** 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

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

** INDIA. 11560, Dec 10 at 1524, S Asian music at S4-S6, so AIR is

** PUERTO RICO. 391-MCW kHz, Dec 10 at 0725 UT, NDB DDP which is 1000

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

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

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

** BRAZIL. 11905-11910-11915 DRM, Dec 9 at 0215, RNA FM 96.1 music
still testing, at first not decoding into Brasília or Bonaire SDRs,
S/N ratio too low; better around 0400 into Bonaire but with dropouts
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** COLOMBIA? 4940, Dec 9 at 0212, anonymous mystery missionary
station, usual gospel huxter in Spanish, VG S9/+10 into TWR Bonaire
SDR. The very active CadenaDX FB, organized primarily by Santiago San
Gil G. in Venezuela, has been reporting on this, trying to locate it
by reception quality and triangulation during a coördinated overnight
monitoring project, Dec 5 from 2230 until 1030.

Here`s a thread, pointed out by Claudio Galaz in Chile:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/531629043622500/permalink/3496506927134682/?app=fbl

It was also roughly translated into the WRTH FB, via Ron Howard, WOR
iog. They think it may be in Arauca on the Venezuelan border, if not
across the border. This is in the NE corner of Colombia, while my own
attempts at TDOA DFing via Kiwi SDRs had among some obvious far-off
suggestions, landed circa Puerto Ayacucho, Venezuela, further down the
Colombian border.

Someone also heard the catch-phrase ``Fuerza de Paz``, which is one of
the names associated with Martin Stendal`s ministry with ex-stations
on 5910 & 6010, as well as ``Colombia para Cristo``. However, I assume
this was mentioned in the old recordings rather than an explicit ID
for the 4940 station. They found the station apparently broadcasting
the continuous stream of Fuerza de Paz Radio.

Meanwhile, I have undertaken a different approach. Lack of IDs or
locations announced implies it is not licensed, so is there anything
about it in official Colombian government radio licensing info? I
asked Jim Thomas, who is familiar with researching FM info in Latin
American official websites for WTFDA`s FM database, for the current SW
info, which he forwarded to me.

Each tropical band, 120, 90 and 60 m has a long list of possible
frequencies, each with a channel number. They all end in -5, not -0,
IIRC a long-ago arrangement with Venezuela which used -0 frequencies.
4935 is Canal 175 and 4945 is Canal 176. As I also reported
previously, there used to be a YV station on 4940. Now there are NO
Colombian or Venezuelan tropical band SW stations on the air, except
for this one, whichever it may be. Should it be licensed in Colombia
nevertheless, this listing is from April 2019, long before it appeared
on the air, so would not necessarily be included.

[As an aside, the official webpage goes on to assign channel numbers
to the International SW bands from 188 on 5905, up to Canal 898 on
26095! and to which a few lower stations were still on the books altho
we know all of them have been gone for years, except the latest ones
being 6010 & 5910 which tested briefly this year; including callsigns
and STL frequencies in the 300-MHz band, by departments, each 5 kW
except Bogotá 20 kW, which were of course Rdif. Nacional; FYI:

Arauca: Turbo, 6085, HJTF
Cundinamarca: Bogotá, 9635 HJGG; 9700 HJGR; 11795 HJGT; 15335 HJGV;

** CUBA. 6100, Dec 9 at 0656, RHC is S9+30 of dead air in English but
with some hum; 6000 is S9+20 and suptorted; but 9700, only S8-S9 has
good modulation. Something`s always wrong at RHC.

BTW, my DX PROGRAMS sexion of Dec CIDX Messenger altho dated Dec 5
somehow did not show the latest updates such as 9700 ex-6145 for DXers

** MALI. 17880.0, Dec 9 at 1618, S7-S9 instrumental music sounds
vaguely Christian and slightly off-frequency+plus, yet adjusted
measurement close to .000 --- I may have to recalibrate. Also not
adding up is this listed as CRI in Arabic via Bamako; another service
defaulting to surely secular fill music? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. RF 22, Dec 9 at 1637 UT, Level-3 tropo
enhancement for 1500 predicted over the 4-corners OK/AR/MO/KS area,
with lesser rings outward, Enid on the edge between 1 and 2, and
almost every `open` UHF channel plus some VHF have a Bad signal bar.
RF 22 first decodes as KSNT, which is supposed to be RF and virtual 27
in Topeka KS, which KFOR OKC would be blocking on 27 itself. Before it
soon fades out, or rather cuts off below DTV threshold, I hasten to
explore the subchannels which are: 27-2 SBN; 22-3 HSN-2; 22-4 KTOU
with full screen color bars!; 22-5 Shop. So this is really the OKC
station on 22, almost matching Rabbitears listings,

22-1 22.1 HSN HSN
22-2 22.2 SAP Audio Icon SBN SonLife
22-3 22.3 HSN 2 HSN2
22-4 22.4 KTOU The Country Network
22-5 22.5 CTV Infomercials

The tiny PSIP ID maybe was not really KSNT, but KSNC which would make
more sense, 22 in Great Bend KS but virtual 2. Both Kansas places are
outside any tropo predixion area (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

I have not checked whether 9955 is now staying on all day with this,

finite period to run it for our benefit. The owe it to us that the

** CHINA. 6075, Dec 8 at 1554, CNR1 in Mandarin talk S9/+10, again
today the unexpected SSOB, and // weaker 6180 and 7665 --- the lower
pair jamming R Taiwan International, the upper vs Sound of Hope
relaying R Free Asia, *per Aoki/NDXC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOOR)

** PHILIPPINES. 6150, December 7 at 2234, something in English, fair
signal, from Europe? No, HFCC shows this hour only is BBCWS via USAGM
Tinang; so it`s circa grayline (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 1521.0 kHz, Dec 8 at 2224, JBA carrier making het
against domestic 1520.0 stations, KOKC talk and something with music.
Gone before 2230 but could not catch a hard turnoff; presumed Duba 2
megawatt which does close at 2230* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 426-MCW kHz, Dec 8 at 0739 UT, ND beacon UV, which is 25
watts from Oxford - Tunng, Mississippi. Whence that name? ``Tunng are
an English folk music band. They are often associated with the
folktronica genre, due to the electronic influences evident in some of
their work. Tunng are often noted for their use of strange
instruments, including sea shells. Wikipedia`` --- what a weird
correlation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13565-CW, Dec 8 at 1500, HIFER beacon K6FRC is JJBBA, 1.8
milliwatts from Patterson CA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 18140-USB, Dec 8 at 1510, W7RAT is concluding a QSO with
another --RAT; this one is in Palm Desert CA, but explains he is
transmitting 1.5 kW remotely from his other home in chilly Portland OR
by computer control. Many of his family members are also hams. Guess
what`s on his QSL card? ``W7RAT MICHAEL I BLOOM, PORTLAND, OR 97225
USA``. Then worx a W0 in Missouri, too close to hear here.

18120-USB, Dec 8 at 1513, NY3B calling CQ over and over, first heard
on 18112-USB announcing QSY to here. ``NY3B, STEVEN E STRAUSS,
OREFIELD, PA 18069-9043 USA`` --- qrz.com (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, S9+10, Tue Dec 8 at 1550, WRMI extended past 1500*
with TOMBS, not only for Sabbathdays, // 9395 & 9455, just as Brother
Scare is bragging about his WW SW coverage with unfamiliar
frequencies, 17765 at 13-14, 9460 after 14; 13810 to ME, another one,
and 15495, to continue until ``end of this year``, then some changes.
None of these are on the ``current`` sked dated August 2020. Either
something very new, Bulgaria? Or more likely something very
old/imaginary --- but then so is everything he pontificates (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17790, Dec 8 circa 1510, no signal from WRMI, nor expected,
as the gamer-special Dec 7 was a one-time event, after the Dec 6
tests. Here`s the answer to my recollexion of something like this
before: ``Checking my log book, I had a logging on 20 April 2014 from
0400 to 0500 UT on 7570 kHz of STF Radio International. Apparently, 10
// frequencies at 100 kW were to be used and was IDed as a "1-hour
million-watt special." I have a note that the program did not go out
on three of the planned frequencies. The program (which I recorded)
was a combination of seemingly synthetic voice, music, and digital
signals, which I decoded using Fldigi. -- Richard Langley`` -- Kenneth
Vito Zichi also recalled it with more details on 6 and 21 April 2014y
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 17775-, Dec 8 at 1508 & 1546 chex, no signal from KVOH. Ray
Robinson followed up his explanation at 2151 Dec 7:

``Power has once again been shut off to the KVOH transmitter site up
on Chatsworth Peak, and it is extremely windy up there. Edison says
the outage is likely to continue until Wednesday morning [Dec 9].
Latest news report below. Ray.`` Viz.:

More than 10,000 SoCal Edison customers without power amid heightened
fire danger --- By Mary Stringini

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1370, December 8 circa 1730 UT as I approach about halfway
to west end of Enid on US 412, a caradio signal starts to appear here,
sounds like Rush, probably KGNO Dodge City KS reactivated, which is a
Rush dittohead, but no ID. As I go back east, lost again to 1390 KCRC
desensitizing. For many months there had been *no* daytime signal from
KGNO even away from Enid/KCRC, tho AFAIK it did not enjoy a `silent
STA`.

1370, Dec 8 at 2227 UT on PL-880 rotatable, and NRD-545 with N-S
shortwire, at least two talk stations mixing but dominant one is from
south, ``Talk 13-70, The Right Source``; back to Sean Hannity; 2231
CBS news outro; 2233 I-35 traffic in central Texas, so it`s certainly
KJCE, Rollingwood, Austin market. ``The Right Source`` part of slogan
is not in the NRC AM Log.

Another report of KGNO has now appeared in CDXR of IRCA DX Monitor:
``KGNO KS, Dodge City. 12/4 briefly fair to poor with interference.
0302 UT with “Sports on your station? KGNO Dodge City. We are KGNO
Dodge City” ID, and legal IDs at 0304 and 0310 UT. [Ward Elliott,
Dallas TX dwrd759@yahoo.com PL 600, PL 380, PR-D5, PR-D4, ATS-803A,
TCF-Antenna, MFJ-16010, 75’ random wire]`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0202 UT December 9
