** ERITREA [non]. 17545+, Sat Dec 12 at *1529, I think a JJBBA carrier
may cut on as I am QRX for Bayto Yaikl. After breakfast by 1541 it`s
surged to JBA, enough to try to measure it, but as I toggle
lower/upper BFO to compute the center, it keeps fluxuating roughly
17545.05 to 17545.07. Anyhow, it`s still active on Saturdays as well
as Wednesdays.

Then to remotes, as I also want to try TDOA DFing since there is still
doubt whether site really be ISSoudun, FRANCE. There are far too many
in Europe, too few in Africa & Mideast on the Kiwi roster. Little or
nothing at Qatar, Canary, Ukraine, while TWR RSA is getting it well,
S7-S9, but you need at least two, preferably three or more.

RSA in SAM mode also shows carrier Hz offset constantly fluxuating
plus: 62.1, *67.6, 64.7, 61.7, 57.0, 51.7, 45.0, *36.8, 42.6, 47.6,
51.5, 54.9, 58.3, 61.3, 63.7, 65.8, *67.4, 65.6, 62.2, 58.5, 53.2,
47.2, *37.7, 41.0, etc., etc. I`ve starred the maxima and minima, 67.6
& 36.8 in one cycle, 67.4 & 37.7 in the second. Already wrapping up
around 1554 citing kHz, to cutoff at 1558* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 6170-6175-6180, Dec 12 at 0704, DRM noise I had not
noticed here before: it`s RRI in German at 0700-0730, 90 kW, 307
degrees from Tsiganeshti (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non]. 17895, Dec 12 at 1601, I still have the Qatar KiwiSDR
running after trying to get Bayto Yaikl 17545 on it, so tune around
the 16mb for anything else, finding nothing but VOA YL news here,
S7/S9+10; 1605 outro as ``via remote, Laurel Berman`` (sp?), working
from home, I guess, and into `Nightline Africa`, OM host I think says
he is originating from Accra, Ghana. So they don`t have to avoid Pack
or Reilly in the hallways, studios or offices! 17895 site is BOTSWANA
at 16-18, preceded by SAO TOME at 15-16, which is preceded by Sa`udi
Riyadh at 12-15.

[BTW, I strongly suspect the NPR newscasters on the hour are also
working-from-home, due to different audio quality and slight delays]
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9975, re reactivated KVOH I have yet to hear, not on around
0200 Dec 12; but Ivo Ivanov was hearing it by 0630 on a California
remote. Ray Robinson points out about the new program schedule; the
header timing until 1100 refers to part of the webcast, not broadcast;
and SW times are 00-02 Spanish, 02-07 English. Perhaps it will be on
UT Sunday, but never on UT Monday, the delayed Sabbath.

17775- remains off after 1600 Saturday Dec 12 when `Wavescan` would
have aired; unclear if & when it will be fixed, but maybe not soon as
KVOH have turned on another transmitter for 9975, a long dormant but
always registered transmission they could have been doing all along
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL [and non]. 11905-11910-11915, Fri Dec 11 at 2210, at the
Brasília KiwiSDR, main signal is in AM mode, Japanese, i.e. NHK from
the antipodes as already scheduled on 11910, tho a bit of DRM noise
underneath. When switched to DRM reception, no decode of course. RNA`s
second frequency choice is not so good either. The local SDR used to
get enough DRM signal to decode, but not as well as further.

I soon switch to Bonaire SDR: now that`s getting RNA-DRM, with SNR 14+
dB, S7-S8, and 13.06 kbps, instead of 14.06 as before. The particular
DRM mode has changed as someone noted. I`m checking now, whether `A
Voz do Brasil` is on this transmission since the format of Nacional FM
96.1 is mostly music? Yes, it is: 2224 a snippet of `White Xmas` ---
really, in the tropix? and EBC ID. 2225 a segment produced by
government Justice Dept., R. Justiça. Now the S/N has climbed to 17,
S7-S8; concludes with ``até segunda``, i.e. back on Monday; 2230
switch to `O Jornal do Senado`, also até segunda, so AVDB is made up
of segments by various government entities. I wonder if everything has
to be pro-Bolsonaro? I`m not going to listen enough to decide. Recheck
at 2316, now classical music which I have not encountered before on FM
96.1, instead of MPB; but at SNR around 15 is suffering dropouts
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SCOTLAND [non]. 5800, UT Sat Dec 12 at 0300, once again this week,
WRMI is giving `Encore` a non-encore, but rather all the other airings
are, as this is the first one, and a time Brice Avery continues to
overlook? in his publicity; a secret bonus? I listen to most of it now
so I don`t have to catch it some other time. I happen to have the
Anna, Texas SDR running to check for KVOH 9975, so switch it to 5800
--- not so good, somewhat noisy, while Brasília would be better for
this if not RNA itself. At least `Encore` is never in DRM, so no
dropouts! However, via Anna there are several, like seven, brief
interruptions to the classical music by YL gospel huxter in Spanish,
and stronger on the meter, S9+25 vs S9+5, yet the tuner keeps
displaying 5800! I hasten to switch back to Brasil whether it`s really
happening to 5800 WRMI? Not quick enough, but I don`t think so. Occurs
again at 0354. Must be a defect at Anna, which is north of Dallas on
the way to Sherman. Or someone in Anna is messing with 5800 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2064 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday December 12 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, S9+10 into UTwente. BTW
this edition unusually has a clip, not just me talking, of the 17790
gaming IS and WRMI ID --- wait for it. Next:

** U S A. (7490.1v), UT Sat Dec 12 at 0104, WBCQ webcast of `AAAWWW`
starts with ``a dear friend passed away``, but apparently not a human,
rather the Arecibo radio-telescope, which AHW also dealt with last
week, but this week keeps on about it past 0120, how important it
is/was for scientific research, but somehow mixes in racism and
politix, blaming `Moonbats` and the government for not spending more
on it. 0126 anti-obesity; blaming China for inventing COVID-19 since
previous virus did not do enough damage, and this one is
``smarter``.

Even in wake of latest SCOTUS ruling, AHW is sure Trump will get the
next 4 years --- ``or we`ll never have an accurate presidential
elexion again`` [???]. Angela`s comments mix in, but she tends to yell
more than Allan, distorting her modulation, and generally sounds even
more radical than Allan.

0136 he timestamps this as 11 December, YOOL 2020; from Studio 9 in
central FL where I think he said they had some frost; judges temp by
how little clothing Angela is wearing. Still looking for 1 or 2 or
more good engineers to hire for work at Monticello on the
SuperStation. WHRI takeover? Still delayed approval from FCC due to
COVID, working at home. 0140 a caller upon whom I zone out more. 0148
reads an article from Radio World about CHU Canada; 0158 benedixion
and over (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17775-, re KVOH still missing in my last report, Ray
Robinson replies at 0137 UT Sat Dec 12 on the WOR iog:

``Hi, Glenn. It's not a power issue - that came back late Tuesday
night [UT Dec 9]. And BTW, it hasn't quite been a full week. We were
on last Saturday as normal. But, with regard to this week, I can't
answer, because I don't really know. Our engineer has been trying to
get to the root cause of a shorting problem in the transmitter, that
he thought was fixed yesterday, but obviously wasn't. We'll be back as
soon as we can, but look for us now on 9975 from 0000 UT. New schedule
is here: http://voiceofhope.com/schedule/kvoh_program_grid.pdf
Ray.``

Shows Tue-Sun *0000-0300 UT Spanish, 0300-0700* UT English, yet
heading says until 3 AM Pacific = 1100 UT! I replied:

``Ray, Since 0150 UT Saturday to 0200, checking remotes in Texas and
Bonaire, no signal on 9975. Is it really on? Have not checked my own
radio yet. Which transmitter is that, the Shoffner-Harris? I suppose
the sked days of week refer to US not UT -- so Wavescan would be UT
Sun & Tue at 0300, right, not UT Sat & Mon? Glenn``

No 9975 signal either here when checked at 0218. Ray replied: ``Hi,
Glenn. No, KVOH is not on (although it should be!). And, yes, the
sched days are North American, not UT. Ray.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re <<< 18124-USB, Dec 11 at 1545, K4NYM calling ``CQ Parks
on the Air``, from #4646 in central Florida, but did not catch name of
it. Hams are always coming up with excuses for contests, hi.>>>

``Yes, many hams love contests, cf <https://www.contestcalendar.com>,
but POTA is not really a contest. It’s an *ongoing* operating activity
for hams who like to operate away from home, visiting parks.
73, Saul W3WHK Broudy, Philadelphia, PA. USA`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Logs
** AZORES [non]. 13306-USB, Dec 11 at 1553, GLO9680 ID repeatedly in
2-way comms, aircraft to ground I assume, also re-referring to
position 37N, 40W. Search on call leads right to a flight tracking
site for today, from MCO Orlando to SMA Santa Maria - Açores. Which
fits for approaching Azores from WSW. Company is GOL despite callsigns
as GLO----. All about this twice-weekly flight:
https://www.airportia.com/flights/g39680/orlando/vila_do_porto/

EiBi shows 13306 as a North-Atlantic ATC frequency shared by ground
stations New York, Gander, Keflavik, Shannon as well as Santa Maria.

Santa Maria is a minor island; why is it the major air terminal
instead of Ponta Delgada on the next major island, São Miguel? Lajes,
NATO base, is on a third island, Terceira (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 392-MCW kHz, Dec 11 at 0712 UT, ND beacon ML -- at times
seems like a third letter but there is definitely a dash so it`s not
plain old 25-watt ML in Monroe, Louisiana, but 500-watt ML in La
Malbaie - Charlevoix, Québec. La Malbaie is on the left bank of the
St-Laurent, not quite as far as Rivière-du-Loup on the right.

326-MCW kHz, Dec 11 at 0723 UT, NDB YQK, which is 200 watts in Kenora,
Ontario (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 7435, Dec 11 at 1435, romantic Chinese songs, S9+10/20 and
one of best signals on band, announcement in Russian and more song, as
CRI sked this hour from SZG site at 37 degrees, i.e. for DVR/DBP and
carrying on far beyond to us. Simulsked is CRI Nepali hour westward
from Kunming, but no sign of it here. How considerate of the ChiCom to
double up, reducing overall frequency occupancy (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 5980, Dec 11 at 0249, vs Cuban pulse jamming
against no Martí, I heard two other weak stations mixing, and they are
not WWCR and WWCR as 5890 is not on yet so cannot leap over 5935. One
music and one talk; I soon recognize the music as IRAN`s IS, yes, as
the two-sesquihour Spanish service is just concluding; and Aoki/NDXC
shows the other must be AWR in another PJ, Punjabi via AUSTRIA. I
should think the Spanish from Sirjan would be a bit of a QRM problem
in the Punjab, as well as the 0200 Urdu in the Pakistan; counting on
skip-distance factor, azimuth? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Dec 11 at 0251, RHC is S9+10/20 but as usual on this
transmitter, just barely modulated: I can make out the news sounder
and presumed English. Something`s always wrong at RHC, but not
complaining since that facilitates my adjacent 5995 & 6005 logs (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ERITREA [non]. 17545+v, Dec 11 at 1543, no signal from Bayto Yaikl,
so Friday is another DOW it is inoperative via France; next to
reconfirm whether it still be Saturdays from 1530 as well as
Wednesdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUATEMALA. 4055, re TGAV missing, finally word about this received
from Dr Madrid on Dec 11:

Transmitter Radio Truth Dec 11 at 3:33 PM - Véalo en Español al final

Dear Friends of Radio Truth: Radio Truth's Omnitronix 1000 burned out
on the fifth of December 2020 by 10:00 o'clock in the morning. Both
power modules were burned out, so, Radio Truth is out of air ever
since.

We fixed Module 'A' today and I went to test it. It worked alright
during five minutes, and then, a fuse burned out. We plan to review
tomorrow. Module 'B' has a card with a burned area on the printed
circuit. It may need a new card, or rebuilding the old one. So, this
is the reason why we are off air on short wave.

However, we are on the air of Internet through our Web Site
Radio Verdad | Estación Educativa Evangélica de Chiquimula
Open the red link.
http://www.radioverdad.org/?q=escuchar-en-vivo

Beginning yesterday, we are also transmitting on Radio Truth
International via satellite on the same frequency of 4055 Khz, and we
need your reports if you get to tune it.

May God bless you and keep you on a good health.

Dr. Édgar Amílcar Madrid
Manager and Director
Radio Truth,
Chiquimula, Guatemala, C. A.``

The ``satellite broadcast on 4055`` refers to an unexplained method
supposed to give worldwide coverage which he has been expecting for
years, and which we think is a scam (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 13785+, Dec 11 at 1356, JBA carrier slightly offset+,
so UAE? Kuwait? Close, but Aoki/NDXC shows the only 13785 is ``R.
Saudi``, in Arabic at 1200-1357, whew, almost missed it; and before
1200 is on ``13780``. No time to measure it (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SUDAN SOUTH [non]. 6005, Dec 11 at 0329, Arabic about Akhbar, or is
it Akbar, and Radio Tamazuj ID, 0330 `Horn of Africa` music, S9+10/20.
Site? MADAGASCAR at 0330-0430. //? I can`t remember but EiBi shows
7315 France and 11650 also Madagascar. S.S. isn`t really in the HoA,
the Somalia elbow, but close enough. 0344 more IDs in passing. Despite
its JBM, 6000 RHC is so strong that it still helps to tune to
6005-USB. Could be worse if fully modulating and splattering like it
does later on 6100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TAIWAN. 6865.117, Dec 11 at 1410, VP S3-S4 in Chinese? talk, as
Sound of Hope is listed by EiBi on 6865.1; no jamming which would
likely be on 6865.0. Comparing to CNR1 jammers on 6125 & 6070, does
not match (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TAIWAN [and non]. 6075, Dec 11 at 1421, CNR1 jammer mixing with
something else in Chinese, i.e. target RTI. // 6125, CNR1 only
non-jammer and probably also an RTI/CNR1 mix on 6180. When previously
heard until 1600*, 6075 was CNR1 only with no sign of Taiwan, off
earlier? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** THAILAND. 6765-USB, Dec 11 at 1359, multi-tone IS, 1400
announcement, maybe English but only made out ``kilohertz`` and off.
Not in Aoki/NDXC, but in EiBi as Bangkok Meteorological Radio on
6765.1, never specifying SSB where applicable. Might have been .1 but
in very weak SSB with no carrier it`s hard to pinpoint; whew, almost
missed it. Sked is 1200-1400 and two-hour broadcasts alternating with
one hour off thruout the 24. // 8743 but nothing by the time I tune
by. Used to QSL nicely and maybe still does despite elimination from
WRTH years ago as too utility, I guess (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 326-MCW kHz, Dec 11 at 0719 UT, ND beacon ODX, 25 watts at
Ord, Nebraska. Ord is in central NE between Elyria and Scotia. A nice
``DX`` catch, but why not ``ORD``? There is no such NDB in Chicago
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7457-USB, Dec 11 at 1430, AFA4UY, AF MARS net inquiring
about relays; net designator is 4TX2 uttered by next station,
stronger, AFS43O, all fonetikaly; latter call is strange format, and
ending in letter O, not number zero.

Searching on latter call and MARS leads to one very significant hit,
which might be interesting for further reading of 151 pages, and
*unclassified*:
https://www.qsl.net/aga6la/AFMARS_MOI-2020%20_12-22-2019.pdf

AIR FORCE MARS OPERATING INSTRUCTION (MOI)
Effective 01 January 2020 Revised as of 01 December 2019
Issuing Authority; Headquarters USAF MARS
COMPLIANCE WITH THIS PUBLICATION BY AFMARS MEMBERS IS MANDATORY
THIS IS A USAF MARS POLICY DOCUMENT

Incredible amount of mily-burocratic info, but not the specifics we
need such as frequencies, skeds, and full roster of callsigns with
names and locations. However, searching within on AFS43O we find that
to be in Georgia, not TX, as part of the 44th AF MARS Communications
Group. No hits on AFA4UY, 7457 or 4TX2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

has now been off for a full week; still due to SCE powercuts vs fire
hazard? What`s the latest, Ray? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ZANZIBAR. 6015, Dec 11 at *0329, as Ron Howard has tipped, ZBC cuts
on about now, nothing there a minute earlier, S8-S9 but VP with YL in
presumed Swahili talk. Allegedly still on 11735 in their evenings, but
not heard here in a long time, underpowered? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Re 4095.37, my log of a carrier, from Desert Whooper?
Joe Caberlin, Ontario replies at 1324 UT Dec 11: ``4095.4, barely
readable on WO7I sdr rx 7:14 a.m. EST [1214 UT], 60 bpm. 73 joe``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5995, Dec 11 at 0345, algo JBA here, unseems
off-frequency so not BBC via UAE in Arabic as previously noted? Or
ZNBC Radio 1, ZAMBIA? EiBi shows it from *0412, irregularly
earlier/all-night. Tuning LSB to minimise 6000 RHC, just barely
modulated but very strong (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6900-6950, Dec 11 at 1402, very wideband rapid pulsing
with multi-carriers and tone, S9+10 with some fading. Maybe another
kind of OTH radar, wiping out most of the pirate band (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 7515.5-USB, Dec 11 at 1432, 2-way in Spanish discussing
putas, lots of cambios on split frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 1937 UT December 11

Logs
** BRAZIL. 11905-11910-11915-DRM, Dec 10 at 0300, Nacional FM 96.1
music is still the modulation on the RNA test, VG into Bonaire SDR
with an S/N fluxuating around 20 dB. Four hours earlier it was not
decoding (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 396-MCW, Dec 10 at 0724 UT, dash and YPH, which is 500-watt
NDB at Inukjuak, Quebec. I last logged it at 0759 UT Nov 29, 2019 when
I researched it: ``on the east shore of Hudson Bay, 2845 km = 1768
statute miles from me. `Inukjuak is a northern village located on
Hudson Bay at the mouth of the Innuksuak River in Nunavik, in the
Nord-du-Québec region of northern Quebec, Canada. Its population is
1,757 as of the 2016 Canadian Census. An older spelling is
Inoucdjouac; its former name was Port Harrison. Wikipedia``` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** COLOMBIA? 4940, Dec 10 at 0346, VG via Bonaire SDR, anonymous
mystery missionary station, reportedly carrying webcast of Fuerza de
Paz Radio. Here it is for further comparison:

http://www.invubu.com/radio/show/station/fuerzadepaz/Fuerza-de-Paz.html
but it is *not* the same when I check now, one in music, the other in
talk; or far out of snych (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GUATEMALA. 4055, Thu Dec 10 at 0556, no signal from TGAV Radio
Verdad, before nominal sign-off circa 0610 except earlier UT Mondays.
Also as of Dec 10, Rick Barton in AZ says he has not heard it since
1100 Dec 2.

We keep getting notices from Dr Madrid about his audiovideos on
Youtube, which appear to be his priority, but nothing about the SW
being down. There was however news about this Dec 5 on Cadena DX FB:

``Édgar Amílcar Madrid Morales December 4 at 11:53 AM --- ``DISCULPAS
El transmisor de Radio Verdad se quemó. Estoy intentando repararlo con
la ayuda de Dios. Ahora transmitimos por Internet`` as forwarded Dec 5
by:

``Jose Hernandez Madrid shared a post. December 5 at 2:43 PM --- Nos
informa el amigo Édgar Amílcar Madrid Morales, que Radio Verdad, está
fuera del aire en Banda Tropical, por los 4055 Khz, por avería grave
en el transmisor.``

Spanish ``se quemó`` = it burned itself, but is that more like English
burned up, or burned out --- not the same. He did say, trying to
repair it, and with god`s help, which implies it could be the former
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** INDIA. 11560, Dec 10 at 1524, S Asian music at S4-S6, so AIR is
modulating today unlike 25+ hours ago when John Figliozzi, Halfmoon
NY, was getting dead air at S9+20, 1415 when supposed to switch from
Dari to Pashto (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PUERTO RICO. 391-MCW kHz, Dec 10 at 0725 UT, NDB DDP which is 1000
watts from San Juan - Dorado. Always neat to hear this far one, often
absent from bandscans. Also audible when tuned to 389-USB. BTW, I
habitually tune downward, and may well doze off before I get to 200 or
even 300 kHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 410-MCW kHz, Dec 10 at 0716 UT, NDB BA which is 25 watts
from Columbus - Clifford, Indiana. Also heard when tuned to 408-USB;
and on 410 CCI from something weaker. There are lots listed on 410.

404-MCW kHz, Dec 10 at 0721 UT, NDB XCR which is 25 watts from Little
Falls - Camp Ripley, Minnesota

400-MCW kHz, Dec 10 at 0723 UT, NDB AHQ which is 25 watts from Wahoo,
Nebraska (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 475+ kHz, Dec 10 at 0714, WA4SZE BEACON is still active from
Dave Frantz at WWRB Manchester TN; very slow CW and stronger than the
NDBs lower.

Except for some birdies, there is quite a blank area below down to
426-MCW, where the UV beacon is heard again. 428 is the highest listed
conterminous US NDB channel, for POH in Arkansas. In between I think
it used to be a marine ship/shore CW band, apparently abandoned (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2063 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday December
9 from 2100:21 on WBCQ 7490.16v, S9+10/20, as always precisely timed
like that, and not last week`s show this week.

Also confirmed Wed Dec 9 at 2300 on WRMI 9955, VG S9+20/30 into
Bonaire SDR, with jamming under JBA.

Also confirmed UT Thu Dec 10 on WRMI 7780, S9 into UTwente SDR.

New WOR 2064 should be ready by early UT Fri Dec 11 for first
broadcasts at 0130 on WRMI 5850 & 5010 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Dec 10 at 1528, this WRMI-3 is still on with Jesus
song fill, but then Jeff White outros as having been Freedom Synergy
Radio and offering QSL for this on 5800 [sic] reporting to
radiomiami9@gmail.com. 1529 starts a couple words of Spanish, 1530
switches to Brother Scare with quite a buzz, now // 9455 with somewhat
less buzz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17775-, Dec 10 at 1518, no signal from KVOH; power still
shut off for fire danger? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Dec 10 at 0600:
531, 558, 612, 621, 693, 711, 774, 855, 882, 891 ... where I stopped.

Resuming at 0709-0713: 891, 909, 1044, 1053, 1089, 1098, 1107(2),
1116, 1215 and none higher (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4095.37, Dec 10 at 0557, constant JBA carrier; is that
the DW ``Desert Whooper`` beacon last reported slightly higher, and
not yet heard directly here? Or a local birdie. Joe Caberlin in
Ontario has been keeping after it via remotes in the West:

Dec 5, frequency not mentioned: ``Checked about 5 sdrs at 2055z and
the best signal was on KFS SDR, 69.27.184.58:8076 barely s 3 to 4. 73
Joe``

Dec 8: ``4095.8 lsb, transiting 60 pips per minute approximately;
transmitting about 60 dots per minute now. 1109 UT.
websdr3.sdrutah.org.8093 Northern Utah WebSDR - Server #3`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
