KJES is back! Not reported for almost two months, but on 11715, Feb 2 at
1449 UT I am hearing some off-key singing, a dead giveaway, 1450 UT into
OM intoning verses, undermodulated and mixing badly with at least two
other stations, i.e. R. Liberty in Uzbek via Lampertheim, and ChiCom
jamming, probably CNR1 (tho Aoki does not show it as jammed, we know they
jam other Uzbek services).
This mess quit at 1459 UT, but now there is an open carrier as Vatican is
about to start relaying RVA Philippines in Tagalog/English back to the
jobless Catholic Filipino Gastarbeiter stuck in the UAE et al. Can't make
much out of KJES while this is on, but at 1518 UT I think I can detect
KJES still under there.
Finally at 1559 UT frequency is clear for KJES, monotone OM preacher in
English with robokidsinging off-key in background. 1559.5, kid ID in
English with usual "please let me know if you can hear me" but not "and
get me out of here!", 1600 UT into Spanish as scheduled. Still very
undermodulated and must strain to copy. Now there is increased ACI from
music on 11720 kHz which is RFA in Uighur via Saipan plus ChiCom jamming;
also squeezed on lower side by weaker N Korea. Since KJES had been making
a lo het with co-channel stations, I determine it is slightly offfrequency
to the low side, but probably not as low as 11714.90 kHz.
Now we need to check its other scheduled transmissions to see if they are
back too: 1900-2100 on 15385 kHz, 0200-0330 on 7555 kHz. For starters:
yes, 15385 kHz with kidchoir at 1905 UT on Feb 2, doing its best against
Greenville 15390 kHz Lavwadlamerik.
All three KJES frequencies supposedly rotate the LP antenna to different
azimuths at top of each hour, tho I did not notice any difference at 1500
and 1600 UT. Long ago, I believe they had problems with it being stuck in
one direxion. Even when active, their broadcasts were sporadic, and some
listings show KJES as M-F only.

Re 4775 ... have no idea how long WWCR had been on 4775 kHz tonight, as I
was not monitoring between 02 and 06 UT. However, a dxld monitor in South
Carolina also caught 4775 kHz at 0600 UT with Alex Jones, instead of on
5070 kHz. And Noble West in TN noticed 5070 kHz was off already at 0430
UT.
I heard 4775 kHz on air today (Feb 4) at 0745 UT with a good signal -
nothing on 5070 kHz. What is the difference between these two frequencies
- does the lower end one propagate better than the high end one? At 0750
UT there was only a unmodulated carrier on 3215 kHz at good strength.
Brother Stair was in full flow via 3185 kHz at 0750 UT - another good
signal - but only a carrier yesterday. Maybe he had fallen asleep at the
mike? I assume he has to sleep some time!
