** AUSTRALIA. 5995, Dec 19 at 1416, RA has VG signal and no spurs this time around 5982 or 6008. At 1435, also on 11660, which is 329 degrees toward Asia, sufficient but much weaker than // 11945 and 9580 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11760 & 13780, Dec 19 at 1357 check, RHC is back in Spanish unlike English on these two frequencies only, 24 hours earlier. Meanwhile, José Elías Díaz Gómez in Venezuela also heard English on the wrong frequency, Dec 18 after 2000 UT, on 15340 instead of Portuguese, when English is supposed to be on 11760 only. On Dec 19 after 2030 check I found 15340 in Arabic as it is supposed to be (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1648, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. Re: ``UNIDENTIFIED. 6955.3-AM, Dec 16 at 2239, a much weaker pirate is here at same time as R. Casablanca on 6939.7; see NORTH AMERICA. Only thing copied here was at 2246 ``My Favorite Things`` maybe Sinatra; off by 2259 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)``
DXLD yg member Gilles Letourneau was listening at the same time Dec 16 and IDed it: ``another pirate with fair signal in Montreal, WMPR on 6955 kHz AM mode, 2235 UT with Xmas music`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOMALILAND. 7120, Dec 19 at 1358, R. Hargeisa playing anthem with fanfare, drumming, poor signal, CW QRhaM, and off by 1400* -- same as heard a minute or two later on previous dates (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 1350, Dec 19 at 1402 UT, CBS News, but only one minute, 1403 optional cutaway employed by KMAN Manhattan KS which just can`t wait to get on with local news; briefly atop channel (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 1480, Dec 19 at 1405 UT, paranoid preacher on Tru News show who claims we aren`t getting the real story from mainstream media and things are much worse than they seem. Again mentions at 1410 expanding audience as now covering N Texas and as far as Stillwater OK on 1480 --- this is KBXD Dallas --- and also on four SW frequencies. I estimate the SAH as about 7 Hz, and on the low side compared to BFO pitches of neighboring frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9420v, Dec 19 at 0617, the banshee blob is crossing Greece going upward, and at 0619 is crossing 9480, VOA French via SÃO TOMÉ. I only hear this in the 9.3-9.5 MHz range, but am now less than positive that it is not something local. So is anyone else hearing it around this time or elsewhen?
