** CUBA. 5040, 6000, 6060, 6100, 9700, Dec 10 at 0732 check, no RHC English or Spanish signals to be found on any band; while sometimes one or two remain on post 0700. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 420 MCW kHz, Dec 10 at 0742 UT, PK, 25-watt ND beacon at Olathe / Herbb, Kansas, mixing with FQ Fairmont MN, which I logged 24 hours earlier without any PK, half as far, SW suburb of Kansas City KS. But what`s Herbb? No info on name source but it`s mentioned here, and would you believe that FAA confuses kHz with MHz? https://adip.faa.gov/agis/public/#/airportData/SN35 ``NDB, PK, HERBB, 420 MHz, 24, 10.3 nm, 23.1°. NDB UNUSBL 000-094 BYD 10 NM BLW 3000 FT; 095-149; 150-210 BYD 10 NM`` and here: https://www.airport-data.com/airport/OJC/ils/36.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2116 monitoring: encountered by chance Friday December 10 at 1539 on WRMI 9955, S9+20! Yes, without notice but we`ll take it, now on the System B skedgrid for 1530 Fridays, still dated as last March, but countless changes have been made since then. Now there is a new 1530-1600 strip of mostly DXish programs besides WOR on Fridays: `Wavescan` on Sun & Mon; `SW Radiogram` on Tue; `Hobart Radio International` on Wed, `Frecuencia al Día` on Thu; but of course Overcomer on Sabbathday.
Searching the WRMI skeds for any other WOR changes: no longer shown Fri 2330 on Sys L 5950, tho we were on last week plus 4980; no longer UT Sun 0030 on 5950, tho we were still showing then for a couple weeks anyway; still Sun 2330 on 5950, but may well be also 4980, 4975 spur and separate Sys B on 9955.
WOR 2116 also confirmed Friday December 10 at 1915 on IRRS SW, 7290 via Bulgaria, and 918 via Italy. Via UTwente turned on 7290 just in time to hear carrier come on at *1858.8, S9+25 of dead air until chop on modulation at 1900.9 during `Feature Story News`, missing any Aida or IRRS s/on. Heavy ACI from 7295 China requires ~5 kHz narrow or LSB tuning. Then I check // 918 via nearby Noale SDR: S9+10, but no sign of // LW 207 kHz which has been testing but not now. Filler includes fragment of a talk show about climate, solar system exploration until it`s chopped off for 1915 IRRS ID and WOR. Both stay with WOR complete until 1944.
Also confirmed Fri Dec 10 at 2130 replay on AM Italia 918 not 207; preceded by country music and IRRS ID. Chops off the air at 2158* a minute before I am finished! Revealing ``La Ínter`` from Madrid, 2201 with ``Mr Grinch`` Xmas song in English! Still a fast SAH from an understation, Iran, Nigeria? Next:

** U S A [and non]. 9330, Dec 10 at 0736, WBCQ colliding with Cuban spy numbers and uteblapps on a Friday, S9+10/20 with a medium SAH. This time WBCQ is slightly atop. The flat-earthers are also too stupid to realize they have a problem here and resolve it; but no loss some 8 hours a week of unlistenable English nonsense (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. 9385, Dec 19 at 0735 UT, JBA algo. The only thing scheduled is WEWN English, which has been absent for more than a week. Making a comeback.
9385, Dec 10 at 1530, again something JBA here, but not an hour WEWN would be on. Only other thing on 9385 is the 1530-1630 hour, VOA Burmese via PHILIPPINES.
15610, Dec 10 at 2100, a VP signal here into Maine SDR; missed ID but intro a talk program, 2103-2105 break for Real (?) Radio news, 2105 resume talkshow about conversions, obviously religious. I believe the daytime WEWN frequency has also been absent, but this must be it. Trouble is, has huge squeal and modulation is suppressed/distorted. Most listenable, but not very, in AM Narrow, reading S9+10, or LSB mode as S5.
WEWN is in horrible shape. Nominal sked for English is 19-24 on 15610, 00-09 on 9385. Spanish on 12050/5970 has been nominal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 7505, Dec 10 at 0739 tune-in to two canned WRNO IDs, asking for reports, and overlapping into `Maranatha Radio` starting at this odd hour. S8/S9+10 and suptorted (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
This report dispatched at 2208 UT December 10
