** CANADA [and non]. 341 kHz, May 13 at 0544 UT, ND beacon YYU and dash, which is 500 watts from Kapuskasing, Ontario; mixing with and weaker than local co-channel EI Enid, but with different pitches and periods, not hard to copy separately. No sign of OIN Oberlin KS, which I was also getting during last log April 4. Storm noise level not so bad tonight (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CONGO. 6115, May 13 from 0525 past 0536 I keep checking for carrier from Brazzaville, but none of it. On May 3, Ron Howard heard it suddenly come on at *0533 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5040, May 13 at 0537, RHC is in Spanish instead of English, which is nominally here at 0500-0600. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 13739.289, May 13 at 1347, RHC S9+10 and auto-knocked off-frequency again today. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH. 11710, May 13 at 1354, VOK is S8-S9 with self-jamming noise, closing English to North America reciting this and some other transmissions, to Europe and NE Asia, but not all of them. Also on weaker // 9435; 11735 is also on in Chinese. Other days hardly any signal at all and wonder if it`s transmission-caused, propagation-caused, or some of both (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MALI. 5995, May 13 at 0525, S8-S9 music, drums, maybe IS loop? And Afrosongs; even with LSB tuning, splatter from 6000 RHC even tho undermodulated as usual. Surely it`s prélude from ORTM turning transmitter on earlier than nominal 0555. WRTH shows domestic service even on FM is not 24 hours, also opening at *0555 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SPAIN. 12030, May 13 at 2258, REE with ME music, presumably rounding out the Arabic service, but transmitter cuts off and back on several times. ID and 2200 starting English, but now cuts off and stays off, while English remains on the other three, 11940, 11670 and 9690. It`s supposed to continue on 12030 too.
REE English this Monday starts with ten minutes of Justin Coe talking about some silly ballgame (tennis) in excruciating detail, including SFX of balls being racketed; at 2210 finally changes to some rock band from New York he`s enamored of. News? What news? Obviously nothing of any consequence is happening in Spain (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TURKEY. 9830, May 13 at 2200-2210, no show from VOT English to North America (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9955, May 13 at 1358, WRMI fill music, 1359.5 Zanotti ID cut off incomplete before he can utter the address, about 10 seconds before 1400*. WRMI automation is often out of alignment. Was checking this since on Friday May 10, 9955 stayed on past 1400 contrary to weekday schedule (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9200, May 13 at 0521 open carrier at S9, slight fades to S8; same as heard before, May 10 at 0613. Such a signal in the nightmiddle is likely to be from circa North America, or maybe Pacific like good signal again from 9700 NZ. Maybe a ute; or Cuban spy number station not known to have been on 9200 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
