** CUBA. 5040, April 25 at 0432 and still at 0438, open carrier/dead air from
RHC at S9+40 instead of Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** ETHIOPIA. 7234.30, April 25 at 0424, open carrier, dead air
S5-S6, presumably the wandering Addis transmitter, which varies both sides of
7235 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 9525.895,
April 25 at 1352, VOI very weak carrier measured here during presumed English
hour, and no hets from 9520, 9525 or 9530 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** MADAGASCAR. 9480, April 25 at 0412 check, APR English via MWV
is on tonight, S9+20 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA.
7330, April 25 at 0421, pop music in English, what else but RRI for early-risers
in Francophone France; fair signal, and LSB tuning needed to avoid 7335 Cuban
jamming and Radio Martí (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH
CAROLINA [non]. 13695, April 25 at 1436 as I tune across WRMIBS, the LDPOG is
replaying for the n-th time his bit responding to one Glenn Hauser, who
commented a few months ago about his shoveling more and more dough toward WRMI
and being put on more and more frequencies, even if they don`t make sense
propagationally; goal to be on 100 SW frequencies, etc., etc. (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN. 7205.00, April 25 at 0423, open AM
carrier, so Omdurman is back on nominal after foray to 7206.00 (and previously
7204.00; why bother?) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SUDAN
[and non]. 11651.255, April 25 at 0546, jammer carrier here makes het against
11650.0, R. Dabanga via VATICAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** TIBET [non]. 11507, April 25 at 1357, JBA carrier, no doubt V.
of Tibet, abutting a stronger carrier with modulation on 11505, no doubt the
CNR1 jammer for it. Today`s Aoki shows 11507 via TAJIKISTAN at 1335-1400
following 11513 at 1300-1335 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** VIETNAM [and non]. 6175, April 24 at 0426, Vietnamese rock at
S9+30, tail of VOV Spanish via WHRI; 0427:40 cut to BaBcoCk IS, 0428 cut to WHRI
promo in English for more gospel huxter clients, as they always do next to VOV
relays, rather incongruously, since Vietnam jams Christian broadcasters into the
country, e.g. via Philippines; what bedfellows.
This raises the question
of T8WH PALAU, a.k.a. HBN in HFCC listings, for the long-defunct US callsign
KHBN, the WHR station which is registered A-16 for a number of transmissions,
daily u.o.s., at least partially in Vietnamese, which are bound to be religious
or clandestine, and surely subject to jamming. But HFCC language info is
notoriously unreliable. Many of these are partly in ``English``, so further
research needed to narrow down any real Vietnamese language
portions:
9930, 1200-1230 Fri only – we know this one is clandestine Quê
Me, so jammed? Please check. It would certainly seem eligible, since per WRTH
2016 page 515, based in France, it`s produced by Action for Democracy in Vietnam
and its international organ Vietnam Committee on Human Rights. Quê Me, which is
also supposed to have a dot under the e of Me, means Motherland. However, one
semi-hour per week is not much of a threat. Other partially Vietnamese HFCC
entries for HBN:
9930, 1500-1800 & 2200-2400
9965,
2200-2400
15455, 0000-0600
15660, 0600-1100 & 2200-2300
15690,
2300-2400
Further research in Aoki shows many of these are not really on
at all for the full registered span; and no Vietnamese via Palau except for Quê
Me, so now another interesting question arises: does SRV government business
buying time on WHRI for VOV also ``encourage`` WHR not to broadcast via T8WH any
Christian (or clandestine other than Quê Me) programs in Vietnamese or minority
languages? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
