** CUBA [and non]. 6010, May 12 at 0048, S8 carrier is JBM, but //
undermodulated Chinese song on 5990, i.e. CRI relay, i.e. the leapfrog
mixing product I first reported weeks ago, over fulcrum 6000, another
Cuban transmitter at same site which is now also JBM during what
should be RHC English, but // 6165 is off so no comparison. 6010 also
has a weaker second carrier beating, most likely Brasil (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. 9925, UT Sun May 12 at 0025, JBA presumed The
Mighty Farty KBC via GERMANY, on new summer frequency, but again this
week useless. QSY to 7 MHz band! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6950-USB, May 12 at 0029, torchsong at S9+20, soon
pause for ``Wolverine Radio`` ID, then a boogie. Usual super-signal
for a pirate; 0037 ``I Saw the Light``, 0040 another ID; so figure the
keyword tonight is light; confirmed by several logs here:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,53918.0.html BTW, setting this on the PL-880 so I can keep bandscanning on the NRD
-545, I hit the USB button too long, activating `SYNCH`, which sounds
awful, confirming why I never use it intentionally (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6934.80V-AM, May 12 at 0054, music on poor unstable
signal. Log here says it`s Captain Morgan Shortwave

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** ROMANIA [and non]. 5980, UT Sun May 12 at 0027, heavy Cuban wall-
of-noise jamming against no TV Martà but instead poor RRI, which is
barely matchable to // 7420 rock music at S8-S9+20 in the clear.
Something`s always wrong at the DentroCuban JammingCommand. It`s about
time RRI caught on and made another change! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 6913-USB, May 12 at 0030, ``CQ Armed Forces Day Crossband,
November Whisky Victor Charlie, reply on 7.203-LSB``. Soon complains
about QRM there; I don`t hear any answers but there`s a pileup on
7201-LSB; is another event/contest running? AFD schedule shows: NWVC / LST-325 EVANSVILLE, IN (USB + CW)
1200Z-0400Z -- 4,007.0 6,913.0 9,988.5 13,974.0
Has good signal, but gone by 0055 check. I had forgotten this was AF Day [non], for crossband contacts, just
ran across NWVC intruding (hi) in the pirate band. I don`t have the
AFD sked handy so quickly bandscan likely areas for others, but find
only this as most have secured by 23 or 24 UT: 5330.5-USB, May 12 at 0043, ``CQ from November Sierra Sierra,
celebrating Armed Forces Day,`` in this case not crossband, since this
is one of the discrete ``60 m`` ham channels also available to nons: NSS / US NAVAL ACADEMY ANNAPOLIS, MD (USB + CW)
1300Z-0200Z -- 4,038.5 5,330.5 7,533.5 9,447.0 14,487.0 17,545.0 Bob from the US Naval Academy in Maryland, contacts David, ND1J in
Georgia, both about S7, much weaker than NWVC; mentions QSL route,
another call managing? (Online form for QSLs on website strictly excludes SWL overhearers!)

NSS still going at 0053 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1981 monitoring: confirmed Saturday

(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** U S A. 5085, Sat May 11 at 2340, `Theatre Organ in the Ozarx`
finally starts late after some hamstuff runover on WTWW-2: I
immediately start listening to stereo webcast instead. Bob Heil says
he is in Pleasant Hill, Missouri, in the Ozarx. Really? That town is a
suburb just SE of Kansas City. Boundaries of Ozarx are certainly
indistinct, but most maps show nowhere near this place, beyond
south/central Missouri. Maybe it`s just his Ozarx ``state of mind``.
And runs 35 minutes until 2415, back to hamstuff starting with
hardsell ad by Ted, tune out/turn off. BTW, altho I have not mentioned them lately, 5085 is still/always
accompanied by those weak parasitic spurs circa 5072.1 and 5097.9,
i.e. plus and minus 12.9 kHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 5915, May 12 at 0046, VP talk in unknown language, then
music with heavy beat. Only thing scheduled is Myanmar, unlikely but
sorta grayline; except Zambia was stuck on 24 hours for a while, but
have not seen any reports of that lately (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 7410, May 12 at 0028, dead air at S7. HFCC has something
from Nauen at 0030-0130, so what is it, really? No listings in EiBi or
NDXC/Aoki; but all three have VOA Thailand in Burmese until 0030,
which I rather doubt this be over here. Moving on, did not catch
anything further (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) This report dispatched at 0241 UT May 12
