Glenn Hauser logs June 14-15, 2014

** CHINA. CNR1 jamming June 15:
13850, June 15 at 1254, CNR1 jammer, poor-fair; presumably against an inaudible 100-watt Sound of Hope nuisance unit on Taiwan; 13845 WWCR not yet a problem today
16100, June 15 at 1256, CNR1 jammer, fair-good, ditto target; no others in the 12s, 14s, 17s, 18s, and the usuals in the 15s (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NIGERIA. 15120-AM, June 15 at 0607, Voice fo Nigeria, good signal with news by YL, but undermodulated, with light squeal. You never know whether this will be on the air and/or propagating. Tonight there are many other signals on 19m at this hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 90.1, June 15 at 1310 UT, KUCO is broadcasting dead air instead of `Pipedreams` and from 1330 also nothing from `Sing for Joy` either until cutting on at 1341:04. Same thing happened June 14: at 1600 UT teaser for `The Score`, but at 1606 after the news, more dead air and we gave up after 10 minutes, but back to music at 1638 check. What`s going on here? No one minding the store, even by remote control? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 15380, June 15 at 0608, Qur`an on very poor signal, but none at all usually audible. Aoki shows R. Riyadh HQ service at 0545-0857 and 1200-1357 when it`s more likely, both on same 500 kW, 310 degree beam USward. Also shows CNR1 after 0600 on 15380, not a jammer! But unheard now (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY [and non]. 13635, June 15 at 0611, Turkish music from TRT; fair signal, but too much ACI from 13630 Australia. Turkey making it now tnx to solsticial conditions, 500 kW, 310 degrees USward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
