** CHINA. 9860, Dec 27 at 2320, Firedragon jammer of traditional instrumental-only music with lots of percussion, is S9+20/30 with victim barely audible under, i.e. RFA Mandarin via TINIAN this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** COLOMBIA. 4940, Dec 28 at 0145, usual gospel huxtering in Spanish from mystery missionary station, S7-S8 into Bonaire SDR. Here, it`s a JBA carrier vs S9+10 HLNL, while by 0505 at Bonaire during devotional of pious platitudes and then citing Lucas XVII, it`s S8/S9+ but quite sufficient. Aoki/NDXC now lists this as: ``4940 -2400 CLM La Montana Colombia Spa Maicao 1-7`` And this has now been copied by aggregators such as short-wave.info/ But how were this name and location determined? Perhaps Ron Howard can find out from his Japanese DX contacts. Maicao is in NE Colombia, right on the Venezuelan border and on the main highway across the northern tier, thus a prime destination for Venezuelan refugees or at least visitors. Further north than the previous DF/guesses (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KOREA SOUTH. 9805, Dec 27 at 2321, Chinese at S9+20/30 with K-Pop, i.e. as you would expect, KBSWR as scheduled this hour 100 kW at 205 degrees, so why is it inbooming over here? I guess this does not provoke ChiCom jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2066 monitoring: confirmed Sunday December 27 at 2300.2 on Area 51 via WBCQ 6159.94v, S9/+20; IS & ID loop was playing already at tune-in 2257. Missed checking 0030 UT Mon Dec 28 on WRMI 7730; anyone hear it? Confirmed no longer at 0130 UT Mon on WRMI 7780, instead Wavescan.

Also the transitions between music and announcements are noisy as if surging automatic volume control were engaged in produxion (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5085, Dec 28 at 0521, WTWW-2 is strongly on and modulating rock music. Wolfgang Bueschel also noted the dead air earlier: ``some logs of Dec 26 re US private broadcaster. 5085even WTWW only empty carrier signal at 0718 UT on Dec 26, and two accompanied spurious strings seen on 5072.020 and 5097.980 kHz exact. S=9+30dB powerful noted in Cape Canaveral FL, as well as on NJ and MI states. Also accompanied by 60, 120, 240, 360, and 480 Hertz spur buzz strings from the mains. wb`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 830, more replies to thread I started, ``Why is WCCO 830 echoing?`` on the IRCA iog: Mike VE7SKA cn88/B.C. Dec 24 #15359 ``I too have been noticing the echoes on WCCO the last few evenings & think Glen[n] probably has the answer that the station is testing a second, auxilliary transmitter. Often echoes on the same frequency indicate the same syndicated program is being transmitted on two different DX stations with slight offsets or lags in audio. However, in this case as others have noted, there are some differences in the fades that can be heard indicating two transmissions in very close proximity. 73 Mike, Salt Spring Island BC`` Scott Fybush Dec 25 #15381 IRCA iog: ``WCCO is one of the rare AM stations (I know of fewer than a dozen around the country) with a full-power auxiliary transmission facility at a different location. If you look on FCCData.org (by far the best way to parse the FCC's databases), you'll see it listed under the BXL-19991004ACA application - the "X" is the giveaway that it's an aux license: https://fccdata.org/?lang=en=417231=9642 As others have mentioned on this thread, this is a shorter tower than the main one - 127.6 degrees at 830, so it will have different skywave propagation characteristics from the big 194 degree main tower a few miles to the south in Coon Rapids.
