Glenn Hauser logs December 22-23, 2020

** BRAZIL [non]. 11910, Dec 22 at 2341, JBA AM carrier, presumably NHK, in the absence of any DRM noise from antipodal RNA. Replying to my previous note that it was missing:

``DMR from Brazil Out of Air for a Few Days --- As posted to the DRMNA io group today (21 December): "Tx on 11910 kHz is off for some repairs. To be back after Christmas." -- Richard Langley`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 6850, Dec 22 at 2316, Chinese, and also 6865 but marred by local? blob. Both in Aoki/NDXC as CNR1 jammer frequencies vs Sound of Hope (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13762 & 13638 approx., Dec 22 at 1550, +/- 62 kHz spurblobs with F# tone, Spanish modulation, only S3-S4 out of RHC 13700 which is S9+10/20 and overmodulated. Spurs nowhere near as strong as they can be; something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6937-USB, Dec 22 at 2307, pirate talk S4-S6 and soon some Nat King Cole songs, ``My Love For You`` at first thought sounded like ``Makin` Whoopee``; 2313 talking about NKC and more songs; off by 2337 recheck. These say https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,75870.0.html Zeke`s Attics [sic] was on 6937-USB from 2217 [sic: ``2017``] but no reports later than 2303, previously no NKC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SINGAPORE. 7355, Dec 22 at 1543, Korean Talk at S9/+10; YL seems to have a Japanese accent. BBC via Kranji at 1530-1830, 250 kW at 25 degrees carrying on USward (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 335-MCW kHz, Dec 22 at 0724 UT, ND beacon BV, which is 25 watts from Batesville - Almond, Arkansas. I was tuned to 333-USB.

BTW, elevated extreme high local noise level blamed on Xmas lights, S9+10/20 over most of LW, MW and SW --- grrr! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5800, 5850, 5950, 7570, 7730, 9395, Dec 23 at 0257 I find open carriers/dead air on all these WRMI frequencies, and maybe also 7780 which is too weak to be sure, maybe JBM. Did not get 9955 checked in time. Automation computers all failed, yet power is on to run the transmitters? But at 0300 remodulating with TOMBS on 5850, 7570, 7730; Biermann on 5950 = YWS or T2P; 9395 at 0303 with hard-sell Medicare supplement spot ad, and 0304 ``back to the music`` = ``Wheels``. 5800 probably `Freedom Synergy Radio` contrary to sked, definitely by 0330 as in next item (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5800, UT Wed Dec 23 at 0300, dead-air festival ends with something on this WRMI, but NOT `La Rosa de Tokio` as scheduled; at 0330 it`s `Freedom Synergy Radio`, in English with Spanish-accented pro-Taiwan, anti-ChiCom discussion, just like last night, when FSR blew away `Wavescan` at 0300 and WOR at 0330. All these are still on the System H schedule for 5800, but is revived FSR being stripped across here 0300-0400, five or even seven days a week? If so that also deletes: `Encore` on UT Thursday; `VORW` on UT Friday; `Encore` on UT Saturday, or as already publicized for holiday specialism, `TRSW` on Dec 26 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 6948-AM, Dec 23 at 0306-0317+, S8 of open carrier; pirate QRX or what? Instead of the usual one on 6860? No, that one is still on too (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
