** ALBANIA [non]. See USA: WRMI 5850
** CHINA. 11520, Jan 29 at 2348-2350, JBA algo, suspected CNR1 jammer, so look for more below: 11170 S1 in Chinese? 11150 two? JBA carriers slightly apart; 10820 fluttery. 11520 chex as vs RFA Tinian; 11170 & 11150 & 10820 vs Sound of Hope, all per Aoki/NDXC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11820, Jan 30 at 0332, no signal from CRI relay harmonic 2 x 5910, which is S9+30/40. I keep checking for a reprise of the bigsig it achieved four nights ago but not since; operational or propagational? Latter continues poor with lower MUFs as 11850 is also inaudible if on, and 11670 is a JBA carrier; it seems 11760 is always off before now, which BTW briefly jumped to 11755 per Harold Sellers, Jan 29 at 2132. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CZECHIA [non]. See USA; WRMI 5850
** NORTH AMERICA. 4060-USB, Jan 30 at 0303, weak S6-S7 pirate with ballad, still at 0330 but off by 0342. These logs say it`s Bread and Puppet Radio International, another Zekey thing, altho no later than 0250; and as usual those further east reporting much better signals: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,77372.0.html No pirate activity heard on 42 mb, but there`s more on 74 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 4030-AM, Jan 30 at 0305, weak music S6-S8, still 0330 and JBA past 0342. A few reports here say Ball Smacker Radio: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,77375.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SLOVAKIA [non]. See USA: WRMI 5850
** TURKEY. 5960, Jan 30 at 0002, VOT is still on opening German at S9/+10 direct, having failed to turn off by 2355 after English. Still going at 0023 when I tune via KB0FX remote in MO, also S9/+10 and finally turns off during music at 0036*. Should this recur 24 hours later, another collision with The Mighty KBC. Jim Leppard, PTSW iog, had wondered if I had anything to report about Romania or Turkey? No and yes. Something`s always erroneous at Emirler (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A. 5850, Jan 29 at 2300, R. Tirana via WRMI is marred by loud squeaking intermittently. It gets worse and worse and continues into R. Prague after 2330, so at 2334 I notify WRMI:
``Urgent --- 5850 squeaking! Since 2300 trying to listen to Tirana on 5850, heavy squeaking interrupting, getting worse. I thought it was a their problem. But it`s still happening after 2330 with Prague relay so it must be your problem. I think it stopped briefly during the ID up to 2330.``
And at 0048: ``It was still there after 2330 but abating. Did not listen continuously. After 0003 Jan 30 in Slovak it was gone. I`m rather sure this was coming out of your transmitter rather than QRM. At its worst toward the end of Tirana, it interrupted the program modulation. Initially on Tirana it did not, but was in addition to continuous program mod. "Is there a mouse in the house?"
Unlike the jamming-like QRM from a carrier CW-like beeping on 7571.6 which I had last night UT Jan 29 at 0234, rate of about 160 per minute. Glenn``
If anyone hear the 5850 squeaking again, let WRMI know ASAP. BTW, I was getting this both on my own rx and the KB0FX remote in MO.
As for the 7570 QRM problem, it`s happening again, Jan 30 at 0238 check vs BS, beeps from 7571.6, but different, à la ``bonker`` utes --- every fourth beat would be prolonged and mushy rather than a pure tone; and not always 4 apart (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** U S A. 6159.92v, Jan 30 at 0057, WBCQ concluding Area 61 truncated old-time-radio hour with ``we`re all being played`` --- at first I thought it was about 45-politix; S8 into KB0FX remote in MO which in SAM mode reads carrier minus 80v Hz from 6160.000.
7490.188v, Jan 30 at 0058, then I check the other WBCQ, when tuned to 7490.000 reads plus 188.3v Hz, stronger S8-S9, but the air is dead until just before 0100 ID and WTO opening `AAAWWW` which by now is also on 6160-. By the end of hour recheck, 7 has faded down to weaker than 6. As for what ensued between, welcome back to John Carver, mid-north Indiana, who is again online and able to hear it; his report has been posted on the WOR iog (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6925-USB, Jan 30 at 0230, occasional weak syllables, unsure of language or piracy while two will be active 4+ MHz; see NORTH AMERICA (Glenn Hauser OK, WOR)
UNIDENTIFIED. 10790 very approx. and broad, Jan 29 at 2351 after tuning for CNR1 jammers, here`s a terrible spurblob with talk cadence modulation, occasional bits of music, totally unreadable, not even in FM mode, nor can I be sure it`s English or Spanish.
In this area I suspect 10.7 MHz IF radiation from some neighbor`s FM radio, so I quickly scan localish signals thruout the FM and AM bands on another receiver, but nothing matches. Then I check 31m for strong signals such as RHC, REE --- no match either. Goes off at 2400* which make it non-local, but likely originating on SW. R. Martí might have been, but Grimesland turned off 9565 several seconds earlier. Ideas? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
