** ALGERIA [non]. 9655, May 3 at 2036, RTA with Qur`an is beep-jammed
here, but not on // 9510, as heard via UTwente.
5940, May 3 at 2101, RTA is beep-jammed here but not on // 5930, via
UTwente. BTW, the ToH ID is not only in Arabic but also French, and
English, ``Qur`an Radio, Algeria``. It appears the jamentity has only one transmitter so RTA is clear when
running two frequencies, not always, but especially prime-time. Wolfgang Bueschel says this has been going on for the past five years
in the Sahel zone. In that case, someone might have DFed the source by
now, but it`s never too late. However it may be difficult to separate
perpetrator from victim. Could be the jamming start/end a few seconds
apart from the Issoudun QSY times. But later comes this reply from Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria: ``This is not
jamming; this is the typical one of two different types of tweet of
two transmitters via Issoudun. Only one type is used here for TDA. Two
different types was heard for Radio France International in French
0700-0800 UT on 13695 & 15300. -- 73! Ivo Ivanov`` Well! I simply could not imagine TDF/MBR could be so defective, doing
this to itself, especially for 5 years?! Ivo does not say how this was
determined, but I suggest: monitor whether the beepery start/stop at
exactly the same time the ISS transmitter go on and off. Something`s
always incredible at Issoudun (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CHINA [non]. 11880, May 4 at 1438, no signal from CRI relay via
CUBA, supposed to be English at 1400-1600. Nor on ex-15700 nor
anywhere else in the 7-17 MHz bands during routine bandscans.
Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. Wolfgang Bueschel also reported
this missing yesterday: ``RHC in A-20 - after 32 days monitoring, and a lot of frequency
change IRRITATIONS by Radio CUBA
1400-1500 11880 QVC 250 305 WeNoAM English
1500-1600 11880 QVC 250 305 WeNoAM English
n o t on air today May 3. 73 wb``
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13740, May 3 at 2127, this RHC is on today but no spurs;
however a bit distorted. One wonders if they swap around different
transmitter units. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR) ** CUBA. 7380, May 3 at 2314, RHC English in `DXers Unlimited` instead
of 11880. Maybe Arnie saw wolfie`s comment that 11880 was too high to
propagate that late into alleged target Africa. So is this not wrong? 9340, BTW, has not been heard again one single time since I caught RHC
Spanish there, May 1 at 0020 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** CUBA. 13430, 13496, 13562, 13632; 13770, 13840, 13910, 13981,
14040-14068 approx., May 4 at 1350, FM/AM spurblobs out of RHC
13700-AM at 66-71 kHz intervals, in FM mode all with F# tone, the
fringe ones only that as a giveaway. 13562 at S6-S9, and
well-modulated if tuned in FM. The uppermost is very weak and diffuse
INTRUDING inside the 20m hamband, clued only by the tone. Something`s
always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** OKLAHOMA. 90.1-WBFM, Sunday May 3 as usual starting a bit late
after 2000 UT, KUCO-FM with `Wind & Rhythm`, an excellent program of
band music, but not exclusively. A few weeks ago the entire hour was
devoted to Carl Orff`s ``Carmina Burana``, one of my great favorites,
to which I sing along if no one can hear me. Lyrix can be found here:
http://www.classical.net/music/comp.lst/works/orff-cb/carmlyr.php
I can handle the Latin a lot better than the Low-German. This made it quite obvious that a number of sexions were skipped to
fit it into one hour, so I requested that on a future show they play
the rest. The first half this week, #570, did exactly that for ``Glenn
in Enid``. W&R has a huge archive of shows on demand, and this one
should be added soon. The first show from 14 months ago, which I heard
on a more recent repeat, was this:
http://www.windandrhythm.com/episodes/episode-516-carmina-burana
The player shows less than 30 minutes, but you get to the second half
by clicking on the forward arrows (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** SAUDI ARABIA. 17615.065, May 4 at 1347, JBA carrier is the OSOB and
therefore also the SSOB, signature always off-frequency plus. Tnx to
Allah for SRI/SBC, without which we would have no evidence of any
propagation on this band (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2032 monitoring: confirmed UT
Monday May 4 at 0130 & 0230 on WRMI 7780, good via Rochester. Also confirmed UT Mon May 4 from 0300.5 on Area 51 via WBCQ 5130, good
via Rochester SDR. Also confirmed UT Mon May 4 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, fair with jamming at
Rochester, but good with no jamming at Bogotá. Next: 1800vUT Monday IRRS 7290 Romania? to WNW, 594-Italy
0100 UT Tuesday WRMI 7780 to NE
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780 to NE Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts:

Elma NY, who sent a US$ cheque to
Glenn Hauser, P O Box 1684, Enid OK 73702 One may also contribute via PayPal, not necessarily in US
funds, to woradio at yahoo.com
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15770, May 4 circa 1400, WRMI much stronger than usual and
so is 15825 WWCR --- both getting sporadic E boost. Checking DXMAP
later, there are lots of Es patches over eastern USA, at 1622 MUF
hitting 91 MHz over western TN/KY, so FM DX is in prospect (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR) ** U S A. 15555-USB, Sunday May 3 at 2126, I can tell that WJHR gospel
huxter is on, JBA; usually no signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) This report dispatched at 1649 UT May 4
