Logs
** BRAZIL. 9665v, Dec 25 at 2314, lucky RVM English ID just as I tune
in direct, with frequencies 9665, 5940 and another, AM or FM (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL [and non]. 9819.1 approx., Dec 25 at 2317, het about here to
a 9820.0 signal. R. Nove de Julho nominal 9820 has been on the minus
side of 9819 for quite a while, but maybe this be it up a bit; during
this hour both V. of Beibu Bay Radio, China and CNR2 CBR are
scheduled. At 0125, Vilhena, Brasil SDR in SAM mode shows carrier at
plus 136v Hz from 9819, JBA to the ear. But is Beibu off-frequency
too? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. Re my last report about Saskatchewan ND beacons, ``only two
of them are 3-letters starting with Y. Most are only two letters, some
even a letter and a number --- never heard one of those --- and six
are Z + two letters``

``Glenn, the number-letter ones are privately owned and not maintained
by NavCan. The two-letter beacons are usually locator ‘outer-marker’
beacons associated with a particular runway. A few years ago many of
the two-letter ones had a ‘Z’ added to them. Most if not all of these
three-letter ones are ‘approach’ or ‘enroute’ beacons. Steve / VE7SL``
McDonald (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY. 9670, Dec 26 at 0400 I`m trying to hear R Northern Europe
International xmas special as sked via Channel 292. Not for N America
since the beam is 60 degrees for SE Asia. A bit too north for that so
I try the Novosibirsk SDR first --- it is getting something S4-S5, but
very noisy and QRMed, Chinese on 9675. Nothing else is sked on 9670 at
this hour. I do make out some rock music and Dutch announcements,
later English, but too bad to listen to. How about New Delhi or Qatar?
No signals at all there. Yet at 0430 I check Novosib again as they are
saying something like ``OSR Offshore Radio`` and music continues,
``American Pie``. So it`s an hour, not half an hour.

RNEI has another Xmas broadcast UT Thu Dec 31 at 0100 on WRMIs 5010 &
5850 which will surely be better for us. That is its regular spot.
Their publicity at
https://rnei.org/2020/12/21/radio-northern-europe-internationals-christmas-special-announcement/
says there are some ``data features`` such as comb stereo (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA [and non]. 7220, Dec 25 at 2307, Xmas discussion in
English, clip in Romanian, so RRI hour, 300 kW at 300 degrees from
Galbeni, but intended only for W Europe, not us beyond. Is it at a
higher vertical angle than for multihops? Considerable CCI from
Vietnamese, which is CRI via Xi`an not thisaway (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Dec 25 at 2302, no signal from VOT English to North
America. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2066 monitoring: NOT confirmed UT Saturday
December 26 at 0130 on WRMI 7780 --- replaced by Wavescan. Checking
the skedgrids, most of the Systems have been updated as of Dec 24 or
25, jumbling programming around, involving further reduxions to WOR;
still including several imaginary airings in the 21-22 and 10-11 UT
hours. From http://www.tinyurl.com/WRMIfqs here is what we now find on
WRMI:

Fri 0130 on 5010, 5850
Sat 0130 on 7780 - canceled
Sat 1300 on 15770
Sat 2300 on 7780 -- never on sked but heard, maybe still?
Mon 0030 on 7730
Mon 0130 on 7780 - canceled
Mon 0230 on 5800, 7780
Mon 0430 on 9955
Tue 0100 on 7780 - canceled
Tue 0330 on 5800 - ? Freedom Synergy Radio last week, but not on sked
Wed 2300 on 9955
Thu 0130 on 5010, 7780 -- ex 0100 on 7780 --- but expected to be
pre-
empted Dec 31 for Mundo Sorprendente

BTW the skedgrid is confused regarding 5010 in the 01-02 UT hour: on
System D it`s // 7780; but it`s also on System F // 5850!

So here is the revised `next` schedule including other stations:

1300 UT Saturday WRMI 15770 to NE
2030vUT Saturday WA0RCR 1860-AM
2300 UT Saturday WRMI 7780 to NE
0400vUT Sunday WA0RCR 1860-AM [nominal 0415; as late as 0500]
2300vUT Sunday WBCQ 6160v Area 51 to WSW
0030 UT Monday WRMI 7730 to WNW
0230 UT Monday WRMI 7780 to NE, 5800 to SSE
0430 UT Monday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE
1900vUT Monday IRRS 7290 Bulgaria to WNW, 594-Italy
0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 5800 to SSE [but not last week]
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

One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US funds, to:
woradio at yahoo.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5800, UT Sat Dec 26 at 0300, WRMI succeeds in airing the
Texas Radio Shortwave Xmas special of Texas artists; opens briefly
with YROT alla marcia theme; Third Mate Susan opens with a set of 3
concluding with Roy Orbison until 0311; another 3-song set starting
with Beyoncé; she sings Silent Night. At 0315 I am getting it direct
at S9+20 but the damn xmas high local noise level is S9+10, too much
to overcome, so I am mainly listening via Bonaire remote where it`s
S9/+15 but without the noise. 0318 Xmas Time in TX. Susan announces
each 3-song set, preceded by a Merry Xmas jingle with a medley. I
listen to the whole hour but do not try to copy name of every Texan
and song. 0322 e-QSL offer, cowboy poet; 0326 polka; 0333 Spur 327
Band, West TX Xmas; 0342 Willie Nelson, Blue Xmas; 0345 Jingle Bells
new version; 0354 Xmas Nite in Haarlem; 0356 outro and e-QSL offer
again; more to come in 2021; 0356.5 YROT theme plays out to 0359 WRMI
ID (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. (6160v), UT Sat Dec 26 at 0100-0200, `AAAWWW` on Area 51/61
webcast for convenience at the computer, not checking 6160 or 7490
direct: ``brown xmas`` at Maine, no snow now and it`s axually warmer
than in central FL where the Weiners are. Astronomy lesson. 0116 calls
J.P. to ask him about his 60-year-old Xmas lights; 0129 datestamp as
25th of December YOOL 2020. 0130+ discussing taking vaccine or not,
science can be corrupt. Trump mentioned only briefly once or twice.
0145 IEEE article about Fessenden`s Xmas eve first broadcast ever;
Allan acknowledges that it is disputed but gives him benefit of doubt.
0154 items from last week`s Free Radio Weekly, twice referring to SSTV
as ``single sideband TV`` instead of slow-scan. 0158 prayer; 0200
webcast switches to Lumpy Gravy. At least on webcast and probably on
air, both of them are somewhat ``in the red``,
overmodulating/distorting even in ordinary speech (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 5085, Dec 25 at 2259, dead air from WTWW-2, about to open?
Very strong S9+40/45 yet plus/minus ~13 kHz spur carriers not
detected. QRN level alone is S9+20. But at 0302 Dec 26 I notice on the
MO remote that 5085 is off.

9475-, Dec 25 at 2312, WTWW-1 SFAW day frequency still unusually on,
S9+40/50 but undermodulated, hummy (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Reply to my KFCD 990 TX log: ``KFCD was rather dominant on
990 here in IL last night. 73 KAZ`` from Neil Kazaross, near Chicago,
who to the NE should be in null even of their day pattern NW/SE. So
maybe they were totally out of whack, or non-direxional (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** VATICAN [non]. 9580, Dec 25 at 2313, 1 kHz tone at S8-S9. It`s VR
via USAGM Tinang, Philippines, about to start beaming Vietnamese
half-sesquihour at 2315 due west, violating Separation of Church &
State. Shux, I don`t expect these relay exchanges to be abolished with
a pious Catholic president, which is likely the most critical thing I
will have to say about dear Joe (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COSTA RICA. First item in last report was typoed --- ha: ``OOSTA
RICA - A new country! :) 73, Jim K5JG`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 6145, Dec 25 at 0437, RHC English reactivated here!
A-20 frequency is back instead of B-20 9700 --- deliberate, or a
mistake? Maybe for holiday an inexperienced sloppyrator substitute
remembers only where this transmitter used to be tuned. Or decided
that 9 MHz band is too high to propagate reliably? Well, at 0454, I
find that Spanish on 9650 is still S9+25 and always weaker 9535 still
audible too. Back at 0437, 6145 is // 6000 but as usual it`s JBM.
There is also something JBA talking not // on 9700, which would be
Turkey at 0350-0656 per Aoki/NDXC, a good reason for RHC to avoid 9700
during those two sesquihours. By 0659, 6145 is wrapping up another
English hour and 0700 to dead air. By now nothing is on 6000 or 9700.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7490v, Dec 25 at 0400, no show for scheduled Texas Radio SW
Xmas special via WBCQ; 7490 inaudible, but webcast is carrying usual
conspiracy-wacko talkshow. TRSW does not seem to be on 6160v either.
For some weeks, WBCQ has been turning off 7490 NLT than 0430 when WHRI
starts, so two reasons why an hour special at 0400 should never have
been booked. Better luck, we hope, the next publicized time for TRSW
Xmas, 0300-0400 UT Sat Dec 26 on WRMI 5800 --- tho that might be iffy
too, as for at least three nights this week, WRMI has dedicated that
hour to Freedom Synergy Radio replacing everything else on the
schedule. Missed checking what happened UT Friday (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 5830, Dec 25 at 0438, WTWW-1 is on with SFAW at S9+30/20 but
with continuous ``popping`` sound caused by modulation peaks but not
during pauses. With BFO I can also hear/see that the carrier is
split-secondly dropping down in coordination. Clearly transmitter is
ailing. And it`s *still* on at 1523 S9/+10 and 1612 chex attaining
SSOB status as who else around here would be on 51m in daytime? Oh
well, CFRX on 49mb and WRMI on 50 mb but much weaker.

At 1845 I check via KB0FX SDR in MO, finding 5830 off, algo JBA on
9475, Iran in Hausa listed at 1820-1920; while 5085 WTWW-2 is running
Xmasmx in daytime, but dumps off promptly at 1846*.

9475, however, by own recheck at 1940 now is WTWW-1 on with SFAW and
the second SSOB at S9+20, below S9+30/40 9980 WWCR TOMBS (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 990, Dec 25 at 0448 UT, dominant signal in Spanish plugging
churches in Irving TX, 214 AC phones, so it`s not XET Monterrey and
certainly not CBW Winnipeg, ``clear`` channel 50 kWs which ought to
have this channel to themselves at night, but there are loads of
supposedly diminished-power US stations, including this one, KFCD, CoL
Farmersville TX, U4, 7000/920 watts. Must be on day power and pattern
of NW/SE lobes favoring us, rather than tiny night lobe to the SW. But
the gospel huxters think they don`t have to follow secular rules
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
