** AUSTRALIA. 11945, Wed Dec 31 at 0631, RA `Religion and Ethics Report` visits Buenos Aires (and yet host Andrew West hasn`t learnt how to pronounce Aires), interviews thru interpreter about religion there from the source of a pope; fair but sufficient signal as customary here, tho it`s on 100-degree azimuth, better for S America than N. 13630, often VG, is now inaudible above the MUF if on. HFCC shows 11945 also at 12-15 on 70 degree beam toward N America, when we never hear it: that must be wooden.

As for this R&E program, RA online schedule shows `Radio Australia Wantok` in Pidgin during this semi-hour! But it`s only on certain frequencies, not this one, duh. It does show R&E Wednesdays at 2130:http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/religionandethicsreport/
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** JAPAN. 9595, Dec 31 at 1457, there`s no NHK to be heard, as their New Year`s celebration has long since vanished from SW, so I settle on R. Nikkei where it`s almost local 2015y. Fair signal with pop music, 1459 ID ``kochirawa Radio Nikkei desu`` and sign-off citing JOZ- calls, 1500 dead air, no observance of the New Year whatsoever. Did hear a timesignal but probably bleeding from China on 9605.

BTW, there was a publicized NYE monitoring suggestion including midnight in eastern Australia at 1100 UT --- wrong, it was 1300 UT in NSW and Vic, 1400 UT in Qsld, but 1100 UT in NZ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SEYCHELLES [non]. 11900, Dec 31 at 1443, Urdu program closing with Pakistani addresses, 1444 BaBcoCk IS and off 1445*. Surprisingly good signal considering it`s FEBC via UAE, 250 kW aimed 60 degrees at 1400-1445 daily per HFCC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SUDAN [and non]. 15550, Dec 31 at 1524, R. Tamazuj with VG signal, trace of WJHR, and no tone jamming yet from Sudan.

Then I discover Arabish talk in // on also VG 15400, and synchronized! ID at 1526 pronounced ``Tamázuk``. At 1527, they are no longer synch, in fact not //, one with YL, other with OM. One has changed site and/or feed. And 15400 cuts off at 1528:23*.

15550 signs-off R. Tamazuj but scheduled R. Dabanga does NOT follow at 1530, instead dead air, audiblizing WJHR screamer. Still DA at 1531 when Sudanese tone jammer cuts on. Still the same situation at 1534. Next check at 1547, still no Dabanga, but WJHR is much stronger, in fact too strong for the carrier to be sufficient BFO, and slightly off-frequency, off-pitching the gospel huxter. Tone jammer still there. It seems Sudan was not so concerned about jamming R. Tamazuj, but will jam R. Dabanga even in its absence; why?

13800, finally at 1549 I check the other R. Dabanga frequency, and here it is funxional in Arabish with typical stingers, fair with flutter.

Per HFCC, 15550 is supposed to be Vatican relay at 1500-1630 --- FAIL! SMG staff celebrating NYE and not paying attention to feed inputs?

15400 is also Vatican, cryptically in Apd language per HFCC, a PNW service only at 1500-1530. I.e. non-cryptically in Aoki: R. Tamazuj in Sudanese Arabic at 1459-1527 (in neither case also for R. Dabanga afterwards, normally paired with Tamazuj.)

13800 is in HFCC as PNW via MADAGASCAR at 1500-1600, switching to VATICAN at 1600-1630 (apparently in the middle of the Dabanga hour, why?) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1753 monitoring: confirmed on Global 24 webcast, UT Wednesday Dec 31 at 0401, following `Wavescan` and preceding `Media Network Plus`. But when I check WRMI 9395 at 0410, it`s inaudible! While 9955 is JBA. If G24 had been on the 7 MHz band it would have been OK like other WRMI services on 7455, 7570. Propagation certainly depressed, as 11825 was also JBA; yet Cuba sufficient on 9710 and 9790, Martí Greenville VG on 7405.

WOR 1753 also confirmed Wednesday Dec 31 at 1415 on WRMI 9955, good and not jammed. Next:

Wed 2200 on WBCQ 7490v
Wed 2201 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395
We hope to have 1754 ready for first broadcast on WRMI, UT Thu 0430 on 9955; otherwise another play of 1753 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 7490v, Tue Dec 30 at 2234, WBCQ with a playback of last Saturday`s live `Allan Weiner Worldwide`, same I was hearing before, as he is on phone with a Bill Smith in federal prison, a technician who really needs to be on the outside ASAP.

Fair signal and clear until *2258:10 hit by huge het from BBC Thailand with Bow Bells --- a monumental failure of frequency coördination. BBC is on 25 degree beam for E Asia, which carries right on across North America, but FCC and BBC apparently can`t believe a station on the far side of the world could possibly QRM a North American station in North America, and close to its own 245 degree azimuth toward Nuevo Laredo, no less. WBCQ signal had improved during the session; sunset in Monticello was already circa 2050 UT.

The het is WBCQ`s fault for always being off-frequency (no attempt to measure it now). The two signals are about equal level making both useless here. Fortunately, BBC English is scheduled for only one hour, and this ruins the M-F WBCQ show `Money Talk`, on Sundays `WGOD Presents` and on Saturdays the first hour of `Pirate Pizza Night`. Maybe that`s why `Money Talk` is simulcast on 9330-CUSB, otherwise little-used. As for the `AWWW` playbacks, the originals almost always run more than one hour, so I guess the playbacks in one-hour slots get chopped if not edited down.

Larry Will tells us ``We'll be doing a live New Year's Eve special tonight on WBCQ 5110 from 8 to midnight US eastern time (0100 to 0500 UT January 1) and webcast on http://www.splatterbox.us:5110
Requests and listener reports always welcome at radio@zappahead.net
Regards, Larry Will``

Another WBCQ program worth checking out is `The Next Chapter`, UT Thursdays 0000-0100 on 7490v. Lots of thought-provoking discussion about where the world is going; and the host has the objective of establishing a ``Radio Alexandria`` ship in the mid-Pacific. It`s been going for a year now; transcripts and audio archive at http://radioalexandria.net/
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17775, Dec 31 at 1521, no signal from KVOH, taking another holiday break? Wait, there is a JBA carrier so maybe it`s on, but just not propagating or QRP. Rechecked at 1558: now it`s inbooming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15825, Dec 31 at 1523, gospel huxter talking with big echo from WWCR, so long/short path again. Per NGS globe, the 39-megameter long path traverses: just off West Africa, Botswana, Indian Ocean, Perth, Cairns, Tarawa, Honolulu, Santa Bárbara. This transmitter is registered on a 46 degree azimuth; it should be even better by LP if it were taking off closer to 90 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also WEWN

** U S A. 15610, Dec 31 at 1524, WEWN with big echo, long path of 39 Megameters vs short path of one; sounds like could be M. Angélica herself. NGS globe shows this LP route: St. Peter & St. Paul Rocks in the Atlantic, RSA, Carnarvon, PNG, Lisianski Island (a little-known Hawaiian atoll on the way to Midway), Sacramento. This one starts out on a 40-degree azimuth which is hardly ideal for LP to here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also WWCR

** U S A. 92.3 WFM, Dec 29 sometime in the afternoon as I am driving up US 81/60/64 on the north side of Enid, down the overpass attenuating slightly 92.5 KOMA OKC from the south, but still with ACI from 92.1 KAMG-LP Enid, I am getting bits of a signal from 92.3 Norton KS, ex-KFTI, enough to hear a YL mention that a new format begins January 1 here on FM-92. (Such reception under dead conditions is about the best we can do without a little help from the troposphere.) That leads me to search out recent press about this change of ownership, also covered previously in DXLD (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

ENVISION PUTTING ITS STAMP ON WICHITA'S 92.3 FM

(via Glenn Hauser, DXLD)

UNIDENTIFIED. 15649.5-SSB, Dec 31 at 1535, 2-way in colloquial Spanish, long informal QSO but hardly a `puta` mentioned, heard only once in next dekaminute! I can`t really understand them, but do copy a keyword ``pescado``, implying that these are fishing poachers (in Spanish, pescado means a fish once it is caught, i.e. ``fished``, while a mere fish in the wild is a pez; yet there is no equivalence for land creatures such as ``cazados`` or ``cas``. And non-Castilians must be careful not to confuse cazar = hunt with casar = marry, altho there is a certain correspondence). Also frequent whistling, once talking during an obvious yawn. Stronger one has engine noise in background. ERTOPen must be off 15650, as no het from there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report dispatched at 1846 UT December 31; HNY!

Glenn Hauser logs December 28-29-30, 2014

** ANGUILLA. 11775, Dec 30 at 1448 UT, Caribbean Beacon is AWOL again. BTW, note spelling, NOT ``Carribean`` as often shows up (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** AUSTRALIA. 17840, Dec 29 at 2115, R. Australia, in English, in fact the OSOB at this hour! But only fair signal at best. No longer using 17860 at all, nor 21740, which last B-season was remarkably good. 17840 like 21740 at 21-01 UT is on the 70-degree beam from Shepparton, most favorable for us in deep North America. At 23-01 we can still try // 19000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** COLOMBIA. 5910, Dec 30 at 0631, romantic music, automated timecheck for 1:31, fair signal; 0633 next break with ID ONLY as ``La Voz de tu Conciencia``, not Alcaraván Radio. Perhaps this applies only to the daypart I usually monitor. I still see some other logs of Alcaraván Radio, but I believe only those which put the name in quotation marx. And whatever became of another ex-ID here, Marfil Estéreo? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDONESIA [non]. PK-AXC is the registration/wing number/callsign of the particular aircraft funxioning as Air Asia Flight QZ 8501, crashed into the sea, as a little Google research shows. So please refer to the unique aircraft, not the flight number when referring to this disaster!

It you must refer to it by flight number, you must also include the date which was Dec 28. Otherwise there was another flight 8501 on Dec 29 which made the journey successfully, its callsign being PK-AXU, and surely many more to come by two or three other craft, etc., etc. See http://www.flightradar24.com/flight/qz8501
Will anyone pay attention to me this time? Of course not
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 630, Dec 30 at 1306, weather in Spanish from ``Radar 63`` including SR/SS times, then traffic, starting with the highway Monterrey-Laredo, so certainly XEFB Monterrey NL. Only poor signal, but strangely, hardly any QRM from US 630s; where are St Louis and Denver? Radar 63 is the name of the newscast on XEFB, not its total slogan. One can find it twice deep within the packed Facebook page at https://es-es.facebook.com/630radio
``El noticiero radiofónico con más tradición del Norte de México`` on ``FB 630``. Or more directly at http://fb630.com/ which shows Radar 63 M-F at 6-8 am, 2-3 & 6-7 pm [12-14, 20-21, Tue-Sat 00-01 UT].

Besides news, seems main format is Deportes with FB now standing for Fútbol, and in three different versions: Mexican, American, even Premier League!

However, Facebook has a link for those who are Sick of Football:https://www.facebook.com/630radio/photos/pb.511315685570203.-2207520000.1419963232./788978541137248/?type=1&theater
`Mas Allá de las Pelotas` featuring a leggy woman at 3-4 pm weekdays, which however, is not on the current website schedule.

After 20 local on weekdays, `Los Bellos Tiempos` which could be about anything, but at 21-06 CST overnights [03-12 UT], `Sólo Éxitos, 70s, 80s, 90s`, surely meaning hit music instead (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 940-, Dec 29 at 0606, low audible heterodyne from slightly on the lo side, ID as ``XEQ Radio`` from México DF. Sometimes it`s off frequency, sometimes not, perhaps due to two separate transmitters alternating (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SUDAN [non]. 15550, Dec 29 at 1543, continuous tone jamming mixing with R. Dabanga and USB WJHR, so the Sudanese do not find CCI from WJHR alone to be sufficient jamming over there, in fact, probably inaudible. Dabanga is via VATICAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 13993-SSB, Dec 29 at 2119, MARS net with very informal QSO about antennas, etc. One of them IDs only several times as ``Tango``; some interruptions by digital ute noises, including ``running water``; 2128 another says fonetikaly ``8DQ, out``. At 2129 finally a full fonetik ID from AAR8HM but who has ``no traffic``. Google- and UDXF yg searching on that call gets zero hits.

On Sept 2, 2014 at 0600, Allan Stern reported to UDXF on 13993 USB, a USAF MARS Transcon Net with several AF-calls; but the AAR call implies Army (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1753 monitoring: confirmed Sunday Dec 28 at 2300 on WRMI 11580, good. Also confirmed at 0401 UT Monday Dec 29 on Area 51 webcast, and at 0426 also audible via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB. Also confirmed Monday Dec 29 at 2201 on Global 24 via WRMI, 9395. Next:
Wed 0401 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395
Wed 0730 & 1530 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB
Wed 1415 on WRMI 9955
Wed 2200 on WBCQ 7490v
Wed 2201 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, Dec 28 at 2010, WRMI with African fill music instead of Brother Scare, an incomparable improvement in programming (BS is still on 9980 WWCR, 9370 WWRB and several other WRMI transmitters). 2019 to `Ode to Joy` variations on piano, 2021 talk about the Council of Europe in English, French, German, then rap version in English; 2035 the usual polka.

It`s beyond me why with 11 transmitters available, Jeff would want to keep any BS at all on what should be the shining flagship of Radio Miami International, the B-System of 9955 kHz! But this respite is surely just an anomaly (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9395, Monday Dec 29 at 0550, Global 24 relaying Vatican Radio in seemingly objective secular world news, about cruise ship afire in Adriatic, good signal; at 0554 into non-objective sacred review of Pope`s year 2014. So Global 24 is still relaying VR at 0545-0600 daily except Sundays, and also presumably Israel Radio at 0530-0545, contrary to schedule grid which claims NHK Radio Japan both at 0500-0530 and 0530-0600! These come via WRN.

9395, Monday Dec 29 before 1500 some music program from Global 24, presumably the listed `Lake Air`. At 1500 into `Sounds from the Global Village`, starting with something the DJ thinx is probably Turkish.

9395, Tuesday Dec 29 at 1540, it`s R. Prague, ID, `In Focus`. Indeed the G24 sked grid now shows Sweden & Prague in the 15-16 hour, only on Tuesdays. So presumably `Democracy Now` has really been airing at 13-14, unchecked (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VATICAN [and non]. 15770-15775-15780, Dec 30 at 1542, DRM noise also QRMing weaker 15770 WRMI BS, tsk2. Per Aoki it`s Vatican Radio, English at 1530-1558 due east, i.e. for S Asia, just one more example of SMG`s exalted coverage way off their supposed azimuths. Is Jeff White still an advocate for DRM (but never on WRMI)? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) See also SUDAN [non]

UNIDENTIFIED. 960, Dec 29 at 0604 UT optional cutaway ID for ``SRN  News``, during Fox-hole of dead air from local KGWA Enid, but it cuts back on at 0605 UT before any local ID from the SRN. For quite some time I have not been hearing echoing ABC News at this time which was previously traced to KGKL in San Angelo TX and KMA in Shenandoah IA, both of which are still listed with ABC in the 2014-2015 NRC AM Log.

Going strictly by that resource, the ubiquitous SRN has only three affiliates on 960: KKNT Phoenix AZ, 5000/5000 Watts U2 (night pattern supposedly all toward the southwest), format ``Inteigent Talk`` [sic, huh??]; KLTF Little Falls MN, 5000/38 watts U1, so likely one of those, rather than the third, faraway WCRU Dallas NC (Winston-Salem), 10000/500 watts U4 (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9700-SSB, Dec 29 at 1503, 2-way in colloquial Spanish. Strange that no one else ever bothers to log and report these INTRUDERS into the SWBC bands; and some editors won`t publish my logs either --- since they are not SWBC! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser log December 28, 2014

** BRAZIL. 11747, Dec 28 at 0621, distorted spur from 11780.1 RNA/RNB, is very poor and JBA on 11813 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT [non]. 9395, Sunday Dec 28 at 1414, ME fill music playing from R. Cairo in weekly 1300 relay by Global 24 via WRMI, good signal; YL wraps up with headlines until 1422, mentions frequency 9860 which is normally non- or barely-modulated at 0200-0330; then G24 fills with RESPECT. Tnx to G24, this allows us to hear R. Cairo in English at least once a week (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KUWAIT. 21540, Dec 28 at 1511, R. Kuwait with good signal in Arabic, in fact better than the only other 13m audible, 21600 WHRI, not up to full blasting level yet. Kuwait had been AWOL for a while. Ivo Ivanov says 21540 just came back today, and it`s the same transmitter used for English at 1800-2100 on 15540, both 310 degrees toward W Europe, and thence North America. Is anyone hearing the 15540 broadcast now? Normally it`s inaudible here in the winter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 97.7 WFM stereo, Dec 28 at 0240 UT, sound-and-light show at a private residence on the west edge of Enid, as also the case the past few Xmases. As in DXLD 14-01, last year it was on 99.9, but that`s now occupied by a local LPFM. House is at intersexion of Pheasant Run (also name of the addition, turn off west from North Garland), and Club House. Mostly Mannheim Steamroller, and somewhat different light array, more LEDs than before, which is the irreversible trend. Again, very limited Part 15 range on 97.7, losing it by the time we`re back on Garland.

Then drove by the 89.5 Singing Xmas Trees site, but nothing heard or seen; already dark. It was at NE corner of West Oak and North Cleveland, not North Oakwood as I misreported a year ago (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1753 monitoring: confirmed UT Sunday Dec 28 at 0231 on KVOH 9975, following usual opening procedure. Next:
Sunday 2300 on WRMI 11580
Monday 0400v on Area 51 via WBCQ 5109v-CUSB
Monday 2201 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395
Tuesday 1200 on WRMI 9955
Wednesday 0401 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395
Wednesday 0730 & 1530 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB

Glenn Hauser log December 26-27, 2014

** BRAZIL. 11747 & 11813, Dec 27 at 0642, crackling spurs from 11780.1 RNA/RNB are audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6000, Dec 27 at 0636, open carrier/dead air from RHC English, while the other four of The Cuban Five are nominal. Is no one at the site paying attention to a modulation meter needle stuck on zero? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 12035, Dec 27 at 0118, R. Cairo, good signal but dead air
9965.3, Dec 27 at 0118, R. Cairo, very good signal with flutter, ME music; off-frequency as usual
9860.1, Dec 27 at 0119, R. Cairo, good with flutter, dead air. This one is also off-frequency
9905, Dec 27 at 0643, R. Cairo, very distorted but loud modulation in Arabic (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 9935, Dec 27 at 0132, ERTOpen is on tonight with music, vs much stronger ACI from 9930 WTWW, while // 9420 is in the clear. As best I can tell, 9935 is not motorboating. At 0649, 9420 is VG with Xmas/Hanukah/Kwanza song in English, outro in Greek as by Whitney Houston (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6769.9, Dec 27 at 0107, very poor signal from old time radio pirate -- enough to recognize, far too weak ever to enjoy (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH AMERICA. Chris Lobdell answers my question about BZN, 6965-AM: ``Hi Glenn, BZN: It is Zed - is the name of a very popular Dutch pop music group. All the music played on BZN Radio was by the group BZN. BZN Radio is project of Radio Dr. Tim in Germany - Chris Lobdell`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 1640, Dec 26 at 0646 UT, KZLS Enid is open carrier/dead air again, one of its principle formats, allowing WTNI sports et al., to be audible along with multiple SAHs (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, Dec 27 until 0104:51.5* JBA carrier cuts off from R. Chaski. This is 23.5 seconds later than a quadrinite ago when last checked, 0104:28* Dec 23, so still slipping an average of 5.875 seconds later per 24 hours (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1753 monitoring: confirmed Friday Dec 26 at 2130.5 on WRMI 7570 & 15770, good on both. This transmission is always preceded by a Rudy Espinal ID at 2129.5, fill music at 2130.0, why?
Next:
Sunday 0231 on KVOH 9975
Sunday 2300 on WRMI 11580
Monday 2201 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395
Tuesday 1200 on WRMI 9955
Wednesday 0401 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395
Wednesday 0730 & 1530 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB
Wednesday 1415 on WRMI 9955
Wednesday 2200 on WBCQ 7490v
Wednesday 2201 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9330v-CUSB, UT Sat Dec 27 at 0112, WBCQ with `Allan Weiner Worldwide` in progress, as he`s saying, ``by mid-summer there will be a new and improved WBCQ – new building, bought new transmitting equipment this fall, and maybe more in the spring, hi-powered stuff; some clients are working on that``.
Goes on to extol LED lighting as more efficient, and more and more of it to come in 2015; wind power. At 0128 takes an expected call from Bill Smith, who is a guest of the federal government. Says his prison sentence is for 5 more years, but hopes it will be reduced to 4, or maybe even out in 2015. Apparently an old friend of Allan`s, as they discuss technical developments, restricted internet access inside. I know of two Bill Smiths in the DX world --- is he a third?
As usual, this live AWWW is also on the other two transmitters, but not synchronized. At the outset, best signal by far on 9330, but it`s 28 seconds behind 7490v-AM. 5110 is very poor with less of a delay behind 7490. By 0130, 9330 is fading down, inferior to 7490. Also tried 15420 which was maybe on but could not be sure if a trace was WBCQ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9395, Fri Dec 26 at 1350, Global 24 via WRMI with `Jazz from the Left`, contrary to current grid which shows `Democracy Now` M-F at 13-14, and `JftL` on Fridays at 14-16. At 1445 check, going from `Mrs Robinson` to `RESPECT`, which I think is fill music rather than the Jazz show. But at 1502, NOW, `Democracy Now` is starting (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17775, Dec 26 at 1459, KVOH is back on for Boxing Day, having silenced itself on Xmas Day, ID as with pre-recorded program (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5050, Dec 27 at 0125, WWRB with Brother Scare, while 3185 is off. Sometime in the next few hours, BS switches to 3185, often before 0500, for the rest of the night (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9930, Dec 26 at 1446, WTWW-2 with Bible story, as this transmitter seems to be putting out humbuzz on both sides, QRMing 9955 WRMI.
9930, 9475, 12105, Dec 27 at 0120, all three WTWW transmitters are on; 9930 QRMing GREECE 9935 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15370, Dec 26 at 1957, open carrier/dead air, VG signal. Most likely RHC which normally turns this transmitter off at 1600 after having been aimed across North America. Still past 2000 but didn`t catch when they turned it off, gone by 2100. Meanwhile, 17730 RHC European service in French attains good signal at 1957.
On the FRG-7 MHz tuning comparing with BFO to WWRB 9370: 15370 is slightly higher. This is at least the third date the big OC has happened all day on 15370. Those who can measure precise frequencies could directly compare its signature to earlier when modulating RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn Hauser log December 25-26, 2014

** ALBANIA. 7425, Dec 26 at 0232, R. Tirana is playing Xmas music instead of news: `Silent Night`, 0233 `O Come All Ye Faithful` --- violating separation of church and state; fair with flutter, undermodulated (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11747 & 11813, Dec 26 at 0229, cannot detect spurs from 11780 RNA/RNB with VG signal. Trying harder with BFO at 0257, now I can just barely make out the one around 11747 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CHINA. 6970, Dec 25 at 1230, CNR1 jammer, timesignal, Beijing ID, fair.

9155, Dec 25 at 1233, CNR1 jammer, very poor
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 11950, Dec 25 at 2105, RHC is OFF today, instead of running this frequency at unscheduled hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** INDIA [and non]. 9690, Dec 25 at 1425, nice sitar music from AIR GOS, fair signal, better than usual; tnx to WRMI for staying off 9690 which they initially used a year ago upon takeover of WYFR. AIR // 13710 is still ruined by CCI from CRI English via Kashgar and/or outright CNR1 jamming; NO tnx (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [non]. 5910, Dec 25 at 1408, Sea Breeze is still here and still in English on Thursday, quick news items attributed to Daily NK, same stinger every minute, but with a long pause before starting it. Fair signal from JSR, JAPAN as we are close to our latest sunrise (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6965.0-AM, Dec 26 at 0214, vocal music, sounds religious, in Spanish? 0217 ID by British-accented YL, something radio at gmx.net. poor signal on the FRG-7, so I switch to the PL-880 and DX-398 in the upstairs shack, where it`s a little better. 0223 a carol, 0225 ``Joy to the World``; 0228 SSTV beeps; 0229 YL voice ID again with e-mail but uncopyable. Music which follows is rather distorted; 0234 ``Winter Wonderland``; 0239 beeps, fading down, 0240 announcement, off or faded out by 0245. This thread IDs it as BZN Radio, as proven by a couple of SSTV images
http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,20041.0.html
Everyone else who heard it was east of me. So what does BZN signify, and it is Zee or Zed? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 15120, Dec 25 at 1444, S Asian signing, poor with flutter, 1446 into speech/sermon as declines to very poor. Aoki shows it`s BSKSA in Bengali (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7457-USB, Dec 25 at 1410, AFE4TS, the NCS, calling any stations in Kentucky, then Mississippi; no answers in this Air Force MARS net on a holiday. See previous log of May 22, 2014, one UT hour earlier when on DST: ``AFE4TS in Tennessee is a.k.a. AFA4NQ, the Division Technical Services Manager, and the Division Training Manager, both for the Southeast Division.`` This time there is a 2 kHz het from a weak broadcaster on 7455, which per Aoki is VOA Deewa Radio via Thailand (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1753 monitoring:
confirmed Thu Dec 25 at 1330 on WRMI, 9955
confirmed Thu Dec 25 at 2201 on Global 24 via WRMI, 9395. Next:

Wed 2200 on WBCQ 7490v
Wed 2201 on Global 24 via WRMI 9395
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9395, Thu Dec 25 at 1331, Global 24 via WRMI not with `Democracy Now` but instead talk about Xmas festival, then Korean Folk Tales, so it`s KBS World Radio relay. Today, `D.N.` is back in the 15 UT hour, checked at 1522 with Amy interviewing someone about the CIA; poor-fair.

9395, Thu Dec 25 at 2104, `1812 Overture` fill music playing yet again, instead of `Dialogos Greece`, which I`ve yet to hear. About it:
http://about.global24radio.com/programs/international-broadcasts-global-24/dialogos-media/
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 17775, Dec 25 at 1521, no sign of KVOH, taking Xmas off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 15825, Dec 25 at 1520, WWCR gospel huxter with long/short path echo, becoming a DX catch at some 39 megameters the long way round. Can happen when the direct signal off the back is much attenuated, yet propagation eastward is really funxioning (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9475, Dec 25 at 2014, WTWW-1 is on, but the other two are off, 9930 and 12105.

12105, Dec 26 at 0226, WTWW-3 is apparently on, but poor with flutter, open carrier/dead air. WTWW-1 is on 5830 as usual, but no WTWW-2 on 5085 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 820, Dec 25 at 0606 UT, WBAP is starting `Mannheim Streamroller`s American Christmas`, music special. A great relief from stupid far-right anti-American `Red Eye Radio` talk show WBAP usually originates and syndicates.

Last Xmas, we ran across this on a number of big stations at various times, a 1- or 2-hour special? But this year here`s one station running it for 24 hours straight, repetitious?
