** CUBA. 15230, Dec 4 at 2315, S9/+10 of dead air, obviously RHC, and
its *only* signal I can find now anywhere else on the 6, 9, 11, 13 or
15 MHz bands with special attn to known channels whether supposedly
sked at this hour or not -- except: 13650 the absolutely pointless CRI
``Portuguese`` relay with nothing but fill music for years.
Something`s very2 wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EGYPT. 9440-, Dec 4 at 2156, S9+10/20 of deadair except for some
hum direct, obviously R. Cairo about 5 Hz low halfway thru `English`
sesquihour. Something`s amiss at Abis. Other days recently no signal
at all, so this is progress (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Mon Dec 4 at 2300, no signal in English from SNR, as
forewarned due to electrical work at the Noblejas power station. May
or many not be back on in time for next token English, Wed Dec 6. Was
there a non-SW Englishow anyway? So far no podcast since Dec 2, easily
reached via WOR Hitlist, at

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.005, Dec 3 at 2324, VOT English not off the
air, S9+30/35 into UTwente; 2343 ``always-by-your-side`` promo and
`Did You Know That`` on an Istanbul museum, voiced by the ``badax`` =
woman with a heavy accent; 2353 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo; and
s/off with sked times of UT+3 labeled as UTC; 2354 IS; 2356 restart IS
with German IDs; to 2357* uncovering the CCCCCCI. Something`s always
awry at Ankara.

5960.005, Dec 4 at 2300, VOT detectable direct vs noise level, not off
the air. Via UTwente S9+20/30: 2334 `Feeling Supreme/The Healing
Spring` on the benefits of satiating foods; well, yes. 2340
``always-by-your-side`` promo, music. 2344 `La Bamba` theme and `New
Day, New Choices`, missed topic. 2348 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo,
`Did You Know That` on an Adana dish. 2353 s/off with sked of B23

** U S A. 9265V, Dec 4 at 2312, WINB S9+20/30 of music, but with BFO,
carrier is very rapidly wobbling, a longtime defect of this but much
worse now than lately. Maybe not noticeable in AM tuning (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1540, Dec 4 at 0803 UT, (479) area code ad for something in
Scranton, -- what?? ``True Country``, weather info, then ``Real
Country``. Not Pennsylvania, but Arkansas. As in NRC AM Log, it`s
KLYR, Ozark AR, as ``True Country``. Ozark is east of Ft Smith on I40,
Scranton further and off I40 to the south. 479 is NW Arkansas. Not bad
for one watt! Could it possibly be on 500 watt day power? (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1690, Dec 4 at 0805? UT, Virginia references, ``the
Commonwealth``, into `Red Eye Radio`, i.e. WPTX Lexington Park,
Maryland, address in Mechanicsville, both of which are in SW MD, quite
close to VA partially in coverage area; 10/1 kW, but NRC AM Log does
not show it with RER, rather AC/EZL format. Per that the only RER on
1690 is WMLB in GA. IL or CO are the regular 1690s heard here. Nicely
displaying RER affiliate list at
https://www.redeyeradioshow.com/red-eye-radio-affiliates/
agrees that its only 1690 is ``WMLB-AM`` Atlanta -- and every single
MW station is shown with an ``-AM`` suffix, which is nonsense! There
was no sign of two stations mixing, and I can`t imagine a Georgian
with Virginia references as ``the Commonwealth``. Website
https://1690wptx.com/ asserts ``more music, less talk`` and is quite
Marylandish. The VA refs I thought were local, just before rejoining
RER. Schedule at https://1690wptx.com/schedule is not very helpful,
nothing but ``regular programming`` 24/7!! Now I`m wondering if
without embargo it had to be WMLB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1690, Dec 4 at 2320 UT, several Relevant Radio, Catholic
promos during break in a talkshow, of course KDMT Arvada CO, dominant
now but some deep fades. Official Dec sunset is 2330 UT, so still on
10 kW daypower (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1510 kHz, Dec 3 at 0637 UT, traditional choral Xmas carols,
with WLAC nulled about 6 Hz away. I`m checking following reports that
R. Monumental, Ecuador was being widely heard in N America, but
unlikely to be this. 0700 English ID mentions translator but I can`t
copy any calls. Another try at 0800: KPLS Littleton CO plus 97.7 and
92.9. NRC AM Log shows that`s the `K-plus` group, with KPLS-FM on 97.7
and K225CZ on 92.9. Unless a daytime cheater, I figured it would
likely be this, due to paucity of 1510 night stations around here;
yet, seemingly unlikely due to tight NNE/SSW pattern both day and
night, so we are very much in a null; out of whack? KPLS is also
remarkable with a much *higher* power at night, 10/25 kW. Night
coverage:
https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=KPLS&service=AM&h=N
Own website shows nothing but 1510, and programming, other stuff such
as Radio 74 International, correlate with 3ABN = 7DA TV network.

WLAC is dominant signal here, 50 kW, but direxional night with 3 big
lobes and 2 deep nulls toward Spokane and Boston:
https://radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/pat?call=WLAC&service=AM&h=N

As for the 6 Hz SAH, that does not compute for WLAC vs KPLS, but does
fit recent measurements for WLAC vs Quito at
http://mwlist.org/mwoffset.php?khz=1510
However it seems that KPLS varies (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TAIWAN [non]. 15320, Dec 2 at 0300 & 0325 recheck, zero signals
from RTI in English, or anything else, into KiwiSDRs in Indonesia,
Thailand, Vietnam. Despite s/off announcements on the only English
broadcast at 1600-1700 on 9405, well heard direct. Also, another
program schedule version via Alan Roe in Dec NASWA Journal shows the
mailbag, `Status Update` at 1645 not only Wed but also Tue, while
previous programming during those hours differs. I have not yet
confirmed whether it axually air on Tuesdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.005, Dec 2 at 2305, VOT again not off the air,
detectable direct, vs S9+40 noise level; R75 Noise Blanker helps.
UTwente next at 2344, multi-lingual ID filler reel, S9+20/30; s/off

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2219 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday December 2 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, S7/9+10 into Maine SDR;
would surely be better closer to NW boresight from FL.

NOT confirmed Sat Dec 2 at 1630 on WRMI 15770, rather a gospel huxter
as now shown on the websked. This airing did not last long. May have
already been gone last Sat when not checked. Still shows WOR, Thu 1500
on 9955, which I thought was already canceled; check again?

Confirmed Saturday December 2 at 1700 on WRN North America stream.

Also confirmed Saturday December 2 at 2034 about 2 minutes into so
started circa 2032 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, VG S9+20 into nearby SDR;

** U S A. 5085, Dec 2 at 0431, WTWW continues to blast in, S9+50 so
that modulation is also audible on much weaker spurs 5072.1 & 5097.9.
After another gospel huxter, ex-bishop Bob Biermann restarts ``weekend
edition`` of `Truth 2 Ponder`, explaining that he has been undergoing
treatment for bladder cancer the past year. More surgery is sked for
Tuesday, and he hopes to have enough shows recorded by then to last
thru his recovery. Then in January will be immunotherapy. Meanwhile he
``covets`` prayers - I guess in this case coveting is not sinful; anyhow I
wish him well.

5085, Dec 2 at 2317, WTWW blasting in S9+40 with preacher; I was about
to assume serious transmitter problems, breaking up and frequency
wobbling rapidly, until I realized the R75 noise blanker still
engaged, unable to cope with extremely strong signal (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1630 kHz, Dec 2 at 0809 UT, KKGM Ft Worth TX with Black
Information Network promo and joint ID for 1630 & 970 in DFW. 970
would be KHVN, also licensed to Ft Worth, why both? For ancient radios
without X-band? No longer heavenly but keeping previous calls.
Radio-locator shows night coverage of 270-watt 970 from site just NE
of FW, ``local`` contour falls short of Dallas; unlike 1 kW 1630 which
from site further NE of FW halfway to Irving, exceeds almost to Balch
Springs, both ND. Studio address axually in Dallas (Glenn Hauser, OK,

** NORTH AMERICA. 6930 USB, Dec 2 at 2325 rock and DJ talk, S9+10.
Many reports at HFU say it`s WDOG. Some editors refuse to publish linx
to that: why?

** TAIWAN [non]. 15320, Dec 2 at 0300 & 0325 recheck, zero signals
from RTI in English, or anything else, into KiwiSDRs in Indonesia,
Thailand, Vietnam. Despite s/off announcements on the only English
broadcast at 1600-1700 on 9405, well heard direct. Also, another
program schedule version via Alan Roe in Dec NASWA Journal shows the
mailbag, `Status Update` at 1645 not only Wed but also Tue, while
previous programming during those hours differs. I have not yet
confirmed whether it axually air on Tuesdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.005, Dec 2 at 2305, VOT again not off the air,
detectable direct, vs S9+40 noise level; R75 Noise Blanker helps.
UTwente next at 2344, multi-lingual ID filler reel, S9+20/30; s/off
and start IS at 2353.6, restart 2356 with German IDs. 0000 timesignal
and s/on as ``Die Stimme von Türkije`` - previously I heard them
omitting the ``von``; times, SW and satellite frequencies for midday
and evening broadcasts, not this extraneous one! Still on past 0028;
shall we expect Portuguese at 0100? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 28265 CW, Dec 2 at 2315, DE K6SSB/B repeating. Not in WI5V
beacon roster on any frequency, and no beacon mentioned on his
QRZ.com: ``K6SSB USA flag USA, Matthew J Iaconis, 650 Ash Ct,
Brentwood, CA 94513, USA`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2219 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday December 2 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, S7/9+10 into Maine SDR;
would surely be better closer to NW boresight from FL.

NOT confirmed Sat Dec 2 at 1630 on WRMI 15770, rather a gospel huxter
as now shown on the websked. This airing did not last long. May have
already been gone last Sat when not checked. Still shows WOR, Thu 1500
on 9955, which I thought was already canceled; check again?

Confirmed Saturday December 2 at 1700 on WRN North America stream.

Also confirmed Saturday December 2 at 2034 about 2 minutes into so
started circa 2032 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, MO, VG S9+20 into nearby SDR;
also underway the 2030s on WRN N America webcast and RMI webcast only.

** U S A. 5130+, Dec 2 at 0123 I happen to recheck `AAAWWW` on WBCQ
just as Allan is saying he doesn`t want to talk about the 7490V
transmitter problems, but they were caused by a ``vacuum capacitor the
size of a dill pickle`` - now we know! Also datestamp as Dec 1 so it
is a new show after some weeks off. As for the standard opening, I
can`t imagine any other SW personality always introduced as
``half-nekkid`` of even ``half-naked`` --- and BTW, *which* half?
oooh. Of course on an aural-only medium anyvoice could be fully naked
and we`d never know it if not mentioned (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, Dec 2 at 0431, WTWW continues to blast in, S9+50 so
that modulation is also audible on much weaker spurs 5072.1 & 5097.9.
After another gospel huxter, ex-bishop Bob Biermann restarts ``weekend
edition`` of `Truth 2 Ponder`, explaining that he has been undergoing
treatment for bladder cancer the past year. More surgery is sked for
Tuesday, and he hopes to have enough shows recorded by then to last
thru his recovery. Then in January will be immunotherapy. Meanwhile he
``covets`` prayers - I guess in this case coveting is not sinful; anyhow I
wish him well.

5085, Dec 2 at 2317, WTWW blasting in S9+40 with preacher; I was about
to assume serious transmitter problems, breaking up and frequency
wobbling rapidly, until I realized the R75 noise blanker still
engaged, unable to cope with extremely strong signal (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1630 kHz, Dec 2 at 0809 UT, KKGM Ft Worth TX with Black
Information Network promo and joint ID for 1630 & 970 in DFW. 970
would be KHVN, also licensed to Ft Worth, why both? For ancient radios
without X-band? No longer heavenly but keeping previous calls.
Radio-locator shows night coverage of 270-watt 970 from site just NE
of FW, ``local`` contour falls short of Dallas; unlike 1 kW 1630 which
from site further NE of FW halfway to Irving, exceeds almost to Balch
Springs, both ND. Studio address axually in Dallas (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
