** BRAZIL [and non]. 11905-11910-11915, Dec 31 at 0627, DRM noise from
RNA resumed experiment S9/+10 to here direct, maybe would be
decodable. [WORLD OF RADIO 2067]

Tried it for NYE, Jan 1 at 0201; not enough S/N into Bonaire, but
11780-AM is VG altho somewhat distorted with NYE talk and MPB, leading
up to 2021y at 0300 UT = local midnight, when I am listening again,
retuned just in time at 0259 until -- until --- cut off the
transmitter during MPB at usual 0300* sharp, no countdown, no
timesignal, no nothing!

Quickly retuned Bonaire at 0300 to 6180 to hear --- to hear --- bigsig
from La Voz Alegre, Florida gospel huxters with gringo accent, back
via MADAGASCAR, but with a fast SAH underneath, maybe RNA still on
there but useless.

It was a busy WOR Thursday produxion day among other things, so I
missed any earlier Jahrwechseln via SW, even Spain at 23 UT, WWV at 00
UT. Nor will there be any Guatemala at 06 UT but celebrations here!
Freezing rain is closing in, so who knows whether we shall have power
and internet into 2021 (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 335-MCW kHz, Dec 31 at 0641 UT, dash and YLD, which is
1000-watt ND beacon at Chapleau, Ontario. I was tuned to 334-USB
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. I am seldom up to check for CNR1 jammers before 1400 UT; in
autumn and A-20 season there would be loads of them WOOB above & below
11 MHz and also circa 13 MHz. So at 1359 Dec 31 I hasten to scan
around 11 MHz, and, nothing; maybe on but not winterpropagating (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11670, Dec 31 at 0628, RHC Spanish is still on here beyond
usual closing; something`s always wrong at RHC. At least it prove
there be propagation approaching 12 MHz in the nightmiddle (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13555 approx., Dec 31 at 1425, RHC spurblob with F# tone is
offset a little more than usual into the ISM/Part 15/HIFER band: then
also found around: 13629 S4-S6; 13700-AM fundamental S9/+20; 13772;
13844 QRMing 13845 WWCR on its LSB, tsk2; and 13915 weakest. So these
are multiples of plus/minus 71-72 kHz. It`s about time this hit WWCR;
so far keeps missing Martí. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Dec 31 at 0632, no signal from VON; nor have I
noticed it lately; could be on 11770- instead but not propagating;
anyhow not to be heard on either now, nor possible 9690- (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 475+MCW kHz, Dec 31 at 0636 UT, had not heard Dave Frantz`s
WWW WA4SZE BEACON for several nights, but back on now from Manchester,
TN (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2067 contents: Australia, Brasil, Canada,
Colombia, Cuba, El Salvador, Eritrea, Korea South, Newfoundland &
Labrador, New Zealand, Romania, South Carolina non, Spain, Sri Lanka,
Sudan, Taiwan non, Turks & Caicos, USA; and the propagation outlook.

Completed just in time for first airing anywhere, UT Friday January 1,
2021 on WRMI 5850, VG S9+35/45 into Missouri SDR; but canceled as I
feared on 5010 to the south as checked via Bonaire. The 01-02 hour now
has 5010 paired with whatever be on 7780 instead of 5850; at least
this should now apply to both for the final WOR repeat UT Thursdays at
0130, if reclaimed from `Mundo Sorprendente` specials.

** U S A. (7490), Jan 1 at 0300, WBCQ webcast since 7490 reception is
insufficient, of Uncle Bill`s NYE special hour, `Escape from 2020`,
with portions of his and other WBCQ programs; but the first thing is a
real turn-off, screaming ``365 [sic, sick] days`` in honor of last
year. 0329 Tom Call amateur Theatre; 0334 Cosmikdebris and Jane,
concluding with FTIOM, and a bit of Spike Jones until 0400. An

Xmas show is at 0300-0400 UT Sunday on WBCQ 6160v and A51/61 webcast,
starting at 0303, instead of 0200-``; [later:] It`s not the same Xmas
program at all that was on WRMI last night, but: ``Camel Rock `n` Roll

** U S A. 9975, Dec 31 at 0630, KVOH is only S3-S5 as it`s often faded
way down into the night over the almost 2-megameter path, closer than
Habana. Ray Robinson says some programming changes from January 2 for
UT Tuesdays-Saturdays: ``Scott Martin's 'Song in the Night' will be
moving to 0600-0700, in place of the repeats of 'Jazz Session'. But,
we will still have a nightly hour of Big Band music on the schedule in
'Swing Shift', at 0200-0300`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2067)

** U S A. (101.1), Thu Dec 31 at 1735-1900 UT, caught the last half of
Susan Ohori`s world music show in KSFR Santa Fe NM webcast, and indeed
she is still calling it `Beyond Borders`, whatever the schedule may
show (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 11905-11910-11915, Dec 30 at 2205, RNA DRM test has resumed
after Xmas break, tnx to tip via Richard Langley. S6-S7, 11 to 15 dB
SNR into SJ do Campo KiwiSDR, with screechy cutouts; Better at TWR DR
SDR, 16 dB but still some breakups during `A Voz do Brasil`; both read
13.06 kbps; still carrying the FM 96.1 feed? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 244-MCW kHz, Dec 30 at 0722 UT, dash and TH, 1000-watt ND
beacon at Thompson, Manitoba, remote north-central forming the eastern
point of a triangle with Flin Flon to the west, and Lynn Lake to the
north. The only NDB anywhere on 244 per dxinfocentre.com unlike 242
and 245; zero on 243 where I was hearing it USB at first.

274-MCW kHz, Dec 30 at 0725 UT, dash and YPM, 25-watt NDB at
Pikangikum, Ontario, ``back on``. 1741 km = 1082 st mi = 43+ miles per

284-MCW kHz, Dec 30 at 0726 UT, dash and QD, 500-watt NDB at The Pas,
Manitoba.

Ronge, Saskatchewan. I was tuned to 316-USB.

326-MCW kHz, Dec 30 at 0729 UT, dash and YQK, 200-watt NDB at Kenora,
Ontario. Mixing with PKZ? See U S A

332-MCW kHz, Dec 30 at 0731 UT, dash and YFM, 2500-watt NDB at La
Grand 4, Quebec, atop my nearby 400-watt IC Wichita KS, and nothing
from the usual dominator, 1000-watt QT in Thunder Bay, Ontario. LG-4
is a Hydro dam a kilomile north of Montréal, fishing/outfitter
destination.

351-MCW kHz, Dec 30 at 0735 UT, dash and YKQ, 500-watt NDB at Fort
Rupert - Waskaganish, Québec. At first tuned to 350-USB where it was
overriding my nearby 400-watt RG at Will Rogers World Airport, OKC,
Gally. Heard on 351 also with QRM from IN, really 353, see U S A.

355-MCW kHz, Dec 30 at 0738 UT, dash and YWP, 200-watt NDB at
Webequie, Quebec; still waiting for a pronouncer on this one.

Quite a few other Canadians in this session, skipped over as too
familiar/regular (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 326-MCW kHz, Dec 30 at 0729 UT, during mostly-Canadian
beacon logging, YQK has CCI from FKZ? or JKZ? Per list must have been

faded to S5/S7 by 2227.

Also confirmed Wed Dec 30 at 2300 on WRMI 9955, S5 via heavy pulse

New WOR 2067 should be ready by early UT Friday January 1 for first
broadcast on WRMI 5850, and maybe 5010 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Wed Dec 30 at 1628, WRMI is still on with TOMBS = The
Overcomer Ministry Brother Scare, during a caller, // > 5950 << 9395
<<< 9980 et al. One more look at the WRMI skedgrid

plus some hum, no other frequencies left. Something`s always wrong at
RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13571 approx., Dec 29 at 1512, the ``Cuban sound`` spurblob
during `Sonido Cubano` on RHC, with F# tone, best readable in FM mode
where it`s 10 kHz wide and hard to pinpoint the exact center. This is
second-order, 129 kHz below source 13700-AM which is S9+20; then
first-order circa 13636, 13765, weaker 13830, and S1-S2 on third-order
13894. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 9860, Dec 29 at 2226, S5-S7 fluttery Esperanto, as
sked this hour from CRI via Kashgar, land of ChiCom cultural genocide
against Uyghurs and other Moslems. And why is it that only Commies are
interested in Esperanto broadcasting, also Cuba, not even gospel
huxters who employ countless tiny tongues? Its creator, Ludoviko
Lazaro Zamenhof, was a Polish Jew, but pre-communism, 1859-1917y:

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEWFOUNDLAND. 2598-USB, Dec 29 at 0737 UT, roboyl marine weather in
English, S8 vs S7 noise level here. DXinfocentre.com shows starting at
0737, the first early-morning broadcast = 4:07 am local, in the cycle
of 6 or 7 mostly NL stations in the 2598 group, is VCP-4, Placentia,
with 3000 watts, greatest of all. Nothing on 2749-USB yet, but VCO
Sydney NS is to start at 0740 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PHILIPPINES [and non]. 9795, Dec 29 at 2304, Vietish? talk with QRM
underneath sounds like Firedragon, but why bother? Aoki does not show
*jamming or anything else here. This is FEBC in Mon via Iba site - not
the same as Hmong, which is at other times in three different hues,
Black, White, and Blue - based on traditional costumes? I wonder which
one was SXMZ, see U S A (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN [and non]. 9690, Dec 29 at 2302, REE in Sefardí, since it`s
martes, rather than English on L/M/V. As matches the sked in Aoki/NDXC
for Day 3; a.k.a. Ladino, also Sundays 2230-2300. Not as strong as
usual, with some ACI from 9695 in Japanese with echo, i.e. CRI via
Jinhua, presumably rather thisaway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Dec 29 at 2300, no signal from VOT English to us;
should have been at least detectable despite S8-S9 HLLNL. Something`s
always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Tue Dec 29 at 1524, `Freedom Synergy Radio` is just
ending another unscheduled airing on WRMI, 1525 into one of my
favorite fill-music tunes, `Sandunga` on marimba; recheck at 1600,
still on contrary to sked with TOMBS (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4980, Dec 29 at 0220, WRMI apparently on here, but VP S8-S9
and undermodulated, can`t even be sure of language, SMTV? Not // 5010
which is S9/+10 and fully modulated vs Madagascar het, nor // any
other WRMI frequency.

At 0228 I hasten to compare them via TWR Bonaire KiwiSDR: 5010 is
closing R. Taiwán Internacional citing its Spanish sked as 01 on 5800,
02 on 5010, 22 on 7780; at S9+10, while whatever on 4980 is only S5-S7
into dead air at 0230 but still on, exciter only? (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 7490.18v, Tue Dec 29 at 2258, WBCQ ending one `AAAWWW` with
anti-Chinese remarx, retune at 2300, *another* `AAAWWW` - or the same
one? Is starting with ``William Tell Overture`` and more anti-China
interjexions. It`s scheduled at 22-23, but a gap at 23-24, not even
``Available Time Slot``. Didn`t Brother Scare useta occupy that hour?
I see the WBCQ Program Guide has also finally deleted 3265, which has
not been on the air since early 2020? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non]. 7530, Dec 29 at 2227, no open carrier unlike 24+ hours
ago, and presumably no SXMZ either at 2230 via Taiwan, the Colorado
Christian-Hmong hmissionary show of B-19; at least that gave us a
chance to find out it`s apparently gone (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 810 kHz, Dec 29 at 2325 UT, steady S9 of dead air in
presumed English, WHB Kansas City? Yes, loops thataway and 2330
finally JIP stupid sports talk (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (101.1), KSFR Santa Fe NM, via webcast: one of my favorite
shows in its final airing, UT Tue Dec 29 at 0400-0700, `Beyond
Borders`, excellent ``world music`` hostessed by Susan Ohori. In her
rather droll style of speech, she has been saying the last few weeks
that she is moving to Thursday mornings at 16-19 UT, apparently
already starting there tho sked even for next week/year still shows,
what must be a similar show with another host, `Sound Travels`. I`ve
not checked that yet. Each provides playlists, but apparently no
podcasts or archiving since the demise of Radio Free America. See:

https://www.ksfr.org/programs/beyond-borders
https://www.ksfr.org/programs/sound-travels

I have the impression the move was not Susan`s choice, as she alluded
to her longtime Monday-night slot not being what the audience would
prefer; some survey? The daytime show must be a different style with
e.g.. breaks for news on hour, so she makes a point of playing an
extra-long piece to conclude tonight.

``Susan Ohori
https://www.ksfr.org/people/susan-ohori

Susan Ohori pioneered the programming of world music on radio from
1972 - 1977 on Pacifica station KPFA in Berkeley, with her program
Last Chants. She served as Music Director there from 1976 - 1977, when
she left the Bay Area to research and record Purepecha folk music in
Michoacan, Mexico.

She published "An Introduction to World Music: 100 Records to Start
With" in the Next Whole Earth Catalogue.

Moving to Santa Fe in 1980, she produced a weekly 6-hour program of
classical music (including contemporary and world) on KUNM,
Albuquerque, from 1980-1982. She was Program Director for the
Explorations in Music concert series at the Center for Contemporary
Art, Santa Fe, from 1981-1985. In 1992 she began producing her weekly
3-hour program of world music, Beyond Borders, on KSFR.

In 2002 (?), along with a group of dedicated station volunteers and
supporters, she was instrumental in forming the non-profit Northern
New Mexico Radio Foundation which won the contract to take over the
management and fiscal responsibility of KSFR from Santa Fe Community
College. She served on its Board of Directors from 2002-2009 (?).

She founded Ohori's Coffee, Tea & Chocolate, a roasting and retail
business in 1984 and sold in 2001. She also opened Casa, in 1996, a
retail store specializing in folk art.

She was a founding Board member of the Santa Fe Film Festival which
she served on for 10 years. She has recently returned to her work on
clay sculpture begun in the 1970's.``

The gallery of show hosts on KSFR lacks a portrait of her, unlike the
others. Her name, at least, I think be Japanese/Nisei. A cursory
websearch doesn`t find her visage either, but the woman who bought her
coffee shop, I think.

No info yet on KSFR site about what will replace her two sesquihours
on Monday nights, and she is not saying. At least that alleviates the
conflict/overlap with a similar show on New Mexico`s other prime
public radio station, KUNM [89.9] Albuquerque, at 0500-0800 UT
Tuesdays:
https://www.kunm.org/programs/global-music
which I suppose will now become my habitual listening. KUNM does have
a limited on-demand archive. Years ago I did suggest to Susan that it
was a shame both were on at same time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5095-USB, Dec 30 at 0215, very occasional 2-way, unseems
Spanish, sandwiched between the huge 5085 WTWW signal, and its JBA
spur about 5097 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 13571 approx., Dec 28 at 1535, spurblob of jazz
from RHC 13700-AM, and then find more at 64-65 kHz intervals, better
in FM than AM, and unreadable in SSB: 13636 S9 with F# tone; 13765 S9;
13830 vs victim in AM, i.e. VATICAN in Amharic; 13895; 13960 trace;
13505. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEWFOUNDLAND & LABRADOR [and non]. 2598-USB, Dec 29 at 0143 UT,
roboyl with marine weather in English, VP vs high LLNL, but there is
some `reverb` as from two not exactly synchronized transmitters. Only
one scheduled at this time, from 0137, is VOK from somewhere in
Labrador, per: https://dxinfocentre.com/mb.htm

2598 is supposed to be time-shared with 5 or 6 other stations in NL
and Québec, not simulcast. However, EiBi does show two simul sites for
this 0137-0200 broadcast, cw and hd, which translate to
cw - Cartwright NL 53N42'30" - 57W01'17"
hd - Hopedale NL 55N27'24" - 60W12'30"
Both of which are on Labrador mainland, not island rock. Same roboyl
voice on 2749-USB but not checked whether // which is sometimes
deliberate as I recently logged from Québec (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Thread resulting from my Dec 27 log of KTOK:

``BTW, have not heard IBOC noise from KTOK for ages, tho still flagged
as -I in 2020-2021 NRC AM Log. IBOC ``reported off Dec 2009`` here:
http://www.topazdesigns.com/iboc/station-list.html
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)``

``Glenn et al., The listing of IBOC, as I have stated many times
before, does NOT pretend to track who turned this feature on or off.
It is a listing of those who are authorized to use the digital mode.
73, Wayne Heinen, Editor, NRC AM Radio Log, Aurora, CO``

``Wayne, Sorry, I did not realize that. In that case it would be
helpful to have a separate symbol denoting stations which are axually
in `HD` now. And full- or part-time, day and/or night?

I was under the impression that, unlike pure HD, anystation could run
hybrid HD ad lib without specific permission. Has FCC ever denied it?
They certainly don`t care about adjacent QRM!

Is there any way to check this thru AM Query? I don`t see anything
about HD for KTOK, one way or another; nor for KFAQ which we know is
running it. Could be deeply buried. 73, Glenn``

``Glenn, There is a link on the amq page that takes you to this list…
I usually check it against the database each year prior to publication
however this year, due to my shoulder replacement, I didn’t get all
the usual proofs done. You’ll find both KTOK and KFAQ on the list

https://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/sta_list.pl
73 Wayne Heinen``

``Wayne, Tnx but that link gets: `Station Search Error --- You must
specify search criteria values. Go back to the previous web page and
try again.`

But, but, I am not coming from a previous web page. O, here it is:
https://www.fcc.gov/media/radio/digital-radio

which leads to: To obtain a list of stations authorized for "hybrid"
operation (analog + digital signals), select one of the following
links: [ AM |

which leads to:
https://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/sta_list.pl?Service=AM&digital_status=H

which then leads to:
https://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/sta_list.pl

i.e. the exact same URL Wayne gave but it won`t work directly, of 241
stations, alfabetical order by callsign, who cares about frequency or
location? which leads to KTOK info:
`Digital status: hybrid` -- and that`s all --- Glenn``

``Scott Fybush Dec 27 #15519 --- It's a notification, not a
permission. FCCData.org shows whether a station (AM or FM) has
notified digital operation; the flaw, as we see, is there's no process
for indicating cessation of digital operation.``

``As I'm sure you know, the FCC's Prime Directive is "please don't
bother us with details" and, really, licensees aren't required to run
HD in either MA3 or MA1 so why should they care? Same for C-QUAM (for
the 8 stations that still use it! :-D)

I think the listings in the NRC AMRL are fine. The editor (a recently
elected ARRL Life Member!) might consider fleshing out the -I and -$
code definitions to prevent this sort of complaint in future (not that
you can eliminate 100% of complaints ...) -- Peter Laws | N5UWY |
plaws plaws net | Travel by Train!``

``[nrc-am] IBOC Listing in NRC AM Radio Log JZinOK 2:41am #15530
In the case of KTOK, digital notification was made in 2006, but we
haven't used it in many years. It's rather worthless to us now, as
KTOK is carried on KXXY-FM HD2. KWPN 640 Moore OK also has given
notification, but dropped the HD a long time ago. Several FM's here
have given digital notification, but do not use it. All of the iHeart
FM's in OKC use HD. John Zondlo, Yukon, OK`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2066 monitoring: confirmed Monday
December 28 from 1900:49 on IRRS 7290 Bulgaria as heard via UTwente
including any internet delay. Open carrier is on by 1855; 1859:51
cut-on IRRS sign-on; 1900:20 Feature Story News headlines, then WOR.
Only my final word cut off at 1929, ``disclaimer``. As always,
extremely annoying splash from both sides cannot be escaped by LSB,
USB, AM Synch or narrow bandwidth: Vietnam 7280 is worse than East
Turkistan 7295 despite second- vs first-adjacency. Recheck at 1949,
has faded? to JBA carrier on 7290. Next:

0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 [canceled; confirmed]
0230 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 [canceled; reconfirmed]
0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 5800 [pre-empted for FSR this week; confirmed]

2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
2300 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE [pre-empted] [ex-0100]

Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts:
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html
WOR is always a SW program first, but as stations make it harder to
hear, I can`t blame people for accessing a reliable alternative.

Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support:
thanks this week to Gerald T. Pollard, Raleigh NC, who sent a generous
Solsticial check in US$ on a US bank to
Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 USA

** U S A. 4980, Dec 29 at 0234, WRMI-5 is poorly audible by Bonaire
KiwiSDR, S6-S7 in English, bits of Xmasmx and SMTV talk including ID
at 0244. Must use AM-Narrow to avoid 4985 RTTY. This is on skedgrid as
SMTV for many hours including this one, on 285 antenna but no
comparison to the bigsig we get on 7730 same azimuth. 4980 is the
frequency supposed to be home for 5950 programming bumped off there by
elimination of 9455, but supposedly long-delayed until it is up to
full power, maybe exciter only so far. If that`s the azimuth, 4980
ought to be stronger closer to its aim, at the TWR RGV SDR of
Brownsville TX --- but it is not, only JBA! Something is strange about
all this (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Dec 28 at
0135-0142 UT, contrary to usual method, I`m tuning in 9-kHz steps
downward from 1 kHz above the channels, so anycarrier making a 1 kHz
het can be recognized: 1503, 1422, 1296, 1215, 1107, 1089, 1053, 936,
909, 891*, 882(2), 837(2), 774(2), 747, 711, 639, 621. *strongest. (2)
= at least two carriers beating.

There would have been more below 700 kHz, but currently the local line
noise level is much higher in the 700-300 kHz range, as well as many
SW ranges. Earlier in the afternoon, driving around the neighborhood
tuned to open 1040 kHz where traces of WHO might have been otherwise,
the LLNL did not correlate with any lingering Xmas lighting, but
continued buzzing over a much wider area; and it`s just as bad daytime
as nighttime. Tnx a lot, OG&E (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7530, Dec 28 at 2207, S9/+10 open carrier where normally
nothing; only Aoki shows nearby possibility maybe on early:
``7530 2230-2300 TWN Suab Xaa Moo Zoo(Vo.Hope) Hmo Tamsui Dist 1-7``
It`s also shown same in WRTH 2020 as religious based in Thornton,
Colorado, under USA, not target/clandestine. Website leads to:

http://www.hmongdistrict.org/HiddenPages/SuabXaMooZoo(RadioMinistry).aspx
where there is no info about any current broadcasts, at least not in
English, and the `listen` link leads to a page to *buy* songs.

SXMZ no longer appears in the WRTH 2021, my copy just arrived, at
least not under USA, in the religious broadcaster cross-ref, in the SW
frequency list, nor under Target: Laos or Vietnam. On Nov 5, 2020, Ivo
Ivanov included it in a multi-site roster of ``Winter B-20
frequencies, unregistered in HFCC Database (updated)`` but I find no
recent logs of it. Back on April 25, 2020, Ivo had it in a list of
``missing clandestine transmissions``, some of which were
subsequently reported. None of this researched until later, so I did
not recheck after 2230 for any showup; QRX another day. Of course in a
shared fixed band, carrier could be a ute (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13555-CW, Dec 28 at 1520, JBA traces of CW, maybe
finally something besides 13565 K6FRC on the HIFER band, not now.
https://www.lwca.net/sitepage/part15/index.htm
shows ``13554.98~ WV Richwood WV EW98rf CW (h 2020/12)``
but there are 14 more between 13555 and 13556. This was really too
weak to attempt an accurate measurement. I did get WV last Feb 27 at
1455 and March 4 at 1516. Richwood is in the Allegheny Mountains east
of Charleston (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
