** BRAZIL. 11735-11865, Oct 12 at 0557, noise level is slightly elevated in this area, and suspected coming out of the 11780 RNA transmitter amid it. No specific peaks.
11745 & 11815, Oct 13 at 0525, weak extremely distorted spurs again audible // 11780. Here we go again (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BURMA [non]. 7390, Oct 12 at 1330, good signal with ragged start of RFA Burmese: from open carrier to bit of unrelated music, then sign-on in English. It`s via TINIAN, 250 kW at 280 degrees. Not synchronized with weaker 9335 TIN but presumed //, deliberately offset to even out power consumption, 250 kW at 279 degrees, and also the previous hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. ChiCom jamming morning of Oct 13:
13830, Oct 13 at 1315, Firedrake! Very poor, with CCI from target, or CNR1 too?
14920, Oct 13 at 1318, CNR1 jammer, very poor with flutter, // 11785; none in the 12s or 13s
15940, Oct 13 at 1319, CNR1 jammer, fair with flutter // 14920
16100, Oct 13 at 1323, CNR1 jammer, JBA // 15940 but not synched
16450, Oct 13 at 1324, CNR1 jammer, very poor // 15940; none in the 17s or 18s (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NEW ZEALAND [and non]. 11725, Oct 13 at 0524, no signal from RNZI? No, there it is, but very weak instead of the usual bigsig. At 0527, can`t hear Australia on 13630, 15240, 15300 either. Strange propagation; while e.g. VATICAN in English achieves a fair signal on 11625, as well as 11650 which is Vatican carrying R. Dabanga (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 15115-15120-15125, Oct 12 at 1948, DRM noise, V. of Nigeria, now scheduled 1830-2000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OMAN. 15140, Oct 12 at 1948, Arabic music on fair signal, RSO`s all-day frequency, and much better than e.g. 15540 Kuwait`s English. 15140 registered as 100 kW at 315 degrees, i.e. across Milano and Miami, missing the rest of the USA (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1742 monitoring: not checked but presumed at NEW time of 1000 UT Sunday Oct 12 on WRMI, 5850, aimed 355 degrees. Any reports of hearing this, and how well, from the Americas to Asia will be welcome. Confirmed, Sunday Oct 12 at 2300 on WRMI, 11580, good signal and no QRM. Confirmed on Area 51 webcast, UT Mon Oct 13 from 0302, and presumably also via WBCQ 5110v-CUSB. Next:
Tuesday 1100 on WRMI 9955
Wednesday 0630 & 1430 on Hamburger Lokalradio 7265-CUSB
Wednesday 1315 on WRMI 9955
Wednesday 2100 on WBCQ 7490v

UNIDENTIFIED. 9825, Monday Oct 13 until 0530* open carrier goes off. I suppose it`s WHRI, altho not exactly matching their HFCC registration of 0430-0500 Sat & Sun and 0500-0600 daily at 47 degrees? However, WHR schedule athttp://www.whr.org/Frequencies.cfm
shows no usage of 9.825 at all!
Also a good opportunity to search their program schedule on Overcomer, which Ivo Ivanov reported had departed WHRI, but we still get this segment only: daily 10-12 on 11565 from A2 in SC. Is that correct? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
