** CANADA. 278-MCW kHz, Dec 23 at 0713 UT, dash and NM, which is
500-watt ND beacon at Matagami, Quebec (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 6100, Dec 23 at 0555 and 0607 chex, no signal in
English from RHC here; at 0556, 5040 seems Spanish with multi-lingual
ID, including Guarani & Quechua? 6000 in English is S9+10/20 but
suptorted. That leaves 9700 which is VG S9+20 and somewhat
overmodulated with fast SAH: NHK is in HFCC but not in Japan`s own
Aoki/NDXC list; could also be Turkey on late, causing Arnie to nix
this one at least before 0656. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glen
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13765 & 13635 approx., Dec 23 at 1514, distorted FMish
spurblobs with F# tone only S3 from RHC 13700-AM, 65 kHz plus and
minus. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE. 15285.0545V, Dec 23 at 1601, JBA carrier and audibly
cycling up and down as I try to measure it, captured here at one
instant; R. Manara via RMI for NIGERIA. Ivo Ivanov says it`s not from
Secretbrod, Bulgaria as suspected due to this defect, but presumably
really Issoudun, France as registered (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13565-CW, Dec 23 at 1512, K6FRC HIFER beacon from CA is JBA;
standard remarx (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2065:
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
2300 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE [pre-empted! for two weeks v below]

Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support:
thanks this week to Doug Brown, London, Ontario who sent a generous
check in US$ on a US bank to
Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 USA, and comments:
``Thanks for another year of great programs, in what has
otherwise been a dark year full of bad news``

One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to:

** U S A. The 0100 UT Thursday final airing of WOR on WRMI, 7780 is
being pre-empted this week and next, and I hope, resuming in January.
From disgraced FB:

``WRMI Radio Miami International, Yesterday at 11:21 AM ·

Recuerda, El “Mundo Sorprendente” con Berny Solano desde Costa Rica
para la Navidad se transmitirá para las Américas el jueves 24 de
diciembre a las 9:00 pm hora de Miami en 5800 kHz (0200 UTC viernes 25
de diciembre). Será repetido el jueves 24 a las 11:00 pm hora de Miami
en 9955 kHz (0400 UTC viernes 25 de diciembre). Y habrá una
transmisión especialmente para Europa y el Noreste de Norteamérica a
la 0100 UTC jueves 24 en 7780 kHz (será en la noche de miércoles 23 de
diciembre en las Américas.)``

With translation, but I suspect it is only or mainly in Spanish:

``Remember, The ′′Surprising World′′ with Berny Solano from Costa Rica
for Christmas will be broadcast for the Americas on Thursday, December
24 at 9:00 pm Miami time at 5800 kHz (0200 UTC Friday 25 of December).
It will be repeated Thursday 24 at 11:00 pm Miami time at 9955 kHz
(0400 UTC Friday 25 December). And there will be a special
transmission for Europe and North America at 0100 UTC Thursday 24 at
7780 kHz (it will be on Wednesday night, December 23 in the Americas.
) Translated``

And a previous item said there would be another such show for New Year
exactly one week later. IIRC, Berny originally invited me to
participate in this show, but I had to decline, already spending too
much time doing stuff in English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 4980, Dec 23 at 0557, JBA carrier, perhaps WRMI exciter
only, certainly not projected full-power transmission, nor anything
from Asia at this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1130, Dec 23 at 0726 UT, Spanish music dominant instead of
KWKH, which is never strong here away from its night pattern; but must
have been in a fade as by 0732 back up to make a fast SAH with the SS;
0737 romantic music; 0741 ``Radio Vida`` ID and a carol.

In the IRCA Mexican Log, of the five 1130s, none is a Radio Vida.

In the NRC AM Log, the only US or Canadian Radio Vida on 1130 is:
WYXE Gallatin TN, D1, 2300 watts, psra 5.4, CH 940, SS religious and
// WSBI 1210 Static [sic] TN, also a daytimer.

And it is a known cheater: From NRC DX News January 7, 2020, a log
from over a year ago in 2019y:

``1130, WYXE, TN, Gallatin – 12/6 2234 [EST] – On after sunset with
Spanish language religious music,"...Radio Vida" slogan by female
announcer, more music. Fair mostly over usuals WBBR & WDFN. // to Tune
In stream. First time heard at this location. (PS-ON)``

My E/W longwire does favor this town NE of Nashville. As for its
sibling, even my 2013 Large Scale Road Atlas by Rand McNally does not
index any place called Static in TN! Radio-locator agrees on the name
altho does not depict it on coverage map, which shows site exactly on
the KY/TN border further from Nashville; even zoomed in cannot tell
which state it`s in; nearest towns are Byrdstown TN and Albany KY. The
border in this area looks like a straight E-W line, but on closer
inspexion it`s slightly tilted. Latitude as licensed is 36-27-22 if
that helps. But I don`t have to worry since I haven`t yet heard WSBI
and don`t count states, but if I did it would be by site, not city
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. 830, Wed Dec 23 at 0720 UT, WCCO with
monolog about some sport, not its format --- and furthermore with a
continuous quick echo from *another* station with same program /
network; makes slow SAH of 24/minute = 0.4 Hz; and a weaker third
understation with music. Break at 0729 IDs show as `Our American
Stories`.

Program has a huge archive of ``non-political`` shows and
http://www.ouramericannetwork.org/find_station
but you have to click on each state. I do that for every one of the 14
states represented in NRC Log on 830, regardless of language, format
or daytimishness, and not a one of them matches to anything on 830.
Except for WCCO Tue-Sat at 1-2 am [CT]. Our American Network is not
among the numerous ones on the NRC AM Log list page 276, and thus with
an abbr. to show in individual listings.

By night power and format, I figure the two most likely are WCRN
Worcester MA, U4 50/50 kW, which I have never heard, night pattern
nulling the west, but its website program schedule confirms it is not
the one. The other is WEEU, U4 20/6 kW Reading PA, but there is no
program sked to be found on its website. Night pattern is all to the
SE.

KGLA Norco LA, U4 5000/750 is the common QRMer to WCCO, but it`s
listed as Spanish, Radio Tropical. Drastic format change?

A remote possibility is that WCCO is testing a different/backup
transmitter site, if any? QRMing itself. Now I wish had tried to DF
them separately but this was on E-W longwire (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL [non]. 11910, Dec 22 at 2341, JBA AM carrier, presumably
NHK, in the absence of any DRM noise from antipodal RNA. Replying to
my previous note that it was missing:

``DMR from Brazil Out of Air for a Few Days --- As posted to the DRMNA
io group today (21 December): "Tx on 11910 kHz is off for some
repairs. To be back after Christmas." -- Richard Langley`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 6850, Dec 22 at 2316, Chinese, and also 6865 but marred by
local? blob. Both in Aoki/NDXC as CNR1 jammer frequencies vs Sound of
Hope (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13762 & 13638 approx., Dec 22 at 1550, +/- 62 kHz spurblobs
with F# tone, Spanish modulation, only S3-S4 out of RHC 13700 which is
S9+10/20 and overmodulated. Spurs nowhere near as strong as they can
be; something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6937-USB, Dec 22 at 2307, pirate talk S4-S6 and soon
some Nat King Cole songs, ``My Love For You`` at first thought sounded
like ``Makin` Whoopee``; 2313 talking about NKC and more songs; off by
2337 recheck. These say
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,75870.0.html
Zeke`s Attics [sic] was on 6937-USB from 2217 [sic: ``2017``] but no
reports later than 2303, previously no NKC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SINGAPORE. 7355, Dec 22 at 1543, Korean Talk at S9/+10; YL seems to
have a Japanese accent. BBC via Kranji at 1530-1830, 250 kW at 25
degrees carrying on USward (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 335-MCW kHz, Dec 22 at 0724 UT, ND beacon BV, which is 25
watts from Batesville - Almond, Arkansas. I was tuned to 333-USB.

BTW, elevated extreme high local noise level blamed on Xmas lights,
S9+10/20 over most of LW, MW and SW --- grrr! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5800, 5850, 5950, 7570, 7730, 9395, Dec 23 at 0257 I find
open carriers/dead air on all these WRMI frequencies, and maybe also
7780 which is too weak to be sure, maybe JBM. Did not get 9955 checked
in time. Automation computers all failed, yet power is on to run the
transmitters? But at 0300 remodulating with TOMBS on 5850, 7570, 7730;
Biermann on 5950 = YWS or T2P; 9395 at 0303 with hard-sell Medicare
supplement spot ad, and 0304 ``back to the music`` = ``Wheels``. 5800
probably `Freedom Synergy Radio` contrary to sked, definitely by 0330
as in next item (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5800, UT Wed Dec 23 at 0300, dead-air festival ends with
something on this WRMI, but NOT `La Rosa de Tokio` as scheduled; at
0330 it`s `Freedom Synergy Radio`, in English with Spanish-accented
pro-Taiwan, anti-ChiCom discussion, just like last night, when FSR
blew away `Wavescan` at 0300 and WOR at 0330. All these are still on
the System H schedule for 5800, but is revived FSR being stripped
across here 0300-0400, five or even seven days a week? If so that also
deletes: `Encore` on UT Thursday; `VORW` on UT Friday; `Encore` on UT
Saturday, or as already publicized for holiday specialism, `TRSW` on
Dec 26 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6948-AM, Dec 23 at 0306-0317+, S8 of open carrier;
pirate QRX or what? Instead of the usual one on 6860? No, that one is
still on too (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
