** CHINA. Firedrake Oct 3: none found in 8-18 MHz chex before and after 1300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [non]. 11675, Poland via AUSTRIA, usual fill music at hourend, Oct 3 at 1257 but with SAH from another carrier. Presumably CRI Hindi via Urumqi, EAST TURKISTAN about to start; the latter weak and alone at 1302 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. Happened to catch RHC making its Sunday-only switch from 13680 to 13750, Oct 3: 13680 went off during IS at 1359* and just a few sex later 13750 open carrier came on, while programming continued uninterrupted on // 13780.
At 1527, the other RNV relay frequencies were on, 17750 and 12010, but all were // RHC interview with a painter, also on 15380, 11730, 11690, and I think weak with QRM, 13680 back on from other transmitter, antenna, while 13780 was gone as it normally is after 1500. 11760 was wrapping up Esperanto and after 1530 also // (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) continued under VENEZUELA [non]
** GUATEMALA. 4055, R. Verdad still inaudible Oct 3 at 0602 when it would normally be in sign-off anthem: no carrier, altho a bit of very weak hash on hi side, probably of household origin, those dratted DTV cable converters. A weak carrier was however detectable on 4050, probably KWMO x 3 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 15795, Oct 3 at 1313, music reminiscent of ``O My Darlin`, Clementine``, but not really, a few words of Chinese before 1315*. No jamming heard, presumably the scheduled AIR Chinese service (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA [and non]. 3325, RRI Palangkaraya once again with an unusually good signal, Oct 3 at 1244 with Indonesian talk, SSOB except WWRB 3185. Much weaker carriers on PNG channels 3365, 3345, 3315, 3290, 3275; China on 3280, Korea North still barely audible on 2850 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1532 confirmed at new time on WRMI 9955, Sunday Oct 3 at 1530, mixed with SAH, presumably YFR Russian via Tainan, TAIWAN; at least it`s close enough to SAH rather than audibly heterodyne. Next WOR play is at 1730 Sunday.
Noel Green in England confirms that the WOR airing at 0630 this Sunday from WWCR-1 was on temporary test frequency 3255 instead of 3215 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

reaffirms that ``Alo, Presidente`` resumes this Sunday Oct 3 after an hiatus since late August, but doesn`t specify the time; it had been starting around 1530 UT, and CUBA had the special frequencies on, 17750, 13750 and 12010, but still with its own programming instead past 1530 Oct 3, and also still at 1557 IDing as RHC, and still at 1607 with ID, sounder and RHC news. 1612 dropped to dead air, and at 1623, 17750, 13750 and 12010 were all still on with open carrier, while RHC programming continued on 11690, 11730, 11760, 13680, 15380. Where are you, Hugo? Apparently Habana gave up waiting for him, but if he show up later, will be in my next report. See also CUBA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 1590, now it`s this frequency with an unexplained tone test, Oct 3 at 0624 UT. I made sure the tone carriers were on both sides, 1589 and 1591, so it`s not an off-frequency, het (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9825, Oct 3 at 0616 open carrier with some whine on it. Nothing scheduled now, but this might be the culprit: DW via SOUTH AFRICA at 0500-0530 on 9825, another lapse by SENTECH (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###
