Spanish as usual on 6120, 6140, 6150 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDONESIA. 9526-, VOI still just a smidgin below 9526, not missing this Sunday, Dec 27 at 1426, but very undermodulated, presumed Malay (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SWEDEN. 9400, George Wood opening R. Sweden in English, Dec 27 at 1430, with a retrospective of the Indian Ocean tsunami, which was five years ago already, and Sweden`s involvement with relief; fair with echo, 85 degrees from Hörby; better signal from same site was R. Netherlands on 15595 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 15550-USB, not hearing WJHR around 1500 UT, either not on yet or not propagating yet, but Dec 26 at 1747 check it was in well enough with F&B preacher, 1802 same ID recording as originally heard Dec 8, which always seems to be two minutes late. Also Dec 27 with F&B at 1735 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 15825, WWCR with good signal for a change, Dec 27 at 1735, indicating some sporadic E has appeared.
