** ALGERIA [non]. 9620, June 9 at 0602, RTA relay via FRANCE is starting with tweeting on own audio, self-imposed beep QRM as the defective ISS transmitter is now here; plus my own local bubbling from some device, quite a combination vs Arabic song (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA [and non]. CNR1 jammer survey, June 9, starting at 1351. Some of these are JBA carriers, so presumed, the stronger ones with metereadings, all in Chinese, no Firedragon heard; most against Sound of Hope, some USAGM: 13920 S6-S9; 13835; 13530 JBAC; 13160 JBAC; 13150; 12880 S5-S7; 12870 S5-S7; (12350? = 13740 Cuba minus 1390 KCRC local mix); 12190. By now it`s 1357 with time running out this hour; skipping past any 25m in-band: 11460 S9-S7; 11170; 11150; 11100; 10920. At 1417: 10820; 10960; 11070; 11100 S3-S6, 11440 S9-S6; 11460 S6-S9; 12190 JBAC; 12210 S5-S8; 12500 S6-S9; 12800 JBAC; 12820 JBAC; 12880 S6-S4. At 1423: 13020 S9/+10!; 14850 JBAC; 14920 JBAC. At 1428: 15110 S8/S9+10 vs VOA Philippines, but no sign of it, just this CNR1 // 13020. Scanned up thru entire 16 & 17 MHz band but none more until: At 1430: 17690, JBA but // 13020. I seldom check after 1500 but I do today tuning down from 17690 which is now off: at 1505, none higher than: 11440, 11100, 11070 (and two JBA local mixes: 10770 = 12160 WWCR minus 1390 KCRC; 10490 = 11880 CRI Cuba minus 1390 KCRC). So there you have a fraxion of the hyper-paranoid ChiCom attempt to block any dissent (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE [and non]. 9805, June 9 at 0604, something is here under heavy Cuban jamming, certainly not Radio Martí. It`s RFI in Hausa at 0600-0630! Yet another station which doesn`t have the sense to avoid any frequency ever jammed by Cuba, at any time, any year. EiBi shows one other daring to employ 9805, KBS World Radio four hours a day, one of them axually overlapping RM at 10-11. See also ALGERIA [non] (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Since I no longer have a regular DXLD sexion UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIALS, I can`t resist quoting this nice response, especially since some other guy brickbats me and wants me banned from some list: (gh) ``Glenn, I always enjoy your detailed reports, writing style, and commentary! This time, I particularly liked your discussion of “** U S A. 1270, June 2 at 2014 UT, in full daytime conditions, KRXO Claremore (Tulsa) OK silly sports talk at 5 kW with heavy SAH of exactly 1 Hz from another groundwaver.” Lotta good DX tech & thinking in that, good science and detective work, plus I so agree with your assessment of “stupid sportstalk” programming. It’s why I cannot sit on any station for more than a few minutes these days, except the rare ones that run music. Can’t stand the mindless talk of any flavor. // Thanks again for your informative/entertaining reports, always a good read! – 73s de Fred in Waynesburg, PA (with a wonderful ICOM 7300 I seldom get to use)`` Schroyer, IRCA iog. Tnx, Fred! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830, June 9 at 2228, VOT English to us is on, but JBM if not dead air. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. No RTTY QRM, anyway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 13565-CW, June 9 at 1424, K6FRC beacon in Patterson CA is JBA vs CODAR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2037 monitoring: confirmed Monday June 8 at 1801 on IRRS 7290 via BULGARIA. Recorded off UTwente SDR and spotchecked later, apparently intact for the next 29 minutes. I start setting up recording at 1702 when Iran`s Russian service from 1650 is running --- and I am already hearing the ``RTTY``-- like warble underneath, so that sound is NOT coming out of IRRS as I previously thought, but what? Is it an artifact at UTwente; or somesignal on 7290 at broader hours? I have not compared to what happen via other SDRs. BTW, Iran`s Russian hour on 7290 is somehow missing from Aoki/NDXC, but correctly in EiBi. [24 hours later, June 9 at 1750 during the break, I am trying other SDRs, such as Bucharest, and after a VG signal from Iran, there is definitely high-speed RTTY or something on 7291! What`s it doing in the broadcast band? Intruder! And there is now a weaker unID 7290 broadcast signal with songs, which unseems either VIRI or IRRS; only other 7290 scheduled is CNR1 Beijing site until 1805, Via UTwente, it`s JBA under IRRS open carrier before it modulate at 1759. Back to Bucharest, the unID has a 5+1 China-style timesignal at ToH. Talk resumes and it does seem to stop at 1805. IRRS is sufficient at Bucharest but much stronger at UTwente; `Wavescan` after 1830 Tue.] Now back to June 8: My recording starts at 1750 when the VIRI IS is briefly heard, and off*, this week in plenty of time before IRRS. The warble is still heard with neither station in the break. After a few minutes of open carrier, circa 1759, IRRS feed cuts on during a song; soon ``From south of the Alps in northern Italy, you are tuned in to I double-R S shortwave, address P O Box 10980 in N-20110 MILL-ah-noh, Italy`` and phone number; right into FSN Washington quick headlines before WOR. Also confirmed UT Tue June 9 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, VG at Utwente, weak ute ACI from 7784 evitable; direct check at 0129, S9 with different co-channel uteblaaps on and off.
