Most of the 2598s are in NL, further and weaker than the 2749s (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 540-, Dec 22 at 0137, ``Jingle Bell Rock``, in English from dominant station on caradio with fast SAH; then a carol in Spanish. Fits for XEWA, SLP2, in mwoffsets as 539.973 kHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. Our annual tour of Enid Xmas sound and light shows UT December 22, 0100-0200+. The ``singing Xmas trees`` were not deployed this year in the oil well lot on the NE corner of Oak and Oakwood, darkness, and on 89.5, silence. The residence in the Pheasant Run addition on the west edge of Enid is doing it again, on 94.9 MHz, with 97.7 usurped by a non-Part 15. More impressive is one transmitting on 87.9 in the lakeside addition of NW Enid right across Purdue from 960 KGWA site. Must be really low-power Part 15, as not full quieting parked right across its street; and the sign showing the frequency is poorly visible. Rest of the neighborhood is not lit up as much as previous years, wonder why? This one is at 3815 Rockwood, very elaborate flashing lights co?rdinated with music and a separate video loop of Santa and elf activities in a window. As long as we linger at either locale, nary a sacred carol to be heard, just secular/rock/funny songs, nothing more traditional than `Carol of the Bells` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 5960, Dec 21 at 2310, no sign from VOT English to N America; something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2065 monitoring: confirmed Monday December 21 from 1900.7 on IRRS, 7290 via Bulgaria, via UTwente, good signal but always inevitable splash from 7280 Vietnam and 7295 East Turkistan, the latter already on at 1857 with CRI Chinese language lesson for English buffer. Tuned in at 1856.5 to open carrier, some hum and splash; 1859.9 IRRS ID, 1900.5 FSN headlines, then WOR. Before end trying Carlow, Eire Kiwi where there is less splash from 7295 but still plenty from 7280. Chopped off at 1929.7 before I can finish saying ``with a stan[dard disclaimer]``. Note: it still applies whether or not I am allowed to utter it completely. Confirmed UT Tuesday Dec 22 at 0120 the 0100 on WRMI 7780, fair on caradio as we are out viewing Xmas lites and sounds. Not confirmed UT Tue Dec 22 at 0330 on WRMI 5800 tho VG via Bonaire. At 0329 one episode of `Freedom Synergy Radio` ends and another starts, the pro-Taiwan, anti-Chicom show which seems to have been revived, not only at this time. System H sked still shows `Wavescan` at 0300 and WOR at 0330.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 2580, Dec 21 at 2319 UT, JBA carrier, possibly a second harmonic of 1290 or third of 860. I often tune the entire 2 MHz band hunting harmonix, ignoring numerous birdies which land on odd split channels, but MW harmonix are sparse; used to get a few Latin Americans as well as Unitedstatesians. The ambient noise level around here may be obscuring them, even worse tnx to Xmas. I urge those in quieter locations to seek them, as otherwise propagationally and lightningly this is peak time of year for 2 MHz DX (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 5785.8 & 5908.0, Dec 21 at 2311, similar level open carriers which do not seem to be birdies.

Both tests will be late night Friday/Early Saturday morning from 2 AM Eastern Time until 4 AM Eastern (0700-0900 UTC). So on Christmas night, after all the gifts are unwrapped and the grandkids have signed off from Zoom?put on some hot chocolate and join us in celebrating the 65th Anniversary of this great local station. Then do it again on New Year?s night after the bowl games have finished for the day. WCPH 1220 AM will be doing maintenance testing at their full daytime power of 1,000 watts using their daytime pattern. The station will transmit station identifications in voice, singing jingles, and Morse Code. In addition, they will transmit sweep tones, 1 kHz long tones, and other sound effects. WCPH is currently celebrating their 65th anniversary of serving Southeastern Tennessee. The station?s branding is ?Homegrown 1220? and ?Southeast Tennessee?s Oldies Station.? Their nighttime power is normally limited to 109 watts on a very crowded channel?so this test represents a unique chance to log this one. Joe Miller, KJ8O has designed a special 65th Anniversary QSL card, which will be available to those who successfully log this holiday test. Exact details on how QSL reports will be handled are still being worked out with the station, and will be announced shortly. For now, plan your holiday activities around these two great opportunities to log Homegrown 1220 in Etowah, TN! See you late night on Christmas Day! 73, Les Rayburn, N1LF 121 Mayfair Parka Maylene, AL 35114 EM63nf NRC & IRCA Courtesy Program Committee Chairman Member WTFDA, MWC Perseus SDR, Elad FDM-S2 SDR, AirSpy + Discovery, SDRPlay RSP-2 Pro, Sony XDR-F1HD [XDR Guy Modified], Dennon TU-1500RD, Sangean HDT-1X, Ray Dees RDS Decoders, Korner 9.2 Antenna, FM-6 Antenna, Kitz Technologies KT-501 Pre-amps, Quantum Phaser, Wellbrook ALA1530 Loop, Wellbrook Flag, Clifton Labs Active Whip. ?Nothing but blues and Elvis, and somebody else?s favorite song?? _._,_._,_ Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.

Replying to my previous note that it was missing: ``DMR from Brazil Out of Air for a Few Days --- As posted to the DRMNA io group today (21 December): "Tx on 11910 kHz is off for some repairs. To be back after Christmas." -- Richard Langley`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA. 6850, Dec 22 at 2316, Chinese, and also 6865 but marred by local? blob. Both in Aoki/NDXC as CNR1 jammer frequencies vs Sound of Hope (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13762 & 13638 approx., Dec 22 at 1550, +/- 62 kHz spurblobs with F# tone, Spanish modulation, only S3-S4 out of RHC 13700 which is S9+10/20 and overmodulated. Spurs nowhere near as strong as they can be; something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6937-USB, Dec 22 at 2307, pirate talk S4-S6 and soon some Nat King Cole songs, ``My Love For You`` at first thought sounded like ``Makin` Whoopee``; 2313 talking about NKC and more songs; off by 2337 recheck. These say https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,75870.0.html Zeke`s Attics [sic] was on 6937-USB from 2217 [sic: ``2017``] but no reports later than 2303, previously no NKC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SINGAPORE. 7355, Dec 22 at 1543, Korean Talk at S9/+10; YL seems to have a Japanese accent. BBC via Kranji at 1530-1830, 250 kW at 25 degrees carrying on USward (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 335-MCW kHz, Dec 22 at 0724 UT, ND beacon BV, which is 25 watts from Batesville - Almond, Arkansas. I was tuned to 333-USB. BTW, elevated extreme high local noise level blamed on Xmas lights, S9+10/20 over most of LW, MW and SW --- grrr! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5800, 5850, 5950, 7570, 7730, 9395, Dec 23 at 0257 I find open carriers/dead air on all these WRMI frequencies, and maybe also 7780 which is too weak to be sure, maybe JBM. Did not get 9955 checked in time. Automation computers all failed, yet power is on to run the transmitters? But at 0300 remodulating with TOMBS on 5850, 7570, 7730; Biermann on 5950 = YWS or T2P; 9395 at 0303 with hard-sell Medicare supplement spot ad, and 0304 ``back to the music`` = ``Wheels``. 5800 probably `Freedom Synergy Radio` contrary to sked, definitely by 0330 as in next item (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 5800, UT Wed Dec 23 at 0300, dead-air festival ends with something on this WRMI, but NOT `La Rosa de Tokio` as scheduled; at 0330 it`s `Freedom Synergy Radio`, in English with Spanish-accented pro-Taiwan, anti-ChiCom discussion, just like last night, when FSR blew away `Wavescan` at 0300 and WOR at 0330. All these are still on the System H schedule for 5800, but is revived FSR being stripped across here 0300-0400, five or even seven days a week? If so that also deletes: `Encore` on UT Thursday; `VORW` on UT Friday; `Encore` on UT Saturday, or as already publicized for holiday specialism, `TRSW` on Dec 26 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) UNIDENTIFIED. 6948-AM, Dec 23 at 0306-0317+, S8 of open carrier; pirate QRX or what? Instead of the usual one on 6860? No, that one is still on too (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 0446 UT December 23 End of Hard-Core-DX Digest, Vol 216, Issue 25 *********************************************
