** CHINA [and non]. Firedrake jamming, morning of June 7:
15195, June 7 at 1330, Firedrake fair, while 15115, 15265 and all the rest are CNR1:
14920, June 7 at 1257, CNR1 jamming, fair; but not after 1300
15540, June 7 at 1338, CNR1 jamming, very poor, VOT het on hi side
15585, June 7 at 1338, CNR1 jamming, very poor, VOT het on lo side
16100, June 7 at 1329, CNR1 jamming, fair; none in 17s, 14s, 13s, 12s
16450, June 7 at 1258, CNR1 jamming, good; but not after 1300
16750, June 7 at 1258, CNR1 jamming, good; but not after 1300
17300, June 7 at 1259, CNR1 jamming, very good; but not after 1300
18990, June 7 at 1326, SAH between two very weak signals, no doubt CNR1 jamming vs RFA Tibetan via Kuwait as scheduled in Aoki for Sat & Wed during this hour
19000, June 7 at 1259-1300*, weak CCI, no doubt CNR1 jamming and RFA Tibetan via Kuwait as scheduled in Aoki for Sat & Wed during this hour

** CHINA. 11660, June 7 at 1247, poor signal in English discussion about computers/devices. Soon lost interest when found // 9760 CRI, but a couple seconds behind it, a minor point which is a reason for not ignoring this log. Sites? Also wondering how many frequencies are carrying this hour of CRI English.
EiBi by time does not show 11660 at 12-13; for that we have to go back to 11-14 where it`s Kashgar [EAST TURKISTAN]. 9760 isn`t in the 12-13 block either; for that we have to scroll down to the 12-14 entry, where it`s Kunming. Other listings on an hour-by-hour basis, such as the Broadcasts in English booklet from the British DX Club have all the 12-13 frequencies in one entry: 15 on SW, 4 on MW (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 15310 & 15400, June 7 at 1330, RHC very poor leapfrogs are back, as is fundamental 15340 which had been missing for four days, while 15370 remained. Earlier at 1258, 15370 was already going while 15340 was open carrier (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. After bits of fitful Es earlier on channels 2 and 4, June 7 at 0401 UT I find some Spanish on 3 peaking WSW, so probably XHBC Mexicali. But have to shoot thru a lightning storm almost upon us from the west, so, disconnect (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5085, June 7 at 0539 I notice that WTWW-2 is off, so BS has to make do with only a dozen other frequencies; but 5830, WTWW-1 is on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7730, June 7 at 0543, surprised to find some Mideast-sounding music, followed by other ethnic tunes, until off at 0600* with no announcements whatsoever. Has to be WRMI on its unique frequency, recently extended to 0600 but supposedly with Brother Scare. Definitely not // 11825, 9955, 7570, 5950, 5015. Graphic grid dated June 4 still shows 7730 with `C` programming too. Maybe an anomaly with filler, and if so a shame, since the content was so much more enjoyable (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
