** ALGERIA [non]. 6060, Dec 22 at 0405, Arabic IDs from RTA and 0406 into Qur`an. Heavy CCI from RHCuba with humbuzz. TDA is scheduled 04-06, southward from FRANCE toward Algerian outback and Sahel in the protracted absence of registered imaginary SW broadcasts from inside Algeria. Something`s always wrong at RHC. And how is TDA supposed to know Cuba is there if not in HFCC? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98-RCUSB, Dec 22 at 1500, LRA36 is on again this Wednesday, S5-S6 music, 1502 Base Esperanza ID; off at 1541 check: via Brasil SDR where I had to camp as two were already tuned for this. Others report it went off at 1530 or 1532* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 9700, Dec 22 at 0408, RHC English is here tonight instead of 6165, S9+20 but undermodulated. Something`s always wrong at RHC. See also ALGERIA [non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 15140, Dec 22 at 2000, RHC continues in Spanish, what happened to English? Something`s always wrong at RHC. About today being ``dia del educador`` since 1961, and hyping Cuba as ``territorio libre --- de analfabetismo``, land free of illiteracy. Is this another lie? Venezuela also makes that claim --- then why are those the two least free countries in Latin America?
Then 2004 weather report from Dr. José Rubiera, https://www.cibercuba.com/noticias/2019-01-23-u164415-e164415-s27061-jose-rubiera-celebro-su-cumpleanos-72 including snow in Labrador, -14 in Calgary, also bits of US, Mexico, Central America and Caribbean predixions. He also appears in English around :15 past those hours. En seguida: deportes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** EGYPT. 9899.599, Dec 21 at 2208, R. Cairo, S9+30 into UTwente in English but very distorted. Something`s always egregious in Egypt (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** MADAGASCAR. 15355, Dec 22 at 1950, S5-S7 in unknown language, seems a sermon with hymn breaks; 1957 AWR theme briefly, 1959*. Aoki shows Ibo via Talata at 1930-2000; 15355 resumes at 2030 in French via Austria (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. Checking out Part 15 FMs in Enid to go with Xmas Sound and Light shows, UT Dec 22 from 0017 past 0100, the two regular ones each year: Singing Xmas Trees, at the NE corner of Oakwood and Oak in an (ex?) oil field lot: 89.5 MHz, seems only three tunes looping: Chipmunx, Jingle Bells and I Wanna Hippopotamus for Xmas. Quite short range; we parked a little too far for full quieting, and it was hard to make out the ``worm`` along the fence.
In the Pheasant Run barrio, address hard to make out but maybe 5701 on that street, the usual house and trees with a longer stereo loop including Mannheim Steamroller and quiet carols alternating, on 94.9 MHz with greater range of a couple blox.
We did not find the third one in another neighborhood, but maybe this one on 95.1 which made the front page of the Dec 22 Eagle:

The Sudlow Family Light Show is on display at 2442 Edgewood Drive in Enid. (Photo provided)
An Enid family is putting on its fifth annual light show outside of their home with thousands of programmed lights and music.
The light show is at 2442 Edgewood Drive and runs 5:30-10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 5:30-11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. {CST = UT -6}
“On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, it is pretty packed outside of our house,” Ryan Sudlow said. “People will just line their cars up and down the street and stay and watch the program. The whole point of this is to make sure we have done our part to make people’s Christmases a little bit brighter.”... https://www.enidnews.com/news/local-light-show-brightens-the-holidays/article_bd17a9ea-62af-11ec-8f37-47a9e141a19c.html
I assume similar things are running all over, but I never see any other reports of such ``local DX`` (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)
** TURKEY. 5960, Dec 21 at 2300, VOT is S9+45, English VG into UTwente. Something`s not erroneous in Emirler today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, December 22 at 0409, earlier than usual for me so a somewhat different selexion, and tuning downwards: 1584-2, 1566, 1458, 1215, 1161, 1152, 1125-2, 1107-, 963, 855-2, 846!-TP, 837, 774-2, 711, 693, 684, 612, 531 kHz. -2 means at least two carriers beating. 846 presumed TP Kiritimati, almost sundown there already. 1566 suspected TWR Benin. 1584 has low-power Euro/ME only, perhaps most likely 2 x 5 kW SER in Spain and/or another SER in Ceuta (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
