Logs
** CUBA [and non]. 9700, Dec 18 at 0650, JBA music not // RHC so must
be Turkey, but RHC not on alternates 6165 or 6145 either. It is still
on in English 5040, 6000, 6060 with buzz, and 6100 just barely
modulated. Somethings` always wrong at RHC. At 0659 I notice that 5040
has switched to Spanish, despite no Spanish scheduled anywhere after
0600. Something else wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Dec 18 at 1606, RHC Spanish S9/S7 with humbuzz.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAMAICA. 18157.5 USB, Dec 18 at 1603, 6Y6Y concluding contact with
a W7 who says he is QSYing away; then 6Y6Y worx some more simplex.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6919.978 AM, Dec 18 at 1613, JBA music, presumed the
very active pirate seemingly in western N America, Radio Pushka. Which
means rifle in Bulgarian, or more generically, gun in Russian (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 11840, Dec 18 at 1820, no signal from Station YHWH,
anti-Christ pirate; nor anything like it elsewhere on 25m. He used to
be fairly active but not always, middays, especially weekends? If
anyone could have heard, Rick Barton in AZ, but his last report of
Josiah was exactly four weeks ago, Sat Nov 20 until 1811*. On Sept 5,
7 and 8 he was using 9700, 9720, 9775 in the 1440/1755 period, so we
should look around those too. Night frequency 7475 last reported Nov
6; previously quite active on 7470 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2117 monitoring: barely confirmed Dec 18 the
UT Sat 0230 on 9395 WRMI; at 0242, JBA carrier direct; trace at
Missouri remote reading S5, and nothing to Winnipeg; slightly better
to northern Utah, S3-S4, enough to be sure it`s my voice if not
recognize it as current edition, but surely it is. Hope there was
sufficient reception somewhere, but the MUF tends to plummet after
dark in the swamp; yet in the nightmiddle it`s often back up, e.g.
9955 good around 0700.

Also confirmed Sat Dec 18 at 1700 on WRN for N America webcast.

Also confirmed starting at 2032 UT Sat Dec 18 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM MO,
S9+10 into nearby KB0FX remote. Next:

Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary
support. Thanks this week to William T. Hassig, Mt. Prospect, IL, for
a Winter Solstice contribution on a US bank to:
Glenn Hauser, PO 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. (7490.9v), UT Sat Dec 18 at 0100, WBCQ webcast not even
trying SW for `AAAWWW`. Unusually starts with a rock tune, but it`s
really A&A, not TimTron. Most of hour consumed with discussion of AM
Radio, and SW, whether they have a future? Maybe will last another ten
years.

Mentions that Angela`s maiden(previous?) name was Milberry (sp?) and
she grew up in Toronto, not NB. 0132 some brief anti-government remarx
implying that Pres. Biden is a criminal; and that COVID-19 is a
bio-weapon by China [but, but, why would they want to kill so many of
their own people and countless customers elsewhere?]. Allan does
advocate vaccination.

Would like to get a used solid-state transmitter for their 780 station
in Maine as electric bill for tube-type keeps going up. 0138 finally
datestamp at 17 of December YOOLF 2021.

For 9330 transmitter, staff have found a way to regulate the
temperature of water cooling the big final amplifier tube, heat
exchanger, bypass valve; needs to be not too hot, not too cold, circa
90-100 F. Also they are finally about to get the backup Diesel
generator on line, capable of 2 megawatts at 4160 volts, 3-phase.
Testing it Wednesday caused some interruptions in 9330. Needs to have
it available when commercial power is flickering as in storms, not
good for the transmitters.

Now on 7490, 6160, 4790; maybe will get 3265 back on ``sometime this
summer`` [as if we are already into `this` winter], but have no
clients for it [you would if you moved the 7490 ones there for dark
low-MUF winter nights!].

Seeing lots of sunspots checked on their solar-scope daily, so
propagation is looking up. NO phone calls interrupting, and only a
couple emails at 0157; 0159 prayer, and almost 0201 JIP Hal Turner.
John Carver`s version:

Tonight's show started on time on 4790, 6160 and 7490. 6160 was
listenable this evening for a change and 7490 was plagued with heavy
interference that sounded like Hams on SSB. Allan and Angela in the
studio. Program opened with a song about AM radio. Opening chatter
about the song quickly changing to talk about AM radio in general. At
0120 Allan read an article on radio listening in the world which
revealed that more people outside the US listen to radio than the
people living here. Fewer smart speakers used world wide than here
also. After that the talk returned to AM radio.

A bit later Allan mentioned that they had made some modifications to
the transmitter at the superstation. Including some changes to the
cooling system so that in winter slightly warmer water would be pumped
to cool the tube to keep from pumping freezing water onto a hot tube
which would lead to problems with the tube. He also announced that
they have finally completed work on the backup generator for the new
transmitter. He stated that the brief outages recently of the
transmitter had to do with checking the backup power source. He also
said that on backup power the transmitter would be receiving slightly
less power than normal.

Reading of a few emails at 0157 and closing prayer at 0159. Program
was off at 0200. John, Mid-North Indiana`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 720 kHz, Dec 18 at 1619 UT, WGN Chicago still in well by
skywave with `Home Sweet Home` DIY show on ``AM 720``, 312 AC. This is
161 minutes after Enid SR at 1338 UT.

670 bears a SAH between weaker signals of 76/minute or 1.27 Hz, no
doubt KLTT and WSCR. MWoffsets shows WSCR as exact and KLTT as 1.8 Hz
plus (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1130 kHz, Dec 18 at 1617 UT, KLEY Wellington KS is still
musicking at steady S9+10, as it was on bandscan yesterday and another
later today, instead of usual dead air (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Another low-noon MW bandscan attempt to find a quiet spot in
or near Enid, this time driving along Southgate on the SE corner of
Enid, a little further from 960 & 1390. But even dirt sideroads have
powerlines along them, and major line along Southgate is very noisy.
At spots part of the MW band may be clean, but not the rest of it. One
which is good below 1200 is on a curve to the south by Woodring
Airport -- maybe the standing waves happen to cancel out there? From
there and an earlier stop between 1908 and 1923 UT Dec 18, paying less
attention to frequencies/stations I noted yesterday:

650, C&W music, likely WSM Nashville, fast SAH likely KGAB Wyoming
700, song, medium SAH, probably Metroplex TX and WLW?
720, only trace of a SAH now from WGN and KSAH
850, Spanish, so KJON TX not KOA Denver, which can make it on GW to
the north side of Enid
990, Spanish much stronger, so KFCD TX
1050, rumble SAH from the two Okies, one way off frequency
1090, music and medium SAH. KEXS near KC/MO is not unusual, the other
maybe KAAY LR/AR, skywave since its GW coverage is poor
1200+ high noise level, but:
1340, KGHM MWC/OKC is dead air at 1923

After this, heading home, I rest my ears on the dead air of 960 KGWA,
and the tail wagging the dog, 100.9 translator, from 1934 UT until
finally cut on during ad at 1959; was no one paying attention? What to
do about paid advertisers, refund, make-good, or hope no one but y.t.
notice? Non-ID as ``Talk 100.9 KGWA``, but then full legal ID with
translator call and 960, but the static RDS on FM shows ``KGWA-FM``
which is *not* its real callsign. Into Fox ``news`` on the hour, but
1906 back to dead air!

Sob, this is the station pushing far-right extremist talkshows, such
as Lush Rambo for as long as he lasted. KGWA owner is also behind the
Big Deal local promotion in downtown Enid of ``world`s tallest Xmas
tree`` --- except it`s not a single tree but several stuck together,
which have been blown apart by high winds, and repaired.

My next holiday project: check out the three locations in western Enid
which have featured music & light shows on Part 15 FM frequencies in
years past (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

https://diariodecuba.com/cuba/1639684701_36251.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13680, Dec 17 at 2121, the inimitable Brazuguese style of
RHC, S8/S9+10 and undermodulated. Official sked has this on 15370 for
Europe, but NO RHC frequencies are active on 19m. I do recall 13680
used in seasons past. EiBi shows nothing anywhen on 13680; Aoki shows
CNR1 jamming and SOH from 2200. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, Dec 17 at 2128, RHC French, S9+5/20 but distorted and
hummy. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9899.587, Dec 17 at 2158, into UTwente R. Cairo S9+25 but
scratchy just-barely modulation; let play in background and noticed
noise jump when it cut off at 2246*. Had it earlier circa 2120 direct
as JBA carrier only on about 9899.6. Something`s always egregious in
Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ITALY [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO is preëmpted as expected on third
Fridays, from IRRS 7290 via Bulgaria, and AM Italia 918, but I check
anyway for their other frequencies, Dec 17 at 1920, tune-in via Noale
SDR to 918 kHz, first sounds like QRM but just in time for ``Radio
City, the station of the cars`` ID. 1323 kHz is supposed to be its
next frequency, but would it have to be the same transmitter?
Something else there now. LW 207 kHz has JBA non-// talk, Iceland?
UTwente is getting 7290 well but not the harmonic on 14580.

207 kHz, Dec 17 at 2146 UT, now via Noale, I detect S S S in Morse, so
it`s *still* playing the Dec 12 special loop, then talk which Fabrizio
Magrone says was a recording of Marconi himself. SDR is getting a
stronger het from 207.646 kHz, birdie? See also USA: WOR monitoring
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN. 7445, Dec 17 at 0704, S9/+10 of ``Moon River``, a station
not dedicated to news on the hour, 0705 Japanese YL. Aoki shows KBS
World Radio this hour in Korean via Woofferton! But I`m sure it`s
Japanese. O, another Aoki entry for NHK direct from Yamata in Japanese
at 0655-0900, so no sign of WOF. HFCC also shows them both but to very
diverse targets (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 11940, Dec 17 at 2130, NO signal on REE to S America, but
the other three are audible in Spanish overlain by autotimesignal:
11670 S5/S6, 12030 S8/S9, 9690 S9+25/35. Something`s always
nonsensical at Noblejas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Dec 17 at 2300, VOT is S9+30/40 with good
modulation except for a light squeal into UTwente, opening English
claiming this is the Friday 1330 broadcast on 12035! So they play it
back for the rest of the day, but why don`t they account for this in
announcements? Something`s always awry at Ankara. 2326 recheck `Did
You Know?` segment about a Museum of Cheese. I must say that VOT comes
up with some oddball topix. Plays IS loop after signoff announcement,
but as soon as a German ID is inserted, cut off the air at 2356.5,
uncovering Chinese from East Turkistan, land of imperialist ChiCom
genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems -- so no bonus German hour
today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U K [non]. BBC World News America, via PBS and delayed an hour on
OETA, Dec 17 at 2323 UT has a reporter asserting that North Korea is
``tiny, impoverished`` --- NO, and yes: THE TINY TRAP (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 11720, Dec 17 at 2127, Afro pop music at S9+33, the only
hour per day when Greenville airs VOA in English, mostly music every
day but never anything beyond narrow pop, mostly African, especially
Fridays, `Music Time in Africa`. Achieves bigsig here almost due west
off the back of beam almost due east. It`d be interesting to know what
percentage of 250 kW be ``wasted`` on us (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2117 monitoring: confirmed first
broadcasts UT Friday December 17 at 0130 on WRMIs: 7780, S9+5/20 into
UTwente, 5850 VG direct. However, very intrusive couple seconds of
music between ID and WOR start; and a few seconds at end lost by
automation overlap which we have supposedly compensated for by at
least 2 seconds of silence at end of WOR files.

Also confirmed UT Fri Dec 17 at 0330 on WRMI 5985, JBA to Brasil SDR
where it`s aimed, fair to Maryland SDR off the back.

Also confirmed Fri Dec 17 at 1530 on WRMI 9955, new time, S9/+10
direct and no jamming audible.

Not confirmed Dec 17 at 1915 on IRRS 7290 and AM Italia 918, since
it`s the third Friday preëmpted for Radio City; see ITALY [and non].

Confirmed Fri Dec 17 at 2144 the 2130 on AM Italia, 918 kHz, Villa
Estense, S9+10 over QRM presumably Madrid. Was not listening at 2158*
when they chopped off my last minute last week. Not on 207 kHz. Next:

0230 UT Saturday WRMI 9395 to NNW

a Winter Solstice contribution on a US bank to:
Glenn Hauser, PO 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 [and non]. 15770, Dec 17 at 1604, this WRMI is back on
already after yesterday`s crash, with SMTV cult, S9+10. 9455, however
is still off but at this time occupied by Chinese with SAH, i.e. CNR1
jamming and RFA Chinese via Saipan, per Aoki this hour only on M/W/F.
While the other WRMI, 9395 achieves S9/+10.

15770 also on Dec 17 at 2115, with Xmas stuff from R. Prague in
English. Jeff White says 15770 resumed later on Dec 16. Still no 9455
at 2132 but JBA carrier which would be ChiCom jamming and/or RFA
Chinese via Kuwait (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15610, Dec 17 at 2125, JBA carrier direct, surely WEWN
English. Meant to check a remote whether it`s still horribly squealy
like last time, but did not get around to it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Low noon MW bandscan, December 17 at 1834-1840 UT, just
after local mean noon at 1832; from the open kite field in northern
Enid. Convenient but not the best spot, since there is still line
noise in parts of the band, far from any power lines. I almost
postponed it because of storms in E Oklahoma, but found only
occasional crashes were not a problem. It`s also too close to my 960 &
1390 locals, about equidistant between their sites, desensitizing some
20 kHz above and below each on the caradio. As expected, there are
some signs of skywave remnants, altho extended groundwave may be hard
to differentiate. I concentrate only on the `open` frequencies.

530, SAH between two JBA signals; one would be HAR/TIS in S Kansas
560, Missouri, Springfield mentioned, KWTO; CCI probably KLZ Denver
600, JBA and SAH, probably WMT IA and KTBB TX
630, JBA and SAH, probably KHOW Denver and KYFI* St Louis
670, CCI slow SAH: KLTT Denver always, adding WSCR Chicago
720, CCI medium SAH, KSAH TX and WGN IL. No others remotely possible
830, JBA probably WCCO
840+, line noise level kix up! Only a few obs:
1130, KLEY Wellington KS modulating music!! After weeks, 24h dead air
1250, Spanish, so KYYS Kansas City KS is making it
1660, algo, so KWOD Kansas City KS
1690, talk in English, sounds like WVON Berwyn-Chicago, skywave!

Must try somewhen/where else. A potential fence beverage site is NW of
Enid near the SH 45/152 junxion (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

CUBA. 6165, Dec 17 at 0657, RHC English back here instead of 9700,
S9+20; at 0659 "Ed Newman" announcing the end of the second hour, so
if on after 0700 it would be the first hour rerererepeated.
Something's always wrong at RHC; alternating 9700/6165? The Other
Side:

Cubans died of Covid-19, many without receiving medical care, the
regime was spending millions of dollars to build the Fidel Castro Ruz
