** CUBA. 13632 approx., Oct 24 at 1454, RHC spurblob with F# tone is
JBA, so weak because 13700 AM fundamental is also weak, S1/S3. Then
found an even weaker match at +68 kHz, 13768 approx. They run past
1501 but all gone by 1524 recheck. It`s been months since I`ve logged
such blobs plus multiples further out, but at least they`re trying.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5025 & 5040, Oct 24 at 2318, Rebelde & RHC are still off,
nothing into Bonaire SDR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NIGERIA. 7255-, Oct 24 at 0624, VON is on at S9+10/20 direct but
just barely modulated. No signals into Canary SDR at 1730-1820, 1846
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Oct 24 at 2032, again today no signal from REE to N
America direct. Also at 2225 during token English Monday, nor audible
on 15520, 11940 direct. At 2300 I`m on Maryland remote just in time to
hear good S6/S7 signal on 11670 as it`s signing off, 2301 into earworm
IS: for Africa, normally the weakest over here, but now the only one
audible, so 11940 at least is also AWOL. Something`s not right at
Noblejas (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2161 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
October 23 at 2000 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1323 kHz only, S9+5/15, over
lite CCI presumably Smooth Radio, Brighton, England.

Also confirmed UT Monday October 24 at 0030 on WRMI 5950, S9/+10 into
Maryland SDR. 7780 still not restored. Just in case, I checked all
WRMI frequencies for WOR at 2230 and 2330 Oct 23, but nowhere.

Also confirmed UT Monday October 24 from 0301.9 on WBCQ Area 51, S8/S9
on 6160 minus 64 Hz = 6159.936 into Maryland SDR following ancient
show talking about calling 5.1 MHz broadcasts ``Area 51``, and WBCQ
singing ID. Next:

** U S A [and non]. 5850, Oct 23 at 2335, WRMI with opera in Italian;
i.e. R. Prague Int`l relay in `English`, usual Sunday classical music
default. But via Maryland remote, there is a `roar` in the background.
At first I wonder if a transmission defect, while // 5010 has no such
roar. Still so on 5850 after 0000 Oct 24. And the roar is much
stronger vs WRMI at Bonaire remote. So I am suspecting Cuban jamming
altho that`s nonsensical with no exile programming on 5850 and very
little Spanish otherwise. However, there is no pulsing in the roar as
usually the case of Cuban jamming. Some utility QRM? At 0042 direct to
OK, here in the boresight of WRMI`s very strong signal, I don`t hear
any. Needs further investigation!

I meant to check 5850 the next day Oct 24 just before *2200, but
missed it; circa 2030 there was nothing unusual. I am checking remotes
at 2302: Bonaire OK at first until I compare to 5950 & 5010 which are
less noisy. By 2320 into Maryland, 5850 again has some background
noise like yesterday.

BTW, for a while WRMI itself was carrying R. República at 0300-0400
three nights a week on 5800, risking attracting jamming there, and
beyond those hours; but has vanished from current skedgrid. B-22
relays via FRANCE are already on the sked showing Cuba target on 9490,
but not what (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9955, Oct 24 at 1531, this WRMI is off, while 9395 & 9455
are on and nominal. Ditto at 2031, 2229. Had been 24 h but skedgrid
now shows a gap at 15-21. Could be that #3 is OK but logistically
needs to be off while other antenna lines are being repaired (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 9330.114, Oct 24 at 1532, WLCR/WBCQ is on in English but
still way off-frequency. 2030 recheck it`s off again, repair work?
