** CHILE. 28445 USB, Dec 22 at 2309, CB32T calling QRZ and making
quick contacts including USA, name Kiko? Occasional CCI talkovers.
Almost the OSOB, except for unID weaker 28425 USB, and no beacons.
QRZ.com gives us a lot more info than heard; never mentioned Club
Traiguén:

``CB32T Chile flag Chile
CONMEMORACIÓN 32 AÑOS RADIO CLUB TRAIGUÉN
P.O BOX 150, TRAIGUÉN 4730000, Chile

El Radio Club Traiguén extiende una cordial invitación a participar en
la celebración de su 32 aniversario, durante la cual se activará el
indicativo especial CB32T. Este evento se llevará a cabo del 15 al 22
de diciembre, abarcando todas las bandas de HF y 6 metros...``
https://www.qrz.com/db/CB32T

So this is final day of event. Where is Traiguén? ``a city and commune
in Malleco province, Araucanía region``. Google map shows inland north
of Temuco. I guess that`s the one; same name applied to some other
places. There is also a namesake island (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6872 USB, Dec 22 at 2319 music, 2320 SSTV beepery,
2322 back to Xmasmx, no announcements heard. More unID reports here,
also earlier on 6870 USB and there were separate logs on 6871 LSB:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,122950.0.html
SSTV images of chickens, so obvious question, Thunder Chicken Radio?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** RUSSIA. 7602 CW, Dec 22 at 0439, long message seems to be repeating
between pauses, starts RLO DE RIT. Signal is fluttery as if from afar
and aurorally affected. R- implies Russia, of course. I get six hits
by searching the UDXF iog on RIT 7602; from 2009y to 2022y, including
``Russian Navy - Northem Fleet HQ, Severomorsk CW RIT Wkg RLO``;
``The schedules for these messages are: 0900z 1200z 1800z 2100z.
Frequencies noted being used for these messages are: 4433, 4807, 4973,
5753 and 7602`` -- so RLO is the station called but not heard,
location unknown. Severomorsk is just NE of Murmansk in extreme NW
Russia near Finland and Norway, inlet from the Arctic Ocean. BTW, the
code presumably includes unfamiliar Cyrillic letters (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Dec 22 at 2300, token English from SFR, VG direct;
after news, long interview with someone of a costume company you`ve
never heard of, but seen their stuff in movies or on stage; 2325 over
to Lebanon correspondent about Xmas in the ME (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.005, Dec 22 at 2347, VOT English not off the
air, S9+30/40 into UTwente at ``with-you-every-hour`` promo, music.
2352 ``W-Y-E-H`` promo *again*, s/off with correct but incomplete B23
sked, overlooking this very broadcast, IS; something`s always awry at
Ankara. 2356 IS restarts with German IDs; <0000 Dec 23, timesignal
ends a few sex early even considering internet delay, s/on extraneous
German, news starts a bit before 0001, usw. 0034 still going with
music. 0043 multilingual ID filler reel. Something`s always erroneous
at Emirler. At least modulation is OK, but makes the ChiCom JBA
underneath. Not off till about 0055* as if intentional extension
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 11720, Fri Dec 22 at 2245, VOA with last part of `Music Time
in Africa` unusually interviewing an opera singer, Justin Austin. Too
much talk, too little music. Not clear what the African connexion be,
unless he`s Black, as is obviously American, born in Germany, military
brat? Good signal from Grimesland via a mid-America remote. Tnx to tip
from Alan Roe`s holiday programming schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2222 monitoring: confirmed Friday December 22
at 2158 just in time the 2130 on IRRS SW via AM Italia 1323 kHz, good
trans-Europe into UTwente with no Romania or other QRM. Likewise tail

** U S A. (9955), Fri Dec 22 at 2200-2259, WRMI webcast with `Over the
Horizon Radio` Xmas special with music from various countries, some
obscure. DJ also voices frequent Icom ads. Never said his name and if
he gave it at end, that was chopped short for a `WeLoveShortwave`
fruitcake! ad. Also has several other times on skedgrid as OTH Radio.
Programming page names him Larry Deyoe; offers lots of QSLs but no
SDRs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WBCQ chex ahead of `AAAWWW`, Dec 23 at 0057: 5130.264,
ATTATT via NH SDR; 7490 -37 Hz = 7489.963, FKB via Maryland SDR. But
at 0058 there`s an echo, as T**** has been Dumped from 5130! 0059
already hearing AW interjexion before ID; 0100 WTO theme; 0101 talx
over it with yuletide refs, so must be a new one. 0103 says it`s 12
degrees so he must be in ME, then Angela on phone must remain back in
FL (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 3215, Dec 22 at 0439, WWCR-1 modulation sounds moreorless
backtonormal, rather than suptorted. Perhaps my obs of the last few
nights got to them (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic just barely audible MW carrier check, Dec
22 at 0748: only 891 kHz in non-exhaustive bandscan. usual 1 kHz het
upon WLS. Surely ALGERIA, about as late as it can be on shortest
dayofyear. Site Ouyed Falet is not included in the extensive locality
list at gaisma.com, but it`s just west of Algiers, so what`s the
sunrise time there? 0657 UT. With 300 kW it can still be propagating
westward less than an hour after LSR. Latest will become in a biweek,
0702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Dec 21 at 0430, RHC S9+30, English, undermodulated and
attracting local hum level as other very strong sigs. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 408 kHz MCW, Dec 21 at 0437, JDM is JBA, 25 watt NDB from
Colby KS in the NW corner, nickname `Wheatfield`. Altho there is now
zero Blitz stormnoise across North America, I am still hearing hardly
any MW/LW beacons - not even 332 IC Wichita, and nothing from Canada.

JDM is seldom heard; probably my unIDs Dec 10 at 0419, and Nov 5, 2023
at 0311. Last definite log was Nov 13, 2021 at 0715, when I added: My
previous log from 2020y bears repeating:

```408-MCW kHz, Oct 18 at 0643 UT, JDM, 25-watt NDB at Colby -
Wheatfield, Kansas. One wonders how a call with no connexion to the
listed location came about? So I try searching on JDM Colby, finding
``Colby Howard Lands at JD Motorsports For Majority of 2020``
about NASCAR - that`s a stretch! Further down are linx to JDM as
NAVAID, but no call significance. Even further down, there is a JDM
Enterprises, LLC, in Colby among 55 other places:
https://opencorporates.com/companies/us_ks/8804627
but what does it do?`` Do they have a private airstrip in Colby?```

I had also logged it a number of times earlier in 2020y but not before

** U S A. 3215, UT Thu Dec 21 at 0432, WWCR-1 still suptorted tho
S9+20/30 with a different program than previous nights, so not the
programs` fault. I was about to say that same WWCR-1 unit when on
15825 daytimes did not have this problem: but now it does at 1634
check Dec 21, S9+25. The other three, 13845, 12160, 9980 are very loud
and clear. Something`s not right at Nashville (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD

wonder what`s wrong now? Definitely back on at 1746 check (Glenn
