Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
** AFGHANISTAN [non]. 7495, Dec 30 at 0153, growing signal hinders
7490 WBCQ as heard S7/S9 via nearby remote in NH. This is R. Ashna via
KUWAIT from 0130 in Pashto to be followed by Dari at 0200-0230, so
also reaching far beyond and in wrong direxion (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RC USB, Dec 31 at 0012, LRA36 with rock music,
S8/9+5 into Argentine SDR. Otherwise occupied, not checked earlier
this Saturday. 0013 outro program credits. 0014 too fast Morse code,
and sign-on! ``a partir de este momento``, multi-lingual RNASG ID,
starting playback of entire 6-hour broadcast? But for how long this
week? Walt Salmaniw first reported it at 2145 Dec 30, and other North
Americans were getting it direct. So am I at 0020 check but unusable,
S5 like the band noise level. Likely on air from before 1800 as usual
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ASCENSION. 21630, Dec 30 at 1620, extremely excited announcer and
crowd; must be a stupid ballgame, BBC relay wasting resources upon.
Probably also on 25900 from UKQOGBANI but JBA carrier (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** CHINA [and non]. 11565 & 11565, Dec 30 at 1621, two strong signals
colliding in Chinese, partly with music. It`s RFA Mandarin via TINIAN
and CNR1 jamming at 16-19 per EiBi (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6000, Dec 30 at 0722, RHC still on, S9+25/30 but just barely
modulated in English --- AND flanked by much weaker parasitic spurs
plus and minus 10 kHz with their own fading, circa S6/S7 on 5990,
S4/S5 on 6010, the upper not to be confused with slightly
off-frequency Brasil. This explains my unID 5990 carrier Dec 15 at
0458, when 6000 was also on but did not notice then a 6010 match. Must
be the transmitter once on 11850 in the tardes, always also flanked by
weak parasites on 11840 & 11860 -- and before that same except all 10
kHz higher. Recently, Wolfgang Bueschel also found such a triad 1 Hz
below 15220/15230/15240 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ETHIOPIA [non]. 15710.1, Dec 30 at 1617, S8/9+5 of algo talk, no
doubt the Saturday-only Moresh Voice of Amhara clandestine via RMI via
defective Issoudun, FRANCE transmitter, tho still missing from WRMI
website. It does show another one daily except Sundays at 1600-1630 on
17685, Amhara Radio International, but I didn`t check that in time
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 11514.9, Dec 30 at 1620, algo JBA direct, as we now
know is pirate Hikari FM from Arizona or Sonora. Not bad, of course,
if only 10 watts. He may be running this long hours, all day? Still
JBA carrier at 0021 Dec 31 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, KUCO FM, strange stuff, early Saturday Dec 30 which
I often check late and overnight when I`m awake: at 0655 UT, sounds
like ambient `space music`! So instead of usual `Overnights with Peter
Van De Graaf` syndicated from Chicago, is `Music from the Hearts of
Space` running later than scheduled 05-06 UT Sat?? No, soon outro for
`Beyond the Barrier`, but to continue for another hour on some
stations, which it does here after 0700! Another check at 1000, still
no PVDG but instead the video game music show, which is no longer on
the KUCO sked anywhen. I can`t remember the exact title and now can
find it nowhere, not even at publicradiofan.com
Inspecting the current KUCO sked,
https://www.kucofm.com/program-grid/
I see some other changes, Jahrwechsel already underway: `Feminine
Fusion` from WCNY has vanished, the show by a colleague of Marie Lamb.
Oops, there`s `Beyond the Barrier`, supposedly Saturday at 6-7 am CT =
12-13 UT, when I was asleep, rather than the time I really heard it.
Was KUCO automation totally off-timed?! Looks like `MFTHOS` has
competition or maybe successor? More about BTB:
https://beyondthebarrier.net/
BTW, last Saturday, KUCO dumped out of `Tannh?user` from The Met, long
before the ~4.5 hour opera was really over, maybe fooled by an
intermission. I wasn`t trying to listen to it straight thru, but did
notice Lane Whitesell`s post-Met fill music show was already running
by 2130? UT; after quite a while, limped abruptly back to Met. Also,
once last week they couldn`t remember what day it was, instead playing
one of their own `Day to Remember` episodes a week old instead of
current date. Tsk2 (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. After noticing DTV signals from Tulsa area in with a
tropo boost, I scan FM on caradio and as expected, that market`s FMs
are also in solid on several frequencies, notably 92.9, but at 1840 UT
Dec 30 I hear a new? call in passing, KRQD, then Tulsa adstring. FCC
FM Query shows ex-KBEZ but no call change date. Axually it happened at
``midnight`` [before or after?] Labor Day Sept 4, 2023 as explained
here:
https://radioinsight.com/headlines/258367/92-9-tulsa-drives-off-into-a-river/
Another new? twist, at 1859 UT, 106.1 ID as Twister and inviting
requests via app. That`s KTGX Owasso. I still miss classical KCMA
onceuponatime on 106.1. That went away in 1994y per glimpse of a Tulsa
World story before its paywall blox. Same frequency, but must be a
different Facility as FCC FM Query does not show KCMA calls as
predecessor to KTGX, rather KQLL in 1990-2009y (Glenn Hauser, Enid,
WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. APRS map shows some area tropo enhancement morning of Dec
30, but do not get around to DTV bandscan until 1827 UT, when there
are several BAD signals, and one decoding nicely, RF26 with CBS
sports, i.e. KOTV 6-1, along with KQCW-SD on 6-2, News on 6 on 6-3.
But not for long. Rabbitears.info shows same trio also on RF19 and
RF30, neither making it now -- only 1 kW ERP and nowhere near Tulsa,
rather McAlester OK and Caney KS - but not separate calls? (Glenn
Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** PUERTO RICO [non]. Re my log of DDP on 391 kHz: ``Hi Glenn!
According to the RXX database at
https://rxx.classaxe.com/en/rna/signals
eight Caribbean beacons have been logged in the past year. Of these,
ZDX on 369 kHz from Antigua and TAB on 323 kHz from Trinidad and
Tobago are the two most frequently logged after DDP on 391 kHz. With
the high noise levels at your QTH, you may have to wait for auroral
conditions to log them. Steve Howe, Saint Albans, VT`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 6125.004, Dec 30 at 0414, NO signal direct from VOT English
to N America. Something`s erroneous at Emirler. But recheck 0440 into
UTwente, now it`s on at S9+35/45 with same `Feeling Supreme/The
Healing Spring` as heard 5 hours earlier on 5960, foods good for lung
health. Same offset, likely same transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY [non]. 5960.000, Dec 30 at 2343 check via UTwente, no VOT,
probably AWOL entire hour; rather, nothing but S9/+10 Chinese from
XJPBS, EAST TURKISTAN, std denunciation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U K Q O G B A N I. 17745, Dec 30 at 1618, JBA talk from algo: per
EiBi it`s BBC Somali, Saturday only 1430-1730 out of Woofferton (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2223 monitoring: confirmed UT
Saturday December 30 at 0130 on WRMI 5850, S9+15/33 into Missouri
SDR.
Also confirmed Saturday December 30 at 1700 on WRN N America
webcast.
Lesley Illingworth, UK, reports to WOR iog at 1842 Dec 30: ``Shortwave
Radio from Winsen, Germany, 3975: Listening to CQ Serenade at 18:00z.
First they carried about 20min of ARN News, some Germany DX programe
following. At 18.30z suprisingly WOR with Glenn. Hope this will be a
permanent event. Listening via Twente. It seems like they have daily
repeats of the show. But nothing on their website concerning times. I
try to contact them tomorrow. Have a happy new year at your tuning
knobs, chaps. 73's Lesley`` --- news to me, gh!
Also confirmed Saturday December 30 at 2033 the 2030v on WA0RCR, 1860

** U S A. WBCQ survey before `AAAWWW`, UT Sat Dec 30 from 0050 into NH
remote with accurate calibration compared to WWV:
6160 -67 Hz = 6159.933, S9+10 of dead air! SAWA; not with `AAAWWW`
later
7490 -46 Hz = 7489.954, S9/+18 of `FKB Sermon Time`
5130 +444 Hz = 5130.444, S7/S9 of `ATATT`
3265 +125 Hz = 3265.125, S9/+10 of `FKB` // 7490, tho not sked
9330.001, S7/9+5, WLCR in Portuguese
>From 0100 I start listening to `AAAWWW` on 3265+ tho it`s also on 5
and 7 now. Refers to `New Year Eve eve`, so it`s new. Allan is in
frigid Maine, and Angela is ``with me`` but obviously via phoneline,
so really still in Deland of Fla. He wastes no time in diving right
into politix as in what needs to happen in 2024, and spot chex later
in the hour show nothing but heated delusional Trumpist political
ranting, against ``puppet`` Biden.
By 0153 I notice that 7490 is losing out to ACI from 7495, which is R.
Ashna, Kuwait in Pashto from 0130: at least as heard in NH.
At 0156 he finally chex the mail: a couple endorsing his POV. Pause,
and then a `negative` one from Jerry, pointing out that T**** says he
wants to be a dictator and admires other dictators past and present.
Altho this is patently obvious, A&A pooh-pooh that idea and deride
Jerry. They keep going overtime more than usual until 0203 JIP Hal
Turner (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

down the NYE with music coordinated to the time zones, e.g. Brazil, music from
Brazil. The music is more Real Deal R & R when it approaches North America.
