SAUDI ARABIA   Since about a week back, SBA via MOCI Riyadh-ARS has a
technical problem with their shortwave feeder lines, between Broadcast
center house and curtain antennas.

The audio feed interrupts the two 16-meter broadcasts at a very rapid ritmo.
17740.020 kHz  BSKSA Riyadh 1st Arabic program, though HQ prayer 
performed at 08.33 UT, S=9+20dB here in central Europe,  17730even 
faulty ritmo, also same program on S=9+15dB level in southern Germany. 
 15380.057 odd fq very same program of Friday prayer noted.
KUWAIT  15515even fq Radio Kuwait from Kabd site, also HQ Friday prayer 
on air, S=8 sidelobe signal at 08.38 UT, requested at 59degr azimuth 
towards CeAsia, Arabic at 05-09 UT.
TURKEY  15350.020  TRT Emirler in Turkish, nominal 07-14 UT, only poor 
S=7 signal on mainlobe 310degr towards WeEUR at 08.42 UT.
KOREA  D.P.R.  15245.229 kHz, much much odd fq of Voice of Korea radio 
from Kujang site, at S=8 signal into WeEUR, what else: shrill ladies 
singer group chorus, in Russian sce. at 08.45 UT on Dec 4th.

INDIA   15209.978 kHz  typical 'TX foot stamp' from Goa Panaji, empty 
carrier at 08.50 UT switched on and off. Maybe on maintenance work.
Strange my very strong assumption, test signal experiment heard on 15 
MHz from AIR Goa Panaji on the typical usual frequency deviation on that 
channel from Goa India.
and some logs from Cape Canaveral FL state USA:
BRAZIL   5939.472 kHz much odd fq  BRA  Radio Voz Missionaria BrasPort 
language sce, S=5 or -88dBm in Florida state at 08.08 UT.
MEXICO  6184.972 kHz  XEPPM  Radio Educacion Mexico D.F. seldom strong 
signal, as at this UT morning, even at nearby Florida state, S=9+25dB 
broad signal string visible at Perseus software display, 08.15 UT on Dec 
4th.
USA   9330even WBCQ via new 300 kW Thales Ampegon unit installation, 
English sermon heard, but suffered heavily by nearby UTE signal on
9327.812 kHz, some 2188 Hertz WHISTLE tone interference disturbed the 
WBCQ sermon consumption, for instant in Florida state area. S=9+20dB 
signal at 08.22 UT.
[selected SDR options, span 12.5 kHz RBW 15.3 Hertz]
