** BRAZIL. 11854.9, Dec 28 at 0650, R. Aparecida is still/again missing, while other 25m ZYs, 11815 and 11934.9 are detectable. Art Delibert in Maryland had noted it was back on in the meantime, UT Dec 27 at 0340 on 11854.89; and Wolfgang Büschel listening via Florida put it on 11854.848 with a tiny signal Dec 28 at 1110 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6000 & 6165, Dec 28 at 0305, RHC`s only two English frequencies are both S9+20 but just barely modulated, virtually open carriers. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15507, 15439, 15302, 15233, 15165, 15097 approx., Dec 28 at 1544, filthy dirty spurblobs out of 15370 RHC, the bottom two barely audible, at roughly 68-69 kHz intervals. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA SOUTH. 4885, Dec 28 at 1529, VP music at S5 = band noise level, but late for Echo of Hope still to be audible, weaker than 5025 Cuba; 107 minutes after LSR here at 1342 UT, a week before latest of 1344 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 7254.921, Dec 28 at 0645, VON is back on tonight, S9+20/30 in Hausa toward North America (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TINIAN [and non]. 5885, Dec 28 at 1530, S9-S7 talk apparently in Korean altho I don`t catch any key syllables ``imnida``, maybe NK dialect, as there is some lite tone/pulse jamming. Aoki/NDXC shows RFA in Korean at 15-19 via Tinian (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 13565-CW, Dec 28 at 1542, HIFER beacon K6FRC IDs from California are JBA; first one heard on this band for several weeks despite almost daily scans (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1910 monitoring: confirmed Wednesday December 27 at 2218 the 2200 on WBCQ, 7489.828v, good S9+10/20. Not confirmed UT Thu Dec 28 at 0030 on WBCQ 9330v-CUSB, but probably inhabiting a JBA carrier. Next:

** U S A. 9955, Dec 27 at 2300 past 2344, WRMI playing World Music, including several familiar tunes from many genres, S9+10 and no jamming. What a pleasure, to accompany my dozenap. But regular programming must be missing. Scheduled for Wed at 6-7 pm ET is `EBF Genesis Study`, so quite an improvement (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9455, Dec 28 at 0251, VP signal from WRMI, but sounds like BS also on VG 3185 WWRB. Yes, with a 9 second delay via WWRB. So WRMI has not deleted ALL TOM hours. This was and is on sked for one hour only, like another 1-hour at 00-01 on 9395, need to check that. Kept as tokens, oversight, or too much trouble to delete and replace or turn off just yet, as these two frequencies are 24h with Oldies or something.
Before 0300, other WRMI frequencies 9955 and 11580 emit otherstuff, while the 5 and all three 7s are off. At 0301, we find this: 9455 Spanish from Taiwan, // JBA 5985; 9395 R. Praga in Spanish despite skedgrid as ``Prague`` implying it`s English. 11580 is still on but JBA carrier; after 0300 had been scheduled as TOM, but now?? By 0340, 9455 is much better in Taiwanese Spanish // 5985. 9395 now with R. Slovakia in English, S9+20 VG, interviewing a Slovak violinist who is promoting classical vs celtic music in Ireland.
At 0647, 5850 and all three sevens are still off, no RAE in Japanese. 11530 also seems off, while 11520 WEWN is audible. The 06-07 hour on 11530 had been TOM fill between Biafra and Herwa (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5830, Dec 28 at 1530, WTWW-1 still on night frequency instead of 9475 for SFAW, S9+10/20 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9232.30 & weaker 9507.70 approx., Dec 28 at 1536, filthy distorted spurblobs out of the 9370 BS from WWRB. So now separated by 137.7 kHz close to the 137.85 of yesterday. Exact carrier shifts with modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
