** AUSTRALIA. 13660, May 5 at 1351 with heavily produced lively programming in Chinese, caught ``bodiantai`` fragment of an ID; music had that gospel-rock sound, so suspect CVC. Announcer did say ``CVC`` and immediately cut carrier at 1400*. Indeed looked up later in Aoki, it`s CVC via Darwin, 250 kW, 340 degrees, 1000-1400 in Chinese (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGERT)
** CHINA. Firedrake, fair on 13970, May 5 at 1320. Getting to be reliable here tnx to Sound of Hope staying out of 20m band. Scanned higher on 14-18+ MHz but found no others (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. RHC mixing product, 13580, May 5 at 1312 in Spanish interfering with R. Prague in English to NAm, item on a ceremony at the station on this 64th anniversary of the Prague uprising against the Nazis as WW II was about to end. Matching mix on 13880 was in the clear with R5 reception from Habana. RHC will obviously do nothing about this upon my complaint, so R. Prague ought to get on them (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. VOI, day 3 on 11785, May 5 at 1300, detectable opening English hour with heavy QRM from ChiCom jamming sending 5+1 timesignal, and VOA; 9525 still empty. I notified VOI that they should go back immediately to 9525. Lacking that, could we get IBB to move itself and consequently the jamming elsewhere? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH. 7140, just tuned in at 1248 May 5 as national anthem was playing, and off 1249*. Good signal from outlaw nation still broadcasting in the 40m hamband. VOK scheduled 00-04 and 07-13, rounded off; per Aoki supposed to run until 1257, the final hour in Korean, 200 kW non-direxional from Kujang site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH. 11560 with dirty blob of noise, May 5 at 1340; fades so not of local origin. Is there something here to jam? Yes! Aoki shows:
11560 Radio Free Chosun 1200-1300 1234567 Korean 250 70 Dushanbe-Orzu TJK 04511E 4025N _RFC a09
11560 North Korea Reform Radio 1330-1400 1234567 Korean 250 70 Dushanbe-Orzu TJK 06842E 3732N _NKRR a09
The 45E/40N coordinates in the first entry are obviously erroneous (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA [and non]. Some versions of the VOR schedule keep showing 9480 in English at 0000-0300 to Am. I keep looking for it and hearing zero, such as May 5 at 0003. Other European sites were making it, 9665 Moldova stronger than 9890 Russia. If a German relay on 9480 were to be activated like last summer, it would greatly improve VOR reception and reliability in NAm (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** THAILAND. 9455 collision continues May 5 at 1331 check between R. Thailand in Thai, and YFR via Taiwan producing a low het. I have notified YFR about this (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TIBET [non]. CVC Chile, 15410 had a good het from an unidentified carrier on 15412, May 5 at 1324. Must be V. of Tibet via Tajikistan as others have reported, and/or jamming against it. Aoki shows both 15410 and 15425 for the 1300-1330 transmission in Chinese at 131 degrees, so apparently VOT jumps around between these frequencies (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WWRB, 9385 with Brother Scare, May 5 at 1342, splattering 9365-9405; e.g. his screaming could be made out on 9365, in addition to separate spur on 9317, but not audible at the moment on 9453. If he would speak in a normal tone of voice, this might not happen, but that`s no excuse for WWRB not limiting him (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
