** CHINA [and non]. 11900, June 11 at 1457 noise jamming over a JBA carrier; at 1500 ``Yankee Doodle Dandy`` of VOA sign/off audible until 1501* by when jamming also stopped. This hour only, 14-15 UT is VOA Chinese via PHILIPPINES. Not Firedrake or CNR1 jamming, but noise, very unusual for China. At first I thought it might be the Sa`udi noiseblob ex-11935 where there is nothing now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. 15180, June 11 at 1926, continuous traditional Chinese instrumental music, no announcements and no vocals, S5/S7 with flutter into Maryland SDR. Not as percussively raucous as Firedragon used to be. Nothing in Aoki, EiBi or latest HFCC to account for any CRI language being music-filled or anything else ``needing`` jamming during this hour. Off abruptly at 2000*. Could it be a NF for e.g. Portuguese which is sked this hour on some other frequencies but always music-fill only? I check all those frequencies into UTwente, as well as all other possible languages, mostly music but nothing is // 15180. Unless totally wrong, most likely vs Sound of Hope on an unknown and perhaps unused frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 5025, June 11 at 0635, R. Rebelde is absent again. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. The Other Side: ``DDC READ TODAY THE CUBA OF TOMORROW June 11, 2024 OPINION The Bells Are Ringing Again The regime's days are numbered: blackouts and protests, increasingly original and daring, have become everyday events in Cuba. OMAR LÓPEZ MONTENEGRO | Miami Protest in Santiago de Cuba, on May 30. (DIARIO DE CUBA)[caption] On Thursday, May 30, young people from the José Martí district, in the city of Santiago de Cuba, staged a unique protest taking the form of a conga march touring different neighborhoods in the populous city, the country's second most important, singing refrains that called for "electricity" and "food."``... https://diariodecuba.com/cuba/1718039926_55333.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 15140 & 11760, June 11 at 1921, NO signals into Maryland SDR, during first English hour of RHC where something`s always wrong (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** GUAM. 15625.07 approx., June 11 at 2205, JBA direct, talk sounds Chinese. KSDA scheduled this hour. A second hour at 2300 switching to Sri Lanka would likely be on a different exact frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 255 MCW kHz, June 11 at 2049 UT, still intolerable local line noise level especially on LW & MW, but diminished just barely enough to copy beacon SW, StillWater, so still/again on the air (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA. 11745.012, June 11 at 2234, S9+20 in Arabic, presumed Al Azm, for forces in Yemen; earlier someone reported it on 11935 instead, confusion at transmitter site or logger? with Rep. of Yemen Radio (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** TURKEY. 11785.019, June 11 at 2158 no signal direct from VOT English. Finally cuts on at 2159.5 with dead air, no IS, until 2201 JIP Ms Badax with presumed olds, too much noise at S8/S9 vs VOT at S9+10/20. Into UTwente at 2231 when measured further off-frequency than usual, Ms Badax in commentary about Pak/India, music. 2246 `Turkey`s Geomarked Products` about carpets -- maybe they are not trying to say ``geomarketed`` which would mean exported, sold abroad, while geomarked seems to be something about marking sources of products on a map. 2249 music. 2254 Badax s/off as if the 1230, chopoff at 2254.7* before IS can start. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15120, June 11 at 2203, S9/+10 of dead air, presumably Grimesland failing to turn off VOA after Bambara until 2200 weekdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non].
