** BRAZIL [and non]. 6180, Dec 18 at 0120, heavy collision has resumed between RNA in Brazuguese, and CRI English via CUBA, about equal levels making fast SAH, as RNA is off-frequency a bit. All are too set in their ways to resolve the conflict (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 14997 & 15283 approx., Dec 17 at 1515, the RHC JBA spurs are audible again today, plus/minus 143 kHz out of the 15140 transmitter (where BTW, Oman is reported reactivated but blocked by RHC here). Something`s always wrong at RHC, but no 13 MHz FM spurs today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1961, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6000, Dec 18 at 0116, no signal from RHC English, but undermodulated 6165 is running; and 6060 in Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K. 7445, Dec 18 at 0112, SW Asian music and talk, S9+10 to S8, not bad for BBC Woofferton beaming toward Afghanistan in Pashto; total service is 0030-0330 alternating Dari and Pashto, except the final semihour switches to Armenia site, why? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. While WOR 1960 is running on WRMI 5950 & 9395, UT Mon Dec 17 at 0230, what`s on the other audibles? 7780 Viva Miami; 9955 Wavescan; 5850 // 7570 // 7730 Brother HyStairical (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5130.4, Dec 17 at 0232, only this WBCQ is audible, VP, nothing on 7490+ or 9330+; both off or not propagating? At 0359 on Area 51 webcast, naughty Xmas carols on an old Radio TimTron Worldwide, mentioning now ex-frequencies 5110 and 7415, ending a bit late and right into WOR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7490.188v, Dec 18 at 0110, WBCQ with `From the Isle of Music`, mixed with Cuban interviews. Gone after 0200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5130.4, Dec 18 at 0218, VP WBCQ with TOM, at first another voice, then BS himself, // same subject on 7570 WRMI, but far from synchronized. 9330 off or inaudible, so has WBCQ moved BS to 5130? Had been almost 24/7 on 9330, which 5130 may again become. WBCQ`s own program schedules remain woefully outdated, e.g. still showing WOR at 0030 daily on 9330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5085, Dec 17 at 1513, WTWW-2 still on night frequency with a hard-sell ham equipment Tedad; during extended Xmasmx? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15555-USB, Dec 17 at 1516, JBA talk so WJHR is here again today instead of 15550 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1961, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5935, Dec 18 at 0115, S9+20 of dead air from WWCR, finally resuming DGS at 0120 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
