** ROMANIA. 11930, Feb 23 at 0652, surprised to encounter something in
English, S7/S9 direct, in fact the SSOB = strongest signal on band.
Normally nothing but leftover Cuban jamming against R. Martí, but none
audible now. EiBi shows the only 11930 besides RM at 14-01 is RRI
Galbeni to Europe at 0630-0700; Aoki lax RRI but adds Riyadh, Sa`udi
Arabia in Arabic at 1755-2257. Is that really on air? We could hardly
notice it here vs the Cuban radio war. Std remark about avoiding any
frequency ever jammed by Cuba, tho RRI in luck this time. Aoki also
fails to * Martí as jammed! nor does EiBi show any separate entries
for noise jamming. HFCC nothing but RM and RRI but the latter as N =
DRM! 90 kW 300 degrees from Galbeni: certainly not, this in AM. Not in
drmrx.org either. RRI own B23 English sked shows only two DRM
frequencies elsewhen, not including 11930:

** SPAIN. 9690, Fri Feb 23 at 2300, token English from SNR, sufficient
direct on DX-390 with clipon, 2301 news, first items about a major
fire, and corruption case concerning COVID masks; much better on R75
with shortwire: 2309 contact info by Justin Coe, including they
especially enjoy postal mail; as if he were still there. 2310 feature
interview with an expert about the impending 2nd anniversary of
Russia`s war on Ukraine (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY [and non]. 5960.005, Feb 23 at 2308, VOT English a JBA
carrier direct vs HLNL. 2333 into UTwente, when measured, S9+30/35,
during `Turkish Folk Tales`; 2337 ``with-you-every-hour`` promo,
music; 2342 ``always-by-your-side`` promo, `That`s Why` voiced by the
badax so I have no idea of the subject; 6CI undercurrent. 2348
``w-y-e-h`` again, music. 2353 s/off for the 1330 broadcast only, 2354
IS; still on at 0000 Feb 24 timesignal, into German. On & on, same
liners/jingles/themes as in English. 0059 recheck *still* on air with
IS, 0100 s/on Luso-Portuguese! Takes about 2 minutes to recite all the
satellite parameters, etc., not copied in detail but with Turkish
times, one at 22h and this one at 04. Supposedly no Portuguese at all,
but someone recently heard them announce 7280 at this time, so now
intentional? Time yes, but nothing on 7280. By 0103 I recheck 5960:
now it`s suddenly off, uncovering Chinese from XJRTV, EAST TURKISTAN,
land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Muslims;
trying to outdo Turkey against the Armenians? 0104 I check 7280 again
and *now* it is on in Portuguese, VG really 7280.006. Somethings`
always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
