** CUBA. 9700, Dec 26 at 0557, RHC English is back here, after switch
back to 6145 last night, // much weaker 6000. Something`s not wrong at
RHC.
Also about 9700, Kenneth Vito Zichi, Williamston MI reports in the
MARE Tipsheet: ``9700 RHC *SPANISH* (yes, something is always wrong,
but really, not so horrible with this mistake) mostly EZL Cuban music
w/brief SS announcements -- which was a good listen! 444+43+ decent
modulation as this channel usually has, 0405-0420 19/Dec RSPdx +SDRuno
+ANC-4 +randomwire --Zichi MI`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GERMANY. Re my report of 9670, 0400+ UT Dec 26, Channel 292 with
RNEI, or ``OSR``? ``Hi Glenn, merry Xmas and happy New Year 2021! That's OHR, Offshore
History Radio. Often used by Channel 292 as a 'filler' between hours
booked by scheduled broadcasters. Heard here with a very weak signal
on 9670 at 0410-0420 this morning, Dec 26. Looks like RNEI either was
aired an hour earlier (current Channel 292 sked shows 0300 today) or
was cancelled for some reason. 73, Dmitry Mezin, Kazan, RUS`` And from Roger Thauer, Germany:
``1.) https://rnei.org/2020/12/21/radio-northern-europe-internationals-christmas-special-announcement/
https://www.channel292.de/s/cc_images/teaserbox_2484508986.jpg I had seen the 0300z entry in the schedule for ch292 beforehand. So I
had already checked the situation at 0300z / 04.00 CET on the 9670
kHz. But, since there was no signal on various KIWI SDRs between
Moscow and Kamschatka, not a trace of a transmitter carrier. 2.) An hour later, the situation as described by Glenn. I was i.a.
also back on the Novosibirsk SDR and saw another user from the USA,
probably him. 3.) The midday broadcast from RNEI via ch292 also on 9670 kHz (on
ordered 293° ===> UK/IRL/US) on yesterday, December 25th, at least
worked. The DRM QAM16 SNR (at the end of the show) reached a peak
value of 17 dB in Carlow [IRL]. roger`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2066 monitoring: at first not

Sailing into your ears from the Lone Star State`` Same program is further scheduled on WBCQ 6159.93v, UT Sun Dec 27 at
0200-0300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 830, Dec 26 circa 0600 UT, no more echoing heard on WCCO.
Replying to my previous reports, Scott Blixt, Minnesota DX Club: ``Re: [MDXC] Why is WCCO 830 echoing? I live here in MN near the Twin
Cities. I did not listen when you did so I`m not sure of any echo
that`s going on. But I will listen more carefully to see if I do hear
it. WCCO does indeed have a back up transmitter site located just North of
Anoka MN. They own the old KTWN/KANO tower that was 1470 back in the
day. I know a fellow DXer who lives a few blocks away. He mentions to
me that they overload the front end of his radio out when they are
using this transmitter It is only miles from the Coon Rapids site they use on a day to day
basis. Perhaps someone else in the MDXC will have more info to share``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. RF 15, Dec 26 at 1643, marginal tropo blob from here into S
and SE Kansas visiblizes KSNW-DT ``3`` Wichita. The only DX decoding
via my broken antenna; and despite my ``local`` KOPX OKC on RF 15.
Only Wichita station making it, not even Bad signals on open others.
First time I think since repacked from RF 45 altho many times KOPX has
been QRMed out by something, probably this. Subchannels:
3-1, KSNW-DT [NBC]
3-2, T`Mundo --- yes, apparently apostrophied in tiny font PSIP, not
Telemun as in rabbitears.info
3-3, ION
3-4, TCN --- True Crime Network, a.k.a. Justice but no such ID seen.
I also got some good freeze-frame breakup shots, all-red & white

** 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

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) This report dispatched at 0450 UT December 26

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

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

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) This report dispatched at 0450 UT December 26
