** CHINA. 13550, May 30 at 1508, JBA carrier, probably a CNR1 jammer
against Sound of Hope as in Aoki/NDXC; no full WOOB survey today
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 6060, May 30 at 0528, once again what is often the best
modulated and signaled RHC English frequency after 0500 is absent;
still on 6100 > 6145 > 6000 in decreasing order of audibility. And
today 5040 is in correct language, English instead of Spanish, but
always with that squeal. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 12200, May 30 at 0535, JBA algo presumed RHC English 2 x 6100
harmonic. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** FRANCE. 7390, May 30 at 0523, French with self-imposed beepery QRM
--- this hour is RFI itself via Issoudun; meanwhile both ALGERIA relay
frequencies, 7295 and 6125 are without the beepery which usually is to
be heard upon 7295; so they must have swapped the defective
transmitter around (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** FRANCE. 11730, May 30 at 0539, VP S1-S2 news in AmeriEnglish, VOA?
0540 switches to French mentioning ``nouvelles catholiques``? So
Vatican, maybe via Madagascar. NO, it`s the French half hour of NHK
via Issoudun -- of course, defaulting to English news at the outset
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS. 13575.047, May 30 at 1427, S3-S5
Chinesish talk. It`s RFA in Cantonese this hour only via TINIAN,
typically askew. Altho Aoki says it`s *jammed, no sign of that. The
ChiCom are not so eager to bother to block broadcasts in insignificant
minolity ranguages (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2036 monitoring: awake by 1155 UT
Saturday May 30, I hasten to check 9955 whether WOR still be at 1130
on WRMI. NO, replaced by some gospel huxtress, outro as Jack Van Impe
show with address in Troy, Michigan. WRMI skedgrid shows this is
supposed to be on SUNDAYS at this hour, so mistake, or now both? BTW,
I had not noticed that JVI died January 18 this year:
https://friendlyatheist.patheos.com/2020/01/19/jack-van-impe-an-apocalyptic-televangelist-has-died/
But like so many other gospel huxters is embarking on a post-mortem
career, tho in the few minutes I only heard her, his widow Rexella
(how`s that for a gender-busting monicker?)? WOR may have been gone
previously from this slot as I have not checked it every week. Next:

** U S A. 17775-, Sat May 30 at 1507, still no signal from KVOH, so
its only airing of `Wavescan` is missed again. I wonder what the
problem be now, same as before disabling it for a biweek until a biday
revival, or something new?
Or is there absolutely no propagation this early? Recheck at 1825, now
it`s on at S9-S6 but undermodulated. There is lots of sporadic E
across the eastern half of USA, very little across the western (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 7665-7725, peaking 7700, 9830-9870 peaking 9850, May 30
at 1425, and also circa 9490 at 1435, local noise blobs have shifted
slightly upward by 20-30 kHz (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15825 & 13845, May 30 at 1530 onwards, WWCRs are getting
sporadic E boost well above normal JBA level. 6m Es DX MAP shows heavy
openings across eastern USA, but only a few spots barely exceeding 88
MHz, i.e. into the FMBC band; normally I need more than that to make
it worth checking here. Below that, however, lots of CB channels have
pileups and hets from all those off-frequency AM units, checked at
1830 May 30: 27025, 27085, 27135, 27165 (``eastern Iowa; south shore
of Lake Erie``); NOT 27185! Also 27205, 27215, 27285, 27295, 27345;
and in LSB not USB: 27385, 27395, 27575. 11m CB can really be hopping,
yet hardly any activity on 10 or 15m hambands.
At 1835-1847 I perform a full bandscan of 30-51 MHz, and hear not a
single voice, just tones/birdies here and there probably out of local
computers. This on the R75, but no VHF antenna, just the HF/MF/LF
longwire, which nevertheless previously succeeded in grasping some 6m
phone USB ham DX from Mexico. I suspect the 30-50 MHz band be very
underutilized these days for local 2-way (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
