** BRAZIL. 11780, Dec 11 at 0753, no signal for RNA token English;
6180 is VP with music. Paul Walker, McGrath AK, says: ``Even though
most won't notice, 11780 Brazil is still operating at half power of 50
KW; they got new tube but they were no good so the old one back in
operation right now. They've been operating this way for a month. I`m
not a math guy, but someone told me its only 3db difference between
100 and 50 kW. I've noticed almost no difference up here`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2325)

** CUBA [and non]. 1040 kHz, Dec 11 at 0736 UT, whooper audible under
WHO. Quite some time since I`ve heard that anywhere (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Dec 11 at 1550, windhowl only at S9+5; 15230 JBA
Spanish S4/S5; 11760 S5/S6 JBA or dead air. Something`s always wrong
at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Dec 11 at 1953, S6/S8 of deadair without windhowl from
RHC direct. No other frequencies even on the air, making it even
easier not to broadcast English at 2000. 11760 still DA at 2001 into
Georgia SR, S9+15/22. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2325)

** NEW ZEALAND. 13755, Dec 11 at 0723, RNZP Melanesian, starting
Vanuatu news sponsored by a bank there: so is this officially a
commercial station? Only S4/S5. Used to inboom unlike anything else on
band, but not lately. This does not exactly match program sked for
this particular day, in UT +13:

``8:08 PM. Pacific Waves
A daily current affairs programme covering the major Pacific stories
of the week, with background and reaction from the people making the

9:00 PM. The Wantok Program
30 minutes of news and current affairs from ABC Australia from Monday
to Friday in Papua New Guinea Tok Pisin, Solomon Islands Pijin and
Vanuatu Bislama pidgin languages.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 9025 AM, Dec 11 at 1554, FDR speech clips, narrative
about WWII, music bits, from a documentary, S8/S9 direct but audio
breakups. 1557 refers to his report about Yalta conference on March 1,
1945. 1559 mentions April 12, 1945 - the day FDR died and someone was
born, but then off the air before 1600. Searching frequency at HFU
gets several pirate hits in past few years: other presidential audio,
from JFK, Coolidge:

2003, S9+33 into Georgia SDR. Program sked shows starting at 1900 UT,

** CHINA. 9900, Dec 10 at 2322, Chinese S9+30/40 with extreme flutter
both up and down in strength and sideways/Doppler in frequency, CNR1
jammer. Same sound soon on 11750 but not a jammer per Aoki. K index at
0000 is six and a third, as WWV reports:

** CHINA. 21550, Dec 10 at 2318, Chinese JBA S4/S7 and the OSOB except
for JBA carrier slightly below 21750 which could be a local birdie.
EiBi shows Sound of Hope at 2130-1500 on 21550, but not a CNR1 jammer
which this surely be. Aoki shows both between 0000 and 1500 (Glenn

** CUBA. 5025, Dec 9 at 2320, S9+20/30 of dead air in Spanish from R.
Rebelde. SAWA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11760, Dec 9 at 2302, S9+20/30 of windhowl only, 11880 with
S9+20 of clear dead air; something`s always wrong at RHC. No 13 or 15
MHz frequencies on. 11760 *still* windhowling at 0713 UT Dec 10, S9+5
direct, and the OSOB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13650, Dec 9 at 2300, RIC s/on in Portuguese, music. So
yesterday`s CRI English relay indeed an anomaly. Not on the air before
2300 either. Also music Dec 10 at 2302 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 11860, Dec 9 at 2303, R. Martí with news on the hour?
Of course not! Discussing stupid ballgames as its primary format, Los
Dodgers de Los Ángeles. Hmm, is there any way to say Dodgers in
Spanish? ``Los que evitan?``. Google translate insists the Spanish
word is also dodgers. They have a hard time pronouncing the -dg- like
we do (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 5980, Dec 10 at 1340, no signal from R. Martí. At 1350
I do find it active on 7435 and 11930 with bigsigs, open carrier on
13570. Not on 9805 either; 6030 something JBA surely else. I am
unfortunately awake from 1330 tnx to a noisy roofing crew across the
street tearing off shingles. I am checking this as result of NASWA
Flashsheet item, to which I already replied in the WOR iog, viz.:

``5980. PERU Radio Chaski, 1357, 12/1. Man speaking carefully and
deliberately. Faded in and out. (Coomler, AZ) == Bob Coomler, Tucson,
AZ. Equipment: Perseus SDR, Wellbrook ALA1530LN loop``

gh: I don`t recall ever seeing this reported in recent years. WRTH
2025 p 347 does list it as OBX4M, 1 kW at 11-02; not in EiBi, but Aoki
does show it:
5980 1000-1500 PRU Radio Chaski Spa Urubamba, C 1-7
5980 2200-0103 PRU Radio Chaski Spa Urubamba, C 1-7 [daily from
Cusco]

Neither Aoki nor EiBi has anything else on 5980 on air at this time,
but that`s 9 am in Perú, a bit late for low-power prop ~3h after LSR.
And not to be confused with Bolivia`s R Mosoj Chaski on 3310. I would
want more definite log info to assume this! {He does not even specify
a language.} If active during those hours, someone should more easily
DX it over all-night path. BTW, chaski means receiver in Quechua.
Shouldn`t it mean transmitter?

BTW2, WWCR makes a leapfrog mixing product on 5980, but only when 5890
& 5935 are both on, certainly not at this time, but has fooled some
DXers as something more exotic.

[Later:] Aha, 5980 is also in HFCC for R Marti at 1100-1400; may or
may not be active or reliable currently from Greenville. Need to check
it!`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN. 28555 USB, Dec 9 at 2317, JG1OUT Tokyo making a contact; his
regular frequency and the highest OUTlier normally heard on 10m USB
phone. See Oct 14 & 28, 2025 logs; Nov 19, 2024 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** KOREA SOUTH. 28490 USB, Dec 9 at 2316, Song, HL5FEE, contacting
N5MP, Mike in Dallas who is JBA; reconfirming my hearance of him 24
hours ago on 28487, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 15400 AM, Dec 10 at 2310, S9 with JBM thintonations
of Josiah, anti-Christ pirate, Station YHWH again here as heard Dec 5
at 2319 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 5140 USB, Wed Dec 10 at 1509, I remember to
check for the emergency operations net starting at 1500. YL NCS is
wrapping up the *Missouri* EOC, ``till next week``; call WNBE830;
other calls mentioned and maybe heard, WNBE700. And at 1513, WPFY721
has VG signal, mentioning Beckham county - which is in OK, and Moore,
city near OKC. Same calls in previous report a week ago, locations:
WNBE830 Jefferson City MO; WPFY721 Seminole OK; WNBE700 might have
been WNPV700 in Durant OK (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. 93.1 & 95.1, Dec 10 circa 2100 UT, dead air in $ tereo
both Part 15?/pirate transmitters in Enid, both attain full quieting
downtown. 93.1 has occasionally been heard with some music, and 95.1
went with the `Tree of Lights`; how about some Xmasmx if leaving it on
anyway? I`ve yet to visit two or three other locations in Enid which
usually have Xmas light-and-FM-sound shows. 1680 kHz, Virtual DJ
Radio, ops normal circa 2130 Dec 10 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 12030, UT Tue Dec 9 at 2305, REE in French, as Jean-Michel
Aubier was anticipating. This is also reduced to one hour a week but
had been missing a while. Announcer speaks with a heavy accent, I
guess Castilian, making French sound rough rather than smooth. REE
advance program sked agrees on French now and ENGLISH tomorrow, UT
Wednesday. They still don`t introduce us to the new spEEkers. 12030 is
the only usable frequency despite beamed away toward ME, as NAm
channel 9690 remains imaginary. Alan Roe did hear English online Wed
Dec 10 at 1100 UT, and the new announcers are named Daniel Riobóo, and
Alba Cuéllar.

12030, Wed Dec 9 at 2300, REE timesignal and immediately into English,
S9 fading to S5 direct, making copy tough. 17715 & 17755 are but JBA
carriers while 9690 to NAm is still imaginary. Daniel sounds like a
male, altho a photo caption implied female. Will listen later to
podcast. Some discussion of this today in the WOR iog:

Bill Tilford: ``Online only at this hour, but REE is on in English
again as I type (11:07 UTC) Escucha RNE Radio Exterior en DIRECTO
🎧``

``I'm also checking REE online at 1100 UT, with two new hosts: Daniel
Riobóo and a lady whose name I cannot fully catch - something like
Helva Queyar. English on shortwave scheduled at 2300 UT. Ah - her name
is Alba Cuéllar - as established by the live stream thumbnail. I
assume that's her in the image alongside Marilyn Quintana. I did enjoy
the English hour online this morning, and hopefully listeners can
catch it on shortwave later today at 2300 UT.

I have however commented to Daniel and Alba concerning the
presentation style. There was too much background music heard,
especially during the interviews, which became a little intrusive and
I think that when heard on shortwave it could become a problem for
listeners to fully understand. I have pointed out that shortwave
reception, even on good days, is usually not the clearest with noise
and fading, so it is preferable to not have background music during
the interview segments and that perhaps it would be better just to
fade in snippets of the music between natural pauses in the
conversation. Alan Roe, Teddington, UK``

``That’s a valid critique, Alan. I find that often the background
music is too loud, and a peeve with NPR news programs is that the
music fades up too soon, as if we always needed a reminder that the
report or interview is about to end. And of course on shortwave it
makes hearing and understanding even harder.

Nevertheless, I'm glad the English broadcast is back. I like to use
some of the news in my radio magazine “EuroBureau” on our local
community FM radio station, kmud.org.

I’m not well set up for shortwave listening anymore, I find RNE
English at https://www.rtve.es/play/audios/english-language-broadcast/

UNIDENTIFIED. 15391.1 USB, Dec 10 at 2303, bandscan hits S9 intruder,

un día más que yo``; 2307 someone yells in background; whistling.

** BRAZIL. 11780, Dec 9 at 0151, token English from RNA I haven`t
checked lately; is UT Tue-Sat only except when elbowed by stupid
ballgames. S8/9+10 into nearby `Brasila` SDR. But hardly local
line-of-sight quality, rather fluttery: maybe skywave backscatter QRM?
I didn`t realize exactly when it started as switched from PP to
PP-accented English. Voice-over translation of a musician talking
about being a drummer and then banjo player, in Pará. Lose the
voice-under! We don`t need any more QRM. 0154 English outro as
International Service, switch to Spanish by different announcer who
has a heavy Brazilian accent but trying to speak Castilian, saying
``os``. Also on // 6180 but with QRhuM. {correcting date in previous
report; NOT Dec 8}. And same thing heard again at 0751 Dec 9, S3/S4
direct on 11780 while 6180 is a JBA carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. More to my report of CRI English instead of non-Portuguese
music fill on 13650 at 2300 Dec 8: evidently an anomaly:

``13650 CUBA (Quivican) China Radio Intl. at 2325, in progress at
tune-in. Man in what sounded like English news, but, (drat-!), we were
mobile and in a high static area at the time. The usual Chinese canned
"elevator music" music started up right on the half hour mark (2330
UT), and went to 2358, when man in Portuguese came on with station's
ID and sked info. Off right on midnight UT. The static was worst at
the most crucial time, when we heard English words leaking through.
Good rx at the end for the announcer in (clearly) Portuguese (to
Brazil). Heard mobile with RS DX-402 and NewTronics "Hustler"
IC-100S-B roof-mount antenna. --- Fair to Good (at end) 12/8 (Rick
Barton, Sun City AZ)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025, Dec 9 at 0755, S9+15 of dead air in Spanish from R.
Rebelde. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. But on 670, Dec 3 at
0727 UT, ``Aquí en Rebelde`` briefly overcame WSCR (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 9710, Dec 9 at 0758, S5/S6 of dead air in Spanish or English,
no doubt RHC overtime (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Dec 9 at 1555, RHC Spanish, S9+15/25 with windhowl,
and 15230 S9 of dead air. Something`s always wrong at RHC. At 2020 I
look at the waterfall into Athens GA SDR: again, very interesting
symmetrical pattern of diagonal lines; and then a separate line
wandering between 15180 and 15210. At first I thought it might be R.
Inconfidência, Brasil, which is always off-frequency about 15189.8 but
doesn`t vary much. Then I see a matching wandering line below RHC from
15070 and up. By 2025 they are not equal sides from center 15140 but
still match wandering, circa 15060 and 15160 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PUERTO RICO. 391 MCW kHz, Dec 8 at 0722 UT, DDP, NDB at Dorado
airport. It`s usually audible now, not always relogged, for the
record. I would love to log other Caribbean NDBs if any exist (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 397 MCW kHz, Dec 8 at 0723, JE, NDB at `Algoa`, JeffErson
City MO. Last logged for sure Oct 6, 2020, but had a carrier Nov 29,
2025 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2324 monitoring: ``9455 UNITED
STATES (FL) WRMI at 2330. Glenn Hauser with this week's World of Radio
(#2324). Strong and steady signal, heard with RS DX-402, IC-100S-B
mobile antenna. Short music bridge and then open of Jeff White
"Wavescan" at midnight UT. NOTE: Recheck at midnight thirty UT
(12/8), had World of Radio reprised, which helped me catch what I
missed earlier (splitting my time with MW DXing). Much stronger signal
here, still with mobile setup. --- Good 12/7 [Sunday-Monday] (Rick
Barton, Sun City AZ)``

Confirmed UT Tuesday December 9 at 0335 the 0330 on WRMI 7780, poor

Also confirmed Tuesday December 9 at 1400 on WRMI 9955, S8/S9 direct.

** AUSTRALIA. 28567 USB, Dec 8 at 2321, Oz accent, VK4DJP or DJT? Only
the latter in QRZ.com: ``VK4DJT Australia flag Australia, Dylan J
Thiedeke, Neumann Drive, Collingwood Park, QL 4301, Australia`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 11780, Dec 8 at 0151, token English from RNA I haven`t
checked lately; is UT Tue-Sat only except when elbowed by stupid
ballgames. S8/9+10 into nearby `Brasila` SDR. But hardly local
line-or-sight quality, rather fluttery: maybe skywave backscatter QRM?
I didn`t realize exactly when it started as switched from PP to
PP-accented English. Voice-over translation of a musician talking
about being a drummer and then banjo player, in Pará. Lose the
voice-under! We don`t need any more QRM. 0154 English outro as
International Service, switch to Spanish by different announcer who
has a heavy Brazilian accent but trying to speak Castilian, saying
``os``. Also on // 6180 but with QRhuM (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** BRAZIL. 25985-LSB, Dec 8 at 2257, 2-way in Brasuguese, holiday
wishes, with beeps. Something similar on 25955-LSB. Are these
``official`` CB channels in Brasil? Yes, below 26 MHz, not above
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 6230 AM, Dec 8 at 2309, S9 algo in Chinese? Per Aoki this is
24h frequency of CNR1 *jamming and Sound of Hope = Xi Wang Zhi Sheng,
Miaoli, Taiwan. Many other FE signals on this and higher bands at
grayline (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13650, Dec 8 at 2304, news in ENGLISH! from S9+10/20 CRI/CGTN
relay for the first time instead of pointless non-Portuguese music
fill for years & years. Remains to be heard whether deliberate or
mistake. Wolfgang Buschel says before 2300, 13650 had also changed to
RHC Spanish. At 2305 into `World Insight`. Meanwhile 5990 CRI relay
was missing, but at 2308 S9+20 of deadair on 6000 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** JAPAN. 13705, Dec 8 at 2306, jaunty orchestral music S9/+10, what`s
this? Prélude; at 2310 `Sakura` and NHKWRJ opening scheduled Thai; to
be followed by Vietnamese at 2330 and Burmese an hour later (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA SOUTH. 28487 USB, Dec 8 at 2317, HL5FEE, spelt name SONG,
contacting a Mike. Unsure of first letter after the number but
followed by echo. Search of QRZ.com on call HL5FE gets nowhere, but
searching on handle and then callsigns in order, this one most likely:
``HL5FEE Youngdo "SONG" Song Daegu`` --> ``HL5FEE South Korea flag
South Korea, Youngdo "SONG" Song, 101-1905, Kolon Hanulche, Chimsanro
22-gil 31, Buggu, Daegu 41584, South Korea`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** POLAND [non]. 15770, Dec 8 at 2310, Polish R External Service, via
WRN on WRMI, S9+10/20. Recommended for well-done news of eastern
Europe near Ukraine; much better reception direct than simulEnglish
from Turkey, Spain if ever resumes weekly (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960.002+, Dec 8 at 2259, VOT English ID and IS, S9 direct
but = noise level. At 2355 into UTwente when measured, S9+25 IS until
2356* uncovering Chinese, failing to provide any extraneous German
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2324 monitoring: Also confirmed

** U S A. 9455, Mon Dec 8 at 2312, WRMI S9+30 with something in
Spanish, not Brazuguese. Aoki and WRMI System D grid show RAE PP on
Mon/Tue/Thu/Fri, otherdays WRMI shows in English. This is where I
heard RAE DX program in Portuguese on Tue Nov 25 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
