** CHINA. 12500 & 11100, July 9 at 1411, only CNR1 jammers, JBA and presumed, none others found in the WOOB 10s, 11s, 12s or 13s. Likely many more were around before 1400* (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11631 & 11709, July 10 at 0218, a new set of S9 RHC spurblobs! plus and minus 39 kHz from 11670, which is S9+20 and distorted. F# tones also audible on fundamental and spurs, like in the mornings circa 13700; had also heard them circa 15370 afternoon, evidently all same transmitter, but the offset quite different here. Also a trace of second-order with F# circa 11748 and third, 11787, but could not be sure of a minus match on 11592. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MEXICO. 6185-, July 9 at 0628, XEPPM, off-frequency-minus at S9-S7, and more modulation than usual after JBA carrier yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NIGERIA. 7254.9, July 9 at 0627, VON is back on nominal channel today after excursion to 11769.9 yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** NORTH AMERICA. 6945-AM, July 10 at 0240 rock music, S9 including heavy storm noise level; YL ID sounds like ``You are tuned to ---- dot.com``; another at 0254 and music stops by 0300*.

Not NZ this early, still on much weaker 13840 with someething else. Answer at 0229 ID: RRI in Spanish, and then found //7375 almost as good (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 28284.8-CW, July 9 at 1449, VVV N9TNY/B EN51, relog of Geneva IL beacon, slow WPM and long pause between iterations. So Geneva already has a SW station before any WPBC. 28286.5-CW, July 9 at 1455, WB0BIN, beacon alternating fast and slower WPMs. WJ5O roster shows: ``28.2865 WBØBIN C SABIN, MINNESOTA # 7W, GP VERTICAL New 22 April 18`` --- Sabin is just SE of Moorhead-Fargo.

(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 9955, July 9 at 1417, WRMI is on with algo in Spanish, off by 1443 recheck; contrary to own schedule showing WRMI-3 goes beyond 1400 only on weekends, and the webcast carries Freedom Synergy Radio M-F at 1400-1500. I suppose that could have been partially in Spanish, altho when we first monitored it evenings, it kept stuck to English (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15610, July 9 at 2125 check, WEWN English is still AWOL for at least the sixth day in a row; ditto the night frequency 9385 at 0225 July 10 check.
