Glenn Hauser logs January 1, 2026; World of Radio 2328  View Printable Version 
Friday, January 02 2026

Hauser
** COLOMBIA. 1100.29, Jan 1 at 0439, het on plus side of WTAM. Bingo,
this in latest NZDX times: ``HJAT Barranquilla has drifted up high to
about 1100.28. Heard with many ID's and Colombia mentions, parallel to
1170 and web stream which was a few seconds off (Neil Kazaross via MW
Offsets io Group 6/12)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Jan 1 at 2029, RHC windhowl only, S6/S7, and 11880, at
2025, S9 of dead air as usual instead of English. Jan 1 is a major
revolutionary holiday you`d think they`d do their best for once, but
SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 7355, Jan 1 at 0420, Xmasmx - can this be R. Martí?
Yes, // 7435, Spanish talking about Xmas. Isn`t this off-topic and a
bit late? Both VG signals (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 15380, Jan 1 at 2030, R. Martí giving SW frequencies
including 11930, and again, 13605 despite the fact that 13605 is in
use only during A-seasons, duh! They can`t even utter their own basic
info accurately. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** INDIA. 11900, Jan 1 at 2026, south Asian song, S5/S6 with flutter,
toward end of French hour from Akashvani, and maybe intrusive English
segment earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MEXICO. 1090, Jan 1 at 0435 UT, Spanish over KAAY, mentioning
`Grupo Mundo Mayá``, ``Multimedia``, ``la mágica de la Navidad``. Got
to be one of two Mexicans, in IRCA Log:

``XEAU NL Monterrey 5000 500 Milenio Radio, Periodismo con Carácter,
Milenio Noticias 10-90 AM 24h? NWS/CHR:S? ORO Still active on AM 5/25
(logged by DXer). No FM. No longer //XHTKR 103.7FM (ex-XHFMTU).

XEHR Pueb Puebla 2500 1000 Cinco Radio, La H-R, Al Servicio de Puebla,
La Señal Que Une a Puebla 24h NWS/TLK ACIR No FM. Still active on AM
8/25 per SDR monitoring. "Radar" newscast. Has used an unusual tacky
instrumental version of anthem with synthesized instruments.``

Broad search indicates Grupo Mundo Maya runs hotels, etc., at
archaeological sites. That correlates with cinco radio, which leads to
XEHR, tho would expect closer XEAU more likely:

https://cincoradio.com.mx/grupo-olmeca-maya-mexica-ahora-se-llama-grupo-mundo-maya/
cincoradio.com.mx/en-vivo/?estacion=lahr
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6950 AM, 0417 Jan 1, pirate music with some clix,
more music, S8/9 direct. Many reports here as unID or Two Dog Radio,
all in USB, between 0215 and 0443:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,156415.0.html

Also this: ``2 Dog Radio, 1 January 2026, 0240, 6950 USB. 0300,
rendition of Rufus Thomas "Walkin' The Dog" (Sammy Hagar)? Heard it
Thru the Grapevine at 0308 (sounded like Creedence Chronicle version)
and Led Zeppelin at 0138 and cut off to DJ and talk at 0321. Happy New
Year everybody at 0315. "Let's play some music" to some mainstream
older rocker tune. Still audible but fading at 0355. Was way over S9
(rarity in Arizona). Still on after 0400, but JBA. + w/ Drake SW8 and
100' r.w. -- (Rick Barton, AZ)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 21500, Jan 1 at 2032, routine bandscan hits a JBA
signal here, S4, sounds like the thintonations of Josiah on Station
YHWH - yet another new frequency, when nothing else is listed. Then I
try several remotes around North America, and the only one getting him
well is VE6JY in Alberta, accurately calibrated vs WWV 20000, showing
offset about minus 19 Hz. There is also a trace line at Maryland SDR,
-20 Hz. 2052 about incest and cannibalism; 2053 ID as ``YHWH, I`m
Josiah Elias`` then about phony texts in Old Testament,
``Christianity - the greatest hoax ever``; usual screeds, still past
2115, up to S9+15. I let it run mostly in the background. Rarely
listened to him even this much, but I daresay he makes his point in
the first 10 minutes, the rest just over and over and over. Bits of
music, I think his only theme, `Days of Hard Life`, appear
periodically, such as 2134, 2232, 2350 and then he restarts. In fact I
know at 2329 I hear him say exactly the same thing as 2 or 3 hours
ago. Reception generally holds up well into the VE6JY remote,
occasional fade-downs, and at 2241 apparently a brief break in
transmission, but still in well when finally cut off right at 2400*
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 6125 & 7285, Jan 1 at 0419, NO signals from VOT English.
Must be off the air. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.005, Jan 1 at 2340, VOT not off the air, S9+30/40 into
UTwente with Brazilian music, `Happy New Year` in several languages
but not all of them as in the 2-minute multilingual ID filler reel.
And Efsun with the story about Nigel the parrot first heard several
days ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 379 MCW kHz, Jan 1 at 0733 UT, BRA, 100 watt NDB at `Broad
River` Asheville NC. On 379 normally hear RU[E], 25 watts at
Russellville AR; now maybe underneath (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 385 MCW kHz, Jan 1 at 0735 UT, HO, 50-watt NDB at HOt
Springs AR; axually tuned to 383 USB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 486 kHz, Jan 1 at 0152 UT into Natural Bridge VA remote, nor
at 0411 UT direct, no sign of Fessenden tribute from Forest VA
supposed to run for 24 hours from 21 UT Dec 31; just like last week.
Wonder if anyone ever heard it? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2327 monitoring: confirmed UT
Thursday January 1 at 0030 on WRMI 9395, S9+10 into Maryland SDR.

Also confirmed UT Thursday January 1 at 0130 on WRMI 5010, S7/9+10
into Costa Rica SDR.

Also confirmed Thursday January 1 at 1730 on SW Radio Gold, Germany,
6160.001, S7/S8 into UTwente with heavy ACI from 6165, but 3975.001
clear S8/9+5.

Andy at SW Radio informs me there has been another schedule change for
WOR on Saturdays, 1530 on 3975 & 6160 and new 2030 UT on 3975.

WORLD OF RADIO 2328 contents: a special edition: DX nostalgia by Ronny
Forslund; food for thought about shortwave radio versus other media by
John Figliozzi, Uncle Bill Tilford, Mike Gorniak, James Branum; what
became of the mini-disc? by Greg Hardison; how radios in cars came
about; Ronny Forslund on radio memorabilia; Mark Connelly on not
critiquing DX stations; and no propagation outlook

** U S A. 7505, Jan 1 at 0421 undermod talk S9+10. Cannot recognize as
English, so probably Hindi as sometimes on WRNO, activity very
sporadic (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1700 kHz, Jan 1 at 0801 UT, Fox Sports Radio. Got to be KVNS
Brownsville TX. No sign of SS much closer and usual dominator KKLF
Richardson TX, off? I see that 1700 KBGG Des Moines IA has been silent
since March. Tuning down the Xband, also hear FSR mentions on 1660 KS,
1650 IA, 1640 OK, 1620 NE (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 810.59, Jan 1 at 0432 UT, JBA het against 810.00 WHB
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1220 kHz, Jan 1 at 0440 UT, ``motorboating`` sound now
more rapid than before; seems equally on LSB and USB sides (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 1430 kHz, Jan 1 at 0759 UT, M&W in Spanish religious
talk, interrupted at 0800 for English ID, ``1430 KNPS Austin`` as I
copied it. But does not correlate with anything close to Austin TX or
Austin MN. There are several other minor Austins. But FCC LMS does not
reach any 1430 station with such a CoL. What did I really hear? There
is a KNSP in Staples MN, but it`s ESPN and nowhere near Austin. Did
they say Ogden instead of Austin? KMES there in UT is SS:REL, U4 25/5
kW. Night pattern somewhat pulled in to our direxion but not a notch.
No other SS:RELs look likely in the K-side of the country (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4110 UT, Jan 1 at 0415, JBA carrier. Could be third
harmonic of something on 1370 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 4975, Jan 1 at 0413, still detecting the JBA carrier
here with no idea where it`s coming from, unknown broadcaster, or ute?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11780, Jan 1 at 0425, JBA carrier. Maybe RNA Brasil on
late for NY? EiBi shows nothing else at this hour. But Aoki shows both
Hebrew and Turkish from Iran starting 0423; it`s been mostly inactive.
WRTH 2026 shows Turkish only from 0423.

I had been bandscanning since 0413 for any signs of NYE activity from
Latin America on 90, 60, 49, even 41, 31 and 25 mbs, with nothing to
show for it, but I noted the local high noise levels thru my 100` E/W
longwire on various bands: 90m S9, 60m S9+10, 49m S9+10, 43m S7/S9,
31m S9/+20, 25m S5/S6, 19m S3/S5 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ANDORRA [non]. 7515, Dec 31 at 1930, S9+40 into UTwente, R. Andorra
special via ARMENIA, lots of pop music but also long intervals of
colloquial French conversation between two? guys. 1948 multi-lingual
ID in Spanish, French, English, Catalan? 2023 resumes music. Still
going thru 2300 UT with music which would be *2026y in Andorra.
Scheduled until 0100 UT. There is a continuous light whine seemingly
from the Noratus transmitter rather than QRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140 Dec 31 at 1613, RHC Spanish S7/S9 with windhowl, //
15230 S7/S9 in the clear (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 13570, 13820, 15380, Dec 31 at 1615, R. Martí playing
`My Favorite Things` song in English, which would seem off-topic
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Dec 31 at 2255 UT, Auld Lang Syne, on bagpipes? 2256
excited hosts in Spanish about the imminent new year on REE, no
English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.003, Dec 31 at 2333, `Eine Kleine
Nachtmusik` by Mozart - can this be VOT? and so close to on-frequency?
Yes, finally at 2338 Efsun speaks in English, 2339 ``one last story``
but instead more music, this time Brazilian. It`s S9+30/35 but during
talk, the CCCCCCI can be underheard. 2345 `Happy New Year` in a few
languages including Russian, then story about an African gray parrot
from California, Nigel who changed its accent. 2346 Strauss march.
2349 outro as was `2025 year in review`. 2355 retune already in IS;
2356 restart IS, one German ID before chopoff uncovering the 6CI which
provided a timesignal at hourtop, official start of 2026y per UT/z/GMT
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 359 MCW kHz, Dec 31 at 0746 UT, GGF, 25-watt NDB at Grant
NE, the only somewhat unusual one this bandscan (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 28202+ CW, Dec 31 at 1619, only beacon encountered is
KA3BWP/B. WGB list: ``28203.0 KA3BWP/B - Stafford VA USA FM18gk - #0
(27 Dec 2025) Note: VVV × 5 + ID + grid`` - Stafford is just north of
Frederixburg on I-95 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2327 monitoring: confirmed
Wednesday December 31 at 2030 on SW Radio Gold, Grmany, 3975, S9/+10
into recommended Bedford UK SDR.

Also confirmed Wednesday December 31 on WBCQ 7490 -31 Hz = 7489.969,
S9+10/15 into Maryland SDR. Next:

0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW;
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;
1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160.

** U S A. 15770, Wed Dec 31 at 1616, WRMI S6/S7 surprisingly in Korean
talk, with music. Sked for WRMI-9 on red System D this hour is VOSR
International. Maybe a clip within that DX program? Recheck at 1657,
S9+10 into Maryland SDR, rock song in English, no program outro before
1659.5 ID, 1700 into Supreme Master TV (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1280, Dec 31 at 0702 UT, another try for the WNAM DX tests,
tuning direct: *no* sign of it past 0706, just ``AM 1280 The Patriot,
Intelligent Radio`` from Minneapolis, self-promotion over and over but
never heard legal calls WWTC. Surprised this was not in the way last
night when I could hear WNAM. WWTC runs 10/15 kW U4 = yes, higher
power at night. Major lobe to NNE at night, secondary lobe to SSW, but
with notches a little more to the SW:

** ARGENTINA [non]. 9455, Tue Dec 30 at 2309, RAE via WRMI, VG direct
in `Atualidade DX` program in Portuguese, already underway, something
about Malawi; 2310 multi-lingual ID reel; 2311 DX news compiled by
Arnaldo Slaen including: Sked of WMR Denmark; Bangladesh on 4750 -
hasn`t that been gone almost a year? Still in Aoki, not EiBi or WRTH;
Vietnam Democracy Radio, 9670 via Paochung [Taiwan], 1230-1258 100 kW;
7515 Guam with Living Water Ministry in Korean, missed time, but Aoki
& EiBi show that only on 9900 at 1500-1600 via unknown site. BSKSA
Riyadh on 15120 at 09-11 with 500 kW --!? AFAIK it`s totally gone from
SW, even the Yemen service. R. Progreso, Cuba 4765 until 0400* -
almost correct, in `winter` until nominal 0500* when it`s not AWOL. R.
Omdurman, Sudão, 100 kW on 7200 heard in SAm from 0400 on 7200! This
has been gone from SW for a long time, or was it 7205? Some of these
wrong items seem familiar; I suspect they are rerunning very old
reports/show! Then something about the TELAM news agency in a new?
deal? with R. Nacional in Argentina. Not clear what this is about but
R. Nacional has a bunch of UNDATED stories about the Milei government
vs TELAM! English translations offered:

** AUSTRALIA [non]. A way to spend NY Eve: via Unique Radio stream
only: 31st December New Year's Eve 2200-2400 UT Jen's musical Dance
around the time zones by country, all musical forms. 0000-0330 GB's
New Years Eve Shindig 2025 including Big Ben Bells. 0330 to 0900 Jen's
Musical Dance around the time zones continued. Live Stream:
http://uk4-vn.mixstream.net:8104/index.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13650, Dec 30 at 2303, S9+25 of dead air instead of fill
music instead of Portuguese from CRI relay. Something`s always wrong
at RadioCuba, and CRI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PHILIPPINES. 12055, Dec 30 at 2302, music, 2307 talk in tonal SE
Asian language, somewhat stronger than adjacent 12050 WEWN. Yes, EiBi
shows FEBC in Shan spoken by 3 megaMyanmarians, along with a string of
other obscure languages until 0100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 9930, Dec 30 at 2259, TOMBS somewhat
distorted S9+40 via WTWW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17715 & 17755, Dec 30 at 2333, just a trace visible but not
audible from REE into Georgia SDR; fortunately 9690 is still VG for us
direct, and 12030 sufficient, even tho tokENglish during this hour on
Dec 31 is expected to be pre-empted by New Year celebrations (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. 5960, Dec 30 at 2300, JBA carrier direct, unlikely
VOT but Urumqi, EAST TURKISTAN, supposedly not starting until 2310. By
2337 no signal into Georgia SDR, and only Chinese into UTwente; while
accidentalternate 9610 is only JBA, presumably Mongolian on CNR8 from
Beijing site. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2327 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday
December 30 at 2100 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323v, S9 into UTwente.

Also confirmed UT Wednesday December 31 at 0030 on SW Radio Gold,
Germany, 3975, S9/+20 into Bedford UK SDR, better than UTwente, too
close, S7/S9.

Also confirmed UT Wednesday December 31 at 0130 on WRMI 9395, no
signal into Georgia SDR, too close, but S9+12 into N9AZZ Illinois SDR.
Next:

2030 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975;
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW;
0030 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW;
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S;
1730 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160.

** U S A. 9330, Dec 30 at 2308, WLCR/WBCQ Portuguese blasting in again
at S9+35/40, evidently on wrong beam thisaway instead of Brasilward.
Altho the rotable antenna can be pointed in any direxion, only three
azimuths are in use per WLCR website, and only two languages! 170
degrees in Portuguese to Brazil at 22-05; 253 degrees in English to
USA at 05-17, and 57 degrees in English to UK at 17-22, Yet HFCC B25
https://new.hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=B25&broadc=BCQ
shows certain hours in Spanish, German, Arabic, some other azimuths
and even powers, not always 500 kW but some at 250. And some imaginary
relays via Bulgaria on 13840, 13850 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. Re my 990 KWAM Memphis TN log: ``Hi Glenn, The KWAM tower is
across the river in Arkansas, justifying the K call. 73, Eike
[Bierwirth], Birmingham, AL``. OK, but there are lots of
``unjustified`` K/W calls on the wrong side of a river (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

direct (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Dec 29 at 2322, S9+10/20 of dead air in Spanish from R.
Rebelde; something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Dec 29 at 2314, RHC S9+10/20 windhowling transmitter
is here instead of 15140 earlier in day; clear dead air on 11880 at
S9/+10. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Dec 30 at 0736, RHC Spanish on air way late, S7/9+25
direct, someone speaking in an echoey venue. Also with windhowl
self-QRM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Easily overcomes JBA 5th harmonic of my local stupid sportstalker,
1390 KCRC, Enid
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 6030, Dec 29 circa 2315, RRI in English, poor signal
direct but at least before Martí takes over. Poland via WRMI, Spain on
some Wednesdays, and Turkey all do better with English at 2300; but
6030 is intended only for Europe, not us beyond; alternate from
Galbeni is 7220, not noticed there but anyhow would be intruder
subject to QRhaM. English hour at 23 is also registered for
Tsiganeshti on 7325 or 9620 toward CIRAF 45 = Japan: why not? No
Japanese (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Dec 29 at 2300, REE with music, S9+30/40 to us; also
12030 S9+10/20 oppositely while 17715 & 17755 are JBA carriers.
Program sked for Dec 31-Jan 1 already shows nothing but
`Entertainment` from 19 UT Dec 31 to 13 UT Jan 1. But there is
supposed to be English at 1104-1200 UT Wed webcast only (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Dec 29 at 2300, VOT not off the air, accurate
timesignal and s/on as if it were 1330 on 13635 - something`s always
awry at Ankara. For the announcers, anything after the original
broadcast is inconsequential. S9+10/20 but insufficient vs noise level
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330, Dec 29 at 2301, WLCR/WBCQ opening Portuguese with huge
signal, S9+40/50 direct. Must be pointing thisaway 253 degrees instead
of 170 to Brasil when it`s normally quite weak here off the side
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 1280, Dec 30 at 0704 UT, DX test from WNAM Neenah/Menasha WI
is detectable direct vs QRM from lots of other stations, sweeps upward
and in between Morse code including ID as WNAM.

To know what to listen for, I had tuned to the first hourly
transmission at 0604 via N8BTR remote at Tall Pines Cabin in NE
Wisconsin. From tune-in at 0555, heavy QRM in French, from CFMB
Montreal, 50/50 kW but supposed to have a notch to the west. Would not
be the first Canadian failing to implement required direxionality.
WNAM is generally underneath it.

The DX material is to air at :03-:05 past each hour from 0600 to 1105
UT Dec 30 and 31. Started with phone-off-the-hook tones, sweeps
upward, Morse code, more sweeps, gmail address, singing ID. 0606
``continue to tune in as we honor our final days on the air``. Of
course, DXers are on their honor to pick it up direct and/or specify
if via a remote, and not fake a report from what others have heard.

Joe Hanlon found this 2+ minute story on WNAM from WBAY-TV Green Bay,
which BTW was one of the first stations I TVDXed from NM in 1954 when
on channel A2:
