QTH: Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan
RX: WinRadio G303e
ANT: 100m longwire
7584, 25 DEC, 0621 UTC, UNID CW station repeatedly sending 751 and
nothing else. Not a platter or loop because the op made several
mistakes and sent a couple of BTs and "dits" to indicate an error. Went
SK at 0623. Nothing listed in Klingenfuss.
10300, 25 DEC, 0845 UTC, CHINA, Firedrake with the jug band in full
swing and going to town. Poor signals without QRM (dunno what they're
trying to jam) and slight fading.
11530, 25 DEC, 0856 UTC, CLAN., Denge Mezopotamya, with Pop music and
announcements by female DJ in presumed Kurdish. Very strong signals
with a slight fade. No QRM. This is another one whose QSL evades me
despite many reports and return postage. Same problem with Airtime
Belgium, its enabler, who also promises a QSL for brokered programs. Bah!
12613, 25 DEC, 1017 UTC, CHINA, XSQ Guangzhou Radio, CW Marker and SITOR
bursts. Good signals, slight fade, no QRM

** ARGENTINA. 11711-, UT Sat Dec 25 at 0200, RAE 8-note IS, over and over, with
occasional IDs in all its languages. Weak and fading in the distance, it sounds
so forlorn, and about to be gone forever from SW in one week? I recorded a few
minutes for the archives. English is supposed to start at 0200 UT Tue-Sat, but
the IS kept on playing. 0215 switched to longer multilingual IDs mixed with
other music, and 0217 finally sign-on English program, but by now signal is too
weak to copy. It had been reading S9+18 which ought to be sufficient, but much
less than its nearest comparison, 11780 Bras?lia at S9+22. Perhaps the delay
was an Xmas-eve problem, and morale is probably quite low (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. 5965, Dec 25 at 1511 two stations and motorboating sound
(low rumble, like on Pet/Kam 6075); one in Chinese, which is RCI via JAPAN, and
the only other scheduled is CRI in Russian via Beijing. Seems rather
inconvenient that RCI`s relay partner CRI is on the frequency itself is trying
to use for China. So is one of these transmitters defective? Or was the rumble
from an external source (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** DJIBOUTI. 4780, R. Djibouti, Dec 25 at 0328 assertive speech, mostly over
the CODAR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EAST TURKISTAN. 4980, Dec 25 at 0055, just about the OSOB below 5 MHz, W&M
talk, sounds Turkic, not Chinesic, bits of music. 0100 5+1 timesignal one
second late. Only thing listed in PWBR `2009` is Xinjiang PBS, Ur?mqi. Also in
B-10 HFCC, starting at 2330, 50 kW, 230 degrees, but in Chinese (Zho).
WRTH 2011 (under CHINA) shows 4980 as same source, but Nov-Apr only and
*inactive, so can`t look up which language service it is supposed to carry.
Aoki, however has it in Uighur language and active on the B-10 schedule, so
with the lack of anything else on frequency, and a good transpolar darkness
path, I feel safe in presuming it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 6270, Dec 25 at 0235, R. Cairo English is just an open carrier with
some whine, same at 0240 and 0324 chex, and also had noticed it about an hour
before. Thus they do not have to worry about modulation quality. Another
Xmas-eve who-cares SNAFU? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GERMANY [non]. Kept running across DW as I was aroundtuning Xmas eve:
11725, Dec 24 at 1857, Catholic Xmas sermon in German, later mass sounds. After
1900 playing secular Xmas music in English but German YL announcements, then
even Stille Nacht in English. This is 250 kW, 295 degrees via RWANDA. RNZI is
also on 11725 at this time, but no sign of it.
11665, Dec 25 at 0140, string of Xmas tunes by Elvis (in English) but announced
in German; 0147 more Xmas music in English, then mixture of ``God Rest Ye,
Merry Gentlemen`` with ``Take 5``. `Tis the season for messing around with
carols, but breaks the monotony and repetitiveness. Cut off abruptly at
0159:30* without ID or any announcement.
This is DW, 0100-0159, 282 degrees from Ascension to CIRAF 7S, 8S, 10, 11, 12N,
which means: southern USA from New Mexico eastward; Mexico, Central America,
Caribbean, NW South America. So once again we have a non-English [almost]
broadcast officially targeted for part of the USA, despite deletion of us as a
recognized coverage area years ago. If they overtly broadcast to NAm in English
more people might notice and complain (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 7475, Dec 25 at 0613, two or three Orthodox cantors making quite a
sound, never achieving true harmony. This is normally heard on UT Sundays
around this time, but must have been celebrating Dec 25 as Xmas. John Babbis
reported, ``From 01.00 Friday, December 24, until 09.00 Monday, December 27,
Greece Time, (2300 UT Thursday, December 23 until 0700 UT Monday, December 27),
ERA5, the Voice of Greece, will be connected with the Christmas program of the
Greek Radio`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI, Dec 25 at 1333 with ``Silent Night`` in Indonesian,
announced in English. I forced myself to listen for 60 seconds in order to
count the number of IADs (intermittent audio dropouts), and there were 19,
unevenly spaced, most ~3 seconds apart, occasionally with a respite up to 5
seconds (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. 11655, Dec 24 at 2035-2057* RNW via MADAGASCAR, ``The
State We`re In``, very interesting interview with an antiquities smuggler who
says he`s saving the pieces from destruxion in their country of origin, Egypt.
VG reception, almost as if it were for US (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 7275, Dec 25 at 0611, very poor signal sounds like it may be in
English, no doubt R. Nigeria, Abuja, in the clear this time since Tunisia
[q.v.] is on the wrong frequency, 7225 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. 5975, RRI with nice variety of Romanian Xmas music, none of it
familiar, announced in French, Dec 25 at 0245-0257* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN [non]. 9675, REE via COSTA RICA, Dec 25 at 0227 program about ``tiempo
m?gico`` with strange music; at fades, a fast SAH appeared; would not expect
Brasil to be that close to same frequency, but possible. Otherwise good,
fortunately, since 6055 direct is squeezed by CUBA on both sides. Who thought
that was a good idea? Arnie. 9675 far overshadowed RTI English via WYFR 9680
despite being aimed right at us, 315 degrees, but so is REE at 340 degrees
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN. 7200, Omdurman, Dec 25 at 0326, Arabic music, chanting and drumming,
somewhat undermodulated. 0332 announcement included ``Idha`at . . . Sudan``.
0334 fading (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TUNISIA. 7225, Arabic at 0611 Dec 25, where none should be, and // 7335, so
once again RTT is on wrong frequency, the one it uses previous evenings,
instead of 7275. 0621 kids` chorus, which I think is a Saturday-morning staple,
0626:50* cut off abruptly just like it does when on 7275. Since R. Nigeria
[q.v.], Abuja is back on 7275 now, we wonder if Tunisia`s shift is deliberate,
but it then reverts to 7275 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 18530, Dec 25 at 1458, the Brother Scare organ was playing, weak but
unmistakable. On Saturdays only we may enjoy the WINB second harmonic all day
from 9265 as 13570 takes a break (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6768, Dec 25 at 0132, 5-digit Spanish spy numbers by YL (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

** ALBANIA. 7530, R. Tirana, Dec 25 at 2122, S9+15 but just barely modulated;
however // 9895 is just barely audible. By 2126 I can tell that the music is
``White Christmas``, modulation improving somewhat, 2128 outro English as
having been a ``reportage on Christmas celebrations in Albania`` (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. 9625, just as I tuned in CBC NQ with a story about river icing, cut
off the air Dec 25 at 2139, resumed two minutes later. After 2200 news, had a
CBC Xmas special featuring tenors. Fair signal and QRMless at this time (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. 7105, Chinese with good signal amid 40m hamband, Dec 25 at
2238. Soon found // 7440 echoing and mixing with other signals, but on 7105 at
2246 only a fast SAH, no other modulation audible. It is of course, CNR1
jamming Sound of Hope which uses 7105 only at 22-23.
On 7440, the jamming is vs VOA Chinese via Thailand, but also blasts CRI
Japanese via Beijing, per Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 9550, DentroCuban Jamming Command, Dec 25 at 2138 pulsing
against nothing, probably spur from 9565 against Mart? via Sackville.
6020, DCJC, Dec 25 at 2312, pulse jamming against something, Romania in
English, probably spur from 6020 Mart? via Greenville.
5735, DCJC, Dec 25 at 2314, pulse jamming against nothing, not on 5745 where it
is `needed` elsewhen against Mart?.
12060, DCJC, Dec 25 at 2317, pulse jamming against nothing, 2 x 6030 vs Mart?;
poor here while RHC 12010 and 12040 VG.
5990, CRI English relay, Dec 25 at 2313 is not only lo-fi but the squealing
transmitter.
15230, RHC in Portuguese, Dec 25 at 2318, while 15370 was stronger but
extremely distorted in Creole at 2319. For once, both these match the schedule
at
http://www.radiohc.cu/espanol/c_frecuencia/frecuencias.htm
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** EGYPT. 6270, R. Cairo, which was open carrier all last evening, is
still/again! dead air, Dec 25 at 2207 during the 2115-2245 English to Europe.
But by 2235 had managed some lofi, lomod music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** INDIA. AIR GOS, 9445 fluttery but better than // 7550, Dec 25 at 2130 about
Xmas celebrations in India, saying all religions celebrate it as a holiday,
then rather amateurish dramatization of a family`s activities (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN. 11665, NHK direct, UT Saturday Dec 25 at 2325 with classical organ
music, Bach; // 17605 via Bonaire not making it this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. 6185, Dec 25 at 2303, XEPPM is again on an hour early with music,
fast SAH from something but not Brasil. EiBi has already adopted the 2300
opening we reported previously (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEWFOUNDLAND. 6160, CKZN, Dec 25 at 2304 weather forecast for Maritime
cities, all in negative temps; why not switch to Kelvin? Poor with fast SAH,
2305 into music (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 7255, Dec 25 still on at 2302, S9+25 with tone test and hum, after
Hausa service which had heard in previous hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** SARAWAK [non]. 7590, Dec 25 at 2243, poor signal in conversation, cadence
sounds IndoMalay, presumably R. Free Sarawak via TAJIKISTAN which has been
going for a sesquimonth now at 2230-2330, also in local language Iban. S9+10
peaks but still too poor to make much of it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** SOUTH AFRICA. 11755, Dec 25 just before 2100 as I tune in, VTC fill music
loop and off. This had been AWR via Meyerton in Yoruba, preceded by French at
2000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 7270 and 7275, REE strangely on both adjacent frequencies in Spanish,
but separate programming, Dec 25 at 2248. 7275 was // 11940, so I concentrated
on 7270. This show in Castilian was about visiting T?bet, and gave phone number
several times, 91-496-2823, unGooglable.
7270 sign-off at 2255 said it was for Europe, to resume in the morning on 9780
DRM and 12035, but then mentioned ``esta emisi?n`` being to NW Africa on 7275,
the frequency I was not listening to. HFCC shows 7270 is 170 degrees to NW Af
and 7275 50 degrees to Europe. To confuse matters further, WRTH 2011 does not
list 7270 at all, but has a frequency I did not notice, 7265 Spanish to Af at
22-23 following Arabic (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9479, Sat Dec 25 at 2012, WTWW has finally broken away from Pastor
Pete Peters. There had been rumors that he was considering allowing some other
programming despite his 24/7 purchase of WTWW-1 airtime. What else but QSO with
Ted Randall, who has also been involved with this station from the start, did
the test broadcasts and produced the IDs.
As I tuned in, W4RWL was conveying his Xmas greetings, and then KE5ALK. At 2014
Ted did one of his ubiquitous antenna ads; 2016 song ``How`d you like to spend
Christmas on Christmas Island?`` [which one? Ask any illegal immigrant to
Australia]. 2019 two more hams with greetings and both said Happy New Year,
2009! Ooops, this is a two-year-old show.
Later we consult http://www.tedrandall.com to see what`s up:

NOW ON AT A NEW TIME ON SATURDAY EVENING!
On 7.415 WBCQ Saturday Nights @ 7:00PM Central``
Frequency is really 9479-, but Ted thinx 9480 is close enough. QSO had been
running Sat 19-20 UT on WBCQ 7415, as well as UT Sundays 01-05++, so I check
7415 at 2015: no, not //, something else, an OL talking about Xmas --- unless
it was a different QSO interviewing her.
Since I heard it after 2000, but at 2100 Scriptures for America was back on
9479, QSO must be two hours at 19-21 Sats (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING

** U S A. 17520, Saturday Dec 25 at 1950, assertive talk in unknown language,
long-path echo too, punxuated by occasional screams, but lo fi audio. 1958 cut
to some southern gospel music, WHRI sign-off, to QSY to 15665 and off. In past
WHRI has carried some Amharic shows around this time, but nothing to be found
on their online schedules to account for this. In the frequency schedules, we
find many duplications between Angel 1 and 5, such as 17520 on both of them at
19-20, but apparently that depends on day of week, when you delve into the
program schedules.
Angel 1: 1900 - 2000 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM Sa Bishop S.C. Johnson Program Bishop
S.C. Johnson & Elder Conrad Campbell 17.520 Mhz
Angel 5: 1900 - 2000 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM Sa Bishop S.C. Johnson Program Bishop
S.C. Johnson & Elder Conrad Campbell 15.665 Mhz
WHRI`s linx to some programs do not include this one, so we Google:
http://www.apostolic-ministries.net/memory.htm
``-------In Memory Of--------
Bishop S.C. Johnson
Departed This World, February 22, 1961``
But it seems his followers have kept him going a long time, more than three
sesquidecades! I wonder if that was really him and his accent so heavy I could
not recognize it as English? Same page mentions on WINB, but not WHRI. I did
not check whether he was // on 15665 before 2000.
Googling Elder Conrad Campbell gets only four hits, all of them leading back to
WHR. There are audio files of many of S.C.`s sermons on above site (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9350, WWCR with IRN/USA `News` at 2203 Dec 25, caster pronounces the
island off Yemen ``Socorta`` --- bet he had never heard of it before, but
that`s no disqualification for being an agenda-based network newscaster on
national and international radio (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 3320, Dec 25 at 2309 continuous tone test, exactly same pitch as
the pips on CHU; apparently R. Sonder Grense, SOUTH AFRICA which is supposed to
program all-night; tho P`yongyang could have propagated, too (Glenn Hauser, OK,
