** CHINA. 9215, May 19 at 1426, Chinese S2-S4, CNR1 jammer.

9230, May 19 at 1426, Chinese S6-S8, // CNR1 jammers vs SOH

12800, May 19 at 1433, S6-S8 CNR1 jammer. No other WOOB ones found in
WOOB scan 8-15 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11670, May 19 at 0321, RHC S9+30 but huge hum, distorted and
undermodulated; wiggle that patchcord! Something`s always wrong at
RHC.

11800, May 19 at 0322, this RHC is merely undermodulated. Something`s
always wrong at RHC.

13740, May 19 at 0323, RHC S9+10 and hum not quite as bad as 11670.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 417-MCW kHz, May 19 at 0540 UT, ND beacon IY, which is 25
watts from Charles CItY, Iowa. I was tuned to 418-USB. Storm noise
level not too bad now with closest lightnings over Montana and South
Carolina. So look for more:

400-MCW kHz, May 19 at 0541, NDB AHQ, which is 25 watts from Wahoo,
Nebraska.

379-MCW kHz, May 19 at 0544, NDB RUE, 25 watts from Russellville,
Arkansas. I was tuned to 380-USB [or was it LSB?] (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A. Re: <<< 10127-CW, May 18 at 1411, CQ DE W9EBE K over and
over, probably recorded but originally by a distinctive fist,
prolonging the dahs and/or shortening the dits. >>>

Yes, the prolonged dahs are often part of an "accent" heard from users
of bugs (semi-automatic keys)

Thanks for the recommendation, Glenn; I enjoyed reading his page. I
see he's a fellow member of the CWops club, though I’ve yet to run
into him during our on-air events. Best, Saul W3WHK [Broudy],

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2034 monitoring: detailed listening
for IRRS broadcast of 1800 UT Mon May 18 on 7290, via UTwente SDR in
Holland, via home feeder on 90.7 MHz, notes transferred from original
Little Caesar`s tan napkin during today`s home lunch of something else:

1750, 7290, Iran in Russian concluding and into IS, no IRRS yet

1753, Iran still on, opening Italian, of all languages, on wrong
frequency! Again! and national anthem

1754.5, Iran starts Qur`an but then cuts off air, whew. Allah`ll get
`em for that

1755.5, maybe carrier from IRRS, as the slight warble it conveys
becomes audible; heavy ACI continues

BTW, consensus among reliable monitors in Europe is that 7290 IRRS is
NOT from Bulgaria or Romania, but UNKNOWN site

1757, IRRS power seems bumped up now, quieter but still ACI splash

1759, two bits of music mod cut on and off, presumably IRRS feed

1800-1805, dead air continues, no IRRS sign-on, no FSN headlines and
missing WOR start

1805, WOR audio starts cutting on and off; again at 1806

1806.5, WOR audio stays on about 5 minutes into program, still ACI
splash

1808, cut to dead air again

1809, cut WOR audio back on; I continue semi-listening and do not
notice any further breaks but there may have been some

1829, cut off during my IRCA plug, back briefly, off again and rest of
program lost, more dead air

1831, cut on Feature Story News JIP

1835, start The Shortwave Report as usual this late so its ending will
get chopped off by 1859

Meanwhile after lunch I am checking the adjacent QRM which is
unreasonably annoying, and find that Voice of Vietnam in German is on
7285 instead of 7280, at 1834-1836*

1836, 7290 IRRS SWR interrupted again by dead air except for hum, back
at 1837 and not monitored further

*1837, VOV German comes back on correct frequency 7280, which helps a
little but still splashes upon 7290, 10 kHz away.

Also during WOR, AM Synch, USB, LSB, AM, various bandwidths tried can
never eliminate the QRM. But whenever modulating, still readable if
you put up with it

WOR 2034 also confirmed UT Tuesday May 19 at 0100 on WRMI 7780 direct,
S8/S9+10, fair vs noise. Next:

2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE

O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 2097.3-CW, May 19 at 0551, single-letter beacon, A,
every dekasecond JBA vs noise level, as it has been almost every
recent night checked, for the record; from anywhere but Quartzsite AZ
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9290-9295, May 19 at 0331, non-DRM buzz I have also
noticed before. Suspected spur out of supersig 9330 WBCQ, but probably
not, as no match on plus side; only way to be sure would be
correlating going & coming with 9330 switches off and on. Defective
9265V WINB transmitter, also DRM-capable, would be off by now (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA [and non]. 13130, May 18 at 1333, CNR1 jammer, poor S3-S7,
1401 off.

CNR1 jammer(s) vs VOA Chinese via PHILIPPINES this hour only.

** IRAN. 9855, Just checking via UTwente, May 17 at 2006 tune-in for
full ID from IRIB/VIRI and English schedule. Good modulation level now
but rather tinny, // much weaker 9835. The 1920 broadcast. Ullmar
Qvick, Sweden, SW Bulletin had recently notified station of barely
audible modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NEW ZEALAND. 5945, May 18 at 0603, oh oh, RNZI is already on here
with news mentioning radio signals, instead of 11725 which used to be
at good level but 5945 is only fair this early and adjacent to 5950
WRMI. RNZI have made another abrupt mid-season schedule change,
gearing down for southern winter. Yes, website How To Listen now
shows:

``RNZ Pacific (RNZI) broadcasts at the following frequencies and times
to different parts of the Pacific Region. Expect schedule changes from
time to time to take account of propagation to our target audience.
NB: Every month on the first Wednesday is Maintenance day at our

English is operative today, but who knows if it started on time?
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 10127-CW, May 18 at 1411, CQ DE W9EBE K over and over,

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2034 monitoring: confirmed UT
Monday May 18 at 0130 on WRMI 7780, VP after double-ID by BZ and RE in
English, uteblapp immediately as I start talking.

Also confirmed UT Mon May 18 at 0230 on WRMI 7780, VG via Rochester.

Also confirmed UT Mon May 18 at 0301 on Area 51 via WBCQ 5130, VG at
Rochester SDR.

Also confirmed UT Mon May 18 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, fair at Anna TX
KiwiSDR I picked at random; poor at TWR Bonaire and fading out by
0400; good at Maine SDR. Next:

Controversy continues about the IRRS site on 7290. Someone should
perform multi-receiver TDOA on this and settle it once and for all.
Those in a better position to know are sure it is neither Bulgaria nor
Romania. Alexander Busneag, Germany says to the WOR iog:

``So in conclusion, there are many reasons why IRRS 7290 kHz cannot be
via Romania, and Mauno now also got a confirmation from RADIOCOM that
this transmission is not from them. While it is clear that 9510 kHz
EVIDENTLY is via Romania, there is absolutely not the slightest hint
that IRRS 7290 kHz would come from Romania! ;-) As Ivo states that
IRRS 7290 kHz is not via Bulgaria either, I would suggest to mark the
TX location as "unknown":

1800vUT Monday IRRS 7290 UNKNOWN? 594-Italy``

0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to NE
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW

** U S A. 7490.1, Sunday May 17 after 2100, checking WBCQ webcast,
rock music instead of `Marion`s Attic`, as #1 fan Mark Coady, Ontario
had just complained. Wonder what happened?

Poorly on SW at 2210 should be `Uncle Bill`s Melting Pot`, but unlike
usual fare, rather woman lecturing to laughing audience. Soon I
recognize it`s Anna Russell`s hilarious take on Wagner`s Ring Cycle.
So now there are comedy routines on UBMP. Finally at 2229 Bill comes
on with UBMP announcement and sponsor which I do not endorse; also
plugs the upcoming special repeat. As for Anna Russell, wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Russell
``Among her best-known works are her concert performances and famous
recordings of The Ring of the Nibelungs (An Analysis) – a humorous
22-minute synopsis of Richard Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen – and
(on the same album) her parody How to Write Your Own Gilbert and
Sullivan Opera.[1]`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 13020, May 17 at 1332, huge S9+20 CNR1 with Chinese talk,
not music as previously during this Sunday hour. Really a standout
with nothing else around this WOOB area; but encourages me to do full
bandscan for other jammers to Sound of Hope, 10-16 MHz:

13835, May 17 at 1338, CNR1 jammer at S5-S7 with echo; off by 1412

11440, May 17 at 1340, CNR1 jammer at S3-S5; no others above 10 MHz
this hour and this one also off by next check 1412. But see 11460:

After 1400 I resurvey 10-18 MHz way-out-of-band areas:

13020, May 17 at 1412, instead of bigsig last hour, now a JBA carrier,
tremendous change in jamming or maybe really SOH trace now

11460, May 17 at 1413, CNR1 jammer at S9-S6

11150, May 17 at 1414, CNR1 jammer at S9-S7

11070, May 17 at 1414, CNR1 jammer at S4-S7

10920, May 17 at 1415, CNR1 jammer at S3-S5

10820, May 17 at 1415, JBA presumed CNR1 jammer

13130+, May 17 at 1418, JBA slightly off frequency, so could really be
SOH without jamming

13150, May 17 at 1419, JBA carrier, CNR1 jammer? See below

14400, May 17 at 1420, JBA carrier, presumed CNR1 jammer

EiBi shows all above as CNR1 or Firedrake jammers of SOH, except:
13150 not listed: rather a local mix RHC 11760 + KCRC 1390 = 13150
13835 against RFA Tibetan via Tajikistan

15110, May 17 at 1421, regular CNR1 jammer against VOA Chinese via
Philippines this hour only; there may be others in-band not sought
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Sunday May 17 at 1504, RHC Esperanto is starting on
heavily distorted transmitter // clear but weaker 11760. Note the OM
announcer insists on mispronouncing ``politiko`` with stress like in
Spanish on second rather than penultimate syllable as absolutely
required in Esperanto unless a marked diphthong counts as one
syllable.

Earlier today Sun May 17, Wolfgang Bueschel monitored remotedly:

``6100 kHz sign-off at 0700 UT. Both 6060 and 6145 kHz channels
carried Esperanto program only short time. Surprisingly
0702:45 UT 6060 kHz outlet switched OFF.
0703:28 UT 6145 kHz outlet switched OFF.
(wb df5sx, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews May 17)``

Something`s always wrong at Radío Havano Kubo. Listeners would have
even less chance of hearing the first Espo broadcast if they tune in
at announced time of 0800 Sunday on 6100! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA SOUTH. 12935-CW, May 17 at 1334, ``CQ CQ CQ DE HLG3 HLG3 HLG3
QSX --- K``; and same style CQ marker at 1335 on 12923-CW from HLW2;
weak compared to 13020 CNR1 jammer, but sufficient, encountered as I
bandscan for more jammers. EiBi shows both these as Seoul Radio, but
calls without numbers. Some of few marine CW markers left on SW ---
but do they really make any QSX contacts? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. Mike Agner, KA3JJZ, says, ``The reported callsign for
9830 RTTY is listed as NSS in the UDXF logs, not NAU. The transmitter
site was TDoA'ed to be Davidsonville Maryland, not Puerto Rico per
past UDXF logs. Mike`` ---

Indeed EiBi also shows this. Just to keep them straight, from EiBi
here are all the frequencies shown for NSS ``Annapolis``:
4005, *4985, 6487, *9830, *12015, 15959 ---
And for NAU, Isabela, Puerto Rico:
5340, 5716, 6831, *7455, 7830, 10153, *11688, *12120, 13229, 16123,
16213
*some of them near-constant RTTY/STANAG QRM to broadcasts, all
frequencies available 24 hours. Thanks, Mike (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2034 monitoring: reconfirmed new
time of 0300 UT Sunday May 17 on WRMI 5800, good S9+10/20 altho aimed
SSE like 9955, and no jamming (but I have blob from local device).

Also confirmed UT Sun May 17 at 0328 on WA0RCR, 1860-AM, MO, about 6

keeps cutting out toward the end before transmitter off 0609*; of
course also with the spurs 5072.1 & 5097.9. Strange that hardly anyone
else take note of such a long-standing defect. You can`t miss them on
1-kHz BFO step tuning (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

13150, May 17 at 1419, JBA carrier, CNR1 jammer? See below

14400, May 17 at 1420, JBA carrier, presumed CNR1 jammer

EiBi shows all above as CNR1 or Firedrake jammers of SOH, except:
13150 not listed: rather a local mix RHC 11760 + KCRC 1390 = 13150
13835 against RFA Tibetan via Tajikistan

15110, May 17 at 1421, regular CNR1 jammer against VOA Chinese via
Philippines this hour only; there may be others in-band not sought
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15140, Sunday May 17 at 1504, RHC Esperanto is starting on
heavily distorted transmitter // clear but weaker 11760. Note the OM
announcer insists on mispronouncing ``politiko`` with stress like in
Spanish on second rather than penultimate syllable as absolutely
required in Esperanto unless a marked diphthong counts as one
syllable.

Earlier today Sun May 17, Wolfgang Bueschel monitored remotedly:

``6100 kHz sign-off at 0700 UT. Both 6060 and 6145 kHz channels
carried Esperanto program only short time. Surprisingly
0702:45 UT 6060 kHz outlet switched OFF.
0703:28 UT 6145 kHz outlet switched OFF.
(wb df5sx, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews May 17)``

Something`s always wrong at Radío Havano Kubo. Listeners would have
even less chance of hearing the first Espo broadcast if they tune in
at announced time of 0800 Sunday on 6100! (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KOREA SOUTH. 12935-CW, May 17 at 1334, ``CQ CQ CQ DE HLG3 HLG3 HLG3
QSX --- K``; and same style CQ marker at 1335 on 12923-CW from HLW2;
weak compared to 13020 CNR1 jammer, but sufficient, encountered as I
bandscan for more jammers. EiBi shows both these as Seoul Radio, but
calls without numbers. Some of few marine CW markers left on SW ---
but do they really make any QSX contacts? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. Mike Agner, KA3JJZ, says, ``The reported callsign for
9830 RTTY is listed as NSS in the UDXF logs, not NAU. The transmitter
site was TDoA'ed to be Davidsonville Maryland, not Puerto Rico per
past UDXF logs. Mike`` ---

Indeed EiBi also shows this. Just to keep them straight, from EiBi
here are all the frequencies shown for NSS ``Annapolis``:
4005, *4985, 6487, *9830, *12015, 15959 ---
And for NAU, Isabela, Puerto Rico:
5340, 5716, 6831, *7455, 7830, 10153, *11688, *12120, 13229, 16123,
16213
*some of them near-constant RTTY/STANAG QRM to broadcasts, all
frequencies available 24 hours. Thanks, Mike (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2034 monitoring: reconfirmed new
time of 0300 UT Sunday May 17 on WRMI 5800, good S9+10/20 altho aimed
SSE like 9955, and no jamming (but I have blob from local device).

** U S A. 5085, May 17 at 0607 as I am falling asleep, realize that
WTWW-2 is playing the Star Spangled Banner in a piano version, but
keeps cutting out toward the end before transmitter off 0609*; of
course also with the spurs 5072.1 & 5097.9. Strange that hardly anyone
else take note of such a long-standing defect. You can`t miss them on
1-kHz BFO step tuning (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
