QRZ.com: ``VK2XZ Australia flag Australia, Rob VK2XZ, Southern
Highlands, POB 891 Bowral NSW 2576, Australia`` Apparently his surname
is classified unless it`s legally changed to `VK2XZ` - can you do that
in NSW? A broader websearch finds it: Robert James Long (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

including KP4TV. QRZ.com: ``PY3PA Brazil flag Brazil, PAULO SANTOS,

** EGYPT. 9439.860+, Dec 25 at *2116, S9+35 silent carrier cuts on
into UTwente, after nothing at 2115. Soon talk, extremely suptorted,
2218 ``Radio Cairo presents -- Turkey(?)`` sounded like. Something`s
always awful at Abis and/or crappy at Cairo (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** EUROPE. 7399.906-, Dec 25 at 1644 into UTwente, S7 rock music from
R. Marconi International; 1647 English announcement with frequencies,
mostly unreadable, 1648 back to music. 1726 another announcement break.

** KIRITIMATI. 846 kHz, Dec 25 at 0735, still zero signal from R.
Kiribati: would have been just the day to turn it back on. I check
almost every night just in case; it used to be a regular JBA carrier,
so far east from the rest of Kiribati, about the same longitude as
Hawaii, that it could be detected as early as 0430 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Dec 25 at 2259, RNE S9+30/40 direct, 2300 TS and
token English. No signal here on 12030 but JBA carriers on 17715 &
17755, but at 2326 into UTwente, 12030.000+ is there at S8/S9. Opening
previews feature about tiny Xmas trees, one of 2 centimeters in
Galicia, but that`s huge compared to one of 10 micrometers which can
be seen only thru an electron microscope. And later, more Xmas
traditions. 2302 no news but Xmas in Mideast: pope calls for
ceasefire; there were 1000 Xians in Gaza; let`s try to celebrate;
Xians in Syria asked to scale back celebrations - preceding seems by
their Lebanon correspondent. 2304 contact info including
[email protected]. 2305 tune `Rockin` Around the Xmas Tree` and on about
the tiny ones (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 5960.004-, Dec 25 at 2258, VOT with IS, S9+10/20 but JBA
direct vs HNL. 2226 into UTwente when measured, S9+35/45 music, 2329
`The Middle East and Turkey` about Pres. E`s address to a group of 8
countries, V8, or what? music, 2353 s/off as if 1330 on 13635, awry, 6
notes of IS before chop at 2354* uncovering Chinese, no finesse,
erroneous (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U K. 11900, Texas Radio Shortwave, *0300-0400* UT Dec 25, 250 kW
from Woofferton: Too weak JBA direct to OK; sufficient into Maryland
SDR, S7/S9, opens with YL ID amid jingling bells; holds up for full
hour except for increasing fast flutter - true SW sound! (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 28278 CW, Dec 25 at 2308, VVV DE W7UUU/B, with loong pauses.
Ditto my Dec 4 log, q.v., not listed: Dave Ellison, Burley WA. 28300
K6FRC also in (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2274 monitoring: confirmed UT

into UTwente.
Also confirmed UT Wednesday December 25 at 0030 on WRMI, 9395,

** U S A. 12160, Dec 25 at 1622, WWCR-2 surrounded by gunk, squeals
out to plus/minus 10 kHz, center S9+45. Same transmitter elsewhen on
5935, 7490, 9350. However, at this time cannot be blamed on TOMBS feed
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 9960, Dec 25 at 0618, JBA carrier from reactivated R.
Vanuatu; via remotes, Ron Howard first reported it back at 0245; and
after 0658 changed to 3945. Unfortunately, still fails to radiate
convenient harmonix on 7890, 11835, which I routinely check in
bandscans (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VATICAN. 9710, Dec 25 at 0718, RCC style chanting, can`t discern
language, S3/S4 direct. Now is major VR frequency both in local
evenings and mornings, tho not sked at this exact time per EiBi,
presumably Xmas special. Detailed multi-lingual schedules here, date
by date, everything but - frequencies!

MADAGASCAR Yes, Madagasikara tx unit 5010 kHz has been down now many
years.
Originate 2 x 50 kW originate twin unit built up in Siemens Vienna -
Austria factory
(help of RIZ Zagreb, Croatia ? )
and erected probably in the mid 80ties at SFBerlin/R Bremen 6190 kHz outlet
(target towards GDR then),
and moved around 1996 year out of Bremen and erected at SWF Rohrdorf -
southern Germany.
I'm visited in 1999 year during a sightseeing tour of our local amateur
radio club P06 Ludwigsburg.
In 1996 year at Rohrdorf tx bcast center,
power level decreased from original 50/30 kW water-cooled
to 10 kW air cooled construction type.
Unit sponsored as aid by the German develop departements;
the Siemens transmitter was finally donated to Madagascar
by SWR Rohrdorf / Germany
and was also built-up there by German technicians,
and was in operation there on 7 and 5 MHz more as a decade from 2004 year or
so .

That would be inconvenient for WRMI already on 5010 - like right now, with
Overcomer.
Mad has been gone from 5010 for many years, but ?? Glenn
