** AFRICA [non]. 11995, Feb 10 at 2024, French talk over awful vuvuzela noise, so I assume it`s some silly ballgame being covered by RFI as scheduled here 18-21 from Issoudun, FRANCE.
15150, Feb 10 at 2024, same background noise as on 11995, mentions Nigeria and Burkina Faso, teams? Language maybe Hausa. Nothing in HFCC, so a special booking, whence?
15400, Feb 10 at 2025, more vuvuzela noise like 15150 and 11995. Finally decide commentary here is in English but very heavily accented, as BBCWS is scheduled 15-21 via ASCENSION (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BELGIUM [non]. 17870-17875-17880, Feb 10 at 2022, no DRM noise today from BRB`s The Disco Palace Radio via GUIANA FRENCH: is it off temporarily or permanently? Still scheduled at 20-21 thru 31 March (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA [and non]. 17730, Feb 11 at 0103, Firedrake, poor mixing with something. Aoki shows it`s Radio Free Asia in Tibetan at 0100-0300, 250 kW, 230 degrees from Ulaanbaatar, MONGOLIA, a site not ever acknowledged by RFA, presumably on request of the host country. Checked a few other FD frequencies in the 15s, 16s, 17s, 18s but found none (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6145-6185, Feb 11 at 0050, RHC English service at 0100 is already on early and modulating Spanish instead from 6165, with heavy splatter out to here, including overriding Brasil 6180. Fortunately cleared up somewhat by 0100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MYANMAR. 7110, Feb 11 at 0052, JBA carrier. Since we never hear 7110 in our mornings any more, thought I would try for it by evening grayline, when Thazin Radio is allegedly still on air at 2330-0200 in Kachin and Chin, 50 kW, 356 degrees from Naypyidaw per Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU [and non]. 5980.0, Feb 11 at 0100* CNR1 jammer after timesignal, uncovering very weak music from R. Chaski, Urubamba, as usual; by 0104 it`s slightly stronger, but no problem hearing exactly when the carrier cuts off: 0105:49, four sex later than last night. It may be between 4 and 5 seconds, but hard to split them on my watch to which I always apply current correxion factor from WWV (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 15620-15670, Feb 10 at 2020, modulation spike spurs from 15825 WWCR are spreading across this approx. range (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 9272.9, Feb 11 at 0054, WINB is back on this off-frequency like last night, meanwhile having reverted to 9265 in the morning. This carrier remains stable, unlike the wobbly ones when on 9265 and 13570. So another transmitter? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 5990, Feb 11 at 0101, after very strong CRI via CUBA has closed, still a fairly good open carrier here with some fading, but no modulation. Aoki shows two on air after 0100: AIR in Sindhi, 250 kW, 334 degrees from Delhi/Khampur; and PBS Qinghai in Tibetan, 50 kW, 206 degrees from Xining (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
