Glenn Hauser logs June 3-4, 2014

** CHINA. CNR1 jamming, Tuesday June 3, a big ex-day in China, but jamming seems no worse than usual, which is heavy:
15115, June 3 at 1310, CNR1 jammer, good with CCI, VOA Chinese via Thailand; always a big collision audible here at 13-14
15195, June 3 at 1310, CNR1 jammer, fair; vs RFA Tibetan via Tajikistan, no sign of it here
15265, June 3 at 1310, CNR1 jammer, fair with het, CCI, vs RTI Chinese via Tainan, always off-frequency, I think rather than the jammer
15550, June 3 at 1308, CNR1 jammer, fair, het on lo side = V. of Tibet, 15548 via Tajikistan at 1300-1315 per Aoki
15560, June 3 at 1308, CNR1 jammer, poor, het on lo side = V. of Tibet, 15557 via Tajikistan at 1240-1304 per Aoki, too late?
17480, Tue June 3 at 1305, CNR1 jammer, very good: must be vs BBC Uzbek via Thailand at 1300-1330 but supposedly only Sun/Mon/Wed/Fri
17510, June 3 at 1305, CNR1 jammer, good; none in the 16s, 18s. 17510 is the BBC Uzbek 1300-1330 frequency via Oman on Mon/Tue/Sat per Aoki
17740, June 3 at 1401, CNR1 jammer, good; no target, anything in Aoki
18980, June 3 at 1358, CNR1 jammer, good, none now in the 17s, 16s, 14s, 13s, 12s. Vs RFA Tibetan via Kuwait at 13-14 on Tue & Fri, Aoki

CNR1 jamming, Wednesday June 4:
13795, June 4 at 1327, CNR1 jammer, very poor; no target in Aoki
13830, June 4 at 1327, CNR1 jammer, very poor but // 17575; target is R. Free Asia, Tibetan via Tajikistan at 11-14
15535, June 4 at 1354, CNR1 jammer, poor, vs V. of Tibet 15537
15540, June 4 at 1325, CNR1 jammer, poor, vs V. of Tibet 15542
15565, June 4 at 1325, CNR1 jammer, poor, vs V. of Tibet 15563
15570, June 4 at 1354, CNR1 jammer, poor, vs V. of Tibet 15568
17480, June 4 at 1322, CNR1 jammer, fair, a few seconds behind 17575
17575, June 4 at 1320-1330*, CNR1 jammer, good, vs BBC Uzbek via Oman at 1300-1330 Sun/Wed/Thu/Fri; none in the 12s
18990, June 4 at 1325, very poor signal unseems // 17480 or 17575, so maybe RFA Tibetan via Kuwait itself; however at 1347 now it`s CNR1 jammer, very good with flutter, // 13830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 9820, June 3 at 1402, RHC is just barely modulated, but unusually stronger than // 9550 which both stay on past 1300.

15340, June 3 at 1310 and 1358, RHC absent from here, but going strong on 15370; ditto June 4 at 1327. One major transmitter down? Maybe more frequencies missing at other dayparts. Tsk2, no 15310, 15400 leapfrogs

17580 & 17730, June 4 at 1348, RHC seems absent here too, but JBA carriers. Propagation unfavorable to `close` signals while East Turkestan, Spain are good on this band (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** KUWAIT [and non]. 15540, June 3 at 2010, R. Kuwait with western pop music, even qualifying as the SSOB among stations outside North America. Tuning upward from 15000, 19m is empty! till I get to a very weak signal on 15515, I suppose Australia which starts at 2000. All the single-hop US stations are above 15540 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** RWANDA. 17800, June 4 at 0616, DW relay is VG in the summer nightmiddle, English discussion of TB in Africa; // weaker 15700, and an echo apart altho both are Kigali, 295 and 280 degrees respectively, per Aoki, which also shows both are *jammed by China (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
