** BRAZIL. 11780, Dec 9 at 0151, token English from RNA I haven`t
checked lately; is UT Tue-Sat only except when elbowed by stupid
ballgames. S8/9+10 into nearby `Brasila` SDR. But hardly local
line-of-sight quality, rather fluttery: maybe skywave backscatter QRM?
I didn`t realize exactly when it started as switched from PP to
PP-accented English. Voice-over translation of a musician talking
about being a drummer and then banjo player, in Pará. Lose the
voice-under! We don`t need any more QRM. 0154 English outro as
International Service, switch to Spanish by different announcer who
has a heavy Brazilian accent but trying to speak Castilian, saying
``os``. Also on // 6180 but with QRhuM. {correcting date in previous
report; NOT Dec 8}. And same thing heard again at 0751 Dec 9, S3/S4
direct on 11780 while 6180 is a JBA carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. More to my report of CRI English instead of non-Portuguese
music fill on 13650 at 2300 Dec 8: evidently an anomaly:

``13650 CUBA (Quivican) China Radio Intl. at 2325, in progress at
tune-in. Man in what sounded like English news, but, (drat-!), we were
mobile and in a high static area at the time. The usual Chinese canned
"elevator music" music started up right on the half hour mark (2330
UT), and went to 2358, when man in Portuguese came on with station's
ID and sked info. Off right on midnight UT. The static was worst at
the most crucial time, when we heard English words leaking through.
Good rx at the end for the announcer in (clearly) Portuguese (to
Brazil). Heard mobile with RS DX-402 and NewTronics "Hustler"
IC-100S-B roof-mount antenna. --- Fair to Good (at end) 12/8 (Rick
Barton, Sun City AZ)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Dec 9 at 0755, S9+15 of dead air in Spanish from R.
Rebelde. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. But on 670, Dec 3 at
0727 UT, ``Aquí en Rebelde`` briefly overcame WSCR (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 9710, Dec 9 at 0758, S5/S6 of dead air in Spanish or English,
no doubt RHC overtime (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Dec 9 at 1555, RHC Spanish, S9+15/25 with windhowl,
and 15230 S9 of dead air. Something`s always wrong at RHC. At 2020 I
look at the waterfall into Athens GA SDR: again, very interesting
symmetrical pattern of diagonal lines; and then a separate line
wandering between 15180 and 15210. At first I thought it might be R.
Inconfidência, Brasil, which is always off-frequency about 15189.8 but
doesn`t vary much. Then I see a matching wandering line below RHC from
15070 and up. By 2025 they are not equal sides from center 15140 but
still match wandering, circa 15060 and 15160 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PUERTO RICO. 391 MCW kHz, Dec 8 at 0722 UT, DDP, NDB at Dorado
airport. It`s usually audible now, not always relogged, for the
record. I would love to log other Caribbean NDBs if any exist (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 397 MCW kHz, Dec 8 at 0723, JE, NDB at `Algoa`, JeffErson
City MO. Last logged for sure Oct 6, 2020, but had a carrier Nov 29,
2025 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 407 MCW kHz, Dec 8 at 0724 UT, OOC, NDB at Natchitoches LA,
as IDed Dec 1, q.v., under HRU in KS, only the C audible now in clear
during HRU pauses (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 521 MCW kHz, Dec 8 at 0725 UT, TO, 25 watt NDB at Topeka KS.
Seldom heard, last logged Oct 14. The only one normally audible in the
510-530 band is 515 PN in nearby Ponca City OK. 512 HMY Lexington OK
gone since 2018y (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2324 monitoring: ``9455 UNITED
STATES (FL) WRMI at 2330. Glenn Hauser with this week's World of Radio

mobile antenna. Short music bridge and then open of Jeff White
"Wavescan" at midnight UT. NOTE: Recheck at midnight thirty UT
(12/8), had World of Radio reprised, which helped me catch what I
missed earlier (splitting my time with MW DXing). Much stronger signal
here, still with mobile setup. --- Good 12/7 [Sunday-Monday] (Rick

** BRAZIL. 25985-LSB, Dec 8 at 2257, 2-way in Brasuguese, holiday
wishes, with beeps. Something similar on 25955-LSB. Are these
``official`` CB channels in Brasil? Yes, below 26 MHz, not above
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 6230 AM, Dec 8 at 2309, S9 algo in Chinese? Per Aoki this is
24h frequency of CNR1 *jamming and Sound of Hope = Xi Wang Zhi Sheng,
Miaoli, Taiwan. Many other FE signals on this and higher bands at
grayline (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13650, Dec 8 at 2304, news in ENGLISH! from S9+10/20 CRI/CGTN
relay for the first time instead of pointless non-Portuguese music
fill for years & years. Remains to be heard whether deliberate or
mistake. Wolfgang Buschel says before 2300, 13650 had also changed to
RHC Spanish. At 2305 into `World Insight`. Meanwhile 5990 CRI relay
was missing, but at 2308 S9+20 of deadair on 6000 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** JAPAN. 13705, Dec 8 at 2306, jaunty orchestral music S9/+10, what`s
this? Prélude; at 2310 `Sakura` and NHKWRJ opening scheduled Thai; to
be followed by Vietnamese at 2330 and Burmese an hour later (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA SOUTH. 28487 USB, Dec 8 at 2317, HL5FEE, spelt name SONG,
contacting a Mike. Unsure of first letter after the number but
followed by echo. Search of QRZ.com on call HL5FE gets nowhere, but
searching on handle and then callsigns in order, this one most likely:
``HL5FEE Youngdo "SONG" Song Daegu`` --> ``HL5FEE South Korea flag
South Korea, Youngdo "SONG" Song, 101-1905, Kolon Hanulche, Chimsanro
22-gil 31, Buggu, Daegu 41584, South Korea`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** POLAND [non]. 15770, Dec 8 at 2310, Polish R External Service, via
WRN on WRMI, S9+10/20. Recommended for well-done news of eastern
Europe near Ukraine; much better reception direct than simulEnglish
from Turkey, Spain if ever resumes weekly (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.002+, Dec 8 at 2259, VOT English ID and IS, S9 direct
but = noise level. At 2355 into UTwente when measured, S9+25 IS until
2356* uncovering Chinese, failing to provide any extraneous German

** U S A. 9455, Mon Dec 8 at 2312, WRMI S9+30 with something in
Spanish, not Brazuguese. Aoki and WRMI System D grid show RAE PP on
Mon/Tue/Thu/Fri, otherdays WRMI shows in English. This is where I
heard RAE DX program in Portuguese on Tue Nov 25 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 9275, Dec 8 at 2311, WMLK properly back on with solosing,
after offsked 9275 earlier at 1554 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

This report dispatched at 0227 UT December 9

** CUBA. 15230, Dec 8 at 1550, JBA carrier S4, probably dead air;
while 11760 at 1553 has good Spanish mod at S5/S7 direct. NOT on:
15140, 13780, 11880 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 351 MCW kHz, Dec 8 at 0712 UT, dash and YKQ, 500-watt NDB
at Waskaganish QC, again making it, only the #2 Canadian after more
regular 346 kHz YXL Sioux Lookout ON. More details in previous report
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 353 MCW kHz, Dec 8 at 0713 UT, dash and PG, JBA, period of
repetition 10 seconds from PortaGe MB. #3 Canadian when YXL and YKQ
are already audible. Why isn`t it YPG? RNA list shows only 25 watts
and T of 9.775 sex. Presumably Portage-la-Prairie which is midway
between Brandon and Winnipeg. Unusual to hear this on 353 rather than
LI, LIttle Rock AR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, Dec 8 at 1931, RHC Kriyol, VG S9+15/20 into Georgia
SDR, only here, 15140 nor any others on air. This time I keep
listening and hear modulation chopped at 1956, replaced by hum rather
than totally deadair, plenty of time to prevent English from airing at
2000. Still no other RHC frequencies are on, but the hum continues
past 2000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FINLAND [non]. 6120.004, Dec 8 at 1940, ME music, S9/+10 into
UTwente, no doubt V of Turkey as scheduled from 1930 in Turkish per
EiBi. R. Blacksmith Knoll was publicized by Kari Kallio as saluting
Sibelius on his birthday with classical music all day, but check a
sesquihour earlier was not hearing it. East Turkistan also listed on

** U S A. 7489.9, Dec 8 at 0521 tune-in, S9 of dead air and shortly
off*. Got to be WBCQ on signature skewed frequency but no chance to
pinpoint it. Supposedly with TOMBS until 0500. Three 40-mb
broadcasters in a row close just as I tune them in, avoiding me?
Vatican, Japan via France, WBCQ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9275, Dec 8 at 1554, DEJOM JBA S3 direct. WMLK supposed to
be on 15150 at this hour. They are not free to run any of their three
frequencies at any hour as they have been doing. FCC still hasn`t put
up B25 registrations, but B24 required 15150, 17525 and 9275 in that
order one at a time during the day. BTW, right now even 9330 WLCR/WBCQ
is also JBA S4 despite K-index of 0 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN. 7360, Dec 8 at 0519, ``LIX`` Latin catch-phrase and VR IS,
S9 = noise level and off. Russian sked 0500-0520 and supposed to be
followed by another hourthird in Ukrainian. Maybe backcame after I
outtuned? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VATICAN. 11755, Monday December 8 at 1958, bit of Rosary, VR IS and
off. Noticed as splash upon 11760 checking for absent RHC, good into
Georgia SDR, but gone before I could meter it. EiBi shows 1940-2000
Sundays only while Aoki has it daily in Latin (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 810.60 kHz, Dec 8 at 0528 UT, mystery carrier again
hetting 810.0 WHB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 981+ kHz, Dec 8 at 0505 UT, het upon 980.00 stations,
somewhat more than 1000 Hz. 981 would be a TA frequency, but no trace
of any others in complete 9/kHz bandscan. Not heard at 0511. Maybe
something local (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 3455 USB, Dec 8 at 0723, ATC comms, could not make out
any clues. EiBi shows NY, SF/Hawaii and Shannon; but Klingenfuß adds
many Caribbean area stations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 5598 USB, Dec 8 at 0729. ATC specifies 3016 as
secondary, mentions Santa Maria, i.e. Azores, selcall tones. EiBi
shows Azores, Gander, Shannon and New York. Klingenfuß 2022 adds
Canary and some Caribs (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

check (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) Fixing previous report typo: not 5035!

** CUBA. 11760, Dec 7 at 1601, RHC S8/S9 plugging few FM frequencies
in western Cuba, 1602 IS and finally open weekly Esperanto. Only // is
15140 with windhowl, S7/S9. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Dec 7 at 1948, RHC deadair direct, likewise 15140

** TURKEY. 9660.008, Sun Dec 7 at 1759, VOT English into UTwente,
S9+15/25 Turkish music; feared I tuned in too late for `Letterbox` but
this week does not start until 1801. 1) Ms. Bell?, UK, uses UTwente.
2) Allan Willie, Canada, another set of *100* reception reports using
a 600-foot Beverage antenna at 135 degrees. {This is hardly aimed at
Turkey, and totally unnecessary for SW}. 3) Mohammed Breyel[?], near
KL, Malaysia. {Again I query whether this is the same or related
person to well-known DXer Timm Breyel in Malaysia}. 4) Mr. Roland? --,
Ista? City, Sweden, another FM DX report from Ju[ne or ly? fade], TRT
R3 on 88.0, due to ``extreme atmospheric conditions``. {Guess what,
it`s the ionosphere way above the atmosphere, obviously sporadic E
propagation which is never mentioned. Previously I measured distance
under 1.5 kilomiles}. 5) Siddartha Papajarjee[?], India, questions
about opera shows, rate of TV watching, largest TV company? {Guess he
meant *soap* operas} - they are very popular in Turkey and abroad, TRT
one of the largest. At 1812: 6) Mr Perry Moore, England. 7) David
Golan?, Moncton NB. 8) no name young person, gender unknown, in SW
Malaysia. Rushes home for quick shower before tuning in Malay service
on 17530. {They never mention the time: it`s 05-06 UT, so that would
be 13-14 LT}. 1819 ending, 1820 theme (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Presumably 9510 and heard direct from Saftica, Romania site? Reply:
``Mr. Hauser, direct on a Tecsun PL 365 on a broom stick antenna mount
horizontally. Thought for a moment WRMI had open up a new frequency
but quickly realize it was IRRS Milano. Mr. Hauser, could it be the
solar storms we are having causing signal to jump over the poles into

guessing. Thanks, Thomas Dorman`` Maybe, but prop from Europe at that

This was really good, wish I had heard more of it. Hope they repeat
it. That reminds me, I am not aware of any of the US licensed SW
stations *ever* playing our national anthem! What a shame. If I were
programming a station, I would collect countless different versions
and play them at least once a day (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

JBA carrier, probably still2 VOT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

speaks with a German? accent. No clue where he really is from web
listing or gmail address. Only half an hour and at 2026 said he would
``see you in 4 weeks`` so must be a monthly produxion but
repeated week to week. Only other time on WRMI sked is Saturday 2330
on 9955, unchecked (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
