** CHINA. 13920, Feb 4 at 2311, S8/S9 VP Chinese with Doppler flutter,
no doubt CNR1 jammer of SOH; also 14980 and even weaker 14920 JBA
carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. 15755-15760-15765, Feb 4 at 2315, DRM noise. EiBi shows CNR1
DRM 21-17 UT, from qq site; and guess what, it`s also a SOH frequency.
Kudos to the DRM Consortium for providing another way to jam (Glenn
Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 13650, Feb 4 at 2309, NO signal from CRI ``Portuguese``
relay. Its unreliability also noted by Rick Barton, Sun City AZ:
``13650 CUBA CRI (via Quivic?n site) at 2300, carrier up on-the-hour,
and going straight into the canned Chinese restaurant mood music that
would otherwise be Portuguese to Brazil. (NOT heard at all on 1/28)
--- Poor to Fair 1/26 (Barton-AZ)`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 12030, Tue Feb 4 at 2257, again NO signal from this REE for

** VATICAN [non?]. Re 15565, VR in Amharic at 1530, supposedly SMG
site but incredibly strong way back here, Gianni Serra replies to my
obs that MADAGASCAR relay would be more likely:
``--- According to Vatican Radio (VR) B24 schedules: ?
https://www.vaticannews.va/en/short-waves.html
VR 15565 kHz 1530-1600 in Ethiopian programme (Amharic) is via Santa
Maria di Galeria (SMG), Vatican (see schedules for Africa, as well as
VR Downloadable Global Short Wave Frequencies Chart)
--- I monitored on 15565, 02.04.2025 1525-1550 with s/on at 1526:44?,
VR Interval Signal loop, Laudetur Iesus Christus and some
announcements by man in German (presumed), music pause, and talk
program by man in listed Amharic; heard with FM like audio, with
always strong and steady signal in AM with aux audio filter (S9+25 of
peak); certainly from SMG site.
--- SMG site is in an area north-west from Roma, Italy, around 24 km
-14.9 miles circa - as the crow flies from my home in south of Roma.
73, Gianni Serra``
Missing/deleted in NASWA Flashsheet was an extremely important aspect
of my log of this, that at same time Feb 2, two ROMANIA frequencies on
19m, 15250 & 15370 were incredibly weak and with extreme Doppler
flutter during disturbed propagation; how could those be over similar
path from Europe while VR inbooms?
OK, if it has to be SMG, that further bolsters my original /
alternative explanation that VR is radiating at least equally off the
back of their SE azimuth, or even has their azimuths reversed. Hard to
dispute ``local`` quality reception in Roma, but note that if via MAD
to the NW, would also be aiming back toward Italy, and USA beyond.
More on this! From Terry Krueger, Niceville FL: ``13830, VATICAN,
Vatican Radio, Santa Maria di Galeria, 1550. 26 JAN 2025. Amharic
(listed) man, clear and fair. RV interval signal briefly at 1557. What
happens to this tiny and equally landlocked extraterritorial Holy See
property once Vatican Radio eventually shuts down? Retirement condos
for Catholics?`` and:
``13830, MADAGASCAR, Vatican Radio, Talata-Volonodry, 1600 26 JAN
2025. Seamlessly up after Amharic via Santa Maria di Galaria ends and
same level, supposedly in Swahili. Really via two sites?``
Unlike 15565, which is listed as SMG before and after 1600, // 13830
is listed as switching from SMG to Madagascar at 1600. More something
really fishy here (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
