After leaving DX some time ago, I am now back after a week of being affected
byCOVID-19 with temps up to 39.5 .?Although the virus seems to be leaving me, I
still experience occasionaltemperature peaks, reaching as high as 38.5?C late
at nights. I am currentlytaking antibiotics.

** ALASKA. 9550 & 9585, Dec 18 at 1600, KNLS IS on both! Unusual, but
they do have two transmitters, sometimes both funxional. At 1601,
still IS on 9550, while 9585 is opening Russian. At 1602, 9585 opens
Chinese, pronouncing website in English except some CC word for
``point``: www.smzg.net --- that page worx, but I wonder what SMZG
stands for, transliterated from Chinese, name of station? Main English
site leads to NOT FOUND schedule page!
https://www.worldchristian.org/welcome/who-we-are/how-to-listen/
As I learnt long ago, it`s easier to find a full sked in the Russian
part!
https://www.knls.net/%d1%80%d0%b0%d1%81%d0%bf%d0%b8%d1%81%d0%b0%d0%bd%d0%b8%d0%b5-knls/
All that gibberish is converted from a Russian word I would
transliterate as: raspisanie - which means schedule. Sure enuf, tho
labeled with B23 datespan, it`s contradictory to what I heard: at
1600, Xmtr 1 on 9585 in Russian, but Xmtr 2 shown on 6110 in Chinese
at 16-17; yet 9550 at 15-16 & 17-18! However, HFCC shows 6110 only at
14-15 in English, and at 16-17 the two 9`s. KNLS is known for abrupt
midseason changes, and one of the transmitters failing (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** BRAZIL [and non]. 11749.84 approx., Dec 18 at 2312, music presumed
the always-variable RVM but more than one carrier around here.
Currently something local is putting out very weak carriers every 10
kHz ending in -0 but not exactly, all over the SW bands. Previously
and maybe again later, 10/kHz carriers were appearing near frequencies
ending circa 7. Ideas? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 5910, Dec 18 at 0448, CRI relay via CUBA is on in Cantonese,
bigsig obviously on ATS-909 portable; had been missing before, a
couple times. So COLOMBIA remains blocked. This time carrier on until
0500.6*. Something`s not wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15140, Dec 18 at 2308, S9/+10 of Spanish from RHC, this
frequency way overtime, supposedly -2030* after a sesquihour in
English, French. But 15230 supposed to be on, missing. Also on VG //
11760 but no other 25m; 13650 as usual with CRI non-Portuguese relay
of Chinese music only. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** GUAM. 17570, Dec 18 at 2307, S9/+10 direct in Thai? the SSOB and
almost the OSOB! No, it`s similar Khmer as sked from KSDA due west
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MADAGASCAR. 11610, Dec 18 at 2311, S9+10/20 of dead air, no doubt
MWV again failing to turn off after Arabic until 2258. Next broadcasts
not until 0200; wake up! Something`s maladjusted at Mahajanga. BTW, I
see on page 644 in WRTH 2023, two additional names for the site, N.B.,
never referenced in logs, I wonder why: (Belobaka); Amparemahitsy ---
more alliterative alternative temptations (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 1210 kHz, Dec 18 at 0701 UT, Town Hall news, S9+38
dominating, promo some far-right extremist talkshow; 0705 ``Five-state
talker, KGYN Guymon`` ID; too modest. Continues to be ND at night
rather than protecting Philadelphia as required; altho we are slightly
off the notch, more like thru Wichita. This explains how someone in
Connecticut DXed KGYN during a WPHT pause. NRC AM Log shows both
branded as ``The Big Talker``. Both also had CBS News, changed? Log
does not show KGYN with THN (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 9690, Mon Dec 18 at 2300, token English from SNR VG S9+20/30
direct, also much weaker 12030 and JBA carriers on 17715 & 17755.
Previews topix after news: ``Harry Potter`` exhibition touring Europe
attracting huge crowds; and about some criminal, Jos? Moreno C---
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 5960.005, Dec 17 at 2314 check, VOT English not off the
air, S9+25/35 into UTwente with multi-lingual ID filler reel.
[non]. 5960.001, Dec 18 at 2300 check direct, VOT English not not off
the air, i.e. is off the air; 2334 UTwente agrees, nothing but the
ChiCom which TRT normally overrides when it`s on. Something`s always
erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 13565 CW, Dec 18 at 1550, beacon K6FRC is JBA -- first time
heard since June 18 at 0703, despite almost daily scans across the ISM
band; otherwise would only get it shortly after CA sunrise. Allegedly
1.8 milliwatts from Patterson CA. Much more regular is a biggersig on
28300 from a different K6FRC/B QTH, Tracy CA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2221 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
December 17 at 2100 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S9+15 with no
CC QRM unlike Friday, into nearby SDR.
Also confirmed UT Monday December 18 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S9/+10 but
noisy direct, off side of SW beam; and still no noise blast QRM at
outset.
NOT confirmed UT Monday December 18 at 0400 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6160
-68 Hz = 6159.932, S5/S8 into NH SDR: rather, Johnny Lightning on RNI
runs a full hour overtime; includes commercial parodies. 0500 switch
to TOMBS with Alex Scourby Bibleblather. WOR back next week? Next,
this week:
0330 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to SW
1400 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?]
0030 UT Wednesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
1200 UT Wednesday Unique R, NSW 5035-USB or 3210-USB
1230 UT Wednesday Unique R, NSW 5035-USB or 3210-USB [previous #2220]
1500 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 [unsked but confirmed last 2 weeks]
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW or 5130v?
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S
0230 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW

not necessarily in US funds, to woradio at yahoo.com
One may also contribute via MO or check on a US bank to:
Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 9330, Dec 18 at 0659, nothing but a JBA carrier, presumed
WBCQ very much outpropped, rather than inactive Cuban spy numbers
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 9960, Dec 18 at 0655, RV with island? music and talk,
S3/S5 direct and gone by 0659; 9955 WRMI even weaker. Am usually not
ready to tune before 0700 but hustle tonight to reconfirm RV still
there (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VATICAN [non]. 11895, Dec 18 at 2314, 1 kHz tone test, 2315 VR IS a
bit and off*. Scheduled Vietnamese via USAGM Tinang, PHILIPPINES,
*starting at 2315-2400*. For now, suspended violation of Separation Of
Church And State, but probably came back, unchecked further (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED [and non]. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier check, Dec 18 at
0706, only 891, audible het against 890s, among the regular spots. Not
only WLS but CCI seems Spanish, likely CUBA 200 kW rather than several
low-powered Unitedstatesians (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9096 approx., Dec 18 at 1538 echoey tones S9+20, like a
log amid the 7 MHz band some weeks ago. No carrier to measure
precisely (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

Sigh, correcting one frequency ref, At 1602, 9550 opens Chinese - not 9585
