doing considerable monitoring of 11935. Ron Howard
https://medxr.blogspot.com/2024/06/11935-khz-strange-goings-on.html
Today's update of his monitoring:
``UPDATE (June 4, 2024 @0409 UTC) --- Today, Radio San'na signed
on again at 04:00:30 UTC with a strong signal plus buzzing. The
buzzing started at EXACTLY the same time as the station. The chances
of jamming starting at exactly the same time as the transmission are
extremely low. This seems to indicate to me that this is, indeed, an
intermittent transmitter fault. 73 and wishing you good, buzz-free
DX!! Rob Wagner VK3BVW````` (via Glenn Hauser, WOR)
