For the past week or so on 12000kHz when RHC (Radio Havana Cuba) is scheduled to be on there has been a jamming noise on it.It's actually not a harmonic. The US is jamming the 12000kHz signal. I located the source to be from the Alabama/Georgia/Florida State line. It's strongest on the Tallahassee and Birmingham Kiwi SDRs
Supposedly, thats just a harmonic.
I've never gotten understandable audio out of 12000.. it's usually just a messy rumble pile of noise and s&^t
1952 - I've got it with fair reception (choppy/noisy) with East Asian instrumental music. Likewise, I checked several sites and could only find RFI on this frequency at 0700 utc.
1600 - OFF
Found this while scanning the bands. The only station scheduled for this frequency is RFI, and they're only on 0700-0730z. I took a chance and used Shazam, which identified the music as "Days of Emancipation" by a Chinese composer named Zhu Changyao. The audio quality is much like The Firedrake when I can copy that here, so I suspect this is also being broadcast from somewhere in China. As of 1912 as I type this, it's still only music airing uninterrupted.

Given electricity shortages in Cuba it's surprising they would waste energy jamming what's not even there....or why they'd bother jamming at all given the impossibility of blocking the whole MW band.
I'm guessing 6180 is 250kw not 250w!
Don't know if this belongs here but Cuba has started jamming two new frequencies out of the normal HF bands. 7943kHz and 7954kHz. It's definitely Cuba as it's strongest near the Florida Kiwis.
EDIT. As I just sent it they turned off on those two frequencies
Excellent reception, Spanish service. Cannot find Radio Marti's own frequency schedule but there is not a listing for this frequency for Radio Marti on any online database I searched.

They've been coming in with actual audio more often here lately as well. I like their choice of 7260 much better than 9960, though I still miss the great harmonic reception on 11835.
