** CUBA [and non]. 9710, Dec 22 at 0554, RHC in Spanish S9+20. 6000 is

** U S A. 4840, Dec 22 at 0611, WWCR with a preacher mentioning his
CST/EST times on station after station, domestic and then SW,
including WWCR on 12.160, 3.215, and 7.465! MHz, 11-12 on Sundays for
FE/Pacific. As on current sked for 4840 WWCR-3 at 05-06 UT Mon, `The
Church of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith` with S.C.
Johnson, Philadelphia. Leads to this (c) 2016:
https://apostolic-faith.org/broadcasts.asp
with all four SW frequencies long outdated, but not including 7465:
WWCR 9475, WWCR 3210, KWHR 17510, WHRA 17655! Searching my archive for
7465 WWCR gets only a hit in the year 2010! When there was concern
about a conflict with Albania (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 700, Dec 22 at 0606 UT, WLW with EAS test, tones/blaaps,
0607 into `Red Eye Radio` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 780, Dec 22 at 0740, WBBM succeeds this time with `StarDate`
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1420 kHz, Dec 22 at 0728 UT, ID as 107.9 and 1420, KVKM??
underneath a strongersig. NRC AM Log shows only 107.9 correlation on
1420 is KJCK Junxion City KS, U2 1000/500. As Log editor Wayne Heinen
points out, there could be others in a group altho not shown in the
entry. But by proximity I suspect it is KJCK (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1700, Dec 22 at 0727 UT, topsig is open carrier dead air.
Very likely KKLF 5/1 kW Richardson TX, when modulating as R. Jalape?o
in Spanish. Remember when MM = Monday morning was a thing for MWDX?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VANUATU. 7260, Dec 22 at 0549, JBA carrier, presumably RV already
as it`s close enough to sunset there. Would be interesting to know how
early it can fade in eastward. However, EiBi shows one other on 7260
at 03-12: Urumqi, but close to midday there (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1360, Mon Dec 22 from before 0607 UT, very strange
lexure about black holes, rays of sun, plasma, neon & helium in
ionosphere, krypton, the Moon is not a solid object! Exaggerated
professorial? accent with music background. Still pseudo-scientific at
0617. I hope this be entertainment rather than something serious.
Dominant signal on frequency, so unlikely *KLSD* San Diego. Could be
departure from a primary format, late on a weekend. Ruling out Spanish
and religious? Last logged on 1360 was KSCJ Sioux City IA, Dec 7 at
0753, q.v. with a typo as ``1300`` instead of 1360. Is NWS/TLK with 5
kW night lobe ~thisaway. Full program sked at
https://kscj.com/full-programming-schedule/
shows `Hollywood 360` UT Mon 04-06, but from 0600 supposedly Red Eye
Radio. This already shows only what`s in it next week Dec 27:
https://www.hollywood360radio.com/this-week-on-h360/
My closest 1360 is KPHN El Dorado KS but it`s EWTN, 240 watts at
night, lobe thisaway but hardly dominant (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9250 USB, Dec 22 at 0552, 2-way JBA, probably Spanish
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
