** EGYPT. 9439.995, Nov 3 at 2201, R. Cairo, news in English, lofi and
somewhat distorted but tolerable modulation, S9+30 into UTwente.
2232-2241 Qur`aning snippets and lessoning in English, translating?
Violating Separation Of Mosque And State. After all, the Fribbath has
just passed. Distorted music, 2243 s/off, more distorted music to
2244.5 silence, to 2245* off. At least for B23, there is no more BBC
to collide on 9440 at 22-23 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** FRANCE. 21640.12V, Nov 3 at 1515, JBA MiniTransAt marine weather
info from Issoudun, as always way off-frequency and constantly varying
up and down. Only other 13m signals are 21660 and 21485; see SUDAN
SOUTH [and non], and UNIDENTIFIED (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KOREA NORTH. 9445, Nov 3 at 0649, stilted English immediately
recognizable as VOK, also distorted, S2/S3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS. 11510, Nov 3 at 1528, talk and also
stronger 11550; I`m looking for Dengê Gel and Recep the Turkish
jammer, but EiBi shows both are R Free Asia in Korean at 15-17 via
TINIAN and SAIPAN respectively; did not realize they should be //
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** ROMANIA [and non]. 11930, Nov 3 at 0652, RRI English is JBA beneath
Cuban pulse jamming against no Martí ever at this hour (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 9690, Friday Nov 3 at 2300, token English from SNR,
timesignal, s/on with program preview, news. At 2317 it`s an interview
about the status of a lagoon at a national park in southern Spain due
to climate change, vs demands for more irrigation; S9+20/30 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SUDAN SOUTH [non]. 21485, Nov 3 at 1515, S6/S9 of talk but
modulation breaking up rapidly. Per EiBi this is R. Tamazuj based in
Holland, 1430-1600 via Issoudun, FRANCE. B23 Aoki misses this one
completely. To make it as obscure as possible, HFCC lists this only as
JRC in the Apd language. Only one of three 13mb signals along with
21640V also France, and 21660, see UNID (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TIBET [non]. 12125, Nov 3 at 1542, S8/S9 Chinese mixing with
another lang at equal level. It`s CNR1 jamming vs RFA Tibetan at 15-16
via TINIAN. The imperialist ChiCom occupiers could at least have the
courtesy to employ Tibetan language jamming but probably from outside
Tibet due to skipzone (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 9700, Nov 3 at 0652, S6/S8 talk sounds more Turkish than
Japanese. TRT at 310 degrees sked 04-07; NHK at 305 degrees at 05-08
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.017, Nov 3 at *2304, VOT cuts on late, JIP
news in English, S9+30/35 into UTwente. Something`s always erroneous
at Emirler. I was listening from 2253 on 5960.000 to snippets of
Chinese martial music cutting on and off, i.e. PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi,
nominal start 2300 per EiBi, from EAST TURKISTAN, land of imperialist
ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems. But once TRT is
on, it obliterates XJPBS which was only S9/+10. Almost; still audible
as an understation during pauses. Unfortunately VOT suffers from a
constant squeal, like WEWN. I`d rather not listen. In background at
2314, I recognize the 2-minute multilingual ID filler reel. By 2338
drifted to 5960.018. At 2340 I turn on UTwente`s Autonotch, but moxnix
as the squealing is not a constant pitch. Narrow filter to 2.15 kHz
rids it but makes what`s left even more lofi. 2352 s/off sked as usual
mentions only 4 *other* English broadcasts in jumbled order, never
this very one: 1330 on 13635, 1930 on 6050, 2130 on 7285, 1730 on
9660. Wait a minute: 2130 is supposed to be on 9610, while 7285 is at
0400! I bet this never gets corrected in the next pentamonth. And
still going at 2400 opening extraneous German. At 2417 I realize
that`s Chinese again instead of German, so TRT has turned off in the
last few minutes (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 356 MCW kHz, Nov 3 at 0704 UT, ND beacon ODX is JBA vs S9
line noise level here which is worst on LW, making it a struggle to
hear any beacons. 25 watts from Ord, Nebraska (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [non]. 11870, Nov 3 at 1530, ``Welcome to the Voice of
America in Burmese``, i.e. Myanmarianese; S5/S6. I thought he said
Chinese but Burmese listed: one of those ``-ese`` langs. This also
explains why it`s not being jammed. Via Tinang, PHILIPPINES, of course
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2215 monitoring: confirmed Friday
November 3 at 2157 the 2130 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1323 kHz, S9+17
into nearby Noale SDR, and no CCI audible; new shifted time. However,
some storm crashes from NW Greece/SerboCroatia coast right across
Adriatic. Flooding in Tuscany must not have reached to Villa Estense.
Also confirmed Friday November 23 at 2200 first SWBC on WRMI 9955,
S9/S7 into Bonaire SDR with Cuban pulse jamming. From next week: 2300.

** U S A. 7490 -74 Hz = 7489.924, UT Sat Nov 4 from 0000, WBCQ,
S9+20/30 into Maryland SDR, a new `AAAWWW`, this time as a Christian
of Jewish heritage, Allan is heartbroken about the rise of
anti-Semitism on campuses. Wars in Ukraine and Israel: all ``because
of a stolen elexion``, Angela asserts. And Democrats = Communists =
Marxists = Satanists, right? `Bye (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 1682.7 & 1637.3 approx., Nov 3 at 0700 UT, matching
spurblobs, both about 22.7 kHz from 1660, i.e. out of WTOU ``The
Touch``, Kalamazoo, as recently discussed in this IRCA thread:
https://groups.io/g/IRCA/topic/101970919
The lower one obscured here by local on 1640 (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK,
WOR)
** VANUATU [and non]. 9960, Nov 3 at 0650, RV music S3/S4, unusually
stronger than 9955 WRMI which is a JBA carrier beneath Cuban jamming.
I`m hearing 9960 just about every night before 0700 tho not always
reported (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** VATICAN [non]. 11700, Nov 3 at 1529, S Asian lang, 1529 VR IS,
S5/S7. It`s Malayalam at 1510-1530, via USAGM Tinang, PHILIPPINES;
violating Separation Of Church And State. Why is the USG propagating
one particular RCC sect? O yeah, it`s an ``exchange`` as if USAGM need
relays via Vatican (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier check Nov 3 at 0710 UT:
JBA on 621 and 711 kHz, surely RNE Canarias and neighborly Moroccan
from occupied ``Spanish West Africa`` as in mwlist. Such ending in --1
are axually easier to spot than further splits, since the --0 N
American stations provide no splash and quieten the frequency when
tuning USB. Same would apply to those in --9 if I ever tuned in LSB
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 21660, Nov 3 at 1515, algo here one of 3 sigs on 13m
besides 21485, 21640V. Aoki shows BBC Somali at 14-16 via UAE but only
on Day 7 = Saturday, and this is Friday. HFCC and EiBi show nothing
after 1500 but until then BBC Somali at 14-15 is via Vatican M-F, UAE
Sat/Sun; really, why? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
