** INDONESIA. VOI, which was on 9525.0 instead of 9525.9 the day before, was totally missing Feb 25 at 1343 and 1444 checks --- not even a carrier on either frequency, nor anything on 11785v; what next? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 5910, Shiokaze/Sea Breeze, Feb 25 opening at 1400 with piano music, then YL in heavily accented English, ``from Tokyo Japan``, and giving contact addresses ``if you have any information`` about the abductees. Poor signal today, but presumably stayed in English this semi-hour on Wednesday. No jamming audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** POLAND [non]. 9450, PRES English hour via Germany at 1300 is getting weaker and weaker as equinox approaches, but also with co-channel QRM now, Feb 25 at 1340 check, singing in Polish mixed with YL fluttering in oriental language, possibly Vietnamese. None of the online schedules have yet caught up with this, showing nothing but PRES on 9450 during this hour. Could well have something to do with Sound of Hope and extended Chicom jamming which supposedly don`t start until 1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. 5900, at 1400 Feb 25 going from open carrier to ID as Golos Rossii; weak signal, listed as 117 degrees from Samara; maybe long path (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Whenever I check 5920v, all I hear is an open carrier. Presumably nobody at FBN is monitoring their own transmission, or they too would have noticed that WBOH has lost its modulation, and would either fix it or turn it off. First reported Feb 24 at 0650, but still/again the case Feb 25 at 0718. Carrier was extremely strong this time, unlike WWCR 5890 and 5935 which were too close, and turning up the volume on 5920, could barely hear a bit of singing, but not sure it was from the same transmitter. Might have been Russia, or something else. Again at 1356, still just OC, but off-frequency WBOH now making a big het with VOR Irkutsk, Russia as is always the case at this hour whether WBOH is modulating or not. 9370 WTJC was OK, with usual Alex Scourby Bible readings after 1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
