** CHINA. 12820, May 17 at 1439 JBA in Chinese? A Sound of Hope
frequency *jammed by CNR1 -- with Korea North so strong on 11710, I`m
seeking these above & below 11 and 13 MHz where many are listed and
used to be rampant, but this is the only one now (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 6030, May 16 at 2342, unusually quiet frequency,
except for storm noise, no Martí and no jamming despite not starting
until *0000. HFCC shows until 0400*, plus one more hour on Day 2 =
Monday after which jamming continues against nothing, not even CFVP
Calgary, which needs some minor repairs but not without turning off AM
1060 CKMX which they don`t want to do (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6100, May 17 at 0515, this RHC is off in English; remaining
on 6000 & 6165 which are OK, 6060 a bit rough but not humbuzzy; and
5040 in Spanish. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) ** CUBA. 9700, May 18 at 0219, RHC Spanish here ex-9710, // weaker
9535 and many more of various less weaks: 6060, 13740, 11670, 11850,
5040. That takes care of the collision with CRI to Latin America at
00-03 via Kashgar, land of ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other
Moslems. Could RHC have got around to reading my previous advisories?
Now the collision should be with Romania in Spanish for only one hour,
this one at 02-03; but no sign of it now. May be one of the
temporarily? silent transmitters misleading RHC into a supposed
opening. We shall hear. Span of 9710 was allegedly 21-05 & 11-15, so
if same on 9700, another Rospania clash would be 23-24. There is no
reason for same change to be made both morning and evening, but I
shan`t be surprised if RHC matutina also lose a dekaHz to 9700 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** KOREA NORTH. 11710, May 17 at 1440, sweet music from the workers`
paradise, during VOK French hour to N America, S9-S7 and // 9435 is
S5-S6; but 13760.2 is a JBA carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 9830, May 16 at 2200, VOT sounds on but JBA (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR) ** U S A. 17530, Mon May 17 at 1404, strong open carrier cuts off
shortly after tune-in. No doubt a routine 10 AM test of a VOA
Grimesland transmitter prior to scheduled usage from 1700. Also by
USAGM via Vatican, violating Separation of Church and State, until
1400; then an hour off except for São Tomé on weekends; from 1500 more
Botswana and ST before 1700 switch to GB (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2086 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
May 16 at 2000 on IRRS via Italia-AM, 918 kHz, VG via nearby Noale
SDR. NOT confirmed, Sun May 16 at 2200 on Area 51/61 via WBCQ 6159.9
because it`s OFF the air as are the other two WBCQs: 7489.9+, no UBMP;
and 9330.00, no wacko flat-earthers. Also no trace of them at Virginia
SDR. Blitzortung shows a small storm right around Monticello into NB,
but no recent or current lightning strixe. Must have closed down as
precaution, but streaming of WOR and UBMP is still working, where I
would listen anyway. Still off SW at 2249, but by 2257, 9330 and 7490
are back on; a JBA carrier on 6160: that would be Iran in Arabic from
2250: another reason for WBCQ to get off 6160 permanently, like shift
to 6155 as I keep proposing. By 2318, 6160- is on with music at
S9/+10, carrier offset minus 108 = 6158.892 kHz. WOR 2086 confirmed Sun May 16 at 2300 on WRMI 7780, S9+10/15 into
Virginia. Also confirmed UT Mon May 17 at 0030 on WRMI 7730, VG S9+20/30
direct. Also confirmed UT Mon May 17 at 0130 on WRN North America webcast. Also confirmed UT Mon May 17 at 0230 on WRMIs: 7780 VP/JBA S7 vs storm
noise; 5800 S9+20 direct but not overcoming nearby storms. Next:
1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 7780 to NE
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
2200 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955 [jammed?] to SSE
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts:
