** ASCENSION. I am unusually bandscanning between 05 & 06 UT Dec 27,
so some `new` frequencies catch my attn on 49m, in unknown language:
6170 at 0525 and 6135 at 0538. HFCC shows both are in Hausa, half an
hour each, VOA first and BBC second. Convenient pair, could be same
transmitter? Both are on a 547 antenna, but VOA is 250 kW at 27
degrees, and BBC is 125 kW at 65 degrees - quite a disparity. 65 aims
at the SE corner of Nigeria, but 27 aims at Ivory Coast considerably
to the west of any Nigeria. HFCC antenna reference shows 547 is
``EHR(S)2/2/0.8`` whatever that mean.

Hausa is a language for which I have no ``feel`` at all - there must
be some keywords to recognize it, like however they say ``this is`` as
in an ID. Did Dr Richard E Wood`s language recognition series ever
cover Hausa? Don`t call me Hausar. Google translates ``This is the
Voice of America`` as ``Wannan ita ce Muryar Amurka`` but I don`t know
if they axually say that. It`s mainly spoken in northern Nigeria but
also: ``Hausa is one of Africa's most commonly spoken languages after
Arabic, French, English, Portuguese, and Swahili. It is a lingua
franca and a language of trade in West Africa. It is spoken in Benin,
Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo,
Eritrea, Germany, Ghana, Niger, Sudan, and Togo`` (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** AUSTRIA. Am 24.12.2024 um 19:56 schrieb Glenn Hauser via groups.io:
``At 1844+ I check UTwente. All of them are in music, except 9635.000-
German talk! Later they are all talking but 9635 does not match. Must
be way out of synch at Moosbrunn, why?`` Roger Thauer replies:

``The main program from 1900-2100 was advertised as “via NDR Info +
NDR Info Spezial”. However, their program differed 1 hour before.
- NDR Info: “1 h warm up”
- NDR Info Spezial: Children's program “MIKADO”.
The 9635 kHz had therefore been fed incorrectly.`` And:

On 27/12/2024 08:18, Uwe Volk wrote: ``Hello a-dxer, due to “duplicity
of events” I was forced to record the above program. Listening to the
recording today (9635 kHz), an obvious glitch of the NDR came to
light: From 1800-1900 UT, “Mikado - Das Radio für Kinder” was
broadcast. “Gruß an Bord” then afterwards from 1900 UT. Did nobody
else notice this glitch? Many greetings, Uwe``.

As Richard Langley points out, the same Kinder hour and even worse
mixups about `Gruß an Bord` happened in 2021 (Glenn Hauser, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 9818.6, Dec 27 at 0756, JBA signature off-frequency of R.
Nove de Julho; meanwhile, R Voz Missionária loud enough on 9665v.
Wolfgang Bueschel precised it Dec 25 at 0208 on 9818.588 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 1040, Dec 27 at 0533 UT, wobbler/whooper audible
under WHO, and likewise under 870 WWL. The other side:

``With blackouts across more than half of Cuba, the Government
presented its program to restore the electro-energy system. However,
the recent remarks by the Minister of Energy and Mines before the
National Assembly, and reality, augur more darkness than light for
Cubans. Madrid 24 Dic 2024 - 13:50 CET

Speaking before the National Assembly of Popular Power, Cuba's
Minister of Energy and Mines, Vicente de la O Levy, presented the

2024, amounting to 1,771 MW...``

** OKLAHOMA. After a few days, rechecking my local Enid AM & FM
pirates, Dec 27 circa 2025 UT:

95.1, $ tereo pilot of seemingly mono mostly Xmasmx, full quieting for
only a few blox in downtown Enid. One tune includes notes like the
chimes of Big Ben.

1670, at Box 1684 HQ, USPS on Broadway, loops directly east/west.
Driving west on B`way it doesn`t really strengthen, and near
intersexion of Jackson & B`way loops about S/SSW; several blox further
west at Fillmore & B`way loops about S/SSE. This doesn`t really make
sense. Perhaps instead of emitting from a single source, Virtual DJ
Radio relay be coming out of power or other utility/cable lines of
which there are plenty (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** PUERTO RICO. 391 MCW kHz, Dec 27 at 0728 UT, DDP is JBA, but can`t

woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7570, Dec 27 at 0740, Scourby Bible-declaring within TOMBS,
then kidsing, as this WRMI continues to show at unscheduled hours,
huge signal on NW antenna, like // 5850; and // much weakers 7730,
7780, 9395, 9955. Yet 7570 has continued to be absent Sundays at 2330
when needed for WOR, instead on 7780. Maybe this week? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 660, Dec 27 at 0535 UT, immediately at tune-in, full ID in
English from KTNN, also 101.5, then C&W music. Bigsig, obviously not
nulling toward New York, loud and clear, even moreso than neighbors
650 WSM TN and 670 WSCR IL - that should take some doing. On other
occasions, little or nosig from KTNN when does go direxional as legal
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1650 kHz, Dec 27 at 0527 UT, dominant signal in Spanish
sports hyper-enthusiasm, so must be El Paso KSVE, which I assume
originally connoted ``suave``. No ID heard, of course, but the only
other SS on 1650 is the gospel huxter in Colorado. Still fails to fill
overnight hours with continuous tone. I thought it was one pitch, but
at Octoberend, Tim Hall`s NV/UT border DX said ``1650 KSVE TX, El
Paso. 10/25 0604 - Still broadcasting a very loud trio of continuous
tones (400, 800 and 1200 Hz) during the overnight hours. A DX test
every night! 662 miles.`` However, Tim`s other Magnum Opus, the 2024
IRCA Mexican Log, shows a CP on 1650 in CDMX for a Radio Congreso with
the appropriate call XECPCM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

possible accidental alternate 9610, but at 2325 that`s not VOT either
