** CHINA. CNR1 jammer search, Nov 10 at 1350, none WOOB higher than
JBA carriers on 10920, 10720; at 1353, JBA or JBACs on 9215, 9290,
9315, 9320, 9340, 9355, 9370 --- but per Aoki of these, 9290, 9340,
9355 and 9370 are all something else (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. Evening CNR1 jammer search WOOB, Nov 10 from 2310: JBA or
JBA carriers, u.o.s. Strong 13070 S6-S9 brought up on second receiver
for easily // chex. Started tuning down from 14000; there may have
been some above: 13160, 13130, 13070, 12880, 12835 S5-6, 12820, 12550
S6-8, 12500 S6-7, 12230 S6-7, 12210, 12190.

At 2319, 11775 inband // 13070.

From 2321: 11750 S4-6, 11580 S3, 11520 S3, 11500 S2, 11440, 11170,
11150, 11120, 11100 S6-8, 10970 S7-8, 10920 S7-8, 10870 S5-6, 10820
S4-6, 10160 S8-9! - but avoids the ``30m`` hamband up to 10150.

From 2327: 9180, 9200 S9+20/25, 9215 S7, 9230?, 9300 S7-8 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 6090, Nov 11 at 0005, poor Chinese not // CNR1 11070 etc.,
rather CNR2, China Business Radio. Aoki/NDXC shows site Golmud 916,
while EiBi shows q which is really the same:
q-Ge'ermu/Golmud "916" (Qinghai) 36N26-95E00
Would you believe Aoki/NDXC still shows on 6090 the Anguillan part of
Great Britain; and Bandeirantes/Brasil.

6080, Nov 11 at 0006, CNR1 at S9+10 not a jammer but // 11070 which
is; site also q, only one myriahertz separate from 6090 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 11790, Nov 10 at 2318, discussion in American English, so
likely CRI, certainly not VOA! Yes, sked CRI 23-01 via Xianyang site;
and not hearing any RHC spur from 11800 which is fairly strong; nor on
11810 but something else, per Aoki/NDXC CNR8 in Mongolian from Beijing
site (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. 15125, Nov 11 at 0013, English narration with music, and
voicing-over a bit of Chinese, so it`s CRI via Beijing site for SE
Asia but good here, noticed when tuning 15120 for absent CRI relay via
Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6100, Nov 10 at 0653, RHC English is suptorted here, but OK
on 6145, and 5040 still on; plus 6000 but undermodulated. Now the
nominal English hours on 5040 should be 00-01 & 06-07 only.
Something`s always wrong at RHC. BTW, the ``African`` hour in English
in B-seasons had been at 2200 but I have not hunted for it since that
disappeared mid-summer when it was at 2300 on 7380 // 5040 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13700, Nov 10 at 1345, RHC is not on here but is on 13740.
Aoki/NDXC shows 13740 Bejucal at 12-14, and 13700 Bauta at 14-16, but
they usually overlap considerably. EiBi agrees with NDXC except puts
both in Bauta. No spurs possible with 13700 off, but Mark Coady had
some the following hour today (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 5990, Nov 11 at 0010, JBM Spanish, wonder if an RHC program?
No, not // 6000, 11760 or 11950 and eventually talking about China, so
CRI relay as scheduled; however, no signal on // 15120. Something`s
always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Nov 11 at 0010, RHC Spanish discussion of US politix,
running 5 seconds behind 5025 R. Rebelde, so both are simulcasting the
`Mesa Redonda` TV show; also on // 11950 at 0018 only S6 and JBM. But
not on any other RHC channel, own Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** JAPAN [and non]. 7445, Nov 10 at 0656, quite a collision here,
BBCWS in English until 0659.5*, and something in Japanese at equal
level --- one transmitter with double feed, or two? No SAH detectable.
B-20 HFCC shows BBC ASCENSION at 0600-0700, but NHK is not supposed to
start until 0700! It does keep going solo after BBC quits, timesignal
at ToH. This one is 300 kW, 85 degrees direct from Yamata for CIRAF 14
& 16 = Chile, Argentina, most of Uruguay and half of Paraguay &
Bolivia, at 0700-0900 UT, i.e. starting at 3 or 4 am local! Are the
Japanese immigrant community there known for early-rising? This would
be much better suited for Hawaii on the way at 9-11 pm HST! But this
morning turned on a bit earlier? Aha, Aoki/NDXC shows *0655, and also
that 7445 BBC is *jammed; its 65-degree azimuth across Africa must be
intruding into Chicomland, where far too many Mandarins understand
English and otherwise would risk corruption by the truth (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** MADAGASCAR. 9515, Nov 10 at 2026-2028*, soft orchestral music,
maybe looping as an IS? Good with some flutter. It`s AWR French aimed
USward across Africa at 320 degrees from Talata with 250 kW from
2000.

9855, Nov 10 at 2029, open carrier at S9/+10, 2030 NHK World Radio
Japon opening in French, somewhat undermodulated. Could be same Talata
transmitter just closed on 9515; now it`s 250 kW at 305 degrees (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NICARAGUA. 8989-USB, Nov 10 at 2327, VP Spanish with predicator
exaggerated self-confident intonation, presumed the fisher-preacher in
or near Nic waters (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** PERU [non]. 5980, Nov 10 at 2316, no trace of a carrier from R.
Chaski, just Cuban pulse jamming originally for now vacated Radio
Martí, and also some bubble jamming centred circa 5980.3 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5896.50-USB, Nov 11 at 0015, MARS net with sporadic voice
contacts, blaaps; one clear fonetik ID from AFA6PY, but where? Hardly
any hits searching on call, not even license plates. Have had several
logs since 2016 of MARS net here around this hour, just outside the
ITU official 5900+ SWBC band, despite loads of stations down to 5800;
but no QRM to this net now (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 2059 monitoring:

whether 5850 WRMI is really running WOR then? Tnx.

** U S A. 9395, Nov 10 at 1354, WRMI-6 is back on! At full power and
modulation, S9/+10 with Oldies, IDs. Had been off for two sesquiweeks,
since Oct 20 with very serious problems as discussed in the WOR iog.
Also still on at 2024 check with interminable SMTV ID including this
and the other WRMI frequencies with general nominal coverage areas.

9955, meanwhile, Nov 10 at 2029, WRMI-3 is still BSing // 9980 WWCR
and 9455 WRMI; 9955 had been reactivated daytimes in place of 9395.
Maybe now it will resume radio silence between 15 and 21, later after
15 on weekends. 9395 runs 24 hours, with quite a variety of Systems
input depending on time, per http://www.tinyurl.com/WRMIfqs ---
C, F, G, H, J. The transmitter grid has been updated as of today.
WRMI posted this on disgraced FB, 42 minutes before 2204 UT Nov 10:

``9395 kHz back on the air! We are happy to say that WRMI now has the
frequency of 9395 kHz back on the air. The programs which were
temporarily transferred to 9455 kHz have now returned to 9395, and
9455 kHz is back to its regular programming. Thanks for your patience
while our 9395 kHz transmitter was being repaired, and thanks to our
engineers Don Frish and Pat Travers for all of their work on this
unit.``

As for all three 7 MHz WRMIs severely degraded last evening, they were
back up to usual levels by 0700; must have been an ionospheric
disturbance which later abated (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** VIETNAM. 11719.9, Nov 10 at 2320, poor S4 in tonal language; per
Aoki/NDXC it`s VOV-1, nominal 11720 from a station replete with
offfrequenciness.

12018.8, Nov 10 circa 2317, another longtime cockeyed VOV JBA carrier,
scheduled now in Indonesian on rounded `12019` per EiBi but this
block of languages absent from Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9292.2-USB, Nov 10 at 2329 as I am scanning for CNR1
jammers, some 2-way in Spanish; cambio (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
