The broadcast on 7380kHz. at 0100 UTC most evenings has been coming in reasonably well. However the last several nights, when I can hear it at all, there have been numerous problems. One evening they were on the wrong frequency of 7385kHz., right on top of the Chinese station. It looked like someone finally noticed and shut it down. It finally came back on 7380kHz. where it should have been, but the transmitter kept cutting out. After some time things finally settled down. Other nights they seem to be running at a lower power level but then they eventually come back up in strength. Also the transmitter will cut out or there are a bunch of odd tones or noises being transmitted, or periods of no audio at all. Further they seem to off frequency slightly on the high side. I verify what I'm hearing by using other online receivers such as the one in Vadodra, India.

[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs December 25, 2022
** CUBA. 6000, Dec 25 at 0205, RHC English, S9+45 but with huge humbuzz; // 6165 is S9/+20 with less mod and less hum. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6060, Dec 25 at 0811, RHC in Sunday Esperanto! S7/S9. First time confirmed, at least by me, first airing this season; could be on 6100. You never know which 6 MHz channel will be on this late, if any. Also Esp`o after 1600 on usual 11760 & 15140. Despite announcements, third airing may be at 2130 on 13680 or somewhere. Just before or after 1600, other RHCs were dead airing and/or turning off: 9710, 9535, 15230, 13700. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 15185, Dec 25 at 1605, S7/9+10 but JBM. EiBi shows at 1600-1630, clandestine Oromiya Public Media in TIG via Issoudun. Standard remark about sites not bothering with modulation. Something`s incredulous at Issoudun (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** INDONESIA. 7289.960, Dec 25 at 0802, JBA carrier, likely my first capture finally of RRI Nabire, on north coast of New Guinea, which Ron Howard hears just about every night but on 7289.94 as of Dec 23 with both Islamic and Xmas stuff, in any case violating Separation of Mosque/Church and State. Timespan varies widely from somewhat before 0800 until blocked at 0931, but often off much earlier. Now it`s slightly stronger than the Vanuatu 7260 JBA carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** IRAN [non]. 5829.9 approx., Dec 25 at 0203, JBA carrier, no doubt the only station on ``5830`` anywhen per Aoki, Iran International TV audio, clandestine via Tashkent, UZBEKISTAN, in the absence of any WTWW-1, all the way from 1330 to 0530, and always off-frequency-minus not shown by Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NETHERLANDS [non]. 5960, Dec 25 at 0015, The Mighty KBC via Nauen, GERMANY, for the last time. I just tried it at UTwente and heavy mix with E Turkistan CCI. Also caught the very last minute at 0159 direct, S9+20 and no QRM now. Last thing they did was appeal for more sponsors. From Jan 1 to be on WRMI 5950, Sundays at 22-24, time collision with 7490 WBCQ shows Marion`s Attic and Uncle Bill`s Melting Post. UB says he does not mind the competition, not going to move and likes being adjacent to Harry Shearer`s `Le Show` on 7490v from UT Mondays (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7254.934, Dec 25 at 0806, JBA carrier, no doubt VON, first time detected in more than a week on signature off-frequency; nominally from *0555 used to be bigsig here. Should be in English 08-10. So Nigeria is not yet a defunct SWBC country, but trying hard (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6925 USB, Dec 25 at 0157, S7/S9 of Santa Clausish ``ho3, Merry Christmas`` in a loop mixed with a wide variety of SFX, baaas, bleats, other animal and bird noises, farts? or fake farts, over & over & over. 0202 also some uteblaapps add to cacophony. Even worse at 0208 but off at 0230 check. The only pirate activity heard on Xmas eve -- unID by me, but reported by no one on HFU! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** PERU [and non]. 4775, Dec 25 at 0145, JBA carrier vs CODAR swirshes, presumed R. Tarma. Once upon a year, Xmas eve was a fertile time for Latin American DX as stations would stay on late or even temporarily reactivate idle SW transmitters which still worked. Not any more: the only LA signals, little more than carriers on 60m are this and usual: 4885 Brasils, 4940 Colombizuela, 4985 Brasil. Plus Cuba of course on 5025 but not on 4765 or 5040 which ought to be on now. None at all on 3 or 2 MHz bands. Maybe, better luck, NY Eve? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 7265, Dec 25 at 0210, S7/S9 of dead air, broadcast or ham? VOT in Spanish scheduled. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 420 MCW kHz, Dec 25 at 0750 UT, PK, 25-watt ND beacon at Olathe/Herbb KS, on the edge of the persistent local noise span roughly 370-420 peaking circa 395 obscuring any other beacon DX in that range. Olathe is a SW suburb of KC (Glenn Hauser, oK, WOR) ** U S A. 486 AM kHz, Dec 25 at 0231, no signal direct into any of my antennas and receivers from WI2XLQ, commemorative experimental station in Forest VA. But via Maryland SDR, audible S7 with lots of storm crashes, none closer than Bermuda or central Mexico. Frequency offset fluxuates minus 75/78 Hz, = 485.925/922. ``O Holy Night``, from 0626 W & M brief announcements I miss and more violin music. 0643 more announcements, WI2XLQ ID, in honor of Fessenden 1906. Explained here: http://www.arrl.org/arrlletter?issue=2022-12-22 ``On Christmas Eve, 1906, Canadian inventor, experimenter, and entrepreneur Reginald Fessenden claimed to have made his first voice -- and music -- broadcast from Brant Rock, Massachusetts, although his account of the event over the years has been disputed. Nonetheless, Brian Justin, WA1ZMS, of Forest, Virginia, will make his annual program recreation on 486 kHz to commemorate Fessenden's accomplishments. Justin will broadcast for 24 hours beginning at 1800
