** ALGERIA [non]. 9620, June 9 at 0602, RTA relay via FRANCE is
starting with tweeting on own audio, self-imposed beep QRM as the
defective ISS transmitter is now here; plus my own local bubbling from
some device, quite a combination vs Arabic song (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** CHINA [and non]. CNR1 jammer survey, June 9, starting at 1351. Some
of these are JBA carriers, so presumed, the stronger ones with
metereadings, all in Chinese, no Firedragon heard; most against Sound
of Hope, some USAGM:

13920 S6-S9; 13835; 13530 JBAC; 13160 JBAC; 13150; 12880 S5-S7; 12870
S5-S7; (12350? = 13740 Cuba minus 1390 KCRC local mix); 12190.

By now it`s 1357 with time running out this hour; skipping past any
25m in-band: 11460 S9-S7; 11170; 11150; 11100; 10920.

At 1417: 10820; 10960; 11070; 11100 S3-S6, 11440 S9-S6; 11460 S6-S9;
12190 JBAC; 12210 S5-S8; 12500 S6-S9; 12800 JBAC; 12820 JBAC; 12880
S6-S4. At 1423: 13020 S9/+10!; 14850 JBAC; 14920 JBAC.

At 1428: 15110 S8/S9+10 vs VOA Philippines, but no sign of it, just
this CNR1 // 13020. Scanned up thru entire 16 & 17 MHz band but none
more until:

At 1430: 17690, JBA but // 13020.

I seldom check after 1500 but I do today tuning down from 17690 which
is now off: at 1505, none higher than: 11440, 11100, 11070 (and two
JBA local mixes: 10770 = 12160 WWCR minus 1390 KCRC; 10490 = 11880 CRI
Cuba minus 1390 KCRC).

So there you have a fraxion of the hyper-paranoid ChiCom attempt to
block any dissent (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** FRANCE [and non]. 9805, June 9 at 0604, something is here under
heavy Cuban jamming, certainly not Radio Martí. It`s RFI in Hausa at
0600-0630! Yet another station which doesn`t have the sense to avoid
any frequency ever jammed by Cuba, at any time, any year. EiBi shows
one other daring to employ 9805, KBS World Radio four hours a day, one
of them axually overlapping RM at 10-11. See also ALGERIA [non] (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. Since I no longer have a regular DXLD sexion
UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIALS, I can`t resist quoting this nice response,
especially since some other guy brickbats me and wants me banned from
some list: (gh)

``Glenn, I always enjoy your detailed reports, writing style, and
commentary! This time, I particularly liked your discussion of

“** U S A. 1270, June 2 at 2014 UT, in full daytime conditions, KRXO
Claremore (Tulsa) OK silly sports talk at 5 kW with heavy SAH of
exactly 1 Hz from another groundwaver.”

Lotta good DX tech & thinking in that, good science and detective
work, plus I so agree with your assessment of “stupid sportstalk”
programming. It’s why I cannot sit on any station for more than a few
minutes these days, except the rare ones that run music. Can’t stand
the mindless talk of any flavor. // Thanks again for your
informative/entertaining reports, always a good read! – 73s de Fred in

Schroyer, IRCA iog. Tnx, Fred! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, June 9 at 2228, VOT English to us is on, but JBM if
not dead air. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler. No RTTY QRM,
anyway (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 13565-CW, June 9 at 1424, K6FRC beacon in Patterson CA is
JBA vs CODAR (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2037 monitoring: confirmed Monday
June 8 at 1801 on IRRS 7290 via BULGARIA. Recorded off UTwente SDR and
spotchecked later, apparently intact for the next 29 minutes.

I start setting up recording at 1702 when Iran`s Russian service from
1650 is running --- and I am already hearing the ``RTTY``-- like
warble underneath, so that sound is NOT coming out of IRRS as I
previously thought, but what? Is it an artifact at UTwente; or
somesignal on 7290 at broader hours? I have not compared to what
happen via other SDRs. BTW, Iran`s Russian hour on 7290 is somehow
missing from Aoki/NDXC, but correctly in EiBi.

[24 hours later, June 9 at 1750 during the break, I am trying other
SDRs, such as Bucharest, and after a VG signal from Iran, there is
definitely high-speed RTTY or something on 7291! What`s it doing in
the broadcast band? Intruder! And there is now a weaker unID 7290
broadcast signal with songs, which unseems either VIRI or IRRS; only
other 7290 scheduled is CNR1 Beijing site until 1805, Via UTwente,
it`s JBA under IRRS open carrier before it modulate at 1759. Back to
Bucharest, the unID has a 5+1 China-style timesignal at ToH. Talk
resumes and it does seem to stop at 1805. IRRS is sufficient at
Bucharest but much stronger at UTwente; `Wavescan` after 1830 Tue.]

Now back to June 8: My recording starts at 1750 when the VIRI IS is
briefly heard, and off*, this week in plenty of time before IRRS. The
warble is still heard with neither station in the break. After a few
minutes of open carrier, circa 1759, IRRS feed cuts on during a song;
soon ``From south of the Alps in northern Italy, you are tuned in to I
double-R S shortwave, address P O Box 10980 in N-20110 MILL-ah-noh,
Italy`` and phone number; right into FSN Washington quick headlines
before WOR.

Also confirmed UT Tue June 9 at 0100 on WRMI 7780, VG at Utwente, weak
ute ACI from 7784 evitable; direct check at 0129, S9 with different
co-channel uteblaaps on and off. Next:

** VANUATU. 11835, June 8 at 0530, YL talk in unID language, weak, but
RV 3945 + harmonix must be on even earlier today than *0600; also JBA
carrier on 2 x 3945 = 7890. Ron Howard confirms hearing 11835 as early
at 0445, and 3945 until 1104* so did not use either 5040 or 2485

** KURDISTAN [non]. 11530, June 7 at 0551, S9-S7 ME song, nice, no
jamming, but by 0557 there is a light fast SAH, perhaps the Turkish
jammer; 0600 orchestral music and Dengê Welat ID, 0601 into news(?).
Recheck at 0635, no signals. Aoki/NDXC shows a site switch at 0600
from Issoudun, FRANCE, to PRIDNESTROVYE, so that was likely the SAH
carrier I had from a much weaker signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6933-USB, June 7 at 0002, pirate song at S3-S4; 0023
seems to say ``radio hub``, and guitar strumming. 0040 another

feeling good and will keep going; faded up to S8-S9, ``Zekey`s Attic

** U K [non]. 11620, June 7 at 0602, news in French all about Africa,
first especially Libya; altho fluent, the speakers seem not with the
pristine Parisian accent, perhaps African-influenced. Aoki/NDXC shows
this semihour is BBC via AUSTRIA, and gone at 0635 recheck. There is
also a LAH, from? Only otherthing sked at this hour is CNR5, Beijing
site; would not expect either to be off-frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. 18131.778-USB, June 6 at 2049, W7YO is the OPSOB (only phone
station on band), Glenn running 100 watts from the 4-corners area,
leisurely contact with unheard AA3PM(?) discussing antennas,
equipment. Still there at 2124 on the other receiver when measured.
QRZ.com lookup: ``W7YO USA, GLENN M GURNEY, BLANDING, UT 84511``.

There is also some CW just above 21 MHz, but no phone audible on
``15`` meters, and nothing on 12 or 10. HF sporadic E opening.

I am paying close attention to MUFs as monitored and as on the 6m DX
MAPs. Once in a while it pokes above 88 MHz, but in the wrong places,
not enough for any FM DX to skip into here. We are around the nominal
peak of the summer Es season, but it`s been very disappointing so far;
indeed nothing since the surprise early opening in mid-April (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 15809.977, June 6 at 2138, very weak and fading carrier,
some JB modulation? rock music at peaks, and Ted? Must be the seldom
activated WTWW-3. Still past 2144+. Similar signal to 15825 WWCR,
neither getting any sporadic-E boost over this path despite lots of HF
MUFs around the continent. It seems the last times I logged this were
August 18-19, 2018, offset at .938 and .930.

5085, WTWW-2 is on and arriving this early at 2140 much better with
woman`s voice not //, presumably some ham show this Saturday. The
other possible WTWW frequencies, 9930, 9475 and 5830 are all silent,
and probably 12105 if I could have remembered it.

By 0100 June 7, only 5085 heard with quotation from Exodus, ID and
rock music, distorted on S9+30/40 signal.

15810, June 7 at 1839, JJBBA carrier, even weaker than 15825 WWCR, but
suspect WTWW-3 on again; however by 1850 nothing to be heard via
several remotes in different direxions at greater distances.

Once again there is plenty of HF Es around the USA, but not over the
TN/OK path. High MUF spots into the 90s are scattered, either too far
or to close over here; nada on an FM bandscan at 1800-1814 UT
concentrating on 88-98 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VANUATU. 11835, June 7 at 0627, ``island music``, must be the third
harmonic of RV, 3 x 3945 as has been erupting now for weeks and often
reported by Ron Howard. First time I`ve heard it since it`s now coming
on an hour earlier at *0600 before my too-late-already bedtime. RV
keeps changing frequency/times, so get it while we can.

Also a JBA carrier on 7890 = 2 x 3945. I measure it on 11835.000, but
Ron`s recent recording has a low het upon it; China being the
co-channel but they are normally spot-on. At 0630 there is a
sounder/drumming, and talk, not sure of language but intonation sounds
French; Ron reported on June 6 and says the same was on June 7 at this
time:

``0630-0644: "Half past five"; "Press Release," with very detailed
information about applying for an interest free loan from the Cyclone
Harold Vanuatu National Provincial Fund, given in French, Bislama and
English; followed in English with message from school Principal Fred
Ottman, about the Aore Adventist Academy being relocated and giving
students detailed instructions for the move. Good number of IDs
("Radio Vanuatu, Vois Blong Yumi"); some light China QRM and a slight
het.
My audio of French, at http://bit.ly/30eYzVl
My audio of English, at http://bit.ly/2XB5xCg .``

Here it`s S4-S7, so hard to believe this be an accidental harmonic.

hope they don`t! Tnx to our summer, 25m is hopping with other signals,

** CHINA. CNR1 jammers, June 5 at 1355-: 11440 S8-S9, 11150 S3-S5,
11100, 10920, 10870.

At 1359 a hasty scan above and below 13000 finds only 12880 in music.

At 1416, 11460 at S7-S9; 11580 S9+10/20 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [non]. 13650, June 5 at 2315-2357*, CRI Portuguese service
via CUBA is nothing but nice instrumental Chinese music (NOT raucous
Firedragon), to accompany my nap; cuts off without any announcement.
They used to sign-on in Portuguese before defaulting to music, still?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 12200, June 5 at 0613, S4-S5 of dead air vs CODAR; obviously
RHC 2 x 6100 also with dead air in English at S9+30/40. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA NORTH [non]. 11510, June 5 at 1358, JBA carrier during CNR1
jammer search, but per Aoki/NDXC, only thing anywhen on 11510 is Radio
Free North Korea at 13-14 via UZBEKISTAN. Or as in WRTH, Free North
Korea Radio; and allegedly jammed. The userlist version of Aoki does
not explain what * means, but apparently applied to jamming only by
China as not upon Martí frequencies either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TAIWAN [non]. 9955, Friday June 5 at 1406, WRMI-3 is still on with
Freedom Synergy Radio, anti-PRC discussion in English. Original
publicity for this said it would be on at 1400 via webcast but not SW;
forgot to turn it off? Has anyone ever heard FSR in Spanish, also per
original notice? Blalock the Blaster will impossiblize this on Sat &
Sun, truly sked on 9955 until 1430 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TIBET [non]. 11570, June 5 at 1358, music unlike the CNR1 jammers
being surveyed, 1400 still on open carrier S4-S7. Listed 12-14 is RFA
Tibetan via KUWAIT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 9830, June 5 at 2225, VOT fair S4-S7 with music, no RTTY
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2037 monitoring: confirmed first
NAm broadcast, Friday June 5 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, good via TWR SDRs
both in Bonaire (er, ``Caribbean Netherlands``), and Dominican
Republic, no jamming audible; at 2225 check direct to OK, only S4-S6,
very poor.

Also confirmed UT Sat June 6 at 0130 on WRMIs, audible on all three in
decreasing strength order from VG to fair: at Bonaire, 5010 > 5850 >
7780; at Alexandria VA, 5850 > 5010 > 7780. Next:

Would those awake at 1130 Saturday please confirm whether WOR be on
WRMI 9955, as it was not last week tho still scheduled; direct, remote
receiver, or webcast will suffice. Tnx.

** U S A. 7490v // 6160v // 5130v, UT Sat June 6, WBCQ cuts off FKB
gospel huxter --- does that stand for Father Knows Best? --- before he
can sign off with wrong WINB frequency, starting `William Tell
Overture` promptly for `AAAWWW`; final interjexion sounds like
``Klondike`` --- OKaayy. Initial topix are black flies (again),
mosquitoes, ice cream and air conditioning, subjects which do not
really draw me in, so will anticipate John Carver`s full report:

``Tonight's show started on time on 5130, 6160 and 7490. Allan and
Angela in the studio. Opening talk about black flies, Klondike Bars
and mosquitoes. Phone call at 0010 from Andy talking about ice cream
and air conditioning in cars.

Allan reads an email congratulating them on the wonderful music
special that they ran last night on three frequencies. Then came the
obligatory comments about how beautiful Angela is.

Phone call at 0024 about transmitters and monitoring radio usage by
reading the local oscillator signals. He also commented on the better
reception of 7490 this evening. Allan stated that they had increased
power on all the classic transmitters and replaced several tubes and
spent a lot of money in doing so and said he'd probably spend more
money on them before they go back to Fla.

He also said that he and Angela and Tom and another crew member had
fixed the tube ring on the big transmitter on Monday of this week. He
posted a picture of the ring on twitter today. Said it was about the
thickness of a paper towel and cost four thousand dollars. He is not
impressed with the ring or that system. They are running the
transmitter at slightly lower power for awhile at his command.

The plumbing job he talked of a couple of weeks ago started leaking
again. He said it was a Chinese coupler that gave out. He went to the
store and bought more supplies and did it all over again.

Then talk about a letter they received complaining about the Hal
Turner show. He said it was a very nice letter and they answered as
usual by saying they would do nothing to censor Hal Turner and if the
writer was concerned they should write directly to Hal Turner.

Reading of emails at 0053 and closing prayer at 0057. Show was off the
air at 0100 and 5130 signed off the air at that time instead of
continuing with the Hal Turner show as they've been doing recently.
John, Mid-North Indiana``

I do take the trouble to measure the frequencies at 0018, all of which
are wavering slightly --- is it something about the AC power supply in
Monticello causing that? 7489.965v, 6159.894v, 5129.979v (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5890, June 5 at 0604, dead air from WWCR-4 despite TOMBS
having bought out the transmitter; it`s committed to a certain amount
of dead air anyway. Who needs it? TOMBS is blaring away with equally
VG signal on 5850 WRMI-12, and modulated to boot, among others (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9110-9170, 9485-9510, 9845-9875, June 5 at 1401, local
sporadic scratchy noise blobs peaking roughly in center of these
ranges.

10205-10225, 10560-10590, 10920-10950, June 5 at 1408, more of them
audible up to 11 MHz, all at roughly/average 360-kHz intervals (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 11494-USB, June 5 at 1355, 2-way in English, JBA with
uteblaaps. In UDXF iog several recent logs here from USCG Cutters
