** CANADA. 15034-USB, Oct 7 at 2050, despite previous log as missing at 1439, CHR is back on and still `no reports received` and distorted (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 11850, Oct 7 at 2052, open carrier prior to 2100 RHC transmission, and no sign of Romania English scheduled until 2100; nor on its // 13650 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. 6100, Oct 8 at 0556, RHC English at S9+10, but undermodulated; remains best of the sorry lot, as 6165 is JBA carrier, 6000 is S9 but just barely modulated; and 5040 is off already. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 5935, Oct 8 at 1315, VG S9+10 signal from Shiokaze in Japanese and piano from JSR; rivals the signal WWCR achieves earlier in the night, despite yesterday`s remark that JSR was JBA. Really good opening from E Asia this morning, and no sign of Tibet CCI; leads me to check on the other more fluid clandestines; see KOREA SOUTH (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 6045, Oct 8 at 1317, amid all the South/North Korean jumbling, also Korean? talk and music mix here no jamming audible; one station or two? Aoki shows:` `6045 1200-1458 TJK National Unity Radio Kor Dushanbe-Ya 1-7`` Dushanbe sunset 1258 UT, so possible grayline but would not expect this much signal from Tajikistan rather than E Asia. Ron Howard replies, ``Yes, after 1200+, I normally have strong reception of National Unity Radio. Some days with strong jamming. Ron`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA SOUTH [and non]. Seems Voice of the People, and Echo of Hope are shifting frequencies, mostly by 5 kHz, from one day to the next to keep the NK jammers alert. My observations October 8 at 1316-1326:
VOP: 3480 not 3485; 3910; 6600 not 6595.
EOH/VOH: 3985 but a JBA carrier on 3990; 4890 not 4885; 5995 not 5990 but a JBA carrier on 5990; 6350 not 6348; and at 1356, 9105 not 9100. I could also hear noise jamming on: 6350, 6600, 3985, 3910. Note that 4890 was NBC PNG`s flagship frequency should they ever reactivate.
Ron Howard had already posted to WOR iog a few hours earlier Oct 8:
``Voice of the People, at 1046+: 3910 // 3480 // 3935 // 4450 // 6525 // 6600.
Echo of Hope - VOH, at 1042+: 3985 // 4890 // 5995 // 6255 // 6350 // 9105. Ron``
He has also had much better reception of 9105: ``Hi Glenn, Interesting to note the difference between your location and mine regarding 9105 reception. My audio today of 9105 http://bit.ly/2IxZ9Up At the start and end of the language lesson English/Chinese/Korean?), a singing jingle ("When we arrive, the party will come alive").``
Then Wolfgang Bueschel replied to Ron: ``KOREAs TRACED Oct 8th in Hiroshima and Tokyo SDR's, 1430-1500 UT mostly scratch noise jamming

** U S A. 2097.3, Oct 8 at 0600, no signal detected from beacon A, which used to ID in CW every dekasecond from anywhere but Quartzsite AZ; nor some previous recent chex, as it always used to penetrate even noisy nightpaths. Is anyone still hearing it? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9475 & 5830, Oct 7 at 2057, WTWW-1 on neither possible frequency; a while ago noted 9475 back on but unlogged. Extremely irregular, more off than on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5890, UT Tue Oct 8 at 0557, S5-S7 of dead air from WWCR, which seems to happen more often on Tuesdays; about the same level as modulated 5935. Others: 4840 & 3215 both VG, the latter somewhat undermodulated BS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 3325, Oct 8 at 1326, S5-S7 of dead air; should be enough signal to detect modulation if any; more likely Indonesia`s English hour than Bougainville (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 5984.73, Oct 8 before 0100, JBA carrier, cuts off and on as I measure it. Maybe something local; only 5985 scheduled at this time is Myanmar, already a sessquihour after sunrise there (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
