re RTI Spanish test series via 9490 kHz from Febr 23.
Checked the 9490 kHz channel this day-before Febr 22:
9490 kHz 00-01 UT CBSC RTI Chinese and e q u a l  strength CNR1 jamming
against RTI 100 kW 352 degr outlet from Tamsui site.
Noted in northern Tokyo remote site.
9490 kHz At 00.58 UT in Alberta S=7 or -89dBm scratching jamming from
RadioCuba , also heard in Detroit, Rochester and Massachusetts.
So, how will be the RTI test signal tomorrow ?
At this hour Taiwan is in full sun shine, Grayline is at Calgary, Montana,
Dencer Colorado, New Mexico, Chihahua, Zacatecas, Acapulco, Pacific Ocean.
All easterly, Central AM, and all SoAM are on dark. But direct service
from Tamshui TWN would only reliable signal in 19 meterband along the
grayline.
In Alberta CAN noted some Asian services
around 00.15 UT Febr 22 check:
16100even CNR1 jamming against TWN SOH.
15120even CUB  CRI Spanish via RadioCuba Quivica TITAN site, S=7
15310.002 PHL  BBC via AGM United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM)
         Tinang Philippines site, S=7-8.

11780.008 the only stronger signal in 25 mb,
         R Nacional Brasilia at S=5 or -102dBm level,

TAIWAN [non]. 9490, Feb 21 at 0106, no signal from Issoudun, and
maybe no jamming either yet; tho registered to start at 0100 with RMI
programming, i.e. Radio República --- but I think that only apply once
CubAmerican DST be in effect from March 9.
Checking because RTI has publicized that it will experiment with
revived Spanish broadcasts UT Feb 23-26 at 0100-0130 on 9490, site not
specified but surely FRANCE. And again at 0300-0330 on 9500, because
jamming and R.R. will still be on 9490 at that time. Voluntarily
picking a frequency ever subject to Cuban jamming is foolish, as it
may well extend beyond the ``necessary`` hours [see TURKEY].
Sure enough at 0157 recheck, jamming is already running on 9490, and
the ISS carrier cuts on just in time at *0159:39, but any programming
to follow is inaudible under jamming. Propagation from Europe is
degraded anyway now, K-index 4 at 0300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

TURKEY. 5960, Feb 20 at 2346, VOT English made it on air today, but
now wrapping up with canned totally wrong A-19 English schedule, as I
have previously explained in detail; which usually plays at sign-on.
Something`s always awkward at Ankara.

** CHINA. 7255, Feb 21 at 1337, Russian discussion mentioning some
Chinese names. Chances are high that any Russian heard on SW will be
from CRI --- certainly not from Russia! --- and indeed this is, an
hour via Shijiazhuang site, 500 kW at 37 degrees, thUSward (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 15369.23, Feb 20 at 2340, JBA carrier as RHC continues way
off-frequency for the tenth day; VP propagation now, but earlier in
afternoon normally inbooms. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ERITREA. 7140, Feb 21 at 0426, constant JBA carrier, presumed VOBME
but nothing on their other frequency 7180 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** GERMANY [non]. 15215, Feb 21 at 1608 tune-in to yearly Radio
Öömrang broadcast via FRANCE --- discussion mostly in Frisian, some
high German, and brief intros in English at 1626 and 1628. Longer
outro in English at 1658 with contact info and credits, and to be
heard again on 21 Feb 2021; 1659:30 to open carrier and off 1700*.
First checked on home receiver, then on remotes in eastern USA, with
VG reception. I was distracted during closing but did not hear a
mention of the DRM repeat supposedly 48 hours later same frequency and
time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** OKLAHOMA [and non]. 640, Feb 21 at 1319 UT and still 1330, dead air
from KWPN Moore, as happens frequently; vs fast SAH and CCI probably
led by KFI, which without KWPN at night would have a clear shot into
OK (Glenn Hauser, Enid, WOR)

** SAO TOME. 7255.0, Feb 21 at 0427, uncertain African language S9-S7,
0429 mbira song, 0430 hilife music. This hour is VOA Zimbabwe service
a.k.a. Studio 7, mixture of Shona, Ndebele and a little English (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TAIWAN [non]. 9490, Feb 21 at 0106, no signal from Issoudun, and
maybe no jamming either yet; tho registered to start at 0100 with RMI
programming, i.e. Radio República --- but I think that only apply once
CubAmerican DST be in effect from March 9.

Checking because RTI has publicized that it will experiment with
revived Spanish broadcasts UT Feb 23-26 at 0100-0130 on 9490, site not
specified but surely FRANCE. And again at 0300-0330 on 9500, because
jamming and R.R. will still be on 9490 at that time. Voluntarily
picking a frequency ever subject to Cuban jamming is foolish, as it
may well extend beyond the ``necessary`` hours [see TURKEY].

Sure enough at 0157 recheck, jamming is already running on 9490, and
the ISS carrier cuts on just in time at *0159:39, but any programming

degraded anyway now, K-index 4 at 0300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 5960, Feb 20 at 2346, VOT English made it on air today, but
now wrapping up with canned totally wrong A-19 English schedule, as I
have previously explained in detail; which usually plays at sign-on.
Something`s always awkward at Ankara (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** TURKEY. 6125, Feb 21 at 0400, Cuban noise jamming against Radio
Martí is still running altho RM has just closed this frequency as
always (and no longer separate TV Martí soundtrack, right?). Cannot
detect VOT English to western N America as scheduled, until 0405
starts to become audible under jamming but unusable. No better at
0435, still heavy jamming atop VOT music(?).

This is absolutely self-defeating, of all possible frequencies picking
one right next timewise to Cuban jamming; could be on 6120 or 6130
both of which are open tho also adjacent frequency-wise. Plenty of
other open spaces on band. I also wonder if 6125 VOT transmission be
as erratic as 5960 one five hours earlier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 7178-LSB, Feb 21 at 1342, net in unknown language, mostly
strong signals, repeatedly discussing marijuana; occasional bits of
English; one guy with a rather melodic tone and prolonged vowels. One
call until 1351 sounds like KH0I#, last letter not clear. KH0`s are in
Saipan and Guam per ARRL lookup, but I think these are closer. Still
going at 1459 in contact with N4KH, VA6RB, and K0ADI?

N4KH is SPIKES JR, JAMES B, HUNTSVILLE, AL 35803-2095.
VA6RB is Roldan Gloria Bartolome, CALGARY, AB T3M 0S3 Canada
K0ADI is KITTLEMAN, ROD A, NIXA, MO 65714

At first I was guessing the language could be Indonesian? Or Tagalog?
Now I wonder if Chamorro, or a language around here, Marshallese.
Online searches for a net at this time on this frequency are
unsuccessful. Anyone know what this is? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

from Spain synchros), 837, 891, 936, 999, 1125, 1152, 1215(2), 1305.
Rather surprised to find a ``normal`` situation as K-index at 0300 was
4 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 2097.3, Feb 21 at 0627 and 1320 chex, single-letter
