** CHINA [and non]. 15130, June 5 at 1353, two Chinese mixing: CNR1 jammer and VOA via Tinang, PHILIPPINES, this hour only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA [non]. 13650, June 5 at 1314, two equal stations in Chinese, partially music, a low-audible-heterodyne apart. In this case it`s not jamming but double-Commie incompetence, per Aoki/NDXC, this hour both Voice of KOREA [NORTH] in Chinese, and CRI in Chinese via Urumqi, EAST TURKISTAN, land of imprisoning and brainwashing Uighurs (which of course the Juche jackasses also impose on their own people) (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA. CNR1 jammers, June 5 at 1355-: 11440 S8-S9, 11150 S3-S5, 11100, 10920, 10870.
At 1359 a hasty scan above and below 13000 finds only 12880 in music.
At 1416, 11460 at S7-S9; 11580 S9+10/20 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CHINA [non]. 13650, June 5 at 2315-2357*, CRI Portuguese service via CUBA is nothing but nice instrumental Chinese music (NOT raucous Firedragon), to accompany my nap; cuts off without any announcement. They used to sign-on in Portuguese before defaulting to music, still? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 12200, June 5 at 0613, S4-S5 of dead air vs CODAR; obviously RHC 2 x 6100 also with dead air in English at S9+30/40. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 11510, June 5 at 1358, JBA carrier during CNR1 jammer search, but per Aoki/NDXC, only thing anywhen on 11510 is Radio Free North Korea at 13-14 via UZBEKISTAN. Or as in WRTH, Free North Korea Radio; and allegedly jammed. The userlist version of Aoki does not explain what * means, but apparently applied to jamming only by China as not upon Martí frequencies either (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TAIWAN [non]. 9955, Friday June 5 at 1406, WRMI-3 is still on with Freedom Synergy Radio, anti-PRC discussion in English. Original publicity for this said it would be on at 1400 via webcast but not SW; forgot to turn it off? Has anyone ever heard FSR in Spanish, also per original notice? Blalock the Blaster will impossiblize this on Sat & Sun, truly sked on 9955 until 1430 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TIBET [non]. 11570, June 5 at 1358, music unlike the CNR1 jammers being surveyed, 1400 still on open carrier S4-S7. Listed 12-14 is RFA Tibetan via KUWAIT (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** TURKEY. 9830, June 5 at 2225, VOT fair S4-S7 with music, no RTTY
(Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2037 monitoring: confirmed first NAm broadcast, Friday June 5 at 2200 on WRMI 9955, good via TWR SDRs both in Bonaire (er, ``Caribbean Netherlands``), and Dominican Republic, no jamming audible; at 2225 check direct to OK, only S4-S6, very poor.
Also confirmed UT Sat June 6 at 0130 on WRMIs, audible on all three in decreasing strength order from VG to fair: at Bonaire, 5010 > 5850 > 7780; at Alexandria VA, 5850 > 5010 > 7780. Next:
Would those awake at 1130 Saturday please confirm whether WOR be on WRMI 9955, as it was not last week tho still scheduled; direct, remote receiver, or webcast will suffice. Tnx.

** U S A. 7490v // 6160v // 5130v, UT Sat June 6, WBCQ cuts off FKB gospel huxter --- does that stand for Father Knows Best? --- before he can sign off with wrong WINB frequency, starting `William Tell Overture` promptly for `AAAWWW`; final interjexion sounds like ``Klondike`` --- OKaayy. Initial topix are black flies (again), mosquitoes, ice cream and air conditioning, subjects which do not really draw me in, so will anticipate John Carver`s full report:
``Tonight's show started on time on 5130, 6160 and 7490. Allan and Angela in the studio. Opening talk about black flies, Klondike Bars and mosquitoes. Phone call at 0010 from Andy talking about ice cream and air conditioning in cars.
Allan reads an email congratulating them on the wonderful music special that they ran last night on three frequencies. Then came the obligatory comments about how beautiful Angela is.
Phone call at 0024 about transmitters and monitoring radio usage by reading the local oscillator signals. He also commented on the better reception of 7490 this evening. Allan stated that they had increased power on all the classic transmitters and replaced several tubes and spent a lot of money in doing so and said he'd probably spend more money on them before they go back to Fla.
He also said that he and Angela and Tom and another crew member had fixed the tube ring on the big transmitter on Monday of this week. He posted a picture of the ring on twitter today. Said it was about the thickness of a paper towel and cost four thousand dollars. He is not impressed with the ring or that system. They are running the transmitter at slightly lower power for awhile at his command.
The plumbing job he talked of a couple of weeks ago started leaking again. He said it was a Chinese coupler that gave out. He went to the store and bought more supplies and did it all over again.
Then talk about a letter they received complaining about the Hal Turner show. He said it was a very nice letter and they answered as usual by saying they would do nothing to censor Hal Turner and if the writer was concerned they should write directly to Hal Turner.
Reading of emails at 0053 and closing prayer at 0057. Show was off the air at 0100 and 5130 signed off the air at that time instead of continuing with the Hal Turner show as they've been doing recently. John, Mid-North Indiana``
I do take the trouble to measure the frequencies at 0018, all of which are wavering slightly --- is it something about the AC power supply in Monticello causing that? 7489.965v, 6159.894v, 5129.979v (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 5890, June 5 at 0604, dead air from WWCR-4 despite TOMBS having bought out the transmitter; it`s committed to a certain amount of dead air anyway. Who needs it? TOMBS is blaring away with equally VG signal on 5850 WRMI-12, and modulated to boot, among others (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 9110-9170, 9485-9510, 9845-9875, June 5 at 1401, local sporadic scratchy noise blobs peaking roughly in center of these ranges.
10205-10225, 10560-10590, 10920-10950, June 5 at 1408, more of them audible up to 11 MHz, all at roughly/average 360-kHz intervals (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 11494-USB, June 5 at 1355, 2-way in English, JBA with uteblaaps. In UDXF iog several recent logs here from USCG Cutters (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
