** BANGLADESH. 15505, June 11 at 1358 JBA tone; 1359:10 BB IS runs past 1400 and cannot detect a timesignal before sign-on at 1400:25 in presumed Urdu (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake, June 11:
7365, fair at 1332
13795, fair at 1207 and periodically checked rest of this hour
CNR1 jamming on usual never-Firedrake frequencies 15195, 15115=mixing other Chinese, at 1324; 11990 poor at 1328; 11805 fair at 1328 with CCI; 11785 fair at 1328; none in the 10s, 9s, 8s
All the rest are CNR1 jamming instead of Firedrake:
13530, very poor at 1326
15545, very poor at 1323, an echo apart from 15800
15570, very poor at 1321 but // 15800
15800, good at 1321 with flutter
15970, good at 1321 with flutter
16100, poor at 1324; none in the 17s, 14s
** CUBA. 6165, June 11 at 0104, RHC English with rumbling when monitored in AM, warble = rapidly varying carrier when monitored with BFO. They STILL haven`t fixed this. // 6000 sounds OK but quite a bit weaker. At 0455, 6165 is still wobbling (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. 530, June 11 at 1205 UT, ``K530AM``, Vance AFB is open carrier/dead air. This thing had been pretty reliable, with no storm or other excuse for it to be dead today, but anyone who axually listens to it must have severe short-term memory loss, as the same PSAs and local gate hours etc., have been repeated every few minutes for months and months. One of those set-it-up, turn-it-on, and forget-it as far as the Communications Squadron is concerned. It *could* be so much more with local ``programming`` or at least a huge rotation of national PSAs instead of only a handful. Now how long till they notice that the modulation has crashed? Still silent at 1438 recheck, and signal strength also seems degraded, but not sure about that (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, June 11 at 0100:45, 5990 CUBA is already off so I can hear the devotional sounder from R. Chaski, and time its cutoff at 0102:18.5* which is another five seconds later than yesterday (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 12105, Monday June 10 at 2042, WTWW-3 is in Arabic; Tuesday June 11 at 1327 in Spanish, more unusual for this daypart (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5050, June 11 at 0056 open carrier dead air from WWRB, which should have started around 0000; still OCDA at 0103 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7555, June 11 at 1148, WEWN with soft Spanish songs sounds like it is being pulse-jammed, or also could be `fast-busy` phone sound, quite regular; fair signal here better than poor // 12050 without this problem. At 1333 after WEWN is off 7555, still hearing the pulsing timed at 200 per minute; ute QRM? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11980, June 10 at 2044 I notice with BFO on that there is a weak RTTY signal here inside the 25m SWBC band, what? --- but I dimly recall that 11975 used to be its upper limit.
There are only three hits on 11980 (none on 11.980) in the UDXF yg among almost 50,000 posts by now, but one of them is just from yesterday:
