juan / Dorado, DDP, allegedly 2 or
even 3 kW, since I did log it once on November 16. It used to be
regular last winter. But RNA shows it last logged by someone on
2021-12-25 (Glenn Hauser, OK, Dec 28, WOR)

** TAIWAN. 9690, Mon Dec 27 at 1612, poor signal in Japanese, not //
12030 where REE Spain is strong off the back from ME beam. It`s
clandestine Furusato no Kaze from Japan via 300 kW, 2 degrees from
Paochung for Korea North, daily at 1600-1630 -- certainly enough to
QRM the weak REE signal when it starts at 1500 weekends, but not until
1900 weekdays, the so-called North American service. Also, CGTN
Bengali via Kunming is on 9690 at 1500-1600. Standard remark about REE
frequency mismanagement (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9700: see CUBA [and non]

** U S A. 9975, Dec 28 at 0309, zero signal from KVOH, off the air,
holiday break? Or is it propagation. WRMIs and other USignals on 9 MHz
band are JBA at best, even 9330, but WRMI still VG on 7570. Amazingly
there are no KiwiSDRs in the Los Ángeles area to confirm it on
groundwave; the nearest is San Diego where would not expect to hear it
anyway, and I do not at 0354 check. WWV also JBA on 10000, but by
email as of 0300 says K index 2, SF 124, no storms, which ought to
mean sufficient conditions (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1130 kHz, Dec 27 at 1950 & 2046 UT chex, KLEY Wellington KS
once again has reverted to continuous air that is dead. In past has
also let this run all-night 24 hours obviously on 250 watt day power
rather than licensed one watt night. Tough luck, KWKH! Anyhow, the
electric bill must be negligible. Something`s always wrong at
Rockin`-M Media - based on a cattle brand logo (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 1690 kHz, Dec 27 at 2052 UT, talk station pausing for WVON
ID/promos, and fading down. Skywave already in play from Chicago into
the E-W longwire here and not much other X-band activity able to
overcome the high local noise level. Nothing even on 1700 and a little
KC/MO starting to show on 1660. CoL Berwyn IL which is 658 statute
miles = 1029 km away (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED [and non?]. 9950, 9960, 9965, 9970, Dec 27 at 0652, JBA
carriers on all of these while TOMBS on WRMI is very strong on 9955,
splashing at least upon 9950. What could these be? Both EiBi and Aoki
have nothing on any except 9970 CNR1 jamming and Sound of Hope! The
always incomplete and misleading HFCC shows `HBN` PALAU on 9965, 24
hours, but we know that`s merely available, their true usage much less
than that but possibly changed to include this time and day? BTW, HFCC
attributes 9965 to ``Republic of Palau`` rather than that ministry in
West Virginia which now owns & runs it. I suspect 9950 & 9960 most
likely be 5 kHz parasitic spurs out of WRMI 9955, just like they
constantly produce on 4975 from the 4980 transmitter, and now an even
weaker one also detectable on 4985 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15230, Dec 26 at 2325, RHC is S9 but just barely modulated in
Brazuguese. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY [and non]. P.P.S. to the Gruss an Bord saga, in the WOR
iog: ``WRMI initially went to music after an ID at 2100 UT but they
joined the Gruss an Bord church service some minutes later. WRMI
carried the whole last hour and at least the beginning of the news
bulletin/program starting at 2200. Could only listen for a minute past
22:00 as the Christmas Eve dinner was on the table. Merry Christmas
and Happy Holidays to all. -- Richard Langley``

``No such shortwave relay between 2100 and 2200 was booked at all. I
they did it for the reasons I suspect: I doubt that it saved
anything.

Anyway, I meanwhile got it confirmed that indeed in the old format
until last year the last round of recorded greetings went out via NDR
Info Spezial only. And the accidental shortwave relay of the
children`s programming is particularly ironic: Until last year it was
part of the FM program schedule and then thrown out there as part of
the reformatting.

Their farewell from FM was a masterpiece of the genre to spice
children`s programming with satire and sarcasm for adults. Those who
understand German should not miss it, it's a miracle that no one did
prevent it from being broadcast.

** ITALY. 207 kHz, Dec 26 at 2103.7 tune-in via Noale SDR, immediately
hear S S S, 3 Morse dots repeated several times, then long talk in
Italian, unreadable. It`s S6 with fast SAH, Iceland? Carrier offset
up to 1 Hz minus. So AM Italia is still commemorating the Marconi
anniversary, a biweek after the original date December 12 (Glenn
Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** PERU [and non]. 4808.81V, Dec 27 at 0025, Santiago, Chile SDR lox
onto a JBA carrier here, after Lúcio Otávio Bobrowiec, Brasil tipped
the WOR iog: ``Hi all. R. Logos is on at 0005 UT on 4808 (to avoid
noise on 4810). Religious music. 73 Lucio Brasil``

My recheck via same SDR at 0148 finds it on 4808.83V. Meanwhile,
direct at 0127, the only carrier I can detect is very close to
4810.00. There is no longer any other known broadcaster, like India,
around 4810. The noise is this per EiBi:
``4810.1 0000-2400 Martinique FUF French Navy STANAG F Car u``
but the bulk of it is above 4811. At 0155 I check another SDR,
Brasília #1, and hear S3/S5 the religious music past 0202, no ID
break, but displays only ~5 Hz below 4810.000. Must listen in LSB to
avoid the STANAG (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2118 monitoring: as usual I zzz
thru the Sun Dec 26 airing at 1330 on WMRI Europe via Channel 292,
Germany. Did anyone hear it?

Confirmed Sunday December 26 from 2100.7 on IRRS Shortwave via AM
Italia, 918 kHz, S9+19 into nearby Noale SDR. Way over interference.

Also confirmed Sun Dec 26 at 2341, the 2330 on WRMIs, 5950 S9+25 into
Knoxville SDR, 9955 S9+10 and much less loud with some jamming; and
still no signal on 4980.

Also confirmed UT Monday December 27 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, S9+20 to
Missouri SDR.

Also confirmed UT Monday December 27 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, S9/+10
direct.

Also confirmed UT Monday December 27 at 0230 on WRN N America webcast

Also confirmed UT Monday December 27 at 0400 on Area 51 via WBCQ
6160-, minus 55 Hz offset at Maryland SDR = 6159.945, S5-S6. Just
before 0429, my final words after ``concluding ----`` chopped off for
HRI to start. What`s the big hurry??? At least no RHC ACI tonight
since it`s on 9700 instead of 6165, but from *0430 HRI gets ACI from
NHK Russian via Nauen, Germany. NHK is scheduled on 6165 until 0500*
and again *0600-0630 in Arabic via France. Next WORs:

2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [jammed?]
1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW

** BRAZIL. 9666.388, Dec 26 at 0711, R. Voz Missionária, music could
be secular, S4/S5. Dec 24 it was at .385, so in 48 hours it drifted up
only 3 Hz, contrary to my calculation based on previous bimonth
averaging 4.8 Hz per day. We`ll see how it average out over a week or
so (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 362 MCW kHz, Dec 26 at 0725 UT, dash and SB, 500 watt NDB
at Greater Sudbury, Ontario.

300 MCW kHz, Dec 26 at 0728 UT, dash and YIV, 500 watt NDB at Island
Lake, Manitoba, almost 54 degrees N latitude. Two of the less common
Canux; unlike regulars I seldom relog, YXL 346 Sioux Lookout, and
always strongest WG 248 Winnipeg (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 13740, Dec 25 at 2308, S9+40 of dead air from RHC,
same with some hum on 15230, S9+5. Spanish succeeds but suptorted on
15370, S9/+20. Something`s always wrong at RHC. But 13650 CRI
``Portuguese`` of Chinese music only is VG S9+30 way over the Japan
CCI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 12000, Dec 26 at 0704, RHC English S6/S8, sufficient, as 2 x
6000 which is S9+10/20. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9700, Dec 26 at 0709, RHC still on here instead of 6165 and
in Spanish instead of English, S5/S7. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 25, 9-2, KWTV news playback Dec 25 about another sound

88.3 sign for FM frequency. Continues until 12/31 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 12030, Dec 25 at 1610, REE with ``Jingle Bells Rock`` in
English, during Spanish program; 1612 introducing a Boston Pops
medley; S8/9+10 much better off the back of ME beam, than on 9690
thisaway, LUHF/OWF trumping azimuth. REE really needs a Propagation
101 lesson (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Dec 25 at 2313, VOT English employing the
just-barely-modulated transmitter yet S9/+25. Something`s always
erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non]. In previous report about WOR, Friday Dec 24, I wrote
wrong frequency for interference, 7290 instead of 7295. That portion
repaired:

I had started listening to both about 1903, when 7290 seemed dead air
at S8 with heavy ChiCom ACI de 7295 unless LSB-tuned; but 918 VG S9+18
with `Feature Story News`...
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2118 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
December 25 at 1700 on WRN North America webcast.

Also confirmed starting at 2052 Sat Dec 25 the 2030v on WA0RCR, 1860
AM, Wentzville MO, VG S9+10 into nearby Warrenton SDR.

Also confirmed UT Sunday December 26 at 0030 on WRMI 5950, S9+20/30
direct, and about two words behind on WRMI 7730 S9/+30.

Note, from next week/month/year, the UT Sun 0030 WOR on 5950 is to be
replaced by something else, which looks interesting:

now. I sometimes hear traces, usually nothing at all. Also Dec 26 at
1609, all too brief piano music before back to g.h., S9 (Glenn Hauser,

** U S A [non]. 11610, Dec 25 at 1607, talk in unknown language, S9-S5

11830, Dec 25 at 1609, similar fluttery signal to 11610. That`s

U S A  6115, Dec 23 at *2159, WWCR-1 is back on this frequency,
just signing on and 2200 into Spanish, as I tune in during WORLD OF
RADIO 2118 recording. Notice about 6115 & 3215 being off the air has
been removed from website. Span here is 22-02 UT. No 6114 RTTY audible
now, but WWCR so strong that could block, or discourage, it.
3215, Dec 24 at 0735, other WWCR-1 frequency is also back, with TOMBS,
S9+10/20. Span is 02-12 UT. Harold Frodge, MI, had heard 3215 as early
as 0202 UT Dec 23.
4840, Dec 24 at 0735, this WWCR is S9+20/30 of dead air instead of
TOMBS; happens all too frequently; or rather, make that: not
frequently enough. 5890 still going with S9+40 of BS; and 5935 PMS
hitting S9+50!
