This is KCIK-AM 740 Kihei, Hawaii 5000 Watts Non Directional. Recorded
Friday December 4th at 1019pm AK Time in McGrath, Alaska 2900 miles away
with a CC Skywave Portable radio and a Gary DeBock 5" FSL Loop. (AK is 1
hour ahead of HI, 1 hour behind CA)

This came in exceptionally well, I think. Here's audio of what I heard and
there's a little bit of KCBS behind it, but I turned the loop to null them
out.

** ARMENIA. Re my report of KBC: ``6080 kHz, direct from Yerevan`` ---
not Gavar?? VG reception via UTwente, not here``

Christian Milling replies on the soon to be deleted DXLD yg: ``Neither
Yerevan nor Gavar. The village where the transmitters are located and
the postal address of the station is Noratus, Gegharkunik Province,
Radio Quarter 5`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** AUSTRIA [and non]. 6185, UT Sun Dec 6 at *0500, Moosbrunn on just
in time for NHK English relay at weekend timing, ex-6155; makes fast
SAH overriding XEPPM, which I was hearing weakly in Spanish before
0500; via Rochester NY SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 6075, Dec 6 at 1553, S9 strongest signal on band by far, the
only listenable one some 2.4 hours after sunrise here, Chinese talk
and plucked music to timesignal and off 1600*; meanwhile same music on
7300 if not synchronized. Aoki/NDXC for 6075 shows CNR1 jamming vs
Taiwan but until 1730*; also PBS Qinghai with CNR1 too until 1600*.
Furthermore, CRI in Urdu via Kashgar until 1557. None of these seem
apt for pushing such a bigsig thisaway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ERITREA [non]. 17545+, Dec 6 at 1542, confirmed no Bayto Yaikl on
Sunday, just Wed & Sat so far. Traces of 17615+ Sa`udi, 21690 France
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PHILIPPINES. 9275, Dec 6 at 1550, Chinese music S7-S9 with flutter,
FEBC Bocaue at 10-16. WMLK has also reserved 9275 at 17-22, 53 degrees
toward Europe, if those Yahwists ever get their new 300 kW transmitter
and antenna in Bethel PA on the air (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13565-CW, Dec 6 at 1453, 1.8 milliwatt HIFER beacon K6FRC is
JBA with ID only repeating, from Patterson CA - tuned across almost
every morning, last logged October 11. Standard inquiry: is it always
on the air or not? Fortunately, no spurblobblox from RHC today (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2063 monitoring: not confirmed UT
Sun Dec 6 between 0447 and 0600 several chex of WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO,
but ARNL and other ham shows, such as at 0505 `ARNL` about the Arecibo
collapse. Hope WOR had aired earlier before I tuned in. Heavy CW QRM
thruout, must be a 160mb contest. Next:

We hope WBCQ will be back on by 2300 Sunday, apparently missing
Saturday due to nor`easter.

Our non-commercial broadcasts and website depend on voluntary support:
thanks this week to Jack Amelar, NY8D, Lowell MI, who says, ``Glenn,
Thank you for many years of WOR and loggings which I have enjoyed and
used. Enclosed find my contribution to help keep your service to the
monitoring hobby going``; with a check in US funds on a US bank to:
Glenn Hauser, P O 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. A nor`easter hit the WBCQ area on Saturday December 5, and
it seems it has been knocked off the air, altho not certain, perhaps
deficient propagation. 6160v, Dec 6 at 0503 check, no signal into
Rochester nor here, but may have just normally signed off. Sked:
http://zappahead.net/#2020-1205-area51

7490, I was also checking whether a conflict with WHRI, but only the
latter heard on 7490.0, Dec 6 at 0455 with gospel huxter into
Warrenton MO SDR I`m mainly monitoring for WA0RCR; 0503 S7-S9 gospel
song.

9330, Dec 6 at 1624, no signal from WBCQ with WLC. Ivo Ivanov earlier
noted it absent at 1000 when scheduled in French (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 17790, Dec 6 at 1808, very strong S9+10/20 unfamiliar
electronic interval signal, recorded. Rick Barton, AZ first reported
this at 1720, then WRMI ID at 1800. Also heard by Harold Frodge, MI;
Wolfgang Bueschel using Bonaire SDR, at 1751: ``twin tone 17790 and
17795 kHz signal strings``. At 1812, Peter W Hansen: ``17790 comes
best at Bay Area California and 17795 in New York and Iceland.``

I ask Jeff White about it! ``Hi Jeff, Questions I hope you can answer:
17790 -- what is the origin and significance of that unfamiliar
[17-note] interval signal? Is this really from Okeechobee? Which
transmitter and antenna? Excellent signal here. Is this leading to a
new relay client? Any other new frequencies planned? And you were
running 17795 at same time? Others heard that. From another site? At
1900 ID sounded like a mixture of Spanish, and Russian?``

``Glenn: It's a test for a one-time special transmission tomorrow [Mon
Dec 7] from 1300 to 1700. I can't really say who it's for until
tomorrow. Two frequencies: 17790 and 7570. The language was Bosnian.
Yeah, it's OK to share it. Jeff``

Further monitoring via Bonaire and direct: I`m hearing 17790 only,
past 1952 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17775-, re KVOH missing December 4, Ray Robinson of KVOH
replies December 5: ``Hi, Glenn. 17775 was indeed off on Thursday and
part of Friday [Dec 3-4] due to a preventative Edison power cut to the
area that includes the KVOH transmitter site. It will likely be off on
Monday [Dec 7] too, not due to Edison, but because of some maintenance
work we need to do (that can only be done when we have lights and
power!). Ray.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5830 & 5085, Sunday Dec 6 at 1548, WTWW-1 & 2 are OFF,
unlike in daytime yesterday; 9475 WTWW-1 is also OFF, when normally it
would be on a Sunday morning. Ivo Ivanov however had heard 5085 & 5830
still on at 1000, beyond schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11709.1, Dec 6 at 1546, weak signal making a het with
another on 11710.0, and flutter. Only two listed at this time are CNR1
from Beijing 572 site, and Voice of Korea [North], the latter more
likely askew; Commies vs Commies! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 13593, Dec 6 at 1455, very intermittent distorted spur
of talk modulation; 13700 & 13740 RHC are both on but cannot make a
match to them (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1954 UT December 6

** BRAZIL. 11905-11910-11915, Dec 5 at 2301, how is the RNA DRM test
doing today? To Bonaire SDR, S8, 17.2 dB SNR during a ballad, a few
snags in the audio. At 0022 Dec 6 check, I now hear three transmitters
at once direct with 6180 back on // 11780 music, DRM noise also
audible around 11910, may or may not be // (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA? 4940, Dec 5 at 2302, quick check on Bonaire of anonymous
mystery missionary station finds it playing the song `Corazón de
Melón`, not exactly a gospel tune. Or `Watermelon Heart`, by Trini
López version:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfGoA_fcgr4
YouTube also has a Pérez Prado version but with a songstress. It seems
the name also applies to a dating game, a.k.a. Sweet Crush. Ah, what a
learning experience SWLing can be (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NETHERLANDS [non]. 6080, Sat Dec 5 at 2139, tune in on UTwente SDR
to a special broadcast of the Mighty KBC, tnx to a reminder from Alan
Roe. Excellent near-local quality reception in SyncAM mode. ``Waiting
for Santa Claus to enter the studio`` now, and next hour. Rock music,
Dutch and English ads and IDs; 2145 as ``60-80 kHz, 100 kW direct from
Yerevan``.

At 2205 I posted to the WOR, NASWA and BDXC iogroups:

``O o, 2159.5 switch 6080 to AWR IS & ID, Voice of Hope, introducing
2200 Bangla! 2201, switch back to Dutch - KBC. Was this a joke, or
mistake? English, ``the adventure starts here`` --- not Adventist...
Resuming frenetic rock and DJ chatter. commercials in bilanguages.
Frequent IDs ``6080 kHz, direct from Yerevan`` --- not Gavar?? VG
reception via UTwente, not here``

AWR`s Bangla service is listed at 1300 UT only. 2200 would be a bit
early, 4 am local. This was in reply to Alan`s original notes:

``A reminder that The Mighty KBC have a special broadcast tonight on
6080 kHz via Armenia from 2100 to 2300 UT. From the KBC webpage and
Facebook page:

"The Mighty KBC and an uncensored Dave Donkervoort! Saturday 5
December 22:00-24:00! DAB+ 12 B and 6080 kHz. from Yerevan Armenia:
December 5th and Saint Nicholas evening will never be the same! All
times in CET."

Netherlands [non]. Fair signal of the special broadcast for Saint
Nicholas Eve on 6080 kHz via Armenia signing on at 2100 UT. Mostly in
Dutch with some announcements in English. Alan Roe, Teddington, UK``

Donkervoort could be translated Darkaway? His? expressiveness in Dutch
is really excessive. I keep listening to this extravaganza instead of
my usual KUCO post-opera birthday music [the Met Opera season has just
begun all-repeats for obvious reasons, with Prokofiev`s Voyna i Mir
for 4 hours, a bit much; I pass]; at 2254 KBC already says closing
down on SW but music keeps playing until circa 2300 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 1140, Dec 5 at 2013 UT, KRMP OKC is off the air, a hole
in my caradio MW daytime bandscan. The 1 kW daytimer is always audible
otherwise. December official FCC LSS is 2315 UT, so at home on DX-398
I check it from 2306: weak soul music loops SSE, both fittingly; 2313
some ads mentioning OKC, so that`s it. A Progressive commercial is
chopped off the air right at 2315* with no ID, goodbye, national
anthem, sign-off, or retune to FM. How rude!

This Tyler translator is on 92.1, so who cares about the AM. Too much
QRM on FM to hear it here, not including the long-gone KAMG-LP Enid.
As far as FCC knows, that`s still on the air. Nobody paying attention.
If they monitored my log reports, they would have known when it came
and went years ago; ha.

[non]. BTW, 1130 KLEY Wellington KS remains off, forever?
Correspondence that if not back on, license will expire Aug 21, 2021:

http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/getimportletter_exh.cgi?import_letter_id=96705
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** THAILAND. 13750, Dec 6 at 0058 I remember to check Radio Thailand`s
NAm service in English, as Steven Wiseblood has reported it well into
the RGV: ``13750 THAILAND R. Thailand 0030z decent signal with W in EG
reading news, 0035z into M in EG culture in Thailand (Wiseblood-TX
12/06)`` ---

So I bring up the TWR Brownsville SDR in time to hear some music;
break off at 0059, back on at 0100 with the Thai national anthem,
which I was hearing a lot 50 years ago, and into Thai hour. Both only
fair by that Kiwi. HFCC shows a slight beam change from 30 to 38
degrees, why?

The 6-degree azimuth from Udorn for NAm East is at 0000-0030 &
0200-0230 English, 0230-0330 Thai; 30 degrees for NAm West English at
0030-0100 only; shouldn`t the later 0200-0330 segment be for the West?
Anyhow, standard remark that since HSK9 are using USAGM facility, to
reach us much better, they should be on Grimesland! (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2063 monitoring: confirmed Saturday
December 5 at 2048 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, Wentzville MO, VG S9+10 into
nearby Warrenton SDR. After first having detected a JBA carrier direct
in the almost-winter daytime.

Also confirmed Sat Dec 5 at 2300 on WRMI 7780, S7-S8 into Bonaire
sidewise, S9+15 into UTwente directly. Next:

0400vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0415; as late as 0500]

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

** U S A. 5085, Dec 5 at 2045, WTWW-2 is still on with rock music as
it has been all day, built up to VG signal; but by now, 5830, WTWW-2
is off, and so is its alter-ego 9475.

(5085), UT Sat Dec 5 at 0121-0153, $ tereo webcast of WTWW-2 with
`Theatre Organ Under The Arch` lasting 32 minutes. Who`s going to
notice the excess at such odd times? Me (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1370, Dec 5 at 2015 UT, bandscan on caradio finds some
talk station, mentions ``elexion fraud in Michigan``, so far-right
extremist, of course, what else? I`m always looking for KGNO Dodge
City KS, which I never can hear at any daypart, yet purports to be on
the air, so is this it? 1370 tends to be desensitized on radios in
most of Enid by the 1390 KCRC transmitter which is in the
north-central along a major artery, Willow, but I am on the western
outskirts where it is a little weaker and KGNO could be a little
stronger. I try to find a spot away from power line noise by 2030
break, but it`s faded out. On home rig at 2045, two JBA carriers beat
on 1370. Looking at listings, might also have been early skywave this
time of year from e.g. KJCE, Austin market TX, another talker with a
signal thisaway (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)
