** ALGERIA. 891 kHz, Dec 19 at 0705 and still 0717, carrier hetting WLS 890. The RTA transmitter on 891 used to be our best Algerian signal into deep North America, but missing for years. Reports from Spain and elsewhere in Europe had just reported it reactivated first with 1 kHz tone tests, like recently on 576 kHz from another site. WRTH 2020 shows 891 as 600 kW, but half power at 1900-0600. Likewise half-power hours for 576 and 252 kHz; and none of them shown as having been inactive (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2013, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 7470, Dec 19 at 0344 tune-in, anti-Christ pirate, Station YHWH back on his old evening frequency, fair and recognizable, but with a medium SAH, which would be from Deewa Radio, via Lampertheim, Germany, scheduled 0100-0400. No SAH at 0402 check; 0425 recheck, in music, his theme tune, Days of Hard Life? Others call it creepy but I`ve not heard it straight thru; 0427 brief talk and off by 0428*. Had not heard him for a few days in the afternoon on 25mb where first noted reactivated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2013, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 6125, Dec 19 at 0403, no signal from VOT English to W North America, just some residual Cuban pulse jamming despite Radio/TV Martí finishing at 0400. I leave receiver on with BFO until TRT carrier cuts on very late at *0416 over jamming; 0417;40 JIP modulation in song; S9+10/20 including the jamming. 0420 `Turkey Tourism` program about Anatolia. Something`s always wrong at Emirler.
5960, Dec 19 at 2336 check, no signal from VOT`s other broadcast to NAm. Something`s always wrong at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9425, Dec 19 at 2134 & 2150, no signal from SMTV via WRMI unlike the last two days; back on 5800? Not there either -- until 2325 check now 5800 is back on at S9+10 with the SM again promoting Buddhism. There was nothing in HFCC or on WRMI website about 9425, but Mike Terry found an FB post dated Dec 18 that they were experimenting with 9425 until further notice, at 2100-0200. I guess that notice already arrived (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 2013, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
