** ANTARCTICA. 15475.98 RCUSB, Dec 8 at 1433, 1502, 1602 chex, NO signal from LRA36 into Brasil SDR this Wed, despite surprise showup Sat Dec 4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA [and non]. LW propagation is good from Canada, Dec 8 at 0737-0745 UT, but local high noise level blox above 350 kHz, even 515 PN Ponca City OK, normally the strongest, becoming JBA. Perhaps those damn Xmas lites across the street which will probably be blazing for another month. But below 350 these are well copiable:
346 MCW kHz, Dec 8 at 0738 UT, dash and YXL, 500 watt ND beacon from Sioux Lookout, Ontario
335 MCW kHz, Dec 8 at 0738 UT, dash and YLD, 1000 watt NDB at Chapleau, Ontario
332 MCW kHz, Dec 8 at 0739 UT, dash and QT, 1000 watt NDB at Thunder Bay, Ontario; as usual well atop nearby IC Wichita KS, 400 watts
300 MCW kHz, Dec 8 at 0740 UT, dash and YIV, 500 watt NDB at Island Lake, Manitoba; seldom heard this one straddling LW and MW
284 MCW kHz, Dec 8 at 0742 UT, dash and QD, 500 watt NDB at The Pas, Manitoba
258 MCW kHz, Dec 8 at 0744 UT, dash and ZSJ, 1000 watt NDB at Sandy Lake, Ontario; only one on 258 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 9700, Dec 8 at 0745, S9+30 of dead air, obviously RHC English
where something`s always wrong.
[non] 9330, Dec 8 at 0746, no signal from Cuban Spy Numbers despite scheduling on Wednesdays this bihour, clear for WLCR/WBCQ S9+10. Obviously spy would be blasting if active as RHC 9700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 9690, Wed Dec 8 at 2300, token English from REE, VG into Maryland SDR. Justin Coe says after news, feature will be interview with Steven Knight, keyboardist of a new Trans-Baroque group in Madrid; then Justin mispronounces Omicron as ``omnicron`` -- this happens a lot tho there is no such word. BTW, the first o is ``short``, not ``long``; that is why Greek has a separate Omega, which is long. Interview is by Gil Carbajal: does that mean a dredge from the archive or is he currently there? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY [non]. 5960, Dec 8 at 2259, poor signal of BBCWS ID and off* as I am tuning in UTwente for a Turkey check, which never shows today. BBC sked 22-23 UT only via OMAN. By 2307 I`ve checked all 5 TRT frequencies supposed to quit at 2130 or 2200: not there either, 5970, 5980, 6120, 9610, 9625. The trouble is, nothing scheduled at 22-23, so sleepyrator(s) in deep REM don`t wake up before 2300. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. From *2310, Chinese owns 5960 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
