Glenn Hauser logs December 25-26, 2021

** BRAZIL. 9666.388, Dec 26 at 0711, R. Voz Missionária, music could be secular, S4/S5. Dec 24 it was at .385, so in 48 hours it drifted up only 3 Hz, contrary to my calculation based on previous bimonth averaging 4.8 Hz per day. We`ll see how it average out over a week or so (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CANADA. 362 MCW kHz, Dec 26 at 0725 UT, dash and SB, 500 watt NDB at Greater Sudbury, Ontario.

300 MCW kHz, Dec 26 at 0728 UT, dash and YIV, 500 watt NDB at Island Lake, Manitoba, almost 54 degrees N latitude. Two of the less common Canux; unlike regulars I seldom relog, YXL 346 Sioux Lookout, and always strongest WG 248 Winnipeg (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 13740, Dec 25 at 2308, S9+40 of dead air from RHC, same with some hum on 15230, S9+5. Spanish succeeds but suptorted on 15370, S9/+20. Something`s always wrong at RHC. But 13650 CRI ``Portuguese`` of Chinese music only is VG S9+30 way over the Japan CCI (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 12000, Dec 26 at 0704, RHC English S6/S8, sufficient, as 2 x 6000 which is S9+10/20. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9700, Dec 26 at 0709, RHC still on here instead of 6165 and in Spanish instead of English, S5/S7. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA. RF 25, 9-2, KWTV news playback Dec 25 about another sound & light show home, ``The Lights on Rockwood`` in Edmond; glimpse of 88.3 sign for FM frequency. Continues until 12/31 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 12030, Dec 25 at 1610, REE with ``Jingle Bells Rock`` in English, during Spanish program; 1612 introducing a Boston Pops medley; S8/9+10 much better off the back of ME beam, than on 9690 thisaway, LUHF/OWF trumping azimuth. REE really needs a Propagation 101 lesson (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Dec 25 at 2313, VOT English employing the just-barely-modulated transmitter yet S9/+25. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non]. In previous report about WOR, Friday Dec 24, I wrote wrong frequency for interference, 7290 instead of 7295. That portion repaired:

I had started listening to both about 1903, when 7290 seemed dead air at S8 with heavy ChiCom ACI de 7295 unless LSB-tuned; but 918 VG S9+18 with `Feature Story News`... (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2118 monitoring: confirmed Saturday December 25 at 1700 on WRN North America webcast.

Also confirmed starting at 2052 Sat Dec 25 the 2030v on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, Wentzville MO, VG S9+10 into nearby Warrenton SDR.

Also confirmed UT Sunday December 26 at 0030 on WRMI 5950, S9+20/30 direct, and about two words behind on WRMI 7730 S9/+30.

Note, from next week/month/year, the UT Sun 0030 WOR on 5950 is to be replaced by something else, which looks interesting: https://www.postcardpanorama.com/ About Tammy Walker: https://www.tdwalker.net/ Postcard Panorama: a brief introduxion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEehsYgrqaU Her previous programs on 5130, I was not aware of at the time: https://www.shortwavesshortpoems.com/

WOR 2118 also confirmed UT Sun Dec 26 at 0419 about 6 minutes into so started circa 0413 on WA0RCR, 1860 AM, VG S9+10 into Warrenton.

** U S A. 15555-USB, Dec 25 at 1600, no ID from WJHR, but hymn about a garden, soon gospel huxter referencing Mark IX, S7-S4, so fairly good now. I sometimes hear traces, usually nothing at all. Also Dec 26 at 1609, all too brief piano music before back to g.h., S9 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [non]. 11610, Dec 25 at 1607, talk in unknown language, S9-S5 with heavy flutter. Aoki shows VOA Somali via Woofferton UK at 1600-1800.

11830, Dec 25 at 1609, similar fluttery signal to 11610. That`s Deutsche Welle in Amharic via Issoudun, FRANCE at 1600-1700. Anyhow, the North Atlantic backward path is disturbed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Dec 26 at 0715-0721: 549, 558, 612, 639, 684-2, *693, 747, 774-2,, 837-2, 846-TP, 855, 882-2, 909, 954, 999, 1044, 1053-2, 1089, 1107-2, 1215-2 kHz. *strongest. -2 means at least two carriers beating - some slow, some faster. Maybe I should time them and compare to mwoffsets (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
