** CHINA [and non]. Firedrake June 22: none found above 8 MHz until:
13080, fair at 1328, but gone at 1341
14400, good at 1329 // 13080; gone at 1343 but 14700 instead; back on 14400,
poor at 1428 when the others had disappeared
14700, poor-fair at 1347 and 1359, 1400 to open carrier; gone at 1428
16100, good at 1332 // 14400, and 1343, 1359, 1400 to open carrier; gone at 1428
15540, CNR1 jamming with motorboating noise added, June 22 at 1338, // 15265
CNR1 jammer without the noise. Same deal as on 15530, 24 hours earlier, vs V.
of Tibet via Uzbekistan, which must have shifted to 15540 today. The 22 June
Aoki, stamped 1500 UT, still has it on 15530.
15285, at 1429 June 22, major CNR1 jammer went off, uncovering BBC Chinese via
Singapore, with mention of bbcchinese.com but there was still a weaker jammer
way underneath. Wonder what happened?
17560, at 1426 June 22 in Chinese with vuvuzelas, so live from South Africa as
some game was in progress, or halftime. Weaker than adjacent WYFR 17555, but
17560 gone at 1432 recheck. At 1430 V. of Tibet is finished with 17560 via
Madagascar, so turn off the jammer. Tough luck for any poor listener who was
expecting World Cup coverage to keep going on 17560; how rude! (Glenn Hauser,

** CHINA [and non]. 9650, CRI`s China Drive via Sackville, June 22 at 1318 had
heavy QRM and lo het from RNW in Dutch via Tinang which collides during this
semihour only. SE Asian reception not very good but this from PHILIPPINES
stronger than usual, and the two are far enough apart to cause a low audible
het.
I would guess Sackville more likely to be off-frequency, but at 1349 without
PHT QRM, and BFO on, I found CRI 9650 to match whatever was on 13650, Kuwait or
CRI/Urumqi, while 11650 was a tad higher in frequency, presumably KFBS. But
this is all comparative, as I can`t measure each one precisely (Glenn Hauser,

** INDONESIA. 9526-, another day of JBA carrier instead of good signal as
happens some days, Tuesday June 22 at 1321, so we miss another Exotic Indonesia
excursion to Banjarmasin, Kalimantan. Is this all due to propagation
variations, or are there other factors, such as power and azimuth changes?

** LIBERIA. 4025-, weak carrier detectable from presumed Star Radio, June 22 at
0624, and as usual slightly low compared to Cuba 5025 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND. 7440, as I tuned across June 22 at 0619 surprised to hear
English, DU accent. But as I tuned back down to be sure of frequency it had
vanished in only a few sex. 7440 is an RNZI frequency elsewhen, so suspected it
was thence by mistake. Quickly tuned up to 11725, where they are supposed to be
at this hour, and it was missing but cut on at *0620! with same programming in
progress discussing Aussie players of some SBG. Then checked DRM noise and it
was on correct 11670-11675-11680 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K [non]. BBCWS blowing away normal programming for sillyballgame
play-by-play, June 22 at 1426 on 17640. The vuvuzelas certainly have not been
filtered out; weaker on // 17840, both ASCENSION (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
