** CHINA. Firedrake April 5:
11500, good with flutter at 1239
12600, poor at 1241
13970, poor at 1241
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. Dentro-Cuban Jamming Command is still off the mark April 5,
at 1245: VOA Spanish has heavy jamming over it on 15590 and 13750, lighter
pulse jamming about equal to VOA on 9885, while there is NO jamming audible on
9805 R. Mart? with very good signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** GREECE. 15630, April 4 at 1801, ``IFTH`` ID in Greek with frequencies, 1805
playing jazz (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA [and non]. 13640, April 4 at 1742, something in Russian atop CCI, i.e.
per HFCC: CRI Russian 308 degrees via Urumchi, EAST TURKISTAN, and AIR Arabic,
300 degrees via Bangalore, colliding between 1730 and 1800.
13695, April 4 at 1743, AIR IS over CCI talk. 1745 mixed talk from both. HFCC
has nothing but RFI in French here, tho AIR uses 13695 much earlier. Aoki,
however does show AIR GOS starting 1745 on 13695 via Bangaluru; why isn`t that
in HFCC like the earlier AIRs on 13695?
BTW, Google refuses to accept the spelling ``Bangaluru``, instead displaying
238,000,000 hits for ``Bangalore``. That of course is the pass? spelling, so
how about the now preferred ``Bengaluru``? That does work with 32,000,000 hits,
so Aoki has apparently merged the old way with the new way (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ISRAEL. 15785, April 4 at 1754, very poor signal with music in AM mode; or
at least there was a carrier and sounded the same on LSB and USB tuning. Galei
Tzahal had been using USB here; or was that also with reduced carrier? Mauno
Ritola, Finland, also noticed it`s back in AM. At 1800 timesignal and talk in
presumed Hebrew. If they ever move off 15785 to avoid China in the mornings,
maybe back on 15850 thruout? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WORLD OF RADIO 1611, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 15540, April 4 at 1759, 1805 no signal from R. Kuwait. Should have
been audible if on since other ME signals were propagating, even Israel 15785;
Greece good on 15630. Recheck 1950, and now 15540 is on with good signal, rap
music straight thru hourtop 2000+; I preferred the music on 15630, or VOA
Africa 15580 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MAURITANIA. 7245, April 5 at 0532, IGIM on with ululating music, string
instrument, Arabish talkover. Fell asleep to this with my phones on, and roused
exactly three hours later to hear it still incoming at 0832 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 930, April 5 at 1252 UT, WKY Oklahoma City, ``La Indomable`` is
just barely modulated in music; 1256 talk approaches normal level, but is quite
distorted, rather like in a permanent selective-fade. Very unusual for this one
to display any such technical problems (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 15435, April 4 at 1759, BSKSA VG strength in Arabic, but with
continuous crackling superimposed on the audio (i.e. not the audio itself
breaking up), as heard many times before on this transmitter, not // the much
weaker Qur`an frequencies 15225 and 15205, but correlating with the unID `big
buzz` I was hearing earlier at 1346 by itself on 15435, before scheduled *1500.
By 1802 check, all three were off (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 17595, April 4 at 1756, REE is now on with VG signal, having been
absent earlier at 1311. Altho HFCC has this over-registered as daily all the
way from 11 to 22 on overlapping transmissions involving 4 different azimuths,
REE`s own schedule
http://programasdx.com/principal_archivos/frecuenciasreea12.pdf
shows only: M-F 13-15 to NAm in Spanish, M-F 21-22 to SAm Portuguese
So why is it on now? HFCC has it 12-22, 248 degrees to CIRAF 10-14
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1611: first airing Thursday April 5 at 2100 on WTWW
9479; then 0330v UT Friday on WWRB 5050; 0100v-0130v UT Saturday on WBCQ Area
51 5110v-CUSB/LSB. On WRMI 9955: Saturday 0800, 1500, 1730; Sunday 0800, 1530,
1730; Monday 0500, 1130. Also on WRN via SiriusXM 120, Sat & Sun 1730, Sun
0830. Full schedule including many more webcasts at

UNIDENTIFIED. Date and time both missing from my original report of this item,
but no one noticed before I did: it was 1341 UT March 31:
15425-15445, peaking circa 15432, weak propeller noise, and same pitch heard at
15540-15550. That points to spurs equally emanating from a frequency at the
midpoint, circa 15490, but blocked by Firedrake on 15485. So my theory is that
the spurs are from V. of Tibet via TAJIKISTAN which Aoki has on 15487 at this
hour, amid many other split spots for their jammer-evading jumparounds. Or even
from the 15485 Firedrake transmitter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15467.7-USB, April 4 at 1750, intruding Spanish 2-way, the first
word heard being ``co?o``, soon followed by ``puta``. Only one side heard at
first, or else very long pause; 1757 heard ``engine noise`` in background, and
mentioned ``cambiar de bater?a``, poaching or narco-smuggling vessel, I assume

April 5 noted Myanmar Radio on 7200.1 with the same spur again
that Robin Harwood (Tasmania) and I both heard in 2011. Noted clearly // on
7185.86 at 1243, but much weaker than 7200.1. Noted another 1330 sign off
today.
