** CUBA. 9700, Dec 26 at 0557, RHC English is back here, after switch
back to 6145 last night, // much weaker 6000. Something`s not wrong at
RHC.
Also about 9700, Kenneth Vito Zichi, Williamston MI reports in the
MARE Tipsheet: ``9700 RHC *SPANISH* (yes, something is always wrong,
but really, not so horrible with this mistake) mostly EZL Cuban music

** GERMANY. Re my report of 9670, 0400+ UT Dec 26, Channel 292 with
RNEI, or ``OSR``?
``Hi Glenn, merry Xmas and happy New Year 2021! That's OHR, Offshore
History Radio. Often used by Channel 292 as a 'filler' between hours
booked by scheduled broadcasters. Heard here with a very weak signal
on 9670 at 0410-0420 this morning, Dec 26. Looks like RNEI either was
aired an hour earlier (current Channel 292 sked shows 0300 today) or
was cancelled for some reason. 73, Dmitry Mezin, Kazan, RUS``
And from Roger Thauer, Germany:
``1.)

https://www.channel292.de/s/cc_images/teaserbox_2484508986.jpg
I had seen the 0300z entry in the schedule for ch292 beforehand. So I
had already checked the situation at 0300z / 04.00 CET on the 9670
kHz. But, since there was no signal on various KIWI SDRs between
Moscow and Kamschatka, not a trace of a transmitter carrier.
2.) An hour later, the situation as described by Glenn. I was i.a.
also back on the Novosibirsk SDR and saw another user from the USA,
probably him.
3.) The midday broadcast from RNEI via ch292 also on 9670 kHz (on
ordered 293? ===> UK/IRL/US) on yesterday, December 25th, at least
worked. The DRM QAM16 SNR (at the end of the show) reached a peak
value of 17 dB in Carlow [IRL]. roger`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 830, Dec 26 circa 0600 UT, no more echoing heard on WCCO.
Replying to my previous reports, Scott Blixt, Minnesota DX Club:
``Re: [MDXC] Why is WCCO 830 echoing? I live here in MN near the Twin
Cities. I did not listen when you did so I`m not sure of any echo
that`s going on. But I will listen more carefully to see if I do hear
it.
WCCO does indeed have a back up transmitter site located just North of
Anoka MN. They own the old KTWN/KANO tower that was 1470 back in the
day. I know a fellow DXer who lives a few blocks away. He mentions to
me that they overload the front end of his radio out when they are
using this transmitter
It is only miles from the Coon Rapids site they use on a day to day
basis. Perhaps someone else in the MDXC will have more info to share``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. RF 15, Dec 26 at 1643, marginal tropo blob from here into S
and SE Kansas visiblizes KSNW-DT ``3`` Wichita. The only DX decoding
via my broken antenna; and despite my ``local`` KOPX OKC on RF 15.
Only Wichita station making it, not even Bad signals on open others.
First time I think since repacked from RF 45 altho many times KOPX has
been QRMed out by something, probably this. Subchannels:
3-1, KSNW-DT [NBC]
3-2, T`Mundo --- yes, apparently apostrophied in tiny font PSIP, not
Telemun as in rabbitears.info
3-3, ION
3-4, TCN --- True Crime Network, a.k.a. Justice but no such ID seen.
I also got some good freeze-frame breakup shots, all-red & white
