** BOLIVIA [and non]. 5935.0, Oct 12 at 2344, JBA carrier, and still at 2356 before WWCR blasts on, and not on 5936 as some reports have it as announced(?), presumed R. Yura. Much weaker than Brasil on 5939.8 with enough signal to hear some Brazuguese. And nothing in between.
This on the NRD-545, after first checking the R75 at 2334, when I was instead hearing a JBA carrier on 5936.306: but I must conclude this one was out of a local device, as this receiver is closer to them, such as VCRs, cable TV boxes, set-top boxes, computers, etc., whether they are turned ``on`` or not (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 7470, Oct 13 at 1315, Firedragon musical jamming, poor S9 with flutter. Don`t hear a target. NDXC/Aoki shows the only 7470 victim is RFA Tibetan via Kuwait at 2200-2257 Tuesdays only, yet there is ``CNR1`` jamming on 7470 daily at 1100-1400 against nothing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 9420, Oct 13 at 1322, non-Greek music, heavy flutter. NDXC/Aoki shows two at same time: CNR-13 at 1058-1805, Uyghur, 100 kW, 298 degrees from Lingshi 725 site; AND CNR-6 at 1100-1605, Chinese, 100 kW, 163 degrees from Beijing 491 site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [non]. 11930, Oct 12 at 2349, gospel huxter in Spanish --- can it be R. Martí or something else new following on frequency? Way atop wall-of-noise jamming. Also heavy jamming on 6030, 7365, 7435, 9565 altho RM can be using only two frequencies at once! ``Sermon`` soon ends as it was apparently merely a poetic recitation on a religious theme from the Concurso Internacional de Poesía, in(?) Catalunya; R. Martí ID in passing; a live(?) special transmission from a venue at Universidad de Miami, hosts continue chatting as `Star Spangled Banner` starts playing in background, letra en inglés, by amateur choir, and off-key piano accompaniment.
Occasion is `El Día de la Raza`, i.e. when Colón started massacring natives, and also the day Cubans, gusanos or not, celebrate patron saint ``Virgen de la Caridad``, but never mind if they`re not Roman Catholic. 2352 followed by Cuban NA, a very different version than heard on RHC, again amateur choir and off-key piano. Can`t tell, but I wonder if the pre- and post-revolutionary Cubans utter the same lyrix to it? Finally I can barely tell under jamming that the other RM frequency still running is 9565. Those taking over at 0000 are 7365 and 6030 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CZECHIA [non]. 5850, Oct 12 at 2354, R. Prague via WRMI, unusually with humbuzz on the audio, talking about Esperanto, but really about the ``dream of a pan-Slavic language``, so everyone from Czex to Russkies could understand each other better. Esperanto really doesn`t cut it, altho with some Slavic elements, too much Romance. Tsk2, Zamenhof the Pole (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENNG DIGEST)
** PERU. 5980, Oct 12 at 2330, JBA carrier from R. Chaski, until autocutoff at 2331:47*, which is 48.5 seconds later than last catch a week ago, Oct 5 until 2330:58.5, slippage averaging 6.9 seconds later per (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U K. I was rather taken aback by Laura Trevelyan`s assertion on BBC World News America, 2100 UT Oct 12 airing via OETA OKLA, that the entire city of Santa Rosa, California, had burned down. Certainly it`s devastated, but *all* of it, really? (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7457-USB, Oct 13 at 1315, AF MARS net, headed by AFS4NC, much stronger than any stations replying, as he called Florida, then Alabama. NC probably implies he`s in North Carolina. Searching on call only leads to top hit here of several logs of this also on 7457 and also around this hour, by someone in Maryland, but no info about name or location:

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1899 monitoring: NOT confirmed Thursday Oct 12 at 2230 on WRMI 5850, as displayed on their program schedule: instead, ``Shalom`` and introducing the `Yeshua` show (must be one of those Messianic ``Christian Jew`` things) which is supposed to be on Friday at same time; a mistake? So will WOR appear on Fri at 2230, or Yeshua again? Only monitoring will tell. Perhaps the WOR file did not get uploaded to System H for this block.
WOR 1899 is confirmed Thu Oct 12 at 2330 on WBCQ, 9330.043v-CUSB, poor-fair. Next:

** U S A. 9955, Oct 12 at 2030, WRMI-4 reconfirmed today back to BS, no diverse programming here any more.
7780 // 9395 // 9455, Oct 13 at 1307, WRMIs with survivalist ad, 1309 resume `The Power Hour`, and also on 13845 WWCR which is 23 seconds ahead. At 1400 re-opening TPH on all four, from GCN network, and still at 1428; so yesterday`s Oldies music on the three WRMIs was an anomaly, perhaps default due to lost feed (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 990, Oct 13 at 1251 UT, ad mentioning phones with ACs 785 and 846, loops ENE/WSW?, then ad for ``your hometown bank, Bank of Aurora``. Those clues should nail it, but there is no 846, and AC 785 is northern Kansas, where 990 is KRSL Russell, but no such bank there, and it`s to the north. DF and proximity lead to very likely KRMO Cassville MO, address in Monett, and also near Aurora in southwest MO; 2500/47 watts U1. Trouble is, I can`t find a bank by that exact name, e.g. consulting

** U S A. 1510, Oct 13 at 1259 UT, PSA for Puerto Rico aid, dead air hole instead of ID from 10 seconds just before 1300 UT, and into ESPN Radio with `Mike & Mike`; loops NE/SW, surely KCTE Independence MO, despite failure to legally ID (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VIETNAM. 7906-USB, Oct 13 at 1312, very poor YL in Vietnamese? Presumed Ho Chi Minh Radio Coast Station, as reported periodically by Ron Howard, last time being July 30 at *1305-1310*, so would it still be on at 1312, or turned over to a sibling station? His previous report was May 5 at *1305-1311*, and before that Jan 31 at *1305-1310*, always starting and ending with tones, which I did not hear; could not remember the always // frequency but tuned the 8200-8300 range without finding it; 8294-USB per Ron, who also says, ``Ho Chi Minh Radio is the most powerful coastal station, so is usually well heard. Operated by VISHIPEL (Vietnam Maritime Communications and Electronics LLC``. IIRC this also used to be heard in English, maybe only for urgent safety news (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9494.0-USB, Oct 13 at 1325, INTRUDERS, 2-way in colloquial Spanish, laughter (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
