** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI still just a smidgin below 9526, not missing this Sunday, Dec 27 at 1426, but very undermodulated, presumed Malay (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SWEDEN. 9400, George Wood opening R. Sweden in English, Dec 27 at 1430, with a retrospective of the Indian Ocean tsunami, which was five years ago already, and Sweden`s involvement with relief; fair with echo, 85 degrees from Hörby; better signal from same site was R.

** U S A. 15550-USB, not hearing WJHR around 1500 UT, either not on yet or not propagating yet, but Dec 26 at 1747 check it was in well enough with F&B preacher, 1802 same ID recording as originally heard Dec 8, which always seems to be two minutes late. Also Dec 27 with F&B at 1735 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15825, WWCR with good signal for a change, Dec 27 at 1735, indicating some sporadic E has appeared. The winter Es season on VHF TV/FM has been pretty much absent, but this could be a good sign. The VHF DX map http://www.vhfdx.net/spots/map.php?Lan=E&Frec=50&Map=NA&mycall=&myloc=&freq=&prop= showed there had been a handful of 6-meter contacts in the NE quadrant of the USA, and a few more on 10m, but the current MUF was 39 MHz. No sign of axion yet on channel 2 as of 1800 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 10500, open carrier at 1425-1434* Dec 27, probably a utility (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 17650, at 1440-1458* Dec 27, 1 kHz tone test. VOA São Tomé is scheduled during this hour only in English, so lost feed from Washington? However, there was a SAH from a weaker signal underneath so that was more likely VOA, usually weak here anyway; the TT something else (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
