** ALGERIA [non]. 9655, May 3 at 2036, RTA with Qur`an is beep-jammed here, but not on // 9510, as heard via UTwente.
5940, May 3 at 2101, RTA is beep-jammed here but not on // 5930, via UTwente. BTW, the ToH ID is not only in Arabic but also French, and English, ``Qur`an Radio, Algeria``.
It appears the jamentity has only one transmitter so RTA is clear when running two frequencies, not always, but especially prime-time.
Wolfgang Bueschel says this has been going on for the past five years in the Sahel zone. In that case, someone might have DFed the source by now, but it`s never too late. However it may be difficult to separate perpetrator from victim. Could be the jamming start/end a few seconds apart from the Issoudun QSY times.
But later comes this reply from Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria: ``This is not jamming; this is the typical one of two different types of tweet of two transmitters via Issoudun. Only one type is used here for TDA. Two different types was heard for Radio France International in French 0700-0800 UT on 13695 & 15300. -- 73! Ivo Ivanov``
Well! I simply could not imagine TDF/MBR could be so defective, doing this to itself, especially for 5 years?! Ivo does not say how this was determined, but I suggest: monitor whether the beepery start/stop at exactly the same time the ISS transmitter go on and off. Something`s always incredible at Issoudun (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA [non]. 11880, May 4 at 1438, no signal from CRI relay via CUBA, supposed to be English at 1400-1600. Nor on ex-15700 nor anywhere else in the 7-17 MHz bands during routine bandscans. Something`s always wrong at RadioCuba. Wolfgang Bueschel also reported this missing yesterday:

** CUBA. 13740, May 3 at 2127, this RHC is on today but no spurs; however a bit distorted. One wonders if they swap around different transmitter units. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 7380, May 3 at 2314, RHC English in `DXers Unlimited` instead of 11880. Maybe Arnie saw wolfie`s comment that 11880 was too high to propagate that late into alleged target Africa. So is this not wrong?
9340, BTW, has not been heard again one single time since I caught RHC Spanish there, May 1 at 0020 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 13430, 13496, 13562, 13632; 13770, 13840, 13910, 13981, 14040-14068 approx., May 4 at 1350, FM/AM spurblobs out of RHC 13700-AM at 66-71 kHz intervals, in FM mode all with F# tone, the fringe ones only that as a giveaway. 13562 at S6-S9, and well-modulated if tuned in FM. The uppermost is very weak and diffuse INTRUDING inside the 20m hamband, clued only by the tone. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** OKLAHOMA. 90.1-WBFM, Sunday May 3 as usual starting a bit late after 2000 UT, KUCO-FM with `Wind & Rhythm`, an excellent program of band music, but not exclusively. A few weeks ago the entire hour was devoted to Carl Orff`s ``Carmina Burana``, one of my great favorites, to which I sing along if no one can hear me. Lyrix can be found here: http://www.classical.net/music/comp.lst/works/orff-cb/carmlyr.php I can handle the Latin a lot better than the Low-German.
This made it quite obvious that a number of sexions were skipped to fit it into one hour, so I requested that on a future show they play the rest. The first half this week, #570, did exactly that for ``Glenn in Enid``. W&R has a huge archive of shows on demand, and this one should be added soon. The first show from 14 months ago, which I heard on a more recent repeat, was this: http://www.windandrhythm.com/episodes/episode-516-carmina-burana The player shows less than 30 minutes, but you get to the second half by clicking on the forward arrows (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SAUDI ARABIA. 17615.065, May 4 at 1347, JBA carrier is the OSOB and therefore also the SSOB, signature always off-frequency plus. Tnx to Allah for SRI/SBC, without which we would have no evidence of any propagation on this band (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2032 monitoring: confirmed UT Monday May 4 at 0130 & 0230 on WRMI 7780, good via Rochester.
Also confirmed UT Mon May 4 from 0300.5 on Area 51 via WBCQ 5130, good via Rochester SDR.
Also confirmed UT Mon May 4 at 0330 on WRMI 9955, fair with jamming at Rochester, but good with no jamming at Bogotá. Next:

** U S A. 15770, May 4 circa 1400, WRMI much stronger than usual and so is 15825 WWCR --- both getting sporadic E boost. Checking DXMAP later, there are lots of Es patches over eastern USA, at 1622 MUF hitting 91 MHz over western TN/KY, so FM DX is in prospect (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 15555-USB, Sunday May 3 at 2126, I can tell that WJHR gospel huxter is on, JBA; usually no signal (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
