** CHINA. Firedrake May 3: at 1353 on 13970, but not heard on any higher frequencies. At 1415 also on 9000 somewhat stronger than 8400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6110, with lite DCJC pulsing against nothing at 0636 May 3. Must be totally uncalled-for leftover jamming from the one hour VOA Spanish uses 6110 at 2300, when it is also uncalled for, not being Radio Martí. Every frequency-hour Cuba jams VOA should be answered by IBB jamming RHC English in retaliation.
Same leftover jamming pulses audible on 9545 and 9565 at 1411 May 3, nowhere near the real times those are occupied by República and Martí respectively (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA [non]. VOI has become so reliable on 9525 in English at 13-14, but did not check it before 1400 May 3; at 1419 nothing but CRI Russian was audible, when they are usually colliding. So was VOI also gone during the previous hour? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS [and non]. More late-night trans-Pacific openings as high as 13 meters: May 3 at 0631, 17880 with dialog in Chinese; 17510 with different Chinese, woman speaking; 0633 also 21550 just barely audible // 17880 but slightly offset. Presumed R. Free Asia on 21550 Tinian and 17880 Saipan, while Aoki shows 17510 as RFA in Tibetan via Tajikistan during this hour only, so most likely I was hearing ChiCom jaming on that one, if not the others (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Usual super signal from WWRB missing from 9385, May 3 at 1410, altho nearby WWCR was in on 9980, and WTJC on 9370v. Presumably off the air, and consequently the 9317 and 9453 spurs also absent! At 1733 recheck, 9385 was audible but relatively weak. Transmitter, or propagation problems? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. Aló, Presidente service via CUBA finally revived on Sunday May 3: at 1520 check with non-live Chávez speech mixed with music, best as usual on 13750; weak on 13680 mixing with Chinese, which is CRI via Kashi, East Turkistan, commies vs commies; 17750 undermodulated; 11690 an echo apart from the others; new 12010, undermodulated with persistent RTTY on hi side 12015. 1732 recheck, still going with Chávez speaking, best on 13750; and now 17750 mixing with WYFR which starts at 1700 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
