Glenn Hauser logs November +30-December 1, 2021

** BRAZIL [and non]. 6180, Dec 1 at 0245, CRI Chinese via CUBA dominates. I think there is music from RNA way under it, but // 11780 is also so weak I can`t match them for sure. At 0300, La Voz Alegre from MADAGASCAR takes over 6180 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CHINA. CNR1 WOOB jammer survey Dec 1 at 0005-0010, not in the order tuned, JBA u.o.s.: None in the 10s; 11410 S6-S5; none in the 12s; 13020 S5-S4; 13130 S9-S8 with flutter; 13920; 14920 S9-S7; 14980; 16160 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** CUBA. 9650, Dec 1 at 0013, still no show of RHC Spanish on new scheduled frequency, nor on ex-9710, rather China there. RHC is still on 9535. Something`s always wrong at RHC. 0130 check: 9710 China in Spanish with music background. But:

9640, Dec 1 at 0133, RHC is here! Not 9650 but very distorted and splattering up to 9650 on remote in Missouri; // 9535. Something`s always wrong at RHC. 0228 check, 9640 is S9, undermodulated and not distorted direct.

9700, Dec 1 at 0228, RHC English S9/+20, // 6000 only (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** ECUADOR. 6050, UT Mon Nov 29 at 0231, tune-in to national anthem which I had not heard in a long while, as the sad 1 kW remnant of HCJB is signing off earlier than on UT Sat & Sun. What surprises me is how strong it is into Missouri SDR, S9/+15, much better than I ever get it direct; until 0232*, and SAM shows carrier offset minus 5.8 Hz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR) {Date correct, missed in last report}

** EGYPT. 9899.59v, Nov 30 at 2212, R. Cairo still trying, strong but extremely distorted in talk which is probably English; via UTwente (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** KASHMIR [non]. 15170, Nov 30 at 1607 check, not only direct but at UTwente, no signal from Kashmir Civitas for the second Tuesday in a row, via ROMANIA; so last week`s absence not a fluke, suspended again or finished (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** NORTH AMERICA. 6919.9 AM, Dec 1 at 0011, unID JBA music, only pirate now, none on 6925 for a change. Nothing reported now in HFU, even as ``6920`` where there have been some logs recently at other times (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** THAILAND. 13750, Dec 1 at 0003, R. Thailand news in English with American accents, S9-S6 with flutter, best heard here in some time (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 2114 monitoring: confirmed Tuesday November 30 at 2330 on WRMI 9955, fair-good, sufficient into random interior wire and DX-398; some jamming maybe audible at fades. Next:

1030 UT Wednesday WRMI 5850 to NW
2200 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v to WSW
0130 UT Thursday WRMI 9395 to NNW, 5010 to S

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Nov 30 from 0727 UT, not in the order tuned: 621, 684, 693, 711, 747-2, 765-2, 774-2, 828, 846-TP?, 855-2, 882-2, 909, 999, 1089, 1107-2, 1125-2, 1215* --- *strongest.

Note 774, where there are normally two, altho mwoffsets shows nothing more than 3 Hz minus from Spain. But at this late/early hour both W Europe and E Asia could be propagating, remnants converging on deep North America; as Walt Salmaniw, BC reported Nov 28 to IRCA: ``Happen to be listening to 774, and heard a local ID for JOUB (NHK2 Akita) at 0720 UT. 1566 HLAZ booming in already, with readily heard cochannel Chinese. All this via my Masset SDR`` Mwoffsets shows JOUB is exactly 774.0000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. Trans-Atlantic JBA MW carrier search, Dec 1 from 0202 UT, when signals beyond W Europe are possible but it seems these are not: 531, 585, 684, 774, 837, 882, 999, 1089, 1098, 1116, 1125, 1152, 1215, 1305 kHz (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 2097.3 kHz, Dec 1 at 0207 UT, single-letter beacon A is JB audible every dekasecond, from anywhere but Quartzsite AZ (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)

UNIDENTIFIED. 9245-9250-9255, Nov 30 at 1559, sounds like DRM noise but nonesuch listed (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
