** CHINA. 18900, June 10 at 0426, JBA carrier; and 18970 Chinese S2/S4. Only activity on this SWBC band, CNR1 jammers against Sound of Hope; in fact the only two listings in EiBi and Aoki. See also UNIDENTIFIED for many more on 17 & 21 MHz bands (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11850, June 10 at 0433, RHC Spanish, S9+30/40 but very suptorted. This transmitter always flanked by plus/minus 10 kHz spur carriers on 11840 & 11860, but now with supersignal fundamental, also detect further multiples of JBA spurs on: 11830 & 11870; and even weaker, 11820 & 11880. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA [and non]. 9790, June 10 at 0438, S9+35/50 of dead air except for some hum, atop French direct from RFI, which surges when Cuba fades. 9790 is the CRI relay supposed to be in Cantonese 04-05 after English 03-04. Total failure! Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. Even worse, 9790 can be left on past 0600 as recently (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 6165, June 10 at 0443, RHC in wrong language, Spanish instead of English, leaving only 6000 for that. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** FRANCE. 11790, June 10 at 0431, S7/S9 Swahili: RFI direct at 0430-0500, off the back to here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** MADAGASCAR. 11825, June 10 at 0432, God stuff in English, S8/S9, i.e. African Pathways Radio on MWV. See also UNIDENTIFIED [and non] below (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 27184.5, June 10 at 2106 UT, country music on this CB channel, S9+25 steady and obviously local. Now some CBer has graduated to being a SWBC pirate; probably the same one previously blasting 27185v with carriers and tones. 2110 end of song and this turns out to be relay of local KOFM and is //103.1, as YL DJ starts interviewing Dan Schiedel [Shy-dell], exec director of United Way of NW Oklahoma, in Enid. Seems they are promoting a golf tournament. He used to be head of PBS in Oklahoma, OETA; then retired a few years ago, and we were surprised when he wound up in Enid. Still going with music at 2143. There was skip on busy CB channels 27025 & 27085, so KOFM relay may well have been DXable (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. RF 28, June 10 circa 1505 UT, some tropo enhancement on a few BAD VHF and UHF, channels, only this decoding as ION ``44`` which is: KTPX-TV Okmulgee. Rabbitears.info shows it 1000 kW ERP direxional NE for Tulsa market, hardly suitable for us, but commonly seen with a bit of trophelp (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SUDAN [non]. 11650, June 10 at 0430, S9/+20 African language, SSOB, then that wonderful ``Radio Dabanga`` singing ID. Via MADAGASCAR at 0430-0500, following Radio Tamazuj for Sudan South at 0330-0430; both 250 kW at 335 degrees, carrying on well to N America far beyond (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 28289.7 CW, June 10 at 2103, AL AL AL DE WJ5O/B WJ5O/B WJ5O/B, the OSOB as sporadic E is barely funxioning from Troy, Alabama.

Into Maryland SDR: 7730 S9+10/15; 5850 S9+5/20. Also confirmed UT Friday June 10 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, fair but noisy into Missouri SDR. Missed checking Fri June 10 at 1430 on WRMI 9955; anyone hear it? Confirmed Friday June 10 from 1815.4 on IRRS SW via Bulgaria 7290; and AM Italia, 1323 kHz only, no 918 or 207. 7290 fair via NW Ireland SDR; 1323 via nearby Noale SDR, S9; both noisy. Tuned in both earlier: 7290 from 1756 only with Chinese, 1800 timesignal, *1800:52 or so, IRRS cuts on with Feature Story News from Washington, in progress; while 1323 was playing soul music before 1800, then IRRS sign-on and FSN, including Spotlite segment at 1803-1804.5; 1805 more IRRS ID with the PO Box in Milano they otherwise say not to use; and no more News in Brief from the UN. This week it`s the start of TUC Radio, interview with Noam Chomsky about Ukraine, chopped off at 1815 for IRRS ID and then WOR. I am humbled by IRRS demonstrating that what I have to say is more important than Noam. Busy, I don`t track whether WOR play to completion at 1844, but it usually does unlike the filler fragments before and after. [TUC Radio deserves a full slot of its own. A long-running US leftish show, stands for Time of Useful Consciousness. Read all about where that comes from, linx to podcasts including the Noam episode originally May 24: https://tucradio.org/ IIRC, it used to be on RFPI in Costa Rica, but I think not on WRMI or WBCQ, let alone 100% far-right gospel huxter stations. TUC emphasizes it`s *free* via Pacifica among other sources -- gh] [As for FSN, I`m not sure I get their business model: lots of bureaux around the world but costs stations only $ 15 a month to get it: https://www.featurestorynews.com/ -- gh] WOR 2142 also confirmed June 10 at 2036 the 2030 on AM Italia 918 only, S9 into Noale.
