** CHINA [and non]. 18970, Apr 29 at 0357, JBA carrier with flutter,
no doubt CNR1 jammer against Sound of Hope - the only usage of this
ITU official extra SWBC band, except maybe a Europirate per EiBi.
Altho this about 15.8 meters, never called the 15m band, since hams
mislabel 21+ MHz as 15 instead of 14. And 16m already applies to 17
MHz BC band. What to do?? I think hams also consider their lower 18
MHz hamband as ``17m`` instead of 16 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [non?]. 17615, Apr 29 at 0635, S9/+10 of Chinese music, the
SSOB as I am checking 17600 for English from Algeria, but much weaker.
Aoki & EiBi show CRI vs CRI this hour: German via Urumqi, and Mandarin
to SE Asia via Kunming. Should have listened longer for talkieclue
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Apr 29 at 0331, NO signal from RHC English on its
primary frequency. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CUBA. 11845, Apr 29 at 0341, pulse jamming against nothing, a R.
Martí daytime frequency abandoned several years ago. Heavier
wall-of-noise jamming against nothing on 11860 and 11930, current RM
channels but not at night. Think of how many undernourished Cubans
could be fed for the cost of all this nonsense! Nor is there and
justification for jamming against something (Glenn Hauser OK, WOR)

** CUBA [and non]. 15230, Apr 29 at 0351, S9+10/20 of open
carrier/dead air: got to be RHC, where something is always wrong.
15770 WRMI also propagating well now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** EAST TURKISTAN. 17655, Apr 29 at 0354, Hindi signing off,
pronouncing in English ``China Radio International``, ``cri.cn``, many
``kHz``, S9/+20 with flutter, way off S Asian target from
Kashi-Saiba/Kashgar. This dept hasn`t got the message it`s now ``CGTN
Radio``, how cumbersome (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 17675, Apr 29 at 0400 after rock music, timesignal and
RNZ News, S9+20/30. I had just calibrated my watch against WWVH, so I
can assert, ``Don`t you believe the RNZ timesignals!`` About one
second later than WWVH.

Here`s a story about them, but not dealing with this issue:

via Steve VE6WZ, IRCA iog (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6925.36 AM, Apr 29 at 0333, JBA pirate music, OPOB.
These say it`s Boat Anchor Radio:
https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,129052.0.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. It`s notable that two `regular` pirates have been
missing lately:
7475, Station YHWH, including no signal Apr 29 at 0338 direct. If &
when it`s on, Rick Barton, AZ, will surely catch it. His last report
was: March 22 at *0245-0403*. My last log was on the surprise daytime
frequency 15409.981, March 4 at 1652.

And 11514.9, Hikari FM, no signal Apr 29 at 0338 direct. Rick Barton
logged it almost every day or night, March 14-22. My last log was
March 22 at 1706-1857+ on 11514.90v (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 15325-15330-15335, Apr 29 at 0352, DRM noise S9+10. It`s
RRI Tsiganeshti, English to S Asia at 03-04. If you are ignoring the
cedillas, you must respell it this way fonetikaly (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** SPAIN. 17855, Mon Apr 29 at 2200, token English from SNR, VG direct
into portable, lead news is that PM Sánchez will not be resigning.
Instead of straight talk, newscasts have music bed and well-integrated
clips in Spanish then translated, Amy and Marilyn alternating. Feature
from 2206 is about housing shortage, interviewing someone from
tenants` union (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** SUDAN SOUTH [non]. 11650, Apr 29 at 0340, S9+20/30, English word
``constitution`` mentioned several times; guess there is no such
concept/word in Juba Arabic, since this is R. Tamazuj at 0315-0430 via
MADAGASCAR, so USward beyond (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TAIWAN. 21800.08 approx., Apr 29 at 0404, Chinese S4/S8 with
Doppler flutter. Presumed Sound of Hope rather than a jammer, since
it`s so far off-frequency. How much power can SOH run from Miaoli
site? WRTH page 579 says all about 1 kW (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TINIAN [and non]. 21570.03 approx., Apr 29 at 0402, two signals in
Chinese. RFA more likely the askew one than CNR1 jammer, sked this
hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Sun Apr 28 at 2213, NO VOT English signal into
UTwente; algo else on 9875 which might have overrun. Something`s
always erroneous at Emirler.

7275, UT Mon Apr 29 at 0335, however is not off the air, S9+20/30
direct including HSNL so unlistenable but I can recognize `Letterbox`
informal host (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11530, Apr 29 at 0339, Turkish? music, S9/+10, presumed
jammer against Dengê Gel but no sign of it on same or anywhere nearby
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 11785, Apr 29 at 2200, good signal direct into DX-390
portable, almost as good as simulSpain 17855, but VOT English from the
throat of the badax today, requiring too much concentration to
apprehend; additionally there is slight distortion, and ACI from 11780
Brasil. `Review of the Turkish Press` ending at 2219, into music
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13563.5 CW approx., Apr 29 at 0347, AN, HIFER beacon fading
up and down, from Somerton AZ near Yuma. Not measured precisely but
unseemed close to 13563.0 as in LWCA list, 13562.9. No sign of others
elsewhen around here, YSO, PCO or RQ. There it is again, JBA Apr 29 at
2222, AN about 13563.5, not 13563.0 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2240 monitoring: confirmed Sunday
April 28 from 2000.5 on IRRS via AM Italia, 1322.995, S9+10 into
UTwente. Previous talk program was faded out at 2000.

Also confirmed Sunday April 28 at 2150 the 2130 on SW Radio, Germany,
6160.000, S9/+5 into UTwente with dittering on the upper side; and
3975.002, S8/9+5.

Also confirmed UT Monday April 29 at 0030 on WRMI 7780, S5/S9 direct
in high storm noise level = HSNL. At 0054 into Querétaro SDR,
S9+5/20.

Also confirmed UT Monday April 29 from 0300.5 on Area 51 via WBCQ
6159.930, S7/9+5 into NH SDR. Direct at 0328, S9/+10 in HSNL.

Also confirmed Monday April 29 after 1930 on SW Radio, Germany, into
UTwente, 6160 with dittering ACI, via timer recording so // 3975 not
checked. When I can check about 2215 after 6160 is off, a weak
6159.93, no doubt WBCQ. Next:

1300 UT Tuesday WRMI 9955 to SSE [also web-, phonecast; jammed?]
2330 UT Tuesday WRMI 9395 to NNW
2330 UT Tuesday SW Radio, Germany 3975
1930 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 5010 to S
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW
1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 6160

** U S A. 15770, Apr 29 at 0353, SMTV via WRMI, S7/9+10, addressing me
as ``compassionate listener`` -- yes indeed, thank you. Beamed NE,
this frequency needs above normal propagation NW toward us (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5085, Apr 29 at 0345, WTWW blasting in at S9+50/60! Unusual
for non-local signal; with BFO I can tell the carrier is wobbling
slightly, not I hope from receiver overload (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JJBBA MW carrier search, Apr 29 at 0407:
surprised so late in season vs storm noise and splash I can detect
these: 585, 684, 774, 891-2, 1305, 1314, 1503; 1710-2 which would be
domestic TIS or pirates. Mostly Spain, but beat on 891 is 140/minute =
2.3 Hz, so Algeria and what? MWoffsets shows Algeria 2.5 to 3 Hz low;
Iran right on .000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 12060, Apr 29 at 0343, jamming buzzing which should be 2
x 6030 vs R. Martí, but a different sound on 6030. Perhaps from
different sites, one of them more harmonic prone (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)
