** ALASKA [and non]. 7355, May 1 at 1232, gospel music from KNLS English hour, QRM from pulse-jamming. When will stations ever learn never to go on a frequency which has ever been jammed by Cuba, at the same or any time? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** AUSTRIA. 15440, May 1 at 1420, JBA signal in uncertain language: listed as AWR in Urdu via Moosbrunn (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CANADA [and non]. 332-MCW kHz, May 1 at 0601 UT, ND beacon QT, which is 1000 watts from Thunder Bay, Ont., tho I wasn`t quite sure whether it was QE; atop my nearby IC, 400 watts at Wichita - PicnIC, Kansas, usually audible by itself. Different pitches help to differentiate them. Tonight lightning storms are faraway around the Bahamas and scattered spots in western USA (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. 11620, May 1 at 1241, song and Japanese talk, S7-S4. It`s CRI via Xianyang site. I would have expected India on this frequency, scheduled Tibetan service jammed, but currently most AIR external services locked down (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA [and non]. 11825, May 1 at 1237, Firedrake jamming atop something in English, just clips amid Chinese translation on VOA via THAILAND this hour; adding up to S9+10/20. Seems there is more FD and less CNR1 jamming these days (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA [and non]. 9660, May 1 at 1244, echoing Chinese plus Firedrake, vs Radio Taiwan International. The echo presumably two CNR1 signals. Aoki now shows sites for some of these: Fuzhou.
9680, May 1 at 1245, echoing Chinese only here, CNR1 jamming via Kunming vs another RTI Chinese frequency (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 7350, May 1 at 1251, RHC again here instead of 7340, not only MayDay but RHC anniversary: heartfelt renditions of ``The Internationale`` first in Spanish, then in Brasilian.
There are many different lyrix but in English I prefer Billy Bragg`s. Such idealism, yet ruined in application by Commies including Cubans:

UNIDENTIFIED. 1350+, May 1 at 1206 UT, somestation far enough off+frequency to make a LAH - low audible het, with dominant from NE, presumably KRNT Des Moines; but this one loops roughly SE/NW: two most likely culprits are KCOX Jasper TX and WWWL New Orleans LA, both with 5 kW day power.
