** ALGERIA. 17600, Tue Apr 30 at 0640, Ifrikya FM well enough S3/S7
direct to detect any English as on some previous occasions around this
hour: no, in French; 0643 Arabic? but Frenchish slogan ``La Voix
Africaine``. 0647 French and no English by 0658. Here`s another time,
April 30 from Denmark: ``Ifrikiya FM from Algeria has been heard in
English for several days now at 1800-1810 UTC on 15160 and 17600 kHz.
Great reception. Best 73s, Stig Hartvig Nielsen, Hard-Core-DX`` (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA [and non]. 15410, Apr 30 at 1445, S7/S9 two signals mixing.
EiBi shows CNR1 jamming and Sound of Hope, Taiwan (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** CUBA. 11760, Apr 30 at 0640, RHC Spanish on air much later than
normal, S9+20 with ``A ver, Iberia``, revolutionary stuff. Not on 6000
or any other known frequency now. Something`s always wrong at RHC
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** JAPAN. 11815, Tue Apr 30 at 1454, NHKWRJ IS, S3/S6. Filling
1450-1500 gap on weekdays between Burmese and Japanese. But no sign of
CRI English via Urumqi, East Turkistan until 1457 which is reported to
ruin NHK English at 1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 11935, Apr 30 at 1933 quick check of UTwente,
horrible buzz still roaring (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 11785.003+, Apr 30 at 2200, VOT English not off the air,
S9+45/50 into UTwente, slight overmodulation distortion. This time
news with W badax and M OKax alternating. Too much news and severe
weather going on locally to listen intently, so hit and miss: 2218
`That`s Why`, badax on why nims hibernate. 2223
``with-you-every-hour`` promo. 2245 about geomarked products. 2246 TRT
World promo. 2251 multi-lingual ID filler reel. 2253 badax s/off for
1230 only on 17620. 2254 IS for about ten notes before chopoff, no
finesse. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. 10129 CW, Apr 30 at 1437, KD6WW call only, repeated at
irregular intervals and speeds, as if hand-keyed. Trying to beacon?
QRZ.com: ``KD6WW USA flag USA, BRUCE D LEE, 17520 KENNISON LN, LODI,
CA 95240, USA`` -- I habitually check 10125 for anomaloUSB phone
Aussie ragchewers on 29m, not reheard for long time now. Nor HK3QQ
with his keyboard-order CW letterism with errors (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
** U S A. 17690, Tue Apr 30 at 1850, no signal of R. Martí Ukraine
beam from Grimesland into UTwente nor direct. Has it been canceled?
Original 17680 at 17-21 still occupied by NHK Japanese via France
until 1900. Bandscan direct finds Martí nowhere else on 21, 17, 15, 13
or 11 MHz bands except the Cuban beams on 13605, 11930, 11860 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2240 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday April 30 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S9/+10 into Querétaro SDR. Good
thing I checked anyway after removing it from sked due to previous
week`s performance and WRMI grid, which still shows Wavescan at this
time, altho on Apr 23, neither one aired! Apparently I should resume
it on WOR sked as ``irregular``.
Also confirmed Tuesday April 30 at 1300 on WRMI 9955, S6/S9 direct, no
jamming audible. This one starts immediately after music, no ID break.
Next:
2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
2330 UT Tuesday SW Radio, Germany 3975
1930 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160

** U S A. 4840, Apr 30 at 0703, S9+50 of dead air yet again from
WWCR-3, which seems to fail about once a week. But there are carrier
peaks at various spots just above and below. Must be quite a sight on
a visible display. This seems to correlate with TOMBS, but now it
happens even without any audible program modulation! I measure these,
but they are unstable, coming and going and jumping around as if
influenced by the lacking modulation: 4832.4, 4833.23, 4834.46,
4834.92; 4843.70, 4844.71, 4845.19 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** UZBEKISTAN. 15710.05, Apr 30 at 1448 JBA algo S6/S8, listed as AWR
Mandarin via Tashkent. Something`s wrong: normally off-frequency
minus, not plus. I assume the ChiCom don`t bother to jam this (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
