** CHINA. 15125, Nov 5 at 0004, news in English, S6/S8. It`s CRI
Beijing site for SE Asia, yet quite readable over here (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 13650, Nov 4 at 2255, open carrier, S7/S9 direct, no doubt
warmup for pointless CRI music fill relay at 23-24; stronger than RHC
itself 13780 at S6/S8. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 6000, Nov 5 at 0008, S9+20/25 of dead air or maybe JBM in
English, or is it Spanish? Aoki & EiBi disagree about this hour of
RHC, where something`s always wrong (Glenn Hausr, OK, WOR)

** PERU. 4775, Nov 5 at 0007, JBA talk, no doubt R. Tarma, which is
never on when I tune late at night (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ROMANIA. 6030, Nov 4 at 2302, algo JBA direct: no, not R. Martí nor
CFVP but RRI as now scheduled in English to W Europe (Glenn Hauser,
OK, WOR)

** TURKEY [non]. 5960, Nov 4 at 2306, NO signal direct from VOT vs
S9+10 high noise level. But also no signal into UTwente at 2345,
rather pop music and soon Chinese announcement. I knew it could not be
TRT since within 1 Hz of 5960.000! Nor on 9610, possible
accidentalternate prolonged after 2130-2230 English. Something`s
always erroneous at Emirler. 5960 is PBS Xinjiang in Urumqi, EAST
TURKISTAN, land of imperialist ChiCom genocide against Uighurs and
other Moslems (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2319 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday
November 4 at 2100 on IRRS SW via AM Italia, 1322.996-, S7 into

LIttle Rock AR. PG is 25 watts at PortaGe la Prairie MB. #1 Canadian,
YXL on 346 also in well (Glenn Hauser, oK, WOR)

** CUBA. 11880, Nov 4 at 1939, Kriyol S5/S6, // 15140 equal, i.e. RHC
on new, rather reactivated after years frequency. For B-15, WRTH 2016
had Creole at 1930 on 11670, but 11880 later, English to Africa at
2200. Surely also the 11880 open carrier I had yesterday at 2148
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA [non]. 15380, Nov 4 at 1731, R. Martí, JBA Spanish S3 into Ft

11930 no signal nor on alternate 15330. WWV reported at 1500, K index
2.00, ``Radio blackouts reaching the R1 level occurred and are
expected.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 275 MCW kHz, Nov 4 at 0718 UT, JBA NDB, H#N? Must be HIN, 25
watts at Chadron/Whitney NE. See also unID 257 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2319 monitoring: confirmed UT
Tuesday November 4 at 0330 on WRMI 7780, S7/S9 into S Texas SDR.

Also confirmed Tuesday November 4 at 1411 the 1400 on WRMI 9955, S7/S9

Also confirmed Tuesday November 4 at 1518 the 1500 on WRMI 9955, JBA
S5 direct. Next:

** U S A. 9930, Nov 4 at 1730, WTWW is off, no signal into Ft
Lauderdale. Had been reliably on all day with TOMBS --- wait, it`s NOT
off at 1759, JBA direct TOMBS, recovering. Propagation really
disturbed:

Potential Impacts: Area of impact consists of large portions of the

area blackout of HF (high frequency) radio communication for about an
hour.`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 257 MCW kHz, Nov 4 at 0717 UT, NDB JBA, seems like FLO,
but no matches close enough listed; usually heard is JYR York NE
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) 

UNIDENTIFIED. 15846-15902 approx., Nov 4 at 1936, multi-carrier,
multi-tones beating against each other, S9, again about 55 kHz wide,
like yesterday at 0613 covering 6860-6915, 0729 at 6895-6950, and
often around 17450. What are these? They could really QRM broadcasters
but seem to avoid doing so, e.g. nothing much in 15 MHz span than SOH
and ChiCom jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
