** CHINA. Firedrake June 17, scanning 8-20 MHz, 1321-1335 found only:
11100, fair at 1326
13100, good at 1330
The usual CNR1 jammers were in well on 11 and 15 MHz bands (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6060, 6010 and 5970 June 17 at 0657, RHC YL introducing new and reduced 60-minute English broadcast which is not supposed to exist after 0700. Usual disparity in audio and strength among the // frequencies.
15360, June 17 at 1354 Despertar con Cuba with very distorted audio, while // 15380, 15120 were OK. Both 15360 and 15380 peak around S9+5, no spurs audible, but probably not enough signal yet on fundamental. Poor propagation with only the strongest, nearest signals making it at all on 19m (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. After more than a week of reliable signals with good modulation, not even a carrier from VOI could be detected June 17 at 1323 or 1343 on 9525.9. Other E Asian signals on 31m band with hi noise level were poor but audible, e.g. 9735 Taiwan in Japanese; somethings on 9680 maybe including RRI (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [non]. 11655, NHKWNRJ, via Sackville, June 17 at 1327 playing ``Can`t Buy Me Love``, // weaker 11815 direct. I assume they were not pretending to be a spy station of yore; but it`s rather mystifying why NHK thinx they need to broadcast classic western pop music via a North American relay with announcements only in Japanese, while relays in English are reduced every season (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17775, surprised to find KVOH at the early hour of 1334 June 17, preaching about Jeová, usual audio distortion, signal fair with fading, but at 1338 hit S9+10. Normally they don`t sign on until 1500. Perhaps could not resist taking advantage of HF sporadic E opening. In fact, FCC schedule says they are supposed to be on 9975 at 13-15, but that frequency is imaginary.
WRTH A-10 update daggers both 17775 and 9975 at 0100-0300 as ``irregular``, implying equality, while 9975 is really imaginary at both times (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
