We?ve all experienced the feeling of visiting a group outside of our own 
background and being completely flummoxed by the rapid-fire jargon being thrown 
around. Just as confusing are the measurements in this alternate universe.....

Even with the massive migration of Brazilian medium wave stations to FM, a
simple check of what is received in the interior of the state of S?o Paulo
(125 km from my home in S?o Bernardo) shows that the 530 to 1710 kHz band
remains strong! 
I can't classify this action as a DX-Camp one-man, but on trips like this, I
always carry radio and antenna equipment with me. 
The old Sony ICF2001D remains firm even after nearly 40 years of its
manufacture. The ferrite loop built by our great friend Rene Passold was
decisive in the quality of these receptions.

** BOLIVIA [and non]. 6024.96v, a reminder to check for Radio
Illimani, New Year`s Eve, as it was believed to be the carrier active
Xmas Eve, but which I have neglected to seek interimly. Also anything
else unusual, especially on tropical bands such as temporary
reactivations or late extensions. Webcast ``DXers`` may also be
following the sweep of 2020y across the globe from timezone to
timezone. On SW, we traditionally find Spain a good one to hear
celebrating live before and after 2300 UT, on 9690 et al. (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CANADA. 223 kHz, Dec 31 at 0703 UT, ND beacon YYW and dash, 1000

** CUBA. 6100, Dec 31 at 0658, RHC English best here, also weaker
6145, but 6100 cuts off at 0700, leaving undermodulated 6145; while
5040 was still on but in Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13768 & 13632 approx., Dec 31 at 1532, spurblobs from RHC
13700, with F# tone audible only in FM mode = about 370 Hz.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** GUAM. 7515, Dec 31 at 1614, songs on VP S5-S7 signal. Aoki/NDXC
shows the only 7515 ever is Living Water Ministry, in Korean,
1515-1615 on Tue/Wed/Thu/Fri via Aga?a; same hour other days of week
is some other KTWR in Korean on 7510 instead; why? 

BTW there are multiple linx to SW schedule sources including NDXC on
the WOR homepage; look for B19:

** KOREA NORTH [and non]. 7220, Tue Dec 31 at 0650, two stations
mixing, choral music and tonal talk, African? 0654 one is reciting the
VOK schedule in English, or part of it. Per Aoki the other would be DW
in Hausa via SAO TOME. China`s CNR2 via Golmud also listed at this
hour, but never on Wednesday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND. 13835-13840-13845, UT Dec 31 at 1935, S9+10 DRM noise
way stronger than JBA 13845-AM WWCR. RNZ Pacific scheduled 1851-1958,
its only daily DRM, the preceding ones taking Saturdays off. This
future broadcast from another decade, another year, another day. Too
bad that in such a vacant band two signals must clash so adjacently,
even tho they be for different targets from different hemispheres.
News in Tongan is coming up at 1940, where probably not a single
listener tune it direct, rather from AM/FM relays of this feeder;
altho not shown at this specific time in WRTH 2020, page 390.
Transmission starts with news in Niuean, otherwise various forms of
news in English, which DRM enthusiasts beyond may well audition (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 7470, Dec 31 at 0303, Station YHWH is on again with
Yahweh stuff, going thru its 10 Commandments, S9 peaks (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 13565-CW, Dec 31 at 1533, K6FRC HIFER beacon JBA in the
clear, since the Cuban 13700 spurblobs are first-order only to 13632,
not second-order double that which would have landed around 13564;
whew (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

As for Bolivia, in the UT-4 zone, I`m again hearing that JBA carrier slightly 
below 6025 like on Xmas eve, suspected Red Patria Nueva; can anyone get any 
audio? Nothing on 5952.4 or 6134.8; 3310 could be on but blocked here by local 
mix. Glenn

Spain at 2300 was a bust, 9690 not on air and 12030 fading out

Jan 1, WOR iog, HCDX and condiglista yg via DX LISTENING DIGEST) By
0405 I can no longer detect that 6025- JBA carrier, now that it`s
2020; altho splash from 6030 Mart? music is heavy (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 6180, Jan 1 at 0156, RNA song is atop CRI/Cuba but with
fast SAH. Last year, Brasileiros imagined midnight was at 0200 UT due
to Daylight Shifting Time, but no DST this summer, so not until 0300
UT in the south and east. Still a fast SAH at 0256, and no respite as
at some point La Voz Alegre from Madagascar takes over from Cuba; the
fast SAH remains, so RNA is the one off-frequency slightly plus around
20-25 Hz. I can`t make out any countdown or timesignal at 0300, but
MWV is about equal level to RNA, a huge collision. By 0309, RNA has
gone off leaving LVA to its hymnic harmony in Spanish. 

Earlier at 0217, I reminded our groupies: 

``NYE in Brasil --- The next SW country to enter 2020:
at 0300 UT on 6180 RNA if it`s still on vs MWV Madagascar in Spanish
at 0300 UT on all the active gospel huxters on 25, 31, 49m
at 0300 UT on 4885 Para, nominally 24h
at 0400 UT on 4885 Acre
at 0400 UT on 4875 Roraima (which is stronger than the 4885s here at
0210)`` 

I could tell the following were active: Aparecida 11856v, Mission?ria
9665v, but not attempting to hear them.

4875.02, Jan 1 at 0357, now I am monitoring R. Roraima where it`s
almost 2020/midnite: at 0400 there is no timesignal or countdown but I
can make out elements of an ID, which must be a sign-off, as into dead
air which continues past 0405. If 0300 be their normal closing as in
WRTH 2020, it was at least extended an hour for the occasion.

4885v, Jan 1 at 0406, there are still two signals on here making their
characteristic double-het with a BFO (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST) 

** CANADA [non]. 7850-CUSB, Dec 31 at 2359, I am prepared to render
reactivated CHU the honour of informing us of the true UT arrival of
2020y, but it`s too weak --- so a quick change to 5000 WWV just in
time to hear the 0000 timecheck January 1, 2020 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDIA. 9445, Dec 31 at 2245, AIR GOS sign-on with frequencies, this
one for NE Asia but best here at S5-S7; contact info, 2247 songs
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6930-USB, Dec 31 at 2319 tune-in, S9+10 pirate with
talkative DJ about to play ``Whiskey in the Jar``; 2324 outro Peter,
Paul & Mary on Bigg`s(?) Attic on New Year`s Eve; 2327 outro Al Hirt &
Tijuana Brass, mentions ``microphonium`` under the influence of
TimTron whom he sorta resembles, but no belches; 2333 outro another
tune, says will move ``up`` from the 43 mb to the 73 mb by 0000; ID
Zach(?) Radio; going to finish with the Beatles; 2339 another outro
now says it`s tomorrow night when will be on 73m; has to go outside
and adjust stuff first. No electrical problems, but threatens any US
agents trying to breach fortifications will find themselves in an
ant/roach motel. Final ID until off at 2340.4* sounds like ``Vicky`s
Attic Radio``. Well, everyone here calls it Zeke`s Attic Radio:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,61900.0.html
from 2235 altho most had trouble hearing him after 2300. 

But he was reported again after 0120 UT Jan 1 on 4245-USB. 
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,61913.0.html
I did not hear any pirates in the 4`s after 2341, but busy with The
Capitol Steps via WVPE after 0000, and NY Philharmonic via PBS after
0100. But at 0152 check, I do have him again on 4245-USB, Zeke
lamenting he got rid of his vinyl 14 years ago; could find some in
thrift stores 5 years ago, but not any more. Everybody`s buying them
up and reselling at a profit on EBay. 0154 plays a song from 1958y.

BTW, any pirates not wanting to be heard in Enid OK should use 4170
which is blocked by KCRC X 3. Or if anyone hear that beyond Garfield
County, I`d like to know (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SPAIN. 9690, Dec 31 at 2243, REE is OFF this frequency, after I
have recommended it for NYE festivities! 12030, the ME channel
second-best here oppositeward, is on with pop song in Castilian; can`t
tell if the other two, 11940 and 11685 be on due to weakness and/or
QRM. So I stick with 12030 for hourtop, yeartop; 2258 they are QRXing
for the campanadas, but fading and I can barely make them out, much
less the thelebrations to follow! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 15730, Dec 31 at 1937, VOA French via Grimesland, VG S9+20
with news axuality from Baghdad including explosions (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, Dec 31 at 2128, WRMI IS & ID loop, programming to
start ``at the top of the hour`` --- generic leadup now apropos only
in India, Iran, Afghanistan, Myanmar, etc. The 2130 program turns out
to be Blalock the Blaster, who has now acquired an extra semi-hour on
this frequency M-F at 2130-2200 as on the transmission schedule but
not on the program schedule. BLAAAAAAAAHHHHH (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5800, Dec 31 at 2239 check, WRMI-10 is on again with SMTV
after AWOL yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Now as 0500 & 0600 UT approach, over to our own celebrations. Happy
New Year to all!
