** CANADA. 300 kHz, Dec 8 at 0727 UT, dash and YIV, 500 watt ND beacon from Island Lake, Manitoba; logged once before on Sept 16, when I described its location.
340 kHz, Dec 8 at 0729 UT, dash and YY, 500 watt ND beacon from Mont Joli, Quebec. I was tuned to 341 where it mixed with local EI, and first thought it could be an attempt by YYU Kapuskasing to come back from the dead. Mont-Joli is on the Gaspé coast, just NE of Rimouski, 2761 km from here = 1715 stmi.
352 kHz, Dec 8 at 0732, dash and YKQ, 500 watt NDB from Fort Rupert-Waskaganish, Quebec. It`s a remote Cree community on James Bay, but only 2250 km from here = 1403 stmi, atcf (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 5050, Dec 7 at 2314, Chinese talk, VP vs splash from 5040 RHC --- Commies vs Commies! Aoki/NDXC shows: ``5050 2300-0102 CHN Voice of Beibu Bay Radio Chi Nanning 954 1-7`` Their only morning broadcast; have several others in Thai, Vietnamese, Cantonese, Mandarin. HFCC shows 100 kW at 232 degrees. WWRB is OFF 5050 for the B-season (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 6105, Dec 8 at 1355, Firedrake jamming atop a weaker station, i.e. RTI. Besides showing RTI *jammed, separate entries for CNR1 Jamming from Qiqihar 202 site, probably but not necessarily same when employing Firedrake audio. BTW, don`t you believe! that XEQM Mexico still exist on 6105 as in Aoki/NDXC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 7470, Dec 7 at 2325, Chinese with echo, i.e. CNR1 jammers against RFA Tibetan via Tajikistan at 2200-2400. This used to be the YHWH pirate frequency around 0300-0530 as in Aoki, but quit several weeks ago. Worth further checking, as Rick Barton, AZ, just reported YHWH again! on 11650 at 2000-2010* Dec 7; me too Dec 8 at 1900, q.v. (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 13767 approx., Dec 8 at 1416, weak spurblob from RHC 13700, and even weaker JBA match circa 13633. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN. 9680, Dec 8 at 1445, Japanese alone on frequency. Aoki shows NHK not starting until 1455, but HFCC shows 1400-, due west (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 6145, Dec 8 at 1357, Korean talk and piano music from Shiokaze via JAPAN; good and clear here, no jamming audible; the latest frequency change reported by Ron Howard. The other one listed by Aoki at 1300-1400, 7245 not checked (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6970-USB, Dec 7 at 2201, `Hearts of Space` type soft music, S7-S8, off by 2215, unID pirate, and strangely enough, zero reports of it on HF Underground (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6930-USB, Dec 7 at 2202, FDR speech about Japan`s attax on several Pacific islands, S8-S9 with background noise apparently from crowd on original recording. 2206 the famous part about Pearl Harbor; and then ``Remember Pearl Harbor`` song; 2210 another song, ``Mister Jap``; 2213 song ``I`m Off to Yokohama``; 2216 repeat the FDR ``infamy`` speech; 2224 ID as ``W-F-D-R, New York --- Good Night`` as if closing down. But soon another? weaker station on same frequency. Many more logs here: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,61017.0.html By 2300, WFDR resumed, on 6940-USB: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,61023.0.html WFDR pirate broadcasts are an annual tradition on Dec 7 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6930-USB, Dec 7 at 2225, weak music shortly after WFDR closed; 2232 maybe announcement, unreadable; 2310 still on with some whoops and chimes. Other reports say WENO, Voice of Brian Eno: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,61020.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 11650, Dec 8 at 1900, here`s the reactivated YHWH guy, anti-Christ Josiah with usual earnest evangelism, poor S7. Tnx to tip yesterday until 2010* by Rick Barton, AZ. Also check 40m evenings, formerly in 03/05v span on 7470 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 341 kHz, Dec 8 at 0729 UT, Enid ND beacon EI is on again in the nightmiddle, vs 340 YY in Quebec, see CANADA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SCOTLAND [non]. 6115, UT Sun Dec 8 at 0100, WWCR-1 opening `Encore` classical music hour, VG except for usual squeal on the #1 transmitter. Playlist on website is still from last week ``1/12``. Brice Avery says from next week, this moves to 9350 at 2100-2200 Saturdays, i.e. WWCR-2 without the squeal. 9350 has a super signal here and there is much less conflict with other programming at that time; and could also reach awake Europeans, altho nominally 85 degrees toward Africa. That hour has been for Brother HyStairical, only on Saturdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 7490+, Dec 7 at 2200, Brother Scare interrupted for WBCQ ID, then dead air instead of resuming. Scheduled until 2300 on Saturdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 774, Dec 7 at 0708, starting TA carrier search here to find this one strong enough for some audio, RNE1 synchros (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2011 monitoring: confirmed UT Sunday December 8 starting at 0423 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, VG but with some CW QRM from hams too close during huge 160m contest up to 1887 kHz. Next:

** U S A. 7780, Dec 8 at 1412, SMTV VP // 15770 WRMI; a rare instance of two SMTV frequencies at once, 7780 only Sundays at 14-15 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5085, Sat Dec 7 at 2313, WTWW-2 already on with ham talk about 160m; S9+40 but overmodulated/distorted as it would be for hours! By 0106 UT Sunday Dec 8 I notice that `Theater Organ in the Ozarx` is underway as sometimes happens around this time, Xmasmx awful with the distortion; also emitting intermittent huge noise bursts ranging 5050-5110. At first I suspected some new Xmas lights in the neighborhood, until found this confined to the 5085 area! 0402 recheck, still distorted with rock music. Doesn`t Ted know nor any of his listeners tell him about this? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 3185, UT Sun Dec 8 at 0410, gospel huxtress S9 but undermodulated; not // TOMBS frequencies. So WWRB now using 3185 instead of 3195 when on after 0200, UT Sun and maybe Mon (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 5010-, Dec 7 at 2316, WRMI in Spanish vs a LAH = low audible heterodyne from the minus side. Brings to mind Madagascar offset, but not supposed to be on between 1500 and 0200 as per Aoki/NDXC. Don`t you believe! that Honduras or Dominican Republic exist on 5010 as shown there; they`ve been gone for years. OTOH, India is NOT listed, but has been reported sometimes; not aware of it being frequency-low. VU2JOS shows latest AIR info: ``5010 50 Thiruvananthapuram Kerala Malayalam S=zone 0020-0205 1130-1745 (Irregular)`` and 2316 should also be too early for it; unless something special is going on there or in Madagascar. The two Bauta, Cuba transmitters on 5040 & 5025 could also leapfrog to 5010, but at least one of them would have to be off-frequency slightly, which does not seem to be the case now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Dec 8 from 0709, after hearing audio from 774 Spain synchros: 531, 549, 558, 567(2), 576, 585, 612, 621, 684, 693, 747, 765, 774(2), 837, 846(TP), 882, 909, 936, 999, 1089, 1107(2), 1116, 1125(2), 1134, 1152, 1179, 1215, 1413 kHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search, Dec 8 at 1330-1339 UT just at sunrise here, on the R75 with E-W LW, so no DFing but probably E Asian more than DU: 558, 594, 612, 621, 657, 693, 702, 738, 747, 756, 774, 828, 873, 972, 1017, 1035, 1044, 1053, 1098, 1206, 1566, 1575 kHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6919.9-AM, Dec 7 at 2311, open carrier and off instead of developing into a pirate (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
