** EGYPT. 9899.58v, Dec 7 at 2106, no signal from R. Cairo into
UTwente, again today like yesterday. Tho English starts at 2115, it`s
normally been on air by 2100 if active. I don`t check again later, but
Richard Langley, NB, reports, ``Just a weakish carrier today (7
December) on 9899.6 ± kHz when checked using the U. Twente SDR at
about 2145 UT with no detectable modulation. Glenn: AMSync does lock
in if you key in 9899.6 kHz rather than 9900 kHz -- Richard Langley``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ETHIOPIA [and non]. 15155-15160-15165, Dec 7 at 1527, DRM-like
noise, but nonesuch scheduled; QRM from an AM understation JBA. Or
vice versa! That`s Dimtse Woyane, 15-16 via FRANCE in TIGrinya, one of
the clandestines which did not make it into last year`s WRTH 2021 with
only two others under Ethiopia, and two under Eritrea. There should be
a lot more in the 2022.

I first noticed the edge of this on 15170 checking for Kashmir non.
The `DRM` is obviously jamming by Ethiopia. Via Carlow, Eire, SDR I
try 15160 in DRM. Nothing decodes. 15160 direct at 1554 bears some
weak music with not much jamming. It`s questionable how effective this
Djamming could be in Ethiopia, if transmitted from there, due to skip
zone. Could this be contracted out to some other country at a
favorable one-hop skip distance? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KASHMIR [non]. 15170, Tue Dec 7 at 1525, just in case I am checking
whether Kashmir Civitas be still on air after two weeks absence since
last heard Nov 9 after 1600. Had been one real UT hour earlier at
1500, while Europe was on DST, nonsensically changed to 1600 UT in
November. No, it`s not, checked via UTwente; and not at 1607 recheck
either. However found something interesting nearby, see ETHIOPIA
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [and non]. 5960, Dec 7 at 2304, NO signal from VOT English
into UTwente; something`s always erroneous at Emirler. But before I
tune out, it chops ON S9+10 at *2307 during Turkish music, then chop
to proper feed in English during news. Soon press review and 2312 the
COVID-19 PSA. None earlier but now I also hear an understation,
CCCCCCI = ChiCom Chinese language co-channel interference. In fact,
EiBi shows that PBS Xinjiang, Urumqi, East Turkistan, land of
imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems, does
start at the odd time of *2310 on 5960. After music break, another
feature starts at 2318, something about science fixion novels, but by
the YL announcer with very heavy accent, and I give up trying to
follow her. Sorry, but you need better language skills to be an
international broadcaster.

When 2300 English be missing from 5960, check previously scheduled
frequencies for a transmitter overrun, which the sloppyrators
accomplish all too frequently at other times. HFCC shows supposed to
stop by 2130 are 9610, 9625 and 5970; until 2200 on 5980, 6120.

But wait, there`s more: rechecking 5960 at UTwente, Dec 8 at 0005,
just Chinese but VOT chops back on in German! The bonus broadcast
following English, which is not supposed to be on SW at all. It`s
S9+20 and +16 Hz offset. 0014 still going with Türkisch musik, surged
to S9+45! 0015 pronouncing the TRTWorld website, and a feature for
Reisenden. Not closely monitored but I think German lasted most of the
hour; only Chinese by 0105. Of course, if extra German ever happen on
UT Sunday it will collide with The Mighty KBC, which must enjoy taking
such risks, B-season after season (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2115 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday December 7
at 2330 on WRMI 9955, VG S9+10/15 into KB0FX SDR in MO and no jamming
audible; but by 0003 Dec 8 has faded completely out, probably earlier,
leaving only some weak jamming to be heard. 9395 WRMI has also
vanished by now. Next:

1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW, 5010 to S
