** BRAZIL. 4925, Dec 15 at 0021, JBA talk at S8 vs noise level of S9. Presumably the only known station on frequency, Rádio Educação Rural, Tefé, Amazonas; not anything from Asia as first suspected (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 4875+, Dec 15 at 0144, Brazuguese talk and music, S8-S9, very slightly on plus side, i.e. Rdif. Roraima, Boa Vista (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 317 kHz, Dec 15 at 0226, dash and VC, 1000-watt ND beacon at La Ronge, Saskatchewan.
326 kHz, Dec 15 at 0230 UT, dash and VV, 133-watt NDB at Wiarton, Ontario, which http://www.dxinfocentre.com/ndb.htm says is among those to be decommissioned 2020-03-26. I was tuned to 325 USB. When tuned to 326 instead hearing AAA, supposed to be on 329; see U S A (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 7293-7294, Dec 15 at 1545, FMish spurblob with Chinese mixture // 7300-AM, which is a CNR1 jammer vs RTI frequency. No match on the opposite side. Not to be confused with the Vietnam +8 kHz spur from 7285 which finishes at 1330 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 7335, Dec 15 at 1907, Chinese music, not Firedragon, S6-S7. Scheduled is CRI Portuguese via Jinhua site; i.e. nothing but music fill for months, probably same as heard after 2300 on 6100, 13650 via Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5025, Dec 15 at 0020, R. Rebelde, S9+10 of dead air; and still so at 0246 recheck. Is no one paying attention at the studio or transmitter? Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5820, Dec 15 at 0242, JBA carrier where nothing is listed, can`t pull any audio, but I recently computed this as a potential leapfrog mixing product at Quivicán/Titán, 6180 CRI Chinese relay over 6000 RHC English, another 180 kHz below.
Harold Frodge, MI DXpedition, has also reported: ``UNKNOWNISTAN: 5820, 0128, 12/7; EE feature on the world economy, socialism vs capitalism & mentioned Cuba. Co-ch SS QRM, not //6060 RHC. Nothing in EiBi or Aoki (Frodge-DXP)`` RHC English could include Spanish bits.
5820 should contain the following: 01-02 CRI English & RHC English; 02-03 CRI Chinese & RHC English. Coincidentally two other frequencies could also leap to 5820, 6000 & 5910, another 90 kHz down: 03-04 CRI English & RHC English; 03-04 CRI Cantonese & RHC English. Reverse leaps would be 6360 then 6090 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SINGAPORE. 7355, Dec 15 at 1544, BBC Korean is S9+20, carrying on
very well far beyond the target from Kranji; no jamming audible,
scheduled 1530-1830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Sat Dec 14 at 2330, checking VOT via UTwente SDR, `Turkish Cuisine` recipe show, VG signal but with considerable LAH, i.e. from PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi, in Chinese, which is always off-frequency-minus; Aoki says it starts at 2310. Its LAH even more of a problem an hour later against the weekly Mighty Farty KBC via Germany; but neither bothered much over here (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non]. 7445, Dec 15 at 1910, BBCWS in English about Algeria, Mali, S8-S9 this early via MADAGASCAR, scheduled 15-20, 250 kW at 315 degrees inadvertently also USward. Some collisions, such as IRAN also in English at 1520-1620, but that may be about to self-destruct (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 326? kHz, Dec 15 at 0727, ND beacon ID as AAA; only such call listed is supposed to be on 329 kHz, 25 watts from Lincoln IL = `Abraham Lincoln`. Not unusual to tune something 1 kHz off, but 3? The town of Lincoln is on I-55 NE of Springfield, halfway to Bloomington IL. When tuned to 325, I heard VV in Ontario, listed as 326; see CANADA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 13565-CW, Dec 15 at 1454, K6FRC HIFER beacon from Patterson CA is JBA, but usually no trace whenever checked, tuning by. I only hear it around this time of day (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2012 monitoring: confirmed UT Sun Dec 15 at 0427 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, VG S9+20/30! About 12 minutes into so started circa nominal 0415 despite late start on first airing. Next:

** U S A. 5085 and spur carriers 5072+, 5088-, Sat Dec 14 at 0128, theatre organ while a few minutes earlier it was still ham stuff, so must have just variably started on WTWW-2. Xmasmx with comments from Bob Heil; lasts until 0157 when closing he remarx, `from our new studio in Belleville, Illinois``. But is this really new or an evergreen show? Is he still calling it `Theater Organ in the Ozarx`? No doubt about Springfield MO area, but Belleville would really be pushing beyond Ozarx. I soon had switched to $tereo webcast which has a new URL: http://wtww.us/pages/listen-live/tx2.php but don`t click on any link on that page or you`ll lose it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Dec 15 at 0256-0300: 531, 558, 576, 675, 684, 693, 711(stronger), 738, 747, 774(2), 837(2), 882, 909, 999(2), 1008, 1017, 1026, 1053, 1062, 1089, 1179, 1215, 1431 kHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1520.7 approx., Dec 15 at 1912 UT, het upon KOKC; not SAUDI ARABIA which would be exactly 1521.00, and probably KRHW Sikeston MO previously off-frequency. Would be nice if someone nearby or elsewhere in mid-America would measure what`s off.
BTW, after Saudi closes at 2230*, DXers in NE America have been getting on 1521 the 500 kW CRI relay in EAST TURKISTAN, land of Uighur brainwashing by the ChiCom (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7290, Dec 15 at 1906, JBA carrier this early, probably IRRS via Romania(?). May be able to detect WOR direct until 1930 on Dec 16 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7475, Dec 15 at 0740, open carrier; also noted a few hours earlier when looking for YHWH. Also at 1542 when OC is S9+10, still at 1553, 1623, with some light clicking once per second. Maybe it`s a ute in this shared band? Nothing heard from RFE/RL in Tajik via Thailand scheduled at 1400-1700, and nothing is listed earlier.
7475, Dec 15 at 1910, carrier with trace of mod? Should now be Radio Thailand`s English hour direct to Europe (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
This report dispatched at 1955 UT December 15
