** CUBA. 6165, March 28 at 0613, no signal from RHC English. Still on are 6060 with most modulation, 6100 at S9+10, and 6000 most undermodulated. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 9490, March 28 at 1145, pulse and noise jamming with some beeps against nothing. On here way beyond any hours Radio República may still be using it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA [and non]. 7365 >> // 7335, R. Martí until 1400* with no jamming and heard no reference to next frequencies. Uncovers algo on 7365, i.e. from 1400 VOA Chinese via Tinang, PHILIPPINES, or CNR1 jammer.
It seems that main/only Martí 7 MHz frequencies are now 7335 and 7365. Haven`t monitored continuously whether jumping to others at some hours like they did in B-17. Latest HFCC of March 27 still does *not* show 7335 anywhen, just 7365 at 00-03 & 05-07 & 12-14; and 7435 at 03-05 instead, not yet confirmed here. Residual jamming against abandoned frequencies has continued to make a mess of the 7 MHz band.
9805, March 28 at 1142, R. Martí under WON jamming (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [non]. 11725, March 28 at 1351, something new, S9+10 lively song and then W&M Indonesian talk, ID in passing for NHK World, must be giving schedule with WIB times and kHz, also domestic FM relays? This transmission is *not* in latest HFCC or NDXC/Aoki. In B-17 the 1315-1400 Indonesian was on 11925 via PALAU and this may well be too; not scheduled now on 11925 either. But per HFCC A-18 triple-registration by NHK, FCC and by BaBcoCk, all claim this is now supposed to be on 11705! via Palau; mistake? I should have rechecked after 1400 whether English was also on 11725 instead of 11705 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA SOUTH. 5917.477v, March 28 at 1321, weak music from Voice of Freedom, drifting a bit further downward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA SOUTH. 15575, March 28 at 1347, JBA carrier as KBSWR in A-18 is still attempting to serve North America in English via this far-too-high-night-path frequency. It would work just fine on 9 or maybe 11 MHz where plenty of East Asian signals are audible. In fact this hour is // 9570 but aimed at SE Asia and totally covered here by CRI Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MADAGASCAR. 6135, March 28 at 1402, S3-S5 carrier, maybe trace of modulation and no jamming audible. This has now been confirmed as RNM, tnx to German visitor to Antananarivo Andreas Tschauder who heard it locally // 5010 and FM 99.2, A-DX, via Eike Bierwirth and Wolfgang Büschel, and further monitoring afar by Ron Howard and Mauno Ritola. To here, it must be arriving by long path across the Indian and Pacific oceans (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 15110, March 28 at 1345, Chinese S9-S7 with flutter. Scheduled this hour is VOA via Thailand at 14 degrees, and jammed:
according to this version of NDXC/Aoki dated March 27 for A-18
http://www1.m2.mediacat.ne.jp/binews/ut/userlist1.txt
I think it may really be VOA, but this encourages me to tune out-of-band for more jammers below 15 MHz, but none found down to 12 MHz. Remember the good old days with lots of Firedragons especially in the .9s of each MHz band? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1923 monitoring: not awake until 1106 UT Wed March 28 to check 9455 which should have emitted WOR at 1030-1059, but even now it`s a JBA carrier. (But by 1140, it`s huged up to S9-S7 with RAE Portuguese. and << // 9955 even more so, S9+10.) Next:

** U S A. 1130, March 28 at 1402 UT, KLEY Wellington KS is back to ``normal``, i.e. modulated carrier cutting on and off irregularly multiple times per minute, mixed with constant-rate faster noise pulsing.
This has been going on for many weeks now. Does not speak well for the technical prowess of Christopher Miller`s Rocking M Media Group, HQ in Manhattan, with 23 other stations:
http://rockingmradio.com/kley-100-31130/
Like so many station websites, there is *no* info and certainly no contact info about a chief or any other engineer, probably because they have no one with any such responsibility.
IIRC, once before I emailed Miller about the diminished/no signal out of KGNO 1370 Dodge City, and never got a reply (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN [non]. 9610, March 28 at 1144, Vatican News in Spanish with heavy Italian accent, S9 until 1145* cut off during music with no formal sign-off. VN told Greenville to stop after 15 minutes so that`s what they are doing, also at *0145-0200* on 7305; violating Separation of Church and State, 50% less in the mornings, 67% less in evenings. Uncovers weak signal in Chinese, i.e. CRI southeastward from Kunming for the full hour on 9610 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Pacific JBA MW carrier search: 774, March 28 at 1148 on the R-75, so I then do a bandscan on the DX-398 at 1156-1204: 747-NW, 693-NW?, 666-NW, 594-NW, 567-NW, 828-NW, 846-WSW, 1098-W and nothing higher (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11410-USB, March 28 at 1353, Indonesian? semi-singing off and on, presumably a QSO pirate infesting this bandbit (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
This report dispatched at 1651 UT March 28
