** CHINA. 15760, May 23 at 0055 and earlier, JBA carrier on almost vacant 19 mb except for 15230 Cuba. Aoki shows nothing but CNR1 *jammer & Sound of Hope over long span, surely the former. This week on WOR 2087, I quote Ron Howard on how to tell them apart (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 11880, May 22 at 2256, Cuban music in Spanish, S9/+5, not // 11760. 2258 IS & Spanish ID, 2259 intro English hour with program previews including Chief Meteorologist Jose Rubiera. Still going at 2323 and // much inferior 5040 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** CUBA. 13603, May 22 at 2151, distorted FM spurblob of RHC with F# tone, at this hour 137 kHz below S9+5 source 13740-AM, so it`s second-order; also stronger S3-S8 on 13671, first-order, 69 kHz below. Much less on upper matches 13809, 13878, all approx. Obviously the same transmitter which behaves this way in the mornings from 13700, and the 13740 then is different. Aoki says the spurry one is Bauta, the other, Bejucal. ``Something`s always wrong at RHC.`` BTW a Google search on my remark gets 2590 hits if spelt with a grave accent for the apostrophe, and only 238 if spelt with a single quote mark, which I avoid because it can often display as a garbled character unlike ` (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6933-USB, May 23 at 2157, pirate music, S5 vs storm noise peaks of S7 on my rx; 2212 gone? 2226 still/again music. 2231 via MO remote, S7-S9 Johnny Cash, 2235 ID as Goat Herder Radio, says will play Ian & Sylvia next; 2243 recheck off. A few more logs and a striking illustration: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,81946.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** NORTH AMERICA. 6955-USB, May 23 at 0003 rock music at S7; 0011 & 0018 announcements but unreadable due to high storm noise level; 0044 a canned ID but still unreadable. These say it`s Radio Free Whatever; after 2 or 3 QSYs: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,81942.0.html (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SCOTLAND [non]. 5850, UT Sun May 23 at 0100-0159, WRMI with `Encore` classical music from R. Tumbril; I enjoy it every week, preferably at this time with best reception, now for convenience via MO remote but also VG direct. Composers this week: Mozart, Mahler, Sibelius, Mendelssohn, Ravel, Schubert (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
** SPAIN. 17855, May 22 at 2142, zero signal from REE to N America and may not even be on air, or unpropagable. 15520 for ME is only S2-S4 off the back (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
